lol Don't let the name or profile fool you...
well for the most part :)I play fair though, letting the dice fall where they
may, but I prefer to balance things out. To me it's a
game of constant tweaking and correcting.
Just getting dotted up. Rin is in the process of recreation. I re-read his old thread and he spent a vast amount of time failing Athletics checks and nearly frying Ghetto's pc. Whatever else he has, he's taking a climbing kit.

lol Excellent :)
Yea I checked him out as well, I liked the background, not sure if you're planning to keep it the same, but thats cool with me, make any changes or keep it as you like.Evil has spoken.
He's the same bloke. Just slightly better equipped and probably with different powers, since Arcane Power came out since I built him.

Yea that could give you some nice options to add to him.
I hoping to start this adventure by Wednesday at the latest,
but if something comes up, just let me know and I'll be more
then happy to work with you all. I've just gotta make sure
that I have all my map editing stuff together, everything else
is all set to go.
Just saw your alias Ghetto, thanks a lot, I appreciate the filling out of the details. Btw got your email, thanks again :)

Sweet. Bmars3, did you decide on what
type of striker you want to play?
I'll aim to get Rin in his new form sorted and online later today.

Excellent, Rosey. Let me know if you have any questions.
Rough version of Rin. Still subject to tweaking re powers, but basically there. Some of the stats are in the profile and there's a link to iPlay4e for the rest.
As always, I've managed to choose a non-optimal race for him, but it just feels right that he's a half-elf.
Optimal, schloptimal. I'd rather you play
whatever you like or feel right about. I
find it's more enjoyable that way :)
Looks good so far.
So, it looks like this game's lost it's fighter, but got a bard. I certainly can't replace him, but maybe the net effect would be positive.
I'll give you a dollar if you play a defender instead.

Just saw his post, yea that would mean no fighter. Up to you all, I'll either roll with it, or modify some of the adventure, but it could be rough for you all.
EDIT: Hey, bmars, you wouldn't happen to want to play some type of defender, would you? Otherwise, I'll just switch from my skald idea to something else. Maybe a warden...
He said so in the recruitment thread. Which you've just posted in. Making this post obsolete.So, it looks like this game's lost it's fighter, but got a bard. I certainly can't replace him, but maybe the net effect would be positive.What happened to Xabulba? Did he say something about not playing? I know he hasn't posted in the OCC yet, but he did say he wanted to be a minotaur fighter.
Yea I edited my post. Do you know what class you want to play, Davi?

Like I said in the recruitment thread(and in my edit), I want to go with a bard, but if we don't get a proper defender I'll switch over to some variety of Warden and go with a different background.

lol I posted that before your edit I believe :)
Bard sounds good to me, but if you go Warden, which Ithink no one else is gonna be a defender, then that
would probably work out best. Ultimately your call.
Stick with your bard Davi. I'll bite the Defender bullet.
Sorry I haven't got my char up yet.
Been a hell of a weekend.
I will have it up tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
I had about half of it typed in the other night, but the boards ate it. So I have to start from scratch.

NP Chozyn, it happens. If it helps I have a 4e layout for my characters in PBP games, if you want use them as templates. Hope it was a good "hell of a weekend", I had a good one too :)
@Rosey: Thanks for biting the bullet with the defender choice, it will definitely help the party.
bmars3, do you know which class you're
going to play?
I will go defender, not a problem, that way everyone gets what they had planned since I had no definite plan.

Sweet, bmars3.
So this should be the party then:TheChozyn-Human Warlord
Ghettowedge- Dwarven Warlock
Rosey- Half-elven Wizard
Bmars3- Defender
Davi- Human Bard
Rin. Now pretty much an illusion specialist. Still extremely likely to fall off things, but he's got some kit that may help a bit. He's complete in iPlay4e, less so in the profile, but I'm working on that - admittedly rather slowly.

Np, Rosey. Having your character complete in the profile is mostly in case I need to run them for a turn or two, since I can't access iPlay4e at work...well not completely at least.
Btw Rosey, what do you mean by "extremely likely to fall off things?", I'm not sure I follow.

Penalty to Strength, and thus Athletics.
Also, still working on my character, but I'm going to be at least one step closer to getting a DDI subscription tonight and I'll probably be done by tomorrow.

Good deal, Davi, you still have time since I wanted to start by Wednesday, plus with DDI you can make a character super quick. Other then that I just need to see Chozyn's and Bmars3 characters and then we're all set.
Davi is right. The low Strength doesn't help, but really it's more that
historically he had a horrible record with Athletics checks as well. His first adventure nearly ended when he failed a lot of checks bouncing down a cliff-face on the end of a rope.

lol ah I see now :)
I have had some similar luck with athletics as well.In my first 4e game I played (surprise surprise) a paladin.
In the final encounter with Kalariel, our dragonborn fighter
managed to fall down into the pit before we had finished the
previous encounter, so we had to stage a rescue mission to get
him. I tried to climb down the blood soaked chains to get to our
friend, but failed miserably, sending my noble paladin heroically
into the pit of blood at the bottom. It actually worked out though,
surpisingly enough.
I should be finished with everything but about half of my equipment. (Also, the owl familiar is technically a raven, but the owl's bonuses were more appropriate than the raven's. Hope you don't mind.)

Not at all, I've run into that as well when choosing a familiar. Whichever fits your concept best.
Chozyn and Bmars3: Just wanted to check to see if you'll
be able to have your characters ready by Wednesday. Let
me know if you need more time, but I would really like to
get started by then.
Not a problem, I'll copy and paste from Char Builder once completed tonight.

Awesome man, thank you :)
If you could, when you have sometime, put thebonuses/dmg/stats for powers, feats, etc I would
appreciate that too. I just need enough in case
I need to run your character for a turn.
Other then that I'm all set to run the adventure
on Wednesday.
My pbp character profiles are pretty detailed as you can see from my other aliases.

Oh yea, lol sorry bmars3, I forgot you play Flint :)
And yes I agree.
Slowly implementing the profile. Will put more of it up today, but good to go.
I was just called back to work, to start tomorrow. That means I will have no time to post, since I go straight to a f2f game after work. I am still 100% set to play, but Wednesdays will be out as long as I'm working.

Awesome to hear that! Don't worry in the slightest about it, ghetto, I'm pretty happy to hear you're being called back, thats definitely a good thing :)
As for Weds, I will open up the ICC and set up the intro, post when you can, but as long as you let me know in advance that you can't post, thats all the courtesy I need.
Chozyn: Just need a confirmation from you and we're good to go.
Thanks.
Just a quick heads up, I'll be posting the
ICC later on today since ghetto can't
really post today and give Chozyn and Bmars3
some time to finish up their characters.
Chozyn: Hows your character coming along?
Let me know if you have any questions.
Sorry, been one of those weeks.
My fiance and I were gifted a house by a relative, and the work has become more then we both had bargained for.
I regretfully will be unable to partake in your game like I thought I could.
I'm really sorry

It's ok, Chozyn, I understand your situation.
Are you able to post at all, or do you need tobow out? Either way, if you decide to come back,
you're more then welcome to.
Bmars3, Rosey, Ghetto, and Davi:I'll be starting
the game later on today, I'll just make the adjustments
for a party of 4. If anyone else joins in later, I'll
write them in. Let me know if their are any other issues.
Adding a new player to make the party
five again, friend of mine from way
back. So now the party consists of:
Jason- Elven? Ranger or Barbarian
Ghettowedge- Dwarven Warlock
Rosey- Half-elven Wizard
Bmars3- Defender?
Davi- Human Bard
Looking forward to this very much :)
