Thanks for the add!

Character generation method?

Any prohibited classes?

Cheers

Straight rolls....if you get two stats below 9 can reroll.

No prohibited classes.....so far.....though I'm biased against Warlocks. ;)

This is what I have so far. A simple Knight, as I am new to the game system.

BACKGROUND: Karash the Exile was trained in the ways of the warriors in Clyster.
He is a fine swordsman, but his greed and proclivity for cavorting and seeking
the attentions of the fairer sex often got him into trouble.
Eventually, he was caught in compromising circumstances in the private chambers
of a certain coveted concubine, in the palace of a high ranking Baron.
Although he managed to escape in a rather undignified manner,
the Baron used his influence on the Palace to issue a kingdom-wide manhunt
putting a hefty reward on Karash's handsome head.
Gathering his few possessions and disguising himself in a hooded cloak,
Karash secured passage on the first ship out of Clyster,
in search of quieter waters.
His many peregrinations eventually brought him to the Thousand Islands,
a strange exotic land where he is unknown.

Nice! I was pondering playing an outsider in this exotic setting too. GM & Karash what do u both think about my character being a fiend or relation of Karash who accompanied him to these strange lands?

Sure, works for me. They could have met during the journey to the Islands, or travelled together. Or one could have followed the other.

Works for me...Karash has travelled a hell of a long way...possibly the furthest anyone in Legend has ever travelled so you could be from anywhere really. From Ellesland through to Coradia to Ta'ashim lands...Minj...Batuban...


Also...lets reduce our use of the word exotic it just feels kinda a weird way to refer to the place half my family is from in RL. :)

Apologies!!! Will do. I meant it in a most respectful and curious way.

No worries. :) All good.

Happy to change the land Karash escaped from to something closer/more believable. I am coming at this without any real knowledge of the lore and topography of the setting.
Didn't realise the locations had a RL correlation, either? Thought they were purely fictional.

Well the name Karash seems to be a Polish or Hungarian Jewish name....which would point to somewhere around Hudristania or Molisaria....a variant spelling points to Ta'ashim or Minji possibilities.

Most of Legends countries have real world approximates.  Ellesland/UK, Chaubrette/France, Mercania/Norway-Sweden, Asmuly/Italy etc.

You tell me, happy for his land to be any of the above.

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes...I know tone is hard with text.....but I think it'd be interesting if he was Ta'ashim ( Opalaran, Zheniri etc.) or Minji...if thats within your comfort zone.

I was actually contemplating a Ta’ ashim Assassin or perhaps some sort of mystic so that would work for me. Rolled pretty crap stats so was not quite sure what profession to pick as I usually let the dice lead me and then try to come up with a concept...

Cool.  There are 'knights' ( Zheniri Faris for example) in Ta'ashim lands as well if you wanted to stick with your current Profession.

:)

No toes were injured in the making of this game.
So, I can see the section on Ta'ashim (that seems like a Caliphate reminiscent of an Arabic country) on the reprinted DW rules PDF, but no mention of the Minji? Where do I have to look to get some background on that, to inform my choice?

Disregard last message -- I have found the Minji, info on their civilization was in the Thousand Islands document.
I think Karash will be a fugitive Knight from Ta'ashim, then - I prefer him to be a newcomer to the Islands. Will adjust background accordingly.

[tweaked character background]

Karash the Exile was trained in the ways of the warriors in Demkhor, the Holy City of Ta’ashim.
He is a fine swordsman, but his greed and proclivity for cavorting and seeking
the attentions of the fairer sex often got him into trouble.
Eventually, he was caught in compromising circumstances in the private chambers
of a certain coveted concubine, in the palace of a high ranking Dignitary of the Caliph.
Although he managed to escape in a rather undignified manner,
the dignitary used his influence on the Caliphate to issue a kingdom-wide manhunt
putting a hefty reward on Karash's handsome head.
Gathering his few possessions and disguising himself in a hooded cloak,
Karash secured passage on the first ship out of Demkhor,
in search of quieter waters.
His many peregrinations eventually brought him to the Thousand Islands,
a strange exotic land where he is unknown.

Works for me.

Ok so we have Karash and Made.  Hows our third member coming along?

Both of you do your Background and Language rolls and once we have the results we'll do some cut and paste to localise them.

:)

rolled 11 on 1d100 for Background - Karash's parents were Nobility.

rolled 17 on 1d20 (-2 for Nobility) for Languages = Karash knows no additional language. I guess his native language is Ta'ashim ?

In reply to Karash (msg # 25):

18 - no additional languages.

Re background - elementalist rolls regionally, shall I jump to a different profession's table?

In reply to Made (msg # 26):

Any tweaking to spell lists, o illustrious GM?

He was in Zhenir so thats Nascerine.

Then 9-12 months on a ship....so lets give him some basic Opalarian and some basic Garudan ( Largest Empire in the Thouand Islands), Khitan ( Khitai) and Sanskriti ( Minji) that he learned learned from sailors on the long voyage.

His Kutami will be very limited to begin with but I'm sure Made can teach him.

Made is local to Nusa Kutam?  Or elsewhere in the Thousand Islands. If elsewhere he can roll on the table and we'll just geo-shift the results.

If from Nusa Kutam just use the Mystic table.

In terms of spells....I think they can mostly stay as is with just some FX differences that I'll leave to you.  But feel free to swap out for any PG spells you like the look of.
