Into the New World - Recruitment OPEN (Current players stay OUT!)

[Zurai]

I was wondering if a barbarian hunter would fit in. Someone who "inspires" to hunt the bigger game. If you approve, I will elaborate and have a character sheet up. If you would prefer something else..... then I will find something else!

A barbarian-based hunter would be absolutely fine. There's plenty of big game out there for you to hunt! 12 foot tall dire owlbears, anyone?

Hey, aren't owlbear abberations? So how did that get there? Hm....

 

[Redclaw]

Character sheet looks good.

Yep, there are herbalists.
Background looks good.

Awesome. I updated both a bit (switched alertness for stealthy, based on the background, and added to the herbalist a bit.)

Whoops, forgot I'd removed those. Originally I was going to bump up low hp classes based on BAB progression (low BAB would be d6 minimum, med BAB would be d8 minimum, and high BAB would be d10 minimum), but then I decided the Vitality and Wound Points rules would cover that well enough. Sorry for the confusion! You should have 9 VP and 12 WP.

Thanks for clearing that up.
Switched my Int and Con around, felt i needed more Wound. so im at 10 Vitality, 14 Wound.

A few more questions : Do we have dogs? Do we ride horses? Do we have wheels? What kinds of tools for woodcutting and farming do we have (Axes, saws, plows, shovels, spades, sickles, scythes)? What kinds of eating utensils? What do people in this culture tend to look like (skin, eyes, hair, build)?

Domesticated Dogs: No, but there's nothing stopping a Ranger from taking a wolf as his or her animal companion, and who knows what might come of that...
Horses: Yes. The horses here are equivalent mechanically to light horses in the MM. They're used almost entirely for mounts; they're too light to be much use for a farmer.
Tools: All of the stuff you listed would be available; I don't want to get too bogged down in the details of what farming implements are invented when. Axes, saws, plows, and scythes would likely be made of bronze; the others would be bone, wood, or stone as appropriate and available.
Eating Utensils: Mostly wooden forks and spoons, with knives made of bronze.
Appearances: Midling tall, fair skin, dark hair. Typical western European, basically. The community hasn't been settled long enough for traditional caste dimorphism to set in (ie, farmers and craftsmen don't look noticeably different).

I noticed that you mentioned in clothing that women wear skirts. Is this a mild sexual prejudice or just a coincidence of fashion?

It's a prejudice of I prefer women in skirts No one would look down on a woman wearing pants if she so desired.

Enko the Spirit Shaman.

Looks good.

His survival was attributed to the little people in the forest.

Did the little people really save him? I'll leave this up to you. If you say the fae protected him, then they did. If you say otherwise, that's just what the superstitious people will say about him.

Oh, and starting gold?

Average starting gold for your class; go ahead and use PHB prices for equipment, but any "money" you don't use is lost. Feel free to purchase trade goods if you want (and if there's something you think would be a trade good here but isn't listed, just ask). Remember that this isn't a warlike society, so things that are used only in war aren't going to be possible - stuff like swords and any armor heavier than hide or ring mail.

 

[Zurai]

Oh yeah, where can I find the Spirit Shaman class?

Complete Divine. They're essentially a spontaneous Druid with a bunch of spirit-related class features.

 

[Zurai]

Hey, aren't owlbear abberations? So how did that get there? Hm....

Owlbears are magical beasts.

 

[Zurai]

I have an idea for a sorceress...perhaps a rival to the PC wizard? A difficult student...not intellectual at all. Magic fueled by emotion and instinct rather than erudite understanding. Impatient...impulsive. A yin to wizardry's yang.

That character concept sounds fine.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Well I was hoping they did, that would be both more interesting and more plausible. He's not a Greek hero or something. Of course none of them know for certain, it's just a superstition for them. He doesn't remember it much, just getting lost and not minding much, then he woke up outside of the forest with someone he knew as his father's hunting friend looking down at him worriedly.

I like women in skirts too.

I don't have complete divine. :\

Do we have any Epic legends in our culture?

Have we developed the concept of pets?

Do we have any philosophy or mathematics?

Do we have writing?

Do we have any sign languages?

Edit for the owlbears: Still, hmmmm..... Are there any other creatures or plants around here that real people would consider odd? Speaking of plants, what about a well known healing plant that could be my character's mark?
