L4W Discussion Thread III

It's pretty much the only thing keeping me from playing a half-orc...

Aw, man, you should embrace the half-orc! Don't let the lingo hold you back.

But... but... I want my Aztec-talk.

Also, if I'm going to make the change, should probably try to get it done before any rolls come up in the Zombies and Crooks adventure.

On a random note, if I do go half-orc in about a bazillion years at level 12 I'll be able to charge 12 speed (13 if raging). +2 charge orc racial, +2 charge feat, +1 base feat, +1 Wildrunner paragon (+2 if raging).

Couldn't the background rules from the PHB2 cover this?

Can only get one bonus from that, and I went for stealth as a class skill (relatively important to the character concept, sneak in then go into shock-trooper mode).

I could possibly compromise there, although substituting a language and dropping literacy would be preferable. Mostly because giant isn't even on the wiki language page.

Just a quick question; Would there be any qualms with me using an NPC in an adventure, and then later (when my first character reaches lvl 2) turning that NPC into a PC?

You could use a feat.

I assume you mean an NPC in an adventure you plan to run? I don't think that's a problem. There was a discussion several months ago about using a PC as the hiring NPC for an adventure; I believe the consensus on that was that as long as it doesn't give your PC any mechanical advantages it's fine. I imagine the same would apply to your NPC-turned-PC.

FYI: Whomever set up the L4W Gmail to do the forwarding (I'm assuming its forwarding), could you shoot me an email? I want to do something similar for LEB. Starting to get some judges (could use more), so I need this forwarding.

 

[Ecce]

Well, I just went for the background language benefit.

I certainly never mean to seem difficult, it's just bothersome when a character is 99.9% where one wants it, with one little snag. But, it's all worked out now.

Still needing a judge review for Matlal, sent in the email 13 days ago.
