Ambiguously Gendered Child of "What is the Hivemind?"

Most characters simply don't have enough gold to afford that at creation. I'm thinking that I'll have enough gold to spare a few hundred to retcon it in during approval for level 2 or 3 though

Well, Fighters start off with 240 gp or so. I could make two Fighters, leave 240 gp in the Inn with one, and have the other pick it up. Now I have 480 gp. If I did it with three characters, that's 720 gp. Enough for the item? Probably so.

Yeah, games start up at odd intervals. The tavern is often interesting, though.

It's amusing, though, that you're a caster-type. The game I was previously in had a Fighter, a Ranger, a Rogue, and four casters. Yikes.

That's not too many casters. Unless you mean they were all psions/wizards? Even then, you can't have too many (although 0 clerics is too few )

That's cheating! You can't trade items between characters.

That's only the spirit of the rule that your character's can't be in the same place. It's also not trading, technically. You could see it as a gift or a theft or somesuch.

I don't think any were divine casters, but I don't remember for sure. I believe they were all Wizards, some specialists. Even if it's not too many, it's really heavy on the arcane casting. And really light on the melee fighters.

Bah, if two of the casters were a cleric and druid (for divine support) instead of wizards, it wouldn't have had any problems, I guess. Meanwhile, A'jardin's nervous nature causes Lasair to jump to all the wrong conclusions

 

[Jdvn1]

I like having a little more diversity in my parties. At least someone to help the Fighter so he doesn't take all the damage.

And A'jardin's an interesting character. He's not used to adventuring, he came straight out of a lab or something.

Kinda like inverse Ars Magica?

Sadly, never played Ars Magica. I hear it's interesting, but haven't had the opportunity.

Same here. Ah well - lots of others games interest me more anyway, fortunately.
