I just did some quick math, any 1st level character that manages to survive Operation Keep Hope Alive would earn about 15K XP once the dust settled. Would definitely be a nice kickstart to a fruitful adventuring career!

And, man alive, the stories they could tell their grandchildren!

A big IF!!! Lol...

I will confirm my new PC concept soon and then begin rolling some dice.

In reply to Inas Eoinsson (msg # 954):

I have an idea or two of my own, but I'll see how I roll. :)

Edit: Okay, 15,14,13,12,11 and 9. Hmm...

Sounds like the dice are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. Average of 3d6 = 10.5. Average of 4d6 drop 1 is 12.24.

I set everyone up with a second character template in the event we are going to attempt Operation Keep Hope Alive. You may roll up characters and begin putting together a rescue party.

I don't have the stats for an illusionist so 'Protege 4' won't be a direct pupil of Saliq, though she might at least know of him.

DM Storm I'm thinking a Half Elf Magic User/Thief. Would she be able to wear thiefly type armour?

Yeah. I just used the Protege name as a placeholder, and because this whole scenario reminds of something the Untouchable Trio +1 might go through.

I do believe multiclassed MUs can wear the armor of their other classes and still cast spells.

Huh, just realized Thieves only have the sling for a missile weapon (at least in OSRIC). Back to the drawing board...

In reply to Saliq Musfara (msg # 960):

Yeah. It's interesting how the classes have evolved over the years. Being familiar with all the flavors of D&D, I am constantly confusing features from one edition to the next. You could always go Fighter/M-U/Thief! :)

By the way, I know I have asked in the past, but who has access to the 1st edition AD&D PHB and who has been relying on OSRIC?

In reply to DM Storm (msg # 961):

A Fighter/M-U/Thief isn't a bad idea - I'm trying to go for a 2nd edition 'Bard' type - though a three way XP split is pretty intimidating! Admittedly a moot point if she doesn't make it past 1st level!

(Oh and OSRIC.)

Hello, your friendly Dwarven warrior-priest here! (Formerly known as Inas the Ghast). New name TBC.

Shane - can you please set up a new OOC thread. Thanks.

I have the AD&D books.

Multiclass spellcasters cannot cast spells while wearing armor.

Out of curiosity, where did you see that multiclass spellcasters cannot cast spells while wearing armor? I just looked in both the PHB and DMG and did not see anything that said that anywhere. Not that it isn't written somewhere I find "new" stuff in those books all the time!

The groups I have played with have always allowed multiclass characters to cast while wearing armor, but I would be curious to see where such a rule might be found.

Thanks!

Okay, name change to:

Ingvar Blodhamr

In my imagination, apparently. I'm wrong. It's pretty clear looking at the PHB that armor is allowed.

In reply to Aldo Rathmus (msg # 967):

Yeah. It was always one of the perks of playing a multi-classed character. In exchange for a much slower level progression, you gained the ability to cast in armor. Not a bad trade-off!

In reply to DM Storm (msg # 968):

How do Saving Throws work with a multiclass character? Best, worst?

Also we need a new OOC thread, we're nearing 1,000. :)

You take the best save from each class, for each save type.

In reply to DM Storm (msg # 970):

What about weapon proficiencies? The same?

Wow, that is quite an advantage, we never played it that way though. Spell casters had to remove their armor to cast. I like this way much better!

I have a players handbook...

Same

04:07, Today: Protege 2 rolled 14 using 4d6, dropping the lowest dice only, unique dice. stats.

10, 12, 12, 14, 14, 15.

Above average for the dice roller I guess, but nothing special as a characters sadly. Not as good as Ben even, though he was rolled by someone else, so my bad luck didn't affect those rolls.

Paladin requires Strength 12, Int. of 9, Wis of 13, Con of 9 and 17 Char.

Do you allow the two-for one stat swap?

I could go with 10, 10, 10, 14, 14, 17.

Str.14 Int.10 Wis.14 Con.10 Dex.10 Cha.17?

I'm loving my Fighter Cleric!!!

Shane, would heavy warhammer and light warhammer count as different choices re weapon proficiency/specialisation?

Go for it.
