Heroes of the Day [Dawnforge] (Ended)

Sounds interesting. I'm partial to a lizard man spirit adept.

Question: Should characters be built with their first legend point? After all, what self-respecting Dawnforge character would reach 5th level without having done something legendary?

Glad to have you, Mark Chance.

I think having your first legend point will be all right and I'll note that in the first post. I'll want to see the story for that in the group background and perhaps that's where your enemy can stem from, as well.

That seems reasonable. For a group background, the easiest thing to do might be to co-opt the basic storyline from Path of Legend. This would account for earning a legend point, introduce several possible enemies and allies, et cetera.
 

That would work. I don't have Path of Legend, unfortunately, so I can't be of any help with that, but the players are more than welcome to use that as the basis for their background if they wish.

And just to clarify, I don't expect pages and pages of background for characters or the group. A couple of paragraphs should be more than sufficient.

I'm pretty familiar with it. If that's the route the group wants to go, I can handle a group background rough draft.

I take it you don't have the core Dawnforge book, Strahd? That is going to make things somewhat difficult as all of the races are different, some of the classes have been replaced, and there are some minor rules changes. Amazon.com still has the dead tree version in stock and you can find the .pdf on drivethrurpg.com if you are interested.
Oh... I didn't know, I'm not famliar with this world then ... let me check it out.
I'll see if I can arrange the book, If not ... I'll step down :(

Okay, Strahd. I would like to see you in the game, so I hope you can get a copy.
 

Mark I read your link to Path of Legend. It sounds like a good idea.

Just to help with my characters background, how does the group intially meet and/or get together?
 

I'm being Indecisive Larry, but I have a total of four character concepts, one pretty much done, one halfway done, and two with most major decisions made, but with mechanics unfinished. I'm willing to be whatever we need (or just whatever folks would like to see me play)

1. Targ - Ogre fighter 5, simple-minded but good-hearted, many options in combat, all playing to his immense strength. Basically exiled for being too nice for his own good, he's looking for someone to tell him what to fight (as long as it doesn't involve fighting nice people).

2. Vermillion Primrose - Gnome shaman 5, sweet-natured young woman, very in tune with what the wilds tell her. Has a particularly strong bond with her owl animal companion, and is an expert summoner of other creatures of the wilds (has feats and racial talents to improve her summon nature's ally spells).

3. Laraska - Lowlander shaper 5, Shadow and Vitality divine foci. Vibrant and secretive, she uses her divine power in almost careless ways, drawn to various purposes as luck and the winds take her. She trusts in fate to bring her to where the Spirit needs her to be. Raised in a rich town in a rich nation, the concept of saving her power for when it is needed doesn't really occur to her.

4. Kimble Kesh - Saltblood swashbuckler or rogue 5, explorer and duelist, well versed in the realities of life. Though he always has a smile on his face and laughs in the face of danger, he keeps his sword close and his friends closer.

I'm honestly torn, and I probably have another six ideas in the back of my head, but these four thrust to the forefront. Who shall I play? I have Targ all but finished, and Vermillion is halfway there. Laraska and Kimble only have talents, transformations, and feats sorted. Who do we need most? Starman, anyone you'd want to particularly see in your game? My fellow players, anyone we particularly need?
 

Hm. I haven't heard from the guy running the WarCraft game, and I've got a bad feeling about whether I'll get into the M&M game - mind if I bump myself up from Alternative if I don't hear from them/get accepted by tomorrow?
