Hello Adventurer's,

I'm seeking about 3-4 people to start up a game I've been planning on running with a few twists here and their. Overall you will be an adventuring group traveling from area to area righting the wrongs and troubles of the land. But for now your just your character. So here's the requirements that I'm seeking.

Player Requirements:



  • Need to at least post once every 2-3 days.


  • Needs to post at least five to ten sentences.


  • Needs to ask questions in game or about the game through PM's updates will follow


  • Wants to have a longing last game and seeks to enjoy their character and companions characters


  • Needs to color code their posts.


Should you be able to meet these requirements then please create a level 4 character with a back story. Do not worry about equipment right now.  I want you to make your character and flesh them out first. Since the internet has nearly every single book on DnD in some shape or form I would like the first 4 levels of the character straight out of the primary DnD book.(3.5 Players Handbook, 3.5 DMG, 3.5 Monster Manual) No source books at this time. Once the game has begun source books will be allowed as you level up.

Character Creation Guidelines:

Race: Primary Races and perhaps a monster race for one of you.

Abilities: 5d6 drop the lowest 2

Hit Points: You have maximum Hit Points for the first 4 levels-

Special Roll 2d6 and record the results of the roll and send them to be via PM

Story:
“Ok children quiet down now. It’s time for your story.” You hear an elderly man say. He holds a large leather bound book in his gnarled hand with golden letters on its title. He smiles as his long white beard flows off his face and onto his old brown robes. He rests in a large wooden chair next to a burning fire and he raises his hand to quiet you. “Children I have a grand tale to read to you. It’s about our history on Denraa. It’s a wonderful tale that I’m sure you will enjoy. It’s about how this age of the world came to be. Here you will learn the truth about the Keepers and the Seed that changed the face of Denraa and not the tales your parents told you. Of the trails and hardships these brave few went through and the fate that befell each of them in the end.” He places the book up his lap and opens the cover. “Gather around now so you can all hear me. Our tale will start on Chapter One. The Meeting of the Keepers and their first Adventure. Dammit! Wake up child and pay attention.  Now In the beginning….

Aurora Wayland: It will be a mixture of the two.

NicciKotor: I stated within my first post that you would be 4th level. Gold and gear wasn't listed at the time for character creation reasons.

Chaznia: Good to hear. If you need more information just ask.

Tambit: That's a long time to wait, by that time the game may well be starting.

Aether: No characters have been presented but interest has been shown. Make away

PhantomPistoleer: well what would put you at ease then in regards to the game?

Everyone: For anyone interested in creating a character please send me a PM with the die roll from a 2d6 and it's results in order of the roll please.

Example: I rolled a 3 and a 6 or a 4 and a 5

You're blind. :-)

Besides, you cannot unwrap a present early.

Just throwing my wizard's hat into the ring for this one, so that anyone else thinking of concocting a character knows what the other prospective players are up to in terms of class.

Currently I am trying to make a potent fighter build that combines protective magic to make myself even harder to hit. which limits me to fighter/cleric since arcane magic bites big when you try using magic in armor normally.




Potential pictures to try out

So far it seems things are falling into place rather nicely. If things continue to do so we can have something up and running by Monday. Till then I would like to work with you all and get any other questions answered. So far we have the following group.

Monk
Cleric
Fighter Hybrid
WIZARD
5th person ?

Knowing this I would like to point out that all of you will not be starting out with one another, you will all meet one another but starting out its just you me and the world.

If other players wish to express interest in joining this game please send me a PM and I will see what I can do for you.

Laughing Hyena

Kind of hit a brick wall  in my hybrid. I do not know whether or not I should pick cleric or mage. The point of the powers of a mage or cleric class is support spells that increase ac and strength.

Crovonovin

It might be a bit early to actually make them into a hybrid at level four.  Your best bet might be to take four levels of Cleric (more combat oriented than Nicci's healer, which is how I presume she's built hers).  Outfit it as you would a fighter (full-plate, two-hander, feats that complement a damage-fighter), with a balance between Strength, Constitution, and Wisdom.  Then begin taking levels in fighter once you feel you need to get access to some more juicy feats.

That's my two cents anyway!  You could just as easily follow that same advice and do any combination of Fighter/Cleric.  Not really sure how well a fighter would mesh with a casting class.  I think the benefits would be overshadowed by the detriments, as fighters already stand on somewhat shaky ground in this edition.

Zaer Darkwail

Hmmm, never tire out join DnD games and hope they keep going longer than month or two.....okay I toss in my rogue dagger and join in as half-elf!

Aether

I knew I would eventually end up in a game with you, Zaer!  Be it this or the over long path finder game you have up and running  ^.^

Zaer Darkwail

Hehe, well I am kind of lazy Gm who sometimes forget make update posts while posting as player :P. Anycase PM'ed GM my char. Overall my rogue focus on social skills (+15 diplomacy, +10 to all other social skills). Of note he has disable device, decent search and pick locks and sleight of hands. In rest rogue skills he kind of dabbles (but got +10 appraise).

Aether

My Monk~y can get just about anywhere in a natural means and I am building her as a grappler primarily I think, though she almost has spring attack.

Crovonovin

I'm sure that a wordsmith will come in quite in handy down the road.  Particularly when it comes to convincing the locals not to form an angry mob against my character.  ;)

Zaer Darkwail

Yeah and I plan my char be social savy. He has couple ranks in forgery in-case if he needs to forge some papers get things done. He has no disguise ranks tough and he has sucky hide and MS (and not good climb nor balance so he is not burglar type). But long run I plan keep him plain rogue at least 7th level and then decide on PrC (where I qualify) or continue as rogue. Atm his feats are persuasive and weapon finesse. So yes, he got sharp tongue but he can also make mean fight with dagger in his hand. So would be good if our monky focuses on traditional scout skills; like hide, MS, Spot and Listen. While I can focus be word savy rogue who more talks out from trouble than tries run from it.

Aether

I got spot at least covered  ^.^

Balance: 5
Climb: 5
Jump: 5
Move Silently: 5
Spot: 5
Swim: 5
Tumble: 5

Crovonovin

Just to round things about a bit, I've got three Knowledge skills (Arcane, Dungeoneering, and Geography), which could come in handy in the long run.  The best way to travel through the world is to know a bit and a half about it!

Laughing Hyena

Its not a matter of killing power for my fighter but staying power. He is meant to keep the attention upon himself and pick off any that try to get past him. So that means Reach, AC and HP are vital.

Zaer Darkwail

That case I am the best close damage dealer as I go flank stuff, got +9 chance to hit and then sneak attack dmg is quite decent :). Also I do not got slouch Str neither so I get some damage bonus besides enchant bonus.

Crovonovin

In that case then my advice still applies, but go for sword-and-board instead of a two-hander.

I'm not sure what he's going to look like, though...  I hate looking for that right image.

My cleric is range, so don't go too deep in having an all range party.

What's wrong with all range party :P. Anyways my vote for middle pick. Also my guy is definently mix of melee and ranged, as he is weapon finesse guy.

NicciKotor

I'm far too adorable to get into melee and have to bonk at people! I do need more meat shields to help with that.

I can simply take it where it needs it is all, be it close in or ranged.

swordwind

Oddly enough everyone here has a bow in some fashion. I find that amusing. Right now I'm waiting on one other person. As for the rest of you I shall start to work on your intros.

Crovonovin

Personally, I'm of the mindset that any adventurer worth their salt should have some sort of ranged weapon and something for melee.  Just because a wizard has his spells doesn't mean he'll necessarily want to waste them, and if he runs out of applicable spells there's always the trusty crossbow.  And while he's not going to be eviscerating people with that toothpick of a knife, I can think of dozens of other uses for it beyond self-defense.

I'm just going to be a traveling priestess, off seeing the world on my 130th birthday. Gotta experience life when it is needed, and not stuck in a temple for a few centuries.

Zaer Darkwail

Cleric/Figther is good choice. Or go for full cleric who worships war god (war domain gives profiency and weapon focus for deity weapon for free and most war gods use greatsword, greataxe or longsword or bastard sword) and focusing on combat buffs than heals (or cure spells like cure blindness). Then multiclass to figther later on for nice feats. In low level as human you get 3 feats to play with as cleric, 6 as figther. You usually do not need more than 3 feats to be good in combat (and as said war domain gives weapon focus for free).

One example I made my char war cleric he had; Weapon Focus [Greatsword] (domain bonus), Power Attack, Cleave, Improved Iniative.

Laughing Hyena

Last question. are there any feats that reduce arcane spell failure? Anyway Im making a straight fighter for now.

Zaer Darkwail

We are using core books, so no feats there. But if source books become allowed later on you can take fighter variant from Complete Mage which allows cast certain level arcane spells without spellfailure. It was like this; you can cast X spell level spells without spellfailure, where X is same as 1/2 (rounded down) your fighter level. So 6th level fighter could cast 3th level arcane spells without spellfailure.

Laughing Hyena


Zaer Darkwail

Hmmmm?! Do you on purpose make your guy (by pic) look a lot like a girl :P. Facially at least.

Laughing Hyena

the picture is pretty genderless in my opinion. hell theres not even a tag on that matter for it.


swordwind

Everyone: Please redo your character sheets. All of you have MAXIMUM HIT POINTS for your first four levels.

Zaer Darkwail

Huh? I marked up max HP with my char already so why I need redo it :P.

Crovonovin

Not a problem here, swordwind.  I made sure to give my character max with each level up.  Not that a wizard is going to get very much per level anyway, but this is definitely the kind of boost one needs to survivability this early in one's adventuring career.

swordwind

Alright, Introduction will be starting soon. In the meantime. If any of you happen to have AIM, YIM, or MSN, drop me a PM with your contact information. I find it easily to quickly answer  a question through Instant messaging.

Actually I do not. I toned that down actually. 48 is not the highest amount the fighter could have gotten with a +4 con. Its 56.

Crovonovin

Then you're in luck Laughing Hyena, because swordwind says we all get to automatically have maximum hit points for the first four levels.  So take that extra meat--you're probably going to need it!
