Thanks for the invite!

So, the arcane caster and rogue slots are available? I fancy rogue, myself. You say SRD only, does that include non-PHB stuff that's open source? I ask, 'cos I fancied playing a dromite for a bit of wierdness although I can adapt an old halfling character otherwise.

PS My DMG's in the attic. Could some kind soul remind me re: the point buy costs?

Yes, I know. But I think we need a OOC thread anyway and I like my RG threads without to much talk.

Good question. Yes, I think as much standard 3.5 as possible.

@Dr Simon: Rogue/Ranger is fine. Both are skill heavy classes. But you will lack (or pay cross-class penalities for) the 5th rank in rogue-only class skills.

[Halford]

Are we ready to rumble?

[Walking Dad]

The game will start after my Base of Operation game ended. The players are in the last two rooms of the last dungeon.

BTW: Padreigh, we will use the standard (PHB) gods.

[Halford]

Ah, got you, let me know when I we kick off.

[Leif]

We await your pleasure with eager minds, oh Great Dungeon Master!

[Padreigh]

@WD
Do I have to pick a god or can I decide to follow an "ideal"?

Rulebook

If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, he still selects two domains to represent his spiritual inclinations and abilities.


Although I can't remember how you decide which weapon is the "favoured weapon" of a "cleric without a god" ...

[Walking Dad]

I would prefer a god, but an ideal is ok.
Here is somthing from the spiritual weapon spell:

The weapon that you get is often a force replica of your deity’s own personal weapon. A cleric without a deity gets a weapon based on his alignment. A neutral cleric without a deity can create a spiritual weapon of any alignment, provided he is acting at least generally in accord with that alignment at the time. The weapons associated with each alignment are as follows.

Chaos
Battleaxe

Evil
HeavyFlail

Good
Warhammer

Law
Longsword

I would say, choose warhammer or longsword.

[Walking Dad]

IC thread is up!

With one game nearly finished and the other taking a break...

Complete your characters!
