Age of Mortals - The Knights of Solamnia

[Brother Shatterstone]

Anyone with a female character willing to be the object of my puppyish affection?

I'll humor you if no one else wants too...

Of course rather or not she humors you is a different story...

 

[Shalimar]

So long as you don't mind it being un-requited I'm game,

When exactly is this set in the Dragonlance Timeline? I know after the War of Souls, but how far after? The reason I ask, is because up until the very very end of the War of Souls, there was No Divine Magic, and No Wizardry, there simply were no gods to grant the Divine Magic, and without the Prescence of the God Moons of Magic, no power for Arcane Magic to draw on. At the very end of the War of Souls trilogy, the gods were returned to Krynn, so if we are going right after the war of souls, there would really be only very old Clerics and Wizards who were still alive from before the Summer of Chaos, and then relatively new beginers to either art. The Sorcerers and Mystics have been able to use their powers for the last 30+ years so younger ones would be further along.

So, um, when are we set?

I'm also playing a female character Paxus, so it looks like you will have your choice. ;D

The "current" time frame is listed in the timeline. (Pg 210 I think) (This is the time that CS told me we where playing in.)

Maybe I should change the gender of my character...

there are a lot of female characters running around... maybe the other's can change and we'll have the WACS branch of the Solamnic knights.

hrm, I'm not sure my character is going to work without the paladin. (probably wouldn't have brought it up had I known they were unallowed). The knight class will take a while to get into, and I don't know that there could be allowances for taking the class without being in the organization yet (seems unlikely) so the idea of being a "called by the gods, not by society" paladin wouldn't come over as well... can someone give me a brief rundown on the noble class?

Ok, so we are set within one year of the end of the War of Souls. Its been less then a year since Arcane Wizardy and the Gods return. Okie doke, that pins it down, just trying to figure out how to work my background in with the recent events on Krynn. Thanks for the Info, that puts all of us as being squires if not flat out Knights before the War of Souls, and before the return of the gods and magic.

Shale was 13 when Sorcery was formally discovered[411 AC], She was taken in by the Dark knights a few months later, defeated and captured by Galen Silvershield at 16 [414 AC]. She was a prisoner of Silvershield until she was accepted as his squire at[416 AC]. She was raised toknight of the crown after 3 years as a squire in [419 AC] at the age of 22.

Sure, but you'll have to tell me what WACS stands for.

Honestly, the noble gets decent skills, a good reflex and will saves, and a number of abilities that make it easier to help and lead others.

If you need a more expanding version then I'll need to wait till I get home from work to give it.

Since we are going Gestalt, you could go Fighter-Mystic until after 4th at which point you coud change it up, it gives the whole called by goodness thing, and it fits the setting. Mystics are to Clerics what sorcerors are to wizards, less spells known, but more spells a day, they also gain their power through their faith in goodness (or whatever) instead of through the Gods, which would be a problem for a Paladin since the God of Lawful Goodness, Paladine, was killed with the Goddess of Evil at the end of the War of Souls when the gods returned to Krynn.

I think I'll go with a fighter 4/noble 4, fighter 2/knight 2, and male since you seem to need one.
I think of him as a very serious guy, even more rigid than the other knights.
But it's still an idea. I hope I'll have something more tomorrow.
