You are all GODS!!

[Myth and Legend]

Hmm very interesting. When i said:

Plus, we rare roleplaying GODS for crying out loud! Why are we starting at what is effectively level 1 for a God? If i wanted to be in another slow level 1 game i'd just join that. PbP is slooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww by the time we get 40 character levels the Internet will be gone :/ Especially if HM wants to run this as a regular game and award chunks of XP every 15 days. Why don't we start ad Divine Rank 6 and 20 Character levels at least? For the sake of simplicity? This will not be a simple game by any means.

For character growth? This is good, but we are not trembling farmboys and zealous Paladins. These are GODS, they have vast knowledge, power, they sense things in the future that are related to their portfolio etc. The way we roleplay them will not change, everyone will be doing their best to roleplay something we can never really comprehend (IRL at least i think none of you are Gods). Making the characters weaker does not make sense in a God campaign.

Rathan your only reply was

If no one else will say it... I will and this is not to be rude... it's just the truth.... either get on board with the hybrid rules the DM wants to go with... or get off at the next station... and that's not just a comment for ML... but to anyone not happy with the DM's decision.... plain and simple...

interesting when something does not concern you directly you tell me to shut up or get out, but when your concept is hurt suddenly we get a long winded post that basically repeats mine.

For the record I hate Warlocks, not that I think they are broken (they are slightly more powerful than other classes), I just think they are boring. Which leads me to this:

Standard classes:
Barbarian
Bard - Helsilllyel
Cleric
Druid - The One and the Many
Fighter
Monk
Paladin
Ranger
Rogue
Sorcerer - Lavaria and Duretep
Wizard

And others I don't know off had. Also I need to ask because this is you all's game also but Would you all like to be the only Gods in the new world pantheon ( I think we have 8 players) or would you like me to round out with some NPCs??

HM

Very well than, I geuss I am stuck as a sorcerer or I could switch him over to become a wilder.

I think that you have a very biased view of warlocks since they can come from any outsider, the abilities have easily changable fluff, and can vary from a psychotic mad man wo goes from town to town burning and destroying to a suave and sophisticated noble man who uses his powers subtly and sparingly but that is neither here no there.

Another issue that I see arises with that class list, the cleric. Nothing about the cleric means anything anymore due to at will domains, it makes much of what the cleric does moot.

I think that we should start off with us being the only gods but after a while if we are lacking on some respect than we may add in a god who has heard of our new world and wishes to take his own stake in it.

For the record, Ubariya's class level is Horizon Walker. I like it; it seems to fit thematically ('Death walks all lands') but she is still very much a work in progress and I'm thinking of changing her class to rogue. If anyone has any input on the matter feel free to let me know what you think about it.

I personally don't see your god of death as a sneaky sort. I see meditation, thinking on the mysterys of life, and contemplating hwere the s0ouls of her realm will be going. I think monk might be a good idea, but i don't know your character like you do but monks do have Hide/Move Silently so you can steal stealth if you want.

just my two cents on the matter, although i might do a little bit of tweaking of my character and go monk but that is not set in stone.

Alright, we are all frustrated/annoyed/competitive about how long it is taking to get this game going but there is no need to start attacking one another. We all have differing opinions about what is good/effective in D&D and what is not. The very nture of this is meant to be able to get along and play a game where we create a world together through cooperation, not bickering.

HM is back and he will be going over all of the things that we have been saying so things will be getting done, this was not meant to make you look bad Sunking but the fact of the matter is that you can't really do much in the way of allowing/disallowing things without consensus with HM. So can we call truce, so everyone will hold they're tongues if hey have nothing constructive to say and we can all get to start this game quicker.

This isn't just directed at you Myth but everyone here (and i include myself into this).

Let's just try to get along, or at least fake it really well.

 

[Rathan]

I do believe I'm going to ignore ML's comments before I have more to say here than I need to....

All I have to say ML, is this thread is not the place to take little pot shots at people. If you have issue with me, we have Private Messages for a reason. I'd be more than happy to speak with you there if there's something you'd like to discuss, beyond that please leave you're personal issues with me at the door so to speak please.

On a lighter note, I like the idea of a few other Gods or Goddesses to play off of that are NPC in nature. It also allows a bit more conflict without it being PC on PC conflict. It will also allow you to fill in some aspects of our world creation (or destruction in my case heh) that might be missing

and secondly no badfeel i know i cant rule much before HM have carved me a rock saying thye commandmends, thats why i also mostly says things as my suggestion and oppinion (before going purple for official) becaus it wassent meant as rulings but my oppineion.

as for classes im Psion (the psionical eq of wiz) and im planning of going slayer (as if you diden't read in the BG) the later tacking some monk so at charekter lvl 50 (like if ever) im gonna lock somthing like this (if no big change commes) Outsider 20/Psion 20/ Slayer 10/ Monk 20 thats how i see sirion as a Greater God but lets see were this journy take us.

and frozen go wilder more psi in the world would be gooood.

as for other gods in the end its up to what you are planning, but my openion would be lets start as us (+ maybe max 1-2 npc gods) and the when its time later on bring fresh blod in or meed enemy gods!?!?

pleas let me know if you edit you god after this post

 

[Myth and Legend]

Well FM is right I acted childishly and I'm sorry you guys! I'll talk to Rathan in private, and won't bring up stuff like that here any more.

NPC Gods? Well this really depends, if HM thinks it will provide a better plot, than why not? Fact of the matter is, we are a very diverse group of beings as far as beliefs, powers and alignments are concerned. The only potential problem i can see is PCs allying with NPCs vs other PCs. For example, all the good Gods (some of which are NPCs) vs all the Evil ones (some of which are NPCs as well), instead of PCs vs NPCs.

 

[Sunking]

im gonna suggest that a tread is made were we can roleplay until it begins for real

were: in the gray mist
we have all answered the call and can introduse us self and specucalate about the great plan about it all (unless you have a grand opening planed HM) ofcourse no skill, spell or rule use in there.

So we can begin to interackt with one and other

Why: becaus we cant wait for this ship to take of

 

[Voda Vosa]

So much to reply to...

HM: If you have problems finding a challenge and if to place or not NPC gods, perhaps a confrontation among gods for the right to create the world is in order. Perhaps another posibility is that at world creation, titans spawn from the primal forces that were used to create the planet, and must be dealt with before creation can began.
Either of those two could lead to potentialy interesting quest, both linking the PCs against NPCs.

Glasseye: I like the horizon walker idea, I was thinking it myself. Alghouth a rouge could fit in nice too!

MyL and Rathan: Make love not war. :O

Sunking: About the sizes: A swarm is considered made of tiny individuals. So I sent an additional point to make them diminutive. If HM rules against it, I'll send an additional point.

About Items: I don't picture a swarm holding a staff... Nor a shambling mound. Perhaps I could enhance the natural attacks? Not sure how to handle this.

I second the Grey mist thingy, because I can't wait too!
