That's right random anon who happens to read this post, it's /vx/'s third DnD campaign!
>What's this one about?
Chaos Ascending is an epic level campaign for DnD 3.5e. It takes place roughly 10,000 years before Celestia and Luna assume rule over Equestria. Technology is at a medieval level plus magic of course.
Equus during this era was a land of peace, the ponies and few other creatures inhabiting Equus living in harmony. The gods of this realm, know to the ponies only as The Unknown Ones, decided that nothing would disturb their harmony and moved on; only granting their power to the most dedicated of ponies. Soon, the ponies' society expanded across the planes. A Utopia was built on its own plane, serving as a hub of travel, politics, and trade. Ponies lived in happiness, nothing to disturb them. It was a land of peace and harmony, but rumors existed. Rumors that there were ponies who thought that harmony was worthless. Ponies who wished to disturb the order of the planes. Ponies who wished to ascend the agenda of...
Chaos...
>How long will it last?
Until I can progress through the entire story, which should take at the most three months of weekend play and about two months at the least, or until Atlas personally smites me. Whichever comes first.
>When does it start?
This is an advance notice so players have time to build characters, ask questions, and seek GM approval. The campaign will start in 2-3 weeks.
>When will we play?
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And then only if all players are available.
Here are the guidelines for building a character:
Level: 25
Sources for classes, feats, spells, etc.: Any as long as they are approved. No breaking my game
Wealth: 35,000,000 GP
Stats: Point buy with 34 points at your disposal. Buy your stats then apply racial stats. Here's the calculator I use: http://www.propelled.de/extern/chargen
Races:
Evil characters are not explicitly banned, but chaotic and neutral evil are HEAVILY discouraged against.
Earth Ponies:
+2 Str +2 Con
One maxed out skill related to cutie mark.
Earth Ponies receive Toughness as a bonus feat.
Earth Ponies can hold a two-handed weapon with their maw. Light weapons can be held with hooves.
Pegasi:
+2 Dex -2 Con
One maxed out skill related to cutie mark
Glide: A pegasus of any level can glide when falling at a speed of 40ft, negating all fall damage. This ability takes affect even when unconscious, though the user takes 1d6 falling damage.
Flight: A pegasus can use their wings for flight with a speed of 40ft (good maneuverability) beginning at lvl 5.
Pegasi can use two-handed weapons by holding it with their maw and using a wing to help maneuver the weapon, sacrificing flight. Light weapons can also be held with a wing, sacrificing flight.
Unicorns:
+2 Int -2 Str
One maxed out skill related to cutie mark
Unicorns receive Eschew Materials as a bonus feat.
Unicorns have two "handslots" using the magic of their horn, these extend to 10ft of reach. Two-handed weapons can be used with a unicorn's maw and a handslot or both handslots, either way rendering them unable to focus their magic on other tasks. Light weapons can be held in each handslot.
Crystal Ponies:
+2 Con -2 Dex
One maxed out skill related to cutie mark
Crystal Composition: Crystal ponies can turn their bodies crystalline, invoking different sets of bonuses and penalties. In this form they receive a +3 bonus to AC, and +3 to fortitude saves. As a tradeoff they take a -2 penalty to the following checks: Reflex, Swim, Tumble, Hide, Move Silently. This ability can only be activated 1/day.
Crystal Ponies use two-handed weapons by employing their maw and one hoof to control the weapon. This reduces their speed by 5ft.
Kirin:
+1 Wis +1 Cha
Nirik: A kirin's temper can ignite, making them rash and fierce. 1/day a Kirin can fly into a fury of emotion, turning into a Nirik for 1 round per level. This form grants the Kirin a +4 bonus to attacks, +1d4 fire damage to melee attacks, but invokes a -3 penalty to any wisdom related check or save.
Kirins have two "handslots" using the magic of their horn, these extend to 10ft of reach. Two-handed weapons can be used with a kirin's maw and a handslot or both handslots, either way rendering them unable to focus their magic on other tasks. Light weapons can be held in each handslot.
Bat Ponies:
+2 Wis -2 Cha
One maxed out skill related to cutie mark
Glide: A bat pony of any level can glide when falling at a speed of 40ft, negating all fall damage. This ability takes affect even when unconscious, though the user takes 1d6 falling damage.
Flight: A bat pony can use their wings for flight with a speed of 40ft (average maneuverability) beginning at lvl 5.
Dark vision to 60ft
+2 racial bonus to listen
Bat Ponies can use two-handed weapons by holding it with their maw and using a wing to help maneuver the weapon, sacrificing flight. Light weapons can also be held with a wing, sacrificing flight.
For those looking at the divine classes here's the pantheon:
The Unknown One Above All Earth Ponies
The Unknown One Above All Pegasi
The Unknown One Above All Unicorns
The Unknown One Above All Crystal Ponies
The Unknown One Above All Kirin
The Unknown One Above All Bat Ponies
The Unknown One Above All Dragons
The Unknown One Above All Evil
After the gods of old moved on, their names fell out of common use and slipped from memory. Now known only as The Unknown Ones, their clerics and paladins are often of the same race. Though there are always exceptions to the rules. Domains are not set, except the domains of Death and Evil, which are restricted to The Unknown One Above All Evil.

Yeah. I'm regretting so many points on Charisma.
I guess I could use Shapechange and time duplicate to increase my Constition a little bit via Sarrukh, since I'm a dragonborn and thereby count as a scaled one; but idk if I want to go down that spooky path...

Okay, forget the Elephant. I'm getting a Dire Tortoise instead.
And I'm totally not just saying that because a tortoise counts as a Scaled One.

You could give him a Ring Of Evasion and a wand of Haste (or even potions for that matter). He can use wands because of his innate Sorcerous power. A staff with Ruin Delver's Fortune could also prove useful. Consumables are your friend.
Custom items are seldom allowed (the custom items rules are for GMs), and making an item in an unusual body slot triples it's cost iirc.

About the Diamond Warrior:
The skills requirements I can easily circumvent, but the feats really put the pressure on me. I only have one of the four necessary to invest in this class, and the feats I've got seem to be required at all times in order to fulfill the duty of tripmancer.

>requires bad feats
Probably not worth it then. Feat taxes are the original sin of third edition Prestige classes. They disproportionately target Martial characters and make it do that 60% of classes are never played.
You'd be better off dipping into Swordsage. The Setting Sun school is what you want for extreme tripping, and the stone dragon school can let you take advantage of size. Not that your initiator level is half your character level plus your class level, so your thrall would qualify for high level maneuvers and Stances.

Ooh! I like this line!
Most of these are throws from trips, which will both look and are cool.
I was thinking to use the last 4 remaining levels to be swordsage Setting Sun levels, keeping the build. No idea how the progression goes, tho, but I'll be sure to take any of the throws.

Swordsage is a good class. All the martial Adepts are good classes.
They're tier 3: not stupidly overpowered like tiers 1 and 2, but plenty versitile and fun.

Last Minute change to my Druid's Sheet. I swapped out Assume Supernatural Ability for Bonus Domain (Hero). Turns out ASA was an old 3.0 feat that I actually have no use for (since I already get supernatural abilities of my Wildshapes).

Perhaps with Topaz's help, you could read a Manual of Bodily Health then give the item to her afterwards to avoid braking your oath.
Otherwise, you better edit it now.

Nah, """borrowing""" magic items is simply cheating; it doesn't matter how i get them, because it's just as greedy. I would have had to apply +4 to each stat over the course of 36 days of meditation and prayer in some cave. Thing is that's a lot of work, and idk if I should be doing it now, lest it give the GM a headache...

Shouldn't he be at least lvl 23? Your second thrall should be only 2 levels behind you.

Dragons gain 8 + Int skill points per hit dice. They basically have rogue skills,which is one of the many reasons why dragons are the most powerful creatures native to the prime material plane.
Psychic Warriors have 2 + Int skill points per level. Swordsages have 6 + int.

I don't see any spell known on your Dragon. A young adult Topaz Dragon should be capable of casting spells as a 5th level Sorcerer, possibly higher if you apply Eberron Sovereign Archtypes.

It counts as a 5th level sorcerer for all intents and purposes; it cold even go higher with Sovereign Archytypes. A 5th level Sorcerer knows one 2nd level spell. Since your Dragon's CL is 5, i can provide cover for one ally.
For Sorcerers, Wings of cover is standard issue. It's one of the spells that gives Sorcerers an edge over other casters; ad only gets more useful as levels progress; as your life-saving ultimate defense; yo could even get a wand or staff of it. Immediate actions are the best kind of actions, and you want to get them as often as possible.

The 'only 1 2nd level sorcerer spell' seems to be at level 4 sorcerer, but maybe dragons have limitations?
I'll be sure to take the spell, tho.
I have found some other spells from the book you recommended sad most of them are level 3, 5 or higher.
Path of Frost.

The only "limitation" is that you're only a young adult. The age-progression chart say 5th caster level, so you have the spells known and spells per day as a 5th level sorcerer. True Dragons are innate Sorcerers, and in many settings the source of arcane magic. Many Sorcerers gain their powers from Draconic Ancestry, and the arcane knowledge of dragons is the reason why Wizards get Draconic as a bonus language: Draconic is a lingua-franka for magic users, and all those who study ancient draconic artifacts to gain the powers of the dragons of old.
As for 1st level spells, Shield, Grease, True Strike (for power attacking), and Expeditious Retreat are good. Best off just taking buff and utility spells that'll be good for combat.

I gotta say wings of cover is better; since that'll be useful any time your dragon is targeted by an attack, which you can expect to happen multiple times during every battle.
A Wizard picks spells with the mindset of "this will be useful someday"; a Sorcerer picks spells with the mindset of "this will be useful everyday.
If you only want one casting of it for yourself, you could just buy a scroll (your dragon is completely capable of using scrolls) which would cost just 150 gp; if you want it for 50 individuals, you could buy a wand of it that costs 4500 gp. For one-off spells, consumables are your best friend.
Now, if you want to have had your dragon place an arcane mark on every single believer in your herd and upgraded it to a dragonseye rune to remind them all that they're your property, you'd want to learn the spell in that case. However, I don't know how useful that'd be, because Idk if dragonseye rune gives you early access to the scry on familiar ability that Sorcerers gain at lvl 13, or if dragons with more than 13 hit dice have it.. at least not off of the top of my head. Being able to discern the duration of the target could prove helpful though.
You could also get a power crystal of telepathic bond and/or cast it yourself and then apply permanency to it so that you and your thrall can communicate telepathically at an unlimited distance.

>you and your thrall can communicate telepathically.
I think Telepathic Communication goes both ways, right?
In any case, it's not that I'm exchanging one for the other, more like I need another 2nd level spell to fit in the slot.
Maybe I could go for baleful teleport or transposition? That sounds like it would have utility.

Anything non-offensive works, preferably some kind of utility or buff. Since a dragon's sorcerer level is so low; it's offensive spells are hardly ever effective against creatures it fights, especially not at epic level.
I'm kind of busy, but i recall Magic Of The Dragonheart to be useful for draconic sorcerers. That only works if you load up on draconic feats though.

Mithril Breastplate barding would cost quite a bit, but could be enhanced quite a bit.
You could probably wait on it and let the Artificer Wall Of Iron + Fabricate a suit of armor. Not like dragons are needing any extra AC. Only low-level characters really care about AC that much.

I thought the same to the point of enhancing the natural armor even further since it was high.
Perhaps some sort of item to increase Touch AC? I would honestly pay anything for it.

I don't think tearing is going to be that big of a deal realistically. The GM is unlikely to just target your equipment, unless it's with a targeted Dispel Magic or Disjunction spell. A bag of holding is a bag; there might be other versions of storing, but idk what they are by heart.
Portable holes are useful too; just don't accidentally put your bag of holding inside one.

Magical black hole
I understand. I've added a Ring of Epic Protection +10 and 3 bags of holding cuz Phospy is a greedy boi, and put them in a backpack cuz why not.
Is that appropriate for a 24 ECL character?

I really can't tell you. I've purposely held off of looking at anything that had anything to do with items for months now because I wanted to avoid being tempted to throw out my Vow Of Poverty gig in favor of high-optimization.
A quick search on Black Marshes puts a lvl 24 ECL character's WBL at 23,400,000; but it also puts lvl 25 WBL at 45,800,000 gp, and it seems as though the party got less than that. It's a question for the GM.
You could probably just put the remaining difference in gold and let your dragon sleep on it; maybe have the artificer convert it into goodies later. Even though he's your thrall, he's still a chaotic neutral teenage dragon with hoarding instincts.

My Celestial Axiomatic Dire Tortoise companion, Master Yertle, as he is so far.
Not sure if I'm satisfied with his skills and feats. Might swap out Blinding Speed for Blowhard.

For both our sakes, I hope you're right.
My mechanical aspects of my characters are indeed ready, so it's now about waiting to the 7:30 PM EST time to arrive.
If you don't know, that's when it's going to start today.

Hm...
I think we're not going to play today, since GM isn't here yet.

Is it not time?
Gimme a minute, I've been tied up. I'll post the cytube in a minute, and then the opening scene.
Chapter 1: From Chaos into Order
This chapter begins in a different way from all others, for this time the party is split up and unknowing of each other. Each member is minding their own business, with their own reasons to be traveling to Equus' hub of trade, travel, and order: Hevokayva. Hevokayva can only be described as an urban environment, a land of sprawling skyscrapers and pathways situated on its own private demiplane. Ponies travel from all over to visit the many shops, offices, taverns, and other attractions that Hevokayva has to offer. Though most ponies come for the hub of planar portals situated in the utopia. If a pony can name a plane, there exists a portal to it.
But among gathering places there are whispers. Whispers about a cult trying to end the peaceful order of Equus. Some ponies regard these rumors as true, others consider them to be nothing more than tales to scare fillies and colts. Some say it is a revolution, some say a religious group, and other still a vengeful spirit. Only one detail remains consistent throughout all rumors, they will meet in the Plane of Chaos, but nopony dares to believe that anypony would try to shatter the order they hold so dear….
All characters should be in Hevokayva to start. Whether they are they for trade, travel, or just to hangout matters not. Remember that investigating rumors is indeed a reason Characters may also start together if they wish, but I will not make any requirement for this.

Many a pony stroll past, unnoticing of the vase's shift. Some clamoring about "those horseshit rumors meant to scare us into submission"

A Unicorn pony is gleefully ontop of a large, yellow dragon, watching the hub with childish excitement as a serious Earth Pony accompanies both of them, walking with a stoic expression. The dragon, however, is a lot more expressive, presenting a deep frown at any passerby that goes too close, baring its teeth.
Even with the dragon's abrasive nature, the three are loosely encircled by 8 unicorns, with three at the front, three at the back and one for each side. All of them have varying expressions, but they do chat between eachother from time to time as they walk without fear.
"I can't believe we're here, Phospy!"

Ponies cast glances at the group, mumbling among themselves. Some more aggressive ponies look ready to say something, but decide against it when they see the dragon.

Muh fucking sides.
Ash is greeted by some screaming ponies, and a fainting pegasus. Nothing else looks too strange, except for the unicorn riding a dragon down the road.

The mysterious teleporting creature is dressed in a humble white religious habit, and doesn't appear to be carrying anything other than a small purse.
What surrounding creatures might immediately notice though is that she's standing atop a rather large (16 ton) golden tortoise that simultaneously appeared out of the blue beneath her, which appears to be the cause of the tremors earlier.
The tortoise gives a low but powerful growl and looks up at her, seemingly in response to her booming declaration.
"Now, now. There's no need to be lucrative. The creatures of this world are wonderful." the nun chides

A White pony Drunkenly stumbles out of a nearby tavern, the tavern has 2 constructs in front of it. one made of iron and the other stone.
She stumbles up to the nun giggling
"Who Are you? i haven't seen you before? why are you shouting."

She pats the dragon on the side of its neck, letting her get down.
At closer inspection, she is a below-average height pony, with defintie marinine features wearing some rather goofy accessories, like a little green headband on her forehead, an ornate ring on her horn and a little torc on her neck. Her coat is covered by a white cloak and bracers on her forelegs with a crude drawing of a big, toned foreleg at the front. She passes her saddlebags to the dragon, containing who knows what with her horn as it puts it away on his own, larger backpack.
"Ah~ Now that feels much better. My back was aching. Thank you, Phospy."
She does a quick little kiss on its cheek, making the dragon exhale strongly.
(I wonder what amazing new friends will pop up now!)
He lightly trots in place looking down with her eyes closed and a huge smile on her face, clearly excited. Of course, she takes the time to actually see what's around her after that.

The t-posing nun slowly hobbles towards the tortoise's neck.
>tfw low ride ranks
The tortoise, displaying remarkable intelligence and dexterity, reaches its neck over to the clumsy nun and, not unlike a crane, lowers her to the ground.
"It really has changed in the past four hundred years, wouldn't you say so, Mr. Yertle?" the kirin comments wistfully "I don't recall there being nearly this many portals" she continues, a grim nostalgia spreading over her face
The tortoise makes a gesture that can only be a nod, eliciting yet another slight shock-wave through the ground beneath its feet.

She can see a kirin t-posing atop a giant tortoise, and walking off. Next to them is a unicorn talking to a vase.
