I think there will be 1 to 2 more entries. After that I'll close RTJs :). I think most everyone from the original thread has applied (except 1 guy so far). I also invited a couple folks to join in.

Oren and Undecided 1 are wanting to see what the party needs. I don't know what the other 2 folks will be either.

Hopefully we get these specifics nailed out and start the adventure soon :)

Barbarian/Bard might be a cool combo
Barbarian/Druid is always a strong combo if a bit overdone.

You could be a Barbarian/Wizard, it's an unusual choice, maybe not take the wild mage part :).

We have 1 Druid already. Find something you are comfortable with though (but please keep in mind these adventures can be very harsh at 1st level, hopefully you guys being Gestalt and 6-7 of you will help on that part.

Well we need a skill monkey, so there's that to consider. Also someone who can talk their way out of a paper bag. Bard/Rogue maybe? Kinda sucky with the requisite skills though.

I've always wanted to try a Warmage. Maybe that can be my next character if I die...

Well then, I think I will go for Fighter // Incarnate then.

Sucks that we start out destitute, but hopefully this is end up with us getting some real wealth.

It looks like we have two people with rogue skills, hopefully one of them went with the trap finding and disarming path.

A few classes have the diplomacy skills, but its always more about how you play your character than your rolls.

To the Character Sheet!

Howdy!

I'll be Druid/Wizard. :) So, basically a swiss army knife. :p

I'll be delving deep into knowledge skills, and should be able to provide a lot of tactical support and battlefield control, with a bit of healing. :)

Maybe 1 more who inquired on race restrictions but hasn't officially applied yet. I'm going to turn off RTJ now, though if that last fellow is still interested I'll let him join.

I'm at work so I"ll only be on a little the next few hours.

In reply to DM (msg # 40):

I've got a few questions on race.

If you choose to be a nonstandard race (that is not in the PH) then expect prejudice up to and including hostile action from NPCs. An orc or goblinoid spotted near town will be enough to call the town militia up, and possible action from Rufus and Burne.

Other race subraces for example Wood Elves is acceptable (They actually live in this area) though Drow would probably get an extreme reaction.

Only races with LA +0 can be selected as you are 1st level. (However note as the game progresses other races may open up as we progress should your character fall a new character of the appropriate level can be created including those with maybe higher LA). Such characters will still be subject to prejudices.

Incarnate sounds needlessly complicated. Something I'll likely never try, but you can have fun with it. ;)

The race thing sounds fine. I'll likely end up doing some sort of LA race, assuming we can do a buyoff eventually too. Nothing too crazy, maybe half-giant or catfolk.

The DM mentioned to me he wanted to start by next week, so that would be preferable, but I don't think there's anything set in stone yet.

In reply to Ailishi Urcmon (msg # 47):

Those of you taking 2 different Psionic Classes at the same time remember you only get the better of the Power Points/Day from both classes not both classes power points. Your power points will be in a pool useable for powers from either though.

You would also get the better of Known Powers not both based on the gestalt rules. Though you could pick powers from both lists.

This might have some of you rethink your combos but better to get it out now while we are still under character construction.

Incarnate is a little difficult, but there is flavor.  Its really no different than selecting your strategy as you go along.  Alignment wise, how many Lawfuls we got?  How many Goody two shoes?

Question to DM, will there be downtime to craft items in this game?  It matters for later on, so I can craft armor, weapons, etc..

The principle alignment of this area is LN (St. Cuthbert), so whether the party is or not the locals tend to the Lawful alignments.

I do hope there will be time for crafting in the future. We have so many folks though it would probably just be okay we rest for a week or two and then you do in that time whatever :) (rather than playing out each day).
