Hey, my guy's fat. I might triple their salary to act as a decoy, just so I can get away.Sure you can. However, at the start of this adventure you are being chased by a thousand angry natives. So, you would have to triple their salary to keep them from fleeing.

If you post an image for you character with your character sheet I will use it to make an icon for the maps. If you want something different or want me to choose please let me know.

I got nothing. Feel free to improvise on my behalf.If you post an image for you character with your character sheet I will use it to make an icon for the maps. If you want something different or want me to choose please let me know.
Re: Character Creation
No preference for me either.
On a side note, tomorrow I leave for a business trip overseas and will have sporadic internet until Monday. I should be able to have regular access through Thurday, then be on and off until Friday again.

Re: Character Creation
Have you good folks had some trouble using the Character Form for multi-class PCs? I cannot successfully create the ratio, i.e. 4/3 in the form.

Re: Character Creation
Where do you find the height and weight info (assuming you roll for it)? or do you just make that up? Thanks.

Re: Character Creation
I just made mine up. I wanted a fairly tall, overweight character. Human beings come in all shapes in sizes and it doesn't have a mechanical impact unless you get ridiculously large or small, so I figured what the heck. *shrug*Where do you find the height and weight info (assuming you roll for it)? or do you just make that up? Thanks

Apparently it does not accept anything but numbers and tolerates no spaces.angelicdoctor wrote:Have you good folks had some trouble using the Character Form for multi-class PCs? I cannot successfully create the ratio, i.e. 4/3 in the form.
My suggestion is expressing 4/3 as 403.
Age is on page 12-13 of DMGSlighted wrote:Where do you find the height and weight info (assuming you roll for it)? or do you just make that up? Thanks.
Height/Weight is on page 102 of DMG
Both can also be found on page 31 of OSRIC v2.2
Re: Character Creation
Have you tried just writing out "Fighter 1 Thief 1" (or what the class combo is)? Not sure if that works or you have enough space...maybe just F1 T1?
Just thinking out loud....

Re: Character Creation
I believe that I did try something similar to that. I just posted an all text version. No worries.

Re: Character Creation
Do you recommend I utilize Weapon Specialization (from UA) or avoid it?
Re: Character Creation
Are you playing a Fighter or Ranger? I don't think Paladins have the ability to use Weapon Specialization...but I might be wrong...(I'm at work and the book is at home).
I DEFINITELY recommend it. It eats up a lot of Proficency Slots....but it's worth it!
(My 2 cents, anyway!)

Re: Character Creation
To Hit bonuses, extra damage and extra attacks?
What is there to "avoid" from Weapon Specialization?

Re: Character Creation
Disregard the first part of my last post...I see now that you're playing a Fighter....sorry, I mixed you up with onlyme who is playing a Paladin....sorry both of you!
(I'm an idiot.... )
YES....I recommend Weapon Specialization....if you take a Bow, at 5th level you have 2 more slots; with a X-bow or Melee weapon, you have 3 extra slots.

Re: Character Creation
I didn't know if there was an in-game downside or OOC complications for a new guy, but I'll take it!
Re: Character Creation
The only real "downside" is that it eats up more than 1 weapon proficiency (3 for a bow).....this can really suck for 1st level Fighters (and DEFINITELY for 1st level Rangers who want to be bad-ass bowmen)....but once you get a 5th weapon proficency or 4th for a Ranger; it's not bad.
And the advantages are great! The only thing that was always a pain the ass for me as a DM was the strange 3/2 or 5/2 attacks....but that's probably because I have a lousy memory for that kind of thing!

Re: Character Creation
Yeah making it up is fine as long as it is reasonable (no 12' tall humans). If you want guidance or want to leave it to the dice the tables are on pg 102 of the DMG.Slighted wrote:Where do you find the height and weight info (assuming you roll for it)? or do you just make that up? Thanks.
Re: Character Creation
The major down side is that you are proficient with fewer weapons, thus you have less of a chance at getting a magic weapon that you can use with out a penalty. However, the bonuses you get for the specialization balance that out...at least until you find that Sword of Sharpness and it turns out to be a type you are not proficient with.Slighted wrote:I didn't know if there was an in-game downside or OOC complications for a new guy, but I'll take it!
Re: Character Creation
Ok most of you are ready to go. Slighted and Angelicdoctor still have to finish up but we can get started and they will just be "extras" in the background until they finish.
So I'm planning on starting the game tomorrow!
Go to the In Game thread read the intro and feel free to start posting. Intro your characters and get to know each other before the action starts !
