Pre-Game Planning Discussion

[GreyWolfVT]

Oh I loved the books with Fizban in them he tried casting feather fall and the room filled with chicken feathers. I also like how they mark wizards evil wear black robes, good wear white robes, neutral wear red robes. Granted this is all related to the 3 moons and the 3 gods of magic in DragonLance. Still a handy system for everyone else around.

[Rex]

Dragonlance was cool. The modules tended to be too scripted for me, but many of the concepts and the world building was cool for sure.

[GreyWolfVT]

Roller Campaign # 911 a sign? Maybe.

[Rex]

This is going to be very interesting!

Woof... in so many ways!

[GreyWolfVT]

Also remember my Haunted Tower game was ID 666 Two signs of things to come.

[Rex]

Crazy stuff!

[Rex]

Have we decided on a rolling method, standard 4d6 drop lowest and arrange or do you have something else in mind?

[GreyWolfVT]

I'm going to allow any of the roll methods that are in the PHB and Player's Option S&P book. Player's choice.

[Rex]

Interesting I will look at the players option S&P, not familiar with it.

[tarlyn]

so which method can we use from S&P?

There are methods 7,8,9, 10

[Rex]

I haven't read everything yet but I like the traits and disadvantages in that book. Similar to the advantages/disadvantages in Top Secret SI.

Didn't even look that far to be honest,

I think this is the book with spell points which I found absurd , but I'm old school heh.

[GreyWolfVT]

Spell points are either in Skills & Powers or the Spells & Magic Player's option book. I didn't allow/add Combat & Tactics to the mix I find for me it will add a level of complication/confusion in combat scenarios.

As stated You the player may decide what roll method you wish to use. I'm being very open about it. That and I am curious to see if anyone diverts from the standard method or if everyone just sticks to what they normally use.

If any of the methods requires the DM to give you options tell me that is the method you have chosen and I can oblige.

[Rex]

I am looking at the skills & powers book, thought that was the right one anyways. There are some interesting methods. As a horrible roller, method VII or X look good. The only thing that makes me hesitate is every now and then I pull off a great set of numbers (Egon in your Wizards Basement game is the best set I have rolled on here for sure).

[Storm11]

I am interested in method 7. 75 points to allocate between the six attributes.

You add and subtract the racial bonus/penalty after allocation right? Just to clarify before I start.

[Rex]

That is how I read it. Most likely the method I will use.

[Rex]

I have a few ideas bouncing around. Do we have a level range decided yet as they may influence it?

[Storm11]

That is how I read it. Most likely the method I will use.

Magic. I like that plan

[RiverGreenForest]

I want to be a Karakast Dwarf.. I'm gonna be a Dwarven Dwarf.

What level are we starting at?
