Adventures in Cormyr (Recruitment Closed)

[Legildur]

Wouldn't pidgeon holing as I happen to like warrior types. Sword and board would probably suit me fine if using PHBII is okay.

Monk could also be fun if Jemal comes up with something interesting!

Sorry Stonegod! Missed your name from the first glance through.....

I've got a 3rd level dwarf warrior that I was playing for a Forgotten Realms based PbP on these boards that folded recently. I was enjoying him, so I might just level him up (making sure that point buy totals are correct) and put him into action. This will also be quicker to implement.

Edit: Okay to use the dwarven Fighter substitution level (1st) from Races of Stone? Grants Weapon Focus with all axes, d12 for first HD, and Survival (underground) as a class skill.

Edit2: What's the maximum amount to spend on a single item?

Edit3: Is PHBII okay for some feats? I was thinking Shield Specialisation and Shield Ward in particular.

Hi Folks
Strahd bows as he enters the room to all the players he knows
May I join as a spellcaster?

I will sweep a Sorcerer towards the Effigy master Prestige class (Complete Arcane ).
What say you LR ?

 

[Rhun]

You're getting a lot of interest, LR! That's a good sign.


Where are you planning on picking the adventure up at? Are we still going to be in the "chamber of many portals" (for lack of a better term)?

 

[Thanee]

"Stargate Node Chamber" ?

Bye
Thanee

 

[Rhun]

"Stargate Node Chamber" ?

That works for me.

I'll throw my hat into the ring -- I'll draw up a dim-witted warrior to cast "chop" and "hack".

1. Yes, that's fine.
2. You can spend your gold anyway you want.
3. Any WotC rulebook is fine by me, as long as you include a reference and explanation of the ability.

You're more than welcome to submit this character, I'll then choose 2 players from amongst all the submission's.

You're getting a lot of interest, LR! That's a good sign.

I was thinking of starting back at the 'Stargate Node Chamber' with the group deciding to go back and report on their progress, at this point Jack, Chik and Glandred will be called away and the new heroes will be introduced to help the group find a permanent solution to closing down the portal network.

Anyway I'll have a read over our previous posts to see if I can come up with any other ways of introducing the newbies.

I'll have Dowkan (shield dwarf) up in about 3-4 hours (work keeps getting in the way!).

 

[Legildur]

Lord Raven, please review Dowkan in the sblock below. His background (and formatting) probably needs some tweaking to marry him up with the others if selected, but my knowledge of FR is very limited. He's a pretty straightforward dwarf fighter - what you see is what you get.

Appearance: Nothing really stands out to distinguish Dowkan from many other dwarves. The deep tanned skin framed by his dark brown hair and beard and brown eyes are typical of many of his race. His equipment marks him as a warrior, particularly the finely crafted waraxe that rests across his back. The plain grey tunic is covered by the spiked full plate armor and matching breeches ending in a pair of sturdy well-crafted boots. He walks with a slight limp, favoring the right leg for those observant enough to notice such detail.

Background: Dowkan spent much of his adolescence exploring his homeland and some of the deeper cave systems. Though, being slightly short of temper and not overly popular at the best of times, much of this was undertaken when he accompanied clan patrols. As his ability and confidence grew, he gradually accompanied some of the longer range reconaissance patrols of his homeland. He took a particular liking to the waraxe during this time, admiring its style and the damage it could deal out in close-quarters when wielded in trained hands.

One unfortunate event turned his life upside down. Dowkan convinced a small group of friends, including a cousin, to join him exploring a distant cave system. To reach it required some overland travel. A day out from the Clan, the group was ambushed by some Hobgoblin slavers. Outnumbered and with no prospect of survival, Dowkan fought fiendishly, but fell helping defend his friends. After two days, he woke to find most of the others gone, and another dead dwarf.

On return to the Clan, he was held to blame for leading the others astray. The recriminations from even his own family and his own guilt grew too strong and he chose to leave his home rather than live as an outsider amongst his own people. In his own mind he had some ridiculous notion of freeing those friends who may have been captured and exacting a bloody revenge on the raiders. But without any real knowledge of what he was seeking, Dowkan left some days later without a word.

In all, his travels took him nearly 50 miles from the Spine of the World. His encounters along the way were generally neither overly exciting nor dangerous. However, one encounter with two bandits near the Hill of Vengor did allow him to vent some frustration at his plight and resulted in a gashed calf on his right leg that has left him with a slight limp, but in much better shape than the bandits.

Dowkan reached Silverymoon, and has spent some time as an axe-for-hire in the service of the Temple of Tyr. Dowkan took leave of service from Tyr when in Evenstar. After drinking most of his liquid wealth, he has once again taken up paid service, though this time to work for the Cormyrian Crown.
