I'll be reviewing it shortly :)

Current Character Sheet Standing

Finished:

In Progress

| Seralessa Vadmal| Psion-Factotum| Sheet Received/Undergoing Review|

No Sheet Yet



| Undecided 2| Ranger-Scout| Awaiting Sheet


Everyone should feel free to make a post in the Prelude just to help you establish your character :)

I'm going to give the other 3 a little more time, I had hoped to start yesterday but we'll give em a little more time. The rest of you keep posting getting in character in Prelude. It would help if the other 3 would as well, might help em get an idea on what to put on their sheets :).

Minor changes are okay on your sheets until we actually start. At this time I'm going to set the start date for Sunday July 30th. At that point character sheets will be locked for a while and no changes allowed after that. I hope this will be an enjoyable campaign. Don't get overwhelmed by the NPCs I probably will add more as time goes by (and remove some as they die).

In combat when we get to it I would prefer you roll initiative and then in the same post post an action and all related rolls for that action. I'll then sort it out as I make the post after everyone has posted. Note you can also list multiple actions based on what's happening in the same post and I'll pick the one I feel appropriate. For example you might post I'm going to attack the orc next to me. Well Bob kills Orc before your go so as alernative you might say if Orc is dead I'll move 10' and attack that Ogre. We will have a lot of characters, during combat it will be important to post as quickly as possible, if we get to a point where 6 or 7 have posted and we are waiting on the others more than 24 hours I will decide the others actions to move us along (I realize real life takes over sometimes).

Hello. I finally decided to go for Factotum instead of Lurk.

As such, I will try to focus on some roguelike skills, like search, disable device and tumble. But is there a vital skill that hasn't been taken by anyone?

It would help me a lot if you tell me what skills will be your forte.

Well, I'm a Swordsage, so Tumble and Concentration will be my go-to's, along with Listen. Have a decent Spot check too, even if it is CC. High Wis helps with that.

If your looking to craft Weapons or Armor, I am your dwarf.  Other than that, I have a few knowledge ranks and concentration.

Is it cheaper to craft weapons than to buy them? Because I could use a Large Greataxe if you're offering... ;)

If you can find me a proper forge, it generally costs 1/3 the market price to craft it.  Large Greataxe is 40 gps, so 13.4 gps.  Now, the check DC is 15 to succeed.  With one week of work, I would have to roll a total of 28 to complete it in that time frame.  Even with all of my bonuses, I would have to have access to Masterwork Weaponsmithing tools to roll that high.  Wow, having thought of that, I am amazed that any masterwork items are done in a reasonable time frame.  It would take my character 3 months to craft a masterwork item (roughly) unless I had access to a dwarven forage.

Yeah, you pretty much need a portable hole with a forge inside and it takes forever in game time. Crafting is all about the downtime and having a check so high you can safely "rush it".

Oren could always open a shop up in Hommlet if you want. Though that might take a sponsor at first.

The current smith in town is an armorsmith, however they have no weaponsmith. (and you'll be better than him as an armorsmith in a level or two :) )

In reply to DM (msg # 85):

Seralessa Vadmal has submitted a sheet now and needs to make a couple little changes and she'll be ready to go.

That leaves just 1 person needing to submit their character the Ranger/Scout :). Hopefully they get it in today :)

Would be nice if some more posted in the Prelude.

Seralessa just has one minor change to make :) and she'll be done.
Himo has decided on several things and hopefully has his sheet in today (he was previously Undecided 2)

In reply to DM (msg # 87):

I guess most of you have noticed I locked your character sheets.

Himo has submitted some information but needs to complete his sheet hopefully today or tomorrow so we'll be ready to run on Sunday.

We will be starting the game Sunday.

I have one other thing for you all to read over and I'd like to see you submit in PM to me, your priorities or your principles/superstitions :) This will help me know if you are within your alignment or not as that can be difficult to judge especially on play by post.

I'll be making that thread available here in just a moment :)

In reply to DM (msg # 88):

I moved all of you to group 1 :)

T1 is the adventure thread when you get finished in Prelude :)

I've had a couple ask, no I'm not forcing all 10 of you to stay in one party. I do not suggest breaking into a party smaller than 5 though (so you could do two parties). However if you want to stay together that's great too (there is strength in numbers).

Are we all supposed to be in the main thread now. I wasn't sure if we'd finished the prelude.

In reply to Velox (msg # 91):

You can comment to Prelude still if you like, but yeah I'm assuming everyone made it to Hommlet together, for purposes of moving to hommlet it's assumed you traveled as a group to deter banditry....

But no banditery was found along the way :)

In reply to Velox (msg # 93):

Yep :) because you are dirt poor, all armed and traveled as a group :)

Ha, we do make very poor targets for bandits :)

You are a priest of a religion, not of a place. It can be because he lives in the town, but we ARE in the town, why the need to say "I live in this town"?

Also, let's see how much people donate to the victims of the bandits. Victims that are not of this town because the city guard or something protects them... And the poor box is supposed to be for a town's poor people, not victims of pillage from outside the town...

As a player I don't like this at all. As a character, even less.

In reply to Larmiun Dol'Uten (msg # 96):

Priest of Hommlet is a title, Much like say someone might be Minister of Jefferson Baptist, where Jefferson is the town and Baptist is a denomination. It's just you are in a chapel of St. Cuthbert so it's understood he's a priest of St. Cuthbert.

I'm sorry you feel offended by this.

Do you not like it or does it raise suspicions?

I am not offended! I just think it was suspiscious. Sorry if I expressed it wrong. It is just that in Larmiun's shoes, I would be looking everywhere for signs of bandits.

You made some very logical conclusions about your concerns and I'm glad it just raised your suspicions. I hadn't even considered Calmer to be a potential bandit lord, but I like where your head is :)

Okay :) I'll update the main thread after some rest :)
