[AD&D 1e] Temple of Elemental Evil OOC

We're picking one from the three to start with. After we burn through our first three characters (Because who are we kidding? We're going to burn through them) you can feel free to make a character with a more, shall we say, "forgiving" character generation method. And I'll check over your equipment for you Scott.

Whatever you do don't do math after the fifth one.

I'll check them I'm really tryign to figure out 1e encumbrance. It can't be as easy as I think it is.

And Fenris we are picking one form the three. Oh and I think your 6 STR 3 INT character has to be a fighter.

Under INT it says INT 5 "Here or lower the character can only be a fighter." Think that chumps the minimum STR 9 needed.

With the 17 CHA why not be a leader instead of a warrior and get all your henchmen to fight for you. Or at least till you find some Gauntlets of Ogre Power.

Ninja'ed.

Hey who says my character is going to die. I thought he might if I rolled low on the HP but I got a 9!

A 9 out of 10! And DT got a Perfect 10!

We are going to kick some major butt at the moathouse.

But just in case...

What method are we talking about? I like 4d6 re-roll all 1's and arrange in any order you wish.

I'm just guessing on the dying thing. Maybe we'll pull through. Hopefully we'll pull through. I think it's better to be pleasantly surprised. In any case, Scott, I've got your equipment sorted out. One issue was that you missed the conversion rates. There are 20 sp to 1 gp, so you've got more money than you thought. On the other hand, you're weighed down a lot more than you thought as well. You're nearly at your encumbrance limit.

As an aside, please don't ever make me do that again because it took a while

. I think we can afford to be a bit laissez-faire with mundane equipment unless it's really heavy or bulky.

Hey just wondering how you came up with these numbers? Are they in the DMG?

If the above is right then my numbers are way off.

I've got prices from the PHB, or I just accepted Scott's prices on things that didn't appear in there since they seemed reasonable. The encumbrance in gp came from Appendix O in the DMG, or was my best guess or was a combination of the two.

HolyMan · Jul 6, 2012

Searching for the appendix I found this...

List of 1st Edition AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide Appendices - EN World: Your Daily RPG Magazine

Maybe [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION] needs some help finishing those?

Deuce Traveler · Jul 6, 2012

I am going with only one character at a time, because if I roll for three I'll lose track of them. Samion Adams sounds like a perfect character name.

Scott DeWar · Jul 6, 2012

I was thinking of a unique idea such as a dwarvin fighter thief named scott dewar from the land of forgotten realms.

Scott DeWar · Jul 7, 2012

can we do this please?

I keep forgetting to address a proposal: fighter specialization mentioned in the osric.

[sblock=Weapon Specialization]
Weapon Specialization (optional): With the permission of the GM, weapon
specialization may be selected during character generation. If weapon
specialization is not selected during character generation, it remains
forever unavailable to the character, barring some magical or divine
intervention. If weapon specialization is in play, fighters may take a
second proficiency in the same weapon as the first, granting them one
extra attack every 2 rounds with the weapon (hence 3/2 attacks with
a melee weapon at 1st level, 2/1 at 7th and 5/2 at 13th), +1 to hit
and +2 damage owing to their skill. Specialization costs one proficiency
“slot” for melee weapons and crossbows, and two “slots” for missile
weapons other than crossbows.

double Specialization (optional): For melee weapons that are not
polearms or two-handed swords, a third weapon proficiency may be used
to specialize further; this increases combat bonuses to +3 to hit and
+3 damage with the weapon.
