Say hi and do your thing, everyone!

Hello, I'm playing a human runepriest.  His name is similar to another character's so I might change it.

Runepriests have Thievery as a class skill, but he doesn't have a high Dexterity and will probably use scale armor.

4th Edition is my favorite edition, so I hope this game comes together and lasts.

I was just asking to change myself.

The "Gentleman" was the important part of the name...the rest doesn't matter so much.

The Gentleman is a Tiefling.  I submitted him as a bard, but I was redirected to Blackguard...and whoo boy does that look fun so it's evil paladin time.

Hi there, Elf ranger here with an ear to the ground. I am likely taking the Investigator theme and will be bringing my bow and speed to bear on any capers :)

I haven't seen a blackguard in action before, so that should be interesting.

Runepriest might not be the ideal leader for two strikers. It offers defensive benefits, which is nice, but seems to focus on increasing damage, rather than attack rolls. More damage is good, in most cases, but might not be that noticeable next to striker output.

But we'll see how it goes.

I bet it will be awesome!

To be fair, rangers have a really high number of multi-attack powers to capitalize on the passive attack/damage roll buffs, and the Blackguard has the best tank of any striker and Tiefling Blackguards get access to some really fun combos with Runepriest powers.

Sounds good. Upon rereading, I realized that the runepriest does have a reliable way to provide attack roll bonuses, as long as he stays on the front line.

The nature of this game gives me hope though that sometimes we'll be able to succeed in encounters just by obtaining some goal, rather than having to slaughter every thing.

Okay, catching up.  Still hoping for 1 more player, but I'll still run the game even if we don't get one.

Character sheets are enabled, so feel free to transfer your information down onto there.  Will be PMing this weekend to hammer out worldbuilding and backstory stuff.

Hi all, glad to be joining the game. Thanks to Guildmaster for being willing to allow my character. I will be playing a slight variant on a Swordmage, the variant being that as a dwarf he uses Hammers or Axes instead of Light or Heavy Blades.

So as you read the description for Swordmage just read Hammer or Axe instead of Light or Heavy Blade. The impact should be that I hit a little less due to the proficiency bonus difference but I do a little more damage when I do hit.

Welcome! That’s a cool variant and a very fitting way to make dwarves more magically oriented :)

Sort of as if he was wielding a kopesh. That's cool. Welcome.
