[CoC d20] Tatters of the King (OOC)

[Yellow Sign]

Hey YS,

I'm still here and want to continue playing. For some reason I didn't notice you had started this thread about the game after the crash. With all the restart threads and whatnot when everything came back up, I must have missed this one. On top of that, I have been mostly offline over the past few days as work was a bit hectic. Good to see you are planning to continue.

So, present and ready to play!

Toric

Glad to hear that your still in the game. So that makes 4 players then.

So how do you want to work this? Start back up at the reception? Hummm...

Yellow Sign: What kind of character would be of the most help to the group? I am currently thinking about creating a medical doctor or some sort of professor but let me know what would be needed most or is still missing from the group. (Brawl seems to be covered by Lukeworm).

Jefferson was born in the United States, but was sent to boarding schools in Europe at a very early age by uncaring parents. He became fascinated with the history of the world while visiting the museums of France, German, and Britain. He later enrolled at a British university near London to study archaeology, and graduated with honors. Sadly, his parents passed away before he finished school, but his inheritance has allowed him to begin planning expeditions of his own, specifically to Egypt to study the pyramids.

Jefferson is a suave product of proper education and aristocracy. He dresses well, if not as fine as he could, and he has an overwhelming charm that women find irresistible. Lately though he has begun to have strange feelings when visiting certain museums. He is usually quite at home working at night at the museums, staying after the other staff has long gone home, but certain statues and items have begun to evoke unnatural fear in him. He sometimes thinks he hears noises or seas someone when no where is there, but he as written this off as paranoia and thinks the coming trip to Egypt will do him good, with its exercise and fresh air.

Anthony is a professor at Oxford University. He has lived in London for six years after having been offered a job teaching at Oxford while he was a professor New York University.

(Okay, that should get things moving. I will add more to his history soon and probably will add more to his possession list as well. I haven't totally decided what he is a professor *of* at Oxford but probably Art or Psychology. If you have any suggestions in this regard Yellow Sign, feel free to run it by me.)

----

Psychology professor will work. I'll probably ditch Knowledge (astronomy) as a core skill and replace it with Psychoanalysis. I'll post him in the Rogues Gallery soon.

Toric,
Check over this sheet. I was from the OOC thread and I don't know if you changed anything.

Picking things up at the reception sounds good to me...

 

[Iron Captain]

How many ranks does a character recieve for a language he gains via his Intelligence bonus?
How many ranks does he have to begin with? Just one?

You don't gain any languages because of an INT bonus. That was a typo in the book. You just get extra languages other than your native one when you spend skill points to get ranks in the Speak Other Language skill.

 

[Iron Captain]

Do you add your INT bonus when making Speak Language checks?

Sorry for so many questions character is almost done.
