Trogdor, I'd like to get you into Team #1, and that will round it out. I know you mentioned not being excited about this, but I really think you'll have fun with this, and since its a major event, you don't want to miss out playing.

Here are a couple odds and ends that are Xcrawl special...

We are using Action Points (as per the Eberron Rules)

Mojo Points: The team as a whole has a pool of Mojo Points. You gain Mojo from things like clearing a room, pulling off a signature move, or scoring a critical hit. You loose them for infighting in the group, fumbling and generally sucking hard. Mojo can not be spent for your own actions, you can however (before dice are rolled) give your team mate mojo points. Every mojo point given equates to a +1 on the die roll. There some rules for if mojo is spent and the result is a crit or fumble as well.

Perform (XCrawl): A new Cha based perform skill is used to Mug for the Camera or Grandstand. Either of these can be done, basedon the situation, to try and join fame points and to generally show off how awesomely cool you are. Five in a row nets you more fame (some audiances and DCs are harder than others)

Fame Points: Every crawler has some fame, this is based on Cha, Level, Perform Checks, feats. THe better your fame the more money you earn, the better your perform checks, the more mojo, etc.

Knowledge (XCrawl): A new Int based skill that lets you know about the DJs, tactics, rules, and anything else Xcrawl related.

JP can you think of anything else that is a base rule addition?

There are a few changes to the Xcrawl game.

Because of babysitting issues Idderball won't be playing, that opens up a spot on Team Local for a new player. Anyone interested? Wayloss?

Also because of previous engagements and a bad memory about it JP won't be around Saturday after Dinner. That means the Xcrawl will have to finish up Sunday morning and won't be run Saturday night.

In its place will be general games, but I'm also going to run a L5R CCG Primer and RPG Intro if there is interest. Anyone that thinks they want to join the L5R CCG you should know I'll have free decks and cards and enough stuff for you to get started playing the game that night, and the decks are you're to keep when we are done.

Starting cash: 88,000 Gold Pieces!

You may use feats, spells, skills, items, etc from any core 3.5 book, as well as the Xcrawl books as well. You may also includes mundane gear and feats from the Eberron book as well (Alchemist Frost, etc) but not magical items or Dragonmarked any thing.

[Vardaen]

On a side note the crawl itself has been started, and is well underway. I would suggest you guys use the team threads to make sure you are well rounded, as the crawl will attempt to challange all facets of Dungeon Crawling.

[jigglypuff69]

After talking with Vardaen, we've revamped the number a little. Here you go:

60 On the ammo. (Total number of rounds, arrows, stones, etc...)
5 Alchemical items
16 Levels in scrolls

We really only are doing like 6 rooms, so that should be enough.
Any questions, ask away!

Get your characters in gear, you have only 2 weeks to have them done and approved!
