[OOC] WD's Against the Orcs

[Walking Dad]

This is the OOC thread for my 'Against the Orcs' game.

B'n'B Against the Orcs Recruiting RG IC OCC

[renau1g]

Just dropping a post to say hi!

[Niehaus]

Final version of the Halfling Paladin is up in the RG thread feel free to let me know what you think.

[Padreigh]

Will I ever get used to non-LG Paladins?

But we really are low on long-range hitting power.
I mean throwing stars and javelins are nice but we are in for one helluva fight if the orcs bring along some missile troops.

Sitting behind that nice wooden stockade in the village being peppered with arrows (burning or otherwise) and not being able to shoot back isn't too high on my To-Do-list.

[Walking Dad]

Mental note: more archers with burning arrows

renau1g: Your character looks good. I hope I didn't miss something important.

Ord Sessadore: same as above. You just have to change healing surges to 7 (6 rogue +1 Con mod)

Padreigh: Could you use a similar formating like the other? Just quote their posts and fill in your stats (and powers, etc.)
Does resistances stack? (Poison from both armor and neck slot)
Can one use a magic staff as a quarterstaff?
Rest looks good.

Niehaus: Sling att should be +6 (2 level, 2 dex, 2 prof). Rest looks good.

Insight: Any more questions before you post your sheet?

[Insight]

I've posted my Warlord to the RG thread.

[Padreigh]

Yes, a magic staff works like a quarterstaff (that is why I got confused and wanted a quarterstaff +2 earlier on ).

According to the DMG (if I remember correctly) resistances do not stack.

Will try and change the formatting.

EDIT: Changed the layout of the CS.

EDIT: I just noticed that we have two characters with slings. So we actually can strike back at archers.

[Walking Dad]

Insight, your character looks good, too. But like I said to Padreigh, I would prfer an easier to read formatting. That minimizes mistakes from my side.


Ok, with everybodies character up, and only minor questions, You can discuss here, if your characters should know each other or not. I think we can start posting in the IC thread tomorrow.

[Lord Sessadore]

Thanks for the catch, WD. For some reason I thought rogue base surges was 5...

Anyway, I think I'll pick up a longbow in case we get sieged or somesuch. I just can't use sneak attack or any of my powers with it

[Walking Dad]

BTW: Insight, I like your 'Machete' quote in your sig

@Lord Sessadore: You cannot SA with a longbow? Oh, you are right, one of the things I don't like in 4e. Cutting the weapons avaiable for rogues.

[Padreigh]

I'd prefer the "five complete strangers brought together by a common noble quest" approach.
(Alright, for my character "common noble quest" means : killing orcs for fun and profit. )

I won't be able to make any formatting changes til tonight. I'll take a look at the other characters and see what I can do to format mine in accordance with the others.

[Insight]

Is it OK if the two dragonborn characters know each other? It might make sense (or maybe not... who knows?)

I see Paranthraxus as a sort of crusader. Perhaps he's been attacking the raiding orcs on his own and has come to Baron Loxlyn's aid after hearing of the call for action. Or maybe a few of us have been traveling the land, engaging in guerilla attacks against the orcs, and have come to Baron Loxlyn's keep to see if we can find like-minded adventurers to join the cause.

[Walking Dad]

Thank you both for formatting. I know it is a ungrateful job, but it makes the game run more fluid.

(The last time, my sheet was 'bad' formatted)

-----------------------

Padreigh: Strangers with a common cause.

Other thoughts abot knowing each other?

[Padreigh]

Argivion is in it for the money, plain and simple.

He is a mercenary to the core and would probably have worked for the orcs as well (but they are obviously not hiring ).

What a heartbreaking story

Have you read the IC post for the ingame recruitment speech?

I'm good with that Mordok woud have a more mercenary attitude though, he's not a crusader-y type, but he would know that sticking close to Paranthraxus leads to both wealth and powerful magic items.

His goal is furthering himself as far as he can before the Raven Queen decides to bring him into her fold.

[renau1g]

Oh yeah, can we start posting in the IC yet? or wait until tomorrow?

You know me. Sob stories are my forte.

I could've added poor sick little Timurianthiel (also called Timmy) asking me to avenge his parents by killing the orcs who slaughtered them. But I never liked that little brat anyway (or his stupid parents).

Yeah, I read the recruitment speech. 100 GP for defending a lightly fortified village of 30 against the orcs untill the baron's troops show up.

Not too much, but there is always battlefield loot.

[Walking Dad]

I want to wait for Niehaus and LS (are you ok with shortening your nick?) responses.

But the three who had already statet their relationships are free to post a character description and perhaps some some responses, which doesn't rely on your relationship to the 'missing' characters.
