 |
|
I have ahd a lot of free time this week at work. I have been thinking that it would be fun to finally do a home brew world.
I bought Wilderlands of High Fantasy thinking it would be a great base. But it is kind of bland. It is almost a huge list of encounters, rather than a world/nation view.
But after thumbing thru the Eberron Campaign book (nothing on TV) I realized that the continent is huge with plenty of room for my own stuff.
Plus it already has many of the things I want - rival nations/kings, a cool mostly unxeplored continent, noble houses.
AND I have every freekin Eberron book.
So I am going to stick with Ebberon.

So after this before the next season of Sqwonberrron - after Star Wars - I am planning on making some minor tweaks
1. Deleting the continent of Argonessen.
2. Detailing the continent of Salorna - no psionic Quari things.
3. Allowing non- house dragonmarks.
4. Tweaking the current gods ( adding to there qualities/domains)
and adding 3 more.
The Goddess of Luck and the Goddess of Misfortune (twin sisters)
cliche - but I like it.
God of Death (neutral) - cuz I think it is needed.
[/list]

Faiths of Eberron is due out next month; maybe that'll help you flesh out your deities, as well.

That was part of my epiphany. With the gods being more than 1 paragraph - they should be more interesting.

|
|
Since we play with "feat every level" I was thinking of severely limiting prestige classes allowed.
I would think that you could create the character you need with the feats and maybe multi-classing. Plus I am allowing almost every Wotc base class plus variants.
Player comments?

limiting prestige classes is fine, i don't think too many characters had or were even going for prestige classes. Except Bron who was a master inquisitve, but he's dead.
Deleting the 2 continents is fine, i never really cared for psionics anyway, and Argonnessen is basicly another unexplored continent. |

I am not deleting Salona - I am drastically changing it.

So...I guess that the all Psionic Gnome Bard campaign isn't going to work, then. Damn. Back to the drawing board. |

Prestiage Classes should be rare and pretigious. Unfortunately, in 3.x they are neither. 
There are some things Prestige Classes do that a few feats can not. For example, a prestige class can turn you into another type of creature over a long period of time--dragon (Dragon Disciple), fey (Wildrunner), outsider (Alienist), etc. The gradual transformation is cool (and a fantasy staple, to boot).
I guess I would not mind at all if you severly limit / strongly discourage them and require DM approval for any PrC. Just in case that perfect PrC really floats my boat and I feel I have to take it, it's nice to know it's a possibility. But unless it's truly rare and prestigious, I probably will never want to take levels in one.*
Unless I can play a Fighter / Wizard / Spellsword / Eldritch Knight. That's just cool.  
*Of course, now that I've said that, I'll probably stumble on the coolest, most presitgious, not overpowerd, perfect for my character PrC right before we return to Sqwonkberron next year!
