It sounds very interesting, and i'd like to sign up.

I voted for the explore the world type - I like those a lot in online games.

Are you going to reveal the world as the game progresses, or is there a link to a specific setting?

lvl 4, 5k gold. Any other starting suggestions, requirements, whatever?

I'm sore about that whole 'no kobolds' thing... I'll get over it.

For me you're looking at some sort of arcane spellcaster... Not sure what yet.

Better question. Can I use CA if I provide transcript for whatever I'm using out of it?
Title: Derunas (OOC & Starting Thread)
Post by: Captain Obvious on February 11, 2007, 02:19:50 PM
Looks cool. I'd be upfor this.
As for races... all standard?
(can i be a feral halfling? pretty pretty please. The feral template is +1LA and is in savage species. I can provide a transcript of it if you need.

A few class related questions.
if i wanted to use the master of many forms prc for CV, would you accept the shapeshifting variant of wildshaping (from the PHB2 druid variant) as fufilling the wildshape requirement?

just wondering what stuff is acceptable before i work out my character.

either way, i will likely be a combat character, but something cool and non-standard. A shpeshifter, a claw fighter, a skirmisher, whatever. Something neat.

ooh, one more question. How are stats being done? 4d6? 3d6? point buy? something else?

Stats are 4d6, Feral variant is ok, it would be good if you could provide some sort of templatefor me to look at first. And yeah, shapeshifting variant is ok for master of many forms. Yeah, CA fine if you can show me what youre using first, but im planning to get my hands on that and CD soon.

4d6 it is. I might as well roll them here, and choose which roll from each to drop offsite and build from there.

Same. Gives you, sir DM, an idea of our abilities as well. (and we can't cheat the die rolls on here).

Why'd you want to reroll a 4? That could give you some awesome roleplaying opportunities, if used right!

Túrin
...negative numbers I can deal with. Personally, I like them 7-9.

if I use it right... okay Mr wiseguy, how would you utilize my horrible four?

and to the DM: are non-standard races/templates allowed from the MM? I'm looking at Grey Elf right now...

Is someone else in the party playing a fighter/monk/samurai/ whatever type? My character has a mentor in his backstory and if there is someone who would fit this in the party, it could make sense for it to be that person. So, anyone playing something similar? (my guy if a savage who is getting taught to control his rage while fighting).

For background stories, just run them through me first.

I haven't made a backstory yet, but will soon.

beguiler... that's illusion and such, correct?

looks like I've found one of the schools my wizard's dropping. So it'll be that and necromancy.

ah yes, my wizard's base HP.

Aki... reminds me of a certain werewolf I once knew...

is that pronounced (ah-qwi-sigh-ack), or (a-kwis-e-ag), or what?

 Aedir, My Wizard (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/view.php?id=11101)

I don't know what you were planning on giving us for starting xp, so I hope that the amount I took won't put me to below 4th.

Gear is all done. Aki is set to go.
he can carry so much more still, it's funny. He's a halfling, but he could carry all his gear and still be able to walk while carrying 2 people.
(high strength, no armour, minimal weapons and gear)

and did you mean this sunday (today) or next sunday?

Whenever you got time.  I understand being busy.
