I know, I participated to its creation!

Heh Well then sorry! It was a while ago at this point and I have a horrible memory. Unfortunately, going forward, the rest of the players will find this out lol.

I would stay wwaayyyyyy away from playing a Paladin with this group. I think the natural Chaotic nature of Pirates (and this group) will end up not being fun for anyone, you most of all.

I was leaning toward Kid. That one seems cleaner to me. My vision for Kid is clearer. It would also be easy to draft and easy to play.

Re: Gideon the Golden Boy, I was thinking Oath of Vengeance by 3rd level, with Gideon sworn to bring down the British Crown once some nefarious plot of the Crown against him comes to light. A dark knight, fallen paladin, bad boy. What I most definitely was not thinking was that Gideon would fit the archetype "LG worshipper of Light and Goodness." He has a gambling problem. A pretty serious one. I'm sure it'll get the better of him, and soon.

[MENTION=20323]Quickleaf[/MENTION], how viable is a Paladin in this game? Do you have any game mechanics hidden up your sleeve that might tend to make a Paladin workable? Any thoughts on alignment? No evil, I read in the first post of this thread (insert sad face here).

But again, just my opinion. You are a fantastic RPer and I am sure can make anything work.

Thanks. Love you, lady. Hugs.

Love you too!

Welp, when you put the pally that way... Even if he's lawful you didn't say to what so of course there is always the Pirates Code

As for the kid, Katerina is also a thief so she could possibly teach the Kid a thing or two. She's feeling rather motherly right now, in a Piratey way, of course.

Play whatever pleases you. I think we have a good, well rounded crew. And don't let Kobald give any of you guys the "Barrington's not on the crew yet" thing. Maybe not but I am certain he will be soon.

I was indicating that the posts of quartermaster and gunner are vacant, and a solid build in either of those positions might serve the function better than Barrington does. I am sorry that wasn't clear.

Still hoping to see a brawl for the captaincy. His Lordship sounds like another good contender.

Etienne the voyageur could probably turn his years trading beaver pelts toward keeping an eye on the ship's finances and powder supplies. A touch (a light touch) of naval discipline probably wouldn't hurt either.

In the absence of our good Dutch cook, perhaps Lorelei, and by extension Caillou, could turn their hands toward the galley? Got to make useful aboard ship somehow. Can't just lurk around the crow's nest looking like bad luck.

I almost made a midget cook. I was going to use Dwarf as the race and Bard as the class. And then I realized that Maldavos had already done exactly that, although with different packaging.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

OK, chips on the table. [MENTION=20323]Quickleaf[/MENTION], can I play a CN or a NE paladin?

Gideon the Golden Boy is a degenerate. He wouldn't steal from a party member, nor would he kill a party member, but he might stab someone in a fight. I honestly think he'd fit right in with this crew as a CN or NE paladin. I have no intention of having him worship a diety. Right now he's a supporter of the British Crown, but sometime soon I expect they'll cut him off entirely when his gambling once again becomes an issue. When that happens, the Crown may start actively plotting against Gideon, which will ignite righteous piratey fury in him. And then he'll be all about burning and pillaging as many British ships as he possibly can. Laissez faire piracy, at its finest.

 

[Queenie]

As explained, she TOTALLY fits in with this rabble

Just giving your character ideas a look over now, and I'll reply with comments for each of you in a bit. But first I wanted to share our Skull & Crossbones Group page with you: http://www.enworld.org/forum/group.php?groupid=430

There are lots of cool things there, including a Pirate class, a Swashbuckler archetype (for multiple classes), and a Ship Mage archetype (for multiple classes). I suggest bookmarking or otherwise saving that link for ease of reference later on.

But both of you are in the game, and happy to have you The party will soon be back up to 7! Typically there's a bit of work to do on the characters, polishing rough edges, fixing mistakes, getting them more into the story & other PCs, that sort of thing, before I give the "thumbs up" to begin posting in the RP thread.
