[OOC] The Hivemind In Character!

[randomling]

Thanks!! You didn't mention them specifically, but would you allow a Hobgoblin?

And don't worry, I'll take it easy on you. And if you need any PbP protocol info explained, I'm your man.

Do Hobgoblins have an ECL? What are their ability score modifiers/abilities? I don't have my books on me right now! Do you have a class in mind?

General note: if you want to play a "savage race", you should bear in mind that even in Oashi (which is as cosmopolitan as it gets) you're going to be in the minority and treated with quite some distrust by people who aren't a member of your race. An orc paladin, for instance, will either be a loner, a paladin of Brocem (god of outcasts) or have had to prove himself quite considerably in the eyes of his order.

But you knew most of that anyway!

I say some options for setting, was one finalized? How about character generation, how would you like that done?

Everyone seemed to like the Oashi setting.

Character gen is 5d6 and drop the two lowest.

Is everyone OK with 2nd level?

Officially, they have been errata'd to ECL +1, though most people think this is too high.

They get Dex +2, Con +2, Darkvision 60 ft., a +4 racial bonus to Move Silently checks and a favored class of Fighter.

I've decided on being a Human Sorcerer.

That sounds great. What other gods do you have? I'm looking for one that deals with the individual, places the rights of the individual as important as the rights of the whole. Hopefully somone who embraces all races and gives everyone a chance to thrive in the way best suited for them.

What about wealth? Standard for 2nd level?

I started a thread in Rogues Gallery to place the characters. It can be found here:

Really sounds like Brocem is going to be your guy, then. LG. He is a champion of the rights of outcasts, pariahs and exiles, and a firm believer in extinguishing prejudice on any basis. He's most strongly opposed to Manaira, who, though also LG, is strongly opposed to the races that live underground. She's a sun goddess...

The paladins of Brocem are a fairly ragtag bunch with a slightly different code of honour to those of other LG faiths. I have to go now but I'll fill you in tomorrow!

Thanks. I'll create the character and post him in the rogues gallery for your approval. Time to go threaten my dice and make them work for me.

I was thinking about a Hobgoblin monk, but was not aware they'd been errata'd to +1 ECL. (I'm relatively up to speed with online stuff compared to the "common D&D player," but was not aware of that. One more reason I'll be buying the Revised Core Rulebooks. ) If that's what you'll be going with, I'll come up with something else. But if you don't ECL them, I'll stick with the Hobgoblin monk.

Level 2 is good for me. Although i'm still debating exactly what to do with my character. I'll probably have a stronger feal after i get stats rolled.

I can definately say he'll be dwarven and have at least 1 fighter level.
