Of course I forgot to address that. Give me a moment to think of a good reason. Before I run off and change things I have to ask: Is everything else fine?

Looks fine to me mechanics wise.

Story wise, I can't imagine why your character would even care about people getting slaughtered. As an Evil Anarchist, you probably WANT law and order to collapse, and for chaos to reign. Your story isn't unworkable, but a Neutral Evil character wouldn't care unless there was a lot of money involved. Which there doesn't seem to be.

Mechanically it seems fine.

I'm afraid that I've been rather sick, so I will not be able to finish my character in time for tomorrow. My apologies. I will leave this here for later, so when I feel better, I can finish it.

Grr.

Not enough finished sheets:usec still needs a reason and scriver has no description or back story whatsoever. You've got another six hours to finish a sheet or I'll start regardless, and your character can be a late arrival.

Yeah, I'm obviously struggling with a reason why they'd join the party. Nothing particularly intelligent is leaping out at me right now, sorry about that.

Why not just make him True Neutral, if he's the ultimate pragmatist? The evil alignment is the only thing that doesn't fit.

If you did that, he'd not be a potential party betraying lunatic (cough) and, he'd want to stop the killings because he actually cares about the people he supposedly stands for. Your backstory seems to indicate your character actually does what he does for the benefit of others, no matter how evil, ends justify the means, etc. But, your specific alignment (NE) suggests he destroys things mostly because he likes to, because he enjoys it.

Yeah, changing the alignment would make sense. He could then join the party as the lower classes would likely suffer more monster predation, and he wishes to help them further, as the upper classes aren't doing anything significant about it (from the character's perspective, at least).

Yeah, from a story standpoint, if the rich and powerful folk are finally afraid enough to do something about the monsters, that means the people without armies of guards and palatial estates have likely already been suffering from the attacks-it's just no one noticed or cared until now.

Are we still on track to start today? Three players is good enough.

@Scriver: Btw, I think you get more than 9 HP. :P Might want to adjust your sheet.

Also, it seems our characters are from similar places. I'm not sure if we would have an in-depth background, but I think we would know of each others reputations.

Indeed, I just didn't see an answer on whether or not we roll hp or get the full amount, but I repeatedly forgot to ask this in the thread.

And yes, it does look like we would be familiar with each other, at least by hearsay. Being that Hamelin is a bit older than Unlean Eleen she might not have known of him as something other than a person who puts his nose in other peoples' business, as he was never any bigshot in the underworld and haven't been doing business (on a regular basis, at least) on that side of the law for about 10-ish years or so.

Planned start players:
Dwarmin

Twinwolf

If you want in, better chop-chop.

I... kind of had. I was mainly looking at the sheets, anyway - I'll probably overlook a lot of stuff that isn't on those.

Take average HP.


Keep an eye out for the IC thread, lads!

Scriver seems to have made a much better Rogue than I did, so I'm going to be withdrawing my character so that they can have the last spot. Sorry about that.
