Shackled City - OOC I

[Jarval]

The book is called the book of exalted deeds. I've looked through it, and it seems good, but haven't bought it or the BoVD yet. I'm also thinking about getting the complete book of Divine to see if there is anything in there that I could use with Ayden.

Since Manz is waiting until he gets back for us to meet Raven, we're just waiting on you guys now to get the pcs made and intro posted. Not that I'm rushing you guys, but yanno, I'm rushing you guys..

Not a problem. I'll have Kiyoshi posted soonish (this evening at the latest), so hopefully I won't need too much rushing...

As for the Book of Exalted Deeds, I've own it, and I like it. There's some slightly dubious game balance to some of the feats, but it's really aimed at a gaming style where role-playing restrictions balance game mechanic advantages. And to qualify for a lot of the PrCs and feats, the character does need to be Good with a capital G.

 

[Jarval]

A couple of quick questions:

1) What setting are we using for this game? I note that we're using the Greyhawk pantheon, but are we playing on Oerth or in a homebrew? Is it OK if I insert a distant far-eastern culture for Kiyoshi to be from?

2) Majin, do you want/need me to e-mail details of the Shugenja class to you? I don't mind doing it, but it'll take me a bit of time to do as my scanner isn't really designed to deal with hardback books. To be honest, the Shugenja isn't all that much different from a sorcerer mechanically, abeit a divine sorcerer specialized in a particular element...

 

[Jarval]

One down...one to go...schweet Uncle Joe's coffee this waiting is killing me...

 

[hippocrachus]

Who's character are we waiting on...? :\

 

[kirinke]

Whoot, just posted. Sorry for the delay. Couldn't find the thread an it was right in front of me. talk about 'now where did you see it last' type of thingie.

oh it's a bit long but intro's r' sometimes like that. ^_^

 

[Verbatim]

Meant that as Kirinke getting her intro post in, and then Jarvel getting into the swing of things as well.

Sorry for the confusion, but I just had to use the Sweet Uncle Joe's coffee comment...

 

[Verbatim]

Woohoo...now it is all in Jarvel's hands...

Jarval - You can say Oearth is the setting and yes you can add the bit of land you'd like to use. From flipping through Shackled City's adventures it doesn't seem like you guys will get much chance to really go elsewhere besides the immediate surrounding area, and the possibility of other planes. To make it easier on you until I pick up the book, you could just type up what your character gets for the current level you are. You'll probably only need to do that for one level up cause it shouldnt be that long till I get my rear in gear and pick up a bunch of the books I've been missing out on lately. Posts for the IC threads coming up in just a bit.
