Iron Heroes - Legends of Mitterion OOC thread

[Iron Captain]

You can buy the raw materials and use the craft skill as described in the rulebook.
Just link to your rolls using Invisible Castle.

Also please note that heavy armour will be extremely rare thing to buy, so as an Armiger you will almost certainely need to craft it.

Iwatt: Chracter looks pretty good so far and I like the background just one quick question about your skills.

How do you get Jump +14 and Tumble +16? Here's all the bonuses I can come up with
Tumble Bonus = +4(Stat)+6(Ranks)+2(Synergy bonus from Jump) = +12 Where do you get the additional +4 from?

Same thing with Jump where I can only come up with +10.

Jump: +4 for the extra 10' speed
Tumble: +4 for the double dexterity

Kemal learned at an early age that you have to be fast enough to outrun the law. ... and other thieves as well


BTW, I used Hong's Iron Heroes spreadsheet for the statblock. You can find it here at Hong's Iron Heroes' page

Iwatt: Okay I reread the Harrier's description as well as the Jump skill description and can now see what I missed.

Still working on the character and background, but the basic concept is a temple guardian turned assassin for his faith. However, recent political machinations within the church have ousted the old leadership to which he was loyal. Still faithful to his god, but opposed to the new politics, he has left his former position and took to wandering.

Hafrogman: Looks good. I will post something about the gods of this world on monday or thereabouts.

 

[Barak]

Alright, just so you know I haven't lost interest or anything, this week-end is pretty crazy for me, what with a kid graduating and all that jazz. Should have character done mondy, tuesday at the latest.

 

[Barak]

Well I got some free time today after all, so here goes. Let me know what you think.


Character Background
[sblock]
Kadoch was born in the small town of --, in a family with a long, proud history of blacksmithing. Having been born the third son, he was somewhat more free in the projects he could choose to work on, since he wasn't expected to take over the business, although he was, of course, expected to learn the very basics of the art. Like every member of his family, he was built tough from the very beginning, and years of working the forge only improved that natural trait. While not overly strong per se, his very endurance at the hammer allowed him to become extraordinary skilled with it.

His father instilled in him the moral fiber that made him the man he is today. Using your physical might not to bully the weak, but to defend them is simply a way of life.

Having met a travelling "adventurer" in odd, heavy armor at a young age, Kadoch was inspired. He would hone his skills in that direction, picking up some combat knowledge as well, and then leave to travel the land, spreading the name Hammerstein throughout. His father was somewhat doubtful of the usefulness of the idea, but eventually relented, telling Kadoch that he'd be allowed to strike outr on his own in such a fashion when he was able to fashion a suit of armor that would meet his approval.

Years later, Kadoch has finally done so. And the adventure begins..

Ok guys, won't have time to post those promised infos about gods and Religion today, but all chracters up until now look fine and I will give them a very close inspection in the next few days.

So it looks like we have our first 3 PCs we need at least one more plus maybe an alt or two.

I do have a question about equipment. How appropriate are X-bows for your setting? I want to step away from longbows and shortbows with my character, but maybe x-bows are too "modern"?
