Yeah, I'd not bar anyone from joining. Even six Paladins!

Also, if anyone has them, do consider gather information/bluff/intimidate/diplomacy if you're playing in my part of the game. Even if you're not a party face. There are people EVERYWHERE that social skills will come in handy against.

Sorry. I would, but I get 1 skill point per level, and I need Riding .

[Deep Waters]

Apparantly my skills are wrong as well. Not sure about how to fix them though, because i was blurry on them to start.

Okay, quick low-down on skills.

For a sorcerer, first-level skill points are 2 + (Int modifier) x 4. Every time you level up, you get 2 + (Int modifier) more skill points. Skills are capped at your CL + 3 (as a 2nd level character, this would be 5 ranks). Cross-class skills require two points instead of one to rank up. Class skills are listed along with the class, right above the number of skill points a class receives every level.

Sorcerers, especially those that intend to be in the thick of combat, should get Concentration. Beyond that, Bluff is good for countering counterspells and feinting, and takes advantage of a sorcerer's high Cha. It's not incredibly useful combat-wise (and I don't think it's incredibly useful out-of-combat either, but hey I'm playing a paladin what do I know), but it's the most viable class skill Sorcerer has aside from Concentration.

Ok, since this thread has been going so insanely fast, could someone tell me a couple things?

0: I know we're at level 3 already, I caught that bit.
1: what stat generation method are we using?
2: I think we're using pretty much whatever books we can justify, if I remember right, am I wrong?
3: How are we doing HP per level and starting gold?
4: Is there anything else that wouldn't be glaringly obvious that I should know if I want to join?

1. 24 Point Buy
2. Yes, but not generally from specific settings.
3. Standard WBL (2700 gp), and max, then ?.

[thatkid]

max, then assume average rolls (rounded up) for hp

[GiglameshDespair]

Level 3
24 point buy : site http://invisiblecastle.com/
Yeah, seems so
Average, 2700 staring gold for level 3
we have a list of players with their assorted chars/classes, and i think currently we have a paladins, sorcerers, a crusader, a rogue(s), cleric/necromancer, a druid.

0: ye
1: point buy, 24
2: Anything that's 3.5, official WotC, and not setting-specific is kosher; beyond that you'll have to ask GMs for special snowflake treatment. Personally, i get the feeling third-party 3.5 is more likely than 3.0, but I could be wrong.
3: Max hp first level, avg rounded up every level after. Gold is standard WBL, which is 2700gp.
4: Dwarm is running an inner-city oriented session. TK is going to be more towards the wilder parts of the city, forests and such (though with sallying and forthing involved). Silcugar is working on the pantheon; dunno how far along that is. can't think of anything else except for party formations, which I can't remember and am too lazy to look up.

2. Yes, but not generally from specific settings.

2: I was thinking of playing a monk with "Pharaoh's Fist" (basically makes the stun part of stunning fist area-of-effect) from some desert based book, would that be ok?

Thanks, you guys!

As long as it doesn't have anything tailored specifically to a setting (like Eberron's "The Dragon Above/Below/Between" or something), it should be fine. I'd probably wait for Word of God tho.

[TealNinja]

I don't mind

I'll have to think of better quest alternatives then 'make all the monsters immune to magic' tho.

I think my character would be best suited to yours, so far.  Heck, I'd even fit into Hightown automatically with my classy clothing and personal attendants.

Edit: Except a Paladin has already joined yours.  Bleh.  Well, would make for some exceedingly interesting party dynamics, and he'd be adventuring with me, not specifically my butlers.

Well, to be fair, I don't know that that'd be a problem. I'm not even sure I can cast Detect Evil, for that matter.
Backstory is that he was a sort of orphan taken in by a paladin order, and he doesn't really have the full battery of paladin training.

I think he'd clue in there's a problem when I'm traveling around with skeletons, 8 int or no.  Paladins also have Detect Evil at will, regardless of stats.

If you want to try it, that's fine.  We'll see how well I can roleplay/rollplay so you don't end up squishing me.

They don't have to know they can Detect Evil, though .

My point is I think we could make it work, especially if you were convincing ICwise. The skeletons might be a bit of a problem, though.

[thatkid]

Assuming Pharaoh's Fist is from sandstorm? Go ahead.

If y'all worked on your backstory together, you could maybe come up with a reason why the paladin just never uses detect evil on the necromancer. Skeletons remain a problem.

EDIT: As I mentioned much earlier in the thread, also, just because you have the same GM doesn't necessarily mean you have to be in the same party.

[Deep Waters]

If the skeletons are your butlers, wouldn't they be seen in general society? If necromancy is accepted enough you can have skeleton butlers without being run out of town, how could a paladin do anything about it no matter how much he doesn't like it?

[mastahcheese]

Ok, here's what I think my character would look like.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Cromwell Jackson
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Too lazy to think of something better)
Class: Monk 3
Stats:
10 Str, 14 Dex, 10 Con, 10 Int, 16 Wis, 10 Cha
1st Level: Monk AC bonus, rapid blow, stunning fist, (1st level feat: rapid stunning{lets you stun multiple times per turn, from the 2nd PHP I think?}) (Human Feat: Extra stunning fist) and whatever else monks get at first level.
2nd Level: Redirect spell if allowed, otherwise Evasion as normal, and deflect arrows.
3rd Level: Still mind(I think that's what they get?) (3rd level feat: Pharaoh's Fist, if allowed.)

That sound about right? Other than the lack of skills, of course. (Sorry, been a while since I played.)

Assuming Pharaoh's Fist is from sandstorm? Go ahead.

Pretty sure, yeah.
