A place for skullduggery, flimflammery, haberdashery, je ne sais quoi and all manner of baseless chatter.

[shaidar]

Hey all.

So I guess if we are trying out this game we should give all the different races a try.

[shaidar]

So I've made some stat rolls and I think my two characters will be a human wizard and a goblin (or elf) Thief (or fighter).

I've progressed further with the Wizard and have the sheet done apart from gear.

[Rex]

I am in.

Not sure yet what I am going to run but will probably have some time to work on it Saturday.

[Rex]

Got the stat rolls.

First one is a classic Rex character.
Str [3d6]=11 Dex [3d6]=16 Con [3d6]=5 Int [3d6]=9 Wis [3d6]=7 Chr [3d6]=7
Goblin Thief?

Much better.
Str [3d6]=12 Dex [3d6]=13 Con [3d6]=16 Int [3d6]=12 Wis [3d6]=7 Chr [3d6]=13
Dwarf Fighter?

[Rex]

#1
Background [1d20]=15
Goblin Thief Ranger.

#2
Background [1d20]=12
Dwarf Fighter Sailor.

[shaidar]

Nice

The rolls for the wizard were:

Stats: [3d6]=12;[3d6]=8;[3d6]=13;[3d6]=15;[3d6]=14;[3d6]=10;
Chirurgeon

For the other character the rolls were:

Stats: [3d6]=15;[3d6]=15;[3d6]=8;[3d6]=13;[3d6]=13;[3d6]=8;
Herbalist

I'm now going for an elvish cleric of Gede for the second character.

[beniliusbob]

Looks like some cool characters shaping up already!

[Rex]

Thief Talent [2d6]=9
+2 to Dex

Starting money [2d6x5]=12x5=60

PC 1 complete and posted.

Note there is no hp roll as his hp is a max of 1 per level (1d4 for thief -3 for Con penalty, minimum/maximum of 1).

[Rex]

first level hp with advantage [1d8]=7 [1d8]=5

7 (fighter) +2 (dwarf) +3 (Con 16) = 12 hp

Fighter Talent [2d6]=5
+1 to melee and ranged attacks

Starting money [2d6x5]=8x5=40

[shaidar]

I love it, Squish the 1hp goblin

Then again my elf priest only has 2hp

[Rex]

He also only ever gets 1 hp per level so I am not expecting him to last very long. He will be doing his best to stay out of melee. I am thinking he will be my first character.

[shaidar]

If you make it up a level you might luck out on his talent roll and be able to increase his con.

My priest is in a similar situation, so I'm trying my best to get his AC as high as possible.

[Rex]

I rolled a +2 to a stat but it didn't allow for Con. Even if it did it probably wouldn't have been worth it. He would still be -2 per level so 50% chance of 2hp at first level as we ware re-rolling 1's and 2's but only 25% chance at 2nd and beyond. At least with his 18 Dex (where I put the +2) he has better AC and + to hit with his crossbow.

[shaidar]

There is that, he's good at range, and not surprised.

Unfortunately my priest isn't so good at ranged hence the armour. Need to find money for a crossbow and better armour.

Question for the DM?

Do we know each other to start and can we pool funds?

Question for the DM?

Yes, we'll have the party start together. You're welcome to strategically utilize your money if you like!

EDIT: ...that's to say, you can pool your money between the four active characters (i.e. between players). Your backup characters will be in a holding pattern, to show up conveniently if there's an inconvenient death.

[Rex]

Thanks. That is what I was hoping for.

I am starting with Squish. He has 29gp and 7sp he is willing to pool to help the party. He is going to need some help and understanding when melee comes along (ie when he runs away).

[shaidar]

I think I'll start with Elwyn, who has only has 2gp and 5sp left.

[beniliusbob]

Just a quick update that we're still waiting on some character generation. Given this past weekend was a national holiday in Canada and the US, and it's the high summer vacation season in the northern hemisphere, such things are to be expected!

I'll be camping July 14th to 16th, so my goal is to get the game proper kicked off on the 17th, assuming no snafus.
