If it happens, this would not be my first adventure by a long shot, but it would be my first PBP attempt. I'm not sure if that would cause trouble for the DM or players, but I want to be upfront about my lack of experience.
Thanks for consideration. Cheers.
As OM stated, thanks for the honesty and welcome to Unseen Servant.
Of course there are still openings in the game and you are more than welcome to join.

Stat your characters for second level.

But the same line works in the dice rolling sandbox. Guess I'll wait and try later?
FYI: This is a known issue. Basically, this message comes up when a roll is too long for the dice roller to record in the database (I think). Test rolls work okay because they aren't recorded in the database. The problem can usually be fixed by rolling fewer dice or making the dice roll text shorter.
Most notably: it's impossible to roll all six stats at once in the Unseen Servant dice roller (other than by using the "roll stats" function). Rolling stats three at a time usually works, though.

It's in each class description.

So between the four base classes, the world's my oyster. I may go fighter for survivability. Has anyone else picked class? Are we using weapon specialization?

I'm running a fighter with trident double specialization (if it's allowed)...

OSRIC doesn't include weapon specialization in its ruleset, as I recall. Which doesn't mean our DM doesn't have a house rule for it.

Weapon Specialization is an optional rule in OSRIC:
OSRIC Fighter Class Description wrote:Weapon Specialisation (optional): With the permission of the GM, weapon specialisation may be selected during character generation. If weapon specialisation is not selected during character generation, it remains forever unavailable to the character, barring some magical or divine intervention.
If weapon specialisation is in play, fighters may take a second proficiency in the same weapon as the first, granting them one extra attack every 2 rounds with the weapon (hence 3/2 attacks with a melee weapon at 1st level, 2/1 at 7th and 5/2 at 13th), +1 to hit and +2 damage owing to their skill. Specialisation costs one profi ciency “slot” for melee weapons and crossbows, and two “slots” for missile weapons other than crossbows.

Don't worry about the XP total at this time. I may be bumping everyone up to 3rd level depending on the total number of players we end up going with. The module is rated for 2-4 levels with 6-8 players.

Yes, weapon specialization is available to fighters.

Yes! It's been a real busy day today so I haven't had the chance to do anything with it. Hopefully I will be able to do some work tonight.

Now considering an elven fighter/magic-user. Am assuming can still cast spells in armor.

That would be a correct assumption.

Hello,
Are you still looking for another player? It sounds quite interesting!

I almost always run fighters but I'd like to try a cleric this time unless anyone else has their heart set on that class.

Of course. Plenty of room of another player.
To all, the forum is now open and everyone should have permission to post. Let me know if there are any problems.
