(Inactive) Psion's Return to the Tomb of Horrors (ORG)

[Olaf the Stout]

Olaf,

Since you were the first to express interest, you are most likely in, especially considering your willingness to hit on classes we haven't had volunteers for. If you can't make it during the Christmas/New Year week, that's fine, though it would be good if you can get your primary character done by then.

Well see how the other characters pan out, since there are several who have expressed interest who have not posted yet.

Thanks for that Psion. What characters do you want me to make up? Wizard, rogue, fighter or barbarian?

• When you can post [...] and how often. Weekdays ~ 9-5, multiple times if necessary. Maybe once per weeknight if necessary. Weekends will be sporadic.
• Two characters you would like to play, including race, classes and levels. Human Fighter 14 with Robilar's Gambit (PH2 -- I think I can get it at 14th level?). Personality-wise, a professional mercenary adventurer, in it for the fame and fortune.
  
  Dwarf (or human?) Fighter 14 with a bunch of interesting tactical feats like Improved Bull Rush, Combat Brute (CW). Stuff that lets me control the battlefield without being a spellcaster.
  
  If no one's playing a rogue, I can do that as well. But my impression is that rogues are going to be tedious in a PbP environment, so it's not my first choice.
• The following facts about your knowledge of Tomb of Horrors: Do you own it? Yes.
  Have you played it? Yes, ages ago. We died at

  the bleeding walls.
  Have you run it? Maybe. I can't remember. I was 12.
  Do you consider yourself familiar with it? Yes. I've read it many times.
  The same question for Return to the Tomb of Horrors. Own it. Have not played nor run it, but have read it many times and consider myself very familiar with it. However, I can keep my player knowledge separate from my character knowledge. (That's part of the reason I'd prefer to play a straight fighter, so my role is strictly defined and the party isn't looking to me to solve problems all the time.)

 

[Psion]

Sounds good, Joshua. Robilar's Gambit is cool. I'll have to check the other feats

Thanks for that Psion. What characters do you want me to make up? Wizard, rogue, fighter or barbarian?

Olaf, since Joshua is willing to play a fighter, you are cool to take a wizard or rogue. Rogue seems slightly more needful, but there are some partial rogues if you'd prefer the wizard.

If we gel quickly and everyone can start next week, I may get rolling and assume you are supposed to meet the party in the starting town. I won't put you behind on experience. I just want to get to the "good stuff."

All: I'll post a RG thread soon. You don't need to put your chars here, just the concept.

All: Also, your characters are assumed to know each other in some fashion, and some of you have worked with the back-up characters. As we start getting characters posted, consider how you might know each other.

Ardent sounds interesting/different.

The dervish build might be good, as we are lacking fighter volunteers so far.

Okay so

goliath who is either:
x) Ardent
y) fi/ranger/rogue/dervish

Any thougths from the peanut gallery as to which is prefered? I am betwitxed and between as both are concepts I want to try. From what I hear I may get my wish, given the deadliness of the module. I might add that I now remember the sphere of aniliation that some one mentioned.

 

[Kafkonia]

Both sound fine. Is K supposed to be a spellscale, too?

Sorry, I meant to list him as a human.

 

[LiquidBlue]

Psion, I just found this thread, and thought that I would check in. I am still intereseted in a game. I can post regularly, at least three times M-F, and I have not read or played either adventure.

[sblock]I have head about the sphere of aniliation, and that acebek has various soul stones that must be destroyed. Even that last bit, I am not certain is true.[/sblock]

I am turning a couple of character concepts in my head, and will post when I have them figured out. I am leaning towards a roguish character as my primary character, with a full caster as my secondary charcter.

Alright... I'll assume that's the way it is going to pan out and move the rest of the top 6 to the active list.

Olaf... with LiquidBlue taking a rogue, it looks like you can play a primary wizard if you would like. Which is probably a good thing, as someone on the verge of getting 8th level spells could be of great assistance.

 

[LiquidBlue]

Psion, would you approve a Human Beguiler 14, from the Player's Hanbook 2? I realize that it is not from one of the books listed.

I figured a Beguiler with its trpafinding, an occupy the same role as a rogue. If playing a beguiler is not approved, I'll go ahead and make a rogue.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Thank you for picking me up for this game. I've excited to be a part of things.

Would you rather that my alternate PC be another cleric? If Peja goes down, the party might be hurting for healing. I haven't started working on the alternate yet, so the door is wide open as to what I come up with. Wizard, rogue, fighter, another cleric...anything, really.

 

[Rino]

put me on the alternate list, want me to build me a PC in advance? or when someone drops out i will do a look a like
