Awesome so theres a spot open? Are you still in need of a martial player or was that a different thread? I'll read through everything again and come up with a background.
 


Just a quick question before I start on my character. What class is Scotley playing? I just don't want to double up on the class. At first glance I'm still leaning towards a cavalier or ranger, with a hawk animal companion since it was common amongst nobles in that era.

And thank you for letting me join the game.

I think the question is which class is Scotley not playing. I'm playing the Battle Herald Prestige class. Which required me to take a level of bard, a level of Cavalier and I choose to focus on straight up fighter. So, I've only taken one level of Cavalier and I expect to focus on Battle Herald for the next several levels. Since I only lightly dipped into Cavalier it won't step on my toes at all for you to go there. I normally pick one or two classes and stick with them so this is something of an experiment for me. I can count the number of prestige classes I've played over the years on one hand. I started with the role and concept and worked backward on classes where ever it took me and it turns out that it took me down a pretty twisted path.

A little advice since you are new to EN World. JA is ostensibly running a Pathfinder game, but in truth he still plays a sort of seat of the pants/balls out 1e style the way we did back in the 80's with little focus on the rules and more of a focus on 'tell me what you want to do and roll some dice and we'll see what happens'. Something a little closer to the vision EGG had for the game in the early days, IMHO. JA likes players who make things happen. Of course that often means giving us enough rope to hang ourselves. He doesn't hand you an adventure on a silver platter, your character has to take the crumbs he tosses out and figure out what to do with them. He's not afraid to take what we as player give back and run with it.
 

HMMMM....while very true....is it a compliment, a complaint or a combination of both :)......and please remember BSF..that Scotley sometimes suffers from delusions and fits due to various combinations of adult beverages he consumed while in high school and college...some things should just not be mixed together :)

My comment were certainly complementary from my perspective, but everyone has a different idea of what D&D should be as evidenced by the wide variety of opinions being bandied about here as 5e approaches.

I might have had a little too much coffee this morning leading to a bit of a tendency toward grandiosity.

And hey, pure grain alcohol, sloe gin and Mt. Dew in a Styrofoam big cup with small bits ice from sonic was and still is a perfectly valid combination. Even if the name we had for said drink will not pass the 'Eric's Grandma' standard for posting here at ENWorld. I can tell you it started with 'Pink'.

Hmmm, Maybe I'll bring PGA and Sloe Gin to LakeCon this year...
