[Pyrex]

According to the title there's still one spot open, right?

Also according to my reading of the thread so far there is a Bard, Cleric, Rogue and Wizard. Right?

Assuming I've read correctly, I'd like to throw my hat in for the last open spot.

*ponders class*

Hmm, if I were to play a Druid would I (eventually) be wild-shaping into neo-skeletal-critters?

Other idea: If I were to play monk; my understanding is that when I do a full attack I can make unarmed attacks as normal then make two claw attacks at a -5 penalty as secondary attacks. Is that your understanding?

 

[Eluvan]

Hmmm. I've definitely spent at least one too many skill points, but do I not get my Int bonus on top of the skill points from the skeleton HD, thus bringing me up to 36?

Appearance: Tel is a very old, ancient even, elf. His bones are yellowed with age and cracked but have been reinforced with chains, clasps and rivets of metal and parts of his family armour still remain tied to his body. He wields a long sword with a serrated, flanged blade, elven runes etched down the length of the blade. His favoured weapon though is the pitted spiked chain that he carries draped across his shoulders. Rotten boots cling tenaciously to his feet and bits of rotting cloth lace his body. He wears a cloak of midnight blue with gold trim, the cloak is stained and dirty but otherwise whole. A black scabbard for his sword hangs at his side and a smaller balde is strapped to his thigh. A heavy chain with a heavy gold pendant hangs around his neck, the cloak is clasped with an ebon crow.

Are there any spaces left in the party? If so, I would like in.

Tailspinner, pending a response, I'll work up a character; either a fighter, ranger, or barbarian.

Fingers crossed...

 

[WargamerX]

If there is space. I opted for a Barbarian, to add a little fighting weight to the party. Brak N'rgul or "Bonan" for a little (dark) humor.

I have a photo, but it's a file on my desktop, so any help in uploading it would be appreciated.

And if not yet taken, can I have red eyes?

Description: Bonan is nothing more than a tall set of white bleached human bones when he arises. A palm sized hole in his cranium leaves no doubt as to his cause of death. This is quickly covered by his horned "Norman" style helmet. The helmet was either knocked from his head before his death or replaced after as it seems intact. Another possible replacement is his shield, white and fashioned in the shape of a skull. Other than his armor, weapons, and gear it wears no other clothing having lost interest in human effectations.

Personality: Bonan is hard to read, even for a skeleton. It does not feel compelled to share it's thoughts with those who meet it. It is however, utterly ruthless and driven in its own self interests. It's goals are pursued with little care for life or unlife (other than its own, of course). Whether morality played any part in Bonan's character while alive is unknown, that it does not in it's unlife is.

Hi Tailspinner, I posted the completed PC stat wise above, I still need to work out his personality and background. Speaking background is there any clues as to the world setting or is this homebrew and we can just make what ever up?

Cheers

Tailspinner,

Just want to throw my hat in the ring for a slot in this game - looks like some real fun! Or maybe as an alternate - as it looks like Pyrex and WargamerX have beaten me to it.

But it is unlikely that you want two players from the same city in a faraway place. Gidday D20Gazza <waves> (and just for record, D20Gazza and I don't know one another)
