Nanoha:Incgame

So far, no one's found a place where it's stranger than Unadministered World 42 - a planet that seems to run on different rules than anything ever seen and recorded by the Time-Space Administration Bureau or Saint Church.

Your team of four is now pretty sure that crash-landing on the continent of Fae'Run, on the planet Toril (at least, that's what the natives call it) is the very definition of a "Bad Day". The ship would probably be totaled under ''normal'' circumstances, let alone landing on a world where the parts that could be used to fix it, or another ship to get off the planet, won't be discovered for tens of thousands of years, where a vast number of coterminous dimensions exist immediately adjacent to it, and there are beings that make the near-mythical civilization of Al-Hazard seem weak by comparison, who are worshipped as gods - and as far as this world is concerned, they're probably right.

At least you're not completely powerless, and you landed near a friendly enough town without killing anyone. In the week since you crashed right next to the walls of Candlekeep, they've helped you recover from your injuries and learn the basics of this world, not charging you their usual "fee" of the contribution of a great tome of knowledge... Yet. (One of you mentioned the [[http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Infinity_Library Infinity Library]] on accident, though. ''Oops.'') You've picked up the basics of one or another local adventuring class to make sure you can survive until you fix your equipment.

Of course, things are never that easy, ever. But then again, you were a team chosen by Nanoha Takamachi herself.

It's 0076 by the New Midchildan calendar, and 1372 by the local "Dale Reckoning" calendar.

TBD but probably Friday late evening (Pacific) and Early Morning (Eastern).

* Variant Rules: No gestalt, no LA Buyoff (but see Readjustment Points), No flaws (but see Barely Feats below), Traits allowed, Rule Of Funny allowed, ''Spell Points Enabled''.

* [[http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Combat_Cyborg Combat Cyborgs]] are illegal across the TSAB and have been for a long, long time; however, both Jail Scageletti and an unknown predecessor completed who knows how many prototypes before [[http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Type_Zero The Type Zeroes]] and [[http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Numbers The Numbers]] were completed; worse, when Jail realized he was licked, he sent complete copies of his research to untold numbers of individuals across the cosmos; your character could be the result of any of a number of scientists who have performed this illegal research. The TSAB's rules mandate that any ''completed'' Combat Cyborg can choose to integrate into society, so... Of course, the Nanohaverse being what it is, just about all Combat Cyborgs are female. Being a Combat Cyborg could justify a Warforged, or any number of other specialized races.

* Familiars, in Nanoha's context, would be akin to Tibbits (but with a Medium human form unless they're kids) or Lycanthropes. They are also, per the name, someone's familiar, most likely that of one of your shipmates; you'll need to work with someone and the DM, but you will be granted certain abilities of a Familiar or Psicrystal based on their level.

* "Clerics" from TSAB-originated worlds (i.e. the PCs) can only draw power from the [[http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Saint_Church Saint Kings]]; they are effectively 'concept clerics' in a world where concept clerics normally do not exist. Leveling in this class represents your figuring out how to channel your faith to cast Torilian Divine magic.

* Druids cannot come from TSAB-originated worlds; the nature of Mid-Childan magic doesn't allow for connecting to druidic spirits.

* Fighter is banned; Any martial-primary class (including but not limited to the Tome of Battle classes, Barbarian, Monk, Paladin, and Rogue) gains bonus feats at every 2nd level and counts as if they were a Fighter of their class level for access to Fighter-specific feats.

** Lurk is banned, not that you'd likely want it given the last sentence....

** Sorry, but Magical Girl is banned.

Every one of the party's Devices serves as a Storage Device automatically. This portable, easy-to-carry item lets you store a number of Spell Points or Power Points equal to the number you would have (before ability score modifiers) if you were a Wizard of your character level, and may be used using the same rules as a Cognizance Crystal ''as long as you have not used any of your own power points for that day yet''. (Considering using your own power points tires you, you'd be well served to use your Storage Device's stack most of the way before delving into your personal stock.)  

* At 1st level, your Device can link to any ordinary backpack's pain pocket, and two pockets on your clothes or Barrier Jacket, replicating the functionality of the main and side pockets of a Handy Haversack. You define which pockets count when you put the items on.

* At 4th level, your Device adds a raw storage space, linked to the device itself; this space is functionally identical to a Type I Bag of Holding. At 7th, 10th, and 13th levels, it upgrades the space to the next better type of Bag of Holding; it adds another 500 pounds of capacity at 16th and 20th levels.

* No flat adaptations from other sources. In other words, even if you can represent it entirely in 3.5 mechanical terms, no you can't have a Green Lantern Ring.

* In order to gain a benefit that requires a cost, you must pay that cost; if you mitigate all of the cost away, you're not paying the cost and the benefit does not happen.
