Scribd AND P&PG would be 'guilty of distribution'
Good catch, Necrite.

necrite saves the day! =D here's a legal link to an online version of the free SRD.


and here's the link to the somewhat difficult to find 3.x SRD page on wotc's site. scroll to the bottom to get the all-in-one download. =D

these both contain mostly (~98%) the same material. there are a couple of exceptions on the online version, those are noted as such on the site. enjoy!

I thought that the SRD had a bunch of the fundamental material cut out... For instance, the combat section is entirely watered down for SRD, as is the magic and spell sections, and there is nothing in it about XP or leveling.

[Necrite]

That is true. That's why I said not all the rules are covered by the OGL.

[Elbryon]

yes and if the rules arent listed you can probably submit them to Necrite in some way for him to reference he could determine if they would be useable

to clarify, the combat section is quite complete, minus the fluff and explainatory text.

magic is pretty well rounded as well, again minus the fluff and explainations.

and as for the xp here is a handy quote from someone else's discussion:

To get to a new level, you need xp equal to your current level x 1000....

it would be a good idea to get the phb, in any case. =D

So what are our statuses? I'm still working on Gladen's background story.

[nijineko]

i've finally gotten in my character sheets and notes to necrite, just waiting his approval before posting them here, and trying not to interpret the long silence as ominous... ;D heheheh. i'm not too worried, if he decides against it, i have other ideas waiting in the wings. if he's for it, well then, prepare yourselves for a fun ride. =D this character is pretty "interesting".

[Elbryon]

He does sound that way I am waiting to see him fleshed out

[Caligula]

Did you decide on whether you are full or not, Necrite?

[Necrite]

So what are our statuses? I'm still working on Gladen's background story.

That depends on what exactly you mean. Your status in your home area can be pretty much anything you want, as long as it isn't too grandiose (no king's firstborn son and heir apparent, for example). None of you will be of high enough import (see previous statement) for that to impact your bearing in the City State. You will all (except for nijineko, the difficult bugger) start at Social Level 4, meaning that within the City State, you are viewed as if you were on equal standing to a low to mid-ranking soldier, a common merchant, a minor noble (burgermeister, non-inheriting son of a duke or baron, bastard son of a slightly higher ranking noble), or a known (but not notorious) adventurer. As you become known in the City State, your Social Level will be adjusted up or down, based on any gain in popularity, contacts, or other influence.

Well, I haven't heard from the guy I'm waiting on, and adding you won't push the group over my real life comfort level, so I'm going to say go ahead and roll a character, and hopefully I'll have reached a higher comfort level with this format by the time he gets around to joining.

If I took too long to reply and you've moved on to other things, I'm sorry for the delay. I really had no reason. I'm a bastard.

[Fitz10019]

I'm a bastard.

RPG and this, too? We have so much in common!

Honestly, no big deal. Don't worry about it.

Well, I was in a couple other games, but they both fell away, so for now the game I am DMing would be the only other one besides this one. Yeah, I'll get a character written up...I'll have him for you sometime today or tomorrow, Thursday at absolute worst.

Any class you have in mind?

[Necrite]

I think we can take just about anything at this point. Roll whatever you want.
