Hello, hello, and welcome to the forum! I will be your guide in this tale of darkness. My claws are sharp and my teeth glint with hunger, and I can't wait to sink them all into your tender, tender flesh.

Er- sorry. Sometimes my baser instincts surge past the blocks installed by the Bureau of the Ream for Humanoid Defense, or BRHD. I tried my hand at becoming a field asset, years ago, but I suppose I ate too many of the Creatures of Interest we chased.

...

SO! Without further ado, let us discuss who you are and what you bring to the BRHD!

--//--

This is an Out of Character thread where we can discuss character concepts and all the minutiae of creating them.

Let's start by talking about concepts. The game pitch by Sardis was for 6th level gestalt characters. What race/species are you planning on playing? What class combinations?

As a reminder, we've agreed that the core rules for the game are the d20SRD+Savage Species. Each player is allowed to bring in one sourcebook that will be added to the library of books available for this game. I would also like to see in your concept what book you plan on bringing to the "table."

Thanks! Let's have some fun!

Source Library
d20 SRD
Savage Species
Fiendish Codex II
Libris Mortis
Heroes of Horror
Tome of Magic

Character Creation
36 point buy
BRHD Mantle (blessing that adds +2 to an Attribute chosen by the player, two bonsu feats, and causes citizens of the Realm to recognize you as BRHD assets.)
13,000gp
Any Medium or Minor magic items you can afford.

Advancement
I will not be tracking XP gained for killing opponents, solving puzzles or completing quests. Levels will be granted when a significant event happens in the story, usually accomplishing a mission. PbP moves slow enough that I doubt we'll feel we're moving too fast.

Hello to any new comers accepted into the game.  I will be your Hellboy-esque Kyton (Chain Devil).  I haven't definitively chosen a class yet it it will most likely be of a martially focused option.  Will make it known once I've decided.

I will likely wait u til the complete library of available source books is determined.

I will be adding Fiendish Codex II to the list.  GM: could you please edit the 1st post in this thread to include an updated list of available source material as new players make their selections.

GM:

Could you please make an editable character sheet area for players.

Also, what are we using for an attribute point buy?

Ok, I think I got the character sheets set up to be user editable. It's been awhile since I've used this forum, so if I did it wrong, please let me know.

I think with gestalt and the blessing, 36 point buy will be plenty. Any objections?

Works for me

Could you please post the pt buy and "blessing/ritual" details to the first post as well when you get a chance.  Thanks.

Yes, thanks. Added it.

Farem.   What are you going with for
For race and class(es)?

I'm getting some interest from people who want to go a little more humanoid than monstrous with their characters. While I enjoy that idea, the main pitch was for monsters being used to protect humanoid society. How married to the idea are you that the PCs be a team of monsters?

It goes against the concept...I just don't understand why people apply to a game if they don't want to embrace the request...that said, you're letting me play what I requested...so if you see it fitting into the game, I won't fight it.

I had an idea... but now I have a much better one. If the GM is going the no-humanoids route (I have no problem with that idea), I will become Lax-at-Hive, the dromite that wants to become Consort or Queen (dromites are asexual till they become one or the other, I think). Lax-at-Hive will make the enemies shit in their pants when it will attack with its energy psionic powers. He will be a Wilder... who may start to build his colony with the Thrallherd PrC.
