4d6 drop the lowest. I'm doing the rolls to ensure fairness. Aelfborn are from Dragon Magazine #307, page 67.
Well, there is a trapmaking department in the dungeon. Easy enough to have a new hire. Plus, I love kobolds. Psychotic communist dogpeople/lizardmen are always fun. LET THE TAXATION BEGIN TO BEGIN.
So yeah, here's an OOC thread where we can hammer out characters. Remember the basic concept- dungeon minions. Psyga- Commoner 1/Survivor 2 Raineh- Aelfborn Rogue 3 Grey Star- Kobold something Primal- Kobold Trapmaking Intern Rin- Drow Something
Name: Takahara, AKA Kamen Rider 15, AKA The Great Leader Age: 57. Gender: Male Appearance: While untransformed, he's a fairly typical salaryman. His various transformations. Canon, AU, or OC?: OC Universe of Origin: Kamen Rider Decade Personality: Takahara is, first and foremost, a henchman. He tends to just go along with things and isn't very bright. While not transformed, he's fairly cowardly, running from combat- he's nearly sixty after all. This goes out the window once he's gotten into the spandex. He has forty years of experience fighting foes vastly more powerful than himself- he's taken so many Rider Kicks and Rider Punches that he can perfectly emulate them. He fights to protect his comrades in villainy with everything he's got- after all, the boss might consider them expendable, but they're still on the same side. Abilities/Weapons: Lockseeds! - Fifteen Arms (Sinister Instrumental)- Takahara's base form, this gives him the Yomimaru, a fairly large sword- it reaches from his feet to his shoulders. It's also the only weapon he can carry between forms. - Eternal Arms (EN-JOY YOUR HEEE-EEELL~)- Born from a Lockseed exposed to a Gaia Memory he stole from the Museum he once worked for, this form is equipped with a dagger called the Eternal Edge and slots for 26 Gaia Memories to grant the weapon various effects- though they're hard to track down these days. - Core Arms (MEMORY! MAGMA! BURN-BURN-BURN!)- Formed from a Lockseed exposed to both a Gaia Memory and a set of artificial Core Medals, this form emulates the power of Kamen Rider Core- a flaming giant formed from spiteful memories of Kamen Riders. This form is easily the leader in terms of physical strength, using gauntlets called the Core Crushers to unleash devastating punches. - Poseidon Arms (SHARK-WHALE-WO-LF-FISH~)- Armed with the Deepest Harpoon, this form can breathe underwater and move rapidly through aquatic environments. - Glaive Arms (JOKER OF RED!)- Arming Takahara with the Glaive Rouzer, this is one of his more versatile forms- the Glaive Rouzer comes with an incomplete set of Rouze Cards. However, without these cards- which require scanning into the Rouzer- this is a fairly weak form, with little in the way of offensive or defensive options. Backstory: Takahara has floated around as villainous organizations have risen and fallen. He started out as a Combatant in SHOCKER before getting transferred to accounting. Then the Kamen Riders broke free and fucked everything up. So he moved on to Destron. Same story. Eventually, he discovered the multiverse as he was hired by Dai-Shocker... and then a pink Kamen Rider promptly fucked up the multiverse AND his cushy job. But at least this setback opened up an endless multiverse of employers. From BOARD to Smart Brain, Takahara's a familiar face among the shady corporations of the Kamen Rider worlds. Takahara's most recent employers have included a museum (that for some reason manufactured USB sticks), a corporation that seemed to have its hands in everything (he ended up doing finances for R&D), and a Japanese pharmaceutical company trying to get in on the "Battling Monsters" craze. But of course a Kamen Rider came and fucked those up too. He's finally settled into a position at Shadow Eternity after grabbing a few things from the ruins of his office at the Yggdrasil Corporation as a severance package to go along with the trophies from a long history of failure his employers have endured. Turns out when exposed to various sources of power, the fruit of Helheim matures into a lockseed reflecting the source. Faction: Shocker+

I assume you're doing the Commoner 1 entry trick, so I'm fine with Survivor. The one from Savage Species, right?
Well, think dungeon minions. Goblinoids, kobolds, drow, orcs, minotaurs, muckdwellers, anything you could see living and working in a dungeon as a career choice.
Psyga, I'm going to have to veto anthropomorphic animals. Most of them are just too good for LA +0, especially the anthropomorphic bat. And I shudder at a druid with +6 wisdom and a fly speed.
I have just realized that I never finished putting up the name for this. Oh well!
Somewhat interested. I like the premise, but the 3.5 rules for level adjustment means that our creature options are limited (unless we're permitted to pursue normal species) - the experience penalty for LA is just too severe, both short and long term. Likely won't be joining, but I'll keep an eye on this.
For future reference, here's a list of races with zero level adjustment.
"GLORK! Come to me!" "Yesssss, Dungeonmaster! I hear and ob-" "Glork, I have no time for your theatrics. You have seen the omens?" "Yes, master. The moon grows narrow, and the nights grow shorter. The elves move to protect the treasures of their forests, the dwarves move to claim the great works in their ancestral halls..." "The kings of men have set the notices for brave heroes... This can only mean..." "Indeed... it would seem that tax season is upon us, Dungeonmaster." --- Tax season is no fun for anyone. Large sums of money to be paid to governments, political bribes, bills for standards of living... but it's a lot rougher for the denizens of a dungeon. They are constantly beset by greedy adventurers. If they're lucky, it's ones that can be bribed to go away. But usually adventurers are the type who don't care what they have to slay to get rich. To remedy this, the forces of Evil and Law got together and came up with a brilliant idea- offering cash incentives to Dungeon Lords. After all, they still have expenditures. Those traps, weapons, and treasure chests don't build themselves after all. Plus there's the cost of replacing labor in the event of an adventuring party, feeding the minions, and medical costs. So, the Dungeon Lords are paid to keep a steady influx of loot to grease the wheels of society- everybody wins! That is to say, except you. You're fresh minions, new recruits into the employ of the Dungeonmaster. A mysterious figure, it's rumored that nobody has seen his face except his right-hand goblin, Glork the Minion Master. Most aren't even sure if he's human or something else entirely. But he IS willing to sign your paychecks, and in the current economy, that's the part you care about. --- So yes! A 3.5 game focusing on the unfortunate masses of minions that adventurers plough through in search of riches. I know that level one is boring as sin, so I'm thinking of starting at level 3- you won't be cannon fodder, but you're still near the bottom rung of the dungeon.
