Nice!

I suppose I should mention this tidbit for those of you working on a Backstory:

The game (for the new characters) starts out on a caravan that originated in the City-State of Yithorium and is headed to a once thriving but now somewhat dilapidated port town called Xambaala.

This all happens in the area known as the Zakath Desert region. So, you can be from Yithorium, or have traveled there from somewhere else for whatever reason.

All I need is a little why/how your character is in Yithorium from each of you. It doesn't need to be in any great detail, but you should know that I periodically like to use stuff I enjoy from PC's backgrounds, to liven up the action a little. (sorry shaidar) :lol:

Here are my rolls for Brunne:



Not too shabby!
Now I just need to figure out what to do with them.
I think I'm going to buy the 3rd edition pdf for $12. Not gonna drop the $50 for the hardback.

I’m having trouble viewing the sheets from my phone away from the house but I will get busy on them once I’m plugged in again.

If anyone is in need of the 3E rules and has an extra 12 bucks, here’s the link.

Same here, since at least a week ago. Could be some "mobile version thing.

Hit points at first level?
I rolled a "1" :lol:
Which is fine. I didn't see anything from Ogre Mage, so I was wondering...

Also, after reading through the various races and such, I decided upon a Kelt Druid. That means I won't get any CLW's until 2nd level...BUT...I'll have a shit-ton of Goodberries for those wounded ;)

Max HP +Con bonus for level 1. Or you could go hardcore with 1HP. :D

Khalid looks great and can be posted in the Sheets thread at your leisure.

Are you seeing your Private Threads, tpj?

They should be located just above these threads on the main page.

I want to make sure everyone can use them before we get started.

Glad to be here and see all the familiar faces. :D

What is the general makeup of the group? I see a bard, warlock, druid, pyro, fighter, purloiner, death soldier, and scout. And maybe others. I was trying not to step on someone's toes, but that may not be easy.

Also, do we have a general alignment, or is it free for all?

Drest's alignment is A-Hole. He is actually loyal to his companions just tells it like it is and doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Of course having a 3 Charisma doesn't help.

You mean it's not balanced, game mechanics/strategy wise?
