Interesting quirk about B/X vs. LL: While most plate and chain armor is cheaper in B/X than it is in LL (Chain: 40 vs 70, Plate: 60 vs. 450), leather is more expensive (20 vs. 6).

That is an odd one for sure. I am willing to pitch in some coin if need be. I have 13gp left.

Just a thought.

If folks wanted to play a more balanced party, I'd take a dim-witted mage. :)
Good idea. For a more balanced party i could be a more squishy fighter or dwarf.

Zhym that is interesting leather costs more in B/X but less in LL everything else armor wise is more in LL go figure. :roll:

Seeing that we’re just about all thieves, are you imposing any restrictions on alignment?

B/X alignments are on the single dimension of Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic. Any of those is fine. Just keep in mind that "Chaotic" doesn't mean "Evil" and I'm not really intersted in having PCs who act as if they're evil.

This is pretty bad, any chance of a reroll?

Stats: STR:5, INT:10, WIS:9, DEX:9, CON:11, CHR:8

I little better. I guess I'll go with a Cleric

Stats: CHR:8, WIS:13, INT:10, DEX:9, CON:11, STR:11

Money: [3d6x10] = 5x10 = 50

Hit Points: [1d6] = 2

I may just murder this character in the cradle, it would be a mercy as it won't last very long.

I find original and basic to be the most forgiving of bad scores. HP being the most important roll of all. The minimum HP that those 2 PC have is the biggest issue with them by far.

Fortunately, it doesn't take long to roll up new PCs.

Anyone have strong feelings about a magic user vs another halfling? My preference is the latter, but I would play a MU if that's what we need. (One of the dumber magic users in the land.)

Halflings & Thieves work for me forget the MU ;)

My vote would be for Halflings and Thieves (+ Cleric?) too. Who needs balance? A wacky unbalanced party sounds like way more fun! :D

Hey Zhym, thanks for letting me in...First time using the dice roller was...unforgiving.

STR: 10 ()
INT: 9 ()
WIS: 6 ()
DEX: 4 ()
CON:10 ()
CHR: 7 ()

As much as I hate to do so...can I petition for a re-roll?

Looking forward to this. Since i'm getting in a little later than everybody else, what is your time frame for getting this going?

Yes, feel free to take a mulligan on that.

People sure have gotten some crummy rolls.

I'm flexible on when we get started. Maybe later this week, if everyone is ready by then?
