there was a small amount of oceangoing in the two previous adventures, but now it is mostly land based, I haven't looked at the characters yet, I think that I will have everyone together for now, as I have not seen a pbp game where everyone stayed in the original group.
EDIT: the sheets look good, you guys can maybe work together to make a good background, outside what I already gave you, for example, why skrymer is a werebear, how he contracted it, or if he was born with it, stuff like that, looking good so far! BTW HB you can join too if you want.

Okay, I've got a couple possible builds right now, each focused a bit more on melee combat... Though I'm still not sure which I should go with... A little input/opinion-giving would be welcome.
1. AoO-Focused, Heavily-Armored Front-liner. Human.
2. Semi-Sneaky, sudden invisibility and sneak attacks, wand/staff usage, reach SA. Goblin (yes, I want to play a psychotic Goblin contacting occult spirits for power.
)
3. Mounted Combat-focused, lance and greatsword, using Ride-By charges, etc. This one might not be feasible if the DM suggests mounts aren't a great idea, though I would have greatsword to fall back on. Human, maybe Half-Giant.
Then I've got a couple in mind that are far less melee-focused, but might be good for the party anyway... (depends on how WD focuses his mage)
4. Illusionist/Trickster, free illusions and Phantasmal Killer ability, wand/staff usage, high DCs. Human or Spellscale (Races of the Dragon).
5. Blasting + Control, lightning bolts, blinding, confusion, paralysis and a host of nasty tricks. Again, Human or Spellscale.
I know I can make any of these work. I'm just really indecisive at the moment... And as a further note, I can swap (to a degree) between these styles. I just like to have a bit of focus to my feats and it helps iron out ability scores for me.

any of those would work, right now mounts might not be a bad idea, there will be a fair amount of dungeon exploration, which would keep your mount from being there, but if it's paladin, it comes and goes, so no issue there.

I would do whatever I liked, Bedfords werebear seems to have the frontline pretty much covered, but if you want to make another guy to help him that'd be ok too.

I may be alone here, but I find that making characters for pre-gen adventures requires a bit of cross-table chatter to ensure that all the 'roles' are covered.
That said, and I know I'm gonna regret it later, but I'm thinking of playing a Cloistered Cleric. I just love those things to death. But I'm also interested in making a character that will support his weight AND trying something different with the build.
I'd be interested in playing some off-beat race, too, though none immediately come to mind.
I'll write more when I'm more inspired.

yeah, take your time, also, do what you want within reason, with 8 or 9 players, all of the roles can be covered more than once, so make something you like, or haven't been able to (like a werebear).
