One thing I have not specified is which world any of you have to be from. The large majority of this story will take place in the Outer Planes, so it really doesn't matter what part of the Prime Material plane you are from.

You can decide to have met each other or not. Take a bit of time to discuss. I will not be starting the story until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest.

   A little backstory then. My character is one of three grandmasters of an order dedicated to the Goddess of Knowledge, Ioun. The order is based on a hard to reach, shrouded island : the Timeless Sanctuary.

   The multiverse is large enough that Agon is probably not from your characters' world, but they might have met him on a visit to the vast libraries his order safeguards ; or during one of his journeys to another plane.

   I don't expect my character to already know all of yours, but we'll see.

In reply to Agon (msg # 2):

Mine is a bit long and in my description, but he's basically a deformed child turned man who comes across a magical ring and gets to live in a druid (primal) camp. He then sets out on his own and makes himself a well known mercenary before ultimately owning it due to circumstances. A few run-ins with Tiamat-ites and he's bound to destroy them all.

   I don't have access to the character builder. Does this correctly link to a spider familiar ? http://www.wizards.com/dndinsi.../companion.aspx?id=7


   Also, anything I should keep in mind when choosing rituals, anything you dislike or don't allow ?

Yes, that's the spider familiar. Thanks for the link!

Try not to choose any evil rituals, and I think we're good :-) I recommend investing in inter-planar travel rituals, if you can. They will come in handy.

I've also got rituals too

do i have to pay market price for rituals gained by mark of storm?

   I'm focusing on travel and divination rituals, as well as utiliy - mostly arcana and a few religion based.

   If you could master bard and/or nature rituals, we would be pretty much covered.

Yes, you definitely must pay for them at market price.

How's everyone character generation going? I am pulling together the background content today and tomorrow and expect to start the story tomorrow or Wednesday.

   My character sheet is 80% finished I'd say - it's up under Character Details. It should be done by tomorrow.

In reply to Agon (msg # 10):

I think I am done, though I feel my HP and thus bloody/surge value are off.

I'm done. I'm a Charisma monkey with a bit of knowledge:
Bluff 21
Diplomacy 24
Endurance 16
Intimidate 24
Streetwise 21
Arcana 18

I'll be the General on the battlefield. I can move around and use teleport if my aegis target is not attacking me. I'll give free Basic Attack and I have some healing power, Inspiring Words.

I also have some interesting bonuses for all of you when spending action points or when making Basic Attack I grant.

Sweet! My ranged basic is pretty nifty, and I'm sure our barbarian has a nice punch to his melee basic.

Harald's mba is at +28 vs AC with 2d10+14 damage.

And I think I am done also
