[IK] The Corvis University Discreet Investigation and Retrieval Union (OOC)

[Blue_Genie]

I would like to get in on this game if possible. I have been toying with the idea of a gunmage character who is a member or maybe charter member of the group I believe they are called the Order of Illumination, sorry I don't have my books with me. The books indicated it was mostly a mage kind of organization that hunted down infernalists but if you don't have a problem with a gunmage joining I would be interested in working in that direction. I really can't remember if a 3rd level gunmage could qualify or not. If you don't like this idea I would still like to play a gunmage or possibly a ranger.

Yup, the Order of Illumination are the ones associated with the Church of Morrow who investigate and hunt down infernalists and necromancers. Unfortunately, only wizards can become official members of the Order, although there are certainly many non-wizards which associate themselves with the Order. You could think of them more as independent contractors.

I have the books and am interested in joining in. However I wont be able to get you a character before Saturday as I am working away from home. Would that be all right?

Let me know.

 

[DrunkenMonkey]

Actually the more I think about it with this Pendrake association, relic hunting kind of game direction I think I am feeling more of a ranger character. Maybe ex-cygnaran military who has somehow become associated with the university and picked up some creature lore.

That's fine, Devyn. What with complications arising from everyone not having access to the IKCG, I'm sure the character creation process will take some time. Do you have any ideas as to what type of character you'd like to play?

That sounds like it could definitely work. Let me know if this is your final decision (no rush) and if you'd like to multi-class, so I can give you more info on the class changes, as well as weapon/armor/equipment options suited for the character.

 

[DrunkenMonkey]

I am going with a ranger, I don't think I want to multiclass at this point.

 

[Blue_Genie]

If folks who are interested in playing would let me know which of the Iron Kingdoms books they possess, it would be very helpful. That way, I can fill in any blanks vis-a-vis your characters, and answer questions in a constructive way.

The Iron Kingdoms books include: the Iron Kingdoms Character Guide (IKCG), Lock&Load: Character Primer (L&L:CP), Monsternomicon (MN1) and the Witchfire Trilogy (TLN, SotE, and LoLS).

 

[Blue_Genie]

I'd be interested. Will need to borrow a character primer from a friend though. Since there's a sorcerer already, either a fighter, priest or rogue type?

Krug, any of those three would be helpful. As of right now we have a ranger and a sorcerer. Rogues are always useful, of course. Clerics in the IK are somewhat different, not your usual walking medkit.
