Background
For more detail, see: The Backstory
All humans have ascended. There are so many gods that the universe itself has begun to fall apart. Through cooperation of Law, the universe has been stapled together, and Heroes are being collected to find a solution to the impending doom of the metaverse.
Rules
The game uses the standard 3.5 rule set, meaning it is open to most SRD content.
3.5none
3.5none is a ruleset which started as a joke on /tg/, which stated that 3.5e was perfectly balanced provided you threw out the core rulebooks. This has resulted in the following set of rules being built by me:
- Starting at level 1
- If your race has a level adjustment of +1, you may start at Level 2 by taking 1 level of Commoner, which will be replaced with Level 1 [Replacement Class] upon level up.
- “Core rulebooks” are defined as Monster Manual, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Player's Handbook.
- 3rd edition books are cool, however corrections or replacements in 3.5 will take precedence
- No classes, races, special items, spells, or monsters from the core rulebooks, unless they are redefined in another book. (If Fireball is given stats in Tome and Blood, it is admissable, even though it is originally from Player's Handbook) This rule has several exceptions, them being:
- The Commoner class is allowed
- Templates and creature-types from the Monster Manual are allowed. (Dragon, zombie, aberration, ghost, etc.)
- Randomization tables from the Dungeon Master's Guide may be used by the DM.
- To clarify, types of armor and weapons are okay. Longswords, plate mail, etc., are still good.
- All expanded books and third-party books are fully open to usage
- Homebrew is allowed on request, and encouraged if you have something really neat
- Plain ordinary humans are banned no matter what rulebook they come from.
Narrative Levelling
Levels are awarded when it makes narrative sense. When enough time has passed, the character has pushed the boundary of their level, and they have a suitable training assist to expand their expertise. (Be that a mentor, book, or cosmic force.)
