(LHHS) OOC Thread I

[Lichtenhart]

Thank you; it seems to fit really well my character concept.
I'll tweak a few minor things (height and weight) but I think that's it.

Heh, well I guess my resistance is entirely because this is my baby we are playing in. My campaign world is my baby.

I decided, upon reading your description, that they could be the predecesors of the lizardfolk, the brutish thugs that once were there.

I read you.

How bout I play him as a Saurial and he knows where he came from and how he got there, but he has to constantly explain to everyone that he's just a "big Lizardman"?

That gives me an idea - he can try to fake (badly) a snake-like hissssssss to better "fit in" in a world where Lizardfolk are accepted.

Or he doesn't know why he's different from the others, but simnply by process of elimination he must be a Lizardman.

I'll leave it up to you and your knowledge of your world as to how he can bring up where he's from (if he knows).

Character sheet will be upcoming.

P.S. I only mention the FR background because that's the context that they were presented in Dragon 292.
I actually am not a FR follower, and don't know anything about that other than the Dragon article.
So if you want to create a background for your world that involves a lost world that Brawn in from, I think that would be a lot better than the (slightly lame) background they have for Saurials in FR.

And to be honest - it took me about 6 years to want to play a Saurial - they just never seemed that realistic to me until recently.

P.P.S. If I chose to be a cleric, and I don't see info about dieties listed, could i take the Charm and Retribution domains?
A friendly, helpful, CG dinosaur-dude, but woe be to those that screw him over!
When he fights back, LOOK OUT!

You can mix and match domains. A Cleric can ask one deity a question with his Commune spell, and another deity the next day. Divine power is imbued to cleric's in general, though if you lost favor with all gods you would loose your cleric abilities. Also, gods you anger, or gots that are generally opposed to the reason you pray will not answer your calls.

Either lead is fine. Email me whenever you choose if you want any background elements to be added. Though I think I prefer this lead:

,cause it gives me more to work with.

sounds good!
I'm in the IR channel right now, BTW, talking to Sollir.

 

[Dalamar]

Count me in, I'll wrap up a char in no time.

 

[Macbrea]

I decided to color code my posts, so people can tell what language I am speaking in. Common tongue and Draconic are the current colors that I am using. Since, I was thinking Yorick sucks speaking common but is someone decent at Draconic.

 

[reapersaurus]

Hmmmm.. if Yorick and Brawn talk to each other in common, they'll be almost exact!
I'm having him use sea green for any communication.
If he speaks in Draconic, I just mention it in a blurb before he talks - that way, no memorization of colors is necessary.

 

[Creamsteak]

All is good.

 

[Darkwolf]

I'll follow Macbrea's system...Here's what I am using:Elven, Undercommon, Common, Draconic, Drow Sign Language
I will mention it also unless speaking common...but this way what people don't understand will be easily seen so they can ignore it.

 

[Lichtenhart]

I'd like more if everyone picked up a color for his voice and put a tag when not speaking in common, something like

[draconic]Hi Yorick, how are you?[/draconic]
[draconic]Fine, thanks.[/draconic]

but I'll stick with the majority.
