Hello, all. I'm new here but not so with D&D. I know the wait list is fairly large but I figure I can wait. I'm thinking about the two characters needed to get in and I'm thinking about a pure sorcerer who just happens to take the search skill as much as possible but only after filling up with the concentration skill and also has spent a huge lump on at least one weapon (preferrably a very, very, powerful scythe, seeing as how it would be used after his spells would be used up or useless in a given circumstance and weapons are a good last resort, the scythe specifically due to favouritism). Obviously, a variety of spells would be incorporated into the concept to cover different scenarios but am admittedly intrigued by spells that could be used for purposes not originally intended for but can work very well within the logical boundaries of the game, so I might take a few of them instead of more obvious (or seemingly obvious) choices, if for nothing else but to experiment and perfect the number of uses they could have.
The second concept I have in mind would likely be a meat shield (most likely fighter as I loathe playing barbarians as rage has never grown on me) as I likely would not be able to effectively play any other concept and I wouldn't want myself to simply make a duplicate (more or less, ex. pure wizard) of the first concept as that is far too easy and I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
My posting schedule would be to be most evenings and weekends as well as possibly on lunch breaks at school (not absolutely definite on this as some sorts of gaming sites get blocked at school where others are not). Your minimum of 3 posts a week should not be any sort of a problem.
As for character generation, where am I to put the links to the sheets so they are ready for your approval and others looking? Also, as for character portraits, is there any specific style of a picture (generally looking like my character if I can so happen to find a close enough match, customized, etc.) that you would want? I tried to answer the latter question but the amount of posts, even with 4 pages, gave me a headache when I went looking for specifics.
I'm not sure but I think that is all for now until I finish my sheets and whatnot. Thank you for your time!
Edit: Actually, for the sorcerer's spells, I am very fond of AC buffers as well so I might put a fair number of those in there as well, hopefully not at the expense of too much versatility in my spell selection.
