Planned to start in Perrenland in the North-West part of central Greyhawk, Rise of the Runelords is expected to be a quick-leveling heroic campaign.
Region
The campaign starts in Perrenland, in the canton of Hugelrote and township of Sandpoint. Characters are assumed to be native.
Characters
Characters are built on 25 points or by a semi-random method.
- Roll a set of nine attribute scores. For each score, roll 4d6 and discard the lowest.
- You have 20 points to spend. Decide which of the rolled attributes you want to use, and which you want to discard. For each of the rolled attributes that you keep, you get one extra attribute point to spend. This results in characters built on 20 to 26 ability points.
- Spend any remaining points until you have 6 attribute scores in total.
- At any time, you can do a 25-point buy instead of taking the rolls.
Humans, Aeries, Halflings, Half-Elves, and Satyrs have variant rules. Dragonborn are not in play. Gnomes are in play.
Common Races: Dwarves, Eladrin, Gnomes, Humans (Common, Minor, Flan, Oerdian, and Rhenne).
Rare Races: Thieflings, Humans (Olman or foreigeneers). These will attract attention and possibly ire.
Classes: All classes from the Player's handbook. Somewhat more cumbersome are the Artificer, Barbarian, and Bard classes only available as previews; these require special arrangements at this time. The Swordsage from Forgotten Realms Player's Guide is rare but available; the Scarlett brotherhood and the Eladrin cities from the feywild are the sources of this lore, and it can also be a result of magical experimentation in the common culture.
Rules
- All rules from the 4E chapter here on Hastur apply, except those that are specifically noted as highly optional - check those with the DM.
- Superior Weapons are generally available, but make much more sense for particular cultures. Firearms exist, but are rare and powder is very expensive (1 gp per shot).
