AdenThornwood 02-12-08, 12:33 AM	I'll be honest; I already a posted a topic on this. However, due to how outdated the material in that topic has become, I decided it'd be best to start a new one. Bloodmetal Realm Introduction http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a89/DarkChao350/overland_casarei.jpg The world of Casarei is a dark place. Daemons and monsters haunt the countrysides of towns and evil has tightened its grip across the lands. Only the boldest of adventurers test their will and might within the vast wilds of this world. From the dark forests of Myran to the perilous deserts of The Wastelands, creatures creep around at night to devour the weak. Casarei is split into many city states. Some are united as one, but most are on their own, either epitomized for its grandeur or ignored for its puny existence. Bloodstains, ashes, and the dead line roads between towns, as they are not safe to travel. The people of Casarei are quite multicultural. All sorts of creatures can be found in a town, most of them working for a few coins or stolen away as slaves. The most playable sentient races that exist on the Prime material plane include demihumans (races originating from Casarei), planetouched (races with outsider bloodlines), and serpenttouched (races with ancient serpentine bloodlines). The cosmology is based around the seven generations of deities. The creator of all life is believed to be the goddess of life, Gaia; how she made the first life is unknown, but she was very creative nonetheless. Then the evil goddess, Hhelon, created a mighty planar black hole that combined the first of Gaia's planes (called the Material Planes), into the Prime Material plane; which is the one of the only material planes in existence. The outer planes today were created by various gods after the "Great Fracture", and later on, the inner planes were forged by the god Elemain. Life on the planes were given by Lilium and Gaia. Demiplanes were made by different gods demanding control over their own domains. Millions of years after the modern planar universe was created, during the birth of the 5th generation deities, the first civilizations began. Sooner or later, deities passed away and planes evolved. Planes created out of vice became darker, and planes created out of virtue became lighter. Planes created out of animosity became more chaotic, and planes created out of systems became more lawful. After reading the introduction, you should have a sort of insight on how life must be like in the realm of Bloodmetal. However, there is more to it than what is explained. Casarei, the continent where adventurers spend their days, is under a large renaissance that could possibly change the course of history throughout the world. Classes I have added a new class to the core classes as well as 3 new prestige classes. Details on how classes have changed are below. - Base Classes; All characters start with the Bandage(Ex) special ability described below. Bandage(Ex); A character is able to perform a minor heal on themselves or others. When they use this ability, they recover the hit points of themselves or of an ally within 5 feet. The amount of hit points recovered equals 1 + 1/2 the character's Heal skill bonus. The character can recover a minimum of 0 hit points and a maximum of 5 hit points. To successfully use this ability, the character must first succeed a Heal skill check (DC 25). Notes on class modifications; What is needed in a party? - Frontline close combatant (fighter) - Healing class (cleric) - Magic casting class (wizard) - Skill proficiency class (rogue) Below are classes that are not recommended to play in Bloodmetal; Paladin, Druid, Ranger, Barbarian, Sorceror, Monk, Bard, Marksman - Base Classes Exclusive To Bloodmetal; The Marksman / Specialty In Ranged Combat Alignment; Any. Hit Die; d8. Abilities; Dexterity, Wisdom Skill Points at 1st Level; (2 + Int modifier) x 4 Skill Points at Each Addition Level; 2 + Int Modifier Weapon And Armor Proficiency; Marksmen are proficient with all light and medium armor. In addition they are proficient with all simple weapons plus throwing axe, short sword, handaxe, light hammer, longbow, shortbow, composite longbow, composite shortbow. Class Skills; The marksman's class skills (and the key ability of each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Escape Artist (Dex), Gather Information (Cha), Heal (Wis), Hide (Wis), Jump (Str), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Spot (Wis), Search (Int), Survival (Wis), Tumble (Dex), Use Rope (Dex). Role; The marksman is the primary ranged support and the secondary scout class. He specializes in using his finesse and cunning to overcome obstacles. Unlike the rogue, he does not have a large skill selection but his focus on ranged combat makes him deadly from afar. Level Base Attack Bonus Fort Save Ref Save Will Save Special 1st +1 +2 +2 +0 Shooting style 2nd +2 +3 +3 +0 Critical shot +1d6 3rd +3 +3 +3 +1 Trap sense +1 4th +4 +4 +4 +1 Augmented weapon 5th +5 +4 +4 +1 Critical shot +2d6 6th +6/+1 +5 +5 +2 Trap sense +2 7th +7/+2 +5 +5 +2 Shooting style 8th +8/+3 +6 +6 +2 Critical shot +3d6 9th +9/+4 +6 +6 +3 Trap sense +3 10th +10/+5 +7 +7 +3 Augmented weapon 11th +11/+6/+1 +7 +7 +3 Critical shot +4d6 12th +12/+7/+2 +8 +8 +4 Trap sense +4 13th +13/+8/+3 +8 +8 +4 Archery mastery 14th +14/+9/+4 +9 +9 +4 Critical shot +5d6 15th +15/+10/+5 +9 +9 +5 Trap sense +5 16th +16/+11/+6/+1 +10 +10 +5 Augmented weapon 17th +17/+12/+7/+2 +10 +10 +5 Critical shot +6d6 18th +18/+13/+8/+3 +11 +11 +6 Archery mastery, Trap sense +5 19th +19/+14/+9/+4 +11 +11 +6 Greater augmented weapon 20th +20/+15/+10/+5 +12 +12 +6 Critical shot +7d6 Critical Shot(Ex); A marksman's accuracy can be very deadly. If the marksman performs a ranged attack on a flat-footed enemy and rolls a natural attack roll of 13 or more, he deals extra damage. At first level, this extra damage is 1d6, and it increases by 1d6 every three levels afterwards. The marksman must actually hit the enemy for this damage to apply. A critical hit is not the same as a critical shot, but they can both be used at the same time. Shooting Style; Different marksmen have their own styles of using ranged weapons. At first level, a marksman is allowed to choose one of three styles; rapid fire, long shot, or sharpshooting. At 7th level, the marksman is allowed to choose one additional style. If the marksman chooses the 'rapid fire' style, he counts as having the Rapid Shot feat, despite not having the prerequisites. If the marksman chooses the 'long shot' style, he counts as having the Far Shot feat, despite not having the prerequisites. If the marksman chooses the 'sharpshooting' style, he counts as having the Precise Shot feat, despite not having the prerequisites. Trap Sense (Ex); At 3rd level, a marksman gains an intuitive sense that alerts hims to danger from traps. giving him a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. The bonuses rise by +1 every three marksman levels thereafter (6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, and 18th level). Trap sense bonuses gained from multiple classes stack. Augmented Weapon(Ex); Starting at 4th level, a marksman is allowed to craft his own augmented ammunition/thrown weapons by using one of the substances/items listed in the table below. While this would normally call for a Craft skill check, this is not the case for this ability. Instead, the marksman uses his Dex ability modifier for making checks to see if he successfully crafts the augmented weapon. The DC for this check equals 10 + 4 (if arrows, sling bullets, crossbow bolts, or thrown weapons are used) or 8 (if any other type of ammo is used) + 4 (for every quantity of 50 ammo/thrown weapons used). The limit to this special ability is that a marksman can only craft one kind of augmented ammunition/thrown weapon. For example, a marksman can only craft arrows with acid, but he cannot craft crossbow bolts with alchemist's fire or arrows with a tanglefoot bag, etc. However, the marksman is allowed the option of crafting one additional augmented ammunition/thrown weapon at his 10th and 15th levels. The GP cost for crafting a augmented weapon is its DC x 10 and the XP cost for crafting a augmented weapon equals its DC x 50. The marksman must always buy or craft the substances/items used in the specialization of ammo/thrown weapons. He doesn't always have to use the items listed on the table either below. He may also use potions or oils to produce magical effects when his weapon hits a target. Substance/Item Used Effect Acid On hit, ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a thrown acid flask Alchemist's fire On hit, ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a thrown alchemist's fire Holy water On hit, ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a thrown holy water Sunrod Ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a sunrod. Tanglefoot bag On hit, ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a thrown tanglefoot bag Thunderstone On hit, ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a thrown thunderstone Greater Augmented Weapon(Ex); At his 19th level, a marksman is allowed to craft one more augmented ammunition/thrown weapon the same as with the Augmented Weapon ability. All checks made to craft this augmented weapon are made at a +5 bonus and the XP cost for crafting it is reduced by the marksman's Wis modifier x 10. Archery Mastery; At his 13th and 18th levels, the marksman is allowed to select one of the special abilities listed below. Deflect Arrows; The marksman counts as having the Deflect Arrows feat, despite not having the prerequisites. Far Shooter(Ex); The marksman's total range increment for his ranged weapons are increased by 1/2 his Dex modifier (if positive) x 5'. This special ability stacks with the Far Shot feat and other similar special abilities or feats. Arrow Of Doom(Su); Once per day the marksman can perform a single ranged attack that casts a doom-like effect on his target. The caster level for this supernatural ability equals the character's class levels. The marksman must hit with his ranged attack to cast the doom-like effect. Shot Precision(Ex); Once per day the marksman may add an additional 1d6 damage to an attack that has executed his Critical Shot special ability. Fiery Arrow(Ex); Once per day the marksman may perform a single ranged attack that cannot be deflected by the Deflect Arrows feat. If this ranged attack hits, it automatically counts as executing the marksman's Critical Shot special ability, despite the attack not being used in the appropriate conditions for a Critical Shot.

Damage reduction can reduce damage to 0 but not below 0. At 4th level, and every three god hunter levels thereafter (7th and 10th level), this damage reduction rises by 2 points. If the character is granted damage reduction from a different source (like barbarian levels), the effects stack. Smite Infidel (Su); At 2nd level, the god hunter may smite a creature of the exact opposite alignment once per day (In the case of nuetral characters, they must choose to be able to smite either lawful good, chaotic evil, lawful evil, or chaotic good creatures).

This bonus lasts 24 hours plus an additional 2 hours for every positive point of the valkyrie of hope's Cha modifier. This ability may be taken only once. Poison Immunity (Sp); When the valkyrie of hope uses this spell-like ability, one targeted ally gains a +4 temporary bonus vs poisons of any kind.

She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. This essentially means that she adds the level of valkyrie of hope to the level of whatever other divine spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly. If a character had more than one divine spellcasting class before she became a valkyrie of hope, she must decide to which class she adds each level of valkyrie of hope for the purpose of determining spells per day.

In some cases, like the goddess of evil Hhelon, deities even claim their own planes as domains. Cosmology There is a long explanation on how the realm's cosmology works. Every plane is like a planet, and their position according to each other depends on what sort of plane they are. For example, Baator (LE-Aligned plane) would be near other evil-aligned and law-aligned planes and near the Negative energy plane. The cosmology is organized by the "gates" system. The planes included in the realm are below as well as changes to existing planes; - Transitive planes are not included in the gates system. - Astral plane is the space outside of the planes. - Shadow plane is an omnipresent plane connected to all other planes. - Ethereal plane is an omnipresent plane connected to all other planes. - All Outer and demi- planes are considered Seperate Planes. - All Outer and demi- planes have a Self-Contained Shape. - All Inner planes are Coexistent with each other. - All Inner planes have a Finite Shape. - Transitive planes keep all the same traits as written in the DMG. - Astral plane: Coexistent with all planes - Shadow and Ethereal planes; Coexistent with Prime Material Plane - Planes follow same random encounters as counterpart unless written otherwise.

mcwood 02-12-08, 08:45 AM	I'll be honest; I already a posted a topic on this. However, due to how outdated the material in that topic has become, I decided it'd be best to start a new one. Bloodmetal Realm Introduction The world of Casarei is a dark place. Daemons and monsters haunt the countrysides of towns and evil has tightened its grip across the lands. Only the boldest of adventurers test their will and might within the vast wilds of this world. From the dark forests of Myran to the perilous deserts of The Wastelands, creatures creep around at night to devour the weak. Casarei is split into many city states. Some are united as one, but most are on their own, either epitomized for its grandeur or ignored for its puny existence. Bloodstains, ashes, and the dead line roads between towns, as they are not safe to travel. The people of Casarei are quite multicultural. All sorts of creatures can be found in a town, most of them working for a few coins or stolen away as slaves. The most playable sentient races that exist on the Prime material plane include demihumans (races originating from Casarei), planetouched (races with outsider bloodlines), and serpenttouched (races with ancient serpentine bloodlines). The cosmology is based around the seven generations of deities. The creator of all life is believed to be the goddess of life, Gaia; how she made the first life is unknown, but she was very creative nonetheless. Then the evil goddess, Hhelon, created a mighty planar black hole that combined the first of Gaia's planes (called the Material Planes), into the Prime Material plane; which is the one of the only material planes in existence. The outer planes today were created by various gods after the "Great Fracture", and later on, the inner planes were forged by the god Elemain. Life on the planes were given by Lilium and Gaia. Demiplanes were made by different gods demanding control over their own domains. Millions of years after the modern planar universe was created, during the birth of the 5th generation deities, the first civilizations began. Sooner or later, deities passed away and planes evolved. Planes created out of vice became darker, and planes created out of virtue became lighter. Planes created out of animosity became more chaotic, and planes created out of systems became more lawful. After reading the introduction, you should have a sort of insight on how life must be like in the realm of Bloodmetal. However, there is more to it than what is explained. Casarei, the continent where adventurers spend their days, is under a large renaissance that could possibly change the course of history throughout the world. Classes I have added a new class to the core classes as well as 3 new prestige classes. Details on how classes have changed are below. - Base Classes; All characters start with the Bandage(Ex) special ability described below. Bandage(Ex); A character is able to perform a minor heal on themselves or others. When they use this ability, they recover the hit points of themselves or of an ally within 5 feet. The amount of hit points recovered equals 1 + 1/2 the character's Heal skill bonus. The character can recover a minimum of 0 hit points and a maximum of 5 hit points. To successfully use this ability, the character must first succeed a Heal skill check (DC 25). Notes on class modifications; What is needed in a party? - Frontline close combatant (fighter) - Healing class (cleric) - Magic casting class (wizard) - Skill proficiency class (rogue) Below are classes that are not recommended to play in Bloodmetal; Paladin, Druid, Ranger, Barbarian, Sorceror, Monk, Bard, Marksman - Base Classes Exclusive To Bloodmetal; The Marksman / Specialty In Ranged Combat Alignment; Any. Hit Die; d8. Abilities; Dexterity, Wisdom Skill Points at 1st Level; (2 + Int modifier) x 4 Skill Points at Each Addition Level; 2 + Int Modifier Weapon And Armor Proficiency; Marksmen are proficient with all light and medium armor. In addition they are proficient with all simple weapons plus throwing axe, short sword, handaxe, light hammer, longbow, shortbow, composite longbow, composite shortbow. Class Skills; The marksman's class skills (and the key ability of each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Escape Artist (Dex), Gather Information (Cha), Heal (Wis), Hide (Wis), Jump (Str), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Spot (Wis), Search (Int), Survival (Wis), Tumble (Dex), Use Rope (Dex). Role; The marksman is the primary ranged support and the secondary scout class. He specializes in using his finesse and cunning to overcome obstacles. Unlike the rogue, he does not have a large skill selection but his focus on ranged combat makes him deadly from afar.

If the marksman performs a ranged attack on a flat-footed enemy and rolls a natural attack roll of 13 or more, he deals extra damage. At first level, this extra damage is 1d6, and it increases by 1d6 every three levels afterwards. The marksman must actually hit the enemy for this damage to apply. A critical hit is not the same as a critical shot, but they can both be used at the same time. Shooting Style; Different marksmen have their own styles of using ranged weapons. At first level, a marksman is allowed to choose one of three styles; rapid fire, long shot, or sharpshooting. At 7th level, the marksman is allowed to choose one additional style. If the marksman chooses the 'rapid fire' style, he counts as having the Rapid Shot feat, despite not having the prerequisites. If the marksman chooses the 'long shot' style, he counts as having the Far Shot feat, despite not having the prerequisites. If the marksman chooses the 'sharpshooting' style, he counts as having the Precise Shot feat, despite not having the prerequisites. Trap Sense (Ex); At 3rd level, a marksman gains an intuitive sense that alerts hims to danger from traps. giving him a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. The bonuses rise by +1 every three marksman levels thereafter (6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, and 18th level). Trap sense bonuses gained from multiple classes stack. Augmented Weapon(Ex); Starting at 4th level, a marksman is allowed to craft his own augmented ammunition/thrown weapons by using one of the substances/items listed in the table below. While this would normally call for a Craft skill check, this is not the case for this ability. Instead, the marksman uses his Dex ability modifier for making checks to see if he successfully crafts the augmented weapon. The DC for this check equals 10 + 4 (if arrows, sling bullets, crossbow bolts, or thrown weapons are used) or 8 (if any other type of ammo is used) + 4 (for every quantity of 50 ammo/thrown weapons used). The limit to this special ability is that a marksman can only craft one kind of augmented ammunition/thrown weapon. For example, a marksman can only craft arrows with acid, but he cannot craft crossbow bolts with alchemist's fire or arrows with a tanglefoot bag, etc. However, the marksman is allowed the option of crafting one additional augmented ammunition/thrown weapon at his 10th and 15th levels. The GP cost for crafting a augmented weapon is its DC x 10 and the XP cost for crafting a augmented weapon equals its DC x 50. The marksman must always buy or craft the substances/items used in the specialization of ammo/thrown weapons. He doesn't always have to use the items listed on the table either below. He may also use potions or oils to produce magical effects when his weapon hits a target. Substance/Item Used Effect Acid On hit, ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a thrown acid flask Alchemist's fire On hit, ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a thrown alchemist's fire Holy water On hit, ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a thrown holy water Sunrod Ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a sunrod. Tanglefoot bag On hit, ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a thrown tanglefoot bag Thunderstone On hit, ammo/thrown weapon produces effects of a thrown thunderstone Greater Augmented Weapon(Ex); At his 19th level, a marksman is allowed to craft one more augmented ammunition/thrown weapon the same as with the Augmented Weapon ability. All checks made to craft this augmented weapon are made at a +5 bonus and the XP cost for crafting it is reduced by the marksman's Wis modifier x 10. Archery Mastery; At his 13th and 18th levels, the marksman is allowed to select one of the special abilities listed below. Deflect Arrows; The marksman counts as having the Deflect Arrows feat, despite not having the prerequisites. Far Shooter(Ex); The marksman's total range increment for his ranged weapons are increased by 1/2 his Dex modifier (if positive) x 5'. This special ability stacks with the Far Shot feat and other similar special abilities or feats. Arrow Of Doom(Su); Once per day the marksman can perform a single ranged attack that casts a doom-like effect on his target. The caster level for this supernatural ability equals the character's class levels. The marksman must hit with his ranged attack to cast the doom-like effect. Shot Precision(Ex); Once per day the marksman may add an additional 1d6 damage to an attack that has executed his Critical Shot special ability. Fiery Arrow(Ex); Once per day the marksman may perform a single ranged attack that cannot be deflected by the Deflect Arrows feat. If this ranged attack hits, it automatically counts as executing the marksman's Critical Shot special ability, despite the attack not being used in the appropriate conditions for a Critical Shot. Prestige Classes: Notes on prestige class modifications; - The following are prestige classes not included in Bloodmetal; Red Wizard Of Thay. - Prestige Classes Exclusive To Bloodmetal; God Hunter / An anti-divine warrior who challenges deities and higher extraplanar beings to battle.

At 1st level, the god hunter gains damage reduction. Subtract 1 from the damage the god hunter takes each time he is dealt damage from a weapon or a natural attack. Damage reduction can reduce damage to 0 but not below 0. At 4th level, and every three god hunter levels thereafter (7th and 10th level), this damage reduction rises by 2 points. If the character is granted damage reduction from a different source (like barbarian levels), the effects stack. Smite Infidel (Su); At 2nd level, the god hunter may smite a creature of the exact opposite alignment once per day (In the case of nuetral characters, they must choose to be able to smite either lawful good, chaotic evil, lawful evil, or chaotic good creatures). Smiting a creature is done by simply performing a normal melee attack. The god hunter adds his Charisma modifier (if positive) to his attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per class level. If a god hunter accidentally smites a creature not of his opposite alignment, the smite has no effect but it is still used up for the day. At his 8th level, the god hunter is allowed to smite infidel one additional time per day. Diehard; At level 5, the god hunter gains Diehard as a bonus feat. Ability Boosts; At level 3, 6, and 9, the god hunter earns ability boosts. These bonuses stack and are gained as if through level achievement.

Evocation Of Valhalla (Sp); When the valkyrie of hope uses this spell-like ability, she automatically deals 4d6+her Cha modifier to one evil or chaotic creature within 60 feet of the character. This damage does not count double for chaotic evil creatures. This ability may be taken only once. Greater Smite Evil(Ex); At levels 1, 3, and 5, a valkryie of hope gains +1 bonuses to attack rolls and damage rolls when using her smite evil ability. These bonuses stack, for a maximum bonus of +3 to attack and damage bonuses on all uses of smite evil at level 5. Spells per Day; When a new valkyrie of hope level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in any one divine spellcasting class she belonged to previously. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. This essentially means that she adds the level of valkyrie of hope to the level of whatever other divine spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly. If a character had more than one divine spellcasting class before she became a valkyrie of hope, she must decide to which class she adds each level of valkyrie of hope for the purpose of determining spells per day.

For now, above is the basic game information for the Bloodmetal realm. EDIT: For more information on the Serpenttouched race, just simply click the link to the corresponding topic in my signature. Looks awesome, in depth and everything, makes mine look like toddler world. At least your setting has a name. And yes I quoted you so it would be really big.
