Character Creation Rules

- No ECL Characters, Half-Orc, Human, Half-Elf, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, or Goblin. Goblins do not suffer Intelligence penalties but are identical to the Goblins from the Monster Manual.

I'm a little unclear about a couple of things. First, what are ECL characters? Second, I'm assuming that your banning ECL characters along with halflings but are not banning Half-orc, Humans, etc, right?

Finally, are you using Fourth edition rules as a baseline or Third edition?

Character Creation in my DnD games is pretty simple.

- 4d6 reroll 1s, drop the lowest, distribute as you wish
- Max HP
- No Halflings
- No ECL Characters, Half-Orc, Human, Half-Elf, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, or Goblin. Goblins do not suffer Intelligence penalties but are identical to the Goblins from the Monster Manual.
- Character Level 3rd
- No Prestige Classes until level 9
- You may use the Player's Handbook and DMG + 1 Additional book. You may use one more book at the cost of a Starting FEAT.
- 2700gp, no more then 1000 on a single item
- Listen and Spot have been combined to be Perception
- Move Silently and Hide have been combined to be Stealth
- Any Alignment but stupid evil has stupid consequences
- Clerics will follow one of 2 deities. Juno, the Forest Goddess (AL N; Favored Weapon Shortbow; Domains Animal, Plant, Nature, Weather, Chaos, & Protection) or Cano, the Force of Light (AL NG; Favored Weapon Silver Dagger; Domains Healing, Sun, Protection, Good, Travel, & Knowledge)
- Paladins will use Cano as their spiritual force.
- Rangers and Druids will use Juno for their spiritual forces.
- This is a homebrew setting, so many world specific Classes, Races, Equipment, FEATs, & Spells probably will not be allowed. Check with the DM before taking them.
- All characters will be local and come from one of three areas (Blackville, Blackwood, or Ft. Calmount Trading Post) in game. More information on these locations can be found here.
- This list is subject to change.
