  The Living City CAMPAIGN 
  SWORD AND FIST 
  VERSION 1.0 - JULY, 2001 
   
   
  Sword and Fist, a Builder Book Accessory for the 
  DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game is now approved for use in 
  the LIVING CITY campaign by players and game masters. The 
  following paragraphs detail the changes necessary to adapt the 
  book to the play environment of the LIVING CITY campaign.  
   
  As described in the LIVING CITY Character Creation 
  guidelines on the RPGA Web site www.rpga.com beginning 
  characters may be created using material from the accessory. 
  Existing characters can add material from the accessory at the 
  next normal opportunity (level advancement). Characters may 
  not be "retro-fit" using the new material in the book, they can 
  only be added to. 
   
  What follows is an outline of how you can use the material 
  from this book. If a player chooses to use material from this 
  accessory for one of his or her characters, then that player has to 
  bring the book to the table and be willing to present it to the 
  judge if asked. If the book is not brought to the gaming session, 
  then the character is assumed to not have abilities from this 
  accessory during that scenario (and cannot just "use" other skills 
  for that module).  
   
  Be aware that this Builder Book has errata issued for its first 
  printing. The second and later printings of this product should 
  include the changes. Players can find the free download of the 
  errata at the following link:

  CHAPTER ONE - FEATS AND SKILLS 
   
  All heroic feats and skills introduced in the Sword and Fist 
  accessory are approved for use in the LIVING CITY campaign, 
  unless specifically prohibited by this document.  
   
  CHAPTER TWO  - PRESTIGE CLASSES 
   
  Most Prestige Classes from the Sword and Fist accessory 
  are approved and available to characters, assuming the PC meets 
  the specified guidelines. If a Prestige Class is not listed below it 
  is not approved for play in the LIVING CITY Campaign yet.  
   
  The following Prestige Classes from Sword and Fist are 
  currently available in the LIVING CITY campaign:  
  Cavalier, 
  Devoted 
  Defender, 
  Drunken 
  Master, 
  Duelist, 
  Ghostwalker, Gladiator, Halfling Outrider, Lasher, Master of 
  Chains, Order of the Bow Initiate, Red Avenger, Weapon Master  
   
  Two Prestige Classes will be approved, but will be handled 
  in a special fashion due to some of their built-in restrictions. 
  Details of how a player goes about getting approval to play one 
  of these Prestige Classes will be available in the near future. 
  These classes are listed below:  
  • 
  Ninja - The process for contacting the Crescent Moon 
  Leadership is not known in the LIVING CITY campaign at 
  this time. Therefore, at this time, ninja cannot be taken as a 
  Prestige Class. 
  • 
  Master Samurai - The process of finding a feudal lord and 
  swearing fealty to that individual is not clarified for the 
  campaign entirely, but will become available. In order to 
  play this class the PC will need to find a Lord/Lady to swear 
  allegiance to per the requirements of the class. No PCs will 
  be allowed to play a Ronin. 
   
  Important Note: Players using the Drunken Master Prestige 
  Class should be very aware of the other players at the table. 
  Children and other players that are sensitive to such issues 
  should be considered at all times (if you are not certain how the 
  others player feel about playing such a PC, ask them before 
  starting). As always, refer to the guidelines for playing the game 
  in an ethical and positive manner, keeping the feelings of the 
  other players in mind. 
   
  CHAPTER THREE - WORLDLY MATTERS 
   
  The Organizations described on pp. 43-52 of Sword and Fist 
  have no know representatives in Ravens Bluff (or anywhere on 
  Faerun). As such, LIVING CITY characters cannot join these 
  organizations at this time, and they should not be used for 
  character or scenario backgrounds.  
   
  CHAPTER FOUR - THE GAME WITHIN THE GAME  
   
  The two feats listed in this chapter (Large and In Charge and 
  Multi-Tasking) are not available for most characters in the 
  LIVING CITY campaign. Only naturally sized L creatures can 
  take the Large and In Charge feat. There are no PCs with more 
  than two arms in the LIVING CITY campaign. Questions about 
  specific races should be directed to Rick Brill at rbrill@rpga.net 
   
  The same goes for the other rules for monstrous characters 
  presented in this chapter. The Variant rules presented on page 69 
  are not being used in the LIVING CITY campaign at this time.  
   
  CHAPTER FIVE - TOOLS OF THE TRADE  
   
  All Exotic Weapons listed in the Sword and Fist accessory 
  may be purchased by PCs within the LIVING CITY campaign 
  with the exception of the Mercurial longsword and the Mercurial 
  greatsword. At this time, no weapon smiths in the Vast know 
  how to make these weapons. It is rumored that there are weapon 
  masters in the East who possess this knowledge  
   
  Magic items described in Sword and Fist, like all magic 
  items in the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game, are not available 
  for purchase outside of Metagame activities. See the Character 
  Creation guidelines for more information on making magical 
  items  
   
  The building of towers, keeps and castles will be handled 
  through the LC Land Office  
   
  If you have questions or comments about this press release, 
  please contact Scott Magner, RPGA Games Coordinator at 
  bhagwan@wizards.com or Rick Brill, Living City Campaign 
  Director of Information at rbrill@rpga.net.  
   
  These rules will be published as addenda to the Character 
  Creation guidelines and will appear with the next update to said 
  guidelines.
