I mean if the title wasn't enough...
I'm going to be running a campaign to unlock gunpowder/gunslingers within the world of Dweomerstar.
Your characters would not be originally from the nation of Ar'vahl (Though I guess they COULD be, if you wanted to).
Instead, you are all essentially freedom fighters sworn against the nation of Cheliax, on a mission to not only throw off the yoke of oppression the devilbinders have long hung around the neck of your people (Or just, y'know, cuz Chelaxians are assholes or whatever) but also to stop the production of powerful new armaments the Chelaxians have, per rumors, recently begun to procure.
The campaign will be taking place in an island/nautical setting, and black powder/ships/siege engines/firearms/etc will obviously all be playing a part in the larger story. You may be pirates, you may be corsairs, you may simply be a group with a ship trying to find safe harbor. That's up to you. Your captain (and all shipboard positions) will be elected and maintained by players, outside of the very very VERY first ship you sail in on. No one is forcing you to take things like Profession: Sailor or Swim, but if you end up tossed into the briny deep by a rogue wave or wind up in naval combat with another vessel and don't have them, tough titties, I warned you in advance
.
Character creation will go as follows:
-Basically all classes/archetypes are allowed, pending approval, EXCEPTING: Gunslingers (Archetypes that grant gunsmithing/firearms are A-Okay, just not a dedicated gunslinger as your group would essentially be those that catalyze others into becoming such individuals), Regular Summoners, and Anti-Paladins. Unchained Summoner is fine but no archetypes or anything and, please, for the love of god, be swift with your turns if you decide to play one.
-We'll be starting at level 3, character creation will proceed as follows: Post a level 1 sheet to the Gunpowder subforum (under Character Creation), get it approved by me, then build up to third level and post again for final approval. Use standard wealth by level (3000 GP, for a level 3 character) and no items worth more than 2/3 your total wealth.
-Standard Races, per Dweomerstar rules. Something to note is that Chelaxians view non-humans (and really, non-Chelaxians) as second-tier, at best, and are very, VERY into slavery/sacrifice to seal their pacts.
-20 Point Buy, Hero Point rules (anti-heroes allowed), and typical 2 traits + one more if you take a drawback.
Any questions? Ask me. We'll be starting in roughly two weeks (after I get back from drinking my liver to death in Cabo).
