OOC - Hands of Fate [CALLING Temujin]

I am still reading through backgrounds and getting an idea of your character, so that your 'gifts' can compliment them accordingly.

Kevin - The ring, given to you by your master, was actually something that he was holding onto for your father. It was instructed by a note that when you were ready to venture out into the world on your own, that he give you this ring. It gives you +1 Dex for AC, Ranged Attacks, and also can stack with Weapon Finesse. Skill checks involving Dex Modifiers get a +1 as well, if they are in your Class Skills. Cross Class skills do not count towards this bonus. The ring is sliver colored and can be used once per day for 5 minutes. The trigger command is "Quick Strike".

Belvar - Your gift is an amulet handed down through your generations. It not very ornamental, but you sense power in it. It is brown, and almost looks like wood, yet it is hardier and tougher than normal wood, and almost as hard as steel. It is used as a protection ward, granting the wearer a +2 Armour bonus, +1 HP per Character Level, and also as a sensor, able to tell of danger. When triggered, it will grant the AC bonus, and glow faintly if any undead are near. This includes all undead, such as skeletons, ghouls, wraiths, etc. The effect last for 5 minutes, and can be used once per day for 10 minutes. The trigger command is "Faith in Life".

Nyela - You have acquired a cloak of greyish color on the outside, yet jet black interior. When attempting to hide, or move silently in an area with trees, bushes, or other natural terrain, you can trigger the cloak to assist you. When triggered, you get a +2 Hide and Move Silently modifier when in natural terrain. This includes forests, grasslands, high brush, and some dungeons. The cloak exterior beings to fade and blend into the surrounding areas, almost reflecting its surroundings. This benifits you in that you can now Hide and Move Silently in more areas than before. The interior pockets also grant a +2 Sleight of Hand to conceal small daggers or items from being found by a Search Check. The trigger command is "Chameleon".

Darius - Your gift is a simple stone. It is jet black, and appears to have no luster to it, almost as if it attracts light into it, but no shine. The stone has a calming feel to it, as your fingers trace the edges of its smooth surface. It fits into your palm easily, only being 2 inches wide, and oval shaped. Its material is not known. When you trigger the stone with the command "Focus", you gain one free spell of your choice one time per day. This spell has to be from a school of magic you are trained in. Since you prefer Evocation, you may gain one extra spell from those available to you in that school of magic. Example: If you have already used your Burning Hands for the day, you can use the stone to acquire another spell that you know, and use it. The process would be that you hold the stone in your hand, and use the same actions to cast the spell, as if you had not used it. The stone would then grant the spell.

OOC - You do know that you are only supposed to 'KNOW' 4 - 0level spells, and 2 - 1st level spells? Your Charisma Modifier is only for how many times you may cast spells, not how many you know. Please delete one 0 level and one 1st level spell from those listed on your character sheet.

Gray Sparrow - You have been given a set of leather shoes. At first, one would see them as frail and fragile, but when worn, you get a sense of the shoes fitting perfectly on your feet. almost as if you sis not feel them at all. When triggered with the command "Swift Kick", you gain a new quickness, and agility that you don't use often. You are granted a free Kick, at a target of your choice, but at a -4 Attack Bonus Penalty from your highest Attack for that round. If it is successful, you deal 1D4 dmg. The effects last for 1D6 rounds and can be used twice per day.

Nedander - Will finish once background is done.....

PLEASE NOTE THESE GIFTS ON YOUR CHARACTER SHEETS!

So my gift came from my father? Hmm, I never actually thought up a good background for the rest of my family. Let's see what I can come up with.

Kevin's father doesn't live in town, but he manages to visit every couple of years. Usually he stays just stays overnight, get a chance to spend some time with his wife and son and then head out again. He told Kevin he was a caravan guard and when he was home he would regale his son with tales of the places he had gone and the things he had seen. These are the fondest memories Kevin has and they convinced them that when he grew up he was going to travel the world like his dad. When Jonathan had first arrived to the village he was travelling with dad, and it was father who apprenticed Kevin to him.

DM notes.
-Kevin hasn't heard from his dad for about a year and a half now. This isn't unusual considering the rarity of his visits but it's always possible something happened to him.
-Although he might claim to be a caravan guard there is no garuantee that is the truth, merely what he told his son. In truth he could be anything from a vile rogue to a mighty wizard, perhaps he is not even human. Or he could just be a plain everyday caravan guard, I'll leave the choice to you.
-I never said what his name was. This is mostly because I'm horrible at coming up with names. If you ever give him a name just let me know and I'll pretend Kevin new it all along.

Thanks Lefferts, Nedander looks good. Problems I see:
1. Reflex save is right, but please change the Dex Modifier to +2
2. Armour Check Penalty is -3, as you are definitely carrying a medium load, and therfor encumbered.
3. Modify your Sling damage to reflect Strength bonus. Should be 1d4+1dmg.

Other than that, looks good. I will start adding the characters to the adventure.

Made the changes. Also included a quick background.

Nice work. Please add the town name as you see fit, maybe even giving it the name of Valley View. It is situated in the Western Region, near the southern edge. As it's name tells, it is situated in a valley, and is a quiet place to live.

As for your item.....

A Jade colored Brooch, that you mostly keep pinned just inside your cloak or garments, is a family heirloom. The trigger command is "Negotiate" and once triggered, it will grant you a +2 Circumstance Bonus to Diplomacy and Sense Motive checks for 5 minutes. It's use lasts for 5 minutes, once per day. It also doubles for the effects that you can cast one Charm Person spell during that time. DC15 at first level.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope you all are ready for some adventuring.

Rules - Actions are to be described as best you can. Speach should be in quotes, and thoughts in Italics. Any other questions you have, please post here. I will be posting after all players have had a chance to post in game. If you will be away from posting for more than 2 days, please let me know with a quick note here so that I can wait for you. This is going to be a quest oriented campaign, with plenty of hard challenges. If I leave something out, LET ME KNOW! This is after all my first PBP Game to DM, so I am sure that I will be running into some things that you can help me clear up.


If you don't like your items, please let me know, and I can get rid of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For Darius, his age is a little too old for a first level character, but goes in line with his background....please change to to reflect the following: Having left town at an early age, 16, he travelled around for the few years, and returned home at the age of 18, and has since tried to settle down and now has a little one on the way...making his age 19...which is the max for a level one human sorceror...If you still want him to be 22, then I can go with that...

Also, I see that you have not created a familiar...'wink, wink'...which I would like to hold off on that until you meet a suitable animal to become your familiar. If you want to create one on your own, let me know. If you want to leave that up to me, even better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the rest, one last rule...NO MULTICLASSING! Kidding!!! There is one stipulation on Multiclassing that I am putting into effect. You can not multi-Class unless you find a suitable trainer that will be willing to teach you the ways of the new class. He/She must be at least 3 Levels higher than the level you are trying to attain in that class. For example, if you were a 2nd level Fighter, wanting to learn some Rogue skills to multiclass, you would need to find a 4th level rogue to teach you first level Rogue skills. There should be plenty of chances for this to take place, but that all depends on how you act and react to certain situations and people. With you having time at the Academy, you should be able to find a few trainers that might help you out.
 


Well, we are in a bit of a spot here. Awakened hasn't responded, and I must continue on. If that's alright with you guys, then we will get underway. If you would rather have a cleric to assist, then I can open the thread back up calling for an alternate to jump in sometime in the near future. You will still proceed with your current adventure, but the alternate would join in soon.

If Awakened is out there, PLEASE RESPOND IN GAME THREAD!!!
 

~~~Hey I see your looking for alternates? And you mentioned that you may need a new character so... here I am! I'm new to the whole PbP thing but I'm picking it up quickly and am familier with most rules for 3.5 (been trying to get the 3.0 crap out of my head! :\ ).
~~~I can play anything needed or not and am good with all alignments... Just let me know what you think and I'll be on board if ya need me. Only thin I need to a quick tip on is how to post on Rogues Gallery. Outside of that... Its all good!
~~~Let me know!

Yeah, alternate needed. The character that bowed out was a cleric, and you should be able to view his info by clicking his link on the first post in this thread. Belvar was his name. You can either use that character, or come up with one all your own. You can read the other characters, and see what would best suit them. Once you get me your ideas, I will introduce you into the game shortly. As for the Rogues Gallery, just do a text document, copying my info from the first character in the Rogues Gallery for this game. Edit out what you don't need, modify everything, but put it into the same type of format I used. If you need help, let me know.

Thanks
