[OOC] Constables of the 14th Ward

[Leif]

Welcome, Kerlan!

[note of explanation for everyone else: Kerlan has been playing in my Whirtlestaff's Wizards Academy game since its inception. He's a good player, and has the makings of a quality Constable, IMHO.]

We are short a rogue at the moment. We had one, originally, but he withdrew some time ago. I'm not entirely sure that we've set a list of permissible books to use as far as characters go. Propose what floats your boat the best, and we'll consider it. The group is 6th level, but I think we've pretty much established that we don't want anyone starting with levels in a PrC. Again, you're free to submit whatever you like, but we're not obligated to approve it!

If I may say so, your Spellthief concept is intriguing!

Also, if you'd like to take a look at it, here's the Players' Wiki for this game:
http://lauraliesummerhomecampaign.wikispaces.com/ You can find more character generation information there, too.

Oh, and Raul is, indeed, deceased at the moment.

Rather than a list of books, the list of acceptable races/classes is on the wiki. Spell compendium and Magic Item compendium are acceptable sources. No prestige classes to start, but seventh level shouldn't be too long in coming. Float any Prestige class you'd like to pursue for 7th and we'll give you an opinion in advance. We'd rather consider specific classes rather than books. We have an Archivist who is planning a return if his evil masters at work ever cut him some slack, he's got a level or two of cleric as well, so there is a little more divine magic coming.

As a DM I have no preference as to what you play. If I take a look objectively at the current party composition, I'd say spell thief would be a nice addition. Bard or Ranger would also allow for some limited extra healing and the party could use a skill monkey. But hey, if you like brutes or wizards, go for it.

Just so you know- I'm having DSL troubles, so my posting may be spotty until they are fixed. No estimate on time- took something like 4 hours of hold with customer service for even a patchy fix.

Hang in there, pq1! Ma Bell is an old B! Vive le HighSpeed!

Be welcome, Kerlan!

I am assuming that the Tome of Battle is off limits? I would be willing to take the feats to learn maneuvers if needed.

 

[Leif]

Well, I wouldn't say that, exactly. I refer you to Scotley's previous post #932. And it may be awhile before we can work you into the story, too, but since you haven't even submitted a character yet, I guess you know that. Again, look at the wiki for accteptable races/classes. Any other features that you would like for your character should be addressed specifically, rather that just by stating a book.

 

[KerlanRayne]

I know that you wanted more specifics but some books, like Tome of Battle, Tome of Magic, Magic of Incarnum, and the Expanded Psionics Handbook, have mechanics so different from normal books that it's usually the whole book or nothing. (I doubt you use Incarnum either.)

I was looking at the Spellthief but I'm not really getting into the class like I thought I would. Now I'm thinking about an Illuman Wizard / Archivist / Mystic Theurge.

Would I start with the minimum of 15,000 xp and 13,000 gp?

 

[Leif]

15,000 xp and 13,000 gp are what my books say for 6th level characters. You'll need to spend most of that gold. We don't want LOADED constables walking around, after all. And we have a player who may be returning soon who is playing an archivist. That's not a prohibition against you playing one, I'm just pointing out that there may be another possibly single-classed archivist in the party. Your idea for a character sounds good, except for that, though. (Even that's good if you don't mind.)

Oh, and Raul is, indeed, deceased at the moment.

OOC: Jonas would willingly donate his (but not Bruno's) raise dead or resurrection for Raul if it is needed.
