Xiaolin Showdown - Four young teens search the world for the mythical Shen Gong Wu to prevent evil from taking over.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - A small team of kids, some with abilities to bend the elements, travel the world to stop the evil that rules over the Fire Nation.

Dungeons & Dragons - A table-top roleplaying game in which creation is rewarded.

Using these three ideas, I've begun working on a roleplay idea that takes place in the world of Faerun from D&D where 4 monks in training hunt down godly artifacts (based on the Shen Gong Wu) and gain abilities to enhance their combat potential with their respective elements (similar to the bending arts of ATLA) in hopes of stopping evil from taking over the world.

I just need help putting it into words. Any questions are nice. Also wanting a co-GM that can control the "mascot" of the group.

Interested. Will we be using the classical elements or are things like light, wood, steel and so on also allowed?

This sounds like a total blast, I'd be down to play and help world build where you need. If you still need a Co-GM I've got some experience, though not as much with D&D specific rules if that's what you need.

@Rockin Strings I have seen a few of the episodes of xaolin showdown and enjoyed them, seen avatar the last airbender legend of Aang in it's entirety but don't have a lot of D&D experience

You didn't answer my questions though. Will we be using the classical elements or are things like light, wood, steel and so on also allowed?
And are you interested in suggestions for items?

@Duthguy For the elements, it depends on how many players I get. For items, I could use some ideas. All the ideas I currently have, though, are re-worked Shen Gong Wu, actual D&D godly artifacts, and daedric artifacts from the Elder Scrolls games.

I think this link as well as this one should help you give you some more ideas as well. As for my ideas they will no doubt need work but here they are

Ring of heat: A small silver ring with a round red stone engraved with a stylized flame set in it. Allows the user to send out hot beams of red light. Based on the Fire-ring from Captain Planet

Fan of gusts: By waving this fan around the user generates a strong gust of wind. Based on the Bansho-fan from dragonball

Terra Flail: Resembling a ball of stone attached to a silver crucifix-shaped mace handle connected by a long chain. The stone balls grows giant if the user swings it around. Based on the The Terra Sling Mace from Mystic Knights of Tir na nog

Boots of water walking: As the name suggests these waterproof boots allow the wearer to walk on water.

Gloves of stickiness: Even though those leather gloves only cover the wearer's hands the effect applies to their whole body. By wearing these gloves a person can stick to any dry non-slippery surface at any angle they desire.

Some other Items I came across by accident The Dagger of many daggers and The Lance of the restless seas

@Duthguy Good ideas. I'll pull some to add to the list. For now, I need help wording things in a way that'll bring in people.

How's this?

Long ago, when most races were still in their infancy, there was a war among the gods. Because there were too many gods being killed, Ao, the God of Gods, made it a divine law that any god caught killing another god would be killed themselves. Although they all followed his new command, none were happy about it. They decided to let their races war for them instead.

Many of the races that were supposed to be on the same side, however, turned against each other over petty squabbles. Thus, the gods began creating items for their chosen warriors, those that would war in the final battle. With these godly items, the chosen began their bloodbath. Only two warriors remained; Bahamut's chosen and Lloth's. To end the battle and claim victory, Bahamut's warrior sealed Lloth's priestess in a magical box that could only be opened with the Dragon's Fang Key, which was hidden as three pieces.

It's been 10,000 years since that battle ended. The Dragon's Fang Key was found and repaired, releasing the priestess, Haelra Baenre, who proceeded to inform the young mage that had freed her about the godly artifacts that had been scattered and hidden, waiting for their chance to shine again.


Anything you would change or add?

Also, Dorgydenth is the name of the gold dragon.

Thinking the young dragon or Dragonborn that's in your party is his descendant.

@Rockin Strings It works but why would monks with elemental powers be the ones to hunt the items down and not paladins or clerics?

@Duthguy While they would make sense in the west, I am taking more of an eastern feel where monks would make more sense.

@Duthguy I've been trying to think of how to word everything. That's what I've been asking for help with. I don't know what to say.

@Rockin Strings As I said as far I can tell it sounds good. Just add in the part about it being eastern based to explain the monks and I for one think you're good

To end the battle and claim victory, Bahamut's warrior sealed Lloth's priestess in a magical box that could only be opened with the Dragon's Fang Key, which was hidden as three pieces.

Not long after that, with the thought that more evil beings would search for the hidden artifacts, Dorgydenth, the gold dragon chosen to be Bahamut's warrior, began construction on a monastery in the east. With how corrupt the people of the west could become, he could only imagine most of their opposition would come from there and wanted somewhere the young monks could train in safety.

It's been 10,000 years since that battle ended. The Dragon's Fang Key was found and repaired, releasing the priestess, Haelra Baenre, who proceeded to inform the young mage that had freed her about the godly artifacts that had been scattered and hidden, waiting for their chance to shine again.

Do you understand, young monks? That's why you were chosen. Now, tell me a little about yourself.
