Sleep sounds pretty cool.

x10 = 80gp to start

It seems I am looking at a thief, or fighter with better dex than strength.

BECMI is my favorite version of D&D ever!

 

[KirayaTiDrekan]

Woohoo!

Two players is what I had for my first ever D&D campaign and this is based on that so...booyah! I'll be leaving recruitment open, though, in case we get more.

With those scores, your best bet is a Thief, though Fighter, Magic-User, and Elf are also strong candidates as well.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Looking at that low Constitution and Charisma, I think rogue would be the best bet, especially since I'll be unable to purchase expensive armor and other important fighter equipment with only 80gp, but I'll see if anyone else joins up first before making a final decision.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Odd double post... are we going to eventually use the weapon specialization rules?

 

[KirayaTiDrekan]

The Campaign Setting has been updated with details on dwarves. Bear in mind that the campaign setting material is written from the perspective of the Pathfinder era, in the year 1157.

For this game, the dwarven schism has occurred but the Empire of Thune has not yet invaded Telgar.

 

[Ben Reilly]

This will be my first time playing a serious PbP game, but I'd like to join up if possible. Brand new here if it's not a problem.

STR 12, DEX 6, CON 13, INT 13, WIS 13, CHA 9

Looking at doing a Fighter or Elf. Haven't exactly narrowed down which yet.
