Checking in, boss!
No clue on character type. And medical, no clue either. Doctor called today but I missed the call and by the time I could call back, they were closed. No voicemail
I'm thinking I might do an elven oracle, probably ancient lorekeeper. Charismatic and strange. Out of curiosity, do you believe half-elves count as elves, as far as the racial requirement is concerned?
Ok. Then elf oracle (ancient lorekeeper) it is. No idea what mystery but I'll decide soon enough.
Crunch done. Fluff after gym.
Heh, J doesn't get enough respect.
Bjorkus was just a coincidence. It was one of the random names for male minotaur in 4e. =P
Being norse fit the character well. He's a were in hiding, self-medicating and trying to live a normal happy life. The ulfen are known to have a greater than normal affinity for natural born lycanthropy. His mutagen is him taking the anti-suppressant for his wereness.
:p I knew that the Doctor would influence from beyond the grave. It does make me think that I've gotta really decide a bunch about this guy. I originally thought a budding cypher Mage, but I am not good with creation feats nor do I know if those sort of things fit the campaign.
Hmm...now just to decide on his mystery, since I'm really going the caster route. Hmm...that does give me a starting point.
Well what kind of castering do you want to do? Blasting? Control? Support? A little of everything?
Mostly blasting and control (more of the latter than the former) with a smidge of support. I've always thought control was fun. Honestly, if I knew the cypher mage thing would actually prove pertinent, then I might go with it and scrap oracle. Or I could say his family was a long line of cypher mages and he's the cursed one of the bunch, dealing with the results of the bargains they made, which makes for a fun time and a bit of jealousy of the "true" casters.
Then definitely the oracle is quite a fun route. He could definitely be fun. Now that part is settled, time to muse on mysteries and revelations.
They're all good.
Is there any specific revelations or spells that stand out to you?
The lore or dark tapestry mysteries seem pretty cool. Most of dark tapestry is great, and I like the sidestep thing in lore, plus how much many good knowledge things it seems to have.
Lore is one of my favorites.
Yeah, lore does look nice. I think, if I went that one route of his family dabbled in dark stuff and it finally hit him, then dark tapestry would really fit. I'm just not sure whether I'd stay elven (lorekeeper) at that point or go with something like dual-cursed oracle of some other race.
Ok. After much deciding, it's gonna be (if allowed) black-blooded dark tapestry oracle. Just trying to decide between half-elf or halfling. Halfling is fun for hexes and such, while elf is good for extra spells and paragon surge.
Black-blooded is cool but potentially dangerous.
Please welcome our party's newest members.
Entering in the thread with a huge ....fireball.
Howdy!
Okay, no I can't cast fireball yet.
Hi, and welcome!
I'm working on getting my character finished up while we wait for that lazy slow halfling to show up.
Hey, who are you calling lazy and slow?
Not you, the other guy!
Welcome to the party folks.
So, I'm gonna work up the sheet in just a few minutes. For those of you in the know, today has been another rough day. Good news is, they've determined one of the several causes of my symptoms, and tomorrow evening, I get my first of weekly treatments.
So, yay! End of next month, I'll be having those CT scans and then MAYBE, just maybe, I'll have a diagnosis.
I hope Randall gets here soon. We've all got some things to discuss...
Like how to take over the world?
Yes.
Alright, well, while we wait for Randall, there are a few things we can get started on discussing.
First, it's been proposed that we start at second level instead of first. Starting gold would remain the same. Thoughts on this?
Second, do you guys want to begin tomorrow or Saturday?
Starting at second level sounds good. It would mean a longer lull in leveling but I'm all for skipping some of the limitations that comes with being level 1 (including getting gibbed by a crit from a random mook).
I'm leaning toward starting tomorrow. A strong opening weekend would be nice.
Just to be clear, we would start at level 2 with level 1 gold?
Level start doesn't matter to me, either way. I'd prefer to start as soon as possible, but whichever day is fine with me.
I'm voting level 2 on starting level and tomorrow on start date.
Just to be clear, we would start at level 2 with level 1 gold?
Correct.
Just thought you folks should know, never played a wizard before, so don't let me do anything stupid.
Fíriel Goldworthy, checking in!
I'm still trying to decide on a second trait, and haven't gotten the backstory typed up either. I'll get the profile set up as soon as those two things are done.
Alright. We'll plan on starting tomorrow, and congrats on leveling to 2. :P
Woot level 2, tomorrow level 3?
That all depends on you guys!
I need to choose another language.
One slow and lazy halfling, reporting for duty! Level 2, tomorrow, got it. I will get on the character sheet as soon as the domestic duties are complete. And thanks for the pick, gentlemen.
Hey, he decided to show! Too bad we just gave his spot away, isn't it?
(Kidding.)
Welcome aboard!

Don't make me use the pout on you. These cute halfling cheeks, puppy-dog eyes, you don't want to go there, my friend. ;-)
Welcome aboard!
Thank you, kind sir!
Speaking of additional languages, I get one but did not have a story reason to have a preference. Does anyone have a recommendation between Elven, Dwarven, or Gnomish?
Skald!
Elven, sylvan, or aklo are probably all good choices.
