"Awwww F+&%!"


So....what's the word on our new party of adventurers?


And easy to find!

I hope everyone has finished a character!


Thought that might perk things up for a second!

;)

We are the party who will die of hypothermia over-nights!


hey can we have flint & steel or does it cost....100 gold?

Also small steel mirror, same question.

Otherwise I will add a bow drill and shiny mineral flake to my sheet as a substitute.........

Alright you do have a giant club Grimm. I did not know if you went with the bug crushing weapon or the club.

I just went with gear that I had the costs and stats for....I might change out later, I suspect cost will be a large factor in what I start with.....


I like it....I will let our DM decide if he wants me to make those or if he wants to OR both.

Plus I am "goliath" who uses a sling, ironic right?


Better than mine!

My whole "plot" is trying to become leader "First Guide" of my tribe the Desert Runners.....

The first task is creating your own gear from materials in the evironment (or your own hair)

second task surviving alone in the wilds for a full year

third task surviving the cities and traveling the world, and creating a signature weapon.........

next task unknown, how many tasks also unknown!


Ahh so he did succeed in protecting his charges, others failed in protecting his employer.....

I have some serious work to do on my backstory!


Are you saying as a bodyguard your charge was killed?

I didn't see the background in the spoiler above, must be in the thread somewhere......


Focus upon the survival of the tribe, focus on what-ever challenged that survival in a given day, The tribe living in the wilderness requires a guide, his father is now the guide and once Grimm returns from questing to learn of challenges he may face in the future, so that one day he can guide the tribe.....

Utilizes skill to make what he needs for survival. Many demanding tasks await this one as he works to demonstrate his worth to lead the tribe. His current task is to craft a masterwork, composite (+5) large longbow. Once finished he must return to the tribe and be given his next task.

So now I have given the DM an opening to give crazy tasks later on!


I might change out some stuff later, my goal was to make him fully functioning and ready to rumble right away!

From my research the Dm can let me know how many weeks I can roll craft checks for to work on my eventual composite longbow!

I expect to be making "weekly" craft rolls on it throughout the game, no way it can be finished pre-game start......

Might make it a right of passage for tribe members in training....

Want to talk about our characters than Grimm? I thought it was quiet to.

Actually my character is almost completed!

Click on my profile!

I am liking the look of the party fighting wise.

I imagine people like look a half-giant, his calves are huge....wait it is a couple of muls...with wings....wait....no with Thrikreen.

They won't see a human or elf for certain.....

@Mrdark
Have you finished your character?

I will be an archer ranger with a sling till I can get a mighty, composite, large, longbow. It seems rapid shot at second level applies to a sling, so I am still in business! ;)

Manyshot though is only for a bow ;(

@anyone else
excited about characters or have finished them?


It is all quiet...

.....too quiet.


Oh yeah!

I got into alot of trouble with costs of gear!

Armor and weapons are base cost times 2 for the size!
studded leather armor not 25 gold.......50 gold what a bargain!....

Sling --free------large sling still free!

shortbow not 30 gold.......60 gold!

So I guess it will be.....
Half-giant, halfling slinger


I have my sling ready!

Spoiler:

Sling large
Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8


Yep Dragon #319 and also Dungeon #110......

I can post some of those later if it will save you some time!


I also want to use the "swatter" or "Maul" from the Athas download...

swatter

Spoiler:

Swatter 100 Cp 1d12 2d8 x4 — 35 lb. Bludgeoning

Swatter: The swatter is a popular name for a half‐giant
weapon consisting of a heavy spiked club made from
hardwood, with a bronze or lead core in the tip for added
weight. The swatter got its name from the tales of a halfgiant
soldier who reputedly used a similar weapon to
defeat an entire thri‐kreen hunting party.

Maul

Spoiler:

Maul 25 Cp 1d10 1d12 x2 — 10 lb. Bludgeoning
Maul: A maul is effectively a very large
sledgehammer that crushes opponents to death. This
weapon is commonly used by dwarves, muls, half‐giants
and other creatures that value great strength.

I have selected a greatclub for right now, but would "love" to use more athas type of weapons.......


DM:

Are we able to use things like craft in the pre-game?

What resources are limited? and starting wealth?

In your game do half-giants have either one of both of the following?

Darkvision: Half‐giants can see in the dark out to 60
feet.

Natural Armor: Half‐giants have a +2 natural armor
bonus to AC.


Location for my tribe

Spoiler:

The ruins of Kalidnay near the lost oasis and Giant's ribs mountains

Let me know, though they are nomadic, they do have a base of operations.


Still working him up!


Still a work in progress......
