Sterwick Campaign - Rule discussion and joining

[Kipi]

@Chus
Mmm... did I understand correctly that you are going to change it because of me? If that's the case, there is no need, but you can if you really want to. It's just that you have to create the whole character again, but I don't mind posting the change when you are ready.

@Ruscavo
I hope you read my previous post, cause it explains why I must at this point say that we are full. No offense meant, and if there comes a situation which allows new players, you will be on the top of the list. But till that, you are still free to post your ideas here, and discuss/help others.

Also, thanx to Ruscavo, I noticed that we don't have thief/rogue among us. I haven't planned to make my NPC as rogue, but no-one wants to accept that role, then I could make few arrangements and changes to my char.

[ruscavo]

Soz Kipi, I did read your post saying you were full. I didn't mean could I join, I was mearly asking Chus if he would like to adapt my char for his own use if he wanted to change from a ranger.

Maybe it wasn't clear. I would have loved to have joined but time constraints would be my enermy, so I couldn't. Just trying to help thing go smoothly tis all!

[Kipi]

@Ruscavo

Well, I could also have understood wrong what you meant. So no problem on that thing

As Kythras pointed out, your character is somewhat a copy of Sh'rarn, the character of Ravager. Is this just coincident, or have you used Rav's character as model while creating?
As Kythras also pointed in her post, or it can at least read from there between lines, there is no point to make two more or less similiar characters. That would ruin the enthuasism, unless the whole group consist such characters, which our party is not. Your character just won't fit in the party, due the similiarity with Sh'rarn.

Also, I must confess, that I wasn't sure at the beginning if I should allow you to join the campaign. The reason is NOT personal, or anything such, but just the thing that before you, we had already five players, plus NPC controlled by me and making the sixth member of the group. My campaign is basically balanced to 5-6 characters, but I eventually decided that you can join, it won't make that much difference if we have 6 or 7 players.

So, I'm not saying that you are not allowed to stay in our campaign, far from it. But I would request that, to be allowed to keep yourself with our campaign, you make little more effort. Take a look of the character sheets in the Character sheet/files -thread. There you can see how well others have used the possibilities and diversity the world of D&D allows. So, instead of creating another Aasimar Palladin, I would hope you try to make character more personal.

At this point, I would make this clear to everybody:
While this game is more or less process of learning, to me and to most of you too, I would still hope that [everybody] is serious when we have those sessions. If you aren't, then there is possibility that the whole thing will collapse, it being more likek chatting place that game. There is other threads for that, including this one, where you can discuss Out of Character, where you can get familiar with each other and so on. But, I would be happy if everybody will be serious while playing, no doing stupid things that ruins the game for those who actually try to be serious, or keep talking OOC all the time during sessions.

I know the above may not, and I even hope it won't happen, but I still saw it important enough to mention at this point.

Thank you, the DM will get silent, but only till comments are needed again

Yes this is all new to me so I was not sure on what to do I did not know on how I should go about on creating a character so I used Rav's as a model, sorry If I affended anyone...I dont think anyone was on when I did this so I couldnt ask for help...Ill try to contact Rav and see if he can walk me through this...I hope he wont think Im slowing him down...like I said Im new to this...its not very easy to find people who like playing this kind of stuff over here....there usually hiding...no serious. So again Im sorry.

[Ravager]

I'm happy to help you .
And personally, I didn't know if you were new to it or not.

[slade]

Alright thanks Rav,so like I said I would like to be a fighter now what information do I need to fill out now?

hey Rav where did you go?

[Ravager]

Right, choose a race you want your character to be from the list...

The race you choose will affect the statistics you rolled.

hey Rav where did you go?

Sorry, the computer was just going slowly.

[slade]

I would choose a half-elf.....can you explain what a save throw is....I have also heard it on KotOR.

[Ravager]

You get a save (saving) throw whether you're character is trying to avoid the effect of something, say the full damage of a spell- you would need a die roll of 15 for example to 'save', if you got that or higher, you would end up less damaged or not poisioned etc.

Right, using the numbers you rolled yesterday...

14
16
16
10
12
15

Those need to go into STR (ength), CON (stitution), DEX(terity), (WIS)dom, INT(elligence) and CHA(risma). I'd recommend for a Fighter, the highest numbers go into STR and CON and the lowest go into CHA and WIS. So 16 STR + 16 CON, 10 WIS, 12 CHA, 14 INT and 15 DEX

I'll just type up some more stuff for it.

So I have seven skills:climb,craft,handle animal,intimidate,swim,jump,and ride...right... now all I have to do is add points(total of 16 to spare)to the ones I want correct?

Climb:1
Craft:2
Handle Animal:3
Indimate:2
Swim:2
Jump:3
Ride:3

Before I fill this out one question remember about the prestige class question?....Could my choices here affect any prestige class I may want to advance to in the future if thats possible?

[Ravager]

Yeah, you have 16 points to divide between them and I'll add the bonuses on top for you once you've done that (each of the skills gets a small bonus from your stats) .

It's possible, if you want to, read through that class list and see the requirements, though I would personally avoid it for now. Multi-classing into a prestige class is a long way away.
