So, I'm planning on starting a new campaign of D&D 3.5 with some friends, and I've decided to set the game in the Avernum world described in Jeff Vogel's Avernum series.
I've got most of the details ironed out. the campaign will take place before the first game, and focus on the development of the fledgling kingdom of Avernum.
I need help, however, designing some traits for the Nephils, Nephar, and Sliths.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the setting. Nephilim are Cat people who are skilled with Bows, nimble and quick. Nepharim are a sub-breed of the Nephilim that are born bigger, stronger and Sterile. Slithzerikai are lizard people who are proficient with Polearms, love the heat, are resistant to fire, and hate the cold.
I'm also trying to design several artifacts that were used by the "First Expedition" to Avernum and lost by them (They all died).
There's, the "Blessed Athame" which was a blessed knife that was super sharp and super durable, able to cut almost anything (Even the Tiny Bottle-Prison of a Demon-King of Hell). The "Orb of Thralni" which was a magical orb that allowed its weilder and his companions to fly. "Demonslayer" was a greatsword that was so heavily enchanted to fight demons, that it could slay them in only a few blows. The "Onyx Scepter" was a rod of black crystal that amplified its weilders' magical abilities, and was so powerful that Portals that were in it's presence were much much much more stable.
