Yeah, I was considering it, but we already have two priests.  Team Cleric is amusing, but probably a bit overkill.  I ended up going Wizard because there's no way I can fill the meatshield shortage, but topped it off by rolling 2 on my 1d4 HP die.  I just hope we don't have to face any dire kittens.  Or regular kittens, for that matter. 

Rione of Barazar.  The PHB doesn't seem to give much information on starting spells for a mage, however; it says that this is up to DM discretion.

Being a wizard requires an intelligence of at least 13.

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

9 according to the PHB I have, unless I missed something?

Really? Only a 9? Huh. I thought it was 13.

Yes.  According to the table, that would put it in line with Fighter (9 STR), Cleric (9 WIS), and Thief (9 DEX) for the four major class archetypes.

Are you looking at the rules for AD&D 1st edition or second edition?
Fighters and Thieves have no requirements.

EDIT: Just looked it up, I'm the one that's confused. You're right.

It says that it's AD&D Second Edition, so my assumption is the latter, but I suppose massive transcribing errors or mislabeling through the power of "grep all" aren't impossible.

EDIT: Ah, OK.  Glad it's cleared up, then. ^_^

Check out in the ability score tables for 1E: if one of your stats is too low, there's a line for "Here and below you can only be a Thief" or somesuch.

If we need another player, since Birth of Oblivion kinda sorta completely fell through, I could join in.
If the players could be found, I would still run it.

I think 4 out of 6 six of the Dishonorable crew are reasonably active.

I will now stalk this thread, unless you need another party member.

Yeah, but Culise was referring to the sunken HMS Honorable.

So... how many players do we have for this? And how many more do we need?

With Culise, we should have enough. I haven't actually gone to find the character sheets yet, but I think that's four.

Ah, that venture. I'd be willing to roll up a character since the Dishonorable crew got stuck in a time statis field.
