Oh, yeah - I decided to go swashbuckler, which, as all classes in CW, has the problem of no starting gold. It seems that 5d4x10, like the rogue, would be a good fit, but I wanted to pass this by you first.
You know... I've never had the joy of making a character with a class from CW, CD, or CA and didn't know they didn't have "starting gold"
Since the swashbuckler seems to be a rogue I'd say 5d4x10 but he is actually in the complete WARRIOR. All of the "warrior types" (Fighter, paladin, ranger... except barbarian (monks are not fighter types)) have 6d4x10... my rule of thumb is, always give the player the better of two choices... so officially, the Swashbuckler in this game receives 6d4x10 GP = 240 starting gold to you, Knight Uta
As for the warlock... both the sorcerer and wizard are stuck at 3d4x10 gold. I'd bump you up but then others who might want to play a sorcerer or wizard might nix it and go with the warlock for more gold. No choices there for you, sir. Sorry... 120gp for you, hafrogman.
Just so you know... there is a reason you get max gold in my game world (beyond me just being nice that way... I actually usually give max gold). Enber is a land of great wealth. It is not hard for anyone to make a great living, especially adventurers. So max gold better reflects this.
Ashy... Since you left me with the choice... I'm sort of waiting until everyone's decided what they want to play so that your character will be what ever the group needs most. (as it looks at the time of posting, a rogue or cleric) I know you are busy right now and that might have had something to do with the choice to have me build this guy. So... the GM in me keeps me waiting.
As it looks right now, you'll probably be playing a Cleric of Thorus Odara with the Good and War domains (Heavy Shield and Longsword weilding elf and a desire to kick people's arses if they are not happy... it is a strange place for a cleric of Thorus Odara to be. While Odara is a serious god, devoted to protecting the innocent and bringing justice (often he is referred to as "The Judge", a priest of his is often very much like a paladin. BUT, growing up elf and living the life of Thel'Lorean, Odara's son, you also can't help but embody the carefree lifestyle of beauty and art that surrounds the elven culture.
Priest of Odara: Hey... no reason to be down. Cheer up, life is what you make it!
Depressed Guy: I don't want to cheer up.
Priest of Odara: Cheer up or I'll kill you!
(They are not that bad, of course, but that's the idea.)
It also looks like a Halfling Rogue might also be the order of the day. (Though, I'm suspecting cleric.) Remember the Halfling motto; "Live by the work of your own two hands... specifically, your own two hands wrapped around somebody else's coin purse!" (Again, not true... but that's what MANY other peoples of the various races *think* the halfling motto is) Halflings in my world are quirky. I love halfers... and that love of my specific type of halfer has probably helped to cement Deadestdai's loathing of them. (IN his adventure, I had to DM an NPC Cleric who I chose to make a Halfling... this guy refused to heal someone unless they paid him and denied emphatically that he was actually a cleric at all... after all, if people knew he was a cleric, they would expect cleric duties out of him... that's just too much work! Eventually, he formed bonds of friendship with the party members and now heals them for free (or did before disappearing into some kind of mystical portal that sent him off to another dimention)
One other thing
ARGH!!!!!
Darn it... I wondered why my computer kept telling me that I was spelling Moradin's name wrong. It turns out that my computer is smarter than I am but limited in its communication methods to me. It was not telling me that I was mispelling Moradin but trying to tell me that Moradin is the REGULAR dwarven god. In my novel, the Dwarven God's name is Oberon, Writer of The Law. (This is also the case with the Gnomes, they worship Oberon, not Moradin... though, Oberon of the Gnomes does not have the Law and is worshiped monotheastically, sans the Norse like pantheon of gods in Dwarven religion... this leads to an interesting postulation by various religeon scholars who suggest that Oberon is leading a double life and sneaking off from all the stress of his "law" and duties of the dwarven pantheon of gods for a bit of leisure with his concubine/wife whome the Gnomes worship. Of course, stating such blasphemy to a dwarf within earshot is akin to nothing short of shaving his mother's beard off, bringing swift and painful retribution)
OBERON! (Yes, named for the Fairy King in Midsummer Night's Dream, as I'm a huge fan of Bill Wigglestick)
OBERON!
OBERON!
