Which was allowed using the 1E Unearthed Arcana. I'm sure several of us played non-evil drow prior to Drizz't making his appearance on paper.

But don't worry...I'm not going to make a drow character for your game.

Do you remember the days when drow were killed on sight in Faerun? Man, now they're a fully supported race in 4e (even 3e allowed them). They used to be the kind of evil that made a DM smile that smile when the worst kind of pain was about to be inflicted on the PC's.... now they are the PC's.

Edit: Didn't realize that Rhun, never played 1e, got started in 2e.

heh, if that cirtain other game shows up, I would do best not being in an alternate here. be at peace all!!

[Rathan]

so does that leave us with 5 now.. or do we still have 6?

[Theroc]

Rathan
Jemal
Renau1
Theroc
Rhun
Kinem

I think that's our starting lineup with Vertexx and one other as backup, unless Scott was the one other.

[Rathan]

Yea.. Scott was another alternate.... leaving just Vertexx as the lone backup...

[Jemal]

wow, i sleep for 6 hours and miss 31 posts! I think this is gonna be a good campaign.

I ALWAYS want higher *L*, I'm used to 32 being an 'average' character, but then I tend to play higher powered campaigns when at all possible.

I'll see what I can do with 28, don't feel obligated to bump it up more just b/c of me.

As far as setting goes, I'm good with anything. My background will likely be non-specific as it is for most of my characters, able to fit into any world.

BTW, sources I'm thinking on using in case you want to veto any:
Completes (Arcane, warrior, adventurer, scoundrel, mage), PHB2, Races of the Dragon

[Rathan]

I tend to stay simple... I usually don't multiclass most times because most of the GOOD PrC's are too complicated for me to figure out.... plus.. I like knowing what I can do and do it easily.. even with mages I tend to stick mostly core.... I like taking spells from other sources but that's about it.... I'm sure I'm missing out on good saves, attacks, spells, combo's... but unless they are pointed out to me I'm oblivious to them heh....

My second option I was thinking about using here is a character made from Ghostwalk splatbook... was gonna make a ghost touch attack warrior heh... would have been pretty cool about this level.... to do so though there's alot of changes, new feats and how they work and alot of rules changes that are a real pain in the ass for the DM....

Makes no difference to me, man, go for it if you want.

ANNOUNCEMENT: No immediately slaying of Rhun's Drow (if he makes one) will be tolerated! (Let him do someting to earn it first, please.

No hard feelings, I hope, DeWar!

Thanks, man, I'm glad SOMEBODY was keeping up with that stuff!

I'm totally cool with all of your sources except Races of the Dragon. Is that a deal-breaker for you?

Well, shoot, man, this game was for you in the first place, so I feel bad not letting you play what you want. (If Rathan plays the ghost touch attack warrior, then Jemal and everybody else can play whatever floats their boats.) I don't feel like learning a tremendous amount of new stuff, and I really don't have the time for it, either, so if there is much of that, I'll be depending on the players to be self-policing to make sure that it's all done correctly. Narc your buddy, get bonus xp!

[Rathan]

Leif.. LOL... easy... the ghost was my SECOND choice.. the wizard with mr. golem was my first :P.... I'll stick with him thanks... besides it's a baaddd idea to allow sources you have no access to... bad bad bad... stick with what you know man ... we players need limits somewhers :P

[Leif]

Thanks, Rathan. It's good that somebody's got my back here. If you haven't noticed yet, sometimes I have a tendency to bite off a bit more than I can chew. Just a bit....

And, would you believe that I had already forgotten, momentarily, about the wizard/golem combo??

[Rathan]

*hands Leif a Zanax and a diet pepsi...* breath... breath my friend and TRY to have fun with this.... I am not looking for anything as seriously involved as Jemals Epic Campaign.. I want this to be fun....we can do good fun yes?

[Leif]

*GULP* *SLURP* *SWALLOW* Ahhhh! Man I HATE diet pepsi, yuk. Under the circumstances, however, it filled the bill.

INNNNNNNNNN-HAAALLLLLLE

EXXXXXXXXXX-HALLLLLE

Ok, how's that? *whew* It's been a crazy 24 hours, man. Yeah, we'll have fun. All of this is helping to cement my module selection, too!

But let me ask a question to everone: Are you all looking for a combat intensive game, or more of a kind of a mystery, with lots of weirdness and exploration?

[Rathan]

I like a little mix here and there because more often then not... the dice start to hate me with a passion after a time.. LOL.... I think with the level we'll have a bit more combat than most modules would of lower level but that's really how intense the module is.... is this a module of your own making or a published one Leif?

[Leif]

One thing, Rathan, Lazarius's con is listed as 12 with a +2 bonus. My ph says that a 12 only gets a +1 bonus.

It's a published adventure, Necromancer Games's "Hall of the Rainbow Mage," just in case some are familiar with it. It has some intensive combat, to be sure, but it's far from a "hack-and-slash" affair.

[Rathan]

let me go check on that... might have come from me fiddling with my stats with the point buy..... thanks for the heads up..

EDIT: Made a few changes here and there for my magic items and bought spells so I could finagle an add-on to my amulet of Nat armor giving it health +2 as well to keep my con at a +2 for the HP's heh
