It's okay, guys. My weekend wound up busier than expected anyway. I would like to get everything finalized in today or tomorrow, though. I'm hoping to get the game started soon. :)

Ravenath, I looked over Halungalom...just a couple of comments. Spoiler: 1. I believe his Fly skill total should be +8 2. His ranged dagger attack should be at +4 Other than these two minor issues, his sheet looks great. Good job!
Jestem, I looked over Vanyc, here are my comments so far. I have not yet looked at his gear or spells. Spoiler:
1. It looks like his ability score totals come to a 21 point buy. 2. Some of the combat numbers don't quite add up. For one thing, his weapon damage looks like they are for medium size weapons, but his would be small. Also, please double check attack bonuses, they don't look right. 3. Looks like traits are missing. 4. I can't find hit points. Maybe I overlooked them. Thanks!
Alright, as far as I can tell my sheet is done. Avatar is finally up and everything. Sorry about asking about it, must have been having a bad day or something Excellent! No reason to apologize, I'm just glad you found an avatar that works for you.
Okay everybody, I'd like to go over the sheets carefully this weekend, so if possible, please try to get everything 100% completed (including backgrounds and full equipment lists please). Assuming everybody gets his sheet done today or tomorrow, we should be able to kick off the IC thread early next week. :)
Yeah, that should be fine. That's not very far, so I'm not worried about anything being spoiled.
Jestem, don't forget an avatar for Vanyc. I will need a pic so I can make nice looking battle maps. :) True, there aren't too many gnome avatar pics available. Nonetheless, hopefully you can find something suitable. I'm not sure why the difficulty in getting things to work right. You should be able to go under your account, look at your alias list, choose 'edit' on the right, and then choose/change the avatar pic associated with the alias. Other than that, I'm not sure how to help.

So, to summarize the final roster of six players, we have... Ravenath - Halungalom Moonhalo, NG Gnome Alchemist
With recruiting successfully completed, please let's migrate further discussion to the following thread: Thanks everyone!
Welcome to the discussion, players! As you work on your characters, please do create an alias and choose a suitable avatar to represent your PC. When characters are 100% done and ready for review, just let me know. Also, please let me know if you have any questions at all. I'm here to help. Looking forward to getting started.
Glod and Daniel Stewart, Thanks for your interest, but I'm going to go ahead and cap this with six players (the first six to express interest). If any of them fall through, I will look for replacements, however. The two of you would be at the top of the list.
Sorry to keep you waiting. I'll probably go with a Dwarf Cleric if there's still room; probably focusing on knowledge, healing and direct damage, with a sideline in buffing where absolutely necessary. It's okay! I welcome your cleric with open arms! This frees up dathom to put forth his archer, which rounds out the party pretty nicely.
Deadeye trait is acceptable, and Davor's ability scores look fine at a glance. No worries.
I don't mind sharing a thematic role. Looks like you and KMBCross have no problem, therefore I have no problem. It's not so much any perceived mechanical overlap that gave me pause, I was just worried that they could role-play in very similar fashion. It looks like you two are committed, though, so I'm sure you'll work to give each character a distinctive voice. I'm sure we'll be fine...carry on.
For the reasons you state here, I'm okay with this. However, I'll be keeping a very close eye on starting equipment, as I don't want to see this turn into a ploy to over-equip with lots of magical and alchemical gear which would make the character overpowered for 1st level. Please proceed with the character's story foremost in mind.
I have a problem with the sources. Fist, the dwarf monk is a martial artist, an archtype described in Ultimate Combat. It's a type of monk that doesn't use ki. That's how Fist work: he focus in the combat techniques, instead of the monastic tradition. Ravenath, I see below that you've decided now to go with the alchemist, so that solves any problem. I'm sure we could have worked something out, in any case. I have nothing against Ultimate Combat per se, it's just that I don't own it, and the rules have not yet gone up on the SRD. Having said that, I'm happy to see your alchemist on board.
Okay, character creation rules... -First level PCs
Questions? Let me know. I'll start a discussion thread after work tonight.
Well, it looks like this game has found a willing DM...er, that would be me. Let's abandon this thread now and take further discussion to Ravenath's other relevant thread (HERE!) from here on. There may be one spot left, if anyone else wants to throw a hat in the ring.
What the heck, I think I'm game for this! I'll run KM for you guys, unless Dreaming Warforged wants to fight me for the honor, in which case I would step aside because he posted first. Assuming that's not the case, it looks like we have... Ravenath
and maybe Chris Parker, though he has not weighed in on this thread, so I'm not sure if he's on board or not. Jestem, I think we'd need you to play the sorcerer over the bard, since arcane casting looks rather light for this group. I'm a little concerned that Davor and KMBCross's bruiser might be covering too much of the same ground thematically? Either of you guys have an alternate suggestion? dathom, I'd love for you to play the archer, but I wonder if we might need the cleric instead. Then again, Chris Parker mentioned a possible cleric as well, so we'll see if he is still around. Ravenath, I'm not crazy about your ninja. I think I'd rather see you run either the monk or the alchemist. I like the backstory for the monk better, but I think that the alchemist might be a better fit for party balance. I'm a bit torn there. Those are my thoughts as things stand right now. Your comments and ideas welcome! Let's get this ball offically rolling!
Some good ideas here so far, I like what I've seen. I would just want everyone to nail down their concepts cohesively, so we can have a well balanced party. edit: Ravenath, you're the architect of this whole thing, and you haven't yet mentioned what sort of character you'd like to play. Your thoughts?
Hmmm...intriguing. I've been kicking around the idea of running a game recently. And, I confess that having a group of players already assembled holds some appeal for me. And, Kingmaker is a terrific campaign. I'm thinking it over, very seriously. Like Dreaming Warforged, though, I'd like to know a little bit more about the players and characters before fully committing. edit: It's probably worth mentioning, I could run up to 6 PCs for this campaign, if we can get that much interest.
I apologize in advance if this seems to be a rudimentary question, but it's a bit confusing to me. If PCs are aware of an enemy coming, and wish to ready attack actions, can they use those actions as soon as the foes come within range, even if their initiative falls later than that of the enemies? Technically, the PCs readied the actions before initiative was even rolled. Then, once the enemies realized the PCs were there, we rolled INIT. So neither side is surprised. Since the PCs already readied actions, do they basically get a free action regardless of their initiative count? Thanks for any help! |
