[Ikthias]

screw it im just gonna keep working on my necromancer, im not playing anything else

almost done with my character sheet and im not starting over

[Thadeus]

To be honest I haven't played a fighter before, but new classes are always fun to try out IMO. ^^

[Mr. ShinyObject]

I'll be DM, I guess. I've done it before, kind of . Me and some friends had the idea of rolling a die to see who was going to DM, leave the room for 10 minutes, then coming back and start a campaign; it was loads of hectic fun and improvising.

 

But okay, I shall be GM. The crossbows will have to wait.

 

Gimme a little bit to look over the rules you guys had. Also, ikthais is necromancer a custom class, or just an evil cleric? Also you know you won't be able to raise anything but, like, some rats until you level up majorly.

I've write the basic rules, you can keep them if you want.

[Ikthias]

actually theres a lot more to necromancers then just having undead minions and its a specialist wizard

plus a second level wizard can cast command undead and gain control of an undead creature so i wont have to wait to long to have a minion

[Thadeus]

So, we have a DM, and it seems everyone's characters are coming along nicely ^^

[Psychotic Ninja]

I'm still lost on the character creation/sheet thing, anyone willing to help me out, just shoot me a PM.

[Mr. ShinyObject]

Few things:

 

1. The rules JJR had are pretty solid, I don't quite get how you guys are doing attributes, but I'm not making a character so I'll just trust you all not to lie to me.

 

2. I'm not sure how to do this over the forum, but I have some theories and we'll see how it goes. At least we all are all active around the same time it seems

 

3. Ikthias, are you a necromancer class or just a wizard specializing in necromancy?

 

4. Whooves do you have a specialization, or are you just winging it as a wizard? If so, I might suggest going sorcerer, it's easier to keep track of and a little less restrictive.

 

5. Our party balance is pretty good. We have a healer (assuming JJR is using his cleric), a fighter/tank, and two squishy wizards. There may be some overlap in usefulness of having two wizards, just keep that in mind. Psychotic Ninja can really be anything.

 

6. Are all of your characters pretty much just your forum names? It would make things less confusing but could lessen some of the roleplaying.

 

7. I'm away form my house for the weekend, but Monday I'll pull up my books and Steam chat with anyone I need to.

[Ikthias]

Necromancers are wizards that specialized in Necromancy, so technically its their class

 

im almost done with my character sheet, ill email it to you when ive made it perfect

[Mr. ShinyObject]

Necromancers are wizards that specialized in Necromancy, so technically its their class

 

im almost done with my character sheet, ill email it to you when ive made it perfect

But there are also home-made and version 3.5 classes that are just necromancers, not wizards specializing in necromancy. But okay, now that's cleared up.

 

 

Oh, and you guys can start making up backstories if you want. You don't need to post it, at least not yet, but it's always fun to come up with one.

[Ikthias]

even in 3.5 a necromancer is considered a specialized wizard

[Thadeus]

So, since we've got a new DM I feel I should ask again, are custom/open source races/classes allowed as long as they aren't broken?

[Ikthias]

Ok im just restating this for everyone (including the DM) knows how we are doing stat builds

 

We each start with 8 str, 8 dex, 8 con, 8 int, 8 wis, 8 cha

with a max of 18 (during character creation)

from there we have 28 build points

the first 6 point in any given stat cost 1 build point

after that, the next 2 stat points cost 2 build points

and the last 2 stat points cost 3 build points

so if i wanted to raise one stat to 18, i would spend 16 build points, with 12 left to spend

 

i hope this simplifies things, it also prevents players from having rediculous stat builds, making it fair for everyone

[Srake]

afofhoudpg. Yes.

Can someone post a compendium of all the rules and who is playing what? Also which edition are we playing? 3 3.5 and Patherfinder were tossed around so I don't know.

I was going to make a Cleric but Jek took that. I might make a Paladin but if that isn't allowed I'll make a Human Ranger if that isn't taken.

...I basically want to fight undead. I think Rangers can take undead as a Favored Prey?

Edited August 11, 2012 by Guest (see edit history)

[Thadeus]

I think its settled on 3.0/3.5 (they are basically the same with some revisions), and neither pally or ranger are taken as far as i know

[Ikthias]

ok im going off 3.5, which is basicly 3.0 but with needed revisions, but ultimately its up to our DM

as for what IM playing, im a lawful evil human Necromancer, Thad is playing a neutral good/chaotic good(he cant decide) half-elf fighter, (our characters are half-brothers on our fathers side) if you have a steam account we can talk about it

plus it would be nice to get a relationship going between our characters

Edited August 11, 2012 by Guest (see edit history)

[Srake]

Sounds good. I would have prefered Pathfinder cause it was the last thing that I had played IRL. But Whatever.

 

I'll be making a Human Ranger who specializes in fightting undead... If that's possible. FUCK, RULES I NEED YOU!

Edit: Gonna see if RedBlade can't help me out/
