    Don't worry, Sugar_silk, I'm still waiting to integrate myself into the party too. Not sure which angle I'm going to take in yet, HM has something cooking for me, but I'm not entirely sure what... :) I love roleplaying - for me combat is very much an annoyance in these games, but it's a...

    I wouldn't say that at all. I can't wait to get stuck into the RPing side of things, and once I start accumulating items and experience, I'll be ruthless with what I observe/comment on/interact with. Slightly unfortunate for me personally the way this battle has gone so far though. I appeared...

    Battle at Harkon Manor

    Nimbly side-stepping infront of the closest Treylor soldier to put an obstacle between himself and the enemy archers, Elms grabbed his shortsword in both hands, squeezing the grip tightly. Deciding to do away with the finesse of battle and try to put his brawn to work. Not being able to find a...

    DnD 3.5 no-magic setting, lvl 1

    August 10th is my birthday, so I may not post until August 11th because I intend to indulge in several alcoholic beverages and wouldn't want my first post to be "hdjckwownfjsiwnfne skfjrjfrfkflswq... LOVE YOU... Djforlwmdk." or something of that nature ;) As for the setting, sure, break the...

    I think it is kind of slow around here...(postponed)

    I've been slightly pre-occupied by work, but I'm back in the mindset now and looking forward to the thought of this. Does anybody have any templates for giants? I fancied playing a Frost Giant, probably just a fighter of one sort of another I think, but I don't have the relevant info. If it...

    Only you can make the choice, but I would say probably a toss up between the Courtesan and the Fortune Teller. Both have the potential for great RP situations - probably the courtesan having the more amusing opportunities - but then again with something like a Fortune Teller, you give yourself...

    Welcome to the game, Sugar_silk. :) I'm brand new here myself so I won't presume to speak for the group or anything, but my advice would be to read through the previous in-game story (or as much as you can, there is a lot!) and gauge what you want to play based on the way the story is going...

    Glad you liked it, HM. I had a blast writing it! Originally it'd only meant to be a small piece, just the scene with Elms stalking someone, but the whole thing escalated out of control, hahah! The real-world language I used to represent the foreign tongue is Finnish, you can roll it through...

    Sorry, me being needlessly complicated. I meant I have a high search skill... although I had thought about discussing trapfinding with you at a later date. Far from a priority though, it largely depends on how the character develops. In other news, I finally posted my background, it's in the...

    I can search for traps now... I err... Just can't do much about them when I do find them :blush:

    Damn it, I knew I forgot something! I still need to submit my background, HM! I wrote probably 60-70% of it already but got sidelined by family stuff. I shall lock the wife in the cupboard and get it to you in the next 24 hours :)

    Battle at Harkon Manor

    Elms - Round 13 Recovering his balance as quickly as possible, Elms takes control of his temper and swings again at the Treylor soldier directly in front of him.Standard attack on closest soldier (flanking). (1d20+7=15, 1d6+2=8)Now fully aware of Elms' presence on the battlefield, the Elf had...

    It's funny, about ten minutes after I posted it in the IC I got to thinking "Hmm, I had an awful lot of bonuses to hit there.", but it was bed time and I resolved to sort it out in the morning (I.e. now). I see exactly what's happened, you mentioned that I was flanking, so that was +4 to hit...

    Battle at Harkon Manor

    Glancing across the collapsed barricade one last time, Elms' eyes pass over the look of desperation on the face of common folk as they desperately attempt to ward away blows from Treylor soldiers, the elves snarling as they push their line forward. In a sudden burst of anger and adrenaline, Elms...

    DnD 3.5 no-magic setting, lvl 1

    Having thought about it, Myth, I think I'll play a Viking mariner of some sort. Maybe a raider/pirate. I'm going to have a scoop through the books I've got at home and see if anything seems appropriate... If not then I'll make a proposal of my own in the next day or two :)

    DnD 3.5 no-magic setting, lvl 1

    I think I'll opt for the 'Crusades'. Both that and the ancient world were tempting, but I know a little more about this period. Hmm, Viking Raider, quite like the idea of a master of the sea type guy (my words, don't go looking for a prestige class, hahah)... Such a lot to choose from. I think...

    DnD 3.5 no-magic setting, lvl 1

    This sounds fascinating, ML. I'd like to take part, definitely. As for setting and character - let me get back to you on that. I think I would prefer option 1 or 2 over option 3, just because I've never done any historical RP before... as for what I'd play. Not sure yet. I'm going to hit the...

    HM: I will take my character discussion to a PM between you and I, just so I don't clog up this thread any more than necessary.

    Ahh, I don't have Libris Mortis, although now you mention it, the book of the dead would of course be the logical place to look. Time for some net research.

    I think it is kind of slow around here...(postponed)

    I'll have to refresh my memory on level adjustment, I've never bothered with it before because I've had no interest in any of the races. I am rapidly warming to the idea of some sort of skeletal caster, though. As long as I had access to Alter Self and similar things. Any other templates spring...
