The Game of Kings OOC

I actually knocked out two alternate versions of my character. The first one is an elvish Wizard version (that's probably the truest to my initial concept) and the second is a dedicated human fighter (which will probably require the most altering of the flow of the character history because he's in no means a pushover in combat whatsoever)

I was trying not to make it too specific to make it possible for you to have some possible plot hooks. I could describe whatever killed Partash' parents in more detail if that's what you're looking for. I kept his goals relatively vague on purpose to make him fit in more easily, but if you want me to go into more detail, I can do that. I'm just trying to figure out what else is needed.Ringmereth said:
As for Partash' role in the party, I figured he'd be the primary walking medi-kit and a secondary melee combatant. I'm aiming for a Lawful Neutral fellow with ranks in all the Knowledge skills that Clerics have access to and he'll be taking the Meditation and Protection domains.

Announcement:
This morning I awoke to find my PC in critical condition--I can't even get it started up. If anyone knows what to do when the machine can't figure out "WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\agp44.sys" your advice would be greatly appreciated. I thought it might be an error with my video card, but pulling it out and switching to my onboard graphics processor didn't do a thing for it.
At any rate, I don't have access some important files for the game, and my internet access is limited to what time I can sneak in on my dad's work PC. I'm not sure how this is going to affect our scheduling, but Jackalope and I will try to figure something out as soon as possible, and I'll keep my eyes peeled for tech help.
Thanks in advance for your patience (and hopefully assistance).

stonegod: the group could function without the inquisitive elements, but if you'd like to make use of them, we can certainly make room for that in the game. This comes down more to a matter of your preference than what we need to make the campaign work.
mcnathan80: you've got a good start on Pem's backstory. The first thing you should do to expand it is decide on a gender for Pem--changelings do have one, even if they shapeshift into a member of the opposite sex, and on top of that, using "him/her" instead of one pronoun distracts from your writing. Secondly, I'd like to see his role defined, as well as some expansion in his background--for example, writing about what he seems to be running from.
James: if you'd like to write out what you'd do with Dragen's biography were you to run him as a wizard or fighter, I'd consider those options as well. I do like the cleric/archer role, though.
MadMaxim: I understand how you're trying to make room for plot hooks and such, and I appreciate it. The result, however, just comes off as a bit bland. He's kind, he's caring, he's humble, he's courageous, he's wise. He doesn't seem to have any particular problems or struggles, and inserting something to contrast those positive attributes could make Partash much more interesting. For example, you mentioned his parents being killed--what if their deaths appear to have been caused by someone unnassociated with the Dreaming Dark, causing him to doubt who he should be crusading against? Adding something like this would make Partash a much more compelling character.

Could be a disk issue (then see and follow the steps here) or USB issue if you started using a new USB device (then see and follow the steps here). I'd suspect the disk issue first, but I'm not a certificed MCSE.Ringmereth said:
Noted. As I said, the negotiator aspects are more important than the inqusitive, so I may change that around. I'll let you know.Ringmereth said:
Hopefully the suggestions help.

I have tweaked Vhir once again, removing the inquisitive aspects while keeping the negotiator/manipulator aspects. This fits more in line w/ his background; his new skill (Concentration) and Feats (Sudden Still, Force of Personality) reflect his strong personality and desire not to be captured again. I spelt this out in the "Ability Justification" block I put on his sheet.

Bront: We're starting at 4th with no spare XP. However, you may assume that Carver expended his item creation pool at each previous level and use that to craft initial items.
stonegod: the changes are fine. Also, I like your 'Ability Justification' section--it's a good idea.
Also, thanks for the links on the disk issue, but that's not my error message. I'm hunting for other options... right now I'm considering pulling out my hard drive and putting it in another PC so I can either repair the driver files or pull all my important files off and reformat. We'll see.
