Alright, I'm getting ready to play in a level 8 3.5 campaign, and the DM has set up some ground rules:
-No pre-adventure-bought magic items
-Alternate bonus system. Maximum possible score=18+racial modifiers. Magic items can bring this higher, but nothing else can
-Also, every point above 12=+1. So, a 15 would be a +3 bonus, a 16 a +4, etc.
-Alternate wealth due to wealth rolls
I managed to come to a compromise with the DM, we'll be making "wish lists" of magic items we want/need, and she'll (probably) be giving us a good chunk of what we want/need in the next few adventures. However, a very heavy optimizer/powergamer in our group rolled max wealth(40,000 GP) and very high stats which the two in our group who don't optimize as much got average/horribly low wealth(only ~6k for the lower one).
How will this effect the campaign?
