Issues, quieries and just general questions go here

So we have a Goliath barbarian going into the tournament as well as a teifling warlock plus a few from me, I wonder if more people will want to get this winners item

The character I'm working on is a PI/Bounty Hunter, could be he engages in the tournament if it makes sense that such a thing will help him to track down his current job. Would be nice to find a reason to participate ;)

You starting at level 1 or 0? He could of forged documents to enter the tournament to get closer to his mark who is rumoured to be participating?

Level 0. I didn't go through the trouble of brainstorming level 0 rules to not use them ;)

That was the justification I was thinking of.

Lol you're so gonna get squashed in the tournament but at least you can't die lol alternatively you could possible fake being one of the back room staff at the event or a Royal/embassador or someone who could get backstage

when should we have characters made?

Whenever, I don't have a timeframe for when this will start as a few homebrews will need a bit of tweaking and I'll be writing up a lot so you have time to figure out what you want

Seems to be a contradiction here... If you have rules and are encouraging/welcoming people to start at level 0, but have balanced the tournament for those who start at level 1... So we have to choose to start at level 1 and have a fair shot at the tournament or start at level 0 and pray to the dice gods? In any case, I think I'll still give it a shot - who knows.

For the record, I'm going to try out the level 0 rules even as a contestant. I actually might change from being a barbarian to just a straight-up fighter.

No because the tournament is for champions, people are sending there best obviously sometimes there best is a young inexperienced kid but most will send there best

That's fine, you just won't have the fighter or barbarian which ever you choose level one skills

Could there be a single post with the level-0 rules? Reviewing the comments across multiple pages gets me lost as to what's in place and what was dropped.

I can do that, tl:dr It simple got put as a level 0 you need 150 XP to get to level 1 where you will get everything you would from level 1 of the class and then when the classes that start at 1 get to three, level 0's get boosted up to level 3 so everyone is on the same level, starting at 0 gives you a free feat (no more than 1 even if you get a free feat in you're race)

Seconding this^^

I actually haven't decided whether I want to do level 0 or 1, and if I want to try my homebrew race or not. Too many ideas :-) Seems a shame to pass up the 0-level mechanics though.

Thrown up something Candi put up on the tavern thread but edited slightly, have to add the level three part but yeah lol

Edit- I see you posted the details elsewhere. Deleting this to avoid confusion.

Also, I see you created a subforum for lv1 vs lv 0... for the sake of organization, I might recommend that you don't create subforums for every topic... the more subforums there are the harder it is the find information as you need to dig deeper through the forum structure to scan all of the post topics.

In fact, I recommend, having run forum games for years now, that the main game thread goes in the top level forum and not a subforum (I suspect the 'story' forum is where you intend to put the main game threads). Putting the main thread at top level just makes it that much easier for the players to navigate from the website home page to the threads that matter most.

Candi, if you want, your bounty hunter could have a warrant for my pirate, or someone from his crew.

On a general note, will this tournament be the only thing going, or is it just the hook to get the entire player base together before leading off into other things?

Just the hook but it's focus will be on Leander but yeah the tournament is just to get everyone together
