Hello all! I'm excited to get crackin' with the game. It looks like the party so far is a bunch of prickly, jaded introverts. Which is great, because Gorlash is a therapist errant.

In reply to Ardos (msg # 7):
Oooof, I'm with ya. I wound up with a nine point character.

I'm still stoked for the game, but I just gotta say. I hate non point-buy stat generation.

Ooh I do not like these stats. One stat over 12? Oh that hurts so much

Yowch.

Yeah I'm not gonna lie my enthusiasm for the game has taken a big hit - I don't know if my class can be made workable

Well, hopefully we can get some party members with some bombin' rolls to carry us. And upstage us.

You can make it work, I got basically the same stats. It's all about the RP side of things. Us average people becoming extrodinary

@Ardos, @Gorlash

I hope so (for both) because I'm doing some number crunching to see what I can pull together but it's gonna take some work to not be dead weight.

On the bright side, at least I didn't have to keep the 5 and the 7, so silver lining!

It'll work, being average just makes it sweeter when you succeed.

The chance of any individual 3d6 roll being 16 or higher is around 5% or 1 in 20.
To get an 18, it's 1 in 6 to the third or 216 to 1 (.0046% I think?).

I actually don't mind playing this way, so long as someone isn't running around with multiple 18's or anything or no bonuses at all (eww). It actually used to be worse.

Back in 2nd ed. I had a str 16 fighter who did 1d8+3 (3/2) with a rapier.
The two axe wielding orc ranger with strength 19, at level 1, did 1d6+14 (5/2).

It's almost like that :/

Complaints aside, it was mostly a kick to the confidence to roll single digits four times during stat gen. As it stands, she'll be functional, if only just.

12, 12, 14, 11, 10, 8

Ouch.

Trade ya :P

wow I thought I would be low on stats.  Apparently I hit the jackpot.

15 15 14 11 11 10

Yeah yeah, rub it in why don't ya? ;) :P

We're all definitely going to be hiding behind (and buffing) you during combat, I know that much

Sorry for the short delay guys, but the first story post is up!

Hey everyone, I'm sorry for my silence, and for what I must now do.
My work has recently begun letting people go, and it's fallen on the rest of us to pick up the slack. Hours are increasing and when I do get home, I'm too tired to do much of anything but shove some food in my mouth and go to sleep. As it stands, I am currently incapable of giving this game the attention which it deserves, and must step away. I am sorry to cut and run like this, and wish you all the best.

In reply to Malakai Al-Nabih (msg # 27):

Sorry to see you go dude, but believe me, I get it.

I've already contacted one of the lurkers. Assuming he gets me a character before Monday I'll find a way to work him into the group. Otherwise I'll contact one of the other Lurkers and we'll get someone in.

In reply to Malakai Al-Nabih (msg # 27):

Dude I completely understand.  2 years ago my wife was diagnosed with ALS and talk about turning your world upside down.

We will still be here when you get back to being able to play!!!

Good Luck!!!

Sorry to do this guys, but do to recent round of lay off at work, my time constraints are way to tight to keep up in this game.

Best of luck to you all, but for now I'm going to have to pull out.

Greetings!

I'll be playing Neil, one of our replacements.

I'll be building him up and getting a brief summary over to the character creation thread shortly.

Looking forward to playing with all of you.

Hooray another member of the Boring Human club, welcome Neil!

Thanks Marinela.

Submitted my sheet a few days ago, just waiting for the thumbs up before he hops in.

Hi, I've just joined as a new wizard.  Not the best at magic admittedly!

Welcome Neil and Shuv'az'quri! It's nice to have you guys, feel free to hop into the story thread as if you've been with the group the whole time.

I apologize for the delay, weekends are normally hard for me to post because I have my kids on weekends. This weekend however was even worse because I've been under the weather. I will be making a new story post tomorrow as I am starting to feel much more like myself. Thanks for the patience and understanding. See you guys tomorrow.
