I want to play a PBPS and want to know the ground rules, character design etc...However my concern is the time factor..should all persons be on same time zone say Mondays at 6:00 PM eastern time US, or does it go like this DM Doe: "Roll to Hit the goblin"...Then you have to wait 4 days for Drizzts to attack the golblin" before any other action could take place...
Btw-I viewed your characters-how do you get the page format like that!
Hmm, well with Kruelaid vouching for you...do you have the Dragon where they did the Dark Sun rules?

What issue?
What issue?
Got it!Had to go to garage in the freezing cold to gets it Damn it's cold out!
I'll read this over...What classes and Races are needed?
I can send you my character sheet in a plain old notepad file. Editing it is a nightmare because of the BBcodes, though. Time zone and sleeping habits really don't matter. As long as a guy checks in and updates once a day it's fine.
In the DS pbp some of us post 5-10 times a day, so we tend to dominate the game a little, which sucks. But everyone has their good days.
Beeler's DS campaign is nasty and we are playing some seriously f!@*ed characters.

How do you get the character sheet to look like that!
I'll email it to you in a txt file if you want to see.
I did it with BBcodes during a bout of insomnia, you can only see why it looks like that if you see the original input text.

Ok My profile been updated to include my e-mail...
As far as character goes I want a Half Giant BarbarianHis name Mormo Mok if it allowed
if not perhaps a Dwarf fighter
MWbeeler let me know what to do next...It's 4am and well I goes to sleepy now I'll check in tomorrow. I heard of invisible castle how do you do ability scores by point buy or rolls then add in Racial bonuses etc...
I think “socially awkward” is a nice way of spinning it. The party “face” is a narcissist with a chip on his shoulder a mile wide.
32 Point Buy on stats.
We use single group initiative for combat, so feats that modify initiative may be of interest to you. Each player has 3 action points to spend.
5th level equivalent PC’s (after level adjustments). Don’t bother picking out gear.
A little background will go a long way; the majority of the adventure will take place in Raam.
At least one post per day would be great.
As for time zones, don't worry about it. I am Eastern (Detroit) here, but I work nights, so I tend to be awake from 10 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Love to have you along for the ride if you are interested; I’ll work you in somehow after I check out the back-story.
What Beeler is saying is we REALLY need someone with social skills. Diplomacy, bluff. Feats like Persuasive, trustworthy, alluring. We can lay on the hurt real bad already.
Our "face" is a 7 foot, LE fighter with a level in binder who basically hates all of us, and the only reason he's around is because we haven't killed him yet. He has 6 levels in intimidate, and that is it. CHA 6, 8, we've got them coming out of our asses.
You post a lot so you can make the best of this kind of character. The chatter back and forth amongst the party members is usually pretty acidic and someone who mellows everyone out is really needed.
This is my face for a Planescape pbp, she's the party slut/diplomat.
And yah, a female would really get things going in this campaign and would probably open doors forever closed to a stinking, flea infested lot like us. Our only female PC is a nervous bird-lady played by Valegrim.
That's just to tell you what we lack, not tryin to compel you cuz hey, we all understand that you gotta do the PC that's callin out to you.
32 Point Buy on stats. Each player has 3 action points to spend.What do they buy?
5th level equivalent PC’s (after level adjustments)..
It seems some character sheet information details are way over the top, do I have to detail every ability with spoilers therein copying a entire SRD into my character profile, the weight of each Item, and the
listing of every skill and power or can it be a little toned down and abbrevated
Can I use a PHB instead of SRD
A little background will go a long way; the majority of the adventure will take place in Raam.[ooc]Is the party evil?
So the party is need of what exactly? a plastic surgeon and therapist;)( Can you give me Class or Race suggestion-)
You said do not worry about equipment, am I scantly clad with a lioncloth and shawl on?
Been working on some of my character design, however need to know the questions in my above post before doing more! This is gonna take me days to complete!
Marada Bhelu'Ara Maenad female sorcereress...32 point buy is based of 8 for each ability I take it. 22 charisma is 18+4 Racial(This will mostly cause much distraction due to her goddess like beauty?
12 str+racial bonus-
I'll have more questions and I am very overwhelmed at the moment on this concept!
Sure, invisible castle should be fine. Somewhere in the discussion thread there is a link to a Dark Sun character generator as well.
Fourth, or possibly less depending on race.
Generally, I could care less how much stuff weighs, unless you are trying to put a braxat into your pack. If you just want to put the names of the abilities, I can look them up in the SRD if I find one with which I’m not familiar. The PHB and the SRD ought to be pretty close.
The party is generally neutral, but a few of them are evil, yes, so if you go paladin you might run into trouble, though not for long (that’s less ominous than it sounds).
Play what makes you happy, and don’t worry about doubling up what the already have. If they need anything, I’d say either more psionics, a smooth talker, or some type of backup healer.
Everyone started naked, but I have plans for you. Muahahahha. Let’s just say, no need to pick out any equipment.
Maenad, sweet. Just so you know, I've set sorcerers to defiler by default. It's mostly cosmetic until you want to do something "outside the rules" with your spells, but it may change the way others react to you.
Hey, is there room for one more? If so, I might like to join, but if anyone else wants to, I can step aside.

Mine certainly is.
Just trying to keep important rules close cuz I post from the office a lot and I don't have any books there.
BTW, Beeler let us roll out stats if we want and its a pretty juicy roll.

Hey little newt guy. He's replacing a guy who left. We've got 12 PCs. That might be a negative.
Do I have to have psionics?cuz I'm not a fan, and don't have books on psionics-I can finnish the character and Mwbeeler you could give me the Psionic powers, fitting for my pc...
*The +1 level adj for race did I have hitpoints before I select a class?or do I just have 3hit die (+1 level adj is a reflection of what?
Do I have weapons and armor?
What am I wearing?
Do I have Money?
Bumped because I have questions! see above post..

We started naked. Maybe Beeler will deem to give you a nighty so that we don't eat you immediately.
I'm sure he'll take care of you, dude.

As for psi, if you play a human you get the following. Read the SRD rules about psionics and pay careful attention to the part about concentration.
3 Power Points: Inertial Armor (ML 4 DC 13 Charisma based)
Inertial Armor
- Psychokinesis
- Level: Psion/wilder 1, psychic warrior 1
- Display: Visual; see text
- Manifesting Time: 1 standard action
- Range: Personal
- Target: You
- Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
- Power Points: 1; see text
Your mind generates a tangible field of force that provides a +4 armor bonus to Armor Class. Unlike mundane armor, inertial armor entails no armor check penalty or speed reduction. Because inertial armor is composed of psychokinetic force, incorporeal creatures can’t bypass it the way they do normal armor.
Your inertial armor can be invisible or can appear as a colored glow, at your option.
The armor bonus provided by inertial armor does not stack with the armor bonus provided by regular armor.
- Augment
For every 2 additional power points you spend, the armor bonus to Armor Class increases by 1.
Okay Now what?(Marada Bhelu'Ara) I used that random Generator thing mad it a lot easier! Look at my profile!
This my character is it lacking or should I remove things? Grodogs Ayyup!
I know I working on a background now...
My knowledge of Dark Sun is like "Hey cool pictures...looks like Mad max+D&D=Crazy Fun!!!!
Yah, so you're a maenad, wtf is your psionic power?
As usual, ignore useless post above.

Heh heh...about my knowledge; I read those paperbacks a long time ago...
Oh, and just to warn ya--Eldritch Mr. Shiny's character, Radik, is a reeeeeeeel dickweed. He's like Jane from Firefly without any endearing qualities. Don't take it personal-like...we don't (most of the time).
I think the DM disallowed interparty bloodjobs, or he would've killed one or two of us then gotten boot partied and eaten.
It seems they have no inborn powers.
Hey Tobus, don't forget synergy on those social skills, all of them are basically +2 because of each other.
I thought they had a sonic attack once a day(?) I could be wrong.
Yah he's got it on his sheet.
5 foot 4, 165 lbs.
Man, she's a fat one.

I have no clue how psi work-you want me to cut and past that into my sheet...hope this does not bring out Angry Kruelaid...
Nah that inertial armour is for humans. According to Dragon 319 you have no inborn psi, just that sonic thing.
Hey little newt guy...
'Little newt guy'?...I'm going to forget about why I came here, and back away slowly...

I'm working on a pbp and I'd love to have you, but I ain't ready to announce it yet, probably in March.
just that sonic thing.
I cannot find what you speak of page #?please
5 foot 4, 165 lbs.
Man, she's a fat one.
Not anymore, she's a freakin goddess!
Xpanded Psi HB:
Maenad base land speed is 30 feet.
Naturally Psionic: Maenads gain 2 bonus power points
at 1st level. This benefi t does not grant them the ability
to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through
another source, such as levels in a psionic class.
Psi-Like Ability: 1/day—energy ray. A maenad can deal only
sonic damage with this ability. It is accompanied by a tremendous
scream of rage. Manifester level is equal to 1/2 Hit
Dice (minimum 1st). The save DC is Charisma-based.
Outburst (Ex): Once per day, for up to 4 rounds, a maenad
can subjugate her mentality to gain a boost of raw physical
power. When she does so, she takes a –2 penalty to Intelligence
and Wisdom but gains a +2 bonus to Strength.
Automatic Languages: Common, Maenad. Bonus Languages:
Aquan, Draconic, Dwarven, Elven, Goblin. Maenads
commonly know the languages of their enemies and of
their friends, as well as Draconic, the language commonly
found in ancient tomes of secret knowledge.
Favored Class: Wilder.
LA +0
For DS campaigns the Dragon guidelines make following changes:
Automatic Languages: Maenadi, Elven
Ability Bonuses: CHA +4, STR +2
LA +1
Where is the Balic area near on the Dark Sun Map-This the map I'm looking at;Trying to work on a background...
That LA +1 means you have one too many character levels.
That LA +1 means you have one too many character levels.
Take one away? You cats need to be more clear?Mwbeeler said level 5 at this post opening spoiler?4+1LA
