Song of the Deep - OOC

[Ferrix]

Any comments Chauzu?

I had thoughts for my strongheart halfling of maybe using the old apprentice level rules to better reflect some of his upbringing. Going Apprentice Ranger/Fighter (targeteer Dragon#310). He'd then become a ranger 1/fighter 1 when he gains a level. That okay with you?

So many ECL +1 characters running around, givin' me a headache of little +1's. Oh yeah, Feral template scary powerful.

Are Humans out of the question? LOL

Here is a basic character sketch I was thinking about:

Rett Raynald
A true scoundrel and swashbuckler at heart, Raynald enjoys three things in life: wine, women, and song. Whenever possible, Rett pursues one of those three great loves. Raynald hails from Waterdeep, and has lived in the great city most of his life.

While he was raised to the age of 14 in a rural farming community (a fact he conceals from all but his closest friends), Raynald knew he was destined for a more exciting life and moved to Waterdeep as soon as he could manage it. Rett arrived in Waterdeep knowing no one, with three copper pieces in his pocket. The yound Raynald excelled in pickpocketing and busking for coin in the wealthy districts, and eventually found his way into the local thieves' guild. Along the way, the boy also learned street-fighting, and even picked up a few more refined combat skills.

Rett is now well known on the tavern circuit as a roguish personality and sometimes thief, but mostly a good-hearted guy with an ounce of skill and a ton of determination and panache.

Game Bits
He would be a Human Rogue. I know that the FRCS has some special regional feats and equipment, so if someone could let me know of any of those sort of things from Waterdeep that might apply to a Rogue, that would be cool. Otherwise, I would take stuff from the standard books. I am fine with the DM rolling ability scores for me.

DM, how do you want us to submit finished characters?

 

[Chauzu]

One question about regional equipment. Would it be possible to upgrade a masterwork longsword to a masterwork bastard sword (the favored weapon of Eilistraee, and certainly the kind of weapon she will have learned to fight with)?

Looks good, Thanee. I don't think it'll be a problem with the mw bastard sword. Go ahead and use it.

Ory Willowfarthing - Stoutheart Halfling Fighter: Ory is an outback halfling, often wearing a broadbrimmed hat and looking much of the backwater farmer type. He is a happy fellow, although never taking up his fathers trade of farming, although he's a sharp learner, he put a lot of his wit into perfecting the halfling habit of throwing stones. Naive when it comes to city folk, he is straightforward and prefers a handshake to the wordiness of others. He often carries with him a sling and halfling skiprocks which he finds so enjoyable to flip like coins. (rolled stats)

I like Ory as well, Ferrix. Will you use him? Here is what I rolled for stats: 17, 14, 13, 13, 11, 9.

COOL! I take it that I will have to follow the quoted "penalties" above? No prob if so, just making sure. Any suggestions as to which one. Personally, I leaning towards Pottofer, even though A'yira is the child of my all time favorite character.

EDIT: Unless there is an issue with him otherwise, I think I will play Pottofer...

Potofer it is.

Aren Bluebeard - human sorceror - Aren grew up as the second son of
a farmer in Featherdale. He was a disappointment to his father as he was
not very strong and somewhat of a klutz.

Upon reaching puberty, Aren's facial hair started to grow in blue. This scared
his father, and since he didn't like Aren anyway, he kicked Aren out on his
own.

As Aren journeyed throughout the Dales, he took oddjobs to earn money
for food. On occasion he would have a period of enlightenment where he
would suddenly know some new power. These strange new powers and his
blue beard made him question his parentage. He talks to anyone with
blue facial hair in hopes of learning more about himself.

I like this character as well, Lefferts. Good for a back-story.

Chauzu - Do you want us to post our finished characters here, or are you going to do a rogue's gallery?

I'm going to do a rogues gallery soon.

Ghostwise Halfling Druid
In case there are too many ECL shifts going around, this guy can be who I play.

Ogden Pathfinder learned the ways of his father, the tribe shaman who advised the chief and lead the people spiritually. Ogden’s tribe wandered the harsh northern lands for ages when they finally came upon Chondalwood, where they settled, at least as much as the nomadic tribe could settle.

When Ogden came of age, he was unable to find his “totem” and was sent on a “spirit quest” in which he had to leave the tribe until such time that the Great Spirit bestowed her blessing upon him and granted him his totem so that he could take over for his father as Shaman.

With a great heaviness in his heart, Ogden set out on his journey wondering what deeds he would have to perform to prove his worth.

Ogden it is.

Are Humans out of the question? LOL

Here is a basic character sketch I was thinking about_:

Ha, humans certainly aren't. However, we already have a rogue character. Perhaps you can think of another class for a human?

These character concepts are good so far folks. I like them a lot.

So far we've got:
The Other Librarian - Human Rogue
Ununnilium - Human Sorcerer
Thanee - Half-Drow Favored Soul
Ferrix - Stoutheart Halfling Fighter
Ashy - Water Genasi Cleric
Lefferts - Human Sorcerer
Vendetta - Ghostwise Halfling Druid

One more player is needed. What I am looking for is one more warrior-type character, possibly a Barbarian or Ranger.

I'll get back to you on that. I'll have to look up those apprentice rules since I haven't used them yet.

Solonir Kel'Alar
A rash and proud young elf, who never backs out from a challenge, Solonir is the epitome of over-confidence. He grew up in the elven community of Semberholme, near the great lake Sember. Even as a young elf he always wanted to go to war against the drow and other monsters, who lurk in the forests of Cormanthyr.

Unfortunately such young and foolhardy man wasn't allowed in the elven military. Solonir was disappointed and shocked and decided to leave the elven lands, where his skills were not appreciated. He traveled to the neighboring Kingdom of Cormyr and became a mercenary. He served as a guardian to some wealthy merchant, until he heard about the troubles in Wheloon and decided to investigate.

He hopes to return home someday, when he has learned more and became more powerful. Solonir hopes to master both sword and spell, turning warfare and magic into an artform, like only the elves can. There's no doubt in his mind, that he couldn't succeed and be accepted in the Bladesingers, who serve as the honored guardians of his home forest.
-------

So an elven fighter/wizard coming up. Maybe a ranger/wizard even, if that's what the party needs. The DM can roll my stats.

 

[Ferrix]

You pick two classes, one as your primary.

You get the primaries skill points and hit die.

A good save gets reduced to +1, poor saves are left at +0. You get part of the first level abilities.

Apprentice Fighter gets BAB +0, Fort +1, Refl/Will +0, bonus feat
Apprentice Ranger gets BAB +0, Fort +1, Refl +1 (changed to reflect the good reflex save in the 3.5 ranger), Will +0, Favored Enemy

Then when I'd level up, I'd get the full benefits of both classes.

 

[deadestdai]

Well, I get here too late, but I'd love to be signed on as an alt puh-lease?

I noticed that the party is sadly lacking in the hacking and bashing area (Haven't seen a group with so many divine casters in a L-O-N-G time! ) so I have a Shield dwarf fighter in mind.

McGrathery the Stout Shield Dwarf Fighter lvl.1

McGrathery was a young dwarf with a wanderlust that his peers and friends could not fathom nor understand. He was also a great fan of the culinary arts. Well, at least of "enjoying" the dishes that could be created. A fair cook himself, he soon both mastered and tired of his clan's kitchen recipe's and decided with a vigor only his youth and grumbling stomach could fuel, he left his family halls to search out new and tastier dishes to fall upon and kitchen secrets to learn.

(O, he also hates orcs and kills them on sight.)

The end.

 

[Furtive Noise]

Ack, a new game starting up and I'm too late. Well, if you need an alternate I'm available; I've never played-by-post before but would like to give it a try. I was thinking of making a human fighter heading towards Purple Dragon knight, seeing how the game starts in Cormyr, kind of a young soldier type. So if you do end up needing a replacement or spare person, let me know.

 

[Ununnilium]

Aasimar Paladin

*Nice* character concept. Amazing level of detail. >.>v

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, kewlies.

Well, this guy pretty much would have to be a rogue. I'll just come up with another character concept.
