How's everyone getting along with it? Any one need help with it?

I've fully settled on a Cleric of Tempest now, a pure blooded Roman, ex military turned "Cleric"

. Will get it written up tonight or tomorrow at work!

lordhughes · 13 May 2015 at 20:22

I need to properly create a character, got a load of scribbled in a note pad, just need to sit down and write it up properly.

No1newts · 14 May 2015 at 12:28

If you can mail them over when you are some as there will be some interesting surprises dependent on some backgrounds

Pudney · 14 May 2015 at 13:02

I've got the background and some of the stats sorted for my Paladin - just need to tailor it to meet the specifics of the game world!

lordhughes · 14 May 2015 at 13:12

Should get a chance to write it up and send it to you on Sunday at the earliest.

No1newts · 14 May 2015 at 13:18

Cheers chaos, had a pretty busy work week so I've fallen behind with the writing but shouldn't take too much to catch up.

gradyhawks · 14 May 2015 at 13:34

Just checking what we are doing for stats?

Point buy? Array? Roll? I've done mine based on the standard array:

15,14,13,12,10,8 then assign those to stats then add your racial/feat extra's. That how we doing it?

No1newts · 14 May 2015 at 14:14

Yeah go array, that's what I tend to fido unless someone really objects to that?

Pudney · 14 May 2015 at 14:14

I did point buy - you get the same overall result as the standard array but it gives some flexibility to you. Plus I like a minimum of 10 in stats

gradyhawks · 14 May 2015 at 16:11

Aye point buy and array are all much the same.

Will see if I can get 18 wisdom then with point buy, will see what I have to give up. Might end up being rather uncharismatic

!

EDIT: Actually, can't get over 16 with point by~~, unless we can override it, that okay to do DM? (tbh I dont think I will, since its going to totally gimp my other stats)~~ scratch that.. would cost 9 ability points to get the stat up! No waay!

EDIT: To help everyone else, here is a list of all of the variations you can have BEFORE racial modifiers.

Or, you can have 15/14/13/12/10/8 instead (standard array).

So I've gone for:

Ex military, so not overly charismatic or intelligent but god damn am I wise and strong!

No1newts · 14 May 2015 at 18:51

Hope your bard is charismatic! Rest of you sound like a right bunch of knuckle dragging troglodytes

Pudney · 14 May 2015 at 23:25

I think my pals was reasonably charismatic, can't remember that stat

Bickaxe · 15 May 2015 at 08:53

How is the point buy thing working for you all? Every DM I've gamed with uses the 4d6, highest 3 (some even let you re-roll 1's which usually helps). Separates you from normal people.

Just written a one shot for this weekend (betrayal, pointless fetch quest, kill puppet master).

Hope when can expect an overview of your epic adventureyness. There better be giant rats and tavern burning!

lordhughes · 15 May 2015 at 13:47

Still playing a bard, but no longer from Scotland

as it could cause some issues with the rest of the group.

still working on a back story for him but basic stats/equipment
(using array)

str: 10
dex: 14 (+2)
con: 8
int: 13
wis: 12
cha: 15 (+2)

Equipment: Longsword, dagger, diplomats pack
Bard Instrument: ~~Fiddle~~ Bagpipes

Will probably take vicious mockery cantrip and maybe mage hand.

not sure with spells yet.

Shamikebab · 15 May 2015 at 14:11

Sort of missed this thread, shout when you need another member!

(Also John when we continuing DH?

)

No1newts · 15 May 2015 at 14:57

Shami I'm happy to play with a 5 man group (will only take a quick 20-30min fiddle with encounters I have built) so you are more than welcome. If you want in let me know and I'll drop you the work in progress history/setting book.

On the topic of the history/setting book I'll look to close this out ASAP as I can see it's causing a few issues. Just realised when I was reading it I misse out the 2 biggest regions when I was running down the region descriptions haha

@hughes, keep the bard I love the idea! Might make for some interesting circumstances but that what your silver tongue is for!

Was thinking about this the other day, can't do this weekend maybe the week after.

Ok

time to watch braveheart to help me nail down an awful accent and lingo.

gradyhawks · 15 May 2015 at 15:44

@ Bickaxe - I used 4d6 drop lowest when I DM but its caused a few issues, had to let some guy keep re-rolling as he was getting 5's and 10's for stats when everyone else got lucky and has at least 18 in their main stat. He kept rolling as his points were around 20 below everyone elses... he then went and rolled 18,17,16,13,13,11 and I've had to let him keep it .. he is a warlock of teifling origin, so he has 20 Charisma (+5!).

All in all, everyone his hitting more often, due to higher main stats, which has meant that I have had to slightly adjust monsters to compensate.

Next time I DM I am going to point buy it, so I don't have to adjust DC checks and monster stats on the fly.

@ Lordhughes - I am fully expecting everyone to accent it up! I might even see about borrowing a shirt of chain mail to play in haha (my brother has one, dont ask).
