Yeah, Erimel is used to spotting traps and pitfalls in the wild, but is unfamiliar with the types of things dungeon builders may have included in their constructions--he's never spent a lot of time indoors. Hopefully he'll learn quickly. {OOc translation: I goofed and didn't power up Search...

Hello. Umm...let's see. A little about myself: I've been playing various role-playing games on and off for about two and a half decades now, ever since high school. At the moment, I'm running a very fun World of Darkness game--but WoD is not D&D, and I've been kind of jonesing for something...

I've added a few finishing touches to my character in the post above. I hope that I'll be chosen for this game, but if not, that's okay too. I'll just, you know, sit in the corner and cry. :) Seriously though, this looks like it could be a fun game and I'll be interested to see how things...

Yeah, you can hold a shield in one hand and cast with the other, no problem. Except for, as themind mentions, a shield's spell failure chance. With a light shield or buckler, that's 5%, for a +1 bonus to AC. You'd have to decide if the tradeoff was worth it. If you came across a neat magic...

Here's my proposed character. Name: Erimel Nailo Gender: Male Race: Elf Class: Scout / Wizard Size: Medium Alignment: CG Deity: Corellon Larethian Level: 3 / 1 Exp: 7,000 Campaign: Return to the Temple STR 14 (+2) ( 6 pts) DEX 18 (+4) (10 pts) (+2 racial) CON 12 (+1) ( 6 pts) (-2...

We have tagged the books. People will just rip the tags off (tearing out pages or part of the cover if need be) and make off with the books anyway. The tags, to be frank, don't slow anybody down. We find torn up tags (and pieces of books) hidden in corners of the store all the time. I don't...

I'd like to put in name in for this one. I've just finished playing the Temple of Elemental Evil computer game and had a blast with it. My idea is for a swashbucking elven scout devoted to Corellon Larethian.

The spellthief is basically a cross between the rogue and the sorceror. He doesn't have quite as many skill points as a thief, and misses out on a few of the thief abilities, but he gains the ability to cast spells around fourth level. The spelltheif gets sneak attack (although a little slower...

I happen to work at a Barnes & Noble at the moment, and maybe I can shed a little light on this. My store happens to be one of the company's "high-shrink" stores, which means that we lose about five hundred thousand dollars worth of books a year. Some of that is due to inventory errors, I'm...

But could a Warforged be mutated, or would their construct-like physique mean that they'd be immune to mutation? I'd like to have him look sort of non-symmetrical, the metal and wood parts of his body all twisted out of shape.

Do you have room for one more player? I like the concept you have going on here. Are these mutations caused by the effect of magical radiation? Perhaps some sort of energy given off by Khyber Dragonshards? If so, then I think it would be neat to play a Warforged mutant. It would be fun to...

Well, it looks like we're ready to get started, I'd say. Unless there's anything we're missing? Rapida, do these characters look okay to you, or would you like us to do some further work? Is everybody else ready to get going?

Hmm...I think the Warlock sounds like a good idea. They're pretty versitile, and their ability to keep tossing magic unendingly is great in the WLD, where there are a lot of encounters and few safe places/times to rest.

You could try sending an e-mail to chaosevoker (I believe his address can be found in his public profile). Or we can just assume he's not going to be able to join us--he hasn't posted in a while. I think it is probably okay for us to go on without him, or to let Macrovore take his place.

Okay, so if I've read everything correctly, we've got a gnomish sorceror, a dwarven fighter, an elven rogue, and a human spellthief. Two more players are still coming, and it looks like we could use another front-line fighter and a healer of some sort. What do you guys think?

I can post the basic information for Favored Soul, if you're interested in it. Of course, whatever sort of character you'd want to make will be cool--I'm not trying to influence you unduly. I just thought it might be a neat option.

Hey, Catavarie, Might I suggest Favored Soul? They're a neat class (from Complete Divine), they work just like a sorcerer except that they're a bit better at fighting (better hit points, better base attack) and they draw from divine spells instead of arcane spells.

Okay, I've noted your advice, Rapida, and I've corrected the stats. Here's the character: Vox Galadnodel Race: Human (raised by elves) Class: Spellthief Level: 1 Exp: 0 / 1000 Alignment: Chaotic Good Strength: 14 (+2) Dexterity: 16 (+3) Constitution: 7 (-2) Intelligence: 16 (+3) Wisdom...

Excellent! Looking forward to it. Of course, since the WLD is designed to take up a year or two work of realtime gaming, on a Pbp it could be a couple of decades before we finish it up! Here are my rolls for my character's attributes, which means that the final numbers will be: 16 14 7 15 16...

Hey, if you still have room for another player, I'd like to be a part of this. I enjoy dungeon crawls and I'm good about posting regularly. I know the Race series books weren't specifically mentioned in your list of allowed sources, but is there any chance I might be able to persuade you to...
