Character creation for my Terminus campaign

[Ravenheart87]

I'm done with the races and occupation charts for my homebrew Terminus campaign. One of my friends took the opportunity to roll up his zero level characters. Race and class are seperate in my campaign and my friend was always the dwarf-maniac, but now he went hardcore and rolled even the race of his characters. He ended with the following zeroes (no names yet):

Halfling tobacco-farmer, N, Str12, Agi 10, Stm 14, Per 14, Int 12, Lck 10, AC 10, hp 5, hoe, 1lb tobacco, candle, 29 cp
Drow courtesan, C, Str 10, Agi 14, Stm 11, Per 12, Int 11, Lck 10, AC 11, hp 1, dagger, silk clothes, holy water, 22 cp
Android teacher, L, Str 6, Agi 9, Stm 14, Per 12, Int 4, Lck 11, AC 10, hp 2, club, permanent marker, 34 cp
Human baker, N, Str 13, Agi 14, Stm 9, Per 10, Int 8, Lck 15, AC 11, hp 2, club, 1lb flour, 10' chain, 32 cp

Note that the android teacher is illiterate and all of them are male. Can't wait to see the others.

You create special rules for Drow and Android races ?

You create special rules for Drow and Android races ?

Well, I based my elf race on the elf class of the core book, and the drow race on my elf race. They are only slightly different when it comes to abilities (longer infravision, but penalty in bright light), but have a very different occupation chart.

Androids are based on the android creature from the core book. They have the regeneration, mental immunity and infravision, but once they are reduced to zero hit points, even if you they survive, they are incapacitated until someone repairs them. Plus they have to recharge their cells monthly to function.

Can you tell more on your Terminus campaign setting ?

Can you tell more on your Terminus campaign setting ?

I'm going to in a few weeks, when we are done with the first few sessions. It's a sandbox campaign set in my homebrew world. Terminus is an artificial continent built by a highly advanced ancient race. It was used to colonize a planet on the fringe of the Interstellar Republic and was populated by various creatures from all around the galaxy. After a civil war and an alien invasion most of the world fall back to stone age. It took many millenia until new civilizations appeared. The campaign begins centuries after the fall of the great Thulean Empire, in the kingdom of Andhoral, which was one a border province of the empire. Andhoral draws people from all around the world because of the resources and treasures it's wilderness holds. Our protagonists will meet in Talon, a city built on ancient ruins and housing the last thulean tyrant and the last know working planetary gate.

Interesting & original. You will create home rule for "modern" arms ?

Interesting & original. You will create home rule for "modern" arms ?

Thanks, but it's far from original. I used a lot of sources for inspiration, including Might & Magic series, Wizardry series, Arduin, Wilderlands, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Marvel comics and who knows what else. It's going to be a gonzo kitchen sink.

As for modern arms... The lore of their creation is mostly lost, but there are still working pieces of such equipment. They are not common but it's not impossible at all for players to find one when crawling in forgotten bases or fighting with Talon's elite guards.
