OOC (formerly Questions for the DMs)

Here.

[Bhart]

Whenever you feel your character is ready please post a big "WAITING FOR DM APPROVAL at the top of the sheet, so Ron and I know when to take a look at it.

[Stirling]

Hello guys and thankyou for the invitation to join Plan B! just reading from the forums that the DMs' expect plan A to go tits up, guess we'll have a few corpses to trample over then? Never played ToH so this is virgin territory for me! Ha Ha! Well with 600K xp to use I was going to roll up some Elven fighter/ thief. Will work on the 'dice of doom' for the stats and and just play what the fates give me!

Had some basic trouble logging on to the dice roller? Hopefully newbie teething troubles and I'll get it sorted to post up a suitable piece of party cannon fodder for our expedition on Friday am. Okay, looking forward to surviving at least the first level!!

[Alethan]

We are going to be in a separate game from Team A, Sterling. So we're going to get started as soon as everyone is ready with their character (and the DMs are ready, obviously).

Welcome to the party!

Don't get too attached to your character.

Cheers,

[Bhart]

Welcome Stirling! As Alethian said, we will be running both teams through ToH simultaneously. This will be a bit of a competition to see who makes it the farthest.

I look forward to seeing that character.

Good luck, you'll need it.

Am currently rolling up McCloud, 1/2 elven fighter/thief. If I can figure out the forum nuances and this darned computor I'll get it all ready for next week! Just rolled ability scores and fits in nice to dual class with no tweaking!! Do we need to change figures for race bonus and character age? Hopefully so and I'll do that before detailing his sheet.

I note the DMs' may role for a goodie bag of treasure for each character? Okay let me know what the 'gods' have divined and I'll put it in the inventory....heres' hoping for some AC blessing!!!

Yes please be sure to apply all racial and age adjustments to your abilities. Since the characters are high level in this game you can choose what age you want to be, no need to roll.

Take a look at the 'General Character creation' thread. There's a list of magic item packet numbers, claim one and I'll send your magic items.

How should clerical spells be determined? I found a post in the recruitment thread about magic user spells, but the instructions there don't really apply to clerics (for example, clerics don't have a minimum number of spells based on Int).

Ah the joy of clerics, all spells are open to you. There's a combined list I have up somewhere that has both PH and UA spells. But clerics pray for the spells they want from their god(s). No need for books or any such silliness. You choose the spells you want from everything listed, as long as they match the SPELLS USABLE BY CLASS AND LEVEL Chart in the Cleric description in the PH.

Can you tell I enjoy playing a cleric way more than an MU?

[Bhart]

Hmm I count only 5 people posting. Where are the rest of our players for party 2?

[Alethan]

Moved a bunch of posts out of the Character Thread so we can keep that thread just for people posting their character sheets.

Don't know if I've more or less OCD than others, but... I have OCD, nonetheless.

Magic items duly received! ooh thankyou a (Kilt!!) cloak of protection amongst other goodies! Hope it does more than keep my balls warm!!

just a question regarding HP. I am assuming (sorry if I missed the page for it in the other forums) that dual or multi-class characters will halve their hp for each level gained to balance their duality versus single class characters? eg 9th level fighter HP is 9 x d10 + 9 x con bonus but my 8th level fighter and 11th level thief is 8 x d10 + 8xcon bonus plus 11 x d6 + 11 x con bonus / 2 = hp... would average 50+HP instead of combined 100+.

Hope question makes sense, will hope to post up final character sheet tomorrow.

[rredmond]

Correct. Total them both, divide by 2.

[max_vale]

Actually, for Dual class humans.....I think you roll normally for HPs for the first class; and then don't gain additional HPs in the new class until/unless those levels then exceed the highest level of the initial class.

I.e. a Magic User who made it to 5th level and then decided to become a Fighter; keeps his HP total rolled as a MU until he reaches 6th level as a Fighter; at which point he would roll a d10 for HPs.

-The division of HPs by number of classes if for Multi-classed Demi-humans. In other words; a Half Orc Cleric/Thief at the time of character creation would roll a d8 for his Cleric class and divide the total by 2; then roll a d6 for his Thief class and divide the total by 2; and then add the results together. (So....for example, he rolls a 4 for his Cleric's d8 roll and a 6 for his Thief d6 roll. Cut in half; this equals 2 and 3; combined this equals 5; so the character starts with 5 HPs).

Later, when gaining a level; he rolls the classes' Hit Die and divides by 2. (To continue the example above; the character reaches 2nd level in Thief before reaching 2nd level in Cleric. He would then roll a d6; and let's say he rolls a 2. He then divides this by 2; and adds the resulting 1 to his total of 5 for a new total of 6 HPs).

I might be mistaken; I'm currently at work and can't check the books; but I believe this is how this works.

[rredmond]

Shoot you are right Max. I didn't read it all. Averaging the hit points is just for multi class, not dual class.

[Stirling]

thought as much otherwise he'd potentially have as much HP as Acerack? Okay will do the maths and roll up some HP. McCloud is 1/2 elven but with no con bonus.

I thought only humans could dual class and only demihumans could multi-class. At least in 1e rules, anyway.

[max_vale]

Yep; that is correct.....I just went with the lengthy explanation as the question had both terms; I wasn't sure if he was asking about both; but I decided to go ahead with the "too much" is better than "not enough". My apologies if this was the wrong assumption!
