Ground rules: [note changes since last edition]



- D&D 3.5
- 28 32 point buy
- ECL 6 8 (I don't mind if you have a 1-20 build in mind, but assume it's a level 8 character that needs to be played as is)
- Allowed sources: Core, PH2, ToB, Complete ..., Races of ..., SpC, MIC, Dungeonscape, variant races and classes from Unearthed Arcana.
Here's how it's going to work: [note rules were changed slightly]
First player assigns a score for one attribute. The second, another attribute score, and so on. After 5 scores were assigned, there's obviously only one possible value for the last score, so we'll go with that. The sixth player chooses a race and applies racial adjustments to attributes.

Each of the next 6 players (or less than 6, if an LA race was chosen) will choose a class for one of levels 1-6, and make all relevant decisions for that level (bonus feats, if any, ACFs, if any, skill points, familiar or animal companion, if any, maneuvers/spells, if any, ability increase at level 4, etc).
Hit points are always maximum for level 1, and half of maximum for each next level.

The next (13th) player will equip the character with standard WBL. The one after that (14th), chooses a name, gender, and the 15th writes a cursory backstory, and we're done!

More rules, well, actually more of guidelines:
- To give as many people as possible a chance to participate, PLEASE DO NOT POST UNLESS AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE POSTED SINCE YOUR LAST POST.
- Please treat this as a serious attempt at character building, and don't deliberately make bad choices with the goal of sabotaging the exercise.
- Having said that, if you believe the person before you made a bad choice, don't yell at them or try to have it overruled, just go with what you have.
- While I encourage you to justify and discuss your past choices, I'd rather you NOT tell the next person(s) in line what to do and which future choices to make.

Here's what we have so far:

CON: 15
INT: 10

Child of Shadow is a stance, not a maneuver. Did you mean another strike with Shadow in its name by any chance?
