I'm showing Zuko as 1 ability point heavy. Also, which do you wish to channel, negative or positive energy?

Zuko is channeling positive energy.

As to ability scores, please see the following explanation:

Spoiler:

Zuko's present stats are: Str 10, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 18, Cha 14

I made Zuko's stats by following this procedure:

32 point buy for stats

Base stats before modification.

Base stats: Str 10 (2 pts.), Dex 14 (6 pts.), Con 14 (6 pts.), Int 12 (4 pts.), Wis 15 (8 pts.), Cha 14 (6 pts.) = 32 pts.

Now add human ability bonus per Dragon Mag Dark Sun Update (+2 to any ability score and +2 to any other ability score), raising Dex and Wis

Str 10, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 17, Cha 14

Fourth Level - +1 ability boost, added to Wis. Hence, Zuko's present stats are:

Str 10, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 18, Cha 14

I trust you will find the foregoing satisfactory.

By the way, I am changing Zuko's choice of power from force screen to inertial armor.

It's the original Dark Sun stat roll.

No minimum roll? <-----no way

Match rolls to stats AFTER rolling? <---I assume this is so

Any other details?

So some people are point buy and some are rolling?

Cool deal thanks. Aha! I wasn't weighting the point buy correctly from the boost to 17 (mistake..mine!). Much obliged.

The prodigal efreet returns! Shoot, feel like being the primary alternate? One post per day per player.

I like to accommodate both those who prefer rolling, and those who prefer more control over their character in case they have a concept already in mind. Same reason I offered to take average hit points. :)


This is why I am asking. 5d4, no min, matched after the roll as per invisible castle procedures:

Aso's base stats.

(ED: I find that obscenely unbalancing. That's worth 39 points.)

Man, I gotta go with how the bones fell. No worries...it is interesting, though.

Even Sweeter! "MalaKi! Hunt!", is a phrase he hears nearly everyday.


This may sound nuts, Beeler but I can't keep that yummy Invisible Castle stat roll because it just doesn't match the fluff I wrote for Aso. I'm going for the 32 pb instead.

Little Aso is going to need help reintegrating into society. He's been in the same cage for some years. You guys are going to have to (okay you don't "have to":

1. get him wearing clothes.
2. teach him to keep wearing them.
3. potty train him.
4. teach him basic manners.
5. prevent him from chewing the throat out of the nearest canine when he gets hungry.
6. get him to walk on two feet.
7. discourage him from licking and touching "himself"

... and I'm sure there will be other problems.

The funny thing is, I think Aso has the same Charisma as Shenker.... scary.

Would that be reintegrating into halfling society, or what passes for society amongst humans? If we want him to stop acting like an animal then I will need to teach him halfling ways. But I think he is far too 'human' now to really make it possible. I mourn for his spirit.

Hmmm. Maybe I need to rethink this. After all, Aso is not finished yet.

And why does everybody start going mental case when we're playing Dark Sun? Did HPL write this stuff? No? Leave the nutcase stuff to the expert here, please.


One thing Aso does not do is hump leg. Causes chafing.

We GOTTA have Aso walking around on a leash, like Wez from Road Warrior, until it's time for battle.

20 fairy dollars to anyone who can remember the name of that little kid with the boomerang.

(Ed: and I figure Aso would chew through the leash. You don't want to get too close to him with a chain, either.)

Aso has issues. Shenker, on the other hand, just hit every branch on the way down when he fell out of the Ugly Tree.

That's a rhetorical question, right?

Yeah. This is the first time I've been allowed to play an evil character (and took the DM up on the offer) in, jeez, like, seven or eight years.

...

Since my first character. Yeah.

The feral kid never gets a name, does he. Well then, in THIS game the feral kid gets a name. Hopefully he will find his mommy and daddy and live happily ever after.

Not.

On another note, I've noticed that the majority of the party is either Lawful Evil or Chaotic Neutral. This is going to be interesting.

Right on. It was difficult cos I didn't have lotsa names of dudes to drop. Then I figures, this isn't the kinda guy that drops lotsa names of dudes. This is the kinda guy that rolls up to your house and tells you, "tell Angel that you saw Rabbit, and Rabbit's running. He'll understand."

Did you roll that on Invisible Castle? If not you gotta use that for rolls and post a link. DM says so.

Maybe Beeler will have you reroll with Invisible Castle then, he did state early on that all rolls were to be done through IC. Maybe you can roll better this time!

meh...I'm good.


Wow, I drop offline for ONE day to work, and look what happens!
You guys are postin' FOOLS!

Love the concepts I'm seeing, Can't wait to read all the fluff.
NOW, If I can only find what I need to get STARTED on mine! sheesh!

While I want to play psionics, (since I never have,) I also noted the distinct lack of a spellcaster, coincidentally my favorite type of class to play!

(Sigh), maybe a caster/Psi combo? With delusions of grandeur for future Avingion/Dragon King-Dom?

Try as I might, I can NOT seem to find a source which lists all of the DS starting goodness in one place! (I really need to get my Dragons out of storage!)

Can anyone help me?!? I couldn't seem to get the "Dark Sun Character Website" to work for me, do you have to KNOW what your doing and just put it in? Or did I not operate it right?!?

ANY help is appreciated, I want to hurry and NOT hold you all up!

Thank you!
