Character Generation

[Trantor_Trollbane]

Congrats TT.

Now you know why we all love 1E so much.

It could have been worse. Most of the confusion was trying to find things in the PHB that was actually in the DMG and getting used to the character sheets here. There were a couple new concepts, but nothing crazy. I wont make any judgements on the system until I get to crawl through some dungeons!

[OGRE MAGE]

Nice!

I dig that mentality.

[Spearmint]

Felix

Character of unknown race and class but seems to mirror most of you guys. Maybe an elf fighter/mage? Or 1/2 orc cleric/fighter? Human Paladin?

Felix starting stats randomly assigned: [4d6c1]=15 [4d6c1]=17 [4d6c1]=13 [4d6c1]=10 [4d6c1]=16 [4d6c1]=17

[Trantor_Trollbane]

I feel like that's at least what eddie would want!

[Spearmint]

Felix going for 1/2 orc fighter/thief.

How are you doing the max hp at 1st level for dual classed characters? Max both then divide by half?
Would be 11hp that way. (10+4 fighter + 6+2 thief / 2 = 11).

Yes

[Rex]

Crazy nice scores Spearmint!

[OGRE MAGE]

Would a Paladin or Ranger be allowed?

[Gomezthebarbarian]

Yes, both are allowed. If you play a Paladin, I’ll be keeping an eye out on your moral and ethical choices.

[OGRE MAGE]

Yes, both are allowed. If you play a Paladin, I’ll be keeping an eye out on your moral and ethical choices.

I would have it no other way.

Could I consider him a septless Knight of the Azure Shield? Or would you prefer I come up with something else?

I think you have to reach a certain level. Give me time to look this one up.

hmm, what do we need...

Did some reading and some thinking (oh no!)...

The Knights of the Azure Shield are a military organization with the sept as the lowest tier unit, 10 knights. So, no septless knights.

The Black Legion are knights from the noble Archontean families and are quite elitist and very haughty. Don't think their attitudes would fit a paladin.

The Sacred Band is a knightly order of paired lovers, some male-male, some male-female, some female-female. Usually a fighter/knight an a magic-user. I don't see this working out for a Paladin.

I have made up a order of warrior-monks, the martial arm of Mitra, one of The Ten gods of this realm. He is a Lawful Good whose areas of influence include justice, contracts, omniscience, defenders, oaths, and humanitarian impulses. Mitra's symbols and weapon are scales of justice, lions, flames; the long sword. I came up with the 'Fist of Mitra,' and a paladin of the order is called a Fist. I think this would be the best choice.

Well, so far we have a dwarf Fighter/Cleric, a Magic-User, a halfling Thief, a half-orc Fighter/Thief, and a Paladin (I hope I didn't miss anyone). There are enough thieves, er...rogues so I wouldn't bother but play something YOU WANT TO. Maybe somebody in the party might suggest something...I am supposed to be impartial.

[ravenn4544]

...and a half-orc Fighter.

[scottjen]

Thinking of doing a human ranger. Haven't played a ranger before.
Are we using age modifiers?

This sounds good.

I will get my sheet finished up today.

[Paladin]

Got some good rolls. Going for a human thief.

[4d6c1]=16,[4d6c1]=16,[4d6c1]=11,[4d6c1]=15,[4d6c1]=14,[4d6c1]=16

[Rex]

Wow, very nice!

[Paladin]

His basics are done. Got to roll for gold and pay for equipment, figure encumbrance, and he'll be ready to go. If you like, I can play a post or two as I fill that out.

Been doing some of this at work, so if I miss anything or figure incorrectly, kindly let me know.
