[MENTION=84167]HolyMan[/MENTION]. I've sort of lost track so, how long have I been wearing my Ring of Sustenance for at this point? I see from the SRD that I need to have been wearing it for a week for it to start taking effect.

You need to do your wealth as for level one then I will give you an item. Nobody has their WBL but I have tired to get them close.

OH key, looks like I'm ending up with a highly mobile (50' speed ; ) melee fighter who is obsessed with combat and will happy show the proper way to use any weapon (Halved sword stances, high and low; the use of free hand in a duel, why not to use a 'standard' sword grip vs a fully armored foe, etc)

I'm thinking the character will be more then a 'bit' Nordic and while I wanted to make him be a bit over 7' tall and using monkey grip (and thus a large greatsword...) but it felt a bit miss placed in the campaign. so the character will be very tall for the campaign, but not freak-show tall. He will also be a walking arsenal (Disarming him or sundering his weapon is about as affective as tossing away actions ;3)

anyways, level one wealth keeps him with just studded leather armor, but that is not too big of a downgrade (given that he will only be using light armor do to his emphases on getting into combat fast and swiftly working around to ranged characters, or stone walling those trying to get at his own none marshal allies unexpectedly)

HM,

Can I just say thank you. I know I've only been back to posting for like 4 posts. But I really enjoy it and I wanted to thank you.

So yeah. Thanks for letting me write with you.

My pleasure Deskjob.

Creating characters and getting to write about them is half the fun of pbp. And thank you for making this fun for me as well.

Speaking about creating characters, he is a draft :3

You're forgetting the most important bits! What's this guy/gal's name, and what does he/she look like? Names are by far the best part of characters. If it's a he and Slavic/Norse themed you can borrow an old favourite of mine "Slobadan Makokyavich". Maybe PG13 rated, but still, he was a good character with fond memories.

Incidentally, humourous names in RL games are pretty common with my group. We just wound up an Oriental themed PF campaign where Fak Mi Ma fought alongside Chou Fat Wang, Tsukomai Dong and Phar Que (pronounced Par-Kway...where was your mind?). I'd love to know if any others have such a gutter-brained gaming group or not (though I am far from the noblest of the group...).

Don't you need combat expertise to get improved trip?

In reverted order!
Wolf totem barbarian, 2th level, gets it regardless of requirements ;3
..I just forgot to mention I'm using that variant

Name will likely be Folkmar <*something*>: however I want to draw the character first before setaling on anything: I don't want to say he has a tri pointed beard if he ends up with a duel or single pointed one. as his hair/eye color might change while I draw, so meh :3
Here is a past incarnation of Folkmar, as the warrior mage
[*have a proper last name that fits, but I is too lazy to drag it up just yet*]

As you can see, he has an axe staff, and he will gladly use it!
Anyways, not sure exactly what he will end up looking like, but it's not something that I ever ignore ;3


Btw, noticed I forgot to add the armor check penalty, it's taken care of for the next draft though
