A halfling.  It looks like my characters are like my saving throws: I always wind up short.

Which one?

Urmdrak said he would take Halton.

I'm playing a cleric in a different game so I'm looking for something different. I'll pass on Tzothagri, even though the name is cool.

I'll take Daddy Warbucks, I mean 1 HP Stanis.

Also, who had the signet ring?

Also if you had a 0-level PC escape from the well, you can upgrade that PC to level 1. If more than one of your zeroes escaped, you can on level up 1.

Nope, of course not.  That was my mendicant character, Chaoxiang.  His intelligence is only 9, so he won't get another saving throw for 3 weeks.

Both of my other characters escaped, so I'll level up the halfling, Uriwan.  Katarina the fortune teller will remain at level 0, but does she gain some XP?

If Gervaise sprints like crazy, does he get to make level 1 then? How do you level up in DCC, I've never actually had a 0-level character survive this long :)

First step is to pick a class. Although if you're an dwarf, elf, or halfling then your class is automatically chosen for you.

If you're a human, pick whether you want to be Cleric, Thief, Warrior, or Wizard. In case you have any positive ability scores, the relevant abilities would be:

Cleric - Personality
Thief - Agility
Warrior - Strength/Agility/Stamina
Wizard - Intelligence

Luck is hugely valuable but you probably wouldn't select a class around it. Although thieves have some neat tricks with Luck.

In reply to Keele Road Crew (msg # 530):

Yes, I’ll give everyone else who escaped 3 XP. If Solom is defeated you’ll get another 4,

Also, Jack, make a Pickpocket roll. :)

20:35, Today: Jack Quick the Beggar rolled 11 using 1d20+4.  Pickpocket attempt. – 11

...plus whatever luck is needed. : )

Well lookie here, you palmed the ring during the confusion!

In reply to The Judge (msg # 535):

:cheers:

Let's go shopping!

Now, do you want call in reinforcements from the next town?

(Recruit more players?)

I think we should offer more people the chance to join the epic meat-grinder that is DCC.
Also, how bad is it that my 3 characters who each had a positive score in something died, and the guy with three stat penalties survived? I think Gervaise will be a fighter, with the agility, personality and intelligence penalties.

We have, what, five players at the moment? (It's hard to keep track with the multiple PCs and the swapping.)

My personal experience is that 1 GM + 4 or 5 players is best. For me that's a good combination of having a diversified group while also giving everyone some time to shine in the spotlight.

So I would vote that we don't need more participants. DCC is already chaotic enough with some people having multiple PCs and then trying to keep them all straight.

OK…so each of you has at least one 1st level PC for the next wave?

Is Stanis leveling up or is still at level 0?

Jack, lvl 1 and Tarin, lvl 0 reporting for duty.

How much would the ring be worth?

In reply to Stanis Grindenwald (msg # 541):

Level him up

It’s worth a favor or boon from the Elven Lord who first gave it to his mistress.

OK, I have leveled up my halfling, Uriwan, to level 1.  If we are going shopping, he could use some armor, and a better weapon - maybe a shortsword or handaxe, or even a crossbow.  Also, do we have any other halflings in our party?  If not, then he could be the "lucky" halfling for the group.

I am also still controlling Katarina, who didn't quite make it to level 1,

Stanis is a halfling moneylender.

He'll loan you money for armor and a weapon, low low rates.

Does anyone in the group have extra armor or weapons they'd be willing to give or trade to Uriwan?  He has four pairs of nice gloves, lovingly hand-crafted by his own self, that he can trade! :-)

If not, then he will cut a deal with Stanis for some gold to buy some padded armor and a short sword (if Judge is OK with that) - that comes to 12 gp.  I'm sure a fellow halfling would give him an extra generous deal... right?
