[OOC] Turmoil in Ghelspad [Scarred Lands] (FULL 5/5)

[ferretguy]

Torillan...just a quick question...would it be acceptable to play a dark elf? Thinking about a rouge/monk(lawful neutral). Figured he got tired of the constant fighting with the dwarven nation....felt his god was going about things the wrong way so has left the dark elfen lands...

Do you want to start a character thread in Rogue's Gallery or have us post characters here?

I'm thinking of a Burok Torn Mountain Dwarf too, and giving him a family connection (if a player of another dwarf is willing) to one or more of the other dwarves (two PCs are currently considering them).

Somewhat of a misfit who did not learn his runes and did not fully fit into the lawful lifestyle Harl Gurrok is a brave berserker, not a disciplined warrior. He thought about joining the Iron Guard who patrol the mountain passes, but realized their lives were filled with too many restrictions for him and would not satisfy his wanderlust. When he heard his cousin was journeying outside the mountain Gurrok jumped at the chance to accompany him and see the world.

Harl would be a 3rd level barbarian with a rune covered Masterwork cold iron greatsword (his legacy item). Feats I was thinking of Dodge and Spring Attack. Probably spend the majority of the rest of his money on good but light dwarven armor (is mithril available?)

Are Mountain dwarves racial package the same in CCR as in Burok Torn? I have BT but have not read through it thoroughly.

Well lets see, Soleril Quilserve had spent the beginnings of his life like any dark elf of the underdark of the Kelder mountain region: doing his part to bring the dwarfs of Burok Torn to their knees for his God (as his priests would speak of the great betrayal). After many years of using his skills to aid ambushing these stubborn beings, he one day met a dwarf who changed his life.This dwarf singlehandedly beat a dark elf patrol only using a old deeply worn quarterstaff (and knocked him out as he tried to stick him from behind...). He was awakened by a rough boot to the side from what he thought was a great warrior, was instead an old dwarf in robes.


Will add to this later...just that Character learns from this old Dwarf that there is more to life then the war their 2 races...and learns the way of the monk from this venerable dwarf. Carries his masters quarterstaff as he was killed fighting against titanspawn in the underdark.

Sorry I haven't posted for a bit. I worked a 14 hour shift in the ER last night and I'm nursing a head cold to boot.

Actually, I kinda like the idea. I like the backstory, too. This is giving me some good adventure ideas. Say, how did Dear Old Dad feel about him leaving the homestead................(insert insane maniacal laughter )

There are a couple if new items between the two books. Use to info in BT with the following additions/changes:

Weapon Familiarity: treat dwarven waraxes and urgoshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic

Stability: +4 to resist bull-rush or tripping while standing on ground (ie. both feet planted)

+4 dodge bonus against giant type (Huge or larger)

+2 attack roll if another dwarf is within 5 feet

Bonus languages: Draconic, any non-secret (instead of any titanspawn)

Hope that helps

Posting of Characters

I've started a thread in Rogues Gallery, so go ahead when your ready and post them there. Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with! So far so good!

(Aside: the fact that a dwarf and a dark elf are in the same group will allow me to present some really GOOD role-playing opportunities, just for a heads up. My goal is not to kill you guys off, but try to make it as fun as possible).

What are your rules for items that we have the craft feats for? As a wizard, I've got Scribe Scroll free, and can't see anything else worth spending my cash on.

Quick question, I know you tagged this thread as a 3.0 rules game, but I thought that the revised creature collection was 3.5 rules. So I just wanted to clarify which rule set we were using. Also what other sources do you accept?

I'm thinking of a halfling druid as my character. I'll have more details when I get home tonight, I've been out of town this weekend.

Good point. I'm going to rule that if you invest in a craft feat (or inherent it from a class), you may go ahead and create what you need. Let me know what you end up with (given starting cash) and I'll give a final ruling. Anything within reason will be OK.
