Cool, now as your all 4th rank you can roll on the NPC Weapons and Equipment table for your appropriate Profession.

We'll be stealing....well....lots of stuff from Bonivants game. :D

So character sheet layouts will be as they are over there. Just chage Piety to Faith to reflect what religion your PC follows.

In reply to GM (msg # 3):

Just rolled health points, see above.  I can't modify my sheet apparently.

Once I've done the 1st rank character, maybe we can modify it to 4th rank.

I don't mind if the GM rolls for me in all circumstances.  You wanna' do my equipment rolls?

Looks good...not sure about the hat. :D

So what brings Kores to Glissom? Chasing stories of a demon or the Albish church decided that he was one of those he is sworn to fight? Or something else?

Arrived by ship or overland from Ereworn/over the Pagans from Thuland?

Have moved it to your character sheet on your profile page. :)

In reply to GM (msg # 24):

That Knave character, is that one of your own or is it posted up somewhere?

In reply to Kores Varias (msg # 25):

Knave and Priest ( and Hunter) are still in playtesting for the Players Book........which is taking longer than it should have due to a large number of folk having extremely annoying RL stuff to deal with.

Ok, we have two characters all done and ready to roll.

Do other folks need a hand with CC?

Hello all, I just arrived in the neighborhood. I will only have time to work on my character this week-end, but am completely OK if my primary stats are rolled for me. I am not sure I found where I could write my character sheet though.

In reply to AnotherTBA (msg # 28):

Click on your Character Profile ( to the left < ) it'll be under the biography section.

Edit: First set of rolls was 3 below average stats so rolling again.

2,1,2,= 5
1,4,6,= 11
5,6,4,= 15
2,6,3,= 11
6,2,2= 10

Possibly the worlds weakest barbarian or maybe he's missing an arm? :)

Hi All, guess this means i'm in?  I have to 'fess up i'm new to rpol so i might need a bit of help at the beginning.

Can you tell me about the Knave?

Knaves are for want of a better term 'social assasins' think Chaucer, most of the ' plucky lad' heroes of Grimms Tales, shysters, spies and courtiers.

Modern Examples are folks like Nate and Sophie from Leverage, George Smiley or even the various Blackadders of history.:D

Discussion of mechanics will need to go to PMs.

:)

In reply to GM (msg # 31):

From what I remember its a Paul Raymond publications picture book with lots of illustrations and very popular with teenagers and old men.

*slap*

:p

In reply to Kores Varias (msg # 32):

Lol!

Ahhh, memories of youth...

Crap rolls, not good enough for Warlock so will reroll!

Warlock pretty much ready!

Note to other players - I wont be starting for a couple of weeks due to holidays.

oh godbless sticking with crappy rolls when playing a knight/barbarian.  Whatever would have possessed Bael Haywardson to decide to become an adventuring knight with his stats.  Actually I think I know what would have possessed him - his intelligence of 5.  hehehehe.  Now to roll up languages and equipment and level him up.

In reply to Bael Haywardson (msg # 37):

Lol! To compound it your rolled terrible HP as well!

In reply to Yamousou (msg # 38):

my initial picture of him being quite heroic has been rather turned around by my rolls.  I'm now starting to picture him as a somewhat spoilt noble who's a little out of his depth but probably doesn't realise it.  Makes for much more fun roleplaying!

In reply to Bael Haywardson (msg # 37):

Nice.

:)

In reply to GM (msg # 40):

equipment is rolled up off the NPC weapons and equipment table from p 133 of the manual yeah?  Then filling in with the basics as a 4th level knight might have?

In reply to Bael Haywardson (msg # 39):

Brave Brave Brave Brave Sir Robin!

In reply to Bael Haywardson (msg # 41):

Correct.

:)

In reply to GM (msg # 43):

What....  isyourfavouritecolour!?!?

In reply to GM (msg # 31):

Ok, so the new ambassador from Chaubrette has just arrived in Glissom, non?  (Or something like that.)

Its ok Bael Haywardson, I got some pretty ordinary stats too! :)

In reply to TobeAdvised (msg # 45):

Low intelligence guys can be fun to roleplay...

I got this strange situation, a sorceror with high strength and very low health points...  Not sure what hollywood film star equivalent might match such stats...  Maybe Jude Law?

In reply to Kores Varias (msg # 46):

Yeah, a low intelligence Knave - he thinks he's really smart but actually... haha the jokes on him!

In reply to TobeAdvised (msg # 47):

I'm interested in playing a Knave, just that my character sheet is done...  Maybe I could be a knavish sorceror....

Need to do a v0.32 jester character class...  No stat important, you just need to be able to crack jokes that work....

In reply to Kores Varias (msg # 48):

Maybe armed with a Vorpal knock knock joke!

In reply to Yamousou (msg # 49):

Pretty useless in a fight, though they could probably help the party gain initiative in a combat.  Just as sappers are overkill if they survive a combat...  more so than sorcerors...

A joke that makes the enemy cringe in disgust and dread....  based on successfully roll over looks score...  and maybe even a roll over intelligence....

I have edited my descrition and changed my armour picture - the only Crown Maille Coat I could find on t'internet!

In reply to Colm Cernach (msg # 51):

Nice.

Thanks I found how to edit my character sheet.

About characteristics scores, do I have to use the ones you wrote above? If yes, do I have to use them in order?

If you've worked out how to roll on the Dice Roller roll your own. :)

And use those in order. ;)

Just in case you don't have the Gaelic bent, my characters name is pronounced COLUM, just like Chief O'Brian.

Here are the rolls:

07:59, Today: AnotherTBA rolled 10 using 3d6. Looks roll.
07:59, Today: AnotherTBA rolled 10 using 3d6. Psychic Talent roll.
07:59, Today: AnotherTBA rolled 9 using 3d6. Intelligence roll.
07:58, Today: AnotherTBA rolled 12 using 3d6. Reflexes roll.
07:58, Today: AnotherTBA rolled 9 using 3d6. Strength roll.


That's what you call an average character. Are these rolls acceptable?

In reply to AnotherTBA (msg # 56):

Works for me. ;)

I will probably stick to Barbarian as profession. Anyway, with only average characteristics, it is probably just as well...

Ref: 9 and Int: 9 is good enough for most professions.  So far I think we have;

Bael the Knight,
Brother Jacob the Mystic,
Kores the Sorcerer,
Finan the Fire Elementalist,
Yamousou the Warlock,
Guilluame the Knave,

AnotherTBA the Barbarian?
Cendrik?
Ragnar the Hunter?

We are kick ass!!!

Ragnar will not be joining us.

AnotherTBA and Cendrik are still outside possibilities.

But yes, arse will be kicked.....now where did I put those Malgash stats.......:D

Looks like we're quite heavy in the magic department.  Hope you can fight Bael! :)

well Bael certainly *thinks* he can fight.  And he's gonna *love* being round all these highfalutin' book reading magic users who think they're *SO* clever.

:)

In reply to Bael Haywardson (msg # 62):

Hey, hey, hey, surely we don't need to resort to violence?  Next time we run into a Malgash we *Talk* our way out.  Of course, Bael will do all the *Talk*ing....

Hey, why don't we put up a list of looks scores?  We can get the dummest, best looking guy to do all the talking.  Mine is 11.....

My looks are 11, but my low, low intelligence of 5 means I'll misinterpret the concept and will do all the talking.

In reply to Bael Haywardson (msg # 64):

I'm happy to do the talking.  I've only got looks of 10 and intelligence of 9, but I think i'm much more clever and better looking than I really am!

I have Intelligence of 16 and Looks 9.  So I *KNOW* you guys are all half baked, wind bag, numpty bifwits and can reign in the sure
and certain knowledge of my superior intellect ;oP

=EDIT= P.S. I have changed my character name because he is incognito.
None of the characters know his real name.  His pseudonym is Finan McRoach.
This message was last edited by the player at 09:05, Thu 09 Aug 2012.

cheers for the headsup, was wondering what that was about.

Rolled a (meager) 10 Health points for my to be barbarian...

I noticed that all characters have a first name and a last name. Is that an obligation, or just a habit everybody in this game has?

Habit for me.  Is that 10 points after levelling up to fourth level?  I think most of us here have some pretty average stats from using the straight 3d6 rule.  Feels more Dragon Warriors-y in a way.  And gives a good excuse to explain away why a character is like they are.

Well I have looks 13 and intelligence 15 so I know I look good :o)

As for first and last names I only have one....Jacob... Brother is my job description....  :o)

Just seems a bit D&D to only have one name.  More DragWars to have a family/clan name also.  Not obligatory for everyone though.

Where is s/he from?

Maybe theres a reason, generally a bad reason, that they don't have a family name?

Yeah, I guess I could come up with a name akin to <Name> of <City/Region>. That would fit a barbarian quite well actually... Where would a barbarian of Glissom come from? The wild areas probably?

Yeah from the North probably.

Barbarians of Glissom are Reivers; think Highland Clans crossed with dry land pirates.

The well known ones can get away with a single name for instance Conn, King of the Reivers was once Conn of Clan Gar. Now he's just Conn, and everyone knows who your referring to.

Other less well known are differentiated by honorifics eg. Rotho Redhand, Grom Splitface, Dougal Ruddycheeks.

The Majority are <Name> of Clan <Clan Name>.

Connor of Clan Cladd, Dram of Clan Willach etc.

Pretty much anything beyond the Shadowspin is 'Wild'.

Ok then I will go for 'Dann of clan Valin'. I will work for a background story from there.

Ok, so the dice gave me 3 additional languages at a fluent level, plus another one at basic level. I guess Visic is the native language of Dann. That might be a little over the top for a Barbarian, but could also hint a few things about his background. What are your thoughts on which additional language a Barbarian from Glissom might know? I would go for the following list at first thought:

• Visic (native)
• Elleslandic (fluent)
• Mercanian (fluent)
• Beaulangue (fluent)
• Cabbandari (basic)

Barbarians get a high chance of multi linguistics as is it inferred they are well travelled mercenaries and the like.

Think about his backstory, where he has been, who he has fought with/against etc.
Elleslandic and Mercanian are always a shoe-ins for me.  The rest is only limyed by your backstory.

Pretty Much this.^

Visic, Elleslandic, Mercanian for sure.

The rest depend on what he's been up to.

I'll have a bit more of a think when I get home and see if there are some more 'unusual' local options for him. :)

Okay, in light of the background description of Glissom in 'Prince of Darkness', what about the following back story for Dann:

• He originates from one of the smaller villages from the Fief.
• An inordinately violent raid from the borderer clan Valin left his parents dead, and he was adopted by one of the clan's family. He was still very young.
• The Valin clan is primarily a pirate clan, engaged in raiding coastal villages or towns with boats. Dann was trained in that tradition.
• The Valin clan became close to Rotho Redhand, and participated to more and more long distance raids: up to the Mercanian coast, Beauland, and other Elleslandic countries. He learned the languages of these countries through his travels, and while engaging with some of the hostages they made along the way.
• Maybe sensing some kind of challenge to his authority, Conn the King of Reivers decided to crush the Valin clan with all his might. Few survived, but Dann did. His adoptive parents lifted the secret of his birth just before he could flee.
• Dann is now heading for the City of Glissom, a lone barbarian carrying a huge feud for Conn, some awe at Rotho (even though he is not in complete agreement with her ways), and the huge burden of having lost his family twice.

Please tell me if any of this is inconsistent with the source material or the story at hand. Or if you have suggestions on how to make it better...
This message was last edited by the player at 13:45, Thu 30 Aug 2012.

Love it. :)

Now you just need to roll for the booty you picked up while reiving. :)

Okay. How do I go about it?

In reply to Dann of Clan Valin (msg # 82):

Just roll on the NPC Equipment charts for a 4th Rank Barbarian.

Hi guys. I'm looking for an 'in' with the city side group. Any suggestions?

You could try the Yar Yar Binks strategy...

No, just joking

In reply to Finan McRoach (msg # 85):

Not sure... What's Finan doing while i'm in the church?

In reply to Guillaume De Morvan (msg # 86):

Bugger all.

I suggest our Wagadoui throws something non-lethal at the bloodnut.

Also I forgot to say before but I'll need a back story for the bow. :)

Maybe you could steal a loaf of bread.  The authorities will try to kill you and we will save your life!  After that we will all have a price on our heads!  What better than the usual 'meet up in a tavern' routine...

I am trying to make sense of 'NPC weapons & equipments table' page 133 of the rules (is that the one you were referring to?), but cannot wrap my head around it. Maybe it will be quicker if you roll for me instead?

You are rolling on the 4th Rank Barbarian row I presume.

Roll d100. 8% chance of Magic Armour.  If so roll d100 on Armour Table p138, then d100 on the Bonus Table beneath.

Roll d100. 20% chance of d2 Magic Weapons. If so d2 for number of Weapons, then d100 on Weapons Table p137,
and then d100 on the Bonus Table beneath PER Weapon.  I rolled a +3 Sword for Finan!!!

NO chance of Scrolls.

Roll d100. 25% chance of d3 Potions.  If so roll d3 for number of Potions, then roll d100 on Potion Tables p139 PER Potion.

Roll d100. 3% chance of d2 Amulets.  If so roll d2 for number of Amulets, then roll d100 on Amulet Table p141 PER Amulet.

Roll d100. 3% chance of d3 Rings.  If so roll d3 for number of Amulets, then roll d100 on Rings Table p144 PER Ring.

Roll 3d100 Florins, with which you can but extra kit with GM's approval.

Hope this helps

Well, that means that I might very well roll... nothing at all (except for the extra money). Is that a correct assumption?

Yep!  I was extremely lucky to get anything, then maxed-out HERO style!

Extra money mean you can pretty much start with any mundane equipment, clothes and such you want.

Okay, and provided I am extremely lucky, can I get more than one item?

<BLINK, BLINK> I don't understand...  you have a percentage chance of 11 Enchanted Items and 300 Florins.

Now get rolling!

In reply to Dann of Clan Valin (msg # 93):

You may find that you get nothing, or you may find that you get loads of cool stuff. The luck of the dice!

In reply to Yamousou (msg # 95):

Ah, Excellent my minions have done my work for me. Continue on. :)

So the dice have spoken: Dann inherits a +1 sword and a +3 shield from his adoptive father of clan Valin. When Conn attacked the clan, his father asked Dann to take the weapons for the fight. He could defend the house and survive, but his parents were not as lucky. When all was lost, Dann's father urged his adoptive son to flee after revealing the secret of his birth, while life was escaping him from a mortal wound. Shocked by seeing his entire world being literally shredded to pieces, Dann jumped on the first horse he could find and made it run as fast as it could.

The weapons are the only items he keeps from his past.

In reply to Dann of Clan Valin (msg # 97):

Nice dice!

Should I consider the standard starting equipment for barbarians, or should I start from scratch and buy all items from the table page 134?

WOW! Good Rolls!

Anything +3 is considered an artefact, extremely rare and easily identifiable by experts in the field.  Presumably the shield bears your family arms (birth or adoptive?).  This means if you carry it in public any of your enemies can identify you at 30 yards.

In reply to Finan McRoach (msg # 100):

or you might have just painted over your family crest to try to disown them like Bael did.

so a +3 shield means any hit turns into a block on a roll of 1-4 on a d6???

Err no.  +3 to DEF when used.  Enchanted Armour Bonus versus Magical Attacks maybe?

I have always felt the shield rules were lacking, and have beefed them up considerably in my game.

In reply to Finan McRoach (msg # 102):

thought a 1-4 safety on a d6 sounded a little too perfect.  and yes, I agree, shield rules are a little light.

Well, my first thought was to make the shield (and sword) part of a loot gained by Dann's father, but if it does not fit well with the rules / context, this can be changed. I am not sure if reiver (and borderer) clans realistically have skilled enough characters to produce these kind of items though...

In reply to Dann of Clan Valin (msg # 104):

Could be ancient family heirlooms of unknown origin.

In reply to Dann of Clan Valin (msg # 82):

Just roll on the NPC Equipment charts for a 4th Rank Barbarian.

Edit: Bwuh?!!  Note to self: phone does weird shit to posts.....



The items could well be Selentine, Gliss or even Fomorian in origin if you wish.

The Reavers of old had some powerful druids and wisemen among them they are certainly capable of forging mighty artifacts such as these.

As a note you mob are now the most artifact heavy group I've ever run.....this will be fun.:)

In reply to GM (msg # 106):

I want an artefact too!

mumblegrumblemumble

Well, this is the first time I've started at anything other than 1st Rank!

Mid Rank is going to be fun.

I got no special items... fortunately Guillaume has a sparkling personality and razor sharp wit!

In reply to Guillaume De Morvan (msg # 109):

Throw in a few cursed and flawed items....

In reply to Kores Varias (msg # 110):

Ahhh, that's why Kores is so unpleasant.  He's got a cursed hat of grumpiness. :)

In reply to Guillaume De Morvan (msg # 111):

I just thought that he had a spiked codpiece... With the spikes on the inside!

Are we all starting at 4th rank? And again, should I consider the starting equipment package of page 24?

In reply to Dann of Clan Valin (msg # 113):

I think we're all at 4th rank (I know I am).  You get the starting equipment and then whatever else you want to buy with the extra money you rolled.

Correct.

Ok, I bought equipment and made my character progress to rank 4. I still have a substantial amount of florins, but it is probably better to keep them for now. Dann's backstory implies that he has a mount, but it is okay to consider that he lost or sold it in his flight.

If my character sheet is acceptable, I think I am all set to actually enter the game!

Yes, you are. :)

Correct.

He's not a 9 to 5 person, he does a lot of overtime and overworks, quite unlike the player behind this character...

In reply to Kores Varias (msg # 119):

Lol!

Okay, and how can we make it happen exactly?

In reply to Dann of Clan Valin (msg # 121):

Theres a lot of folks in the c&a you could be one of them.

In reply to GM (msg # 122):

By C&A I guess you mean 'Crown and Anchor'? May I jump right in?

If Dann is nearby Kores in the inn, he will probably see him examine a strange neckless. Could it be that Dann has seen it (or something similar) before during his rieving activities?

You may jump right in, yes. :)

Well, the whorls on the necklace do resemble some of the decorations on his shield....perhaps.

In reply to GM (msg # 124):

Hm, with no indication of demons, claw or tooth marks or anything...  I guess it ain't worth much to me...

Slight change to game plan... One relatively smart but fugly warlock is joining the group.

In reply to Bael Haywardson (msg # 130):

We have blunt hammers instead of sharp knives? :D

Finishing touches. Should be up soon in a couple of days.

In reply to blackmeteorite (msg # 131):

More like blunt knives.

Boss, the character sheet function is not up yet.

?

Hmmm, Must have buggered something.....I'll try again. :)

OK, Rabbie Brien the Hunter is almost ready.

22:31, Today: TBA rolled 176 using 3d100. Cash.
22:31, Today: TBA rolled 23 using 1d100. Rings.
22:31, Today: TBA rolled 23 using 1d100. Amulets.

22:26, Today: TBA rolled 14 using 1d20. Language 2.
22:25, Today: TBA rolled 2 using 1d20. Language.
22:24, Today: TBA rolled 95 using 1d100. Background?

Not sure how to do Background for a Hunter, but I got an intermediate language (I think) and maybe even a script(?).  I doubt I got any magical goodies and I still need to spend my cash (couldn't see starting cash for the Hunter so have just got the 3d100 for rank 4).

Then i'll work on a back story.

Ok, you rolled well enough to get a +2 shortsword. As those are not exactly common in the region lets say its an heirloom handed down from when your great-great-great grandpa killed some Selentine Centurion officer type. :)

Add 23 to your cash.

Literate in Nikkar Runic. Someone made sure you could read.

A roll of 95 gives a background of 'charcoal burner' which is interesting as they're pretty much the 'hillbillies' of the region. Weird backwoods folk with strange beliefs and pretty much shunned by the rest of society.

In reply to GM (msg # 136):

Cool!  I'll put that Claymore back on the shelf then.

Hmm... a charcoal burner who can read and write...  Perhaps his family was once wealthy or noble but fell on (very) hard times.

Could have been a high family in a Clan that lost its lands a few generations back, the old folks would still have their reading and writing skills.  Maybe you seemed smarter than the other kids and one of them decided to teach you in hope you'd make something of yourself?

In reply to GM (msg # 138):

Sounds good.  I'll run with that.  Is it ok to be a native of Lacklaw, and a hunter (at times) for Baron Hulmer?

Definetely.

In reply to GM (msg # 140):

Cool.  Description done, ready to go!

Oops, forgot to explain how he learnt to speak Elleslandic.  Maybe a Cornumbrian monk lived with his charcoal burning family for a while?
This message was last edited by the player at 21:39, Mon 21 Oct 2013.

Sure, though the family may have spoken it if they had trading relations with the south.

Any chance of any XP soon, please GM?
I for one could seroiusly do with a Rank Gain about now ;o)

Hmmm you have been sitting just off for a bit....

I was going to wait til after the exploration but what the hell.

Hiya all, and first attempt at a PC on new dice roller, 5 x 3d6 for Stats...

9 7 8 8 10

I suspect it hates me.
Oh well, I think I can just scrape a Sorcerer out of that lot, but they be pretty naff, and I'd be willing to give it another try if permitted.

I think if 2 scores below 9 u can reroll a score or something l:) welcome our artillery! With you around I can cast more enhancement instead of being Lann the healer lol

Lann is correct reroll allowed with those stats.

Well, on the offchance it was a total scrap and start again?
The second batch of rolls are a vast improvement...

9 15 9 10 7

If it's just one reroll, I'll replace the 7 from the first batch with the 15 from this batch.

And thanks for the welcome too. :)

So if I need a Sorcerer:

15 to Int, 10 to Psy Tal, 9 in Ref and Str and 7 in Looks.
Ok so she's smart, but painfully plain of face and speech...

In reply to New Character (msg # 164):

Must be serfs inbreding.  They sure don't travel very far...

I take that as an insult :( I have looks of 6 but I am not a serf ok? I descend from a powerful clan of mages lol
So is the new character Griff's second character?

And total scum for social class...

01 on 1d100!

Damn it, bloody Noble? It's not Serfs inbreeding, that's for sure.
This is high class noble inbreeding!
Who to I have to stab to inherit something?

In reply to New Character (msg # 167):

We knights sure look better.  I think it was common amongst royalty and nobles to 'maintain close ties'...

Nope.
New Player, New Character.

With a roll of 01, and the reputation of Glissom's Nobility for being deeply unpleasant bastards?

'Dark Heritage' doesn't even begin to cover her twisted family tree, not to mention all the attempts at pruning off inconvenient branches by her relatives...

We have a few nobles in the group....perhaps another lost son/daughter of Clan Cernach?

Speaking of pruning,after taking a look at the other PCs, I assume this is one of those roll in order for stats PC generation games?

Yeah, you'd think a Knight with Looks 18 would have woken me up to that fact earlier. Too much home made mead and not enough coffee yesterday...

OK, sorry, old game habits die hard, and my brain keeps reverting to High School House Rules for DW Chargen. Have loaded up the new version PDFs to to new machine as well, so I may actually have all my ducks in a row this morning.

Returns batch#2 Stat Rolls to Original Order: 09 15 09 10 07

Strength:09 Reflexes:15 Intelligence:09 Psychic Talent:10 Looks:07

Well, that's still a Sorcerer on the numbers, but she'd almost qualify for an Assassin.
Only fancy profession add on she qualifies for is Hedge Wizard, but that does have a few useful options for skills.

Is it a case of GM picks spells or roll randomly with Hedge Wizards for this game then?

In reply to New Character (msg # 172):

I like random...its more entertaining. :)

Fine by me.:)

There any details on Clan Cernach I should be reading up on as a player, and if so, where do I find them?

In reply to New Character (msg # 174):

If you read Colms Character under The Cast it will give you enough of the details.

In reply to GM (msg # 173):

At least she's quick on her feet, qualifies as a Sorcerer, and hits average in almost everything else.

And I can come up with a reason for her Looks of 07 that's more horror than comedy too...

We already have one badly burned sorcerer ( semi-retired) in Kores.. so I'd tend away from flames as a reason. ;)

Lol, the looks 18 knights is glad for his rolls. It’s made talking to people WAY more viable then if he was as ugly as everyone else in the party. :P

I wish I had better stats. lolx... may I need a genie to help me
or hugh maybe,...

Lol, if your current fey slave’s minions don’t slaughter you in your sleep.

In reply to GM (msg # 177):

I was thinking more blades than flames when it comes to scars. People trying to murder her for being of a traitorous clan in exile and all that.

What's the chance of getting any specific spell then?

Otherwise, rather than have the party gruesomely dispose of Caith for not having any healing spells thanks to the vagaries of the dice, I'll leave Hedge Wizard well alone and stick to plain Sorcerer thanks...

Also, where the hell is the option on this forum software for changing account name to Character Name, or is that GM's stuff?

In reply to New Character (msg # 181):

Maybe she got bitten in the face and still got the scars...  Reminds me of one of my favourite 'actresses'.  I was surprises she had part of her face ripped off and needed her ear reattached.  Still got a small scar on her upper lip, but hey, that was some amazing MIRACLE CURE done on her...


https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0630362/


I don't know, both knights I'm playing have a reasonably high looks score around 12-13....

In reply to New Character (msg # 181):

name change is me. after work.

Edit:

Or I just sneak into the office between jobs and do it. Done. :)

In reply to Kores Varias (msg # 182):

No need for the inverted commas around Actress.
That particular genre of entertainment media probably requires more acting than most varieties of roles available to women in Hollywood, as it takes more raw talent to sell "Oh it's sooo big..." convincingly on screen than you might think.

I'm half tempted to adapt one of her quotes for Caith though, so thanks for the link!

Instead of "I was popular. I was Prom Queen and almost Homecoming Queen. I should've gone to college."

Adapted to "Ah wa' bonny set. Ah wa' Queen'o'May an' almost Witch Queen o're ull Glissom. Ah shuda gone te coven."

In reply to GM (msg # 183):

Thank you! :)

In reply to Caith Cernach (msg # 185):

So far I've played a mystic with low intelligence, and low reflexes for that matter.  Wonder how I'd roleplay a low psychic talent character...  Probably blunt and no empathy, a bit like the barbarians I play.

And I always love playing those with low looks score, even bringing it down from 14 to 3 (Luxiex), love the darkman concept...

Not sure what to do with a low strength score, if they can't even pass for a ..  actually, no strength requirement stat for knights...
This message was last edited by the GM at 05:02, Mon 07 Jan 2019.

And now, a pile of sundry rolls for Caith's Loot:
Magic Armour: Nope!
Magic Weapons: Nope!
Spell Scrolls: 21 on the dice, so Yes, and 2 on the 1d4 for number of Scrolls!
Magic Potions: Nope!
Amulets & Talismans: 04 on the dice, so Yes, and 2 on the 1d2 for number of A&T!
Magic Rings: Nope!
Cash in Florins 3d100Roll: 99+79+48 on the dice is Total of 226 Silver Florins

And now the fun bit, what are the Spells on the Scrolls, and what's the Magical Bling?

Scroll#1: 46 on 1d100 and 6 on 1d6 so 5th Rank, TRANSFIX
Scroll#2: 30 on 1d100 and 2 on 1d6 so 4th Rank, CURSE

Amulet#1: 97 on 1d100 and oh bugger, that's not good...
Do I roll the rest of Amulet#1 or is that GM's job as to it being a haunted rock or not?

Amulet#2: 26 on 1d100 so Abraxus Stone.
That would partly explain her surviving horrific wounds in the past.

"Wluf tried ta' eat ma face. Same wulf wa' a fine brekfa tho, anna gud cloak inta' tha' bargain..."

And on that subject: Health Points 1d6 for Sorcerers result of 3.
Right I think that's most of the rolls except for Language stuff so nearly done! :)

u r really lucky

In reply to Chlainn Vacrolann (msg # 186):

Yup, if ya can't make the stats for anything else, Knight is always handy.

I don't mind a low Looks, the extremes of stat range make for interesting characters.

In reply to Toirneach Lann (msg # 188):

I'm reserving judgement on Caith's luck on Loot rolls until I know if that Amulet of Soul Storing is already occupied or not.

You really know that your PC is a Noble down on their luck if instead of a haunted castle, you inherit a haunted necklace instead...

I only rolled a crummy potion and there are people who didn't get anything I believe lol
I think sorcerers also get two potions as gift from their master.

In reply to Toirneach Lann (msg # 191):

I didn't roll on those tables.  I exchanged my plate for chain, and got myself a mace and arbalest...  Must've lost everything at gambling...
This message was last edited by the player at 09:15, Mon 07 Jan 2019.

Yeah, been carrying around 2 of those replenishment potions which I never use.  Maybe 8 experience points from 6th rank when I stopped adventuring.  Can't be helped, I luv the smell of tombs and rotting carcasses....

Already grabbed the two-potions-from-master, both Healing. :)

And I'm quite serious about wanting to know what the odds on getting spells as a Hedge-Wizard are, as it's an interesting option, but not getting Healing spells is a hell of a gamble. I suppose I could always trade in the spell scrolls for the right spells from a certain semi-retired chap in unusual headwear if it comes to that, and there's always the Herbalism Skill as more Healing backup...

However I can't find description for the Forage Skill anywhere, something I suspect is required for the way Hedge-Wizards do Alchemy and Herbalism and I've checked both the new 6in1 handbook and Cadaver Draconis.

Need some kind of Skill to get away with plant dyes to hide that Clan Cernach flaming red hair black, as she doesn't have any disguise skill.

Done the languages stuff too, rolls are in the dice log.
If anyone here doesn't speak Vasic, there may be problems in party communications, because her only other languages are Arcane, Ancient Emphidian and Old Kurlish...

Also, having skim-read through the two Southern Pagan IC threads, you lot certainly kick arse in combat. :)

In reply to Caith Cernach (msg # 194):

Forage is in the Players Guide.

Forage
The Hunter is an expert at finding sustenance in the
wilderness. The Hunter must make a Perception roll,
and beat a difficulty number assigned by the GM.
Then the GM rolls an appropriate die to determine
how long the Hunter takes in finding the food and
water. The three basic levels of foraging ability by
any terrain are:

Type TN Time
Fecund 10 1d3
Fertile 14 1d3+3
Desolate 18 1d3+6

The result of the die roll indicates how many hours
it takes for the Hunter to find a day’s food and water
for a number of people equal to half the Hunter’s
Rank. If the Hunter is in his Favoured Terrain (see
above) he may add +2 to his Perception for purposes of making the foraging roll.


Re spells. If you want you can just take the Healing Spells you want and the roll for the rest. :)

WELCOME! Welcome to a NEW Player! (One of Karl's crew?) and Welcome to a new member of Clan Cernach!  My plan for global domination is building momentum *mu-ha-ha-ha*

I LOVE the idea of Hedge Wizard!  Removes the need of a 'school of magic' or even a mentor - just free stylin'!

We REALLY need so me healing spells.  I'm sure the GM would allow to to pick some and roll for some?  I'd recommend taking Bedevil, Udjat and Lugh's Spear when you can.

In reply to Colm Cernach (msg # 196):

No indication on my end.  Isn't this new guy the replacement for Griff?  Maybe we can crack a few barbeque jokes...

Oh yeah, that’s me at least. I got pretty good stats, then NO magical start gear and no extra languages or literacy. But it turned out alright in the end. Now I’ve got a magic sword I don’t like using, plate armor, and a war barded dog that’s almost better than me, so i’m happy.

Nope Kores, this is a new player all together. Not sure what’s up with Griff yet.

Lol, I still havn’t met the one Lost Lord of Cernach. Now I’ve got another mysterious heir thrown in? Usopi is going to be amicably confused when we finally get to Glissom.

In reply to GM (msg # 195):

Thank you, I couldn't find the damn bit for it anywhere in the books. :)

I can work with that 4 spells/Rank restriction, and Healing spells as prepicked...

...But what dice and what chances do I roll for getting non-healing spells?
I couldn't find that anywhere either.

Thank you, and I figured if there's already a 'We hate Steward Kilnded!' club for exiled Clan Cernarch Nobles, Caith might as well join it. :)

Hedge-Wizards look fun to me as well. Forage, Herbalism and I'm trying to pick between the Summon Minor Gods trick or Premonition for the last one.

Bedevil would be Curse, Udjat would be Peer and Lugh's Spear would be Dragonbreath under different names then?

In reply to Usopi Venia (msg # 198):

I meant to reply earlier on the who Looks 18 thing, in that I'm just glad the PC who most counts as a weapon of mass distraction is party spokesdude, and that my PC doesn't have to do the diplomacy stuff in this group.

I'm happy to get an Abraxus Stone all right, it's the possibly haunted amulet that's got me worried...

And yes, as I said before, new player, new character, new edition of game, new site to me, so please bear with me while I get hang of the forum software.

I think you just roll d6 on each list?  Re-roll if you got it already.


Bedevil
Profession and Rank:
Sorcerer 1
Range:  10m
Duration:  Permanent
Origin:  Algandy
Rarity:  Common throughout Legend
Description:  The Sorcerer casts this spell on a single tool, weapon, or implement.  The target can be no larger than a small cart or plough. The spell causes the item to attempt to thwart any action a user tries to undertake with it.  For example, a compass will give false readings, a hammer might strike a thumb, and a saddle might become undone. The spell rarely causes serious injuries but, for example, using a  bedevilled rope to climb a mountain can be suicidal.  The  spell  remains  until  the  Sorcerer removes the spell or a Dispel Magic spell is cast on the item. Any Sorcerer who knows this spell can cast a “counter curse” on a bedevilled item.

Udjat
Profession and Rank: Sorcerer 4
Range:  Self
Duration:  Spell Expiry Roll
Origin:  Kaikuhuru
Rarity:  Rare everywhere due to its obviously pagan effect.
Description:   Upon casting this spell, a golden, glowing, eye-shaped glyph appears on the Sorcerer’s forehead.  The spell increases the Sorcerer’s Psychic Talent and Intelligence to 16 or raises a score of 16-17 to 18.  The Sorcerer gains all the associated bonuses for having these characteristics.

Lugh’s Spear
Profession and Rank:  Sorcerer 5
Range:  2m
Duration:  Spell Expiry Roll
Origin:  Ellesland/Mungoda
Rarity:   Uncommon  in  Ellesland  and  Mungoda,  rare elsewhere
Description:  This spell summons forth a spear of white ash with a copper head. Eldritch fire dances around the spear’s tip. The spear hovers beside and moves with  the caster, automatically attacking any being within 2 meters, friend or foe. The spear can make one attack  er round with an Attack of 22 (d8, 5).  The spear counts as  a magical weapon.  If the spear is struck in combat, (Defence 23) it vanishes immediately.  This spell was common among the early tribes of Albion but fell out of  common use as most of Albion’s native Sorcerers died on the end of a legionnaire’s sword. In a strange case of parallel development this spell has  been  seen  among  witchdoctors in Mungoda, where it is known as Ghost Assegai.

Should you be about to die, put on the Amulet of Soul Storing and activate it.  From a situation of certain death, you'll have little to lose?

Lol, that’s fair. Better to deal with some horrible side effect of survival then to just die. Course that’s what we said to rationalize giving griff that potion, and he burst in to flames and then ash...

To be fair, as they say in the classics:
"You always were an asshole, Gorman..." - Vasquez
But then, Gorman knew he was holding a grenade at the time.

Trust me, there are worse ways to die, and the finality of death in a world with magic running around is highly debatable.

And I say that as some one who once played in a DW party that carried a pickled PC's corpse around for two weeks in game while the Sorcerer stabbed everything in sight to make it to 10th Rank just for the snarky joy of saying "Get up, you lazy bastard, you're not dead..." to a live PC.

I can see how Bedevil is useful to know as a counter measure, even without the more interesting applications that spring to mind. It also suits the character's personality far too well...

Udjat is not subtle, but it is indeed handy. Just being really smart for a little while to justify having a bright idea IC for an average brain PC is as useful the stat bonuses for magic combat stuff.

The only problem I can see with Lugh's Spear is that it's not particularly party friendly, unless you count 'friendly fire' as 'friendly'. It's a great 'GETHAFUKAWAYFROME!!!' panic button spell for lone sorcerers expecting ambush though.

Yeah its like how I always enter combat with enhancement on if I can. With you around, I can fight with 18/18 str and ref. hahahahahaha

In reply to Toirneach Lann (msg # 207):

One of these days I'll try the Knave.  Somehow I figure the contribution will be minimal since its all down to combat these days.  Hell, even the Elementalist got a buff in 2ed....

Honestly I don't like Tge character in players handbook. Very weak comparatively. With due respect coz I like combat lol
I m hoping for some down time to visit Hugh

Lol, Dann will probably kill us all if we delay heading back to Glissom again.

Knaves are interesting. Norbert has been fun to play in the other game, but man does he talk a lot. He’s a decent archer though for combat.

Is Griff re-joining?

:)

I dunno, most of the xp you guys have earned has been for non-combat activities.

I quite enjoy sneak and stab PCs as a player, but I don't mind less subtle forms of disposing of obstacles either, as I couldn't really define magic an entirely subtle weapon, depending on the spell in question.

I've just about finished the sheet for Caith, spells all sorted out now but, predictably, I do have one last question...

As she's got the cash to do so, is it worth the cost of buying a riding horse/pony for Caith?

I don't want to slow the rest of the party down if this is a mounted group with war horses and riding horses already charging around the countryside.

In reply to Caith Cernach (msg # 214):

I own a horse, and we borrowed some horses recently but yeah, just one horse carrying all the hardware we loot.  Maybe a mule might be useful.

In reply to Chlainn Vacrolann (msg # 215):

Sorcerers can still ride, so I may as well buy the riding horse for the extra carrying capacity.

A mule isn't a bad idea, but I'm afraid that as a practicing herbalist, Caith honestly can't ride a mule without it becoming a drug mule in the process.

In reply to Caith Cernach (msg # 216):

Yeah, we made a bundle selling ironmongery looted from the dead recently.  We can form a trading company fencing off stuff we looted from 'evil' npcs...

In reply to Chlainn Vacrolann (msg # 217):

The department of lost and found property is always profitable...
Depending on who lost it, what else they lost in the process, and how fast they find us before we've sold it. So how do we talk Uspoi into handling negotiations?

And what's the carrying capacity difference between a riding horse and a pony?
It makes a damn big difference to the possible drinking fund cost wise, hence the question.

In reply to Caith Cernach (msg # 218):

No idea, so far I've managed to stack 4-5 suits of chainmail, 4 two handed swords, helms AND ride my horse so I figure we might get away with hauling off a bear carcass, if we remove its claws first.

My concern is that we might end up running into TWO bears, that might be a challenge...

We DO have a wagon pulled by an Ox actually. That’s how we transported all of the black armor to Hewell. We just left it in Hewell because we borrowed horses and needed to move quickly.

As for speed, I’m pretty sure Hewell expects any survibing horses back when we return, so I think we’ll still just have Chlainn mounted and an ox cart for loot.

In reply to Usopi Venia (msg # 220):

Ox cart?  I need to do a search, figure out where that came from...  sounds vaguely familiar...

Cernach gave it to us when we left for Hewell lands specifically so we could transport the armor for sale at Hewell.

Gimme a sec and I’ll find the message number.

In reply to Usopi Venia (msg # 222):

Oh great, we bought it.  And I thought we somehow nicked it....

An ox cart, complete with ox, and a war horse?
I don't think Caith needs a pony then.
Some sacks for her to put all this money in maybe...

You lot bring the cart, Caith will get the booze in.

Haha you’d better bring a FULL ox cart worth. Chlainn goes through alcohol real quick.

In reply to Usopi Venia (msg # 225):

Not a war horse, a riding horse.  One of these days I'll own a warhorse, and wonder why I spent all that money....

Chlainn needs solvents for medicinal purposes....

Yeah he drank my turnip wine;(

In reply to Toirneach Lann (msg # 227):

Was put to good use!  I healed myself and saved Usopi's life when I washed his wounds.  Tastes awful but it does the job!

Caith would nod in approval at Chlainn for having the wits to know what to do with such dire concoctions as Turnip Wine, and write 'Medicinal Use Only!' on the cask... :)

I'll go peruse the drinks section of the equipment list then, now I understand the party's priorities: Get Drunk, Get Rich, and Get To Glissom, in roughly that order.

BTW, I know the PC picture is probably a bit too pretty for Caith, but it's the closest one I could find to a female spellcaster in the lot that looked even vaguely like she'd had part of her face chewed off and hidden behind the messy fringe.

The black dyed hair is more disguise than vanity, as her usual particular shade of blazing red hair is likely to be a clan trait, and one best concealed close to home.

It does have exactly the right facial expression for Caith though, so close enough.

In reply to Caith Cernach (msg # 229):

Was really disappointed I couldn't find John Cleese as a knight.  Might be Sir Bedivere I think but I must've missed it.  They have Tim the Enchanter but no python knights strangely enough...

In reply to Chlainn Vacrolann (msg # 230):

I'd say that if someone has had a gutful of the pointy traditional wizard hats, Tim the Enchanter's look is a good choice of something different in the way of wizardly headwear.

Tends to worry the villagers though, as apparently you have to be female to get away with horned headresses without the wild rumours of being a demon cultist flying around faster than you can say 'Burning at the stake!' in fantasy Pseudoeurope.

In fairness, I like weird hats myself, so Caith's Padded Armour Coat/Wolf Hide Armour probably looks a little bit like this ancient roman dude's outfit:

[img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/01/d...-pax-romana.jpg[/img]

She's basically the younger shortarse female version of The Soothsayer out of Asterix & Obelix as far as her wardrobe choices go.

However, she is quite sure she's not a werewolf, and will seriously consider stabbing people who ask that question of her. The cloak is really a warning to the next wolf that tries to bite her as what to expect in response.

Cool!  That is the headdress of Selentine Signifer, the Standard Bearer of a Unit.  I edited you pic display btw, no bother!

In reply to Colm Cernach (msg # 233):

Thank you, I haven't quite got the hang of the picture linking here yet. :)

And yeah, I like the standard bearers in wild animal skins out of the legions. Painted a few for my wargamer dad long ago.

Also, other than the barrel of cheap booze, still finding a cost by the barrel, Caith is all equipped, armed with spells and ready to rock.

What about a description?  Please.

If its booze you're after, you can get a bottle of Thulanch (Whiskey)
Cheap blend = 1F, Good Blend = 10F, Single Malt = 50F, Matured Sinlge Malt = 100F.
A Wolfskin cloak with headdress might cost 200F, AF0

Have you thought about a Familiar? A Hawk might be cool.

Working on a description now...

Caith can afford a bottle of the Single Malt, or half a dozen of the Good Blend stuff.

And she paid double cost for a Padded Armour Coat, and hunted her own wolf skins already. The one that makes up the hood has a human shaped bite mark out of one ear...

I haven't read up on Familiars yet, but if they're useful I'd consider one. Owl more use than a hawk though, particularly at night, or even underground.
This message was last edited by the player at 11:40, Thu 10 Jan 2019.

or 60 bottles of the cheap stuff. Lol

A bird familiar would be awesome!

I'm sure someone had a hawk before?

Sixty bottles of the cheap stuff and Caith will be too drunk to walk down the road, let alone cast spells...

That and she'd have spent the money to buy a mule to carry that many bottles on the bottles so that plan don't work either.

Small problem of having a Familiar is non-compatible career choices as a requirement.
Reckon Caith will be better off staying a Hedge-Wizard and sticking to summoning minor gods than the likes of Familiars as laid out in the book.

Besides, she'd rather take her chances haggling over live mice with Pangbur Ban for favors than trying her luck with that big demon wolf fella with the rest of the PC as the mice...

Well, with a not very smart guy I don't need to make so much of an effort in conversations.

Good rolls but 5 PT for a Mystic?....  A smart barbarian would take a lot of effort...

"Oh I do say old bean, Farnsworth SMASH!"

In reply to Chlainn Vacrolann (msg # 243):

Oh that's easy. Just teach said barbarian Greek. :)

That's all that the ancient Greeks IRL needed to convince them that some outlandish chap in strange clothes was smarter than the average barbarian apparently...

Also see "Mongo only pawn in game of life..." for a less ancient example of the enlightened but limited in intellect fighter.

Conan MacFarnsworth sounds about right TBH.

In reply to Chlainn Vacrolann (msg # 243):

Added a New Character for you. sheet is ready and editable.

In reply to GM (msg # 246):

Oh great, shall I start at rank 1?  How about I make it a halfing?  I'll just modify it by comparing differences between the human and halfling profiles in the original book 1.  Howsaboutit?

Iirc halfling can only reach level 3 knight

Thats annoying...  just because AD&D 1ed does it doesn't mean to you have to follow their limitations....

I think dwarf and elves have no level limitations ;)

In reply to Toirneach Lann (msg # 250):

Humans only, sorry.

In reply to GM (msg # 251):

Read the character, works for me. Lets keep the toilet humour and mentally disabled jokes to a bare minimum, 5 Int is still a functional human being just not a deep thinker at all.

So he's basically Lute, the former NPC now one of Artias guardians. :)

Ah I remember him. And Jon who was almost killed by the hellrot and erm if I may humbly say, saved by Lann;)
Does Jon have another character here or is he retired?
I think he's also on colm's game?

In reply to Toirneach Lann (msg # 253):

RL got too busy for the player but he knows hes welcome back.

Ok K. just need to bump him to 5th level, roll on the NPC tables for that level Mystic and tell me why he's in the small sheep herdong communities of the Grey Hills in Ereworn.

Can he come out and rescue me and I make frens with him and bring him back? Hahaha

In reply to Toirneach Lann (msg # 255):

Hm...  yeah, will get around to that.  My desktop is 5 years old and I need to wait 30 minutes before doing anything, otherwise the damned thing freezes up.

Lvl 5, book 2 hardware tables and why his family finally kicked him out of the house...  got it...

Maybe I can play around with the idea that he's a short, malnourished human with stunted growth, but how would I explain strength 17?....  I'm sure there are strength 17 midgets out there but somehow I don't see them in media a lot....

Dust of transformation....

Gee, do I know what this changes into?

In reply to New Character (msg # 257):

Ok, so for background, he's out there amongst the sheep herding communities because...

He was travelling, wandering aimlessly and was asked by one of the village headmen to investigate some sheep attacks.  Based on their remains, it seems either there was a lot of packs and they were very picky with their food since a lot of sheep were butchered but not totally picked clean, with lots of body parts scattered around.  Yuurn hasn't resolved the issue and not bound to follow through with the investigation since he did pay for his lodgings.

In reply to New Character (msg # 258):

Ok, glancing p33 new book..  some new powers...  wow....

oh great, so I really can turn him into zatoichi...

lets have mastery in CLAIRVOYANCE...

That'll be active all the time...

Some changes, added a dagger, will replace sword with a spear instead.  Just feels right.

I've given up on my mail hauberk.  Can I have a horse instead?


Hey, can I apply my strength to the telekinesis power?

Sell, Hauberk for horse? sure.

No Str. Telekinesis uses your grey matter.

Lets keep the DoT a mystery just so even he doesn't know what it will turn him into. :)

In reply to GM (msg # 261):

Hm...  whats DoT?


Oh, the dust...  yeah...  lets hold onto that.  Assume I know it does something, maybe I can throw it at somebody...

Is it a permanent change, or temporary?

It’d suck if you threw it at someone we were fighting and it turned them in to a bear. Well, unless we were fighting another hydra. Better to fight a bear then a Hydra.

In reply to Usopi Venia (msg # 263):

Yeah, right now I'm thinking it'll be good if I have to run away, assume most forms run better than humans....

You can use chlainn horse?
Sorry gonna b slow posting tdy
Got rammed by a doctor while on my way home
Gg check myself out at the hospital coz I probably have whiplash

In reply to Toirneach Lann (msg # 265):

Gah!  I do wonder what the doctors do when they suspect internal bleeding.  Are you in Singapore or Malaysia?


Chlainn?!!?  Whos he?  I mean...

"....Horse?...."

Singapore ;) thank god not mudland! I stay within 5km of 3 hospitals lol

In reply to Yuurn (msg # 266):

I'd suggest learning 'Duck' as well as 'Horse'.

And I hope you're OK IRL, Lann.

Thanks Caith
Pretty good just came over coz the impact left me groggy for a while

'Duck' might cause some confusion.....

Supposedly if any one else knows sign language, I figure he could have a quick frantic conversation.  He's just got some mental disability.  I might throw in a few others over time...

so Karl, what happened to Chlainn?  Did he die horribly *snigger*

Eaten alive by trolls.

HA! HA! HA! *cough* Oh that's terrible...

If the PCs live through this latest lot of trouble Lann's stirred up, I'm sure Chlainn will get a lovely tomb to whatever remains the party can identify of his body, and an inspiring tale of a knight's noble sacrifice to save his comrade told down the ages.

Make a saint out of him one way or another... ;)

In reply to Caith Cernach (msg # 274):

In reply to GM (msg # 276):

Oh well, if I played an Assassin, that would annoy everybody but he'd survive better.  We meatshields have a responsibility to tank it in whilst other deploy their artillery...

In reply to Chlainn Vacrolann (msg # 277):

Assassins come in many varieties, and Caith doesn't know the difference between a mercenary and an assassin IC anyway. They both take money to kill people, right?

And poisoning yourself doesn't count, or Chlainn would have been one by the amount of booze he put away.

In reply to Caith Cernach (msg # 278):

Well, Assassins kill.  Mercenaries tend to soak up damage, hold the line if possible whilst the others do their flanking and all.  I think you'd put them in the centre so they don't run away or you can slaughter them when they do.  Pretty much what us meatshields do...

In reply to Chlainn Vacrolann (msg # 279):

Well, that's the problem you see, Caith's just taken money for a killing. So she's a mercenary now by definition. Mercenary mage, sure, but still a mercenary.

No using poison though, or she'd be breaking Healer's Oath, so she's still not an assassin technically. It's the little differences that count for everything as far as she's concerned.

In reply to Caith Cernach (msg # 280):

Hm...  antibiotics...  thats some form of poison....  even if its not a microbe, there is a positive side to 'disinfecting' large critters....

FIRST - Joined FaceBook last week!  Yeah I know 10 years late...

SECOND - Joined the Dragon Warriors FaceBook Group!  Dave Morris is on it!!!

THIRD - Put a recruitment post for this game on there and got THREE tickles!

Looking for a finders fee now *wink*

Is one of them Dave Morris? No pressure now GM.

Sadly no, but he is writting DW 2e, d6 based.

No wonder we have an influx of players! Hahahaha
Thanks colm! I didn't know a DW FB group existed! Have applied to join!

Anyone plays duel masters? Haha I have the set but no one to play with! Used to play book 1,2 and 4 with my brother.

Hi there folks.
I am one of the people who saw the post on the DW facebook page. Hoping to join the group.
Thinking of a cowardly and rather weak assassin by the name of Deise (pronounced Day-Sha). Celtic word meaning out ast.

EXCELLENT!  I have a long list of mortal enemies who need a good backstabbing!

Is that JMCE?

Yes JMCE
Still figuring out how to use tjis site.

Hi guys,

Another new player here (although long term DW player) looking to join.

I'm looking at either an Albish born Knight, son of minor, minor gentry, embarked on a life of adventure in an effort to keep the family from becoming minor, minor, minor gentry, or even worse... not. Or an Albish sorceress, born in Ongus, who had to leave following a brush with the law, unable to return home until the seven year statute of limitations runs out without risking having her neck stretched, and never really having planned for any sort of hardship in her life.

Which would be most useful to the group?

I would say the knight, as we just lost one....and also we already have a sorceress and I tend to like just having one sorcerer and one warlock at most. :)
