[QUOTE="Queenie, post: 7044708, member: 8058"] Hi Steve!!! So happy to see you here!!! Lori, that's fabulous! I need to do that for Ruby and her West (and maybe Harrington!) side of the family. Now that we're actually traveling the world and in the area it seems more important. Silvermoon, I don't know HOW you come up with this awesome reference stuff. I've looked over Ruby's character sheet and thought about the change to 5e. I'm torn on my feelings over it. On one hand, it simplifies things, definitely. It'll also probably give me a bunch of skills / spells / talents that I can actually use. Right now a lot of the 3.x bard skills are not entirely "useable" imho. It'd be a long convo to get into my why's - so changing over could be a good thing. Keeping up with the times is also a good thing. However, do I lose a lot of "Ruby" in this process? Specific skills alone - Profession (Poker), Perform (Sing) Perform (Dance), Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, yeah they are still there they just get balled up into one thing. Like as an example, both Jake and Ruby would have Tools (Gaming - cards) and probably Expertise in it. But that doesn't differentiate the fact that Ruby played and swindled people while Jake actually sat and dealt cards for a living. Jake had an edge in 3.x with his +, but in 5e, I believe they would both show the same. If I am doing that correctly. So my only hesitancy is losing some of the specialness of Ruby. I don't think anyone else has this issue though, as everyone else is either starting new characters or has only just begun to build up their character sheets. I didn't even bother to level her up last bump or two, but I'll do it now that we're switching over. [MENTION=1643]Silvermoon[/MENTION], will we still use the Boot Hill rules for shooting? Because I would absolutely hate to lose Ruby's innate (and lucky) ability to shoot a gun yet it'd be wasteful for my character class to take gun specializations lol. :angel: Also, I think we should start a separate thread for recruiting. I'll do it (unless someone else wants to)- Fenris thinks I might have the most recognizable name in PBP games at the moment but it'd be nice to have everyone in there to discuss the game. I'll tag everyone once I get it up. [/QUOTE]
