Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

You won’t have to think anymore: it’ll be just like having fun!

A kobold is fine too...

(Yes... I thought about it, but despite the possibly nature of the joke, coupled with Mr. Strange's pofile the comment seems worth it.)

Thou in all seriouslesnes, I would wager that such a character could get quite the mali towards actions that just don't suit him. Like fighting in melee. Well, either way, now that you have spoken of such a servant, we may thank it to the wonders of reverse-psychology that it won't come true. Which... in turn now may or may have not been negated by me!

On a completely serious note - are there any ramifications on choosing a small cuddly thing, a slime or one of the flesh-liberated undead as pc-avatar? Not saying there should be, just asking is all. (Or maybe we should just patiently wait till the post about Servants goes up. But where would be the fun in that? :P)

Actually, with regards to creatures, can we choose creatures from either the first the second game?
I may like to be one of the tentacle monsters from the first game, they get brutal at higher levels.

Also, I think that the imps themselves would likely just be subordinates to us.

Character creation is up. It looks longer than it is; most of the fields are just putting in "sleeping" or "pie."

Because it popped into my mind - As 5 of the other suggestors mentioned or voted for someone with armour, how about we have him also wear one along these lines?;
Battle Plate Kraven sounds like a good addition. I'll finish and get up his official description at some point, but for the moment people should have a decent idea of what they're serving.

You may, though leveling will work a bit differently here.

Wait are the characters/creatures supposed to be originals or can we have a bit of creative leeway?

Character
Name: Izwil the Exiled
Appearance:
Personality: Powerhungry, Twisted, Calculating
Preferences: Izwil likes nothing more than to take revenge on the humanoid races that plague his own so very much, and employs the more nefarious arcane arts to that end.

Default Actions: Meditation, Watching the hustling of others, Torturing Prisoners,
Requirements: Beedrom, Arcane Library, Torture Room, The occasional Prisoner
Abilities:
Lightfooted: Kobolds don't trigger traps as easily as others
Sneaking: Kobolds are natural experts at not being noticed by others
Lower Arcana - Shadow: A book in the den's lootpile, a bored kobold, a diagram painted into the sand with a stick... that was how it begann...
 - Shadowbolt
 - Curse

Stats
Attack: 2 (-2)
Defense: 4 (+2) (Kobolds that survive, normally do so by learning how to dodge, you see...)
HP: 2 (-1)


Ye~p, called it. A kobold really is fine too!
In the spirit of kobolds, his stats are.. abyssal, at a -2, and his magical abilities are not at an impressive level. Cut him some slack, he had enough problems learning how to read anything but those fancy drawings~ ;3


Edit: Oh, "those" kind of modifiers you were talking about? Err.. yeah, actually never really happened upon them / worked with them yet. Well then let's fill some in that make sense. Allright, looks good to me now~

I'm not sure what you mean. If you'd just like to rip something else off, that's fairly fine, if a bit dull. You'll still need to describe them, though.

If it's any consolation, at +7 that's going to be some very expensive, high-class diva meat.

No personal character sheet, though?

Are you familiar with the difference between starting stats and mods?

Also, is this intended to be a unique character, with no lesser brethren that might join the dungeon?

I am.. honestly not sure what you are trying to get at. I know that he is in total 2 stats lower than what would be the norm of 3/3/3. Only that I percieve that still as quite high, a kobold being as small as it is. He isn't even really strong compared to other kobolds - which I tried to make into a race, but such flimsy things would just take up space and time that could be used better on more... usefull races. I doubt you would enjoy tracking a number of "easy-dead cannonfodder" either.

Or rather, wait - If the question is if this are his "end-stats", versus any kind of confusing "stats that I additionaly want to the 3/3/3 starter stats", then it is the former. So yeah, not trying to make a +7 kobold here. Thou I am unsure as to how high his other skills are to be placed.

Else, yes, he is intended as a unique character. I played - as mentioned - with the idea of adding kobolds as a race, but came to the conclusion that they won't really do anything useful, or fill a spot that needs to be filled. Unless making suicidal thieving runs with - at best - abyssial slim chances of success would do such a thing.

*Reread* Ah, you can go negative, correcting.

The personal sheet was delayed by RL, I going to put one up soon.

Creature
Colloquial Name: Minotaurs/Bullmen/Minoans
Official Name: Follower(s) of Minos
Appearance: "10 foot tall furred bipedal bison", is the best way to put it. Also, there are only male Followers of Minos as they are only brought into existence by their own god, Minos, but are not entirely infertile *cough**cough*. Luckily, all of them stop aging after they fully mature and are nigh-impossible to be killed by old age
Personality: They are very amiable, industrious workers who are generally seen feasting and drinking with others and are the life of a party. However hedonistic they may be, they all swear vows of celibacy in order to more adequately serve Minos. They also can fly into an uncontrollable rage if they are sufficiently hurt, emotionally or physically.
Preferences: The Followers of Minos prefer inebriated philosophical discussions and discovering new foods and brews, not to mention actually eating and drinking them, and long walks on the beach admiring furniture.

Default Actions: The Followers of Minos prefer feasting and brewing/cooking.
Requirements: The Followers of Minos require a large stockpile of food, a rather large kitchen area, and high ceilings, and large beds and a temple area.
Abilities: All Followers of Minos can and will fly into a berserker's rage of sorts where they lose all sense of self-preservation and pain and throw themselves at the enemy until the enemy is shattered or completely destroyed. After this rage, they are usually comatose for a week or so while they're natural accelerated healing tries to repair damage.
Stats:
Attack: 3(+3) [See below]
Defense: 3(-4) [Minotaurs rely on killing their enemy before they can act or just intimidating the enemy to the point of running away. Also, they just don't care about defending themselves.]
HP: 3(+2) [Minotaurs are notoriously sturdy beings, which is a needy trait as they need to sustain their risky fighting style, if you could call it a fighting style.]


Character:
Name: Prophet Alistarius
Appearance: A 13 foot tall grey furred Follower of Minos, is possibly the blandest way I can put it. I'm not good at appearances.
Personality: Alistarius is a general all around kind guy, believing in concepts such as honor and other things. He acts as a sort of counterbalance to the unnecessary cruelty most would advise and as such has been hounded out of most communities of evil as have his fellow Prophets. If you offend him or his lord, however, he becomes extremely dangerous to your wellbeing. Nowadays, he only wishes to protect the Minoan faith and expand it through willing converts and hopefully find a good home for his people.
Preferences: What most Followers of Minos like to do: Pray, eat, drink, and debate.

Default Actions: Eating, writing, drinking, and praying
Requirements: Very tall ceilings. A temple area. A large kitchen and dining hall where feasts can be held. Lots of food production or stockpiled. A grand library where he can put his holy scriptures is also useful.
Abilities: As a Prophet, Alistarius has access to the ability of eating his foes' appendixes to become more powerful. Most often times he also eats the whole corpse, though. As for the rage that other minotaurs have, he is able to decide when he is succumbed to it, although the rage will only subside after the enemy is sufficiently destroyed.

Stats:
Attack: 3(+4)
