More about Richard:

      A demented necromancer who enjoys nothing more than the wholesale slaughter of all around him, he keeps few friends; although those he does keep he is exceedingly protective of, despite the fact that they may not be in danger when he chooses to intervene.

Also, I've never played a wizard, so the sheet confuses me: Since I specialized, am I restricted to only using Necromancy spells, or can I prepare others as well?

EDIT: I forgot, I spent my money based on objects listed in the SRD site, not the character genner. Here's all the stuff I spent:

I don't think you can adventure with Leafsnail's dwarfadin, though.

[Leafsnail]

Curse the RNG and my not reading the Paladin page carefully enough.

And 5hp?  Jesus.  Even my awfully constructed pally has 4x that.

Erm, will my Super Virtuous Pally try to kill his Mega Evil Necro?  Hmm... might need to reconsider my choices.

[Vester]

You could always play as a http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KnightTemplar (link for people who do not know the dangers of TvTropes).

That way you could consider his Mega Evil Necro a means to an end. Like fighting fire with fire. Except here it's fighting evil with evil.

No, I'm pretty sure there'll be fire involved. The first one was fine.

[Leafsnail]

Yeah, sounds good.  Fine with resurrections and stuff as long as they destroy the vaguely defined evil we're fighting against.  Paladins have to be Lawful Good, right?

And by the way, the logic for my choice was as follows...

1. I'm new at this.
2. Therefore I'll suck.
3. Therefore I'll take lots of damage.
4. Therefore I'll need lots of hp and stuff to stop me dying quite as quickly.

And... that's about it.

[CJ1145]

If you prefer, I rolled a boring, un-slaughtery paladin.

More about Ael'Anon:

      A Paladin committed to the preservation of all good, he is kind and friendly to those he meets, and is perhaps too trusting of those around him; even those who are unmistakably evil.

[Leafsnail]

I'll stick to my poorly made one, thanks.  It may be crap, but it's mine .

[Vester]

Yeah, sounds good.  Fine with resurrections and stuff as long as they destroy the vaguely defined evil we're fighting against.  Paladins have to be Lawful Good, right?

3. Therefore I'll take lots of damage.
4. Therefore I'll need lots of hp and stuff to stop me dying quite as quickly.

And... that's about it.

The thing about paladins is that RP'ing them is essentially the difference between RP'ing Qui Gon Jinn and Mace Windu. Some might bend the rules in name of good, and some are just all murderdeathkill all over the bad guys, even when doing so is in direct contradiction of their own rules. (Episode III was a car wreck for me.)

What? No, I meant for me to play. But I think I'll probably stick with Richard.

More about Galali Anjoga

 A wanderer for most of his life, Galali spent a lot of time in the mountains, and got quite friendly with the dwarves, and quite hated by the goblins, by helping the dwarves defend against the the goblins.

He spends quite a lot of his time with animals, and wants to raise one to fight by his side one day. He is not, however, very wise, and will occasionally charge ahead without thinking.

Yes, a fighter with a greatsword.
I've just realized I got a shield, whoops, don't need that. I've changed it for a sling, and some bullets.

[Neruz]

Ok, had a go at making a character.  Rolled like you said, with 3d6, but I'm 95% sure I got something else badly wrong (probably the equipment - I just sortof guessed for it.  Feel free to suggest changes if I've taken too much of it or buggered something else up).  Never mind, here's what I got.

More about Lafsor:

      A short stocky dwarf with lots of wild red hair. Known for fighting to the death for his undescribed God.

How is he 'known for fighting to the death'? Done it alot has he?

By the way, you're going to want a 14 in Wisdom to cast all the Paladin spells, unless you're willing to start with an 11 in Wisdom and just boost it at every available opportunity.

[Vester]

Maybe... maybe he used to do it before he got picked up for the order? Whichever Paladin order this is.

More about Galali Anjoga

 A wanderer for most of his life, Galali spent a lot of time in the mountains, and got quite friendly with the dwarves, and quite hated by the goblins, by helping the dwarves defend against the the goblins.

He spends quite a lot of his time with animals, and wants to raise one to fight by his side one day. He is not, however, very wise, and will occasionally charge ahead without thinking.

Yes, a fighter with a greatsword.

Awesome archetypes are awesome.

Someone's going to make a Dwarven Ranger with Racial Hatred: Elves, probably.

[Neruz]

Yeah, sounds good.  Fine with resurrections and stuff as long as they destroy the vaguely defined evil we're fighting against.  Paladins have to be Lawful Good, right?

And by the way, the logic for my choice was as follows...

1. I'm new at this.
2. Therefore I'll suck.
3. Therefore I'll take lots of damage.
4. Therefore I'll need lots of hp and stuff to stop me dying quite as quickly.

And... that's about it.

The thing about paladins is that RP'ing them is essentially the difference between RP'ing Qui Gon Jinn and Mace Windu. Some might bend the rules in name of good, and some are just all murderdeathkill all over the bad guys, even when doing so is in direct contradiction of their own rules. (Episode III was a car wreck for me.)

The trick to Paladining is to know the difference between Lawful Good and Lawful Stupid.

[Neruz]

And yes, Paladins are restricted from knowingly associating with Evil characters.


Also, if you really want to be a Negromancer, be a Cleric, not a Wizard. Wizards suck at Negromancery. (it's useful to them as a means to get bodies to perform menial tasks and whatnot if they're planning on setting up shop somewhere, and with the right multiclassing and prestige classing you can get a decent necrowizard going, but the Cleric is far superior in almost all respects.)

I can point you to some wonderful guides on how to be a Negromancer and not suck big hairy gorilla balls, as 3.5 seems to be very carefully crafted so as to provide the illusion of being able to be a competant Negromancer and contribute to the party without actually doing so. The designers were (and still are) very big on playing the good guys, and they never really liked giving people bad guy options (as shown by the fact that they generally suck.)

But Negromancery is hard, very hard, i highly reccomend that you do not persue that path until you've gotten a decent mastery of the system. If you're determined though, then know that Negrowizards are basically 'death dealers' in that they throw around lots of nasty death effects and debuffs, but don't expect to command an Undead Army. If you want an Undead Army, you're gonna hafta be a Cleric, at least to start with.
