From Citadel to Bastion [OOC Thread]

[Ashrem Bayle]

Some ugly critters.

I was looking the characters over when I noticed something...

We bout some ugly bastages.

The highest Charisma in the group is 12. The others are 10 and less.

My own is a 6.

I've got an excuse though. Being raised by Mind Flayers will do that to you.

 

[garyh]

Heh. I didn't expect Quendros to be the "face" - guess it's a good thing I put those 2 ranks in Diplomacy!

 

[Vargo]

Cha of 6?!?

Wasn't aware that a human could sink that low via point buy.

Also noticed that our Evoker is lacking in Divination magic - this could be a long-term issue for us. I have another character made for another game which I could swap out my druid for - a Grey elven Illusionist with the precluded field of Enchantment. Wouldn't do anything for our CHA problem, though.

Hmm, maybe a bard...

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

I've got divination covered with my psion. Clairsentience is a secondary discipline.

Hmmm.... you're right about the Cha 6 thing. I reverted to our own house rules. Still, if Gru doesn't mind, I will leave it. It does work with his story after all.

The problem I ran across was: Str 10 vs. Cha 8

How could somebody work in a mine most of their life and have a strength of only 10? So I dropped my Cha a bit and added to Strength. Ended up with Str 12 and Cha 6. I figured that fit closer to his story.

But like I said, if Gru doesn't like it, I will change it back to Str: 10 and Cha 8.

No prob.

Sorry, this was a type of wizard I always wanted to play, but never was able to. Divination, Illusion, and Necromancy seemed opposed to what I was going for, so I chose them as my banned schools. Besides shouldn't the cleric and druid have some sort of divining as well, and if not Ashrem's psion will do the trick nicely.

 

[Vargo]

'Tis fine - I'm more worried about the lack of Identify mainly - scrying et al being right up my alley. (Scry-Teleport-Whack-Teleport... Gotta get me a rod of planar stabilization - creates an anti-teleportation/scry field 200' radius unless willingly surpressed by the user)

Also need to update languages known in my character. Oops.

 

[StalkingBlue]

I may consider starting a different one. I'm thinking of running all of Rappan Athuk. I may even include the Four Colors to Fantasy since I'm curious to see if that would work out acceptably.

However I will explicitly name name my rules up front (without the expectation that context will explain abbreviations since that doesn't work evidently).

Have fun.

buzzard

And you, too!

Updated:

Airbertach's skills, languages, and background.

Picked my color: Green.

Figure that should work for the Druid...

 

[StalkingBlue]

Ah yes. The colour issue. Moon shall have ... firebrick.
Rookie question: how can I edit an entire post to be in another colour without entering everything in the "Enter text to be formatted with specific color" line?

I hope to post his background tomorrow (Wed). Too tired now. Bed is calling.

 

[garyh]

Color indeed!!

Quendros Riversong shall be royal blue.
