We have a ton of great characters here and I honestly have had a very tough time choosing the group. Thanks to all of you for putting your characters up for submission and I hope that there are other people thinking of starting a game so that you'll all get the chance to play them! But I had to choose five characters, trying for a party with some degree of balance. With that, here's who I'm going with:
-Trevor the Yellow (Dreaming Warforged) It's a horror themed campaign and having a character with a strong fear theme (that he can eventually triumph over when that immunity to fear comes in) was a selling point for me.
-Arasmes (lovelydwarf) This was a decision of mostly having a background that really appealed to me more than a matter of class choice. Maybe we can tune him a bit- an oracle of lore may be a good choice depending on the mysteries you choose or an aberrant sorcerer if you would prefer that. Or if you really like the Heavens mystery, we can go with that too.
- Alison Crane (Jormungandr) Either as alchemist, bard or witch- I assume we can fine tune her to work best with the rest of the group. The changeling race has grown on me and I think she can be an asset to the group no matter which class you pick.
- Gareth Hillen or Luka Katic (Billzabub) I like both concepts and both alchemist and magus are classes I've never seen in play before, so I'll let you think about what you'd rather play and what would be best for the group.
-Evelyn Stormbow (PrinceofDarkness) Given how many back rank characters we have in the group, I think going for a second warrior with stealth and investigative skills is a good idea and Evelyn (who is pretty no-nonsense) can be the "bad cop" to Trevor's "good cop".
If this were a typical game, I would want to take a more focused healer type but I think the horror aspect may be helped along by having the healing abilities spread out among multiple characters.
Again, thanks to everyone for putting together such great characters: it's been really tough choosing between all of them!
Grats to those who got in. If a spot..."opens up"...let me know. *Evil laugh*
:P
Have a great game!
