(Recruiting) Kiss of Darkness--Adventure in my Homebrew Setting

[Rystil Arden]

If I join, is it ok if I use one of the sorceres from DnD for dummies. Just changing the name, background, some skills etc.
Cause this is my first time playing someone who can handle magic.

Sure, but since I don't have that book, you'll need to post your character here. And of course you're welcome to make little changes to the character too

 

[unleashed]

Thanks unleashed I'm relieved--I thought it might have been more. This way, I'll be able to keep over half of all applicants, yay!

Yes it certainly looked like it would be a lot more with over 300 posts already, guess there were a lot of questions...and I didn't even ask mine here.

If ~20 people each send 8 posts and I answer them, that's already enough

Ummm....no. I don't think the Atheistic Holiday Pirate-Ninja will be bringing me that one this year

 

[Rystil Arden]

chod, you can use (SBLOCK) your stuff here (/SBLOCK) with brackets instead of parentheses. If I typed it with brackets, you wouldn't see it

 

[Bront]

26 point buy, not unreasonable to just let in RA, or I could help him with rolled stats if you'd like. Easy to replace most things.

Wait, the D&D for dummies had your Sorcerer with a 13 Charisma? Ugh.

Wait, the D&D for dummies had your Sorcerer with a 13 Charisma? Ugh.

Oh I agree, it isn't overpowered--heck, it's the standard array. Indeed, I was also surprised that D&D for Dummies suggested 13 Cha, but I think they want you to have as few spells as possible for it to be simpler? They chose the minimum possible Charisma to be able to play to level 13 and still be able to cast all your spells on time (barely).
