Well we have a half thief (but I wont complain if there is more)

We could never have too many fighters either.
But yeah, a caster would be good too....


So I guess I am saying anything would be good at this point

[Blick]

I am at work and don't have access to books, can someone post the abilities for Gray Elves and Wood Elves from the UA?

[Axiom]

Can you except email? I could email a pdf to you if you want?

[Blick]

I will look at the mystic bull link

[Axiom]

Shoot. Even winrar'd it still exceeds gmails 25MB limit

Let me take screen shots of the elf info and email it to you.

Steve Wescott? I used to play D&D with a Steve Wescott back in High School

[Blick]

Ah thanks.
Where did you go to school?

I have my initial sheet posted and will fill it out more when I get home and have the resources.
I have not chosen spells or anything like that yet.

Here is where the sheet is posted:
Whistlewyrd, Gray Elven Fighter and Mage

Makes it a lot more convenient for DMs to reference and you can edit it at will.

[Axiom]

A little place called Pewaukee High School.

That'd be crazy if you were the same guy.... but if not, its crazy to meet another Steve Wescott that games

[Blick]

Nope, went to a little school called Pioneer High School.

Scary to think of another one of me out there gaming...

[Axiom]

Darn clones

Anyway, pleased to meet you

[Blick]

You too.
I am ready to cast those funky little magic spells.

Hope you guys don't mind me dropping fireballs at my feet...

I had to weigh the benefits of a fighter over being a cleric, and elf over half-elf

Grugach was out as they can only be fighter/thieves..danged limitations
Wood elf would give me +1 str but -1 int and not sure I wanted to go there with a mage.

The UA stats for elves replace the high elf stats right? meaning they don't get the +1 dex/-1 con and the other bonus...

That is correct.

Ok he is good to go to a point.

I will flesh him out when I get home and can check money, saves and all that stuff.

Whistlewyrd

Looks good. I'll post your starting equipment tonight along with the money that's left over. I noticed that he's listed as High Elf -- weren't you interested in grey elf?

Also tell me what two of the four weapons you're proficient with that you want to start with.

Probably post your private start tomorrow.

[Blick]

Oops, I adjusted the stats but didn't update the race. It is updated now.

Weapons:
Longsword and Longbow

Specialization? If you choose a melee weapon, drop one of your proficiencies. If you choose a ranged weapon, drop two.

Weapon specialization text from UA is on the campaign site.

I get 4 slots for fighter and 1 for mage right?

Longsword (spec), Longbow, Dagger
Staff

I would spec in bow but the mage slot cannot be used to augment longbow or longsword as they are not allowed weapons for the mage.

I believe you only get 4. You take the "best of" from your multi-class combination, if I remember correctly -- not "in addition to."

[Blick]

I can't find anywhere where it says that, only thing I see if in the races where it tells if there is an armor and weapon limitation.

But I will reduce it to just the weapons for fighter.

Whistlewyrd

Ya. I don't see it anywhere either, but it makes sense given other multi-class rules. You take the better of saves (by attack type), etc. Progressing as fighter on the weapon proficiency table (not to mention specialization) is a distinct advantage. I don't think adding an additional MU proficiency makes sense.
