I read the entry on Harrowdale in the FRCS, it certainly has potential! The town is run by a council of 7 of the richest merchants in the town, but the constabulary is headed by a Sun Elf Fighter5/Wizard4 It'm glad i chose to play this character. Also, which time of the year is it? Which season in particuler, as the entry on the Cold Fields and how only fools venture there in the winter struck me as interesting
Well, I suppose some young djinni sneaking away on his own might be possible........ But he wouldn't have a home region or related benefits, nor a patron deity (so death is permanent). Most divine spellcasters would not cast healing spells for him, though priests of Shaundakul or similar deities may sell such services to a djinni.
But Savage Species gives djinni too many benefits at 1st-level. I'd move their initial Dexterity bonus to 2nd-level. Perfect flight, darkvision, Outsider type, Intelligence bonus, and 100-foot general Telepathy is plenty for 1st-level. I'll have to compare the 3.5 djinni to the Savage Species version to be sure about whether or not anything changes for their low-level savage progression.
I'm going to say no to that feat. It's basically the FRCS Bloodline of Fire but expanded, and the djinni option for it is rather worthless for this game (and just generally pathetic, though there are rare occasions it would actually do something for a lower-mid-level sorcerer or a high-level sorcerer).
Anyway, if you did play a 1st-level djinni, you'd have something of a tough time in combat. They get no armor or shield proficiencies, they start at Medium-size, and their slam attack doesn't arrive until something like 4th-level, though they are proficient in simple and martial weapons at least.
Myth and Legend: It'll be autumn, but I haven't decided the exact date yet for the in-game start. I'll have it decided before I get the IC thread up.
Arkhandus thank you very much for the patience and sorry to be such a bother I beleive i fixed all my mistakes (I really don't know how i ended up with 160 lbs of stuff lol). I took Artist instead of Lingering Song, as Artist is my regional feat, it fits the character background and can only be gotten at level 1. Please let me know if there is anything else that i have missed.
Oh and i understnad that Faerun and 3.5 both are not as popular in these forums, but if we start having fun it would be great to have it run past level three
Looks good.
Only 2 minor things now: you spent 99 gp and 1 sp, so you should have 60 gp and 9 sp remaining (though it's best to split one of those sp into 10 cp, so 60 gp, 8 sp, and 10 cp, since low-level adventurers sometimes have to deal in copper pieces to avoid going broke). Other thing is just that your choice of bonus starting equipment doesn't really help ya; I mentioned in one of the other posts that Knock isn't a Bard spell, so that scroll is worthless to you unless you invest skill ranks into Use Magic Device, and the feather token is of little real use (sure it creates a nice little tree, but how useful is that to an adventurer? Sure, clever adventurers can find some kind of use for it in rare circumstances, but.....). I'm just suggesting that it might be better to take the masterwork item option or the potions option from Evermeet's bonus equipment choices.
Character uses set 2 (16, 16, 14, 12, 10, and 8) for ability scores. I decided to change her deity to Sehanine Moonbow in order to synch her class, race, region and deity a little better.
Selua Thylari
Race: Wood Elf
Class/Level: Cleric of Sehanine Moonbow
Experience Points: 0
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Region: Elf, Wood
10 days Feed (100 lb) (5 sp)
Waterskin (for the Mule) (4 lb) (1 gp)
Total Weight Carried by Selua: 31.5 lb (Light load)
Total Weight Carried by the Mule: 181 lb (Light load)
About the Mule
The mule's name is the elven word for "Dwarf", as in "stubborn as a..." Selua has taught it the following tricks with her Handle Animal skill: Come, Heel, Stay, Work, and Perform. It has one more trick that it could learn, but she hasn't taught it any more, yet.
Vitals
Age: 127
Height: 5'
Weight: 87
Appearance: Selua has the look of a wolf about her, with silvery blond hair that falls about her shoulders and down her back wildly, yet untangled and deep green eyes. Her skin is a bronzed copper from spending most of her time in the sun.
Background
Selua's birth was blessed by Sehanine Moonbow. So said her parents, both of whom were Lythari wood elves from a small wood elven clan that once dwelled in Cormanthor, near Harrowdale.
Selua was destined to become lythari herself, but, just a few scant years before she was deemed an adult and ready for the ritual, a raiding party of gnolls attacked her clan, nearly decimating it and killing both her parents.
The handful of survivors chose vengeance over common sense and tracked the gnolls back to their lair. Selua doesn't know what became of them as she, in a moment of grief and doubt, looked to the moon and Sehanine for guidance and was granted a vision of the moon's light acting as a beacon, guiding her way. The moon's light led her to Harrowdale.
Selua is still prone to bouts of melancholy and throws herself into her devotion to Sehanine, fasting and meditating for long periods. She tends to avoid people and can come off as aloof at times.
Only 2 minor things: you have 1 GP too much, but you also have a redundant set of saddlebags on the mule. They weren't factored into the mule's carried load anyway, but you do get the GP back from them, because you don't need them. A pack saddle holds everything the pack animal is capable of carrying; saddlebags are just for carrying a modest amount on a riding animal.
BTW, Myth and Legend: I forgot to mention it again a bit earlier, but you do need to note on your sheet that Abrielle only has a speed of 20 feet with her medium load (and her armor check penalty is -3 for that, or -6 on Swim checks). This is the advantage of getting a pack mule. And I think her AC line is still set for a chain shirt, not studded leather.
Just checked, yeah, her AC is still set for a chain shirt; which she can afford if she wants it instead of the studded leather. Besides that, I'll also suggest that you might want to swap out 1 or 2 of her spells known; Lullaby is useful but not much for a 1st-level Bard, since you can't cast Sleep yet, and Ghost Sound or Summon Instrument just have limited usefulness. Mainly just suggesting that you might want to pick up Daze or Prestidigitation (especially since your high Charisma makes the save DC for Daze a 14).
So.......we have a sun elf bard who'll focus on archery, magic, and social skills, and a wood elf cleric who'll focus on archery, magic, and perception, both female. That leaves 4 other slots, and we have 3 other prospective players so far. So at least 1 open slot (more if anyone winds up needing to bow out, or if I decide to let one more join).

I'd like to keep the saddle bags for flavor purposes (Selua likes to keep the mule's feed and water seperate from the rest of her stuff). I'll factor the weight in (can't believe I forgot that).

I changed the starting items and added 25 gp to my money since i never paid for the armor. (I am so bad at math it's embarrassing, hopefully i've made no more mistakes ). I changed the spells, fixed the armor penalty checks because of the masterwork armor and then gave the checks with the current load (whcih can quickly be dropped). I am such a bother... Hopefully now everything is fine?
Sure, a shield dwarf barbarian is fine. You can add armor spikes for the normal cost.
I'll check over Abrielle again now.
Her remaining GP should be 88 (she spent 71 GP and change, not 74). Her carried load is 57.3 pounds.
And her skills are just a bit off now; Hide and Escape Artist don't have the armor check penalty for her carried load factored in. Swim should be at +0 normally, and -6 total with the current load. Masterwork studded leather armor has a -0 armor check penalty, so it won't affect her skills, but her medium load does affect them.

Ooook.. I think i got them all this time I'd add more experience points to your profile Arkhandus but I have to reward some to other users first.. By the way i have a quick question about multiclassing. If i have 4 levels in Fighter i have a BAB of 4. And if i take a level in Barbarian does this mean i have a bab of 5 now with the +1 from one level of Barbarian? It's a hypothetical question.
And WD, no I haven't seen that site before, though I never really searched for extra Realms-lore on the net beyond one or two visits to Candlekeep several years ago. I'll take a look at it though.
is there room for one more? I checked the sight that WD showed and could not find an available map of the daoe lands. I was wondering about:
Human
Fighter1
from shadowdale. Orphan, son of a brewer of ale. nephew to a merchant that travels the area. Aunt makes the best apple pies in the dalelands (according to him that is).
occupation: caravan guard
so is ther room for an unusually normal character?
If you are looking for a 6th player (looks like you have 5), I would like to throw my hat into the ring. I've got a 1st level human duskblade that Ive been looking for a home for (I think I saw in another thread that you have PHBII). I'd have to do some mods to him so that he would fit into a Forgotten Realms game, but I'm pretty familiar with the Realms. I've pretty much got every realms book up to the 3.0 FRCS (including the original 1st Edition AD&D setting material), but nothing after that.
Let me know what you think?

ok ... I finally found a 3.x source book with a map in the front cover. harrow dale is a long ways from shadowdale and has no direct access to said dale. I wonder if i should change his home to ashabinford instead? or woould you prefer scardale?
Sorry Rhun, but we've got 6 already; Scott Dewar, Crazy Monkey, Voda Vosa, Myth & Legend, Walking Dad, and ethandrew. Ethandrew just hasn't posted again yet; if ethandrew or someone else decides to bow out, then you can join, but for now I'm reserving slots for these first six.
Scott Dewar, your PC probably just escorted a caravan to Harrowdale and had the good fortune of not running into any fights along the way; what he earned on that job probably accounts for some of his starting gear/coin.
Height: 6' 4" Weight: 275 lb Age: 17 Years old Skin: fair Hair/eyes: Clothing: Personality: mostly stoic, except when he sees his auntie's apple pies, where He suddenly transforms into a mesmerized little boy (sometimes) or a starved little moy(other times) or a poor traveling destute little boy(usually). Sometimes (or mostlikely almost always) just the mere mention of his autinies apple pie is enough to bring the biggest grin you can ever imagine.

background
Evanar was born to a brewer who was the son of a brewer with a long family history of an ale recipie that is said to have been bought from the dwarves of the thunder peaak moutains, or so his grandfather always told him. The truth be told, his grandfather always did pull his lage, so there was a bit of soubt to that story. reguardless, the ale was especially good. so goo that a rival set a contract on evanar's father and mother and his grand parents. the family mordered and evanar too young to know the family trade the young orphan was taken in by his mother's brother and sister in law, uncle Nile and aunt emmie. Uncle Nile is a merchant haleing out of Shadowdale, where evanar's family was. he sold the ale his father brewed, while his aunt made the world's best apple pies.
Uncle Nile set Evanar's sights in a different direction then revenge should he desired to go that route ... merchant tradeing and carvaning. As evanar was strong when he was young, his specialty became sword play and eventually was set ting his sights on caravan guarding. It is this prfession that evanar is busy with as he has traveled down the river ashaba from shadowdale through ashabinford, to a wagon train to harrowdale,which is where our young hero is to day...
