Re: Dungeons and Dragons: High Fantasy and Daring Do anyone? :D ALWAYS OPEN

[Book the Hero]

He's about medium height, with short brown hair, and fair skin. His eyes are a lush green. He's slightly skinny, and somewhat scrawny, as well.

I believe he automatically gets Elven as well as Common, so I pick Draconic, Dwarven, and Gnome.

[Cid]

Im in, I will be a Half-Orc Barbarian

[ExtravagantEvil]

Nice!

okay, so I will change the party assistant, and make him a Cleric to launch forth the heals.

Okay, so did you read my first comments on how to build characters?

Reminder:
Roll 4d6, 6 times, best of 3.
Assign them as you choose.

Fort, Will and Reflex saves are based on your Class and appropriate score mods
(Fort = Con, Will = Wisdom, and Ref = Dex)

Base Attack Bonus + Str or Dex + Misc. = To Hit Bonus.

SInce you are a Barbarian this following bit is important:
Damage
Weapon Damage + Str mod (if melee, 1 handed)
Weapon Damage + 1.5 x Str Mod (if wielded 2 handed melee)

Skills:
Points based on Class and Intelligence, ranks = training/practice, and are maxed at Level +3.

Feats: 1 at First level represents a trick that you can pull off that others can't without severe training (I recommend Power Attack for Barbarians)

Alignment: Is more a reminder and guideline to help act as a facilitator for general decision making, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Personality comes first!

and lastly:

Give me a description of this dude? What's he like? Who is he? Backstory, personality, and any details/plot hooks he has written in?

[Book the Hero]

Look like we have a party!

@Evil- How's the world building going?

[ExtravagantEvil]

Pretty good, contribute anything you like, I've got the first real adventure idea lined out, and love it when characters contribute with setting design, lets me really capitalize on fresh ideas.

I'm going to start the OOC and IC threads on Wednesday to make sure whether we can pick up anyone else by just hanging out at the top here , I'm glad we have a Melee man especially, otherwise you guys would have been butchered with no Clerical influence.

I tend to improvise the setting as we move along, and like to play with a morphic setting, if it is required I introduce it, and if I see opportunity to use a world again, I generally do and develop on it further, so if you guys have any thoughts or new ideas on how Elves are perceived, or Orcs, or the Economic stations of cities, any troubles that serve as minor conflicts and add depth to lands and areas, etc.
I am open to all suggestions!

[Book the Hero]

I believe that most of the races should be seen generally equal to one another, although I have an idea where that each race has a few radical racist groups among them, who have started causing more and more trouble lately.

[CodastertheDisaster]

...I miss awesome stuff when I'm gone.

And sadly, my computer committed harakiri and I have none of my char sheets ;-;



Should I get around to rerolling any time soon, I'll join you, numbers permit.

[Book the Hero]

Awesome!

What do you plan on making?

[CodastertheDisaster]

Most likely I'll reroll my ranger. Epsil Tel'nyra, elf.

[Book the Hero]

Ah, cool.

So we'll have a Half-Elf Wizard, a Dwarf Cleric, a Half-Orc Barbarian, and an Elf Ranger.

[CodastertheDisaster]

Scratch that, I found my half-complete Kreen one...That is, if Kreen is allowed.

[Book the Hero]

Kreen?

[CodastertheDisaster]

Bipedal Mantis

They're monstrous humanoids. I'm asking because they have two racial Hit Die and a +1 Level Adjustment that gives level 1 Kreen an Effective Character Level of 4.

[Book the Hero]

Hmm...

I'm not sure if that'd work or not. Better wait for Evil.

[CodastertheDisaster]

's what I'm doin'.
It's also Dark Sun, so, uh...yeah. Otherwise I'm working on Epsil too.

[Book the Hero]

Kay...

Chzka-Zaei is a typical Thri-Kreen adolescent,towering over most humans, at 6'4'', and 300 pounds. He's still not fully-grown, although as large as he is now, he's going to be a massive Kreen later. His exoskeleten in a pale yellow, like most of his kind, and his clothing consists of bandage or cloth tied around him in areas that humans wear clothes over, and grey bandages tied over his face to conceal his mandibles, though he can easily tear through them should he need to bite someone.

Chzka-Zaei is a young Kreen from a far away land, kidnapped by slavers as little more than a larvae. He grew up with the other captured Kreen, some Thri and some Tohr. Once he was big enough to be a threat, he and the few remaining Kreen killed their captors and broke their bonds. However, in the fighting, all of the other Kreen, save for Chzka-Zaei, were killed. He wanders from town to town, trying to desperately to find other Kreen, or at least a place where he isn't mistaken for a monster and assaulted.

[Book the Hero]

.-.

Wow...

[CodastertheDisaster]

Hm...He's more OP then I thought he would be...
I'll remake him, with the level 1 racial class so that he's closer to everyone else.

[Book the Hero]

...That' quite an info dump...

[CodastertheDisaster]

I made .pdf of it, which should be easier to deal with.
I'll post it up here in a sec.

And his name is pronounced

CHIZ KUH ZAH EY

[ExtravagantEvil]

Hello New Person! .
Glad to see interest is picking up and that you know what Dark Sun is!

But Unfortunately, effective character Level of 4 wouldn't really be balanced into comparison to everyone else, so I'm glad you have an Elf Ranger concept, makes life nice and easy for the rest of us . So just post something up, ECL 1, HD 1, nothing too super duper fancy, and be a little more careful about the heady fumes of optimizing, given that this is 1/2 new guys.

I take it you've played before?

Also:
In response to the above

Fa fa fa faah fa fa fa fa faa faa
Run run run, run run run a-waaay.

[CodastertheDisaster]

I haven't played 3.5, but I've played Pathfinder enough to know how stuff works.

And brought it back to the racial class which I think is humanoid unless I did that wrong, however I'll reroll my elf if that's what you prefer.
