(Almost) Anything Goes

[dmw71]

This is basically a free-for-all thread... just keep it respectful.

[dmw71]

Is it wrong that this game has the second most topics (19) out of any game hosted here on the website... and it was launched less than 24 hours ago?

None of the actual "adventure" threads have been created yet so that number will only keep growing.

I think it just gives an interesting insight into your personality - borderline OCD, perfectionist etc etc - so only stuff we already know about you!

Guilty as charged.

... borderline OCD, perfectionist etc etc - ...

What does it say about me that an old Madonna song popped into my head when I read this?

You just keep on pushing my love, over the borderline...

No, you're safe. LOL

So... With just the information posted so far, does anyone have any ideas about what they want to play?

I'm fairly flexible, though if I had to pick least favourite classes, it would magic-users and clerics. But at least I'd play them. Don't think I'd ever intentionally roll up a paladin or an illusionist.

The cavalier, or paladin if the latter's rules change enough to make it preferable.

[Computer +1]

I dont know what I want to play.

I find that I usually stay away from clerics or magic users so I may want to play one or the other to stretch myself.
Or a druid could be fun.

I often think about how classic it would be to play a paladin, but these days I think always being lawful good may be too restrictive.

I dont know......

I will be a human something.

[Stonjuz]

I've already created partial halfling mage/thief and im past the point of no-return on changing it now.

Just a quick FYI... the Paladin will remain a sub-class of the Fighter (not Cavalier) and will remain largely unchanged from what appears in the 1E PHB (pages 22-24).

Even without the details on either class posted yet?

Elven Druid/Mage, Human Barbarian or Cleric/Thief of a yet to be determined race are my current thoughts.

I guess I should roll some numbers and see what happens.

[dmw71]

Nuke66, your rolls have been moved to the 'Character Sheets' thread.

[dmw71]

Non-Human: [1d4] = 3 [1d4] = 4 [1d4] = 1 [1d4] = 2 [1d4] = 4
Non-Human: [1d4] = 4 [1d4] = 3 [1d4] = 3 [1d4] = 4 [1d4] = 2
Human: [1d4] = 3

By the way, you should have one impressive character there!

[Nuke66]

Should be interesting...

H-Barbarian E-Druid/Mage Halfling C/T
STR . 18 10 10
INT . 10 12 10
WIS . 12 18 16
DEX . 18 18 18
CON . 17 12 18
CHA . 12 15 12


We will see.....I am flexible as well, and I want to see the class details.

[dmw71]

I want to see the class details.

I just added the details for the Fighter class and hope to have the Fighter sub-classes done shortly.

Class details havent been filled in yet of course...but im sure ive given the others enuff to know who Shannigans is (or will be). So unless dmw says magic users have to stand on one foot to cast, and that thieves require platinum tools and silver boots or something else crazy like that, he is set in race and class.

Barbarians hate magic users yes?, if we have a zealot barbarian in the group then the little guy may turn tail but other than that....

Unless the magic user is missing a leg, I think it's safe to assume they can use both legs when casting spell. As for Thieves, they will probably be the most heavily modified class (hopefully improved). Regular thieves tools will work just fine (but that doesn't mean that better quality and/or masterwork tools don't exist).

I am working on the Barbarian class as I write this, and the rule preventing them from associating with magic users is being relaxed a bit. The full details will be available shortly.

Ok I am going for a paladin. After playing a half orc with an attitude I want to try something totally different.
Either it will work or I will ruin another good characters soul.

Hey, nothing wrong with an ex-paladin fighter with a few character flaws!
