Where dark elves rule - Recruiting, 13th level chars - 5 - 6 positions.

First 6 applicants accepted.

A thousand years ago, the land was lush and
plentiful. All nations prospered in relative peace and
harmony except for the “Dark Ones” that lurked in the
darkness below. The Dark Ones made war upon the
surface dwellers, but their greatest enemy was the
brightness of the sun.

One day, the skies filled with storms and
darkness the like of which none had ever seen. The
world trembled and quaked, causing great devastation.
It truly seemed that the end of the world had come.
Clerics and priests seeking solace fom their deities were
the first to learn about the war among the gods.

The goddess of the Dark Ones had carefully
plotted and conspired to seize control of the Elven
pantheon and destroy any who stood in her way. As the
Queen of Treachery took control of the remaining Elven
gods, her children, the Dark Ones rose up from the
depths to wage total war upon the surface dwellers. To
ensure her children’s success, the new Queen of Treachery
darkened the sunshine to a purple color that could
not stop them from conquest of the entire world.

The Good deities at first attempted to resist the
Queen of Treachery’s efforts at total conquest and rule.
But as the Gods War continued to rage, it became clear
that Evil was winning. Many gods saw wisdom in
retreating, only to return another eon. The ones that
stayed behind subtly altered the very weave of magic
that encompasses the world. It lessened the powers of
mages (and the abilities of those with innate spell
abilities) to call forth magical spells. This effectively
prevented the Dark Queen from making changes to
benefit her children even more.

With the departure of nearly all of the Goodaligned
gods came the extinction of the earthbound
races that followed these deities. Gone are the faerie
folk, the mer-folk, the sea Elves, most of the half-folk, and
nearly all of the fey Elves. Humans have managed to
avoid extermination, but their numbers are nowhere
near as plentiful as they once were.

The only major race that has consistently stood
strong against the Dark Elves is the Dwarven nations.
Deep within their mountain strongholds, they refuse to
fall to the conquering Dark Ones. Their numbers have
dwindled to the point where they cannot launch an
effective offensive and gain the upper hand. They only
wait for each new attack upon their soil to defend what
is theirs.

The only hope for the oppressed races of this
world is the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. This
prophecy tells of a group of powerful beings that come
from beyond to lead this world into a new age by
defeating the Dark Elves and casting their goddess from
her throne. It speaks of a great war that will unite all of
the remaining races against the vileness of the Dark
Ones, driving them back into their underground realm.

Me! Me! Pick meeeeeeeeeee!

What do you want to know about characters at this point? I'm thinking of playing a ranger of some description. Not that I'm trying to claim spots or anything, I thought I'djust mention it before Lady does:D

//'Nouk

Ranger will be fine, also prestige classes are accepted, as long as I can get the details for them.

^^ Theoretically speaking, if you had wanted a position, you would have it. Theoretically.

I hate you.

*pokes out tongue*

You'll just have to be something else, won't you?

Meme?

I'll be sensible-like. I will. No magicness either.

Very good... *Evil smirk*

I lied... Rogue/Wizard Halfling. Shininess.

Halfling! *eeeeeeeeek*

*cough*

Ahem. Well, my ranger has now multiclassed into fighter/ranger. She may possibly take up the Dervish prestige class (in Complete Warrior) as well. Because that's a shiny combination. You all remember Shahn, the spinny-shiny drow from my last foray as a DM? She was a fighter/ranger/dervish. But I won't be having a displacer beast companion, so don't panic, Oti

Anyway, a female sun elf fighter/ranger(/dervish) with a dire wolf companion. That's as far as she's spawned as of yet. DM approval granted?

Ooh! And I want a ferret familiar...

Both have been given the stamp of approval.

Fighter/wizard halfling approved for Level 15, ferret also approved if still want.

Sun elf fighter/ranger(/dervish) with a dire wolf companion approved.

Correct?

^^ Merci... ferrets aren't in the basic dnd stat-things... so I'll write up some stats (based on a rat or similar) and post them.

For the master's benefit, +3 to Hide? I know it probably won't matter... but anyways.

Arigatoo, Oti-chan!

It's not exactly brilliant, but it recommends +2 to Reflex save for ferret familiars.

Can someone tell me why Improved Familiar is in Complete Warrior and not in Complete Arcane?

I was thinking 'bout +2 Reflex, but seemed a little overpowered... be it looks like that's what the Wizards are saying, so +2 Reflex it is.

Ah! and Weasels have +2 Reflex. All good.
