Player Classes For Lodoss Wars

 

Here you will find everything you need to know to create a player character in a Lodoss Wars setting. Whether you're looking for a valiant free knight to follow in the footsteps of the Hero Parn (above), an evil wizard intent on destroying the world, or anything in between, you will find it here.

Player races for Lodoss are as follows: human, elf, half-elf, dark elf (i.e. drow), dwarf, and grass runner (halfling). In actuality, a grass runner is more like a Kender from Dragonlance, but we won't confuse the conversion more by adding THAT bundle of mess into the campaign!

Sorcerers and Mages in Lodoss

Generally, use the same rules for sorcerers and mages as you would for standard 3rd edition. However, the following changes apply:

1. Sorcerers and Mages do not use material components for spells. However, they do require a focus to cast. This focus can be either a wand, staff, crystal ball, etc. Without this item, the caster cannot cast spells (with the exception of cantrips and 1st level spells). Spells are casted through the focus. The sorcerer or mage must create his or her own focus, using either the craft wonderous item, craft wand, craft rod, or craft staff feat. To cast spells above 4rth level, the caster must use a rod. To cast spells above 6th, the caster must possess a staff. Will this forces the caster to take certain feats, it eliminates the need for spell components.

2. ALL SPELLS require a verbal component. Forget the feat SILENT SPELL even exists. Nowhere in Lodoss do we ever see anyone cast without an incantation.

3. Evil spellcasters must make concentration checks to cast spells due to the intense paid experienced. Evil spellcasters are cursed to endure great pain for making alliances with the dark forces. The DC is calculated as follows: 10+spell level for spells that only effect the caster or protect the caster and his allies. 10+spell level+base save modifier of target for spells designed to harm a specific target. 15+spell level+1 for each person in an area of effect spell that does harm.

  1. A Shaman can never be of evil alignment.
  2. Shaman's do not possess the Wild Shape ability, nor do they ever develop the abilities of A Thousand Faces or Timeless Body.
  3. Shaman may use swords as well as the standard Druid Weapons.
