Sure, why not?

Edit:  One question - why do you have a lance?  You're welcome to have it, just come up with a plausible explanation, bearing in mind it can pretty much only be used mounted.

[tehstefan]

Ack, best make my character here quick, spots are filling up fast!

Here he is, equipment-wise.

As for background, I'll get to it after I get back

Spoiler: Backstory (click to show/hide)

 Sven pledged his life to the gods, only after trying most everything else. He was a commoner, to start off with, but his father had been a priest, and his mother a performing girl. He had some talent for preforming, but his mother knew what went on with such likes, and kept urging him to join the church. He didn't really want to, at least not at first, but when your only 8 years old, you rarely get a say in the matter of things.

His first few years in the church were just regular. He was a acolyte, with not much knowledge of the mysteries of the church, but a pair of hands to help, and he got fed. Which was more than some got. It was only by about 11 that they started to take an interest in him as a cleric. He showed signs of good mental abilities, by this point, wisdom starting to show, and his temper was calmed.

So they started to teach him the more arcane secrets of the church, and it was then that he picked his patron saint, a paladin from years ago, who was renown for his devotion, as well as his cleverness and luck. He had more free time at this point, so he spent what time he could reading, or hanging out with the gang. Three years from then, he's become far more versed in the lore of the church, though many mysteries remain to him.

[Jervous]

I'll give this a try I guess, making a character rite naow

[Iituem]

A note for clerics:  The undead are even more mythical than dragons.  Undead raising spells and turning are not presently available to you as a character.

[Akigagak]

Thinking of playing a wizard.

Can I take the Immediate Magic ACF in the second player's handbook?

Not Abrupt Jaunt, that's as broken as all hell, but one of the others.

[Iituem]

Give me a description and I'll see if it's balanced.

[Jervous]

Here's my char, I just added in teh backstory. Tell me if it's okay 

Spoiler: Backstory (click to show/hide)

Rala Matus is a spoiled girl that spends most of her time attending parties and living her life to the fullest because her family is very rich. Her parents, Cervous Matus and Elon Matus, are very successful merchants and own a large estate in town. She basically inhereted their abilities of negotiation, and is been understood as a very diplomatic person for a young girl.

 Her parents were very overprotective, but she always snuck out to her friend's places to hang out. Usually, her parents would prohibit her from talking to these people after noticing them doing something inappropriate.

 As she grew up, she wanted to be a rebel- to get away from her parents and do what she wanted whenever she wanted. She bought a tutor to train her in combat, choosing the falchion as her weapon and training in secret.

 Eventually she started hanging around in a gang, but abandoned most of her secret training and parties, after an almost tragic accident and realizing that maybe her parents were right in trying to protect her. This accident made her lose access to most of her funds, and many friends of hers. The only friends she has now are in the gang.

[Heron TSG]

I'd join if I didn't have to wake up at 3:00 AM to do so. Good luck with this campaign, it's the first I've seen that allows NPC classes.

[Akigagak]

Give me a description and I'll see if it's balanced.

IMMEDIATE MAGIC
Other than having a single additional spell of each spell level, a specialist wizard functions like any other wizard. Your evoker’s fireball spell deals as much damage as that of a conjurer, diviner, or necromancer, and doesn’t look any different. By taking the immediate magic alternative class feature, you gain a useful trick that sets you apart from other specialists. Though giving up your familiar is a hardship, it means you have one less thing to worry about in a fight.

Level: 1st.

Replaces: If you select this class feature, you do not gain a familiar.

Benefit: You gain a spell-like ability that reflects your chosen school of magic. Activating this ability is an immediate action, and you can use this spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to your Intelligence bonus (minimum 1). Its equivalent spell level is equal to one-half your wizard level (minimum 1st), and the caster level is your wizard level. The save DC (if any) is equal to 10 + 1/2 your wizard level + your Int modifier. This is an extraordinary ability. You can’t activate this ability in response to an attack that you aren’t aware of. For instance, if an invisible rogue strikes at you, you can’t activate urgent shield to gain a bonus to your AC against the attack. All effects last until the start of your next turn unless otherwise noted.

To select this ability, you must also choose to specialize in a school of magic. The spell-like ability gained depends on your specialty (see below).

Urgent Shield (abjuration): You create a temporary shield of force that grants you a +2 shield bonus to AC.

Abrupt Jaunt (conjuration): You teleport up to 10 feet. You can’t bring along any other creatures.

Glimpse Peril (divination): You get a flash of foresight into the danger lying in your future. You gain a +2 insight bonus on the next saving throw you make before your next turn.

Instant Daze (enchantment): When an enemy that has HD equal to or less than your wizard level makes a melee attack against you, you can render him dazed (Will negates).
This is a compulsion, mindaffecting ability.

Counterfire (evocation): When a visible enemy within 60 feet targets you with a ranged attack or spell, you can respond with a glowing arrow of force. This requires a ranged touch attack to hit and deals 1d6 points of damage per three wizard levels. Both attacks resolve simultaneously (neither can disrupt the other).

Brief Figment (illusion): You create a figment double of yourself (similar to mirror image). The image lasts until it is struck or until the start of your next turn.

Cursed Glance (necromancy): When a visible enemy within 60 feet targets you with an attack or spell, you can respond with a curse. If the enemy fails a Will save, he takes a –2 penalty to AC and on saving throws.

Sudden Shift (transmutation): You temporarily change your form to grant yourself a climb, fly, or swim speed equal to your current land speed. If you activate this ability during your turn, it lasts until the end of that turn; otherwise it lasts until the end of your next turn.

I'm planning to specialize as a Transmuter.

[tehstefan]

A backstory is up, hope that's what you meant.

[Iituem]

Akigagak and Tehstefan, both of those are fine.  Good work on the backstory, Teh, pretty much exactly what I'm after!

[tehstefan]

Well then, I'd just like to let you know, I won't be able to play the games on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a while. Band related stuff.

[iceball3]

I got a 'Meh'ish backstory written back in my previous post.

[Iituem]

Okay, by my count we are now at at least six characters.  That's PLENTY.  Once everyone's fleshed out their stats and backgrounds, we'll essentially be ready.  I'll provide some basic background, then we can pick a time and day to play.

What sort of day and hours would be ideal?  (GMT if possible, easier for me to work out)

Tomorrow, Friday or the weekend seem fair, given one player can't make Tues/Thurs.

[Akigagak]

Well, Friday evenings (GMT 9pm onwards) is perfect for me.

Also, you'll have a sheet, with no spells yet, soon. Going through my books to look for cool ones.
