Here's our OOC thread. We'll take a day or two to get everyone here, to get everyone hammered out, and to clear up any questions people may have, and hopefully actually begin playing before mid-week.
I made the adjustments to my profile to change over to weapon finesse. Let me know if there are any problems.
Awesome, and thank you for the invitation.
I wanted to check to make sure that the alternate racial abilities I have are okay (they all make more sense than the default choices, backstory wise), and to clarify that your house rules on weapon finesse include every light weapon, which include unarmed strikes and therefore touch attacks too.
Touch attacks are finessable in that you may use your dexterity to modify your attack roll (now without a feat), but as you wouldn't add strength to most of them anyways, you are unable to add Dex for damage to most of them as well.
I DID forget one important thing, though (and I will add this change to rules). With this house-rule, you NEVER add 1/2 the multiplier for a finessed weapon, even when it is two-handed. Natural attacks are considered finessable, but primary attacks using weapon finesse gain no additional benefit from being primary attacks.
Also, I notice that you have a notation for Charles being middle-aged. It's fine if he's that old, but be aware that I don't generally allow benefits or penalties from age to be applied to newly created characters.
I just noticed that I forgot to give Ildeon any clothing besides his armor.
I'll just add an explorers outfit to his items.
Yeah, don't worry too much about clothing. As long as it's not too outlandish, I assume you're wearing whatever style your character favors.
The only time that is ever likely to come into play is if you need to dress for environmental effects or for special social occasions.
Hopefully someone took Aklo as a secondary language or understanding Cassandra during combat is going to be interesting.
It seems no one did, so yeah, it's going to be interesting^^
So, will he just be old but unaffected by the benefits/penalties, or should I rework him to be a few years younger? I like the idea of him not having realized his druidic powers until later in his life, but if it's a problem I'll gladly change it.
He would simply be unaffected by the benefits/penalties of age.
I've got a spell for that Cassandra, but just out of natural curiosity, I'd likely learn it as soon as possible. Which begs the question, are there any special considerations for learning languages?
Alright, well, I just reworked him a bit to not use age penalties/benefits. If it's alright I'll just make him 112 years old, so we don't need to actually ignore the aging rules (it seems like that cheapens some class abilities/spells). 112 years is plenty of time to fit in his backstory, and having a bit more physical ability instead of only wisdom looks like a good idea since our party appears rather caster-heavy.
Seems that neither our witch still hasn't checked in. I'll send him a PM, but if we don't here from him by tomorrow, I'll likely select someone else from the recruitment thread so we can get things rolling by Wednesday.
Assuming we don't hear from him, does anyone have any preferences for who we take for the sixth guy?
My vote is for Leon Ravencourt.
Checking in! I'm not usually on the boards during the weekends, so I figured I should let you know I'm alive. Also, I now have one more language available to take, seeing as I was given Polyglot for free. I can definitely take Aklo if need be.
Welp, that's a party!
It's not necessary, really. I usually post her curse in spoiler form anyway. that way no one needs to read them if they don't need to.
I'm happy to take it. Otherwise, I'm sure I'll take it at level 2.
Alright, so we've got everyone together. I know I've been scarce these last couple of days - I'm busiest during the first half of the week. If everyone is ready, though, we should have the IC thread up and running tomorrow evening (well, my evening).
Alright! Let's get this thing started!
Good stuff.
Good to go.
All ready here.
Standing by.
Alright, gameplay thread is up, and can be located here. There were some muckups on my part in getting things together, so it's not connected in the right campaign right now, but we'll see about getting that resolved later. For now, hike on over and introduce yourself to the lovely people of Ravengro!
Alright, I've tenuously connected our two threads at the top of the page. You will find a link there to the gameplay thread, and a similar link in the gameplay thread directing you back here.
Hmm, did our DM vanish for the last few days or have I missed something?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I've been kind of busy last week and suddenly had a whole bunch of s%*& pile up on my plate. I must confess not all of it was work-related, but in my defense, little mountain villages don't have wifi. I just got back from a three-day trip, and hopefully I'll have something up tomorrow or the next day.
Heyyyyy, welcome back. Hope we can get this up and running now. I will be away from Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon this weekend, unfortunately, but feel free to DMPC my character if needed to get things rolling. I would have let you know earlier, but I wasn't sure if the campaign was still a go.
No worries, glad everything's alright.
