Also you said max health. But you also said level one at the same time. If we start at level three, will we be taking max health for every level or or will we take average? Or I guess roll. (But seriously who actually rolls for health these days?)

[Rolepgeek]

Any restrictions on alignment or special settings stuff we should know?

EDIT: Also, how will flaws be handled?

[Dwarmin]

My char isn't terribly tanky either-was going barb/ranger sneaky stalker-though I sense I should change that.

[Criptfeind]

I have another question. If I start with LA one. Should my starting wealth by based on my CL or ECL? So 900gp or 2700gp? Additionally, can I use LA buy off later on in the game if it gets that far?

At any rate. Here is my work in progress sheet. Since I am going to bed.

Oh man. I notice that it keeps cutting out my guys full name. It's Thotham "LongStride" Kolae-Gileana. Not just Thotham. Not sure why it is deleting that.

Stats for my char, though these aren't the stats the numbers will actually be assigned to- I just like the numbers.

I'd like a definitive answer on level. 1 and 3 have been bandied around a lot. I'm pretty sure it's 3, but don't want to have to de-level a 3rd level character.

So would I, but the question has asked a number of times since Remuthra was last online, and if you check his personal text...

[GreatWyrmGold]

Ah.

...That explains stuff.

[Doomblade187]

Well, I might correct something- my fighter might actually be a tank. Especially if we're using max HP.

[Harbingerjm]

If we only had one more level to work with... Alas...

We are using point buy, not rolling. So... I guess you used up all your luck for the game on something we won't even be using. But don't despair too much, since the amount of points we were given is described as above "high powered campaign" We're basically demigods*. Still, you are nine points over 36 points we were given. So adjustment is needed.

*Not technically true. Since in D&D calling someone a demigod actually means something. Still, on the bell curve of the world we are far and away on the side of 'stronger'.

We're making sheets already? I haven't played DnD, so maybe I should play a barbarian? What do you recommend for a newcomer?

[Rolepgeek]

Newcomers get to be whatever the party needs.

Which in this case, is a rogue, really. In a way, arcane casting is covered by the warlock, and Crusader's strike plus Martial Spirit function as effective healing at this level, though a cleric and a wizard would certainly not be remiss, but mostly we need a skill-monkey.

Speaking of which, I will have to ask for some homerules about stances, Remuthra, as there are some (Immortal Fortitude, actually, in particular), which is a Devoted Spirit stance, that cannot be obtained by a single-classed Crusader(or single classed anything else, for that matter). So, can I retrain a stance known at some levels? What levels would be up to you, it's just silly that stuff like that happens.

Edit: Don't worry though, rogues aren't difficult to play, most of the time.

[Criptfeind]

That's a pretty harsh stance to take. And totally not true.

I mean. The GM will not be back for a few days apparently? I think we got plenty of time to make some good characters, and then Remuthra can pick the best one. The party is not set at all yet. As far as I am aware this is not first come first serve.

Don't feel pressured to try to make a character 'for' the party Cheesecake. Make a character that you want to play. If you can't decide on a class, you can make the backstory first and then you can get a class afterwards, hell, sometimes that is a good idea to do anyway. For instance, I decided I wanted a religious Goliath, that was my starting point. Not that I wanted to play a melee focused cleric because that would fit into 'the party' or what not.

As for complexity of play... Well. People say things like "Melee guys are easier and casters are harder!" And there is some truth to that. But to be honest, we are level three or level one. Unless you go into super try hard mode, whatever you end up making shouldn't be that hard to play. This is even more true since the format that we are playing in is fairly close to play by post. You won't need to memorize anything, any rules and such can be looked up as you need them.

And I would certainly be willing to help you, or any new players, with any issues if you want.

Via point buy this time.

And yeah, make what you want. We'll hash out a good party, and even if we're missing a 'job', per say, it'll just make it more fun to work around it.
