I can't stress this enough, but this simply makes my blood boil. This is NOT Lord of the Rings! In AD&D, Elves are TINY! They don't come that big. The biggest of elves are barely over 5 feet tall. This is almost as bad as that one guy who has a 6'6" half-Elf. Read the Description: "Elves are SHORTER and SLIMMER than normal Humans."

If you want someone that big, get a Human. Otherwise, you are pretty much limited to the 4'5"-5'0" range. Also, they only weigh about 50-100 lbs, but with the wings, maybe 140-150 should be acceptable.

Still, you need to rethink your dimensions, or your race.

Why are you so mad, for one you are the one with a 7ft 400pd behemoth of a character

But yes you are right, I'm not very educated in DnD.

This should work:

character profile: Bayne

height - 5,4
weight - 150

Granted, but 7ft is not nearly an uncommon in Humans as 5ft11 is in elves. I'd go as far as to say that 5ft11 is IMPOSSIBLE in elves, whereas there are hundreds of people who are over 7 ft tall.

It's not your size that pisses me off but the misconception that elves are that big. It's like people playing BG2 but taking their references from some ass-random fanfiction website that has nothing to do with BG2 and potrays elves as the humanoid twist on the giraffe. Either that or from LOTR, where elves are the same size as Humans.

Buzz Buzz!!!

I think we could go ahead and set a posting order, unless bayne wants to wait for some more people to join.

GL, I don't think all elves are that small. I don't know how big winged elves are but the most common high elves are small. I think its that either the wild elves, gold elves(or maybe gray elves) or wood elves that can get to around 5'11 and taller though.

Ok, looking through monstrous manual here:

High elves: Seldom over 50"', M 90-120 lbs, F 70-100 lbs.
Grey Elves: Unspecified
Wood Elves: Unspecified
Half-Elves: Up to 5'6" and 15 lbs
Aquatic Elves: 6'0"+ (Exception, as all aquatic animals are larger than land animals, see whale vs Elephant. Same applies to Dark animals over light animals, and cold animals over warm animals, like Polar bear vs Black bear.)
Drow: Seldom more than 5'0", F 95-120 lbs, M 80-110 lbs

Grey Elves and Wood Elves remain a possibility, but I still doubt they get THAT much bigger than generic Elves.

yes i do agree, hey anyone need artillery support? i can make a char that works wonders at a range.

It seems as if this story died out before it began. Sadly enogh, since I was really looking forward to writing about my char.

It would be fun to start again, but I am to busy now to write, but if anyone wants to revive this story, then i might just write a part here and there

Stanislav, the Fighter/Mage/Cleric casts >RESURRECTION<

Enjoy!

finally. I've been considering reviving the thread myself, but I wasn't sure if anyone would post, what with all the other threads. Between school and the other threads that I'm a part of, I won't always be able to post on this thread, but I'll post when I can.

okay, I've changed the name of my character, so she won't be confused with my character from New Story (they had the same age before). I've also changed her age, height, and weight.

I'm in on it, but not in the nearest future, but I would really like to write about my char.

I'm in. I join every board story I can.

one question; are we going to be using bayne's character? I haven't seen him for several months, so he's probably gone for good.

Another thing. I know I asked this before, but I'll go ahead and ask it again. In this, are bards going to be able to cast magic? And if so, what kind? Will they be able to use combative, or just defensive, or both? I know there are some versions of d&d where bards can use magic (or at least they can in some of the games I've played), and there are some versions where they can't.

I don't know how you would want it, but I based my guy off of BG2 spell selection. You could do that, in which case you get all Wizard spells until level 6. If you base it off IWD2, you get all Wizard spells until 8, and if you base it off of NWN, you get up to 6 again, but you also get cantrips, as well as healing spells.

You can also just design your own spell table, if you wish it.

I don't know, at this point, who is responsible for the story, but I, personally, have no problem against your bard using magic.
