Cold truths (Part 1: The Missing Duke) OOC

[Steve Gorak]

log-a-log, I've already made a halfling rogue (see the RG thread), but it's the DM's call as to whether or not he wants two of the same class and race. If you're dead set on playing one, I'd suggest you take a look at mine and maybe give yours different skills and abilities. For example, mine's geared more toward espionage and information gathering than combat; maybe yours could be more along the lines of an assassin or a "dungeoneering" thief. Just a suggestion. Like I said, the DM's got the final call.

I'm interested in playing a gnome wizard. Is there still space?
Also, do you use the spell point system ot the standard casting system?

Cheers,

SG

Krug - where did Woden come from? Is he a refugee from the woods or a wanderer from the southlands? Little more info please.

Mimic - A smooth operator if I ever saw one. I would think slick, almost to the point of being "greasy" except you said " [he's] handsome and [he] knows it and uses it to his best ablity whether to charm women into bed or getting the best deal he can". To me, this reeks of "manipulator". I like the idea, a little more definiton would be nice. maybe a more definite short term goal.

Taitzu - I like Uri and I definitly think he would be useful short-term. I'm a bit worried about long-term, though. What, if any, were your ideas for his development? If he's lived in the north, furs and game will have been scarce to non-existant for the last year at least.


All - I've added a link to the website for Heroforge 3.0 and a MSWord character sheet. BTW, I did NOT mean to imply that players NEEDED to use Heroforge. If you got that impression, I apologise. It was intended as more of " hey, this is a cool utility that you might like". Same with the character sheet that I just posted a link to, you don't HAVE to use it.

Well everyone needs a good excuse to become an adventurer, right? I don't like to take my backgrounds up to the minute, if you know what I mean. We can work on it as we go, I hope.

"Slick" and "manipulator" would definately be words to describe this guy... funny considering that when I started making him I was going for an innocent country yokel approach... Actually my final verison was way worse, he would have sold his mother if it got him what he wanted but that would have pushed him in into an evil alignment and most GMs don't allow it, to much "My character is evil so I can do what I want regardless of the plot..." from players I would guess.

I can give a better discription of him, so look for that shortly and for the short tem goal I would assume that just plain survival would be at the top of the list. From what I understand is happening food shortages are everywhere, people starving and dying in the street... something that he wouldn't want to happen to him so when the prince started asking for adventures he would be at the head of the line. (Money and potential polictical connections)

Haven't seen the point system but am interested. where would I find info?

Uri is a survivor. The harsh life in the north that drove all the animals away forced him to follow south. Due to the famine, his skills are still in demand, although he feels more like a glorifired rat catcher some days. This has led him to try to use his skills for more martial applications. He hears that soldiers are fed well, so an answer to the prince's call would be in order. Besides, he knows the north fairly well. Perhaps this will get him some notice in the princes halls, and maybe, a better way of life.

(add this to my background if you like, and his god would be Suka. Any more detail you need, feel free to ask)

Ok I beefed up his discription and bio, let me know what you think:


Description: Handsome, witty, cheerfull, calm, devious, sarcastic, lecherous, sneaky... are a few of the discriptions that people would use to discribe Aleran, of course it all depends on who you ask and what they have that Aleran might want. He is quite attractive and he knows it and uses it to his best advantage whether to charm women into bed or getting the best deal he can, it doesn't really matter to him, as long as you have something that he wants or you might get something that he could want in the future, he will be your best friend. Double cross him and he will always remember it...His eyes are 2 different colors, his left is green and his right is grey

Bio: Raised on a farm in the frontier lands, Aleran was never directly effected by the war but was effected by the shortening summer days. As the food shortage grew, his parents spotting his gifts and trained him to hone them and taught him to better himself, to become something more then a simple farmer... It was a lesson he took to heart, perhaps a little to much, Aleran is always on the look out for the angle, something that will make his life eaiser or better. When he heard about the prince wanting adventures, he figured this would be a good way to make some money and to gain some possible political connections..

Made some edits. How much starting gold do we have again?

 

[mps42]

Go ahead with max gold.

Well, I'm interested in this. Let me poke around your site and look at the other characters, but you can certainly count me as registering provisional interest. At this early stage I'm thinking that I would like to play a cleric, or maybe a bard, but that could change.
