Counting 5 players so far (plus Meimu/Rei'sen who had indicated on Discord that she might be interested).
Counting votes so far, we have 2 for CDTCT, 0 for vanilla WBL, leaving yet 3-4 votes open.
Re: Bonus Feat for random Ability Scores:Yes, it is meant as a small incentive to give randomness a chance and think outside of the box, but without forcing randomness or condemning anyone to play with terrible stats.
Does it unbalance the game? Yes, a wee bit. But randomness is to me much more amusing then flaws that are avoided as hard as possible, so I am abusing my tyrannical DM powers here by rewarding it.
Oh, so like a Swordsage//Ninja (either of them) is viable?
Yes, that combo would work!
Wouldn't mind trying out another "less items" ruleset although would prefer to use the Savage trait if a monster PC is allowed.
I'd prefer to keep it at one solution for WBL for the sake of consistency. Savage is sadly out with that, unless standard WBL wins out.
Also assuming we don't need to actually buy the product and the DM will kindly provide setting details as needed.
Correct, I will. That above is just the basic cliff notes, I will expand on the fluff in the game sub-forum once it is set up.
Bonus feat for rolling a dark secret of some sort seems fair (I assume it's more plot or roleplaying-related than statistical).
That is correct. Dark Secrets are soft flaws without direct mechanical impact, generally boiling down to an excuse for the DM to invoke Chandler's Law and have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand.
