Shades of Netheril (Forgotten Realms) (268)

characters

Ok, so far all characters are acceptable, except jemal's. Jemal just has to redo his character with 40 points instead of 55 and all problems are solved.

I will warn you all now that I plan on making this a fairly high magic campaign, and that i will be fudging with XP because the level advancement system of 3rd ed. just ticks me off. I will also be a little easier than the rules allow on multi-classing because it is ridiculously weak as is. There may be some other house rules I'm using, but I can't think of any of the important ones right now (other than stating spells memorized/known before you begin adventuring)

 

[Jemal]

hmm...
Fgtr2
Rngr1/fgtr1
Brb1/Src1
Cleric2

We should be good as long as we don't find any traps. Of course, without a rogue, we won't be "Finding" traps as much as they'll be "Finding" us.

 

[Felvon Tavor]

traps

hmm.... well, you have a high hp fighter and a cleric, trap problem solved

 

[Capellan]

hmm...
Fgtr2
Rngr1/fgtr1
Brb1/Src1
Cleric2

We should be good as long as we don't find any traps. Of course, without a rogue, we won't be "Finding" traps as much as they'll be "Finding" us.

At least we have plenty of hit points to soak up the results of being found!

And maybe we can persuade Uriel to take some levels in Rogue. After all, Jasper will be in light armour all the time anyway

well goodbye for tonight

[Felvon Tavor]

errr

Well, you can see i'm tired from the degeneration of the writing, sorry about that. Night night

 

[reapersaurus]

Just a couple opinions:

a party of 4 is awful small in a PbP adventure: the likelihood of 1 or 2 of them gone or unavailable to post when you need them to is incredibly high.

Since you're new to the boards, and the players don't have any bg on you and your styles, could you go into a bit of how you're planning on running it?

a) How fast of pace? How often do you anticipate posting and moving the story along? Will you wait for all players to post before moving on, or a majority, or one?
b) Will you be using mapping?
c) How will combat run? With initiative, etc?
d) How long do you anticipate the game might run? Very few PbP's actually finish - do you have months committed to see it thru?

I'm sure therte's many more, but these things work best when they are discussed ahead of time before jumping into the game.

Wish you the best of luck in this unique gaming medium.

Arcanra was born a simple elf in Cormanthor. Not happy with living in the forests, he decided that seeing the world and exploring the secrets that Faerun had to offer would be far more exciting. Not interested in magic per se, but interested in divine mysteries, he was drawn to the worship of Sehanine, for she reveals the mysteries along life's path to only those who are capable of unlocking the doors and opening the veils that she places before you in the road. Such it was, when he announced to his parents that he was travelling. Not only travelling, but going to spend time among the other races and cultures, in an attempt so see what Sehanine has in store for him. Unusual for an elf, Arcanra is not aloof in his dealings with others, but his worship of Sehanine and her cryptic way of passing on information to her followers has rubbed off on Arcanra, and he occasionally lapses into cryptic speech that is slow and deliberate.
