    [IK] The Corvis University Discreet Investigation and Retrieval Union (OOC)

    We haven't actually talked about the frequency of posts yet, Slippshade. I'll try and keep the storyline interesting so that people will want to check in as often as possible. I'm not going after any kind of "game balance" when it comes to classes or races, and am trying to build the adventure...

    [IK] The Corvis University Discreet Investigation and Retrieval Union

    One thing I forgot to mention is that I am not using the optional ability adjustments for humans. HP should be: 6+4.5+4.5+3=18 Remember the bonus skill point for humans, so the totals should be 44 + 11 + 11=66 skill points. Weight has been reduced to 1 lb. I think you mean armored greatcoat...

    OK, I know that this is my fifth post in a row, but I thought I'd provide a little visual aid for the upcoming IK game. Here are some sights you can check out to get the IK flavor. Privateer Press IK Miniatures Cover of the Iron Kingdoms Character Guide (PDF) Matt Wilson's Art IK Warmachine...

    BTW, if you guys know anybody else on these boards (or not on these boards for that matter) who you think might want to join us, we only have four players so far. I was hoping for at least one more! I know IK is not the most popular campaign setting, so I didn't expect a deluge of players.

    You might want to consider the IK feat of University Education, taitzu. Here are the details: UNIVERSITY EDUCATION [General] Prereq: Int 11. Benefit: All Knowledge skills are class skills for a character with this feat. In addition, the character gains a +2 competence bonus to three...

    There are no "generic" humans. Check out the basic info post on the first page for a wide selection. Let me know if you'd like more info. Each ethnicity has its own strengths. As a cleric who has chosen Solovin as her patron Ascendant, you weapon of choice is the longsword, and you must...

    I'd also be interested in an alternate position. I'm more than happy to play almost any charcter, as long as I can call him RORGAAAN!!!! Just kidding. I'll keep on watching the thread to see if anything opens up.

    You can if you like. There are a number of different relgions in the Iron Kingdoms, but the predominant one where you are right now is the church of Morrow, also just known as the Church. If you'd like info about other churches, let me know. The main difference in the IK when it comes to...

    In terms of ethnic origin, you can really pick from almost any group. Cygnar has become of a meltingpot, although Midlunders, Morridane, Caspians, and Thurians are the most common. Also note that I mentioned above that Concentration is a class skill for all fighter-types. I had promised more...

    You're not late at all TZ. Do you know what character you'd like to play? So far we've got one ranger, one rogue, and one sorcerer. Are you familiar with the setting?

    Comments on Alaios O'Aodh You almost have it right, Karl. Just a few minor comments. Karl, this part of the ascendant bonus is only for Clerics. Non-clerics only get the extra language. As a Midlunder, you do get Knowledge (history) as a class skill, however. Also, in the IKCG, only Shyr...

    Being publicly seen as a devoutly religious person will certainly put you in better standing among the clergy and those Corvisites who regularly attend that church. There will still be plenty of folks, however, who don't know you from Adam, and who will treat you as a member of your race, not...

    [IK] The Corvis University Discreet Investigation and Retrieval Union (OOC)

    Sounds like a good idea Devyn, although you would definitely stand out in Corvis, being of Idrian ancestry. Another thing to consider is whether you have joined the local criminal gang or not. If you've been "practicing your trade" for any significant length of time, you will have run into...

    Just a few things, Karl. The racial/national distinctions can be a little confusing in the Iron Kingdoms. You are of Midlunder ancestry, but are a citizen of the country of Cygnar. Magic Weapon is no longer on the Sor/Wiz spell list, it's on the Gun Mage spell list. If you'd like to pick...

    Oy, you got me, Karl. I double checked the figure on magic items, and it's actually 150%. I also was not very specific. Most scrolls and potions are fairly common (except for healing potions, which fall under different rules). Let me quote a longer passage from the book which will explain...

    Curatives Here are some non-divine means of healing. Most have a primary and secondary effect (which takes effect after one minute). Ansleigh's Wound Seal: 20 gp Primary: Converts 1d6 points of damage to non-lethal. Secondary: Fort save (DC 14), if successful 1d3+2 healing, if failed...

    Note on Spellcasting and Material Components In the Iron Kingdoms, battle spells do not rely so heavily on material components as they do on a wizard's or sorcerer's ability to harness and create patterns with magical energy. As a result, players can ignore the need for any material component...
