I want to set up a massive campaign with an unlimited number of players. It will be a big multi forums thing so if i could get a lot of support we can get started in a subforum cus its going to take a lot of work and i will need 1 or 2 support game masters if we have a lot of players.
Its going to be set up as follows.
D&D 3.5 ECL 6 Max Hp at Start. 42 Point buy. 20,000 starting gold. Plainshifting is everywhere in the world so any class race or anything else is pretty much up for grabs as long as its reasonable. Drow normally want to be rangers or fighters not spell casting demon slayer from hell be real. Site everything for your character. The story will be set up when we get the forum up and running for back story. Lots of character fluff required.

well you have my attention and interest...
Might look at Living Arcanis stuff... so if you don't already have and and can't find it lemme know and I'll find a way to get it to you cause it was a real ^&*(% for me to find... and that's with a friend on LUE, IRC and a lot of other sources...

Site it and show it if I can't find it and its yours basically, but there are somethings I will drop ban hammers on. Mostly on homebrews that are broken or things that just down right would never happen.

Why not Pathfinder rather than 3.5? Tis the superior system and the conversion to the system is easy for game master and player alike. In addition it's backwards compatible with 3.5 content.
As it's 3.5 my desire to Co-GM is none at all.
With PF it's increased to at least a percent chance.
---- WHOA... 42 point buy!?!? Even in 3.5 that's insane!?! Balancing such a game is just foolish in my opinion.
I just find it ridiculous to have an ability score lay out at around
18
18
18
10
5
3
I'd run a full d20 game, max 25 point buy for PF (Different system for PB), and that's what I'd Co-GM as well. Count me out for either system with a 42 PB.
I wish you good luck with your game though and support your fun.
I highly suggest you switch to Pathfinder though. I can link you the System Reference Documents, Wiki, and more if needed. Thus you'd have all the material required to play the game and game master it.

Frankly each version of the system has it's flaws and benefits, and the conversion isn't nearly as easy as everyone claims, a lot of it is open to interpretation- which overall is a good thing, but it would be nice to have more examples to work with to guesstimate things- It time the system probably will surpass 3.5, for now personally I see them as equals

Though the expansion materials are not what should make the game itself. The core itself is superior to that of the 3.5 core. That's good enough to call it superior.

Frankly that's largely a matter of opinion, I like Path, but I still prefer 3.5- but this isn't the thread to discuss this on

As far as the super high point buy your characters are local legends of your home plane and are brought to a new plane being inhabited by powerful mages and magical creatures that are drawing a power sink into the whole known universe. It shall be explained more in depth when i have enough of a player count to have a subforum. Any one that wants to play and cant come up will a character can have me make one for you, but if i do i will be doing it on a whim. So you never know what you will get or even if its anything you would like to play.

Also i am a true to heart 3.5 player since there are so many more books and sources for now thats how its going to stay. I play everything but I will only DM the system i know. I personally think PF is great but I started playing 3.5 and will swear by it. The 42 point buy is to help players survive due to it being the meaning of life, universe and everything.

ECL 6 and we're local legends- heh- wow- big fish in little ponds is what we'll be, lol... anyway- working on a concept... trying to which minor choices to make on race... ya know- do I really want to lose two levels over a template sort of thing, if I don't do I want to break into a third class or keep to just the two I need to go the direction I'm taking the char- if- which one of the three doesn't make it...
short version, I think I'll stick to ground pounder and not lose to levels to half-fey, which means I'll need spring attack to make the concept work- really high speed, sort of a strafing tactic in battle...
Looking at four potential races for the build
Human: for the extra feat
Osalikene Elorii: because I can take a feat that adds another +10 to land speed
Val: because they have interesting racial abilities
Xeph: because I can take a feat that gives an additional attack so many times a day...
Probably take only two of the three classes below:
Druid- Druidic Avenger variant (Unearthed Arcana)- possibly taking the planar substitution levels but probably won't be that high to start
Barbarian Variant, Dashing Step (DR349 p92)
Scout- Complete Adventurer
The scout is definitely there, but I'm torn between the bar and the avenger really... both have rage so it seems even more silly to do both- avenger has magic, but dashing barb has bonuses to charging... but I'll be spring attacking more than charging- I'll probably go avenger.. wow- talking out really helped me figure it out... have the classes down pat- not I just need to slam out the race...

Technically with the alexandarian comparison of the mathematics and realism of Dungeons and Dragons. Level 6 is your official demi-god level. Thus it makes sense.

I still say this sounds painfully like taking an Olympic champion to Mt. Olympus- or DC comics...- probably an oddly fitting description xD... hopefully that aspect will add to the enjoyment- roleplay wise...

By local legend i do mean local not global or national legend lol. You can always buy off the level adjustment as shown in unearthed arcana. Also note everyone is building stand alone characters. Not trying to fill a party (Altho they may be formed in game.) So balance is necessary. I am also giving everyone that joins before the 1st of April a free fully custom magic item tuned just for there character. It will fill a body slot and be soul bound to that character. I am also giving players 5 ways to gain EXP. Defeating creatures or characters, Completing quests, Staying in character at all times (Given when I think you exemplify your character), Staying active (Given after X amount of time But requires a post a day for that time to be met.) and for anyone that helps with the game itself.
