Wanted: Players for OSRIC sandbox PbP. . .

[jdrakeh]

Excellent, thanks, I've added to Ravana. All I need now are languages (I'll wait to see what other players make) and starting gold for equipment. Should I roll for first level HP?

Ah, yes, roll for HP. None of this new-fangled "max hit points"

 

[InVinoVeritas]

HP (1d6=6)

Says you.

Starting Money (2d6=12)

I guess the petty thievery did pay off after all...

Character finished.

Good news! It looks like Henricus/Henry will be joining up, too. As soon as I hear back from Steve or Anastobe, we can start playing. Also, InVino, one quick question — how did you end up with six weapon proficiencies at first level? Per OSRIC 2.0, the Assassin class is only afforded three proficiency slots at first level and one additional slot every four levels.

 

[Henry]

STR 9, DEX 11, CON 10, INT 7, WIS 9, CHA 8

YEESH!

OK, so...
STR 11 (minor tests 2 in 6, major tests 2%)
DEX 7 (no adjustments)
CON 9 (70% resurrect, 65% sys shock)
INT 10 (2 additional languages)
WIS 9 (no adjustments)
CHA 8 (3 max henchment, -5% loyalty)

Name: Alamar
Class: Fighter
AC: 4 (Chain hauberk, small shield)
hp:3 (wonderful) Roll Lookup
starting funds: 140gp Roll Lookup
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Culture: Bhamotin (This should be good...)
Languages: Bhamoti, Cerulean, Rizeeli
Weapons: Short bow, Longsword(Specialized), hand axe, dagger (cultural weapons Broad Sword, Long Sword, Pike)

Equipment:Chain Hauberk, small shield, Longsword, short bow, 20 arrows, bedroll, backpack,

One question: Are you allowing weapon specialization from OSRIC? I doubt it'll stop this guy from dying, but it might help.

Are you allowing weapon specialization from OSRIC?

Yes!

From the rules on your website:

Character Culture

All human characters in the Perilous Lands hail from a specific culture in the World Between, either barbaric or civilized. If you are playing a human, choose the culture from which your character hails in the Powers & Perils Culture Book. After you have chosen your culture, examine the section near the back of the Culture Book (beginning on page 63) that details the Common Weapons of your chosen culture. Make a note of these weapons — your character will not suffer a non-proficiency penalty when wielding them.

For the Cerulean Empire, that's Scimitar, Spear, Light and Medium Bows, which I turned into the Short Bow. Should I change this?

Ah, it was the presentation that threw me! Brain fart!

No, absolutely fine. Could you break them (i.e., cultural weapons) off like Henry did? I'll clarify on the site.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Done.

 

[jdrakeh]

Done.

Thank you! Also, I think we may have a third player now (though not the one I expected) so we should be off and running very shortly.

I made a quick update to the site regarding alignment languages. To summarize, since OSRIC does not explicitly assume the use of alignment languages by PCs, you can (if you choose) substitute a cultural language for your character's alignment language. This will not count against your available bonus languages.
