Color me interested. I could put together a 3.5 character in hero lab that looks and feels "old school." Let me know if I should begin working on it!? :)
Interested. I have a 3.0 book "magic" with nice options if that is allowed.
Should I start putting together my character concept for this then?

I'll refresh myself in 3.5, and I'll put something together. Interested in this adventure, in fact, I passed a selection a couple month ago, but the game died.
This is the calculator that I used.
Here's the rough draft of my character:
** spoiler omitted **It's a very nice calculator.
That character looks great! I'd like to have some fluff about it too, but I figure it's incoming.
No power attack, though? I don't know if you'll need it 100%, but it's kinda customary for barbarians to take it.
I've never been one to adhere to custom ;)
If he survives to 6th level, I s'pose he could take it then.
As for the fluff, how much do you need?
I'll be a caster, either mid or full. It'll be thursday before I can check my other books, but out of core I'd take sorcerer.
We've got a barb and possible sorc. I'd be fine playing a cleric, if no one else has that dog-eared for themselves.
you taking more than four? If so I would be interested. was thinking Warlock or Dread Necromancer.
you taking more than four? If so I would be interested. was thinking Warlock or Dread Necromancer.I very well might take five people. You'll be cut back on loot & XP a little bit, but I suspect you'll be fine, regardless.
I'd rather have a warlock than a dread necro, to be honest. Minionmancery is a small pet peeve of mine.
well, if it helps, i tend to go for utility mounts (horses that never sleep OH YEAH) but i will put together a warlock. no one ever complained about those guys being powerful, haha
or Warmage sounds fun...
Wow, I was just thinking about how I miss parts of 3.5. I do have a soft spot for playing clerics, but someone else already called that and it seems like the core base of the party is coming together well, so I would like to throw an elven rogue into the ring, maybe multi-classed with ranger to give it a bit more combat ability (thinking a bounty hunter or dungeon delver type character).
As for the fluff, how much do you need?
Enough that it helps you aid the character. It's a published adventure, but if you put in a plot hook or two, it could be interesting to reference that somewhere.
Since it's very probable that the four of you are the ones who get to play, maybe work out how you know each other, and what your relationships are with the other characters before game start? That one is best done together, though.
Initial thoughts:
Wiclas is an exile, cast out by his people as a teenager because of violent outbursts (the forerunners of his rage ability). He doesn't make friends easily, but the ones he does have he cherishes. Which is why he's in Elsir Vale - to aid a comrade wronged by the Night Hag.
It's a little thin, but maybe it'll spark something for someone else.

Actually Tara, I'm going to back out of this recruitment, as I don't think I'm going to have the time/resources available to devote to it. So, please, by all means, make that cleric!
Sorry to withdraw, I hope everybody has a lot of fun!

Hey there, I'm thinking on a ranger archer, perhaps able to swith for two-handed if Wiclas need help.
What means Interest is closed?
Mmmh, that makes me remember about the swift huter, a mix with scout and ranger, with a feat the blends them sweetly. It can make an excelent skillmonkey and perhaps even better at archery than a single ranger.
If you don't have anything against that build (perhaps a bit too optimized for your tastes) it will cover that missing role, and still being totally what I want.
On the other case, an archer bard can do the trick, and with already a couple melee fighters, give some yummy bonuses.
As a side note: In your last post, there was 34 ability points, it is a typo or it is that good? (32 being the standard)
Unexpected christmas family stuff, sorry for taking so long. I work tons next week so the family decided to have christmas early during my days off this week.
In any case, I have something to check into tonight during my shift, if that concept is bust I'll be a battlesorcerer.
(if you're wondering, I work security, so extra hours when everyone else goes home. Also, fair opportunity to post and such at work)
I'm gonna jump out of this one. Digging around in 3.5, I find the ideas I really want to go with won't fit well with the theme and tone of this game. (kinda still find myself really wanting to play Dread Necromancer, haha)
yeah, I've made the mistake before of trying to shoehorn my character idea into a game it doesnt fit in, and it doesnt end up well so i figured i'd drop out of the running.
Ok, then, here's my preliminary work.
Still need to get a backstory together.
Just checking in to let everyone know I'm still paying attention to the thread.
Here is Wiclas' hit point roll:
@ 1st level = 15 (Max hit die + 3 Con)
@ 2nd level = 1d12 + 3 Con
@ 3rd level = 1d12 + 3 Con + 3 Imp. Toughness
@ 4th level = 1d12 + 4 Con + 1 Imp. Toughness + 3 retroactive from Con increase
@ 5th level = 1d12 + 4 Con + 1 Imp. Toughness
Edit: The 1 and 3 become 6s, so Wiclas' total hit points are 66 (37 + 8 + 6 + 6 + 9).
Finally decided for a Duskblade, as grimdog will take on the Scout :)
So that makes 4+4+4+7=19+10 from the con =29-> 37 with first level max HP.
Just name and class, but hey, I present you Adam Cielo.
As Wiclas is goint to be "A mountain that rides", I'm thinking on giving him a reach weapon.
Is this still open? I noticed you seem to be missing a rogue, I'd be more than happy to fill that spot if recruiting is still going?
Whoops, I completely missed that. I don't mind playing a divine caster, are you using the greyhawk pantheon?
