load: light (30,2/33)[/sblock]

some quesions:

first: do we have to follow a god ? or can our characters be somehow atheistic (still believing in the gods but not follwing them actively, like in greyhawk)?

second: what kind of climate are we in ? is it hot, cold, temperate ? (because extreme temp. would require a change in equipment...i went for temperate)

third: is there a magic/psionic transparency? (magic = psionics for dispel and so on)

fourth: are we very young characters or do we have some story together already ?
(i guess we are still green ? *g*)

thx, steel

 

[Lord Wyrm]

Ero Gaki: Should be interesting. This adventure is more fun when someone casts certain divinations.

Steelshark: The write up looks good, I like the equipment section especially. In answer to your questions:
-You don't have to have a direct patron but many do, the divide between patrons often sparks wars.
-The climate is temperate to cold, if you have seen The 13th Warrior you have a good idea of the climate and terrain.
-Magic-Psionic transparency applies in almost all cases.
-If a few of the players want to develop joint backstory I'm fine with that, the characters are still green for the most part though.

 

[steelshark]

I forgot...i DO have more questions

is it ok if i post only looks and obvius behavior here, and send the background story only to lord wyrm ?

its not that it is really a secret, but i guess this adds to roleplay...does'nt it ?

oh...and can we make up town names, family and so on ?? (i hope so ... since there seems to be plenty open space)

 

[Einan]

Lord Wyrm:

Got the skill ranks settled. Math hard.

Looking forward to playing.

I think Lorrikh would probably mesh well with someone smarter and more charismatic than he is. (which isn't really had to be.). If somebody is interested, maybe we could have grown up together around New Gerot, getting into trouble and what not as we grew up?

 

[steelshark]

Diego grew up in Gerot... although he could have used a "stong" helping hand
(I could alter my background a bit, so that i grew up in new gerot)

But he also attended high class schools...so i guess no half orcs there huh ?

maybe a simple friendship outside of the normal social class system... I'd really like that

 

[Ion]

Well, it is quite likley I'd have been teased and made fun of, because I was "different". Maybe when we were young, you steped in and told some of the other boys off (if that's your style).

My background doesn't really say where I grew up, so it's probably easier that I grew up in Gerot with you.

 

[steelshark]

It IS my style.....maybe it was one of the occasions that my sleeping psionics came to life..
with fire and ice from my hands ... I'm sure Diego was a bit of an outsider too... thanks to his "weirdness" with the psionics

Now that i think of it....aren't half orcs a bit more short-lived than humans ?...

that would mean i was bigger those days... so it would really fit well

 

[Ion]

We outsiders have to band together. Isn't it lucky we both got asked to join the Tracker's guild?

 

[steelshark]

i guess it was more like they needed some brain to control you and your tracking abilities...but hey...good enough for me

besides: do you know of any good sites for character portraits...i'd even take the BG2 and NWN ones...thx
