Hi all! You've been busy discussing!
Tglassy, generate the stats using the roll 4d6 drop the lowest. I'm sure if anyone used a different method that it's fine as well. I'm fairly trusting. PBP really comes together through the shared narrative. I see the game rules as being there to enhance the fun and not get in the way.
In that vein, Tglassy, I've got no problem with you switching a spell during a long rest. I agree with the thinking here. Also, I have no problem you keying your "warlockness" to INT rather than CHA.
Jmucchiello, I looked at those home-brews on dndwiki and, if you want to use one, I think the first is better than the second one.
I think it'd be quite fun if you were a tiny, flying fae. Reminds me of playing tunnels and trolls in the early nineties. You could strap together some coins for armor.
Charlotte, I don't think there's anything as too many charisma heavy characters. You're all beautiful and know how to mind your manners? How dare you!
You're definitely thinking what I was originally thinking when you mention just reflavoring one of the "vanilla" races. But! As long as you can point at the rules somewhere, I really don't mind using outside-the-box concepts or rules.
Charlotte, I personally hope you stick with the Ozma-type character. I love the potential there.
I think that that "changeling" from Ebberron is super neat, but I agree that it's not necessary (and might even steer us in the wrong direction).
Any elves, especially eladrin (I think Moorcock even uses the term in his books), would work perfectly fine.
Tglassy, I think we all appreciate the brain storming. Ultimately, it'll be Charlotte's call. I love the enthusiasm!
You guys all rock! I think we're still waiting to hear from Imaro, but feel free to start in on your own personal "chapter ones" in the in character thread after you post your characters.
Oh! Lastly! Thoughts on starting level two? Without giving too much away, I fully intend for everyone to level up as you complete that personal "chapter one" and find yourselves finally together in a group. Does that make sense?
Cheers.
