OK then. Thanks for the info, it'll probably come in handy.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, feel free to ask if you need information. My experience is with freshwater boats, but a decent amount of the knowledge crosses over. I just won't be able to tell you more than you could get from a thorough googling re: things specific to sailing ships. Heh, and I can certainly give you fodder for fluff about how fucking boring it can be, and about storms &c. Once had a bolt of lightning strike the water maybe thirty feet away while I was out on the stern making ready for landing; the guy on the wharf jumped about two feet in the air. xD

My knowledge of sailing is pretty much limited to whatever tidbits I can glean from David Weber's Safehold series <_<;

And that tends to focus on bigger ships like galleys and galleons, so dunno how relevant any of it would be to our little ship...

[Flying Dice]

From what I recall, he was fairly accurate, but his writing was mostly concerned with battle -- and to that end, both galleys and cannon-armed warships are quite different from any sort of fighting we'd be doing against other ships, which would either consist of running away or boarding without ramming.

Humm, spot open? I could sign up..

28 pt buy and lv 1 start it seems?

And why is everyone human. O_o

[Nerjin]

We all grew up on the same island [other than Ayeleth] and there was, at one point, a Half-orc and a Gnome. Gnome decided he wanted to live with the dwarves as he felt more at home there than he did with us. The Half-Orc's failing health and desire to make sure the gnome was safe led him to stay as well.

[Sirus]

BTW Nerjin, I'm not being deliberately contrary. Darwyn is Uncivilized, so laws and such don't make a whole lot of sense to him.

[Dwarmin]

Humm, is there any bias against making an aquatic character? I don't know the lore...

[Nerjin]

So far as I know there isn't a thing against it [so long as you don't need LA] though I'm not sure exactly how that'd work.

[Dwarmin]

I'd just peg the environmental racial variant.

[Sirus]

I have a porpoise animal companion, so I don't see why we couldn't have an aquatic PC.

[Dwarmin]

Well, here's my sheet, missing a bit of equipment like food and ropes I guess.

I might need help with the RP tho. I don't know why I'd join this ship yet!

Edit: ...shoot, I think these are an LA+1 race...ugh
Edit2: Well, should work now!

[Flying Dice]

Hm. The plot setup does sort of reduce the possibilities when it comes to new party members, but this is probably the best place in the setting to take someone on. For my part, Beolas probably wouldn't object to meeting someone new, as long as it wasn't presented to him in the sense of "replacing" friends and they weren't overtly evil.

[Dwarmin]

You guys can blast me with detect evil?

I'll get all low marks, I swear.

[Flying Dice]

I mean really overtly evil in the lowercase sense; Sacha is Evil and still a good friend.
