[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4311099, member: 3087"] Got it. Edited my post to reflect. I also discovered that if you use the "takehighest" command on IC you can't see your 4th roll. So, ah, don't do that guys. How much "player input" are you looking for in the world? Would you prefer that applications are sort of vague or should we make up specific details? If we can/should make up details can we make up "big stuff" (famous people, dragons, kingdoms) or just little stuff ("the prince's advisor", "a small town", etc)? Or do you want to do it case-by-case? Have you decided where the "bad roll" line might be..? [sblock=My roll][url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1632570/]Attribute roll for Jemal's 6th level 4e game Past Tense (4d6.takeHighest(3)=13, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=10, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=7, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=11, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=10, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=12)[/url] Total modifier (1st level) +1, +0, -2, +0, +0, +1 =+0 Total modifier (6th level) = +2 [Assuming +1 to the 13 and the 11 (so ->14 and -> 12)] Since there's no real way to know if there are any ones (I definitely didn't get any rolls with two 1s) I'll assume this is my roll unless otherwise informed. [/sblock] [sblock=Character Concept: Verity Thronble The famous traitor] Until 20 years ago the name Thronble was synonymous with honor, tradition and dignity. A small clan of nobles the Thronble's controlled a small keep that protected <some key place>. They were not all religious (though the patriarch and 1st born of each generation were invariably paladins) but each and every one was (at least perceived to be) a hero of the people. Even those that weren't powerful personally usually made their mark on society in some sort of beneficial way (as a poet, or a priest at a troubled church, or fair judge, or as a wise adviser to a lord of greater standing). Now the name Thronble is synonymous with traitor of the worst sort (think "[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict_Arnold]Benedict Arnold[/url]"). Verity Thronble's grasping betrayal led to the family's utter destruction and the destruction of the <key place>; the forces of evil themselves betrayed Verity, but left him alive, humiliated and profoundly regretful. Only fear of where he would go when he died kept him from suicide. [sblock=The Key Place]I'm thinking something like say a mountain pass with civilized forces on one side and "hordes of monsters" on another, or else a keep/monastery placed on top of a portal to hell/someplace else equally bad. For bonus points the evil lich could have been the one that Verity betrayed the Key Place to, and the lich's destruction was supposed to be his shot at (some sort of) redemption that's now gone terribly wrong.[/sblock] 20 years of selfless adventuring have done improved his reputation only sightly (he is no longer pelted with rotting food when entering a community). But he still wears his coat of arms with the dignity that he can muster, and strives to turn the other cheek in his (probably hopeless) quest for absolution. He fears that this new tragedy will be laid at his feet, or equally, that it is his fault, and his sins have come home to roost yet again (what's even worse that they've affected his companions, and possibly more as well).
