Hello guys! I'm finally here. This Nathan
Hello everyone! Should we start by choosing race and class?
Would love to play a Human, not sure what class yet want to see what everyone picks first.
I'm in, I believe that I'll be playing a Human Cleric. Still not sure what domains I'll pick though. How do you want us to go about doing character generation?
I would like to either be:
a. Halfling Rogue that is a bit of a silly character. He tends to get himself into pretty sticky situations by picking pockets or wandering into dragon lairs in search of loot. Lucky for him he has some damn fine friends who are always have his back. In trade he kindly provides them with his services (he excels at finding traps and locating secret stashes of treasure).
b. Gnomish bookworm (specialist wizard) who is completely head over heels in love with his own voice. He knows everything about anything and will tell you every little details about a particular item, person, or location until the cows come home.
c. A quiet human ranger which is 1/16 elf (similar to Wvolf). He has been to the Silent Forest but does not reveal any information obtained there. In fact, only a few people know that he has been, and those that do rarely speak of it for fear of reprisal of this lone wolf.
Anyone have any recommendations? When do we start rolling up characters?
We usually go either with the 3d6 12 times, choose 6 best -OR- roll 4d6 6 times removing the lowest die from each roll. Alternately we could go OLD SCHOOL and roll 3d6 6 times STRAIGHT DOWN. I love old school and find that low stats can bring about some very interesting characters. Up to you guys though! :)
They really should align the avatar images to the right so they don't cause the strange effects to the text on the left hand side of the screen. Do you guys have this issue as well? (Sorry, off subject! :P)
All ready have something of a concept for my Pc. Don't have a name yet though.
Early on in his career as a soldier (first level fighter) he quickly grew tired of loosing those he cared about around him. He left the sword behind and picked up the cloth to fight the war in a different method, to heal the wounds of his comrades and strike fear into the hearts of those who caused that harm.
Not sure but I think that might make him Lawful Neutral or Neutral Good.
I have one suggestion on Stat generation. Stephen could roll up the stats, then depending on how many people are playing (lets say five) and have all of us pick a number 1 to 5, that way Stephen would know all the stats where done fairly. Plus I think it would add an element of surprise as well.
If need be, say Jonathan wants to play a rogue and gets his stats and the Dex score is 8. He could refill it in what ever manner Stephen would suggest.
RonarsCorruption, aka Michael here, finally. I never play on these boards, so I got lost earlier. >.>
Well, I see a human bard and a halfling rogue requested so far, so very traditional Klavekian Fighter seems a good counterpoint. But, if nobody else wants it, I can play a cleric/healer, too.
Vlad Krelson is fairly typical for a Klavekian. Born in the northern reaches of the kingdom in a cold cottage on a winter's night, he nearly froze to death twice before he was but a single year old - but not since.
Once Vlad could walk, he has been trained to deal with his harsh homeland, and has never once regretted being born here - in fact, his inborn skill and strength had led him on quite the adventure. He had departed his small village for Mohkba to join the army, only to be derailed in his quest repeatedly by greater and greater dangers and obstacles, only to overcome each one.
By now, his own fame is beginning to rival the army he had sought to join, and it would seem fate would dictate that it would still be some time before he could arrive in the capitol.

((I imagine I should wait for the others before I post?))
At a young age Sigismund became a soldier in the Kings army. Not long afterward he had his experience in battle, shaken at first he quickly adjusted to sites and sounds of war. After a year went by, while on patrol with small squad of troops, they were attacked. Before they could recover from the ambush most of the unit was devastated.
It wasn't until after the battle that when Sigismund and the few survivors realized what had attacked them. It was wolves, a small pack of wolves numbering around 5 came in and slaughtered an entire squad of soldiers. What made it strange was when one of these wolves was killed. In it's place was a man.
Not even an hour passed when one of the Royal Inquisitor's had showed up rounding up all the survivors. Sigismund didn't know who this man was or what he wanted, be he knew one thing, he was done with the Crown and the Inquisitors. After this "investigation" he quickly left his past life behind and picked up the cloth and swore to never pick up the sword again or to fight for the Crown.
Sorry it's so long, got a little carried away.
Vlad pushes around the now-bare bone in front of him, unhappy he had to pay for it from his own personal cache, rather than from money the group was currently making. It was never pleasant to be out of business, especially so suddenly as it had happened.
When Grunt looked over at him to grin, Vlad only grimaced back - he liked to think he would be able to take the other man in fair combat - or even in unfair combat, really.
"You think they'd know it was me if I hucked this at 'im?" He asked Sigismund, beside him, "I mean, I bet I could get away with it..."
I shall create my character and present him tomorrow morning.
So, just to clarify:
Level 6
These stats: 17, 15, 14, 12, 10, 8
1 point for first level
I would love to test out a new magical item. I will refrain from choosing anything from the campaign setting and allow others to snag those. (I'm sure whatever my character wants will eventually end up in his grubby little hands anyway.)
"Now Vlad, as much as I would like to see you mop the floor with this child. There are too many people watching. Now is not the time nor the place."
Sigismund sits back and watches Grunt and the rest of his group. Making sure nothing out of hand is said or done.
Hail and well met friends!
My name is Dweedletoes, Renowned Map-Maker and Adventurer Extraordinaire!
A bit about me you ask?
I have been known to stumble upon dragons and their hoards of treasure from time to time. Of course in all cases the dragon lay dead at my feet while I reap the rewards such as gold, gems, and magical goodies! Too bad my companions at times wander too close and are gobbled up or fried to a crisp. I always tell them they should follow me and sneak into the shadows BEHIND the dragon not charge in like some bare-chested barbarian brute! "Me Volgar warrior, me kill you dragon, smite you blah blah blah..." Bye bye Volgar! HELLO TREASURE!!
Whoops! I got a bit off subject there, yeah so anyway... I have a rich history which I won't bore you with now since we're off to find treasure soon... oh did I tell you the story of when I once scaled the highest peak in the Jagged Crags and single-handedly slayed that Snow Roc? Then I stole her eggs along with a rare flower which I sold to some bumbling mayor for about ten times what they were worth! Ha, ha! Good times!
What did you say your name was again?
Hey, where's your coin purse? Just kidding!
Sigismund leans over to Vlad and whispers, "Check your pockets friend, I had dealings with these folk a few seasons back. Their friendly, yes. But they tend to be a little friendlier to your pocket if you know what I mean."
Sigismund looks at Dweedletoes, and speaking in Halfling "Greetings, Dweedletoes. What brings you all the way up to the north, hopefully not my pockets. Care to join us in a drink?"
"Well good to meet you Jegres, over here we have Vlad and next to me we have Dweedletoes. Don't mind that brute Grunt over there, he's just a loud mouth.
"Oh, and by the way. I'm Sigismund.
Vlad nods in greeting, quiet for the moment and content to let Sigismund do his introduction for him.
Privately, he was hoping that 'drinks for everyone' included their table, because seeing those damn black bears made him want a strong drink.
"Play away my good Bard. The night is young, the glass is still empty. Barkeep! Another round for this table!"
Sigismund glances over at Grunts table to see what his party is up to.

"Don't mind if I do."
"Hail fine lads. Perhaps ye would like to hear the tales of my travels? I hath traveled a long journey to reach this icy cold land.. brr...."
((Note to all: Click on my name and you'll see all my stats. You can do the same things as well Cory. Just add an ALIAS to your profile.))
((
And thanks Dweedletoes for the hint of posting in character!))
"Aye, little man, how did a small fellow such as yourself find himself here?" Vlad asks the halfling, not sure why someone so small would take up the travelling lifestyle. It must be awful hard on him.
"There's no need to be so shy!" Vlad sees the smaller man pause for a moment, "I don't think less of you because you're small. Everyone's smaller than me!"
Vlad grins, thinking such a comment both very clever and very inspiring, but then shrugs, "But, never mind that, it is late and I've had a lot of mead. I think I'll head to bed - maybe there'll be some work in the morning that those bears don't poach."
"My apologizes there Vlad, I must of dozed off there for a moment. I can't hold my drink these days. What do you say we stir up some trouble or go see what the problem is with this other bunch of nobody's?"
"You in Dweedle? How about you Jegres, think you can find out what their up to or distract them long enough while one of us goes and explores their room?" I say this whipering, hoping that Jegres doesn't smell the strong drink overpowering my breath.
