[QUOTE="Cyronax, post: 170846, member: 822"] [b]Enter Gorbag.....[/b] NOTE: I made all of my players create their characters using the Standard 25 Point Buy system outlined in the DMG. This allowed them to create characters without me present. They could lower their stats (starting at 8) and get points back on a 1:1 ratio. Gorbag: 1st Level Male Orc Fighter; CR 1; Medium Humanoid; HD 1d10; hp 12; Init +3; Spd. 30 ft; AC 17 (+4 armor, +3 Dex); Atk +5 melee, +4 ranged; Face/Reach 5 ft. by 5 ft./5ft.; AL N; SV Fort +4, Ref +5, Will -2; Str. 19, Dex. 16, Con. 14, Int. 6, Wis. 6, Cha. 7. Height: 6’4”, weight 290 lbs., age 18. Skills: Climb +7, Swim +5. Languages: Mytherian (Tsai-Nau Orc Dialect).* Feat: Cleave, Power Attack. Possessions: bastard sword, patched chain shirt, a traveler's outfit, and a sack. Background: Gorbag’s background is hard to discern. He’s largely unable to relate much about himself, but a few things are known for sure. He’s from the wild Tsai-Nau frontier and he’s seen his share of battles though he does not relish combat. Perhaps more on his background will follow. [I](::nudges:: Felix electronically)[/I] EDITED: :o Correspondence from Felix changed a few, actually a lot of things about Gorbag.
