For the Greater Good - Full

[Halivar]

Hrmm... we seem to have a lot of anti-hero's in this campaign (*raises hand*). Is anybody playing the LG shiney-plated goody-goody? Right now we look like a group of outcast misfits saving the world with bad attitudes.

Ray, if no one else steps up to the plate (iconic LG paladin), would it be helpful if I made some character changes to fill this niche? I really like my dark, brooding character concept, but if that's what everyone is playing, he won't stand out much. Just let me know if you need an iconic.

Well, Absolute Zero hasn't posted his background yet, and I'm assuming (perhaps wrongly, but I'm still assuming) that the half-celestial will be a strongly good character. I haven't heard from Heavy_D in a while (I hope he's still around), but reapersaurus said he wanted to play a really good paladin-type. Jaik was the only other one who really wanted to play a redeemed evil-doer.

 

[Jaik]

Technically, I don't think my character is an anti-hero. It's just that he hasn't always been a hero. Of course, he still won't be your typical steel-plated headstrong paladin, but he's still a good guy...Oh, and he's mostly up in the rogue's gallery thread.

Okiday - Jaik, for the Vow feats from BoHM, you need Devout Faith for your prereq feat. Swear an Oath is only for the Oath feats, so you'll have to change that.

Items for your character:

Combine your sword of subtlety with the picker picker sword from Arms and Armor (total enhancement bonus, +2) - 30,302gp.

Winged Mask (Magic of Faerun) - 13,000gp. Given to you by a follower of Ehlonna after you were able to save her flocks of birds from cruel hunters, the wings on this mask appear to be the ones of a snowy owl.

Potion of Truth - 500gp. Marked by the symbol of Siamorphe, you found this potion in the lair of a troll. It is a dark blue potion in a tough glass vial.

4 Potions of cure light wounds - 200gp. These potions were given to you by an old priest of Pelor, who said that young rapscallions like you always need a bit of help every now and then.

Cool cool cool. I get to be the "paladin in black." Goody-goody-gum-drops. BTW, if anyone want to tie into Sebastian's background, drop me an e-mail.

BTW, Ray, I've already listed Sebastian's "oath." It would make more meta-game sense to hold off on swearing the oath until I know what our quest is going to be, but that didn't square with my character concept. He would have sworn an oath long ago to dispatch his "brothers." If that's going to be a problem, let me know.

I also posted my paladin's code of conduct below his inventory. It's got a decidedly chaotic tilt. Take a look at it so you can hold me to it...

I heard ya.
I'll work up a Paladin-type. A LG Paladin-type, since I agree with Halivar.
BTW: I love your background, Halivar (if you're the one who has the dark paladin, full of vengeance).
I was going to play a character similar, but I'll play Kerith Lockshiel, a fairly standard PAladin, but not from any order, or completely Code-bound.
He's a Paladin because he's always been different - the "personal paladin". He hasn't been trained as one - he lives it.

I've gotta see what goodies I'd like to play with from the books I have.
I'll run any ideas I have past you for approval and your interest level, Ray.

reapersaurus, does that mean you're going to play a NG or CG paladin? The NG paladin from BoHM has got some nice stuff, even though you give up the mount and the aura of courage. I look forward to seeing your character.

 

[reapersaurus]

I'm planning on a LG Paladin, but I'll be looking closer at the BoHM stuff.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Actually I've been in contact with Heavy_D and he told me he's not going to be able to play this quest (computer problems). So you can let an alternate in to take his place. Just put Heavy_D down as an alternate for now.

Ok, thanks for letting me know Absolute Zero. And since you've already put the items I rolled up for you on your character sheet, can I safely say you liked them?

KaintheSeeker, you're officially in the game now! And since you already jumped the gun by posting the beginnings of a character, you're ahead of the the game. Finish up as soon as you may, and get me your wish list as soon as you have your own equipment list up. The sooner I know what you already have, the sooner I can roll the dice for you.

Jaik and reapersaurus - What's your ETA on finishing your characters? I think I'd like to start this weekend. Will that be doable? reapersaurus, do you at least have your own equipment list and a wish list so I can finish up things from my end? Jaik - Did your items meet with your approval?

Note - Everyone remember to put Orshallan somewhere in your character's background. Thanks.
