Rating: 4 / 5
This is complete in many aspects, but information is sparse in a few categories. Please help improve this. What are the rating guidelines in more detail? Why is Oa (3.5e Campaign Setting) rated how it is? What is the correct campaign setting formatting? If you feel this campaign setting does not deserve the current rating, start a discussion and the rating will be discussed

(This is a work in progress. Please allow some time for completion.)

Oa[edit]

Oa (Ohw-uh)is a home brew campaign setting that is intended to be built-upon by Dungeon Masters to use as a blank slate. The amount of open land in this setting is present to accommodate this need. The playable races are kept to a bare minimum to allow for simplicity and to avoid over-crowding the campaign from the start with too many options. It is important to note that nationality plays a large role in Oa as different nations possess different policies in terms of health, culture, and justice. Oa is intended to simulate an entire world, with room to spare. If you feel like using this setting, feel free to do so, and please do not hesitate to add to it, so long as your alteration resides within the confines of your own campaign.

Project Goal[edit]

The primary goal of this project is to create a simple, easy-to-understand, and accessible Campaign Setting that is not only stable and in-depth, but has room for the Dungeon Master to add to it as he or she pleases without worrying about over-crowding the map.

World Map[edit]

Planetary Data[edit]

Equatorial Circumference: ~24,500 Miles (~39428.928 Kilometers)
Radius: ~3,899.3 Miles (~6275.3 Kilometers)
Acceleration due to Gravity: 32.1522 feet/(s^2) (9.8 m/(s^2)) NOTE: While the actual acceleration due to gravity
would be equal to 10.12 m/(s^2) for convenience sake it is advised to just use earth's gravitational acceleration
so as to maintain the consistency of the calculated battle tables.
Distance from Sun: 1 AU
Rotational period: ~24 hours
Revolutionary period: 365.25 days
Area of Tropical Region: ~85,750,000 square miles

Races[edit]

There are many races that live in Oa, the most populous of which being the Dark Elves, but unlike in other worlds, the races live in heterogeneously composed nations. Meaning no one nation is host to just one race of people for permanent residence.

Demography[edit]

Drow: 1,875,147,000
Dwarves: 650,565,300
Elves: 219,525,000
Gnomes: 140,525,000
Half-Elf: 46,035,000
Half-Orcs: 7,110,000
Halfling: 105,725,000
Human: 181,180,000

Playable Races[edit]

Other races can be played with DM consent but please note that their presence will be extraordinarily rare (as in .00000001% of the population) and will have to be incorporated into their character's story. It is inadvisable to play a character race that is not on this list and to not explain it whatsoever as it will most likely damage the campaign setting as a whole.

Predominant Races[edit]

These are races that are populous enough to be declared significant to Oa's balance of power. They are all added together into the group titled as "Other" excluding the playable races.

Oa Specific Creatures[edit]

The Fey[edit]

The Fey of Oa are governed by the three original fey races: Fairy, Nixie, and Pixie. In the beginning, the Goddess Ehlonna made the fairies to protect and preserve nature. But the fairies couldn't agree on how best to do so and over time they began to drift apart and compete with each other for Ehlonna's attention. When it became apparent that the pixies would never win over Ehlonna's favor with their mischievous and menacing ways, they began to pervert nature and create the dire beasts to harass the mortals and the other forest-dwelling creatures. The Nixies, too concerned with balance to interfere decided that it was the natural flow of equilibrium for this to happen and did nothing whereas the Fairies began to make alliances with the elves that have lasted for thousands of years since as the two races struggle to protect the forests and the rest of the world from the evil of the pixies.

However, all Fey enjoy a bit of mischief and physical comedy whether they'll admit it or not. It's just that the Pixies tend to take the jokes and mischief much, much farther than most other fey so much so that others might see their humor as morbid and deranged sometimes.

The complicating factor is, there is no visual way to tell the difference between Fairies, Nixies, or Pixies. They all have butterfly wings, look humanoid, and are roughly the same size. Pixies love to use this to their advantage and usually pose as Fairies or Nixies to gain the trust of an unwary victim.

Nixies are the self-appointed guardians of all things natural. They protect endangered species, ward off hunters from infant creatures, and do everything in their power to protect nature. But they are also obsessed with neutrality and carefully weigh their options before taking action.

Pixies are black-hearted Fey that are infamous for stealing children and mutating them into abominations of nature. Which is supposed to be their idea of a joke at Ehlonna's expense. They typically make animals into Dire animals and use them to harass others for a good laugh. Pixies are devious tricksters and love to fool mortals into miserable agreements.

Classes[edit]

Core D&D 3.5e classes only unless the DM says otherwise. Psionic classes and abilities are NOT PERMITTED by default unless the DM says otherwise. The classes are categorized based on their commonality.

Rare: ~1 per 500,000 people
These classes are rare and characters almost never encounter these kinds of people regardless of circumstances.

Uncommon: ~1 per 100,000 people
These classes are uncommon and characters usually don't encounter these kinds of people under common circumstances.

Common: ~1 per 50,000 people
These classes are common and characters frequently run into people with these qualifications.

Choosing a Class[edit]

To keep with the commonality of the classes, it is possible to select your class by rolling a percentile die (d100) and comparing the result to this table.

Table: Class Selection
Rare:	94-100
Uncommon:	63-93
Common:	0-62

Social Class[edit]

Your character has a family, they were born someplace. To reflect this, there are Socio-Economic tables that one may use to roll 1d100 for your character's social class. Social class determines things like bonus skill points, starting money, and so on.

Note: The table is read from left to right with the sub-category of class being the first adjective in the socio-economic class name. For instance, if you roll a 50 on a 1d100 roll for this table then the result would be "Upper-Lower Class". This is because the adjective in the result's corresponding row is "Upper" and the adjective in the result's corresponding column is "Lower".

Table: Social Class
	Lower: (60%)	Middle: (30%)	Upper: (10%)
Lower:	1-10	61-80	91-95
Middle:	11-40	81-85	96-98
Upper:	41-60	86-90	99-100

Social Class Rewards[edit]

Technology Level[edit]

Time Period:

Late medieval, early-renaissance
Comparable to 1300 AD -1400 AD

Health and Sanitation:

Diseases are called plagues and are dealt with on a varying basis from nation to nation.
Mental disorders are commonly mistaken for demon-possessions.
Vodis, Diatris, Ellante, Lavoya, and Kulnaku have building codes that include plumbing and bathrooms. The other four nations do not have this policy.

Warfare:

Medieval weaponry are predominantly used.
Handguns and rifles do not exist but may be invented by someone intelligent enough to figure it out.
Warships have large and bulky cannons.

Transportation:

Animal-drawn carts or carriages are mostly used.
All core D&D ship types are cannon in Oa. Though the design of the ships varies from nation to nation depending on how advanced they are.

Research:

Research and academic study varies from nation to nation.
The most famous nation for academia, whether it be in magic, technology, or otherwise, is Ellante.
Most other nations, besides Ellante, use a guild and skilled labor system with independent researchers.

Magic Level[edit]

~15% of the population of OA is capable of using arcane magic. Not to be confused with the commonality of classes.
~10% of the population of OA is capable of using divine magic. Not to be confused with the commonality of classes.
Magic is accepted and used on a varying basis from nation to nation. Some nations rely on magic more commonly than others. Some hardly use magic at all, if ever.

Magical Items[edit]

To make magic more special and exotic. It has been decided that along with magical classes, that magical items will also be made more rare than usual.

What this means is, if the DM is trying to determine if something is magical or not, then they must roll a percentile die. The probability of something, whatever it may be, possessing Magical properties, is 3%.

Potions, however, are more common. Liquids found in bottles have a 20% chance of being magical.

Detect Magic[edit]

Because magic is so uncommon in Oa, those who are attuned to it are extra sensitive to its presence. This means that the spell Detect Magic can be used as an at-will spell-like ability by Wizards, Sorcerers, Clerics, Paladins, Bards, and Druids. However it does not determine where the magic is, just whether or not something focused on by the user is magical or not. Presence is detected, not location or positioning.

Deities[edit]

Note: this section is bound to change dramatically in the near future!*

The Deities in this campaign setting are immortal, indestructible, and invulnerable. It is irrelevant if a deity has stats in a published book, by default the deities are invincible in this campaign setting. They do not ever appear on the mortal plain of existence and have never needed to before. None of them are cited in being responsible for creation of Oa, they are instead said to have made contact with the realm of Oa as outsiders hundreds of thousands of years ago. Outsiders are fabulously rare, perhaps considering Oa as a destination in once every ten thousand years, however there are still pocket settlements made 'closer' to Oa than to other places but even they are considered significantly remote relatively speaking. Oa is meant to be a standard campaign setting with as little confusing theology and lore as possible. Therefore the list of deities for this realm is static, they cannot die, and new deities do not enter the mix. If other settings are to be bridged to this setting, then Oa is seen as minor protectorate in terms of priorities for the deities regardless of alignment. In terms of spiritual resources and motivation, Oa is considered a far off dimension not worth taking the trouble to travel all the way to in order to warrant sustained attention. The deities may help out the most devout of their worshipers in Oa, but few else.

Table: Deities of Oa by alignment and by power level
	Lawful Good	Neutral Good	Chaotic Good	Lawful Neutral	True Neutral	Chaotic Neutral	Lawful Evil	Neutral Evil	Chaotic Evil
Major Deity	Moradin	Pelor	Corellon Larethian	Garl Glittergold	Boccob	Yondalla	Wee Jas	Nerull	Gruumsh
Minor Deity	Heironeous	Ehlonna	Kord	Saint Cuthbert	Obad-Hai	Olidammara	Hextor	N/A	Erythnul
Avatar	Heironeous	N/A	N/A	Saint Cuthbert	N/A	N/A	Hextor	Vecna	N/A

In general, divine power is not very present in Oa's history. What is much more present is fundamentalist interpretation of the use of divine power. Generally Clerics and Paladins who act in the spirit of their chosen deity (Diatris included) receive divine assistance. However, it is commonly rumored that high priests tend not to use their power only because they have broken alignment and no longer have it, but such talk is commonly cast down as mere rumors.

Travel and Scale[edit]

Oa is a very large world. This is by design as its amount of space is intended to provide a tabula rasa for DM's looking for a place to put their dungeon and campaign ideas. That being said, travel on Oa takes a while as the distances between most major cities is quite significant.

Table: Travel Speeds
Method:	Travel Distance (miles):	Travel Range (days)	Miles per day:	Encounter Chance:
Walking	1d300	15	20	10%
Light horse/mount	2d300	20	30	20%
Heavy horse/mount	3d300	18	50	30%
Carriage/Cart (roads only)	4d300	20	60	40%
Sailboat (small)	2d300	6	110	20%
Sailboat (large)	4d300	12	100	40%
Ship	8d300	20	120	80%

Range[edit]

The range of each means of transportation determines how many days can elapse before the rations for that method's number of d300 run out. It is possible to prepare extra rations in advance and it is also possible to go hunting or fishing to acquire more food.

Encounters[edit]

At the end of the distance determined by the travel method's range (i.e. 1d300 etc.), a mandatory random encounter occurs. It need not be combat, but it can be.

Encounters can occur within the rolled travel distance if the DM rolls 1d100 for every 300 miles that the party travels. If the DM rolls higher than the encounter chance, then nothing occurs. If the DM rolls lower than the encounter chance, then a random encounter happens. This is based on how high of a profile the travel method is in terms of how noticeable and bulky it may be.

The reason for encounter chances is to make the presence of monsters and special circumstances more special and to stick out more on the party's journey. If monsters are constantly attacking every single day for every ten miles that the party travels, then they will quickly lose their luster and it would beg the question: If monsters are such a frequent problem on the roads of this nation then how does the nation's economy function?

Alternative Travel Methods[edit]

For any other means of travel that is not on the table above. Have the DM assign however many d300 that they deem appropriate and research how fast the means of travel is in terms of miles per hour. That should help in assigning travel speeds.

Combat in Oa[edit]

The Dungeon Master can choose to use these sets of rules while using the Oa Campaign Setting. They are entirely optional.

Combat States[edit]

These are alternative definitions of some of the many states in combat.

Table: Combat States
State:	Definition:	Effect:
Flanking	Attacker is attacking its target from the target's side. 90 degrees from the target's facing position.	+2 To attack rolls.
Back-Attacking	Attacker is attacking its target from the target's rear position. 180 degrees from the target's facing position.	+4 to attack rolls.
Prone	Subject has most of its body on or very close to the ground.	-4 to AC against melee attacks +4 to AC against ranged attacks -4 to melee attacks +4 to ranged attacks -50% to movement speed +4 to Hide and Move Silently checks.
Crouching	Subject has lowered their torso closer to the ground and has both knees bent to do so.	-2 to AC against melee attacks +2 to AC against ranged attacks -2 to melee attacks +2 to ranged attacks -25% to movement speed +2 to Hide and Move Silently checks.

Sentry Mode[edit]

This is a homebrew combat state that refers to a character using a standard action to set themselves up in anticipation for an attack. Unlike Fighting Defensively , Sentry Mode refers to a more active means of a defense. Meaning that the character in sentry mode will instantly attack anything hostile that comes within a threatened square of theirs, counting that attack as an attack of opportunity. Moving after going into sentry mode deactivates it.

Table: Sentry Mode
Type:	At-will
Preparation:	Standard Action
Duration:	Until Deactivated
Effect:	Enemy movement, of any type, into or through a threatened square of the subject in sentry mode provokes an attack of opportunity.

Called Shots[edit]

A player and/or an NPC can make a specifically targeted attack against their enemy. The effect of successfully hitting them is concentrated damage on a specific area of the target. However this action of targeting a specific part of an enemy makes the user of the called shot suffer a penalty.

Mechanically what this means is that making a called shot applies a -4 penalty to the attack roll. If the attack roll hits the target AC, then the damage roll is an instant critical hit.

Targets and Effects[edit]

You can specify a target on an opponent that is not listed here. If so then it becomes the DM's decision as to the effects of landing a successful called shot to that particular target.

Table: Called Shot Targets
Body Part:	Result:
Head	1d10 bleeding damage per turn until healed. DC = 20
Neck	2d10 bleeding damage per turn until healed. DC = 30
Heart	4d12 bleeding damage per turn until healed. DC = 50
Spine	Everything below the targeted area is paralyzed.
Arm (Outer)	Crippled
Arm (Inner)	2d10 bleeding damage per turn until healed. DC = 30
Leg (Outer)	Crippled
Leg (Inner)	2d10 bleeding damage per turn until healed. DC = 30
Groin	Target is stunned and falls prone for 1d4 turns.

Feats and Penalties[edit]

Certain feats may instead apply to called shot penalties.

Table: Called Shot Penalties
Feat:	Effect:
None	-4 penalty for each attack roll that is a called shot. Critical weapon damage.
Precise Shot	-2 penalty for each attack roll made with a ranged weapon that the character is proficient with. Critical weapon damage.
Improved Precise Shot	No penalty to each attack roll made with a ranged weapon that the character is proficient with. Critical weapon damage.

Immunities[edit]

If the target is immune to critical hits then the called shot has no effect on the damage roll.

Healing[edit]

Healing works slightly differently in Oa. Anyone with at least 1 rank in the Heal skill is capable of making a heal check. The result of that check is as follows:

Table: Healing Checks
Heal Check:	Result:
1-20	Stabalized
22-30	Heal 1d6 HP per 2 points above 20
32-40	Heal 1d8 HP per 2 points above 30
42-50	Heal 1d10 HP per 2 points above 40
52-60	Heal 1d12 HP per 2 points above 50
60+	Heal 1d20 HP per 2 points above 60
Natrual 20	Heal subject back to full health as long as they are not dead.
Natrual 1	If the subject is dying then they instantly die but get only one fortitude saving throw of DC 20 to make a recovery. If the subject is not dying then they start dying at 0 HP.

Rounding Policy[edit]

If the resultant heal check is an odd number, then round up when determining the number of die to heal.

Time Taken[edit]

Doing a heal check takes at least 10 minutes per / 5 HP restored.

Counting Healed HP[edit]

Totaling up the amount of healed HP is a matter of determining the value of the heal check first, then adding together the total number of healing die by their respective brackets.

Example:

Step 1.) A 40 is rolled on a heal check. (1d20 + Heal + Wisdom Modifier + Misc Bonus)
Step 2.) For every 2 points above twenty but under thirty that the check resulted in. Heal 1d6. That means roll 5d6 for healing. (Roll 5d6)
Step 3.) For every 2 points above thirty but under forty that the check resulted in. Heal 1d8. That means roll 5d8 for healing. (Roll 5d8)
Step 4.) Add together the results of 5d6 and 5d8 to determine the total number of HP healed. (5d6+5d8)
Step 5.) Divide the total amount of HP healed by 5 to determine the time it took to execute the heal check. ([5d6+5d8]/5)

Nationalities[edit]

There are nine different nations in the world of Oa. Each possessing a heterogeneous population. Culture, Creed, and government vary widely between nations. Eight of the nine nations are not categorizable with a single alignment, as there is too much variation amid the population to make a judgement on that. However, it is widely agreed that just about everyone and everything that inhabits Kulnaku is mostly evil. This means that if your character is any sort of evil, and they are drow, then it is very likely that they either were born in Kulnaku and live there now, or came from there whether as a refugee or by lineage.

National Attributes[edit]

In Oa, nationality plays a large role in terms of defining who a character is and what their upbringing was like. It doesn't mandate alignment but it can have an effect on that. Here is a list of the mechanical adjustments made according to a character's nationality. These attributes apply to a character that grew up as a native of these nations. Not to people who grew up in numerous nations over time.

Table: National Character Attributes
	Skill Bonuses	Main Language	Accent	Garb	Combat style

Knowledge Local[edit]

All players get to roll 1d20 for their Knowledge local national bonus pertaining to the nation that they were born and raised in, or merely spent most of their life in.

Aetoth[edit]

(Eh-ta-th)
adj: Aetothan

The ethnic dumping ground of Thollon and Diatris. Aetoth was founded by "undesireables" who were deported from neighboring kingdoms to free up jobs for humans. Half-breeds and roudy elves were arrested and shipped to the continent of Aetoth to forage for themselves. Currently they are treated with high regard by the Elves, Gnomes, and to some small degree the Dwarves as Aetoth provides a very nice foot-hold position on Kulnaku, should an invasion ever prove necessary again.
