Creamcorn, modding in the Tellah portrait mucked the game up, so I'm just going to have to go with one of the defaults if that's cool with you.

Huzzah! I'll make sure to put up a link in the first post in the paralel LP!

If you don't mind, I'd like to add this fellow to the waiting list:

Name: Bandobras
Race: Male Gnome
Class: Bard (Main), Rogue (2-4)
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Abilities: High Charisma and Dex, Good Intelligence, Average Constitution and Strength, Poor Wisdom.
Height: Tall
Hair: Topknot
God: Garl Glittergold

Concepts:
- Start Rogue, add Bard for Crazy Social and Technical Skills.
- Rogue (2) for Evasion and Sneak Attack.
- Optional Rogue (4) for Uncanny Dodge, Better Sneak Attack, and best Save/BAB for a Rogue dip (Holy Reflex saves. Think of the Evasion! And BAB only 2 shy of a Fighter at 8th Level!)
- Ignore the Light Armor casting penalty. Chain Shirt + Caster!
- Weapon of Choice: Heavy Crossbow + Rapid Reload + Point Blank Shot + Precise Shot (+ Sneak Attack)
- Secondary Weapon: Short Sword + Weapon Finesse (+ Sneak Attack)
- Plays the biggest dang horn you can find.

Best game ever.

When you start the LP, are you going to be narrating as your character?

Yeah. I'll be posting updates in a few hours, I appear to have broken something.

And since the first few who signed up are mostly casters, we will have casualties. >:D

It's the Temple of Elemental Evil, there are always casualties.


Wait, TOEE is the really brutal one right?

Well, no D&D is brutal if you tweak and cheap your way through which ends up not being fun.

D&D is a game you have to "roleplay", not "rollplay".

It had better be something embarrassing!

It is pretty embarassing.

Party Time!
(One of the cooler parts of this game is the fact that anything you can equip will show up on your character's model except for bracers, amulets, and rings.)


Piper

"Hi! I'm your intrepid leader! I'm the only one who can use a sword in this entire party! Take that, phallic symbolism!"
Equips: Bastard Sword, Chain Mail, Cloak


Ochita!

"No time for talk. More time for punching."
Equips: Clothes, Cloak


Nernas Desolute

"Did someone say, 'Burning Hands'?"
Equips: Quarterstaff, Robes


Urist McAntistereotype

"Why would I have a Scottish accent, you ignorant bigots? And what the hell is 'Scotland' anyway?"
Equips: Longspear, Hide Armor


Huge Head

"I AM INHERENTLY SUPERIOR TO ALL OF YOU."
(No kidding. Huge Head has the best stats, you have no idea. The BEST.)
Equips: Crossbow, Bolts, Wizard Robes


Buuwhatawhat?

"Hello! Would you like to hear a song?
Equips: Chain Shirt, Rapier.
(Halflings. He's so small he's literally wielding that rapier as a two-handed sword. The hell.)



I foresee difficulties in the immediate future. Ochita and Piper will have to play the party tanks so that the two casters can deploy their pitiful first-level spells. Urist is at least capable of healing anyone who gets hurt, and can Produce Flame, which is a potentially nasty spell in this game especially combined with the Longspear. The two casters are going to become unstoppable if they survive. If they don't... well, we tried.

Okay, so apparently the hack that lets you have up to six party members also makes it impossible to access the character roster at the inn. Specifically, because the game crashes.

We're going to have to cut someone out and limit the party to five. Who volunteers?

A quick trip to the moathouse should weed someone out.

I'm actually thinking of tackling the Deklo grove first. Those giant spiders are even worse than the initial frogs.

Weird. In my playthrough with the CoE hack, I can access the character roster, and have up to 6 members. It only shows 5 in the roster screen, but they're all there. You may want to reinstall the stuff if you want a 6 member party.

I can gambol around with six characters, yeah, but it's been crashing consistently. I'll try a reinstall.
