[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 2517575, member: 22226"] Bob I thought your character would really present a nice contrast to many of the fighter types. Your character might really have some ideal role-playing moments given in this current adventure/campaign. If you want to stay, I'll make room for seven players. Elapse and Krug You have both brought up something that this [URL=http://home.comcast.net/~leaderdesslok/midnight/midnight_vp-and-worth.htm]page[/URL] might not explain so well. As you guys know from Midnight 1E, barter has replaced the monetary system in war-torn Eredane. In 2E, the gold piece standard has been replaced by value points. In the characer descriptions on this [URL=http://home.comcast.net/~leaderdesslok/midnight/]site[/URL], each class gets so many value points much like a starting character gets so many gold pieces in standard D+D. Since we all don't have Midnight 2E, let's just call 1 vp = 1 gp. However, in Northern Eredane, [URL=http://home.comcast.net/~leaderdesslok/midnight/midnight_vp-and-worth.htm]contraband[/URL] (weapons, armor, etc.) has a regional modifier of x2, meaning weapons, armor, etc. actually cost twice as much. Thus, Krug, a greataxe in the Player's Handbook costs 20 gp, it will have a value of 40 vp in Northern Eredane. Food, Raw Materials, and Finished Goods (simple weapons, light armor, rope, leatherwork, etc.) all have x3 regional multipliers in Northern Eredane. All players need to consider this when purchasing starting equipment for their characters. KL and RR Monday is not too late for a character. I'll list you both as players unless you want out. RR The monk has been replaced with the [URL=http://home.comcast.net/~leaderdesslok/midnight/midnight_defender.htm]defender[/URL], a warrior that uses her own fists, kicks, and improvised weapons to fight the Shadow. Your "at a glance background" works. Just flesh it out and scratch "monestary". :) Everyone One thing I would like you to consider is what you envision your character's role would be in Caft. When I open the first scene, I don't want to have your character doing things you would not agree with. Does your character frequent the inn when the sun goes down for some ale? Does she hang out with other outsiders? A loner? Or does she just gather her meal from her employer's wife and sullenly eat her meal in quiet under a knotted pine, thankful for a break from back-breaking toil? I have not given out too many details on the adventure/campaign because I want some input from you on your character's actions. The opening scene should set things up with enough information for role-playing to begin. Also, do any of the heroes (player characters) interact with each other in Caft? Are any friends? You might wish to consider this when writing up backgrounds. I look forward to more characters! BTW, I will not have internet access until Saturday. I'll check back then. [/QUOTE]
