[OOC] d20 Middle Earth-Eagle of the Star (Full )

[Robbert Raets]

Two questions; Is Haldir Sindar or Noldor? Is Mithril Shirt or Elven Chain 'magical' equipment?

 

[zug_zug]

I believe actually Haldir was a wood elf, or Silvan elf. To be honsest Im not sure if its made too clear, but most sources I see regard him as a wood elf.

As for the armors, both are considered magical in DnD terms. The Mithril shirt is obviously under the 2k limit. But just 1 magic item per customer

Also, potions of healing dont count against this restriction. You can purchase them as if "mundane" items. Rauthur/Balin has healing potions in his equipment.

ok, i dont own the DMG so can someone lemme know how much gold we start out with...

and zug zug, for the magic item, do u want us to pay for it, or by credit did u mean we get a 2000 gp free magic item?

 

[shaff]

robbert, would u like to work together on our backgrounds, and make a background as if we know each other?

 

[Robbert Raets]

Sure, why not.

 

[shaff]

ok, ill e-mail u and we can work through that...

Zug Zug, for Dunadain characters did you want us to use straight PHB humans or one of the versions from the MED20 conversion site? The versions there are:

1) Dunedain and other Numenoreans: as per D&D Half-Elves, except NO Low-Light Vision; in exchange, they get the extra 1st level Feat and extra Skill Points available to normal humans.


2) Dunedain (Men of the West)
+2 Presence (Charisma)
Medium-size (6' to 6' 6" tall)
Base speed 30 feet
+1 bonus feat at 1st level
+4 bonus Skill Points at 1st level and +1 bonus Skill Point per level thereafter.
Automatic languages:


3) Numenoreans: As D&D half-elves, with the extra feat and skills of a human


As for stats, I'd probably rather a point buy or if you just allocated a certain spread of stats to everyone, the temptation to overinflate stats is sitting before me like the dark side

Also, where should I look for more on Halbarad?

I'm having the same problem, IH

As for Halbarad, look here.

 

[zug_zug]

IH, for races use the d20 Middle Earth conversion, more specifically Col. Hardisson's version, so the answer would be #3.

As for attributes, Im going on trust. I would rather have the fate of the rolls dictate, than have everyone have the same array of stats. Though the temptation to inflate is there, I only ask that you act in the spirit of the setting and be honorable To further tempt you may roll for your own HP as well. (Rauth, as far as I can see Balin has no HP on his sheet).

Also I need to make a clarification regarding equipment. Being away from thr game for 5 months had turned me into an idiot. Not having a physical copy of the DMG didnt help either.

Anyway, wealth for a character at level 4 should be 5400 gp. We shall use this guidline. You may purchase whatever equipment you see fit mundane or magical from the 3 core books- however no single item may exceed 2000 gp in value. Also bear in mind some spells are restricted in ME (see the d20 conversion site) so items with enchantments or similar abilities from those spells-if any- are forbidden.

I apologize for the confusion. Rauth feel free to take another look at Balin. Other than this your dwarf looks fine-I liked the skills you picked for him, they are certainly representaive of a dwarf of the Lonely Mountain.

Thanks.

Ok, i've looked at Balin, all i've done is change his armour from half plate to halfplate + 1, is the battle axe +1 allowed? it costs something like 2300?
