Hey all, this is an interest check for a way of the wicked game.
We will be using Discord (text based) and have actual sessions between 4-6 hours depending on schedules and availability (again, text based) with the opportunity of continuing in a PbP format throughout the week.
I'll list most of the house-rules and house feats I use here-
Feat-tax rules will be in use. (mounted combat is a free feat as long as a character has at least 1 rank in the ride skill)
Background skills will be in use, in addition, you gain 1 additional skill point per level on top of your normal skill points per level.
If a spell is of the universalist school, you MUST be a universalist wizard to cast that spell.
Every PC may select a variant Multi-class without giving up feats, (in other words, pick a VMC, you gain those abilities for free, this is what I call a "half-gestalt")
All full BaB classes gain endurance for free (if your class gave you endurance as a feat, you instead gain Diehard, you do not gain this benefit if it is an "option" such as the half-orc option to gain endurance.)
A homebrew feat, "doublestrike", benefit: you may strike with both of your weapons as a standard action. Prerequisites: TWF, Dex 15
Spell focus- Applies to all schools you cast UNLESS they are your opposition schools This counts as if you had taken spell focus for each school. Greater spell focus must have a chosen school and only affects that school.
Every PC gains an additional feat to be used on a NON-COMBAT feat at level 1
Double-slice is gone. Two-weapon fighting now grants you full ability damage on your off-hand weapon.
Fighters gain perception as a class skill
Fighters gain good (full) reflex saves
Sorcerers gain Diplomacy as a class skill
Tower shields can be planted in the ground, and used as cover to fire ranged weapons from.
Bloodline spells are gained Immediately upon gaining the proper spell level to use them.
Hand of the apprentice uses its beta-testing rules, and replaces both to hit and damage with Int. (as does any ability based on or functions as hand of the apprentice)
Evocation school power now grants additional damage based on full character level (instead of half) and deals the same damage type as the spell used.
The build rules-
22 point buy non-graduated.
Max HP per level (bad guys get all the goodies)
0 starting wealth
no stat above 18 pre-racial, and no stat below 08 preracial. Only 1 stat may be 20 post racials.
4 traits, 1 drawback (non-optional)
Classes- All but occult, kinectist are the only exception.
Races- core and featured, no uncommon or monstrous races.
No templates, though these may be rewarded or acquired in-game
At least 2 paragraphs detailing your characters origin, and 1 paragraph for his personality. Minimum.
no CE characters. LN characters may be applicable.
Note the above section of house-rules, all of them will be in use.
VERY LIMITED 3PP, for maybe an archetype that has a lot of flavor (an example of this is the Lord of Darkness archetype for the anti-paladin) just for my sake. This is the first time I've run through the way of the wicked (ever) so this makes it easier on me.
if you are interested, and or have any questions, please ask!
also please do -not- post submissions in this thread or make aliases here as they will not be used. This is only to check for interest in the game with the above rules in place.
sounds cool I am interested
Extremely interested, wanted to run through this game for a long time.
Would you be down to have a CE character that is not one who behaves erratically, but is simply an anti-authoritarian, anti-hierchy anarchist, and is therefore strictly anti Lawful? Someone still willing to conform to the party's needs, someone who is a bad guy, but that does not mean they are a Bad Guy.
Also would the Scarred Witch Doctor archetype have its pre or post eratta ruleset?
Interested, will adjust. How are stats working. I think I am following you in that it is a one to one point build...correct?
Interesting set of house rules.
Here is my submission. I think it is complete.

Metamagic Mastery (Su)
At 8th level, you can apply any one metamagic feat that you know to a spell you are about to cast. This does not alter the level of the spell or the casting time. You can use this ability once per day at 8th level and one additional time per day for every two wizard levels you possess beyond 8th. Any time you use this ability to apply a metamagic feat that increases the spell level by more than 1, you must use an additional daily usage for each level above 1 that the feat adds to the spell. Even though this ability does not modify the spell’s actual level, you cannot use this ability to cast a spell whose modified spell level would be above the level of the highest-level spell that you are capable of casting.

Background: Szordrin was a promising wizard in a moderately powerful drow house. One night while on patrol his group ambushed a derro caravan. The battle that followed was quick and deadly. Szordrin claimed as his combat prize a magical gem known as a Ioun Stone, but before he was able claim his prize a lowly ranked priestess tried to claim it as her own. He had to submit to her will and his prized was forfeited. Later the next night Szordrin claimed his prized back and was successful in removing in from her cold dead hands, but not without a few witnesses. He was forced to flee for his very life and was found by a person known only as the cardinal. Szordrin has worked for this person ever since.

I apologize for post my alias as I did not see that you posted not to. My fault.
Interested, but unless it is evenings after 8(after 6 on Saturday, all day sunday and monday) I can't squeak in
will get to work on my character, have a couple of ideas either a summoner or an antipaladin also have an idea for a monk type but the back story was a little lacking
I would be very interested!
Ack, I did not see that it was a Sunday game. That is the one day of the week I cannot do >.<
Ok let us see here. Here is Clyde McClod, elemental sorcerer who stokes the endless burning hunger in his belly with whatever he can get his hands on.
