This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Are we rolling for hit points or are you just assigning maximum hit points at 1st level?

If I got a stat line like that, I probably would have done the same thing. I guess I could also add thief, but it just doesn't seem right. I'm anxious to get that old school power.

Quote from: skofflox;414901so roll char. @ Inv. Cas.?

Quote from: Benoist;414924If nobody's opposed to it, I think that's how we're gonna roll.
Don't bother assigning the roll before-hand, though. You'd just roll 4d6.takeHighest(3) six times, and then assign the six scores however you want.

roger that.

Quote from: Sigmund;414947I'm in, but you knew that already :D

Edit: Gonna be 1/2 orc fighter, wiling to be related to skofflox if he's taking 1/2 orc fighter :D Might be interesting... anyway, 1/2 orc fighter, *snip* Very much looking forward to this Benny.

Blood thick Bro...I am game for that...how do you feel about a 1/2 orc Cleric in the family?

Quote from: Benoist;414957Which makes me think: totally good idea to have connections between characters and all. We could save some time by just deciding that the PCs know each other before hand.

Whether we start the game by having the party arriving in town, or just right there by the dungeon with a short intro and go from there, I haven't decided yet. I'm feeling the latter might be best. Like this, we get right into the meaty part, and then get to know more about the city as things unfold and PCs get back to the surface.

Also, on the surface, if you feel like it, don't hesitate to become part of the community. That is. If you want to open a store, or become a member of the guard, join a gang, preach in the street the greatness of your god to create a local temple, create a guild together, et cetera... I'm totally receptive to these kinds of ideas. I respond to whatever you guys decide to do, or not. It's a sandbox, in other words.
:cool::hmm:

Ben.,I will be finishing char. tomorrow then PM you!

My name is Ramón Nogueras. Running now Vampire: the Masquerade (Giovanni Chronicles IV for just 3 players), and itching to resume my Call of Cthulhu campaign (The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man).

Quote from: Sigmund;415234Benny, I notice that his str is one too high for half orc racial max, should I redo him, or make him human, or drop it by one and add the point to con, or just drop it by one?
You could switch two stats for instance, like Str and Con, which would result in 17 Str and 18 Con if I'm not mistaken, which is still really, really good. You then recalculate the Hit Points and you're done.
