Sharn: Beneath The Towers OOC [FULL]

[Two-Gun Kid]

I didn't put a bio up for Coal, as I wanted to see if anyone wanted to go in with a joint venture. Coal was constructed for fighting, and was trained by his dwarven "fathers" in the refined arts of sword fighting to be a house protector/bodyguard. After the war was over, Coal's roots ran too deep to believe that he was no longer required to serve the house/master who bought him, as he had pledged his life to protecting it/them.

Perhaps he could be the bodyguard to one of the chars? Especially if that char is from a particular house.

 

[saethone]

still any spots open for this? I'd be interested

I could work with you on this. Sounds like a cool idea. I'm not that keen on playing a dwarf though, mind if I go with a different race? I'm tossing around the idea of playing a warlock or something else arcane in nature.

 

[Two-Gun Kid]

Any race is fine, as I was just trying to imply that he was made and trained by dwarves and then sold/given to his primary house/house hold.

 

[Harvey]

Glad to see such quick interest! So far, I have:

Definites:
1) Tyrlaan
2) Two-Gun Kid -- Coal, Warforged Samurai

(working together on a backstory is a great idea!)

Dibs on the last 4 spots go to:
3) Vargo
4) D'Arc DeWinter
5) khavren
6) tailspinner

(I would like to get rolling relatively quickly, so if I do not get a character by end-of-day saturday, then I will be giving up your spot to an alternate)

Alternate spots to:
1) P0L -- Fixer, Warforged Articifer
2) IcyCool
3) saethone

*sighs*

The warforged slowly stands up and leaves the table...

- Well, I'll be around if you need a hand... be sure to stop by Fixer´s shop if you need a potion or a scroll. I´m having a 10% discount opening sale.

Fixer draws from a pouch in his leather apron and hands Harvey a small calling card. It glows faintly blue and reads:

-----------------------------------------------​

"Fixer´s Magic"​

Custom Potions & Scrolls​

​

​

​

Level 35, Arondal Tower, Deathgate​

------------------------------------------------​

With a shrug, the warforged walks to another table where a group is planning to form an adventuring party
- Maybe I can get work here....

This is what I have right now - I have an interesting little backstory planned, but haven't had much time to write it up. Druids can be a pain in the arse to stat up for some reason... Synopsis: Orphan human raised by Elves, but trained by Orcish druids...

Although I think I already know the answer to this, I've gotta ask. Under "animal companions," it says that you can take a "dog" as an animal companion - is this a regular "dog" or a "dog, riding"? I'm guessing a regular "dog", but wouldn't argue with being able to take a riding dog...

Everyone
All PCs can add to their inventory "Standard Identification Papers" (see pg. 122 of the Eberron Campaign Setting) at 0 cost. For those who wish ID papers with a portrait, they can pay the incremental cost for it (3 gp).

Two-Gun Kid
Some corrections for Coal:
-- XP at 1st level should be 1,000
-- Reflex save should be +1, not +0 (+1 dex)
-- Starting gold should be 1050, not 1140 (150 for samurai + 900 for 1st level)
-- Whetstone is 2 cp and 1 lb, not 5 cp and 0 lb
-- Weight for the Wakizashi is 3 lbs, not 4 lbs (using stats from Oriental Adventures)
Other notes:
-- Your masterwork swords creates an unusual dilemma. Since you are starting at second level, I have no problem with you receiving a "daisho" for free... however, they are masterwork. So, I am going to assume you pay for the masterwork portion of the items alone. This means your total spending for your character is 607 gp, 2 cp, giving you 442 gp, 9 sp, 8 cp left.
-- Normally, you can't have Dwarven as a bonus language because Warforged receive no bonus languages. However, this seems pretty unfair, since you do have the +1 mod for Int, and especially because you worked it into your backstory. So, consider it approved.
-- Also, can you note somewhere (maybe under Armor), the Adamantine Armor's damage reduction?

Don't walk away too quickly... so far, all the PbP games I've started have been missing one of the starting characters... you should check back soon to see if you move to starter...

You bring up some interesting points/questions, Vargo. FYI I plan on running the entire first two adventures in Sharn, so being a druid is going to be a bit harder than most woodland campaigns. Don't mean to discourage you, but it does offer a challenge! Bringing a dog around might raise a few eyebrows, especially in more upper-scale areas, but it'd be much more subtle than a camel Also, a riding dog is a listed possibility for an animal companion, so you can choose either. However, I'd go with riding dog, given all the gear you've got!

I wasn´t walking away, Fixer is just minding his store for know, and keeping a close eye on any party that might need his skills
