SO who all is still interested? Just want to know when to close recruitment
So any decision on when you closing recruitment, or how many characters you're taking.
If you have room, With the numbers I rolled, I would consider a human paladin or an Elf fighter/mage instead of a human fighter. Any thoughts?
Paladins can be rewarding, and I am all for a code as opposed to a strict Lawful Good alignment. That way its more rewarding to have a code. Based off Religion and Kingdom.

Cool, as I've mentioned I'm not familiar with the setting at all, so is this a good place to start?
Here is my breachgnome.
I will probably want to sync my background with Galdrock, as we're both gnomes. If he is doing an Illusionist-Thief, maybe we've got a Caramon/Raistlin brothers situation going on.
Any other gnomes want to join the family?
I'm not as quick as Posh in created a templated out character sheet but here is the basics of Vorzu!
He barely got out of his mage tower where he was under training. they were always too stuffy anyway. Never did take the craft of entertaining and mis-direction seriously. But he was able to grab 2 things on his way out as he escaped. His trusty tools for the nimble arts and his spell book he used for study. Along the way he picked up a nice long branch he uses as a quarterstaff.
He has to entertain for his meals or attempts to catch fish to cook by the campfire. Occasionally he will barter his skills at appraising rocks or shining them up for a meal, as he carries nothing else with himself at the moment.
Let's see what adventures await. Oh that gnome seems very grumpy looking. he needs a friend to help him be less grumpy.
PS--this is Galdrock's gnome illusionist / thief
You guys get to have fractional ability scores.
a good percentile next to each attribute as you will get a chance to improve them when you advance in level.

Does that mean we could have a paladin of Selûne?

Yes though you will still be beholden to its tenets. Which would be your code? So hunting Sharites etc.
Woot!! above average.
@GM what happens with a 100!? :)

I'm not sure, I'd start with the basic knight's code, then add value from Selûne focus, hunting evil lycanthropes (I assume) Sharites, Protect her worshipers, including shapeshifters and good lycanthropes stuff like that. This is the sort of thing I said I may need help with.
So a human paladin (so still lawful good?) worshiper of Selûne? Maybe Ratel Dier I'll work on him more Monday...
Man. Forgotten Realms.
Like I said earlier in this thread, it's been ages since I played 2e and I never looked back after the changes to 3.5 and Pathfinder. But I Love the Realms.
Is this still open? When is the Deadline?

Well once it goes over 100 your stat goes up. These have to be in order.
SO as follows it goes
Str is at 93
Dex at 63
COn at 57
Int at 100( which is not bad.)
WIs at 62
Cha at 62
Com at 57

Look up knight order os Selune, you are probably a part of one of them. They may have tenets or missions. I can weave something in, with the stuff I have.

Percentiles for all 7, and they are rolled in order. Class determines what you roll to add to it.
As for a wrap up date I am thinking newt weekend
Will likely go with a Ranger, though beyond that, not sure yet.

ok so (it has been over 4 decades since I played 2nd edition)...does the racial stat cap stay at 18 with fractional abilities? or can you exceed 18 with this optional rule?
Yes but only 2 above racial maximum
So with a 100, Vorzu should start with a +1 on INT then, right?
No it will be a grunted +1 Intelligence at level 2
Maybe by 18th level or so Paritosh will have an 18 STR!!!!
As for a wrap up date I am thinking newt weekend
I'm going to assume he meant 'next weekend' not some odd salamander holiday. So far we have:
Posted interest:
Johawn the Adventurer: Rolled stats,
wanderer82: rolled stats, ranger?
Camaris: interest
RIZZENMAGNUS: rolled stats, Dwarven Cleric of the Forge
Daniel Steward: rolled stats
Imaginary Crayons: rolled stats
Finished characters
Zahir ibn Mahmoud ibn Jothan: Posh Stemtimple Breach Gnome
Galdrock: Vorzu Stronggem Illusionist/Thief
I've still got my human paladin on the back burner in case he's needed to have a game.
OH Next Weekend,:::Puts away all the Newts::: Yes thats what I meant.
Forgot Easter is this weekend so probably Overnight Monday will be the cut-off. Oh Im Central Standard Time zone
@Robert Henry: Going with Elven or Half-Elven Ranger.
Should have it done in a day or so.

I just surgery yesterday. Its gonna be a hot minute before i can sit down and attempt to think towards a 2e character
Hope you’re feeling better!
Elf Ranger
Dwarf Cleric
Gnome Illusionist/Thief
Breachgnome
That's a pretty solid 2E party.
I'd like 2 more players. But I agree that isn't bad
Hello everyone, I have been playing RPGs for many years, but only now decided to create an account here on Paizo and perhaps give PbP a real try. I have been looking more and more into opportunities to play Old School Games, and 2e just fits the bill for me.
But as a complete newcomer to this recruitment process, I have some doubts regarding the steps - hope it is ok to throw some questions around? I guess I will just ask them one at a time - the first one would be what are we expected to put forward as an 'application'?
I haven't played AD&D2e in a VERY long time, so is a character outline enough? Like 'I will play a ex-army human warrior with a nasty disposition and a two handed sword. He has been down on his luck since leaving the footman service under the Purple Knights, so he now works as a mercenary'? Or should we make sure to have a character fully built?
Hope these questions are not too dumb!
I still have a last one - in terms of scope (game length, and speed of leveling, etc), do dual classes make any sense in a PbP game? I have always dreamed about playing a dual classed Fighter/Mage, and since we are taking a trip down memory lane, that would be something I would definitely like to try. But I am not sure how long do PbP games actually run, and whether such investment would make sense?

Im shooting for long term. I like your idea for a Purple Dragon, but it would have to be a Half-Elf at least to be a Fighter/Mage, Unless you seek to Dual CLass. But you are starting at 1st level.
Well first roll your seven stats, as Im using comeliness. Then Once you have assigned them each stat roll in order percentiles which I will have as a base to add to each level.

Thank you for the replies. Yep like I said, I was considering it. As the DM, do you think it is a bad idea?

No its a great Idea, Half-Elf or Elf would work well. I don't like the level limits on Races, especially if everyone is a Demihuman.
Ok, now I am a bit confused :)
I was planning on playing a dual-class fighter/mage (necessarily human, right?), but I get the impression you thought I meant multiclass Fighter/Mage (which is also great to be honest).
About the rolls - are we supposed to do them ourselves, or will you? If we do the rolling:
Apply those to your stats, then roll a d100 for each ability, starting with Strength and ending with Comeliness. Those are your starting stats.
Full HP for all at first level.

@Robert Henry: Will you be playing? If you're playing a Human, I'll play an elf. If you aren't in, my Ranger will be Human. (So there's at least one) I'm good either way. (But a Ranger and a Paladin in the party is VERY Forgotten Realms. Just sayin'.)
Then I roll percentiles, yes?
How exactly do these work? I don't remember it from AD&D2e.

With this many applicants I probably will not be adding my paladin into the mix. I've got several friends in the group and I wanted to make sure they were able to put a game together. As Posh pointed out you have a pretty solid 2E party, so I will be happy to just read along.

Ok, got it. Heard a lot of good things about crunchy Hackmaster, but never tried it myself.

DM Barbarian Taco, are you allowing bonus Language slots to be used as Weapon or Non-Weapon Proficiencies? (think there was an optional rule recommended in the Complete Fighter's for that?)
Oh?! I may use such a rule if it exists too!!!
Id says non-weapon proficiencies.
You will with downtime have the ability to train in weapons and non-weapon proficiencies.
