Recruiting: Rowaini Musketeers--One for All and All for One!

[Rystil Arden]

Bahaha! Allright, I'll assume that's a big 'yes' then.

I'll erase my earlier post now, just in case. I don't think it's a BIG deal if someone read it, as long as not -everyone- did. These little character flavor secrets don't tend to last long anyway. They're just for fun.

I'll get approved and a stat roll going anon!

It's something of a genre cliche, which is why I put it on the list as an example. I certainly don't want more than one of these at the most, though, or it would be a bit hard to believe.

Most definitely. The clicheness of it almost made me not post the idea in the first place, in fact...but cliches are also part of what makes the genre a classic one.

Might as well qualify too...

Posting under the name Jacen.

Big 2!

It would seem odd if a lackey had one of the more powerful classes. If you wanted to be a lackey, one idea is that you could be the same level and have the same stats but be a PHB base class like Bard instead.

Seems fair with me. I buy that. If there is a player that want to have a lackey, tell me, and we will speak a bit about it so I can tweak my character to fit with the personality of teh master character.

For now, let's roll that d20 with Hyacinthe (I doubt I'll give him a fmaily name, he is only a commoner.) 19... good omen?

Oh, there's something I forgot to mention about really lower class Rowaini (since this hasn't come up yet and I think I may have forgotten it at some point). They can sacrifice the +4 racial bonus to Charisma to pick up the usual human Bonus Feat and skill points--Rowaini commoners aren't commanding and beautiful like the nobles, but they pick up unusual skills and talents on the street because they have to in order to survive. For a Bard, this may not be something you want to do, but the offer is available. You're approved to roll Hyacinthe's stats.

Doh. I forgot that edits don't alert the thread.

Reposting qualifier. Same roll and all. Just moving it to where it can be seen more easily.

Name is Jacen. Roll is DEUX

Alrighty then. The 2 doesn't hurt you or anything, and you're good to roll stats!

Hyacinthe stats are here. At the edge of being desesperate, but ti is not. A good reason to see why he is simply a lackey and not an hero.

So stats are 16, 15, 13, 11, 11, 11, 8

 

[Shayuri]

Ahem. My luck with Invisible Castle seems to have changed. I'll take this one.

4d6.takeHighest(3)-> [5,3,2] = (10)
4d6.takeHighest(3)-> [6,6,5] = (17)
4d6.takeHighest(3)-> [6,6,2] = (14)
4d6.takeHighest(3)-> [6,5,5] = (16)
4d6.takeHighest(3)-> [4,4,4] = (12)
4d6.takeHighest(3)-> [6,6,5] = (17)
4d6.takeHighest(3)-> [5,3,3] = (11)

Dropping the 10 of course.

Ah, yes, on the edge indeed! Your set of 16 15 13 11 11 11 8 (drop the 8) is barely better than the worse possible non-hopeless roll (15 15 12 10 10 10 8). The only differences are that all the evens except the 8 are odds, and the high stat is a 16 rather than a 15.

That works. Oh, I suppose I haven't given enough specifics to go any further though. The Rowaini Musketeers will start at level 3 (the Level Three Musketeers!), which, with the advantage of the special Rowaini classes, will make them quite powerful compared to your average varlet.
