[OOC] A Little Night Music

[johnsemlak]

I've added a short bit of character background. Tell me if it works, tKL.

I'm changing my favored enemy ot reptilians, as is evident in my character background so far.

 

[johnsemlak]

My character background:

Roland was born into a family of humans in the Elven town of Floodrun. His family were descendants of humans who had remained in the once-human town. Growing up in an Elven village, Roland had many elven friends took on many elven ways.

When he was young, Roland joined teh local guard. He occastionally did battle with lizard men and gnolls who raided the town. After demonstrating himself to be a skilled archer and woodsman, he took part in some forays into the swamps against the lizard men. During these raids Roland honed his skills on tracking and hunting the reptilian lizard men.

Roland is in Torakas having just arrived leading a convoy of merchants and nobles from Floodrun.

Hi, all. Just got back from Florida and have caught up with all the posts. Since it looks like we still don't have an arcane spellcaster, put me down for a sorceror--I've never played one before, so I figure it's high time. More details in the next day or two.

Looking forward to it!

 

[Shoggoth]

Hi, all. FYI, just settled on a canis kobold rogue/sorceror. Hope that's okay. Stats and background to follow in a day or two.

Huh, that's weird, I'm working on a Canis Kobold conjurer at the moment. Maybe our characters know each other?

OTOH, if you feel my concept is a little too close to your own, I can switch back to my Bard idea. I'm happy with either, so go with whatever you prefer.

 

[Douane]

Hmmm, I'm the last one to check in.

I'll be going with a human rogue. (Couldn't convince myself to try an arcane caster, but as I see now, it was a good decision that way. )

Good luck on the rogue Douane, I know what you mean about not being able to convince yourself. I went from sorcerer to rogue, before going the psywarrior route myself. I had good concepts for both but couldn't seem to implement them mechanically.

Strange coincidences!

I had originally considered a psion (never played one before), but you had already secured the psionic spot for yourself, so I looked around.

In fact, I'm already feeling the mechanic constraints. No matter, how many skills one gets, they are never enough for your concept. And some abilities do never fit it.

Hi, Jarval. Please go with the conjurer, by all means. And I think it would be great if our PCs know each other. I'm open to ideas.

Hi, all. I'm going to try to answer some questions in this post, but if I don't get to them now, I'll answer them later tonight. First, though, here's the party:

(1--Ftr) Roland (Human Rgr1, johnsemlak)
(2--Div) (Clr1 of Kord, Verbatim)
(3--Arc) (Canis Con1, Jarval)
(4--Psi) (Human PsyW1 rangerjohn)
(5--Rog) (Rog1, Douane)
(6--WC) (Ftr?0/Abj0, GnomeWorks)
(7--WC) Quintus Valdemere (Elf Mar1, Uriel)
(8--WC) (Canis Rog0/Sor0, Shoggoth)

Now, questions...

rangerjohn: The common man fears and distrusts psions, leading to the establishment of orders and monasteries in quieter places (frequently peopled by monks and psy warriors as well). In large cities, such as Tharokas, people are a little bit more blasé about it, but it's still best not to advertise having psionic powers. If you have specific ideas and concepts for an order or school, drop me an e-mail; I'm willing to work things into the world. Otherwise, I'll post some stuff for you.

johnsemlak: That looks good to me.

Shoggoth and Jarval: It's nice to see folks trying the Canis out. I'm really curious to see how they work in extended play.

Douane: I rec'd your e-mail. I've got to go now, but will respond to it later today.

Verbatim: If you're still interested in picking up Tekk in my other game, pop over here to the OOC thread for that game and let us know.

Best,
Nick
