Character Creation

[mithrandir138]

I just realized in BD&D Moldvay/Cook the type of armor you are wearing limits your maximum Movement Rate regardless of total carried weight. Reminds me of AD&D1e/OSRIC.

You're right, I totally forgot about that. I better go fix that on my sheet.

Yeah, I was hoping thats his spellbook....

lol.

Sure! 90 blank pages!

Don't open it! It's booby trapped with Cloud of a Million Papercuts (Targeting eyes, nose, and mouth.) <- I think that's from Hackmaster, IIRC

Nice!

Also, thanks for the post, Alethan, about creating the link to your character in your sig. I would've been lost.

Glad you found it helpful, good sir!

Mr. DM and Vargr....I was kinda hoping to play a Cleric; but with a DEX of 16; Thief is the best bet. If you two agree/want to.....want to switch stats Vargr?

If not, no worries....I've always liked Thieves...though low-level ones in BECMI are usually just back-rank missile troops and Wall-Climbers! (Which I am TOTALLY okay with being! )

[Dogma]

I have no problem with you guys swapping stats. assuming you both want to...

[Alethan]

Done with my character generation. Posted for your approval, Dogma.

A thief afflicted by consumption? I don't know...and I already completed my character, background and all.

Tell you what Max, you finish you thief and when the final product is done get back to me. Then we'll see if a PC trade can be done.

Dogma,

How did you want to do spell selection for Magic-users and Elves?

Player's choice. You only get one so choose wisely

Hey Dogma;

Since Vargr already went and rolled up a character; I'll stick with my stats and stick to the Cleric idea; he'll just be a very scrawny; very quick-fingered Cleric! Thanks though!

That pairs off quite nicely with my fat, bumbling cleric. We got ourselves the Clerical Un-Dynamic Duo!

How'd you guys do those kick-ass character sheets -- the ones with the tabs and whatnot?

If someone not on an iPad can't get to this before tonight, 3k, I'll instruct when I get onto a pc.

Using the Unseen Servant Dice Roller (link on the upper right corner of every forum page).

You have to create an account there, then you can roll up or make characters you associate with a campaign via a the Campaign ID number.

When a US character sheet is done it gives you a code you can post on a thread. The result is the kick-ass sheets with the tabs and whatnot you see on the characters thread.

From then on, any change you make to the character sheet on the US Dice Roller automatically updates on the thread where you posted the code.

You can also create Dice Macros for each character, saving you the trouble of writing down common dice rolls every time you want to do them (attacks, damage, saves, etc)

The US Dice Roller has a guide which will teach you how to do all that nifty stuff. Any doubts just ask away.

[thirdkingdom]

Cool. Thanks, guys.

[Alethan]

I believe all except 2-handed ones.

Clubs and hand axes galore!

I picked a sword because the drawing I used had one, if I'm to be completely honest...

I would like to purchase a mule but cannot find it on the equipment list. How much would one cost?

There is a mule in the Expert rules - it is 30gp. Not sure if we are using those rules though.

Having owned this module back in the day (but never got a chance to play until now) I can give you a hint that

it's camels, not mules, in these parts

If you want to buy a mule I say go for it. 30gp. You were travelling with a caravan after all. Though camels were probably the preferred mode of travel I can see where a mule wouldn't be completely out of place.

I'm thinking it would be good if everyone could write a short sentence or two as to why they were travelling with the caravan, be it guard, pilgrim, etc. If you haven't already in your background.

Also. magic users and Elves can have ReadMagic in their spell books in addition to one other first level spell, but can only memorize one at a time.

Character is done and ready for your perusal, Dogma.
