Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[Malvoisin]

Hiya!

I've been wanting to try out a variety of different things (y'know, put my books to use) and was thinking a Swordsage (Tome of Battle) from the Champion's district or a Favored Soul (of Kord or Moradin--standard deities? Complete Divine) from Cudgel.

They're more damage-dealing builds than damage-receiving builds, so I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for. I've played enough high-hp and high-AC characters in 3e.

Admittedly, I don't know much about Savage Tide, though. I've skimmed through the Player's Guide. If you prefer someone who knows more about the game, I understand.

Your best resources will be the player's guide, and this game so far. To be honest, I'm mostly interested in your ideas as to how to integrate your character into the game, and introduce him/her to the existing party members. Working out the build won't be difficult, I'm sure.

I should mention to any prospective applicants that I'm planning to wait a few days to allow time for ideas to come in, so there's not a rush. I'm hoping a few people will be interested.

We've still got to escape from Parrot Island first anyway.

Right, I wanted to get the ball rolling now, so that when the time comes to introduce the new character, he/she will be 100% ready to go!

Just wanted to say that Id be interested in playing...anything special I need to know about making a character? Id either like to be an aasimar paladin or a mercenary fighter.

...paladin...

*Ouch* Not that I have anything against paladins (I've played a few and have several in my games), but for certain tone of the game, paladins would complicate things. While none of our group is certainly evil, there is definitely a more swashbuck'n, chaotic swing to things.

well guess ill go with the fighter then...maybe I shoulda checked out the party before picking a class...lol Or maybe a battlerager..those are fun

I strongly second (as Mal mentioned) that anyone who wants to play look at (1) The Savage Tide Player's Guide linked above and (2) the in game thread. The first will give an idea of the tone of the setting, the latter the tone of our group.

A paladin could work, but we have not been crusading against evil and he would have to be able to get along with the rest of the scalawags in the party.

The two with the most potential conflicts IMO would be Mad Col who deals with occult dark knowledge and Kalen who is quite . . . fanciful with his descriptions.

We've got a Archivist, Dragon Shamon, Beguiler, Warmage and a Rogue. My rogue plans on picking up a couple levels of fighter for a more swashbuckling type PC.


We need a PC that can inflict heavy damage though...a big, burly two-handed power attacker, or something like that.
