This is basically the same game as the one that has been running for quite a while, but it will be all official material, no house rules or non-rulebook sources of any kind, and I may enforce mandatory characters if things get too far out of hand (TRF has said that things were getting carried away in the other game). I also want chracter and OOC dialouge to be better managed, in other words don't fill this game up with a bunch of meaningless chatter (If all you want to do is talk about something, do it in the other game). New players are always welcome, and in fact encouraged, even if you don't own any of the books or know any of the rules. If any new players want to join, see the other game for rules, give me a race and class, and I will take care of the rest. As soon as at least 4 characters are made, this game will begin. The module I am using is a DCC, known as "The Black Pearl" (and I don't mean the ship from Pirates of the Caribbean)

An undead game would be a strange change of pace but still cool. when playing it would change alot of the gamestyle.

How's this?

Deathborn

No Con, -2 Dex, +2 Int, +2 Wis, +2 Cha
+2 Natural Armor
All hit Dice become d12, regardless of class.
Immune to critical hits.
Immune to Charm/Compulsion effects.
Immune to Turning/Rebuking.
+2 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Search, Sense Motive, and Spot checks.
Dies when it reaches 0hp.
Can be raised and healed as a living creature would be, not as an Undead creature would be.
Deathborn need to eat, sleep and breathe as a living creature would.

Deathborn are the children of newly created Liches. They have no body fat at all and have slightly grayed skin.

That seems kinda overpowered, but way cool. Which book is it in.

I just whipped it up. Basically a Lich, but way powered down and killable. What is overpowered about it?

For an LA of +1 your shmerious. Well if I can cook up a decent enough race, how about a Gobbler it has been DH approved he actually helped make it.

But since it is only half Undead and was never turned into an Undead, it wouldn't be able to be affected by Turning.

Dibs, what if I drop the Charm/Compulsion to a +2 on saves?

Show me the Gobbler and I'll think about it.

I'm not going to allow that in such a low level party. If the part is lvl 5+, I would allow that. Sorry.
