Reminiscing, Re:AD&D (Games 1 & 2 in progress in Playing the Game Forum....)

Three times per week should be enough, I hope. So....

DM: Leif
Players:
1. Jacob Marley
2. Kravell
3. steeldragons
4. ?

Shaping up nicely so far!

Would you be planning pure Player's Handbook for characters or would you bringing in that new-fangled Unearthed Arcana? Do you have an idea of what you want to run (a world of your own to share perhaps) or is the deciding still in the works?

I'd love to find a home for my AD&D character that I was using in IVV's game that suddenly ended...of course, we were limited to the PHB and what we rolled, so my PC could change depending on what sources and character generation method is used.

Don't forget your thief skills. My, Turthain of the Emerald Cloak may be 1st level for a while!

Don't forget your thief skills.

Good call!

 

[Crothian]

If you are just using the PHB multi class elves that are thieves cannot wear chainmail.

Really? I thought I double checked that before grabbing chainmail. I'll have to take another look.

 

[steeldragons]

I'm pretty sure they can wear chainmail, if multi-classes...but suffer the appropriate penalty to their thieving abilities...unless it is (by DM fiat, perhaps? or actually bought as...) "elvin chain".

Shoot...now I'm going to have to go check that, myself, again.

Multi-class thieves can wear chainmail, but can use none of the thief abilities whilst doing so. Once you move to Unearthed Arcana, tables of penalties for elfin chain, studded and padded armour were also added.

Cheers!

Yep, confirmed this in my PHB a few minutes ago.
