I am tired of people playing exclusively in Middle Ages and Oriental Adventures so I came up with a setting based upon the middle east. I will be starting you all out at fourth level summoned to the city of Kirtash by its lord and master. Please run any ideas by me and I do have a few playable races worked up for use in this game.
Finer points:
40 point build (ala dmg rules)
4th lvl gold (5,400 gp)
Egyptian/Middle Eastern stylization on the characters please.

Alright to get the idea of the game out I am posting a short synopsis.
The basic concept is that the Shah of Kirtash has summoned you all, a seasoned adventuring party to go and handle a small problem of Setteshite infestation in the southern regions of his province of the kingdom. So the Lord will reward you with titles of Shepi in his realm if the task is completed before the next Setteshite raid. If not it might mean problems for the survival of several of the towns of the lower regions of his part of the kingdom.
Also politics in this setting, are pretty interesting. There are seven major kingdoms on the continent each with seven provinces. Each province is split into seven regions. Each kingdom is ruled by a Grand Shah, each province by a Shah and each region is ruled by a Shem. Shepi are the council members to the Shems and higher, providing advice and enforcing his laws as well as whatever he tells you to do.

Wow. A setting in which I want to play a cleric for a change. Mostly because I really like the flavour of the egyptian pantheon. Specifically, a priest (or priestess, in earlier times there were both, the Hellensitic version had only women) of Isis, easily my favourite egyptian deity. I'll knock up a character sheet some time tomorrow.
I was tempted to suggest a dwarf cleric of Bes. Because Bes is hilarious. But on reflection, I think I'll do the above.Jason_Firewalker wrote:No Dwarves

Edits to Classes(Excerpted from Sandstorm and edited for my ease of typing):
DRUID:
Sandskimmer: At second level the wastes druid gains sandskimmer as a bons feat replacing woodland stride.
Heat Endurance: At 4th level the wastes druid gains heat endurance (or improved heat endurnace if he/she already has heat endurance) This replaces resist natures lure.
Wild Shape Wastes Vermin. With normal size restrictions the Wastes Druid gains the ability to wildshape into Wastes vermin, replacing the 10th level ability of 1 more wildshape. From now on the druid has 1 less wildshape per day then normal.
PALADIN:
Replaces the Horse mount gained with a War Camel

As Isis is also a goddess of magic, and I wanted a familiar, she ended up as a multiclass cleric/wizard.

A few things there need GM approval. There's bit from a third party book (explained in the notes) that's got a hefty price on it. There's also a bit about a magic item I may or may not drop (the magic items will get a second pass through, where I'll pick out potions {libations?} and possibly something defensive) which isn't terribly thematic as written - egyptian priests don't raid corpses! (though now that I think about it, there was the tradition of cutting off dead enemies' hands to count the slain after battles...)
At present, I intend her to be a support/buffing caster. With some diplomacy/face elements. I'm also going for Mystic Theurge later, because I've always wanted to do one of those.

Linguistics Notes:
There are 4 main languages in the area as "Common" languages and depends where you are from. The languages are similar and the basic jist of the speech can be sent across except with Babbish. The languages are as follows: Agypo (northern), Norheli (Southern), Babbish (A religious language), and Yothu (Provincial).
There are also racial languages for each of the main races besides humans.
