Character Generation

[Tamerlaine]

The Campaign # is 967

We will be using the Labyrinth Lord Advanced Edition rules. For chargen purposes I will not be using any other supplements/resources than what is in the ruleset as I am unaware of any such material.

For Stats go to the Unseen Servant Dice Roller and roll 3d6 six times. Roll a second set and keep the best set. Assign to Taste -- If you want to assign them in order, go right ahead. Post your rolls here on this thread. I don’t like to audit player rolls but I occasionally will at random or when circumstances warrant. Only those rolls after this one are allowed.



Character Classes

No multiclassing.

No Assassins and no Monks. I look down unfavorably on Paladins and while I won’t stop anyone from playing one provided you have the prerequisites to play it, you must first convince me you are capable of playing the class properly.

Hit Points: Roll regularly for your class. Re-roll if your result is a 1 or 2.

This is all I have for now and it is enough to get you started.

Hey all, super excited!
Here are my rolls for my stats. Tamerlaine, are we allowed to place the numbers where we wish? Or is the first number strength, second number Dex, etc? Because I'd really love to play a magic-user, but if it's the latter, I'll probably go for a fighter.
Thanks

[3d6]=16, [3d6]=11, [3d6]=15, [3d6]=11, [3d6]=10, [3d6]=12

Made my initial 2 stat rolls as follows:


They both amount to approximately the same total, but I like the first set better.

I am also curious to know how scores must be attributed to abilities...

You get to roll twice for your stats, pick the set you want to keep. I amended my post above about placement of Stat scores.

Amended my initial post to clarify this.

[Mica]

Cool, ok, thanks!
It sounds like you want me to post both sets.
So I was trying to figure out how macros work, and for my first set, I ended up rolling each stat one at a time. Then I got it figured out and rolled two more sets, but I disregarded the third roll. My apologies for the confusion and for rolling three times, but I'm new to macros. Won't happen again.
My first:

And my second (what I'm going with):

[Mica]

Damn I'm getting good rolls

[Spearmint]

Spearmint

My currently unnamed, unclassed character of unknown race.

Spearmint's LL character: starring abilities randomly assigned: 1st roll [3d6]=11[3d6]=11[3d6]=12[3d6]=4[3d6]=9[3d6]=9

Spearmint's LL character: starring abilities randomly assigned: 2nd roll [3d6]=12[3d6]=8[3d6]=5[3d6]=14[3d6]=15[3d6]=10

Edited: maybe I can squeeze a playable halfling fighter in that but with such low hp, don't actually expect much fighting from him.

Spiridon's starting hp [1d8]=2

[Spearmint]

Hello Tamerlaine.

I rolled the standard HD but the AEC offers an optional array. Are you using those and would you consider awarding max hp at 1st level?

[Spearmint]

Here is a first edit waiting for approval.

Spiridon. A halfling by race and Armourer by trade, he is up for adventure.

[Rusty Tincanne]

@ Mica: Most likely it will happen again. I have used the macro for a while and I just did this:



Here was go again. Unnamed, classless, raceless character:



Which is ridiculously the same. I'll take set 2 and make a cleric. Maybe a Lawful evil.

Oooh, that's rough

Tamerlaine, how do you handle infravision? Can elves just see in the dark or do they need a light source? For instance, when I'm DMing, I only give PCs with infravision the ability to detect movement and heat.

[Stirling]

Maybe a Lawful evil.

Really? You might find yourself adventuring alone.

[Stirling]

You describe the worship of certain deities who, as in the example of Syldina below, favour certain weapon types.

How does that align with LL AEC rules in cleric class which prohibits clerics using edged or pointed weapons such as a spear or bow?

Syldina (Timereach)
Demi-God (Heroine) of the Northern Wilderness
Neutral Good
Symbol: Spear with severed head of a man
Syldina appears as a tall, redheaded shield-maiden armed with a spear and a stoic gaze. Like Herne the Hunter, Syldina was a worshipper and the chosen of Silvanus in life. Upon sacrificing herself in a great battle against overwhelming odds, she was called upon to serve the Green Man in the afterlife. She champions the Northern Wilderness and its peoples. Archers, and those who hunt and range across the far forests of the Northern Reaches, also worship Syldina. Her symbol is a spear with feathers or the severed head of a man attached at the base.

Hello Tamerlaine.

I decided to have everyone re-roll 1s and 2s for starting HP, should they wish to. Amended the rule above.

Elves can only see in the dark above ground by using ambient light. Dwarves can only see variations in heat and movement, but with little detail. Does this work? I don’t want to get into the minutiae that been argued ad nauseum for decades.

Looks good. APPROVED

Fair question. I would just try to find a middle ground between the two and so I’ll rule that clerics of Syldina can use the spear in addition to those used by the class.

Perfect! Thanks

[Rusty Tincanne]

I rolled a background (Baker) and opted for Bormanis, instead.

Stirling, are you thinking of playing a cleric? If so which deity? (Despite my comment earlier, I was also looking at Syldana.)
