I'd like a spot.  Can I play an awakened cat?  Always wanted to do that in D&D.  If not, can I play a zombie skeletal pixie wizard, for maximum minmax?  Or a doppelganger or something?

[Pancaek]

both are viable, though "Lich King" would be a prestige class. Well, undead spellcaster would be a prestige class, Lich would be a developed character, and Lich King would be a sort of end goal worthy of Xan.

Undead can have access to some magics though. I won't limit it to meatshields and skeleton archers.

Neat. Now to decide between construct spellcaster and undead spellcaster.

A spot is reserved, Mr. In Boots.

I Gm'd a D&D game this spring where a player wanted to be an awakened mouse. I called him Reepicheep and he was all like "how did you know that 's where I was going with that?" So yes, In Boots, that'll do.

the Clockwork Alchemist has a nice ring to it. A zombie shaman would be ... something.

No one has suggested a Troll medic yet. I can't say it will be an effective class, but it will certainly be entertaining.

Feegles? I can't do the accent very well (which often isn't easy to read anyway), but I can do a more understandable version.

I am leaning more towards clockwork. Not sure about the alchemist part though. What would an alchemist even be able to do?

Crivens! A feegle!

[Xantalos]

As I mentioned in my PM, I'm not quite sure what to do right now but I'm leaning spiderish I think.

[Egan_BW]

Reserve now but thinking later.

I tend not to take creatures from others' work, because I don't play them the way they are in that setting. That said, as Feagles are Piictlike Leprechauns, I don't see a real problem, as long as there's no "but Pratchet said ..." or "Feagles can do x, so I'm doing x" becasue that's pratchett and this is ... something else

[/quote]Alchemy is a challenging magic to work with. it involves changing material substances through combinations, some astrology, and whatever else. Alchemic magic is more a long term buff type thing, the search for the Elixer, testing how to use the strange goops and glowy things .. that kinda thing. A person with an affinity for alchemy will know basic combinations and can figure out the essence of a magical artifact's power to some extent.

I listed magics in part because of my interest in variations on the theme, and in part to see what people tried

As I mentioned in my PM, I'm not quite sure what to do right now but I'm leaning spiderish I think.

There aren't too many spiderlike fantasy creatures except the Driders from D&D and those monsters from HP and LOTR. be quite a challenge to make a PC version. Any chitinous creature would be a challenge.

I'll post a provisional first post tonight, and edit as we work things out.

everyone else has mentioned interest but not specifically reserved. Anyone already building a character in this thread is reserved. (Xan, Pan, Maegil, )

[Parisbre56]

Saw this and was reminded of piecewise's old blog.

[Dutrius]

I'm considering a Dwarf character.

[Xantalos]

Oh, I'll explicitly reserve a spot if I could then. I'll be at work today so I won't have much time to build a character, but the inherent frustration and contempt I accrue from being there should help me come up with something.

[piecewise]

Dunno if I can get time to post today. I'll see later, but for right now, too busy.

Saw starwars yesterday. It was pretty good. I'd recommend it.

[Maegil]

Yes, please consider me in.

Please (V) tick or (X) cross the permissible Pratchett characteristics :
- 15cm high,
- human strength,
- 10x human speed,
- highly resilient to impact - stepping on them only makes them angry(er), can survive falling off a bird (knickers parachutes are still nice),
- can eat and drink (mainly drink) several times its own volume,
- not very smart, and often quite dumb,
- bards (gonnagles) are more intelligent, and can weaponize poetry and bagmousepipes for mindfuck effects,
- can move between dimensions,
- queens (keldas) are very intelligent and can use magic, mainly healing, mind-altering, and access to genetic memories (I'm not making one, it's just for possible RP with an NPC).

Well that seems a bit of a munchkin choice of race.
