[OOC Thread] Delving the Mists (seeking recruits!)

[Telsar]

Question for everyone...
Where would you prefer to live in the city? Apartment...house...barracks...etc. Since you will all be employed one way or another by the police department I will simply garnish whatever wage you are given based on what living space you choose. I'm asking this so when I create a map I can give PCs places to live on it.

A roomy apartment sounds good, something my dread companion "Perspie" can fly around in a little, and fly out of easily, perhaps with a skylight. Probably something as nice as I can get and still be close to the seedier elements of town, taverns and gambling dens and such.

 

[Salzorin]

Yep... they get focus and spec for free.. it's a pretty sweet deal.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Pyrex:
Yes, nice feats for free, I couldn't resist.

Cerebus:
I would go with the house, as she would need more room than an apartment, due to her gathering of books, and all kinds of odds and ends in her possession. Should I note the charge on her character sheet, as I believe that would cost 1000gp for a small house as such. Or are you charging a monthly fee?

I also was wondering if Daggers count as knives? That's what my character bought, and modified the description to show them as scalpels.

Thanks for the help...

I haven't found rules for them anywhere else...
The closest thing to them that I can think of is the straight razor listed in the Ravenloft PHB. Only difference in it to a dagger is that it's critical threat is 20/x3 instead of 19-20/x2 and they can't be thrown...

Opinions from people on what stats to use? I'm leaning towards the straight razor stats because I don't see anyone throwing a scalpel all that effectively.

Also Fangor don't worry about the cost of the house. It won't be anything too spectacular so I can just garnish the wage you receive each month to rent it...as owning it would be too expensive.

 

[Salzorin]

Disregard

 

[Gramcrackered]

I'd go with the straight razors. Makes more sense.

Housing: Presumably, there's some sort of communial guard barracks or something. Orum'd be staying there.
If there isn't...well...*shrug*
Just a random, small rented apartment. No frills.

Edit: Blasted double posting.

 

[Salzorin]

Just posted my new character. Appearance and Background will be in within a few hours.

Finally got the hang of most of the main functions in this drawing program, so I threw up some drafts of several blocks of the city. Just navigate yourself to my tripod website:

<myusername>.tripod.com

I've put a basic webpage up that links to the maps and gives em a quick description. I don't have that many labels up for the buildings yet because I haven't decided exactly what to put where...but it gives you an idea of your immediate surroundings. Keep in mind that this is only a portion of the city, I will add new sections when we've explored something fully enough to warrant it.

 

[Salzorin]

Appearance, Background and even a short Personality description are all up. Whew, now I'm not being a hold-up to the game anymore.... *knock on wood*
