Heroes of Highdale OOC

[Bloodweaver1]

I did some fine tuning to 'Blasco' (mostly tailoring skills and fleshing out equipment) though you may want to check it out before we start rolling. For basic background, I was thinking of something to the tune of vigilanty and protector of the little people. He wonders from town to town extracting 'justice' on those who take advantage of small people. Yes/No?

That's fine in principle, but I'm assuming he's not too bloodthirsty. Yes, somebody who commits heinous crimes might wind up floating in a river, but a corrupt official who squeezes local halflings for graft should wind up getting caught by the authorities or somehow forced to part with more wealth than he's gained. If you picture Blasco leaving a trail of bodies in his wake, he's going to have hunters of his own after him. And they'll be the good guys...

when are we restarting?

Well if you're done with your character, go ahead and post it in the Rogue's Gallery thread:

That will bring us back up to 5 PCs. I'll do a final review of all the PCs tonight and we can restart tomorrow!

Cool. Looks good, but could I possible talk you out of Monkey Grip? From a flavor standpoint there really aren't any Large creatures in the campaign that would be making quality weapons. I can't imagine any that would be making +3 Mithral greatswords, ceratainly. And from an effectiveness standpoint I think you'd be better off with Power Attack anyway.

Large Greatsword does +1d6 damage over a regular greatsword (average 3.5) but you take a -2 to attack.

With Power Attack you can take the same -2 to attack and get +4 damage, but have the flexibility to dial that penalty and damage (way) up and down as appropriate.

okay, then i'll change the sword. in gc it doesn't realy matter. attack bonus was incorrect with monkey, but it is good now

 

[Ilium]

gc? What's gc?

Ah. I see. That actually makes a lot more sense than GP (for Gold Pieces).

By the way, when I said "Tomorrow" to start, I meant "Tuesday." I forgot it's Friday today and Monday is, of course, New Year's day. I may be on the boards over the week-end, but let's plan to really get started on Tuesday. I'll write up a little intro to cover the original team's return to Highdale and the news of what happened reaching the new characters.

So for each of the new people, I need to know at least what you're doing in Highdale (I understand Kay'nar has been in Highdale for a while, so that's no mystery. But Blasco and Bargulg need a reason for being here. Even if that reason is "just passing through," I'd like to know where you're coming from and going to, etc.

One thing, Fenris2: Are you sure about that Chaotic Neutral alignment? Starting orphanages sounds dangerously close to Good.
