[OOC] Life in Vein - Recruiting Replacement Player!

Ok, this is the OOC thread for the AU game Life in Vein.

Characters will start at 3rd level, 32 point buy, with 2,700gp to spend on things. No more than half your starting gold on one item. Books allowed for items will be Diamond Throne, Arcana Unearthed, and all three Books of Eldritch Might.

The characters will be staring in the city of Navael, a primarily faen city known as an artist's haven. This adventure will probably include a great deal of mystery-solving, diplomacy, and exploring, though there will be some combat. Some travel will be entailed. A sea journey is a possibility.

Hey Ray! Just wondering if you all are looking for more characters? I've been itching to get into a pbp game for some time. If you've got some space, I'd love to play! Thanks

Jay, I'll put you down as an alternate. If someone has to drop out or can't post any more, you'll move into their slot.

Hey Ray,

I'm new with the concept of point buy, could you give me a quick overview? I know you start with base stats, and pay to increase them, the closer to 18, the more expensive. I just don't know what the base is, and the cost.

Also, I'd like to go with a Mohj Runathane, if that's ok.

Cheers,

Steve Gorak

Steve, point buy works as follows:

9 costs 1 point
10 costs 2
11 costs 3
12 costs 4
13 costs 5
14 costs 6
15 costs 8
16 costs 10
17 costs 13
18 costs 16

Anything below 9 costs nothing, but you get no additional points for taking a lower score.

I'll just confirm here that I'm going with a Litorian Unfettered. I've completed everything but weapon/armor/equipment shopping. I've never played a game where we get to spend so much money up front - so I'll have to think carefully before I start buying.

Also, how should we advance our HP?

This is really exciting! I should have my character up by tomorrow (or Saturday at the latest if I'm a slow equipment shopper ...)

HP will be max at first level, 75% thereafter. If you want some advice on items, or want me to "make" you some magic items, let me know. If you're stalled, for example, you could say, "What's something cool I can get for 400gp or less?" And I'd try to find something for you.

Are we assumed to know each other at start, or are we going to meet as part of the game?

I'm considering a playing a "retired" oathsworn who might find a reason to take up a new oath.

Well, so much for my planned mojh runethane. I'd hate to have two of the same race/class combo unless you have a roleplaying idea for it, Gorak. Just so everyone knows, now I'm working on a loresong akashic.

I forget to mention... I have to work quite a bit the next couple of days. I'll try to get my character in soon but it might be 2 days or so.
