FPQ Online

"Calling all Adventurers! The Good Haflings of the shires seek adventurers to clear the slums of Phlan (formerly Fort Doom). Many of the Barons evil minions still infest the city and must be pushed out to make way for the good folk of the Barony. Speak to the council clerk for specific assignments."

The Rules
This game will be what I like to call 3.5 lite. The goal is to play more and calculate less. Most of us like 3.5 but let’s admit its combat system takes too long.
All characters start at 1st level. Roll attributes as normal 3 sets of 4d6.
Books Allowed for players
• PH
• Racial Classes from Unearthed Arcana, Racial levels are considered a favored class for a race
Books Allowed for DM
ANY required. Once the DM introduces a book it may be available to players on a limited basis
Rules Changes
• No attacks of opportunity without combat reflexes
• Limited Swift and Immediate actions
• Grappling may be attempted Once per turn only, not by number of attacks
• No XP penalty for multiclassing
• Choosing your races favored class gives you +1 HP per level and +1 skill point. This means that if humans take the class they have the highest number of levels in they receive +1HP and +2 skill points.
• Critical Fumbles per our standard FPQ variant, roll a one if you miss again you fumble, turn is over. It doesn’t matter in what order you rolled the dice in as soon as you roll a fumble your attacks are over

Religions
The people of Mystara worship immortals, here is a list of immortals a player may choose to follow. When choosing domains you may choose any 2 but you must have a valid reason to have that domain. I.E I worship Ares I have the Strength and War domains, not I worship Ares I have the Healing and Love domains.

Buying and Selling Magic Items.
This section is just a guideline and may be changed at anytime by the DM.

In a world were magic is common and magic items are made to be used and sold by many different people, Magic Items can be compared to art. In the real world art is bought and sold in lots of different ways. From the most valuable and raw either being unpurchasable to the crappy knock off at the local Bed, Bath, and beyond. For instance, a lowly cure light potion, while outside the means of a simple peasant is both common and easy to make for those with the means to purchase them. You might find cure light potions at the local church, general store, or even a traveling street vendor. On the other end of the spectrum are the truly remarkable items, like a vorpal longsword. An item made specifically for the ultra wealthy. Items like this are treasured by the owner and either not for sale or sold at auctions where the value may far exceed it's actual usefulness. Sometimes the only way to get what you want is to find an artist to create it for you. In this endeavor, the quality of the artist will directly impact the end result. So as presented earlier I have created a list of templates that alter the item. When you find or buy an item refer to the template to see how the item is effected. When buying or selling an item the following is a brief guide to understanding how the process works. Keep in mind the DM may see fit to alter this based on location, circumstances, or whatever whim he feels.

To go along with the idea that there are different types of vendors for magic items and they deal in different types of items here is a brief list of the places/manufactures of items that can be found to buy/sell items:
1 - Non professional - things like minor potions, not quite expertly made things
2 - Prints/copies/mass produced - anything that is considered to be extremely useful. many people would want copies of the same item.
3 - Professional, starving artist - this would be well crafted original items that are either avante garde or just not in high demand
4 - Professional, commissioned - these would be specific items crafted exactly as the end user wanted
5 - Professional, Masterpieces - these would be items of tremendous value/and/or use, prints and copies of the items may be available but these are superior to those. Maybe the copies are made by lower level apprentices, these are made by the master
7 - Priceless antiquities - artifacts, relics of ancient power, basically anything that would command money that only the richest could hope to have, kings, emperors, lucky adventurers
8 - Fads - items that have less intrinsic value then there cost
9 - Heirlooms
10 - Yard sale/Pawnshop

The listed templates and items may seem to make the process complicated but most of the info is background information about why the system exists. The following is the guidelines on how this works in the game. Keep in mind Roleplaying does affect these rules and they are just guidelines to help the players and the DM understand how and where the players can buy/sell items.

Selling Items

Buying Items


























They do not work together because Improved Two-weapon fighting takes a full round action so anytime you use it you get more attacks but you can only take a 5 foot step. With Two-weapon attack you can move up to your speed and make an attack with your primary hand and your off-hand, I think I will include that it works with spring attack however. so you can make a spring attack with both your primary and your off hand if you have spring attack.
-cF

updated some of the materials and added to them based on found items.

Held for content - I am removing the first questions so i can expand this section

Held for content

Lots of questions, but I will hold off until your rules are more complete.

~O

I probably won't post any more information until after the next session. As I recall you planned to visit Nat Wyler the item dealer from Mirros so I will let you find out in game how it works then post it here.

Rules Updates and Clarifications
-Rage does not end after you go unconscious, Rage is adreneline based so you still have it until you're rage runs out
-Co-due-grace - DC is the amount of damage dealt not 10+ the amount of damage
-The DC to wake from sleeping on listen check is 10 but sleeping character suffer a -10 to the check

A few questions. First, your feat listed.

Two-Weapon Attack - Requires Two-Weapon Fighting, May make an attack with your primary and off hand as a standard action.

How is this different from what is already allowed in the combat rules for Two-Weapon Fighting on page 160? "If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon." Does two-weapon fighting take a full round action, and if so, where does it say that?

Next, for thrown weapons and two-weapon fighting, "the same rules apply when you throw a weapon from each hand". So, one extra attack per round (reduced difficulty if off-hand is light and two-weapon fighting feat is taken, etc) at ranged. Now, Point Blank Shot reads on page 98, "You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges up to 30 feet." This would apply, yes?

Now, does Rapid Shot stack on top of this fighting tree, as page 98 reads, "You can get one extra attack per round a ranged weapon. The attack is at your highest base attack bonus, but each attack you make that round takes a -2 penalty. You must use a full round action to use this feat."

So, theoretically, at sixth level, Faldor the fighter has weapon focus and weapon specialization in light hammers and has the feats Two-Weapon Fighting, Point Blank Shot, and Rapid Shot. He has 2 base attacks at +6 and +1. He wants to throw his hammers at Morduk the Orc Barbarian who is 20 feet away. In a full round attack, Faldor can then throw 4 hammers with the following bonuses:

Base attack (6) + Weapon Focus (1) + Point Blank Shot (1) - Two Weapon Fighting (2) - Rapid Shot (2) =
+4 / +4 / +4 / -1 for (1d4 + 3) damage?

-CLG

under full round attack - as we discussed at the very beginning of the game - from the SRD
Full Attack

If you get more than one attack per round because your base attack bonus is high enough, because you fight with two weapons or a double weapon or for some special reason you must use a full-round action to get your additional attacks. You do not need to specify the targets of your attacks ahead of time. You can see how the earlier attacks turn out before assigning the later ones.

The only movement you can take during a full attack is a 5-foot step. You may take the step before, after, or between your attacks.

If you get multiple attacks because your base attack bonus is high enough, you must make the attacks in order from highest bonus to lowest. If you are using two weapons, you can strike with either weapon first. If you are using a double weapon, you can strike with either part of the weapon first.


under attack also from the srd

Multiple Attacks: A character who can make more than one attack per round must use the full attack action (see Full-Round Actions, below) in order to get more than one attack.



so the feat makes it a standard action, so you can move and use both weapons, and yes when throwing the axes, point blank and rapid shot would work. However you would need some way to draw the axes as a free action to do what you propose. Or, you could through the 2 weapons in your hand using the rapid shot fee and not the 2 weapon fighting feat - making the damage and to-hit slightly better.

Rules Clarifications
-You may draw up to 2 weapon or weapon like objects as part of a normal move - i.e. moving more than a 5ft step. this does not include move actions like standing, crawling, etc only normal movement.

-Several new spells have been encountered in the game and may be possible for mages and clerics to learn. As posted earlier, by default not all the books are allowed but some content from them may come into the game. As always if you really want something not currently allowed I will likely ok it as long as it fits with the game.

New Item Modifier:
Famous: Famous items are world renowned to people of a certain race. For people of the race the item is famous for the holder may apply a -10 or +10 to the diplomacy check to adjust there attitude. In addition a +1 to diplomacy is always offered just from owning the item.

New Item:
Adventurers Vest - A vest made to fit over adventuring gear and armor. It keeps potions or scrolls in easy reach. Metal studs protect the contents from damage but require a long time to fill and prepare so the item may be used at a moments notice. Potions fitted to an adventurers vest require 1 minute to attach to the vest bu may be retrieved as a free action. Scrolls attached to an adventurers vest require 5 minutes to prepare but may also be retrieved as a free action. Vest come in all sizes and shapes so no 2 seem to be the same as they are typically customized for the user.

Any chance we can have a "Who's Who" page? I wrote a bunch of stuff down, but am missing some names. Like, the Prince and King...
