OOC - Krauss' Age of Worms Adventure Path [Full]

I like the point that Azten would have met Gregor before, even briefly, and have had some opportunity to get over a bit of his dwarven anti-Giant racial prejudice. If he healed Gregor then he'd most likely have had reason to be favorable to the giant. Perhaps Gregor was injured saving/rescuing a fellow miner at some risk to himself?

Besides - I dislike playing interPC conflict, especially when starting out.

My game plan for Gregor is a cursed misfit who is good-hearted and welcoming. Most have treated him as an outsider target to vent their frustrations on and he is wary and ready to defend himself, but anybody who treats him decently finds him friendly and a dependable companion. He would have no innate hatred of dwarves or anything like that.

 

[Azten]

Well, a little bit of conflict is always fun.

Agreed.

Feel free to roleplay groans, sighs and rolling of eyes.

Sure. I might throw in a 'smack upside yo head' with my holy symbol* as well, just for his own good...

The character concept sounds ok by me.

Good.

It's funny, reading through everyone's descriptions and stats last night, it occurs to me that Gregor may well end up being a bit of a 'tank' for the party. He may want to have me riding in a backpack to apply healing as needed...

As was mentioned earlier in the post. We have four characters with high charisma and two that don't. The two that don't is a tank of a man and the other will probably end up being the battery for the tank.

if you guys don't like this idea, or get tired of my posts, please let me know and I will tone it back a bit

Sounds like a fun idea. Owen will just have to put Kenneth in his place .

Kenneth: Many thanks for getting that mosquito for me, Whurzak. It has been quite a bother all day!

And note that the tank bruiser's not shabby with diplomacy +8. Not bad for 1st level with a 10 Charisma.

As for a tank, I'll be limited to light armor and simple weapons. But the concept is a physical combat bruiser who will wade into battle with a 20 Strength.

 

[Azten]

heh. Reminds me a bit of something I read a long time ago about someone's half-orc barbarian who had two axes. He named the larger 'Persuasion' and the smaller 'Diplomacy'.

There was more to the story, but I can't recall it at the moment.

Battery? Maybe I should get a rectangular tower shield to strap across my back with a lightning bolt emblazoned down the center.

Just don't go comparing me to no hyperactive pink stuffed bunny playing the cymbals...

But the bunny is so cute and cuddly.

On a side note and a little off topic... it is a bummer Detroit lost game 7 tonight :\ . But it was a great game to watch.

Hey everyone! I'm back!

Had a great trip, though it's nice to be home. I think I've about caught up with all of your posts. It's nice to see you all hard at work on your characters while I was away.

First order of business, a Rogue's Gallery thread. It'll be up very soon.

 

[Krauss von Espy]

I have a question I've been meaning to ask, Krauss von Espy -

I would like to have Kenneth be . . . extremely unwise. Considering you requested 32-point buy, would it be possible to have his Wis less than 8, and distribute those points with the rest of his abilities on a one-for-one basis? If not, I will go ahead and just take the penalty.

I'd rather not start monkeying with the point buy formula, frankly. I'd advise just leaving Kenneth's WIS score as an 8. You can feel free to role-play him as 'extremely unwise' with that score.
