[Recruiting Fresh Again!] The Old School: 1e AD&D

[Gli'jar]

Great. I'll see about making a character. I donated my 1st edition stuff away years ago so I will have to use the OSIC. I'll make a few rolls but you'll have to let me know for some things, like secondary skills for example. Can we do weapon specialization?

I just found my old campaign stuff, complete with deities. Here's a pantheon for your characters.

Solinar, LG god of the sun, truth, protection. Symbol: sun amulet

Sounds good, Scott. Lets go with Solinar. Should we have journeyed to the Old School together? Or met there? Things to think about.

I posted the updated character in the new thread.

2. You can fight with two weapons with a Bastard Sword in one hand and a Hand Axe in the other, with penalties of 0/-1, but remember that a Bastard Sword, when wielded in one hand, functions as a Long Sword only. You don't get the higher damage.

I was wondering what your interpretation of that would be. Do to the comments position I thought it was mainly in regards to bastard sword much better Armor class adjustements. Regardless I'll stick with the bastard sword, gives me more options.

Woot, I'm excited.

1. Languages: You can't learn any more. A half-elf needs an Intelligence of higher than 16 to learn additional languages.

2. Silly me, I forgot your spellbook!
Offense, Defense, Misc. (1d10=2, 1d10=7, 1d10=5) From p.39, DMG
Spellbook: Read Magic, Charm Person, Shield, Identify.

It looks like you're ready to go!

1. Since they're marked, you can keep the scores, but remember that the 1e order is Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, Charisma.

2. Your secondary skill is 1d100=40 Mason/Carpenter.

3. No Weapon Specialization; this is pre-UA 1e.

Let me know if there is anything else you need.

I see my spellbook is done randomly. That's fine, but what about the cleric spells? I had picked Cure Light Wounds (2) Protection from Evil. Is that all right?

Cleric spells aren't random; you can just choose from the list. It's only the magic-user's spellbook that is random (but without chance-to-learn penalties) at start.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

The following characters are ready for addition to the characters thread:

Amirad, Human Paladin (Thondor)
Lidia, Human Druid (ghostcat)
"Kel" Greyleaf, Elf Thief (garyh)
Unnamed Human Cleric (Scott Dewar)
Litlandial Mohindran, Half-Elf Cleric/Fighter/Magic-User (The Digger)

Post your characters here! Once they're in, I'll get things started and add people as they get ready, themselves.

Still in development:

Creamsteak's character
Gli'jar's character

Okay, we're ready to get started! The game starts here.
