Recruiting for Solo 4E (mostly) homebrew campaign: Arca Terra

[FloatingDisc]

Seriously, that was ing awesome.

Barastav is perfect! He's everything I hoped he would be and more. I had an image of him wielding a spear, and having some minor magical ability. I love the scene of the phalanx battle in the corridor, and his epiphany with (presumably) Moradin.

Braydz's Eyes Only
[sblock] I have a plan for introducing your character which the last bit you wrote fits perfectly. Tell me if you like it and we'll go with it. Basically, when Barastav sits down to wait (for a sign or whatever), decades pass, and he slowly becomes overgrown with lichen, moss, fungi, etc. The other PC, Corrin the halfling paladin, will come across Barastav's mysterious form, and attempts to wake the torino. So let me know what you think, and we'll get him in the action!

One other thing: Is he going to be wielding a greatsword one-handed? Does he have a feat or is it a warforged feature or something? [/sblock]

Sounds great. That's about what I was thinking too. It's also nice to know that I had about the same chronology as you, with decades passing.

The Greatsword was a bad on my part; somehow I missed that it was in fact in the 2-Handed list, like I thought it should've been. I was intending for him to use it one-handed, which wouldn't have worked (although I personally think that Warforged should be able to take 'Oversized' as a Feat [see Minotaur racial features]). See my above edit note.

I'm excited about the character but not in any rush.

 

[FloatingDisc]

I don't mind if you want to take Oversized as a feat, I agree it makes sense for a warforged to have access to it. I really like that you've taken the multiclass feat though. It's up to you of course, you're free to use either. I will hopefully get to introduce Barastav really soon, possibly over the weekend but more likely on Monday, as I'm about to introduce another PC, and I expect the play speed to dramatically drop off :/

FloatingDisc,

When you get to it, and if you are indeed recruiting for your game(s?), could you please do me a favor and remove (or authorize me to edit your first post) to show that recruitment is closed?

It just helps keep the forum originated. (Especially with what I assume will be a large influx of players looking to try out 4th edition.)

Oh I was just throwing an idea out there for the race in general, not my character. I'm perfectly happy with Barastav the way he is.

Background suggestion for Thalak (Warlock Lord)

Warlock Lord's Eyes Only
[sblock]I've got a couple of ideas for how we can use the existing background story you wrote for Thalak and still fit it in to the campaign. We need to get it done ASAP because the other PC is about to meet you, and there needs to be a little bit of explaining done!

Things Corrin Reedson (the PC) knows so far:

1) Thalak is an ally of of the revolution, at least in some sense.

2) He is living (perhaps temporarily) in the slums of Lacerda City, on the far shore amongst the fishermen and eel hunters.

That's about it, so I don't see any reason why Thalak can't be a diplomat sent by the Autarch, as you suggested. But perhaps he's already completed his mission, and has decided to stay in Lacerda for the season (for whatever reason, you decide). Perhaps he's staying in an inn, his room filled with wooden cages filled with monkey , complaining bitterly about the heat, the stink, the filthy Lacerdans and their customs, etc etc. I don't mind how you'd like to portray him, but I thought Autumn Lord Thalak of the Court of the Omnipotent Autarch was hilarious with his complaining ;]

Anyway, when you get a chance, could you finalise these things, basically so I can just have Corrin Reedson rock up at whever Thalak is staying, and have you two introduce yourselves, and let the madness ensue from there!

Spoiler: Dm eyes only

Basically, he's complaining. About everything. Especially the ****, ******, ********* monkeys. One of his life's dreams is to kill all the monkeys. He wishes he had never heard of monkeys. If someone says "monkey" one more time...

The Autumn Lord is mostly a ceremonial position, with no real power (He doesn't do much during non-fall seasons). And he's currently out of favor at court at the moment (insulting the monarch's brother) so he got this assignment. As much as he complains now, his old life was boring and he had to put up with people he despises as morons. Thus, he's here.

Sorry it took me a while. Computer issues.
