I'll try to get a basic outline of mechanical info up later tonight (skills/stats/etc.).

Okay, here is the first draft for the background for review. I'll keep working on the rest of the sheet- at this point she is going to be starting as a Bard, and I'll see what develops; might be Warlock, might let her obsessions get the better of her and go into Dragon Sorceror... History: Six...

Okay, will fold that into my background- as a relatively junior researcher, Gwen "Joy" Jackson has never actually worked with a real specimen, only with data, video footage, and so on. She is interested in getting hold of "first-hand" material. Could I change one of her free musical instrument...

Working on background. How much contact or information does humanity have about their new enemies? Is there video/holo footage, or have there been personal encounters (besides whatever happened on Mars)? Have there been any bodies or tissue samples? Or has the conflict been primarily...

Okay. Let me bat things around a bit, see what I can put together. I may be snowed in at work again tomorrow, so I'm not sure when I will have a post together. Basics are: Either Druid or Bard; 'Outlander' background for field research background (Survivalist/explorer as much as scientist)...

Any preference between Druid and Bard? Druid would be more scouting/survival focus, while Bard would be more skills/social. Basic background is the same, just a matter of focus...

J'hanna swung at the pirate again, this time missing even more dramatically as the man dodged wildly on the pitching deck. She set her feet as best she could, keeping her shield up and her blade moving... Longsword attack misses, 1d20+5= 8; roll http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4766103/...

"Crikey! Look at the teeth on that one!" Six years ago, xenobiology was (mostly) a theoretical field of study- until the Mars expedition changed everything. Gwen Jackson was just finishing her thesis on the environmental adaptation of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles when she was summarily...

My thought would be a Xenobiologist- someone who was originally a marine biologist until the events of the Mars expedition made Xenobiology more than a simply theoretical field. I was originally looking at Lore Bard with a bit of Old Ones Warlock, but I don't want to be too close to Dr...

1. So what might be a better scientist fit: Astronomer/astrophysicist or Xenobiologist? 2. Is Arcana a viable skill choice at this point? 3. For language choices, should we use normal human languages?

Maybe a Lore bard (Scientist with music habit/background), MC with warlock as the voices in her head get stronger?

J'hanna swung again, trying to press her advantage, both the rolling, crowded deck was nothing like the solid ground of the practice field. Her blow went just wide... With a low growl of frustration, she tucked her head down behind her shield and bulled forward past the man, moving towards the...

More importantly, what are the penalties for attacking left-handed if you aren't really left-handed? Are there penalties if you have six fingers on your right hand? And, of course, if you go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line, do you have Disadvantage in the battle of wits?

Mina continued to pace along behind most of the others, not QUITE hiding behind Treygar. While she couldn't resist a nervous glance up towards the goblin, she moved with the light tread of her elven kin, and her bow was steady in her hands, an arrow ready on the string. Dexterity (stealth)...

The last remnants of "fog" and the swirling chaos of the fight kept J'hanna locked in place for the moment- despite her intentions, she didn't even notice the fight developing around Aedon. It was tough enough for her to tell friend from foe, since even the faces of her own ship's crew weren't...

Mina was content to let those who seemed to have experience take the lead in scouting. The acoustics of the cave, especially the sound of the stream, kept her distracted- her eyes seemed to dart back and forth at each change in the sounds around her. And the smell was beginning to get to her as...

I'm willing to cede the healer spot to Lerrick- I can't seem to find any of the 4e books I actually need for Joy right now, and I can't afford to resubscribe for one game. Books may be on loan- I'm pretty sure I only have my Essentials stuff in the house. I think Fhangrim is a healer too, so...

This looks pretty cool! I don't think I have time to add another game, but I'll definitely be lurking along.

As the two ships closed in on one another, J'hanna knelt just long enough to strap her helmet in place. She didn't pretend to understand just what was going on here- was the other ship hostile? was it just some kind of big misunderstanding? As the fog blew away, she stood, close to her own...

Mina trailed along behind the others as they headed into the cave. She even paused beside the goblin's corpse for a moment, obviously considering whether or not she wanted to recover her arrow- in the end she couldn't quite bring herself to wrench the shaft from the creature's body. Once...
