The Fall of Brodhurst OOC and Character Gen (Full)

[John E Smoke]

Alright, this is the aptly titled OOC/Character generation thread for The Fall of Brodhurst, a decidely vile game that I shall begin running shortly. We're full up to start (though I may be convinced to allow one more to join; plan on plenty of begging, crying, and whining, or at least a really great character concept to sway me).

From the initial thread:

I'll go with 10th level, 28 point buy for stats, use the even-odd set hp progression in the DMG, standard starting funds to buy your goodies.

In addition to the core books, I've got access to: Savage Species, Book of Vile Darkness, Book of Exalted Deeds (cough, cough), and The Complete Warrior. Plenty of the older strictly 3.0 books as well.

The setting is going to be a generic one, and if there's going to be any clerical nastiness, I'd prefer not to use the Greyhawk deities in the D&D books. Never liked them, really. Demon princes and Archdukes are still fair game, however. Tomorrow I'll have a few example gods for everybody to be aware of laid out.

More details later. You've got free reign as far as backgrounds go. Make up places and people as you wish.

Edit: By the way, what really tickles my keister right now is darker fantasy. Stuff like Elric, or the Warhammer Fantasy world, where nobody's terribly happy, for example. If you're at all familiar with Berserk, that's going to be a major inspiration for some of the imagery. Just with more magic to accomodate the D&D, of course.

Edit 2.0: Oh yeah, and much of the action is going to be taking place in a city. Non-standard races will be allowed, but it would be most helpful for everybody to at least pass for human/demihuman.

Edit 3.0: Here's our players:

Goddess FallenAngel
Endur
Velmont
Wippit Guud
KingOfChaos
yangnome

Alternates:
None currently (?)

 

[Velmont]

I want to play a Sorcerer for that game. I don't know yet if I will add a PrC to him, I will see if something would do a good concept.

 

[KingOfChaos]

Playing a wizard here Definately looking into prestige classes that'll fit the concept.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

hmmm..... I am torn between a half-fiend rogue and one of the clerical-type PrCs from BoVD.... *choices, choices*

 

[KingOfChaos]

I was thinking about playing a conjurer with a few levels of either Alienist or Thaumaturgist thrown in to make the character more flavorful.

I am gonna crack the ol' BoVD to see if they have any sort of conjurer PrCs available...and the only one they have is the demonologist. Blerg.

Hey John, can I write up a PrC for my character? I am a D20 writer, so I can write a balanced class

 

[John E Smoke]

If you have a pretty solid concept of what you want, then sure, give it a go.

 

[Wippit Guud]

Well, with everyone taking spellcasters, I'll go with Plan B, a half-ogre hexblade/dragon disciple, assuming that's alright John...

... lets see, obese feat, that puts him around, oh, 1300 lbs....

 

[Thels]

I dunno what you're planning on Leadership, but if you need a cohort for an evil player, drop me a note

I don't think I'm up for playing a non-cohort evil char right now, and besides, you're full.

 

[Wippit Guud]

Ok, character concept time.

We're going with a half-ogre Hexblade 5/Dragon Disciple 4 by the name of Occam. Occam is, among other things, a cannibal, and feels that in order to gain some of the power from his kills, he must ingest part of them. In fact, that's how the dragon disciple power manifested within him, he managed to kill a young dragon and eat its heart (still deciding on what color).

In the past, Occam was an accomplished cook, and ran a prestigious tavern in <town yet to be named>, where he served unheard-of exotic dishes. He also had a very discreat service with the local assassin's guild on the side, for when they needed to dispose of a body in the most thorough way possible. Those few who knew of that service called it the "Special of the Day." They also never ate at his tavern.

Eventually, Occam was found out, and sentenced to life in prison, where they put him on a strict diet. Not more than 24 hours passed before he went insane, caused a riot which breached the walls, and got away. he's since roamed the land, killing and eating where he can.

Stats should be up later this evening when I'm at home to write him up.

 

[Velmont]

I will go with a shadow adept PrC from Fearun campaign setting. I should make my character for tommorow.
