Ya I am not sure if the horse is a good idea. but my crap weighs so much that i have little choice ether that or pick up a art object/just keep it in gold.

Also now that I am awake I am not sure I want to be a sorcerer. Can I wait for a bit before I make my final decision? Plus now that I look at it I see my skills are messed up if i am going to be a Stranger with the Burning Eyes.

[Grek]

If you are only wanting something to carry your stuff, a mule costs 8gp.
-For 25gp, you can have a mule that has been trained to interact with subjective gravity intellegently.
-For 43gp, you can have an undead mule which is immune to fear and needs not eat. Because it is immune to fear, you can just take 20 on the ride check.

It is perfectly fine if you want to redo your character at this point. You have time.

[Criptfeind]

Yah, going to changing sorcerer for wizard and horse for mule, for some reason I only looked at the donkey. donkeys in DnD suck.

[Criptfeind]

Sorry bout the double post but as this is on the second page I wanted it to be seen.

Can I use the complete arcane book?

[Grek]

Eh, sure. Why not?

[Criptfeind]

Ok I got the new guy. I do not have the accurate stats of the mule because i don't know whether it is a zombie or a skeleton. Also to the other players feel free to use my mule to put your crap on, it can carry 228 as a skeleton or 300 as a zombie.

Mules are sterile crossbreeds of donkeys and horses. A mule is similar to a light horse, but slightly stronger and more agile. Combat A mule’s powerful kick can be dangerous. Carrying Capacity: A light load for a mule is up to 230 pounds; a medium load, 231–460 pounds; and a heavy load, 461–690 pounds. A mule can drag 3,450 pounds. Skills: Mules have a +2 racial bonus on Dexterity checks to avoid slipping or falling.

I think other than the mule it is right.

I think as long as you are semi-open to reason and you will let me implant tracking tumors... devices on you we shall not have to many problems.  . Just don't act to dumb even if you only have six intelligence.

Also that is a good way to make fast characters but it makes some mistakes the main one is it looks weird when posted, you may want to fix it. also you should probably note some where that you have 123 gold left. You may want a ranged weapon to just in case.

[Grek]

I would like to join. I'll have a character up shortly, if that is all right.

Only problem stats-wise I see is that, under Races of War rules, Power Attack is no longer a feat. It's just something you can do, like disarming people. So you will want to choose a new feat. The RoW feats scale to BaB, so a +1 BaB you get something and at +6 you get another thing and so on. It's meant to bring fighter-style character's number/quality of options up to snuff with the +2 spells known per level that a wizard gets.

May I recomend

Spoiler: Whirlwind (click to show/hide)

You are just as dangerous to everyone around you as to anyone around you.
Benefits: As a full round action, you may make a single attack against each opponent you can reach. Roll one attack roll and compare to each available opponent's AC individually.
+1: You gain a +3 bonus to Balance checks.
+6: As a full round action, you may take a regular move action and make a single attack against each opponent you can reach at any point during your movement. Roll one attack roll and compare to each available opponent's AC individually.
+11: Until your next round after making a whirlwind attack, you may take an attack of opportunity against any opponent that enters your threatened area.
+16: As a full round action, you take a charge action, overrunning any creature in your path, and may make a single attack against each opponent you can reach at any point during your movement. Roll one attack roll and compare to each available opponent's AC individually.

or

Spoiler: Horde Breaker (click to show/hide)

You kill really large numbers of people.
Benefits: You gain a number of extra attacks of opportunity each round equal to your Dexterity Bonus (if positive).
+1: Whenever you drop an opponent with a melee attack, you are entitled to a bonus "cleave" attack against another opponent you threaten. You may not take a 5' step or otherwise move before taking this bonus attack. This Cleave attack is considered an attack of opportunity.
+6: You may take a bonus 5' step every time you are entitled to a Cleave attack, which you may take either before or after the attack.
+11: You may generate an aura of fear on any opponents within 10' of yourself whenever you drop an opponent in melee. The save DC is 10 + the Hit Dice of the dropped creature.
+16: Opponents you have the Edge against provoke an attack of opportunity from you by moving into your threatened area or attacking you.

Here he is. If he's too "Oh Jesus, he's going to get us murdered" for you, I can whip up something else.

Well, a tad more backstory would be good. That goes for Criptfeind too, by the way.

[Grek]

Also, I would like the players to vote on which plane the group will be starting on:

-A planar bubble on the Plane of Fire. It's a orb of rock and atmosphere the size of a small balkan counrty. It is ruled by a representative of the Efreet Sultan. Beyond the planet is an endless void of searing hot, opaque fire, but you aren't expected to go there without protection. The most valuable trade goods are those that are flamable, because only outsiders can even handle them without it catching fire. If the party starts here, they receive a background of their choice.

-Elemental Plane of Earth. You're in one of the mining freeholds. There are a bunch of these freeholds, all run by different planar organizations and the occasional mortal kingdom. All of these freeholds regularly go around fighting eachother over prospecting claims, valuable veins and so forth. If the party starts here, they receive a background of their choice.

-Negative Energy Plane. You've got an empty expanse of endless darkness with little spots of material and light. It's kind of like being in the real world, except you can fly between stars like Peter Pan and zombies will occasionally rain from the sky. If the party starts here, they receive the "Moil Wrought" background from RoW, which makes them get healed/harmed by negative/positive energy as if they were undead.

-Elemental Plane of Water. It's full of water. Some of it is salty, some of it is fresh and some of it is frozen. The Marid Padisha rules over the Marid and is the most powerful individual on the plane, but it's the Sahuagin that do most of the actual ruling of things. If the party starts here, they receive a yet to be named background that allows them to breathe both water and air.

-The Astral Plane. You can teleport to places you've been with an easy wisdom check and to places you've heard about with a somewhat more difficult wisdom check. You also don't need to eat or drink here. The plane itself is full of astral projecting wizards, Illithid and Gith planar fortresses. You could easily sign up with any of these groups. If the party starts here, they receive a background of their choice.

-The Elemental Plane of Air. An infinate expanse of air with floating rocks and cloud cities in it. Some of these rocks have nests of birds and some of the cloud cities are full of cloud giants. The Djinn are the Genies of this plane and they are actually pretty nice. So nice in fact that if the party starts here, they receive a free magic carpet or flying mount each.

-Positive Energy Plane. At any given time, half the plane is really nice to people and constantly heals them. The other half is being wracked by a Positive Energy Storm, which will fill anything that's alive with so much positive energy that it literally explodes. Most people are nomadic and just leave whenever an Energy Storm is coming through. The plane is also full of Ravids and random animated objects. Some of these are even tame and work for tinkers or for the native nomads. If the party starts here, they receive a background of their choice.

[CJ1145]

The plane of Air sounds boring, but still, flying mounts...

Either Air or Earth has my vote.

[Criptfeind]

I want the Negative Energy Plane or the Elemental Plane of Earth, so I will vote for whichever one of them gets the most votes.

Also I was waiting to see where and how we start before I wrote my back story, I think now I will write a couple and give out what ever one is more appropriate. Also I have to reread all the K supplements, an enjoyable task to be sure.

[Grek]

Still need at least 2 more people.

[MrRoboto75]

I'll try to join.

I'd like to use the Tome of Magic for my character class.  I have a pdf on hand if you need it. I'll work on it on Monday.
EDIT:Nevermind the book, the the class' magic does not function on the inner/outer planes. Oh well.

Please elaborate on how Synric works.

[Criptfeind]

Ok I am not a very good writer but I made a small back story for Urten. Also I changed his feats to fit better (coff more powers coff).

Spoiler: Urten's back story. (click to show/hide)

Once open a time, there was a small human kingdom on the elemental plane of earth. This kingdom was near a small dwarf kingdom and there was much prosperous trade and mutual protection packs. This story is not about the diplomatic relationship of two insignificant kingdoms in a infinite plane, it merely starts there.

One day a new diplomat was appointed from the human kingdom to live in the main dwarfen hold. This human had spent much of his life researching and befriending the dwarfs, indeed they even gave him a honorary dwarf name, Azlond or Rock friend in the common language for the rest of his life he would be known by that name. This story is not about some minor diplomat that was liked slightly more than average by the people that he was to keep ties with, but whit out him there would be no story.

This story, as many story's do started with a cry. The human diplomats wife was expecting a baby any hour now and the cry meant that it was finally time. The diplomat ran to the room where a dwarfen midwife was holding up to the light a small child, a boy woefully small and pitiful looking was crying in her arms. This story is about him.

Azlond-ten, as he was called in his childhood. Did not have a very happy first years. At the age of three his mother died, his father distraught over the death of her became cold and distant from his son, perhaps he saw Azlond-ten as an unhappy reminder of his dead wife, but at any rate he no longer was the loving father he once was. At the age of five he started seeing images in the fireplace and the water bowl, anyone who knows anything about magic would have tested him, but alas his father was ignorant of all magical knowledge and so though Azlond-ten was making up childish games, and when Azlond-ten insisted his visions were true his father beat him soundly and forever isolated his own son. By the age of seven he had came to understand what the occurrence meant, a decided to try to become the greatest mage in the history of the world, a childish dream to be sure but something he was determined to do. By the age of ten he was spending all the time he could in the library devouring book after book on any thing that had to do with magic. He eventually gained the courage to sneak into the forbidden section of the library, where only mages and apprentices where allowed to go, he reasoned if there is any where to learn about magic it would be there.

It is the middle of what passes for night in subterranean realms when Azlond-ten made his move, using a stolen library key he let himself in and hurried though the abounded building over to the forbidden section. It amazing books upon books about magic, not only the theory or story's but real useable magic, he skimmed though several books before garbing one and siting on the floor to read it. The books amazed him, it told him the exact steps needed to pull the forces of magic up from him self and even had some example spells in it! He know that he had to try a spell right then so he emptied his pockets of the things he had filched over the past several week in preparation to this day. A pinch of this, a dash of that and he started the ritual, he started to pull power up and concentrate it, it was exhilarating, the best feeling he had ever had. As he was reveling in it he realized that more and more power was coming up, soon he would not be able to control it! He started to panic and released the power, a great wave of flame caught several books setting them alight and panicking him even more. He was trying to put out the fire when a great coldness washed over him putting out the books and making it so he could barley move. He slowly, agonizingly turned his head and saw a dwarf in the regalia of a wizard looking at him, he was caught!

At first the dwarf was angry, very angry. The dwarf demanded to know why this urchin had suck in to the forbidden section of the library in the middle of the night. Azlond-ten to terrified to lye spilled the entire story, he told of the visions he had seen, and his vow to become the best mage in the world. The dwarf grew less angry as the story went by, and, by the end of it he was smiling. The dwarf asked if he truly meant to be the best mage in the world, and with all the defiance he could muster Azlond-ten gave the affirmative. The mage, to the great astonishment of Azlond-ten told him that then he would need a master to teach he the ways of wizards, and even more amazingly the dwarf declared that this mentor would be himself. This marked the beginning of the happiest time in Azlond-ten life since his mother died.

For the next eight years  Azlond-ten was the pupil of Bolral The dwarf wizard. He spent much of his time in Bolral's family home learning how to channel, control, and use his magics. But  Azlond-ten was impatient, he tried to delve deeper and deeper in to magics that he was not ready for.  Bolral warned him against dabbling in the darker magics and for a time Azlond-ten listened to him. But  Azlond-ten found the temptation to learn to powerful and soon was sneaking in to the forbidden section of the library to research dark magics. He found a book that described necromancy and the powers of the soul. The pull of power was to much for  Azlond-ten and he started delving deep in to the magics of necromancy and the forbidden arts. He read of great necromancers of the past and he imagined himself following in their footsteps. He was caught by a apprentices working evil magics on the corps of a bird, and on that day him world came tumbling down.

Azlond-ten waited in his room for what seemed like hours, he waited for the counsel to decide his punishment, death was what the law said a wayward mage will get but surly the son of the ambassador would get off lighter? After what seemed like agonizing hours there was a knock on him door, it opened to revel  Bolral, with a dire frown on his face. He told the shocked youth that the sentence had been pasted down and it was death. Azlond-ten asked how his father would allow this, Bolral replied with great sadness that Azlond was invited to the counsel and was even given a vote, but he had given the tie breaker vote for  Azlond-tens death!

Bolral told Azlond-ten that he had come not to kill him but to give him a chance. Bolral secreted  Azlond-ten of the hold and give him supplys and a mule.  Azlond-ten left in the cover of darkness cursing dwarf, cursing the apprentice that caught him, but most of all cursing his father. He pushed his mule until it died, he knew that whith out a mule to carry his supplys he would not make it, so he prayed, he had not the power nore the supplies, but something, or some dark one, was with him, to his surprise the bird he was working on flew to his side, how it found him he did not know, it poured energy in to him. To his surprise the mule lurched upwards in a simi-balance of life and carried on. There was a great price though, part of him died then fusing him forever to death and the bird.  Azlond knew then that he was no longer Son of Azlond, but he was now Urten, Son of Death!

Edit: Also do you have a problem with us (or at lest me) being evil? I assumed that it was no prob because you put up the K supplements, but I though I should ask.

And is my back story sufficient for the Refugee background? I don't think so but I though I would ask. (assuming that we don't start on the negative energy plane.)

For the group: If we are evil than I suggest we start in the negative energy plane to get the delicious easy healing that good partys get. If we are not evil than I think we should not start there. (Alignment of the party in this case means alignment of the cleric if we have one.)
