I was thinking about getting into the 4E with a quick little adventure where a few players make evil characters following 4E guidelines. Players can choose a Drow, Minotaur, Goblin, Kobold, Hobgoblin, Orc, Gnoll, or Bugbear.
I was thinking about setting up a town, and having the group infiltrate and destroy the place for the loot. It might expand from there, who knows. First six to respond are in.
I wouldn't mind jumping in on this one, sounds interesting.
I have never played 4E before, and don't intend to get the books. I don't suppose I could try this out? It would be tough, of course, since I don't have the rulebooks and would need help. Is there a site for 4E like d20srd?
Tieren is in. KC, I can give you required info if you want, to help you build a character. What are you interested in?
I've been hoping to find a 4E pbp. I'm in, if you want.
DM:
At any rate, I'm in.
Awesome, we have four.
Give me your preference on character. I will need class, also. I like the idea, KC go ahead with it. For level, let's start at one. For the raid, I will provide you a few NPC friends, but it will most likely be constructed like the Pathfinder's Sandpoint Raid: you will have your own skirmishes as fighting occurs around you. From here, let's see what happens. Eventually you may be level 30, and becoming a demigod. :)
KC - Kobold (duh)
Ubermench - ?
Davi - ?
Tieren - ?
DM:
I'll get to work on my character soon.
I'm probably going to go with a Drow Warlock, assuming we would have a reasonably balenced party with him in it. If we need anything other than a leader, I'll be glad to change the character.
Davi and KC, go ahead, I like the ideas. Ubermench, what do you mean "any guidelines" A bugbear archer is fine. I have no house rules. Mainly because I'm as new as you guys to this.
Good. Just one problem. I have put off getting the Monster Manuel for as long as possible, so I don't actually don't know anything about the Drow stats besides the +2 Dex +2 Cha, and vauge ideas about the race abilitys. Any help in that regard would help.
Drow:
Average Height: 5'4" - 6'10"

Darkfire: Range 10.Int+2 vs. Reflex. Until end of next turn, all attacks vs. target have combat advantage, and target gets no bonus from invis. or conceal.
Okay, great Rumblefish. I need to know the stats for sorcerers and kobolds in 4E. Again, a website like d20srd.org that deals with 4E would be great.

Which ones of those are trained only? Or do they not have that in 4E? Do I start out with the book? Or do I buy it?

Davi and KC, go ahead, I like the ideas. Ubermench, what do you mean "any guidelines" A bugbear archer is fine. I have no house rules. Mainly because I'm as new as you guys to this.
By guidelines I meant House rules and also beginning stats generation, roll 3d6 ,4d6 or 22pt buy.
I got every thing I needed to know from the other posts. Thanks anyway.
I'll work up my Character tonight after I get home and post it to you.
Alright, here's an imcomplete version of my drow warlock. Two questions, though.
1. What system of stat generation are we using?
2. Any decent drow-sounding names you know of? I generally suck at coming up with names.

Where are you getting these stats from? I can't find them or the Bugbear's stats in either the PHB or MM. I have the basic stats like size weight and so on but what are the bonus' to ability scores, skills and the racial special ability for bugbears?
The very end of the MM, page 276

Cool names... ugg, not my forte..
Was sort of toying with ideas and I was wondering about the gnoll info that came out on the D&D site about playing gnolls. it's got feats and such for them specifically, any chance I can use that info?

can't open the page, but go ahead, basically anything goes in my campaigns.
alright well it's a short pdf that I can email to anyone if they want it, it basically gives race flavor/feats. I'll let you know what I decide to use.

go ahead
Found a Drow Name Generator:
Got room for another?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure we still have two spots.

I'll have the rest of the sheet up later.
EDIT: Thanks for the link to the random name generator!
Here is a good 4.0 character generator , it isn't perfect, you will manually need to enter the weapon proficiencies bonus' and it dosn't list the powers abillitys, but still better than most.
Here's what I got so far.
Aside from the bonus feat, I get one other right?
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I'm done. Tell me what you think, Fish.
Here's what I got so far.

Yes you do.
Alright, my character sheet is finally done.
Alright, I draw the line at six.
Davi, KC, and Ubermench have characters.
GM Victory, Dax Thura, and Tieren need to finish.
Alright, making IC and OOC. Look under "4E Evil"
Working on a Gnoll Rogue, should be done shortly
Awesome. I like the gnoll rogue idea. Should be interesting, I do love rogues.

Something this group won't be very balenced. Eh, at least we'll kill stuff fast. :)
