Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sound of Azure" data-source="post: 3030741" data-attributes="member: 40749">"Darth Zelkyr"Hey, all this talk of Star Wars makes me want to play Knights of the old republic!First session went well tonight. Everyone had lots of fun playing in character, especially at the little star wars references here and there.This week was the second week of play, with two other characters being introduced that week. This session opened with my character arriving at Waterdeep, observing an altercation between a rather confused young Mulhorandi teen (PC of the other new player) and the city guards.My PC ended up taking this kid under my wing, making him address my PC as "Father Zelkyri" and generally turning him into my "apprentice". It was pretty funny, and became something of a running joke. The "kid" already owes my PC several favours in getting him out of trouble with others, as well as several monetary favours I helped him with. He seems happy to act very erratically and violently whenever possible, so...maybe not that much of a challenge. I've also started the temptation of a barmaid to the "dark side", giving into anger at her family for selling her to the Inn she works at.There's also a Selunite cleric at the Temple of Stars that's taken an interest in my PC. I'll see where that leads over time.  I also "guided" the whole party into doing what I wanted by subtly guiding our tactical discussions in the direction I wanted. Managed to take 3/4 of our reward without anyone else noticing, just by taking the job of writing down the treasure. One person picked an item, then I briskly moved on.  No one said anything  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> A few other surprises rule-wise: taking damage while on holy ground unless I had protective spells up (like protection from good). Rapid alignment change: Several of the other PCs changed alignment (sometimes twice!) during the game today. Certain spells being "out of character", such as casting guidance on the rogue, being too helpful. Also, my clerical wand of cure light wounds failed to work on the "kid". I'm not sure why, yet (DM didn't say, but said it might be revealed later if I look in the right way).Apart from when I actually mentioned I was going in disguise somewhere with disguise self operating, the "sith ugliness" thing didn't come up.All in all, I had a great time... just the rules are taking a bit to get used to. It's slightly out of my usual expectations. On the other hand, everyone got quite into their characters, and I'm kinda enjoying hamming it up as a "faux-sith". Got some bonus XP for RPing in character the way I was, so I guess I'm doing something right!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Thanks all for the suggestions and interesting ideas!Edit: Kae'yoss: Those stories sound really interesting. Could you list the novels/articles they come from so I may be able to track them down (Except Erevis Cale, my library has the trilogy with him in it)?</blockquote>
