Wait, does that mean I'm too late for the first batch? I was just about to hammer out my character sheet.  :-X

I'm not on the list? I expanded on my class like you asked.

HailFire: Not sure, I might allow a larger starting group. You can always sign up as a migrant either way.

KaguroDraven: You're in, I just never updated the first page. I'll likely be doing so shortly.

Alright, so here's a problem:

I've got a few characters done. Several more still need clarification.

I would like to make sure everyone's alright with their characters (RAM's is sort of assumed to be arrogant, aloof, and imperious, for instance), but I sort of don't want to ruin the surprise.

What do you guys think I should do?

On second thought, I'll have my character up tomorrow morning-ish. It's nearly midnight here and I need to let the ol' creatibatteries recharge.

can my book be a "tool" for learning? or do you want something like a scythe or plow? Unless its having a cow that you object to? I was trying to count my cow as a portable ration with an intent to milk it. or do you want me to just take plump helmets?

I'm not sure "learning" is a real skill, but yeah, you could have a book that helps you with rituals or research or something. Make sure it's something you could use a skill for.

Food can be anything from your race or class' setting, but it can't be something that's eventually food plus other stuff, like a cow you can milk and then slaughter for more food, hide, and bones.

When asking what we should do do you mean personalities of the characters?
Also, do I need food? Technicly my guy eats souls, I can just find a rat if nessicary, or dead enemies.

If you mean my question, it's sort of a mixture. RAM's is probably the only character that has any implied personality to his abilities, but I'd like to make sure nobody gets anything completely useless or contradictory.

Also, do I need food? Technicly my guy eats souls, I can just find a rat if nessicary, or dead enemies.
Yeah, you need normal food and sleep and so on. It's a lot easier to normalize everyone, instead of worrying about all this odd trivia, like what exactly someone needs to eat.

However, in this particular case you do in fact eat souls. They're just not for regular sustenance.


ok change my cow to ..... A barrel of cheese? Do i need to change anything else? What skill should my book teach? like sorcery skill? or do you mean a book on woodcutting that gives me woodcutting bonuses?
Cheese is fine. You don't even really need to specify what kind of food if you don't want to.

I think you're misunderstanding what the book can do. The item you bring has to be a "tool," which is something that enables or improves a skill. An axe is a fine tool, because it can be used to chop trees (Woodcutter skill) or enemies (Axeminotaur skill). In order to count as a tool, a book would need to be used on something that a skill would likely cover. Since it's a book, most likely that'd be some sort of noncombat magic, like divination or raising the dead.

You also still need to specify a class of some sort.

Like most characters of mine this one will be rather lazy at most times and spend alot of time just thinking, about anything that wanders over his mind. Unlike most of them he will greatly enjoy the thrill of combat and beating the bloody hell out of as many people as possible. He don't care much about ranks and will treat both supperiors and underlings as if they where equals.

Does that work?

You've mentioned both your abilities, so I'd say I hit the mark on this one.

I guess I'll just list the ones that are done in the OP, and people can object to them if something's wrong.

Just make the characters up and brace for the whining, it is the only way to be sure...

Indeed. Take a look, I think yours might need some work.

For clarification, your character is generally assumed to be normal unless noted otherwise. RAM's not incorporeal, for instance, except when possessing someone.
