Sam, I just realised your character isn't in the rogues gallery. If possible, could you post it in statblock format. You can add more if you wish.
...Snip...
Also, I didn't receive a Hopes and Fears response. Did you send one?

Looked for the Character thread in the Rogues Gallery, didn't see it. Could you post the link?

Going to be away this weekend (my wife & I are going to ShoreCon [our first con!]), be back monday. I'll send you the Hopes & Fears when I return.

Sam, If you click on "head dog" in my sig, it will take you to the rogues gallery thread.

Have a good weekend.

Cheers.

Hey all. Just a heads up.

I am going to be gone from the 15th of September to the end of the month. I'll be cruising the Barrier reef on a 35' cat, so no internet access.

If we can finish this encounter before I go, I'll deposit you in an inn to chat amoung yourselves (should you wish to).

Sam, could you get your character up in the RG thread. I would like to clear away the old thread.

OK. Sorry about the delay. Computer probs, login probs.

Thanks for getting Tharl up Sam.

I pushed things on quite a few rounds. If you object to anything, let me know. Otherwise, feel free to get IC.

I have been tempted to change the game to v3.5. Mostly because all the new stuff comming out will be v3.5. I haven't done any significant analysis of how this will affect the characters. If you don't like the changes that it would entail to your character, I think it would be possible to leave them v3.0 while shifting the rules to v3.5.

Anyway, just a thought. Let me know what you think. We will need to decide either way before I leave (the 14th).

A html version of the SDR can be found here.

Antway, just a thought. Let me know what you think. We will need to decide either way before I leave (the 14th)

3.5 sounds good to me. I really like the changes, so I'm all for it. Either way's fine, though. Whatever you think's best, DH

I really like the changes that I have noticed as well. Particularly the new ranger. Gotta try me one of those.

Maybe on these guys ...

I agree. Either way you want to go is fine with me.

Have a good trip DH!

Just realized something. In the pantheon, is the School of War & Strength devoted to one aspect/deity that (for lack of a better term) is the ood of War & Strength, or does it worship the aspects of War and of Strenght (2 different gods/aspects)?

Good question*. Quick answer: I don't know exactly.

My original thinking was along the lines of the latter. The aspects are not so much Gods, but facets of the force underpinning the universe. (For simplicity they are the same as the Dominions in the official setting.) Each of these represents a different path or channel to the underlying force of the universe. There are no deities as understood in western reglion (except perhaps the Emperor - although I haven't decided exactly what his role is. For the moment you can consider him to be the symbolic center of spiritual power, to which all the Churches' owe their allegence.).

Traditionally, the schools have combined two aspects which they believe to have significant synergy. For example, amoung the farmers, the most widely supported churches are the School of Air and Luck (for the beginning of the growing season and times of bad weather) and Earth and Law (the whole system of agriculture is based upon extensive irrigation works and harmonious co-operation).

The 3.5 SRD seems to suggest that a Cleric is required to have a deity.

Alignment: A cleric's alignment must be within one step of his deity's (that is, it may be one step away on either the lawful-chaotic axis or the good-evil axis, but not both). A cleric may not be neutral unless his deity's alignment is also neutral.

In Kore, you are not. Nor are their any alignment restrictions, even where the Domain is "aligned": ie Chaos Domain. It is your actions that count. (Why would a character wish to live by a philosophy centered around a aspect that goes against their beliefs? Should such a situation arise, it would, and should, create great internal conflict for the character.)

OK. So thats my thinking at the mo'. Let me know if it poses any problems.

*Actually, a great question. I really need to get some more of the background specifics sorted. Keep them comming.
