[Voadam]

Voadam concepts

Many considered Voadam touched in the head. The man was said to have called himself "the Green Wizard of Althora" but performed no magics claiming "it works different here" and nobody had ever heard of Althora. He swore by gods nobody heard of and was concerned about the machinations of "demons" and the forces of Law and Chaos. Still he is friendly, inquisitive, and quick to learn. He's also tough, brave, and ready to step into dangerous situations. Being fluent in orcish he took up the mercenary mantle to explore the old dwarven stronghold in return for offers of gold.

A bearded brown-haired bear of a man with blue eyes dressed in black robes with a green sash.

Voadam was in fact a world hopping, demon-hunting wizard who fell afoul of demonic planar magics that banished him to this world as he quested to restore the Staff of Law. He was skilled in spells, bladework, and the lotus petal style of martial arts. On arriving here however he found that magic worked differently and much of his previous lore and powers were now inapplicable.

2 concepts

1 Ranger Wizard, he is rebuilding his magical abilities from the ground up again as he learns of this new world he finds himself in.

2 Ranger/Monk He finds that his old magic is not applicable at all and is focusing on his martial combat skills for the moment.

Note this is a character I have played before, including in a pbp game here that just ended (canadienne bacon's Rod of Seven Parts game).

Alligator Tooth Earring - 220gp - +1 hp - 0.1 lbs

Heh.

The last thing Voadam fought in the last pbp game was a large croc.

 

[Voadam]

What type of pace do you expect for the game? I generally post once per weekday for the games I play in.

 

[Delusion]

That should be fine, Voadam. I won't be a stickler about missing a day or two, as I'm sure I may wind up doing myself, but just try to post once a day and we'll be just fine.

 

[Arkhandus]

I'm still working on my character ideas, typing up background and updating their original 1st-level stats to 3rd-level. I'll either play a gnome enchanter, a human magician, or a human monk.

It's also possible I may play a high elf paladin or cleric instead, or some kind of rogue, but the first three are more likely choices. In general, it depends on what the rest of the group will play; with published modules, it's best to assume some of the basic roles will be really necessary (generally meat shield, healer, and trapmeister).

Something I forgot earlier, though. What's the method for determining HP? Max for 1st I'm guessing, but should other levels' HP be rolled in InvisibleCastle, or just assume half maximum, or average (rounded up on odd and rounded down on even), or max HP?

Regardless, I'll have my primary character ideas up sometime on Saturday (been busy the past few days else I'd have them finished up now).

 

[WarShrike]

Better get my character application in while theres still room.

Ahem...

[SBLOCK=Xoranis Onyxclaw -- Iksar Monk]

Xoranis Onyxclaw is rather odd for an Iksar. No less proud of his own abilities than any other, but uncharacteristicly respects, even admires the strengths of other races. He is obsessed with being the best at what he does, and sees the other races as sources of possible improvement.

Iksar as a rule think they're the best at everything, and as such, feel contempt towards those not of the scale. Xoranis isn't looking forward to attaining "Iksar Perfection". He feels his peoples skills have degenerated over time through their extreme isolation, and that becoming the best his mentor's trainning can make him will only waste his potential. So it is that he has decided to travel among other races, doing what he must to become accepted by them, in order to study them and hopefully improve his own abilities.

At first he met little success. He hunted bandits in the lands both south and west of the Human capital of Freeport, and although it seemed like a good idea at the time, it turned out that killing Human bandits did little to endear himself to the majority of the Human population. Bandits or not, he was killing Humans, and that of itself garnered him a rather nasty though undeserved reputation. From that point on, Xoranis understood that to earn the approval of the various "civilized" races in these alien lands, he would have to concentrate on fighting their common enemies, such as Gnolls, Goblins, and Orcs.

Now, having heard tales old and new of the great battles of the Elves of Faydewer against the Orcish hordes, he sets sail from Freeport to meet these Elves, and hopefully learn their ways.

Although having a solid grasp of common, his unfamiliarity with the ways and customs of other races causes him to express himself akwardly. His coloring is a dark gray with splotches of black, affording him decent camouflage in his natural rocky homeland. His eyes are black pools with no visible difference between pupil, iris, or sclera, causing his eyes to be "unreadable".

Hm, hadn't thought of that of that til you mentioned it, Ark. Use the table on page 198 of the (original non EQ) DMG for fixed hit points.
