Aelwyd PbP game... anyone would be interested?

[Johnny Wraith]

Well, I don't see any reason against us both playing druids...

[Wensleydale]

Nah, you can both play druids. :P the only problem I can forsee is that the party will die quickly in combat.

Hmmm, um...yeah. Would an arcane spellcaster fit?

Again, bound mage... eh... well, a legionary might fit. If you were converted to the ways of the druids... that might work, a coverted legionary? Sound good?

[Kindling]

Actually, I was sort of thinking of playing a tribesman anyway :-)

A pretty straightforward fighter type, embittered by Aequii attacks on his tribe and full of hatred for the invaders. Very loyal to his allies, though, and with a heart of gold. Except of course where the Aequii are concerned. In their case, he will never miss an opportunity to kill (although he may grudgingly be forced to accept the odd converted legionnaire if the party has one ;) )

Does that sound alright?

PS. You mention in the setting thread about different metals for equipment. Can you tell us more about what metals would be available to the Guerin-Aelwyd at what prices, and also the statistical differences between weapons and armour made from different metals?

[So-Keher]

Could he be a legionary archer? would rangers better fit? I suddenly got the urge to play a ranger just tell me what fits best... actually make a list of 4 classes (or types) that ar enecessary in your party and then we can choose! :D

Sure.

[Kindling]

Also, how are we generating stats? Point buy or what?

[Wensleydale]

Weapons... and things.

Iron weapons: Iron weapons and armour...

* Can't be enchanted, or at least not as much as normal weapons.

* Armour is weaker (lower AC)

* Weapons aren't as sharp (-1 piercing and slashing damage) however the Guerin treat them to make them harder and heavier (+2 bludgeoning damage)

Steel is as normal, but does +1 extra damage to fey.

New armour/weapons & changes to armour/weapons

P.S., I've written down the main augmentations to the weaves in Aelwyd, and I'm doing the level 1 weaves now. We only need them to start with anyway.

[Wensleydale]

Use 3eProfiler for your characters.

[Wensleydale]

Starting location: Bryncopa Hill Fort, a large fortified village atop a hill. I'll let you lot decide why your characters are there, but it's close to Lugannussah, one of the great festivals of the year, meaning large towns will attract plenty of hopeful bards, druids, and warriors hoping to be accepted into the lord's service. The town is led by Prince Bowen.

If anyone needs help with welsh-sounding names, just say. :P  

[Wensleydale]

I'm planning to start next week, if everyone's ready.

[Matt Larkin (author)]

I will probably be unavailble August 14th through 19th.  After that I'll be back in town and should be able to check fairly regularly.

[Kindling]

Okay, I'll get my character up later today.

[Wensleydale]

*nodnod* what you gonna play?

[Kindling]

My tribesman, Arvel, is belated but ready.
