Well. Some days you just never know what God will toss at you. I had something pretty major come my way today and not in a good way, but it looks like maybe the worst is over for now. Thought I'd catch my breath and de-stress by answering a few of your questions.
Druid wildshape. I want to play that as described in the 3.5 PHB, which states that the ability functions like
polymorph but then it lists a few differences. So...yeah...like polymorph, not like alternate form. Let me know if there are still specific questions regarding wildshape.
Regarding Phud, there's nothing wrong with him weighing 400 lbs. I personally would say that a 400# guy who is 6'10" is on the fat side of that height, but, again, his name is Phud after all.
If you wanted a more muscular character with more brawn than pudge, I would go with 325 to 350 lbs. But, again, it's kosher either way.
Strahd, did you give yourself extra point buy points when you reduced your Charisma to 4? I'm having trouble making your ability score buy add up to 32.
pallandrome, it's nice to see someone picking a language from the homebrew choices. Thank you for correcting your ability scores. I saw that this morning but had to let it go because it was way too early and I couldn't be sure I was thinking straight, plus I was on a mad dash to get out of the house on time. And, big as he is, I'm pretty sure Phud has more diginity than to be taught to sick, sit, stay, fetch, and attack.
Though Tailspinner will correct me if I'm wrong...
Malvoisin, what I have is just the alphabets for all my homebrew languages and the PHB languages. I don't, however, have a lexicon. You should therefore feel free to make up whatever orcish words you like for your character.
hafrogman, that is indeed a very considerate background. You seem to be playing with words lately. "That night, I dreamed." and "I am not that son." That's prime use of brief interjection for dramatic differentiation and highlight. What domains are you leaning toward taking?
Comments for Rhun, Argent Silvermage, and Kularian forthcoming...time for me to eat a late supper and attend to some household chores. I'll return in a couple hours, though.
Thanks, you guys.
