[OOC] The First Age of Man

[Shayuri]

Heya Vosa!

I think either you didn't catch the part where our beginning equipment was houseruled, or those house rules have changed from when I looked at them. You've got a loooooot more stuff than anyone could ever afford with them.

I'm curious about the background too. Was the tribe he got kicked out of the same as the tribe the PCs are starting with? Or has he recently joined the PC's tribe, similar to my character?

Vosa, starting equipment is houseruled, see below, anything that might be standard adventuring fare and highly simple to make can probably be thrown in. Bronze pieces are roughly worth a silver piece, some things are negotiable, the joys of not using a default setting. I like where the character is going though. I think we've just got to get your equipment worked out and whether or not your PC has already met with the local tribe.

Starting equipment: A simple (simple or martial, no exotic) weapons, simple armor (Leather, cloth or Hide), two simple treasure (non-magical, these can be items that you have scavenged or perhaps an heirloom – value not to exceed 10gp each, and GM discretion here), travelling clothes, 3 days worth of food, Vial of an herbal medicine (functions as cure light wounds), 3d4 bronze pieces, Waterskin, belt and backpack.

Ok, so I can't have all the weapons I have then. That could change stuff a bit. So its only one weapon, then I could use the two treasures to get weapons of less than 10gp? and then the 3d4 bronce pieces.
Did I got it right this time?
About Sheng being already in the tribe or not, I'm open to suggestions. The case would be similar to Shayuri's character. Perhaps the new tribe finds him? It would make for nice RP with the summoner, you know, she already being there.

You got it, the studded leather would also be brought down to typical Leather armor or Hide if you prefer. If you're taking extra weapons, the highest price one would be your starting weapon, which would be stone or whatever's practical for it. The extra weapons being treasures found on his travels, if you're giving up these spots for something expendable I'll allow for rusted metal there. Main difference being some extra damage they can withstand.

Great, so how does this sound:

Main weapon: Rusted metal scimitar
1st treasure: Kukri
2nd treasure: guisarme
I guess I can buy javalines with the bronze pieces, if not I get a sling.
I'll take hide armor.

Another wuestion: What about the shield? Do I need to expend a treasure in it?

Javelins can be purchased for a bronze a piece.

Shields, light wood for 3 bronze, heavy wood 7 bronze. It's nothing ornate, barely more than part of the tree shaped into a shield.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Rolling "wealth" for Sheng Serim: 8 bronze pieces. So that means the heavy shield and a javaline
Hope I don't have to throw more than one.

Updated character sheet!

Looks good Voda, add him to the Rogue's Gallery page when you can.

A couple comments for everyone:

The tribe (and most tribes) migrate(s) every three months with the seasons*. We will begin with the tribe in preparation for its next migration. I'd like to have an idea of where everyone is to start, so please answer whether or not your character is with the tribe to begin and how they were introduced to them if so.

I'll have the Obsidian Portal site ready tonight, which should expand on life in the Valley, which may provide some expansion for backgrounds. I've seen some good hooks from you guys so far, and I hope to do them justice.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Awesome, added.
As of where to start, I would like to begin alone and be found by the tribe, I grew fond with the idea, if its possible of course.
