i think i will try a human ninja w/ the advanced template. if you feel the need to beef the template up, go ahead. (tis the bestiary template w/ +4 to each stat) female, japanese style flavor, described as being half yokai (which explains her heightened attributes, eternal youth, and minor sensory powers) she will appear to look like a child of 12 years (even though she is 1331 years old and unnaffected by age), wear a black winter weight kimono, and her primary weapon of choice is a pair of retractable spring loaded daggers. (dagger stats) her kimono contains pockets inside the sleeves, she is cold, sadistic, playful, calculating, calm, and a little paranoid. her smile is perpetual, her eyes are a golden color, each eye having 2 slit like pupils.
but kyrt, i need you to send me your ninja adaption.
the advanced template is the quick template that adds +4 to every stat for +1 ecl. a minor sensory ability would be nice to add to it. such as darkvision. throwing in a free feat for the template should be enough.
if the advanced template isn't strong enough with +4 to every stat, i reccomend adding these changes
add darkvision +1 extra feat of player choice.
Dotted.
kyrt, are you on?
I am, digging up that ninja class right now actually.
What's up Neko?
woke up recently, and have got started on rough draft 3 for backstory. it may not be a very good one that makes sense, but it's not that bad. just a little "borrowed"
Kurt, could you shoot me an email with that as well please?
Email is
*Adds post to show interest*
I should only have to bump this character up a couple of levels (And re-arrange the stats ;) ) to fit.
Much cheers to all.

Cool, good to know. I had so much fun with the 3.0 version of Meera.
*Runs hands together*
Okay, real life getting in the way, so Meera wont be available for viewing until some time late Friday my time (Sometime Thursday for those on the other side of the world).
Wait...'Windows Live Messenger'? What's that?
Sorry I'm a bit of a Tech-Luddite. :(
Cheers!
i really don't want to replicate an existing role, i think i will go with a Ronin (mechanically fighter) instead. i realized that i already have a ninjaesque pc in another pbp and 2 versions of the same character would be hard to track. i will keep the race the same (as kyrt worked so hard to make it)

But who will teach me all that I know? *flies over to Meera* Hi, can we be friends?
kyrt, would you allow a variant of the dervish dance feat that works with the katana instead of the scimitar?
All software is installed, and My Live ID is also my email address, he he.
Okay, once the things installed....how do I turn it on...? :/
Okay, once the things installed....how do I turn it on...? :/
Click on Start => All Programs => Windows Live => Windows Live Messenger. Note this is for Win XP OS
Windows Live Messenger should have a button somewhere in your start panel (I'm assuming you use a PC, since normally only the tech people have Mac's), and a little silhouette of a green person in the icons on the bottom right of your screen.
Nope. I got nuthin'......
Yes I am using a PC.
Once you sign into Windows Live Messenger, MSN plus should start on it's own and run you through setup. (You may need to re-download the dice rolling script if you hadn't had MSN plus installed and running before you downloaded it, but you won't know for sure until you get it running and try rolling dice)
When I find how to turn it on, then I'll figure out this next bit...
Where's the actual "Press this to start application"? I can install the thing, but there's nothing else I can find.
Sorry, just way too much hassle to get into that thing/get it working. I'm out.
Hope every one has fun. :) *waves*
I worked a little on my character. i gave her a younger sister that is to level as everyone else does, right now, she is like a free non combat hireling, but may become a replacement character should her older sister die in battle. this here is the alt. it has 2 ecl 2 characters statted up, (that may be upped later according to upped party ecl)
i figured out how the dice roller works thanks to kyrt.
She checks out pretty well Neko. I hadn't really planned on using traits, but we'll see what the others think.
Also, what time(s) are best for you?
these are all in the pacific (california) time zone
almost any day except thursday and saturday. usually any time after 2ish in the afternoon to about 10ish. if i have a special errand, i will post in this thread.
saturdays, i would have to finish before 3 to get ready to leave at 4 for whole night
thursdays i have to start after 4-6ish (depending on errands) as i have appointments that end at 330ish in the afternoon
fridays i have to start after 2-3ish in the afternoon as before that, i am out of the house for lunch with my grandmother, which i do every friday. we rotate who pays. but tis a time where grandma yells at me less.
my pc takes forever to load (even with top end AT&T internet).
Also, what time(s) are best for you?
The evenings are the best time, I get home from work at 5pm PST and work Monday through Friday so that would work. Saturday and sunday morning are good, but afternoons are tricky bacuse of family stuff, and doing errands
Kyrt, i know we collaberated on a race before. but i found the perfect middleground. Tis balanced enough for +0 CR and needs no racial hit dice any longer. i find it much more flavorful (and fitting) than a human with 1 outsider hit dice and +8 worth of stat bonuses. tis not a niche race either. it may be a little suboptimal, but the race was not an attempt to minmax. though it does make a fine ninja or swordsage.
So, do we have a character roster yet, Kurt?
So, do we have a character roster yet, Kurt?Not a full roster (er, at least, we aren't full yet lol, though we have enough to play)
So far we have...
A Paladin of Zodal
A Stealth Pseudo-dragon (either Ninja or Rogue, I'll get you those classes soon Pinky, sorry it's taking so long, my grandpa's been in the hospital for the last week or two, and just died this morning. It's been a hectic time.)
And....
A cat-girl 'Ronin' who's likely going with fighter but may use a different melee focused class.
We've got three potential slots left, and I have to warn you guys I don't think the Paladin's going to be doing much healing, so just keep that in mind, and feel free to invite anybody that comes to mind as a potential player.
heres the alias for the catgirl ronin's younger NPC sister. (A.K.A. the tagalong child) the one i have arranged with Kyrt for Kyrt to control.
my above post lists an NPC that Kyrt Approved on msn messenger beforehand. he will control her actions in combat. but i will roplelay her out of combat on this particular alias (on Kodachi Nekogami). i also have control over the vital statitistics of said npc. (feats, class levels, ability increases, skill points, etc) i posted as said alias to provide Kyrt with a legible copy of her stats.
Ok guys, I'm finishing up the last of the mechanical stuff as we speak. It would be great if you would all introduce yourselves (your OOC selves as roleplayers, how you tend to play, things like that), and tell a bit about your characters.
Well this will be interesting, he he.
Here goes. I am 40 years old, and I have been doing this dnd dtuff since I was a child. (yeah, late 70's, he he) I have played all the editions of DnD all the way from Basic, through 4E. If you want to see the kind of RP I like, just click on my profile and check out some of the characters in the PbP games I am in. i am in quite a few, he he. I have even dipped my toe in DMing a solo adventure for a newbie on the boards.
I have to warn you though, I do get into *ahem* 'mature' themes at times, so be forewarned, he he.
Somewhat mature is cool, just try not to go all X rated lol. (I don't mind things going clear up to the point of rape or whatever being in the game, just generally speaking without player consent that kind of stuff stays off-screen you know)
10-4, not a problem. Good thing i'm playing a pseudodragon, he he.
i'm 21 and actually male, have played D&D since i was about 17-18ish, i have done freeform rp since i was about 10 or so. my freeform days were full of characters i am still attached to today and munchkins that i disliked. most of which could destroy multiverses by snapping thier fingers. i have gone through a few groups. i exxagerrate embelished stories at my saturday dms expense, many poke fun at his closed mindedness. i enjoy anime/manga/wuxia/action movies. my favorite anime is still Cardcaptor Sakura. i like my characters a little exotic, or at least alternately interpreted. such as catgirl ronins. even though i have had mostly hack and slash groups. i like there to be a balance of combat and roleplay. i abandoned gaia online about 5 years ago. after the "hide or die" situations increased from bimonthly to daily. my current character for this particular game is a catgirl ronin. i prefer the asian cultures over the european ones. (especially japan, china, persia etc)
i like the asian cultures too, only because i am asian haha (japanese)
you are so lucky. i wish i was japanese. too bad i'm a white american. america has 2 thriving cultures. the geek, and some modernized variant of the rogue. instead of the Grey Mouser, we got stuck with Snoop Dogg as our Iconic "Rogue." what a disgrace to fantasy literature everywhere. Typical Americans do little unless it is a means to aqcuire thier next meal.

I beg to differ. I practice martial arts, use of the halberd and bow, and I know a thing or two about survival out in the elements. I'm hardly an archetype(Or typical, I guess...), but I do more than what it takes to get my next meal.
I would like to join you guys, but I unfortunately don't have enough time to play in a non pbp game. Have fun!
sorry for my comment.
