Darn loading screens. I suppose I should be thankful it doesn't have some inane tip like "Melee weapons can only strike foes adjacent to you; ranged weapons allow you to hit enemies at a distance." Derr.

Tip 41: My master always told me to go for the eyes.
Tip supplied by Boo
Anyway, my character is almost done. I'll change/add some stuff in his background and still have equipment to pick but that won't be much since he can't carry much (oh wait! I have a personal mul- I mean bodyguard to help me carry stuff!).

Change of plans. No wifi on the plane out to San Diego and client kept us out until midight (PDT, 3 am EDT) so I never had a chance to complete. Have everything in my head, just not down on the char sheet yet. Hopefully tonight.

Nummil, sounds fine except that Maqli's story has her having protected Nummil's family for some time now-- almost 20 years. This puts her starting to guard Nummil when he was 51, if you want him to stay 71 at this point. That's fine by me-- it makes sense for him to have been let loose by Parlyp at that age (you say it was surprising due to his youth, and 51 puts him at not quite an adult) and for Maqli to have been hired to guard him then.
In my mind it seems that Maqli's served Nummil for a while now, and while they're friendly they probably have something similar to a younger-older sibling relationship, though not necessarily in that they feel like they're related or anything. Nummil probably continued studies after being turned loose by Parlyp, and Maqli's mostly served as a houseservant for Nummil and his family in that time.

Perfect, I'll adjust my background accordingly.

Characters are looking good. I was going to comment on the choice of Murderous Command for Vaashti but after reading her background it makes sense. (there's a "/" too many in the Darkvision title bolding)
@Vero: care to copy your character info to your profile?

Thanks for the formatting catch. And yeah, playing Vaashti as a merciful healer is going to be fun. She hasn't had the best of lives, and her "mercy" is generally reserved for those she can call family or close friends. As a follower of the Everbloom, she is perfectly happy to use spells to damage, control, or otherwise harm those she feels are evil, unjust, or oppressive. For others, her compassion and natural reticence to harm anyone will keep her focused on non-magical forms of combat. We'll see.

Okay, Vaashti's ready to go....but i do have one question. Can I use the tattoo in her backstory for the "birthmark" faith trait?
Being lawyerish here
You were born with a strange birthmark that looks very similar to the holy symbol of the god you chose to worship later in life.
Following the descriptive text, I would say no.
But if the tattoo was applied in when you were a tot(2) to near mid childhood (5-7), Then I would say yes*, as you are not old enough to have found your path yet.* Yes in that it was not your free will to have it, but your free will to follow, or you saw (or ask to apply one, by deity) in a dream and wanted it as a tattoo
Was using human ages

@Zero: care to copy your character info to your profile?
I've been busy and have not had all the time needed to finish it.
I use notepad to keep the character data, until it's ready, since the boards sometimes forget what was written if you take to long to post.
Vaashti C'tan |
I do the same, usually. And flesh out character advancement for a few levels while I am at it.
I'll change the trait since it fits her background better to have her 'sisters' pay or her tattoo just before she leaves them.

Not you! I ment Vero Inious :D

@Azure, I like that you want to get started quickly but since the idea is that we'll all be running this game eventually, shall we go easy on the deadlines? GM kicking out another (future) GM for being late finishing his character seems a bit too much imho.
But! @Vero Inious: hurry up already!
Vero Inious |
Stats are going to take a slightly higher priority than back story.
You have til Midnight to get the stats in your profile.
I finished most of the stats last night, except the dice rolls. All I need is some in-your-face,'the time is now' countdown music and I'll be able to finish it.
But! @Vero Inious: hurry up already!
OH GOD THE PRESSURE
Oh, and AZ, I've intentionally tried to keep parts of the backstory open, so there's enough for you to use for the campaign. Just ask if you want me to retcon anything so it fits in better.
DM Azure_Zero |
Not to sound mean or anything
I gave 36 hours or Risk being* dropped, and he had about a week to get the character done when recruitment started.
Everyone already had a basic character ready with an alias, it's not fair to hold up the rest of the group.
*I would of then forced milestones for his character's completion with attributes and feats due Saturday, Skills due Sunday, Equipment due Monday
@Vero
Open Back stories are always great player and GM tools
Starting HP is Max as is Wealth
Stats are Point Buy (20 points)
Stat -> (Point)
STR: 14 (5)
DEX: 15+2 (7)
CON: 10 (0)
INT: 14 (5)
WIS: 13 (3)
CHA: 12 (2)
Your over by 2 Points
Vero Inious |
You now have 1 point left,
you can put into CON, WIS or CHAPRD
Scroll to the middle.
I thought I had to remove two points just now; anyway, I added a point to charisma for now. Oh, and sorry for being a complete moron with this - I appreciate the help.

"Gahh! Must protect the young master!"
Grapple CM: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Vaashti C'tan -> Clear
Maqli -> Clear
Vero Inious -> ClearNummil Blueskin -> Error: CMD, (10 + 0 BAB -1 STR + 3 DEX) = 12,
unless I missed something
You're right! ScoreForge error there, I just copied the sheet in good faith. Fixed now btw.

Sorry, didn't realize you were waiting on me. Looks like an eclectic bunch of well-armed hobos with sociopathic tendencies and property ownership issues. Let's go!
