I'm a rogue.  Unfortunately, I have one important flaw when compared with other rogues.  I do not have any skill in disabling devices.

Then you're a skill monkey, not a rogue! ;-)

In reply to Ellys (msg # 91):

That's part of the reason Dungeonscape expanded that role to Rangers and Barbarians. No rogue player should be required to have ranks in Disable Device if their concept doesn't fit

I told you.  I'm an executioner.  In rogue terms, I'm a face, a confidence trickster perhaps.

*waves*

So two wizards as well. The tenth guy's a druid? ;)

Working on Rorik, sorry about that, busy weekend with inventory in my store coming up. Rorik was concepted to be a disabling fighter, disarming, tripping, etc... I am still going to try that, but it might take some time.

That's okay, Birahu wants to live forever as a lich wizard! ;-)

Ellys is thinking of possibly taking levels in Bard later on, not sure when but my earlier thought of making her a cleric of Corellon Larethian seems more than a little redundant and Bardic Knowledge helps with the higher level concept I have in mind.

Could ask the DM REALLY nicely about the cloistered cleric, best of both worlds

I thought this game was straight PHB? Am I wrong?

the players are all straight PHB... I have not decided yet if I will open other books later on yet or not

as DM, I will have access to all the books so that I can add flavor where I think it needs it

the 10th and final player is a cleric, just needed to wait for a name to add her


as far as the cloistered cleric... not right now

So we're fairly load balanced anyways with our three clerics, druid, two rogues, fighter, barbarian, and two wizards

I wouldnt count everyone... you are 2 separate groups...

*eats a apple*

In reply to DM on Duty (msg # 104):

Yes hence "load-balanced"

Hello, everyone!  Cleric of Fharlanghn here, and happy to join you?

Group 1 Birahu, Ellys, Korda, Margaret and Raymond

which is: Wizard, Rogue, Cleric, Barbarian and another Cleric

Group 2, Captain Joses, Noreen, Zann and presumably Rorik and Sister Aliana

so that's: Two fighters, two clerics and a diviner?

Looks right.

Worst enemy for group 2: a lock.

In reply to Captain Joses la Sonrisa (msg # 110):

A large hammer?

In reply to Birahu (msg # 111):

That will work. Stealthy group ftw.

A Goliath or Dwarf with a maul!

I can do locks as it happens, just not traps.  I have the tools, just not the expertise.

In reply to Ellys (msg # 114):

Ouch!
