Appearance: Ants appear as oversized insects with some humanoid features. Ants stand about 2 feet tall and usually weigh between 10 and 30 pounds. They have two pairs of large black eyes. Most have a chitenous exoskeleton colored red, black, or brown. Ants reach adulthood within 2 years and can reproduce after 5 but do not generally live beyond 50. This short lifespan tends to instill within them that everything they should do needs to be important and they must not waste their time.

Ants speak Antian and Common.

I would have it that at level 15 they convert to a Soldier ant, and at level 30 they become a queen...
also that at every 5 levels, their average lifespan increases by *2

[Crovius]

Well what I was going to have them do was they'd take a prestige class to become a soldier. Taking the class would give them a few bonus pell-like abilities and other bonuses as well, then they'd also gain 10 years to their maximum lifespan. Then they could take a second prestige class to become a Queen that would require they had taken the Gulded Soldier prestige class. Taking it would double their maximum lifespan (essentially allowign them to live past 100, and get close to 150), among other bonuses.I figure there should be 10 levels of Guilded Soldier adn then 5 levels of Guilded Queen.

And ofcourse they have to pick a few levels of a combat capeable class before they qualify for the Guilded Soldier class. Since they start with 2 hit dice and a +1 level adjustment, having 1 class level makes thema 4th level character, so they can have 7 class levels for the game run.

[Daemonwelsh]

works well for me... thank you crovius.

[Crovius]

Ok, I'm ready for people to start making characters. Considering the decrease in level adjustments I was able to make team wide, the Effective character level caps at 6. So most of you should have about 2-4 class levels in whatever class you choose. Remember, favoured class does not cause xp penalties when you multiclass so you can haave just 1 level of you favoured class and more than 2 levels in another class.

All characters can have one magic weapon or armor with a +1 bonus, a second weaopon or armor that is master craft, and one magic utility item that costs less than 2000 gold.

The game will start in one of the commerce capitals on the southeastern landmass, so roughly 40% of NPCs will be Crowkahn, 18% will be Ailoran, 15% will be Den'i'ata, 12% will be Khalterian, 6% Guilded Ants, 5% Tserathians, and 4% other races. It will be primarily run by Crowkahn but all races will have some amount of presence in the city.

[Daemonwelsh]

Just a quick note, It seems like the Guilded ants would have autophobia as a racial flaw...
((deleted due to information being unusable for game))

[Crovius]

A few things you are going to need to fix your munchkin.

1) I'm not allowing flaws for this test run of the races.

2) Guilded ants have 2 levels of Monstrous humanoid, AND they have a +1 level adjustment, so you'd have at most 3 levels of Monk.

3) I already stated you can either point buy your stats with a 32 point cap or use my base score set of 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15. And Point buy considers that all the stats will start at 8. So change those.

4) You did not roll 8 every time for your HP, I'm sorry I simply cannot believe that.

5) I don't see your equipment anywhere. You should have 1 +1 magic item, 1 Masterwork item. And I'm saying no to a cursed item for 3 reasons: I consider it armor; it is not a utlity item; it's suicide because you WILL be fighitng things that have CR higher than you now and then.

Stop trying to min/max your characters and make them all munchkinny, especially if you're gonna do it wrong. This game is going to be primarily about testing out how the abilities of each race compare, seeing if I need to make level adjustments higher or lower, etc.

[Daemonwelsh]

For the 8, I assumed that we were going to play as maximum health due to that being the case in most/all other games I have played. I did not know that was not the case.

The level adjustment was +1 from your post, not +2, apologies again, I will go back and change that too.

Will do for adjusting scores. I didn't see the stuff about point buy...

Will remove flaws

And I know about the CR. I took that into account when I was purchasing the thing. If you do not want me to have it, then I will change that too.

I apologize for seeming to try and munchkin my character, as that was not my intention. I will redo my character when I have the time to do so...

Again, I apologize.

Thank you, also, the level adjustment is +1. But you have 2 levels of Monstrous Humanoid as well so remember to account for both level.

[Daemonwelsh]

This is a level 2, without any monstrous levels. In effect he will be level 5 once I calculate that.
Now on to my magic items...

Monstrous levels are counted first. Basically you can take the monster manual entry, with you chosing where it's skill points went, what it's feat would be, and you adjust the ability scores to the array I'm allowing you. Then you give him 2 levels of paladin. That is the correct way to do it, it's the way you are supposed to do it, so yeah. Monstrous levels first, then paladin levels.
