The following will be base templates for the combatants. Guidelines:Level 2, 80 ability points(1:1 point buy) and set beginning Feats(I will take requests for other selections). Characters may choose to be Mercenaries or members of the standing army of Lorraine, Flanders or Normandy. If you choose to be in the Northern campaign you will be a Viking.

This feat is free for them as well. ====================================================================== I am using a computer mass combat resolution system to determine outcome of mass unit battles. It will be done by turns. Characters will roll as usual, their sucess or failure will effect the outcome of the battles by means of a positive or negative modifier being applied to the computer based battle calculator. I am planning on having battle maps posted for characters. Initially you will not have much to do with War Planning that will be handled by higher level PC's, but should you survive and rise in level you will have the chance to command, first a few troops then more. If a group gets together they should nominate one leader amongst them. Individuals will be accepted as well. I will take up to 20 PC's, one per player please. The battles will start between January 2nd and 10th, 2007. system: 3Edition D&D/3.5 Game Hosted at Roleplaymarket.com DM: Horseman This game has been running for around 20 years, the last 5 on line. The Wars will not last forever, and players who survive are welcome to continue play as adventurers. -- posted from PBEM News - PBEM listings and announcements Reply to this post at http://www.pbemnews.org Up
