[Contemplating] Dragonlance Classics

[GruTheWanderer]

my fave character is Kitiara ;p hehe....

Perhaps you'd like to be a guest star when we get to her part in the story?

Taking so many skills cross classed for a fighter is a good way to not be good at any of them unless you are really upping the skill point levels.

I agree that we either need to swap the ranger feats/spells or swap the fighter skills.

Modified Ranger: Favored Enemy; 4 skill points; Track and two other feats at 1st level; Feats at 4, 8, 11, 14 (replacing spell levels)
Fighter: Heavy Armor; 2 skill points; One feat at 1st level; Feats at every even level

The ranger ends up with seven feats and 92 skill points. The fighter ends up with eleven feats and 46 skill points. Two of the feats should be limited to when the ranger is in light armor.

At 5th level the ranger would have four feats and 28 skill points. The fighter would have three feats and 14 skill points. Yeah, I'm still not convinced the ranger is necessary.

Here's another option. The fighters in the party could each choose to use either fighter, barbarian, paladin, or ranger skill sets. They would get the same number of skill points (4). Thus Sturm could have more courtly skills, while Tanis and Riverwind have more wilderness skills. Flint and Caramon might be fine with the standard fighter choices (although, as I recall, Flint didn't like riding or swimming, so he must have put a lot into Craft).

Hey works for me!

Give me the ruthlessly wonderful Kitiara and her creepy but interesting relationship with the very cool Lord Soth and I'll be a happy guest star camper!

Allright, i know a lot of people think I'm in too many games (They've said so in one of CS's discussion thread on this board), but I really truley love kenders, Gaming, and PBP.

SO, unless
A) Mr DM doesn't want me
or
B) Someone else REALLY REALLY wants to play Tas

then I'ld love to be him.

I have experience both IRL and PBP with gaming, and spent several years either playing as or playing with a kender (One of my best friends played a kender for the entirety of my Beta game IRL, and they ended up going to Kendermore on several occasions).

So, should I be in or not? Your call.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Here's the interest I've seen so far:

Jemal - Tas
Kitana - Kitiara
Keia - Tanis?
rangerjohn - Riverwind
garyh - later character
Douane
Jarval - Raistlin
Jalon - Goldmoon, Gilthanis
ErichDragon - Sturm
Shalimar

No specific interest in Caramon or Flint so far, but several players available.

There's no time like the present to start getting to know people, so please introduce yourself and your PbP experience. I know Keia, Jemal, and garyh (from games) and Kitana (from discussions), but I haven't had the pleasure of working with the rest of you. Please note, this is still not a recruitment thread or an audition. I'm just curious to see what kind of people are interested in the game.

Jemal, Mr. DM doesn't sound like a very flattering title. Gru or Derek will do fine.

 

[Shalimar]

I would be interested in Tanis or Sturm if I played(I don't particularly like tanks like Caramon, and I love the history of the other two, its soo tragic), but as you said, this isn't a recruitment thread.

 

[Keia]

If we are asking about interest, I would like Tanis or either of the twins (Raistlin more than Caramon). Having read the pre-stories of the twins as well as the later books has really intrigued me with Raistlin.

Tanis, the torn one trying to live in two different worlds but not accepted in either.

I guess the list in order of preference would be Raistlin, Tanis, Caramon.

I like the idea of choosing skill sets for the fighter-types, almost like the backgrounds in D20 Modern. (I may incorporate that I my RL games).

[ErichDragon]

My Name is ErichDragon, and I'm an RPaholoic.

Chorus: <Hi ErichDragon!>

I haven't played in any PbP games as yet. I just got turned on to the idea since my regular gaming group has all but fizzled out. I am involved in Timothy's A Game of Politics Recruitment thread though.

I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons in one form or another for about 20 years. (God I am getting old!) My other Roleplaying experience includes Marvel Super Heroes, Mechwarrior, Shadowrun, GURPS, Gamma World, Vampire:Masquerade, Rifts, Champions and other Heroes games, and a whole lot of other smaller games that would take a whole post to list.

The Dragonlance Chronicles were the first fantasy books I ever read all those years ago. I love the setting and the characters. Many of the early campaigns I ran were set in Krynn, so I would be more than willing to help with conversions or Dragonlance specific rules.

I can post at least twice a day during the week. Weekends could be once to 100 times depending on my social calendar. Like I mentioned earlier I would love to play Sturm.

"Welcome to the club Eric, I'm Jemal, running for chairman. If he's around, you'll meet GaryH.. The current chairman.. soon enough. Over here's Kitana, one of our resident weird-little-ladies. And that's Shalimar, the other one. Um, What I mean is.. uh.." He stops and looks around, deciding to let everyone introduce themself while he goes to the corner and tries to work his foot out of his mouth.

 

[Shalimar]

I am soo not weird. I am just ecentric.
