Looks good to me! Is Etrigan from any prime world in particular? It doesn't have to be an important detail if you don't want it to be, of course. Nice ideas! One question: where are you getting the base stats for a small chimpanzee? I've only found references for tiny monkeys, medium baboons...

Okay, Proxy Points are officially in! I'd also like to reiterate how pleased I am with the character creation I'm seeing. I was really worried I'd see a lot of over-the-top, CharOps builds from opening things up to any source at all, but you guys have taken this in the creative spirit in which...

I guess it depends on the story you hope to see come out of the game. Twelve Angry Men would've been a snooze-fest if Henry Fonda had punched the other 11 men until they voted not guilty.

"There's certainly a season for putting down rabid dogs, as well, although I'll leave the details of that in your capable claws," says Reynard. "Lord Morn, to what extent would you propose we strangers in your land pursue this issue? Would you task us with an investigation, or something more...

Looks great! Your Keys do exactly what I want them to do, which is to provide me with guidelines for the kind of stuff you want your character to do. I didn't add any sort of bennie point/FATE point/action point thing, because I didn't want to put too many house rules up there, but I usually...

Life is too short to play with people you don't like. Go find people you like, and introduce them to gaming!

Just as a datapoint in how a game can encourage roleplay with its mechanics, have a look at Wushu. You literally get better at doing something for describing it in greater detail, gaining a die for your dice pool for each detail: I punch him in the solar plexus using the ancient five-knuckle...

Forgot to mention this before: I love the character concept. I especially love when players tell me, "I want to see my character do this, this, and this" when making a character, because it's a sure way to get the kind of game you want. Thank you! Good deal. Innocuous or not, whatever animal...

Reynard Foucault, an unkempt man looking tired and worn beyond his years, speaks first. "The drow are a cruel and warlike people, to be sure," says Reynard,"but there must have been some direct cause for the attacks. They are too proud a race to choose such defenseless prey for sport. Have they...

Welcome! We've got a bunch of great ideas going on in the thread, but no 100% complete character sheets just yet. Pull up a chair, and let's do some plane-hopping. Hurm. That's a pretty big component of the character, and it can be kind of challenging to find an animal companion in the planes...

No worries, your character as described is far removed from the guy that made me start instituting that suggestion. Basically, he always wanted to play a character that was a cute, naive young girl by day and a vicious psychopath by night, with the two personalities entirely unaware of one...

Good news everyone! I just found something really nice in Complete Psionic, which surprised me, because I hadn't found a use for the book yet. :p There's a Githzerai racial variant on page 147 that lets you start out at 1st level in a base class, and optionally improve over the course of your...

My exposure is mainly from 3rd Edition, but here goes: Prestige classes that are well integrated with the setting. Corollary: lots of organizations PCs can join, which is a nice way to indicate to the GM what kinds of missions you want to be sent on. Multiple flavors for arcanists. Thayan Red...

Tough question. I'm looking at 3 different spots in the SRD here: I think this means you can't reach with a weapon that isn't designed for your size, so a 10ft. reach weapon designed for a medium character wouldn't extend your reach. Kind of weird, so maybe we'll make it 15 for a medium...

For starting gold, please roll. Level 5 of the Werewolf Lord's Dire Wolf class looks like a fairly dead level, so why don't we increase his reach to 10 ft at that level? At 4th, he'll get the awesome grapple mod and bonus to intimidate (among other things), then get reach at 5th. In exchange...

Be sure to steer clear of Robert Heinlein, then! :p

That sounds like it could be really cool! It definitely works for a Githzerai, what with spending their lives shaping reality around them constantly. Monk could definitely work for that character; I could see him as a Psion or Psychic Warrior pretty easily, too, if you're looking for...

I'm thinking he has all the goodies a 1st-level Warrior has, plus all the goodies from the first level of the Werewolf template class. That means he gets: +1 BAB, +2 Fort, 4x(2+INT) skill points; Climb, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Jump, Ride, and Swim as class skills; proficiency with all simple...

Love it! I've always been a big fan of the Arabic/Mediterranean feel in fantasy, and the thought you've put into his personal philosophy is just the sort of thing I want to read. :) Yup, that's a tough row to hoe, there. You might consider making a Key that plays to that flaw, just to sort of...

Thanks for the character sheet, Voda Vosa! I don't want to step on your toes if you've got a good idea going, but are you sure you want to play a character with a Charisma of 3? This game is likely to involve a lot of roleplay, and I don't want you to feel sidelined. You're definitely...
