OoC:The Sceptre of Kings:A Heroic Dwarven Quest

[Thels]

Oh my, you must really love doing that. Going over all the followers like that. So oneof my followers is now walking around in Full Plate as well?

Looks great Uriel

Yeah, I play miniatures wargames (Chronopia,Warzone,Confrontation and the games workshop ones if I HAVE to...). I usually name all of my troops in the first three games, 15 to 30 guys per. That way I can get really belligerant when they die 'Damn it, Dave! You kiled Rothgar Greyhelm with that friggin Ogre Maurader! Now you are REALLY gonna get it...'

Etc...

Storí stands 4'4" tall, an average height for his race.

If you actually use the rules from the PHB, 4'5" is the largest you can get. Now this doesn't influence much, but it gives you a good idea about how tall races are on average, and how much they weight. So Storí is very long for his race, not of average height (either that, or he's not 4'4" ).

EDIT: I wonder... Maybe I should buy the 2nd Tusker anyhow and have Gurin Fordswright be mounted, seeing as he's more or less the commander of my little army 'twould make him look cool.

Argh! I'm still alive, sorry. I've been busy last week and I had missed the damn IC thread. I'll post soonish.

Posted the final version of Storí to the Rogues' Gallery thread. I've specialized him in Divination, and he's now equipped and has a full spell selection.

Well spotted. I'd added up as if feet and inches were metric...

According to Races of Faerun the shield dwarves are a bit taller than their gold dwarf cousins. I dont remember the exact height ranges as my book is at home. But my character is towards the high end if I remember correctly and he is at 4'8".

 

[Uriel]

Though I said use faerun as a default, I don't mind a bit of fudging/grey area for sizes.
Frankly, I prefer a more 'Middle Earth' size range, with some dwarves almost approaching 5' and the Elves actually being tall .

No biggie, though.

Xael it's ok, I noticed that your Arcane might game was on hiatus. I sort of figured that RL had caught up with you for a bit.
That is the beauty of these boards, we don't all have to be there all of the time.

Jarval, the rumour for 3.5 according to the Revisins is that Specialization prohibits 2 Schools now, not 1.
Personally, every mage I make is a Diviner with Necromancy prohibited, since I think that those are the only Gain/Loss pairing that is viable (just my opinion, I like a variety, and necromancy isn't a big deal as a loss...although i do like Enervation).
Anyways, have a look at the revision thread

and see what it says about Specialization.

 

[Thels]

Diviners only have to pick one school as banned, since divination doesn't count up towards the other schools (you can't ban it either).

For the length, it would just make sense that someone who is of average height is a little shorter than those that are of impressive height.

for metric <-> imperial, this usually get's close enough:

1 inch = 2.5 centimeter
1 feet = 30 centimeter

Could you tell me if this is allowable or off limit? I need to know how much gold the prince will have personally (250 less, as I'd sell the wand of healing to buy the tusker. A tusker sounds more heroic than a wand of healing).
