Welcome! We'd love a dwarven fighter. I hope you can afford all the good dwarven gear with only three lifepaths!

Also, HandofMystara, I sent you my email address. Let me know if you need someone to walk you through the character creation process. Maybe we can G-Chat it. It should be quick and painless (except for beliefs and instincts, which require way too much thought!).

I don't think you have to break context or create a new song. Maybe you could use Antiphon Union to combine Discerner and Song of Form. If you want a Tolkien-esque precedent of Elven disguising magic, look to Beren and Luthien entering Angband.

Now that sounds like a good time had by all. Hurry up and throw your characters in the other thread guys! We've got rabble to rouse!

Okay, I'm locked in. I'm getting real antsy to play! If we don't get a tank right away, do you think we could start and see if one joins in a bit? I imagine we'll have a lot of stuff to do at the keep. Like hit my half-bro up for moolah. And try to guess who's a doppelganager. (It's not me!)

Name: Ferrantos Age : 21 Concept/Bio: Vengeful Metal Artificer/ The Thyantian Bastard A young, one-eyed man of noble bearing. Lifepaths: Born Noble, Arcane Devotee, Lead to City Dweller, Sorcerer Stats: Wi: B5, Pe: B4, Po: B3, Fo: B4, Ag: B4, Sp: B6, Speed Mult.: x3.5...

Oh man, doppelgangers! I knew I should have gotten Second Sight.

I think Constance is pretty close to being done. I think any five of these beliefs are useable. Beliefs: 1.The more people fear the wild, the more they need me. (States her characters thoughts, good to go). 2.I can pardon those without Faith (non-humans). (This is cool, since you could...

There's Sight of the Owl and Nocturnal in the Monster Burner. You're right though, let's see how it gets played out and what happens during the trait vote. Anyway, I'll use that as my instinct unless you have more comments. "I always imbue my allies' weapons in the dark. That is when I am most...

I'll take your suggestion about imbuing around a fire. How about: I imbue my allies weapons in the dark. That is when I am most powerful. Maybe it could eventually transalte into a +1Ob to imbue during daylight hours? Vellekhyr is pretty closely tied to Ferrantos through backstory and...

Okay, here's updated Ferrantos. As always, your comments are welcome. Name: Ferrantos Age : 21 Concept/Bio: Vengeful Metal Artificer/ The Thyantian Bastard Lifepaths: Born Noble, Arcane Devotee, Lead to City Dweller, Sorcerer Stats: Wi: B5, Pe: B4, Po: B3, Fo: B4, Ag: B4, Sp...

That's pretty rad. Although no melee skills? Am I the only one with any? I'm supposed to be the magic-user. If we get into a fight our party is going to scatter like the wind. Which will be pretty fun, actually. Thanks for grabbing the Lyric of Healing, by the way. That sounds useful...

I think Constance is turning out to be very interesting. I'm curious how we'll all fit together, but a lot of that can be worked out in game. Also, you were right about that skills math.

It might be useful if someone opened Field Dressing. It doesn't have to be you, but it will be some rough times if we get wounded and have to wrap ourselves up with only Beginner's Luck. I think you may have left a specific skill point or two on the table when you burned up your character. I...

Thanks for all the great advice! Okay, I have rewritten some of my beliefs and instincts and come up with a few extra. Hopefully you can help me pick out the best of them so I end up with three of each. And other players, please feel free to chime in to let us know which ones you think would be...

Maybe looking at this finished character will help people out. I burned this up using the website I mentioned. (Also, I website let me buy Missing Eye for 1 trait point, but when I looked it up in the book, it was 3. I'm hoping you'll let me keep it since it is so rad). Also I am very willing to...

I like it. Then we know each other from elsewhere. Was it my idea to go to the Keep on the Borderlands? I need to get antecedents from somewhere and monsters are a good source. Do you want to come along to keep me out of trouble? Are you worried about me in general? What makes your character...

To Kobold Stew, consider opening the crossbow skill. It doesn’t matter if you have low power when you use a crossbow and if you get Spear Tip bolts they pierce armor like cheese. Plus you can carry it around loaded and they make for great Instincts. I'm looking to integrate my character with...

So that’s my basic draft. I took some inspiration from the song Black Wings by Tom Waits. I am happy to discuss or change anything that seems lame or not fun to anyone. What is everyone else like? I’d like to know before I get too permanently attached to a concept. I was thinking of taking...

Ferrantos - First Draft Okay, after reading the Enchanting rules on the Burning Wheel Wiki, I had this for a concept: Ferrantos, Vengeful Metal Artificer. I am a Thyatian, the bastard son of some minor nobility. It makes my younger, but legitimate, half-brother uncomfortable when I am...
