[OOC] The Hivemind In Character!

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I think I'll better bow out of this; all I'm accomplishing is unnecessarily delaying y'all anyway.

Sorry to here that, but may well make some lemonade! GAME ON!!

 

[randomling]

Okay.

I think I'll better bow out of this; all I'm accomplishing is unnecessarily delaying y'all anyway.

Aaah! Go off for a couple of days and suddenly you're haemorraghing players!

Darkness, if you still want to play, I'm going to say no multiclassing back into monk after you've taken levels of something else. Once I've got my head on straight there will be certain orders that allow you to multiclass out of monk and paladin, but that's going to take a bit of time. Sorry.

And sorry for taking so long to tell you!

My apologies, randomling. Ya know, from what some of the others recently said in this thread, I thought I was delaying the whole thing for all of you - and I really don't want to spoil y'all's fun, so I figured... *shrug* Anyway - my bad.

Okay. In this case, I'll better do something that involves less headaches for you.

How about this: I start out as a Rog/Ftr (rather than as a Rog/Mnk) and delay my Mnk levels until some later point.

human Rog1/Ftr1; AL LG; Str 15, Dex 17, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 17, Cha 14.

Maybe I'll progress kinda along the following lines:
(Level 1: Rog1)
Level 2: Rog1/Ftr1
Level 3: Rog2/Ftr1
Level 4: Rog3/Ftr1
Level 5: Rog3/Ftr1/Mnk1
(Exact details may vary, depending on what I experience in the campaign. Also, another level of Ftr is likely as well...)

Further, I'm aiming for Shadowdancer if the class exists IYC.

Heh. See, I want to (and be able to, too) act kinda like Batman, if you haven't already guessed from my alignment and class preferences. (Only without the technical stuff, butler, and millionaire playboy schtick, that is. And for that matter, I'm not yet sure what gender my character'll be.)
Which probably puts me with Crothian's Pal and similar characters, of course.

So... This is what I'd need, rules-wise. Aye or nay?

And sorry for taking so long to tell you!

It's all good.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Good to have you back in the mix, darkness, or should i call you batman?

 

[Horacio]

I could always change my kobold's name to robin then...

 

[Crothian]

Good to have Darkness back. You should know better then tom listen to us, especially when we complain. We just jive people for the fun of it, it's what friends do.

Very true...

The problem is that now I can put out of my mind the image of my kobold wearing a red spandex suit and a small mask, screaming to Darkness' caped crusade:

Flying Orcish Pies, Batman! It seems the bad guys have followed us!

 

[Dragongirl]

Garyh, don't let Piratecat catch you posting your HUGE sig so many times in a thread, he will turn CE on your backside.

 

[randomling]

Hey guys!

Darkness, cool, welcome back! That sounds fine (though you will need to find a monastery to train you in the ways of monkishness - in a big city that won't be a problem, don't worry).

Actually, Jeph, that reminds me of a concern I wanted to raise with you about your character:

[I don't really want Serai's monk level to represent any chi/monastery silliness. It's just a way of creating a swashbuckler: less armor, more perception, adaptability, and speed. As far as I'm concerned, the background is completely Ranger (If that's okay with you).]

Should have got back to you on this a lot earlier (sorry! end of term, too much in my head), but IMC, monastic training will have to be done at the very least with another monk, if not in an actual monastery. If you're a monk, you've trained as a monk somehow - and gained some affinity with ki and probably an allegiance with a monastery somewhere.

If you want to work that into your background, I'm more than happy. But if your background is completely Ranger, then I think your class levels should probably reflect that. Hope that's OK with you.

(Um, if that makes you mad, email me your ire!)

Looking forward to this, guys!

Good to see that Darkness didn't drop out.
