Huh...alright. Not exactly what I thought I had saw. I swear there was something in one of my books about "alternate familiars" that referenced tiny elementals. The Improved Familiar feat looks like it would allow a small elemental, but not until 5th level.

I was going to suggest Improved familiar. I'm not aware of any way to start with an arbitrary elemental as a familiar.

Cool, cool. I'll either just start with a normal familiar and swap out later, or not have a familiar at all.

I'll try to get my PC finished up tonight.

My PC is probably about 90% finished...just need to add the finishing touches. What are we doing for hit points after first level? 1/2?

Full hp at level 1, HD/2+1 every level afterwords (so d4->3, d8->5, etc.).

Sorry about the confusion. Would it be ok to just assume Othric found out about Plavin some other way, and the post frpm the other board showing Plavin's thoughts of not really wanting to get involved was their first meeting.

Y'know, at this point I think it's unlikely Lucien is going to post in the thread again and join us.

I think we're on the same page. Your background is as you wrote it: Plavin is new in Gate Pass and had not gotten involved in the Resistance.

As a cleric of Boccob, Othric is well connected to the magical community, so it's not unreasonable that he's heard of Plavin from other magic users. Othric thought that Plavin /was/ in the Resistance for some reason, though, even though Plavin isn't. So Plavin's response fits fine.

Re: Lucien, I'm assuming he's not interested.

Based on the fact that his post expressing interest is his one and only post on these boards, I'm guessing he has disappeared. Happens a lot with newbies to the boards, unfortunately.

Erg. I just realized I'd bought Rashelle a horse and riding sadle but forgot to take any points in the ride skill.
Would you allow me to swap a couple points out of heal or should I wait to level?

Go ahead and swap points. We haven't really quite started yet.

Speaking of character skills and stats, everyone needs to make sure that there's a final version of the character posted somewhere in this thread. You can update an earlier post or post it again, but I need to be able to find it.

concerro, I know you swapped out expanded knowledge for overchannel, and that meant you lost a power known, but it's not on your sheet.

pneumatik, do you have plans to start a Rogue's Gallery thread in "Plots and Places" or are you just going to keep track of the PCs in this thread?

Hmmm ... a Rogue's Gallery sounds like a great idea. Everyone, please post your characters in this thread. As you level or get phat lootz, update the post.

I'll use the thread as a very convenient resource. Keep all discussion in this thread.

concerro, post your character in the Rogues' Gallery thread that pneumatik linked to a few posts up. And your background/descriptive text should be in the same post as your character stats; there's no point in posting them separately.

I'll repost Liiros in the Rogues' Gallery sometime Thursday; sleepy now.
