There is now a fighter archer subclass.

And I would call them shortswords, they are a tad long for daggers.


Oh, and thanks for reminding me of pippin.

How many more players are left to throw in a sheet?

No clue. Lots of people have expressed interest but very few have actually made sheets. So far we have...

And here is my example

Rakonas's elven rogue Lothinenn.

I made a sheet. I may switch my background to Solider, and still need to properly fluff.

My Name is Immaterial's glitchy halfling fighter Lyle Greenbottle.

Highmax's dwarf cleric Asbjorn.

And... that's about it. I'd like to mention that my modules is based around a party of four, so if Aseaheru finishes their sheet we could technically start. That doesn't mean that nobody else could join, mind you. A party of five or six should work just as well if anyone makes a sheet in the last minute. Plus I haven't made the PbP thread in FG&RP yet, so we could pick a person or two up from there. In other words we have the potential for a large party, but will probably end up with four or five guys. Better than nothing I suppose.

[highmax28]

I talked to DwArfy1 and he seemed interested but like me, only knows 4e. I'm used to a huge party, but a DM can only take so much (9 people with my group including the NPC child sorcerer the DM plays for the one I play at in RL). If we need another guy, I can get another person, but experience may be a bit differing

[USEC_OFFICER]

With how things are now, I'm not going to complain with another person or two. But six or seven is definitely my maximum. I find that any more people makes things drag out more and increases the chances that people will lose interest or not post or whatever.

And only knowing 4e is perfectly fine. None of us have played 5e after all, and the difference between the two versions isn't amazingly big. He should be fine, especially if he asks lots of questions if he gets confused.

The difference between 5e and 4e is 5e went back to big brother 3.5

[My Name is Immaterial]

5e is allot like 3.75e

[USEC_OFFICER]

The difference between 5e and 4e is 5e went back to big brother 3.5

I know that. But it's still D&D. He's not learning an entirely new system, just a variant on the one he already knows. A fairly large variant, admittedly, but the entire system hasn't been changed.

He's used to wizards being instant casters, which they aren't anymore. Also, there is no subclass, just paragon paths and epic destinies in 4e (although multiclass is also there in 4e)

[USEC_OFFICER]

That's... honestly not that great of a change. The subclass stuff is part of character creation and so would only have to be dealt with once, and a fair number of spells are still relatively instantaneous. I'm not saying that he'll pick it up instantly, but the learning curve should be pretty easy if he already knows 4e.

I'm learning 3.5 and I noticed a lot in there. Once again, I didn't read it fully, but are crit fails back and confirming crits? That can get hectic really quickly

[USEC_OFFICER]

I'll have to reread the rules again honestly, but I don't remember crit fails being back. A 1 is a failure no matter what, but I don't remember the rules attaching any more to that.

...

Of course, house rules are a thing.

I just hope you're not as cruel of a DM as I can get

[USEC_OFFICER]

We'll see... You'll all see... Probably not, though if I'm cruel it'd be with controlling the monsters. Not punishing you for being unlucky and rolling a 1.

[Varee]

well i want to try the pre made character is that ok?

I might join in with this, actually. No promises, though... time zones are a bitch. Also the last thing I need is another major time sink.

I know the 3.5e rules fairly well, but I've only skimmed the basic 5e ones. In other words, should be fun!
