I'd like to point out for RP reasons, having human's as a favored enemy might not be the best for someone trying to prove they don't hate humans <-<.

Granted it is like the best to have for the long run.

[Dwarmin]

Actually, I tried to address that point in my backstory, that he found work as a lawful man-tracker instead of a bandit...I guess it might be seen as metagamey, though. Does favored enemy mean you have to hate them as well? I mean, if you guys wanted to take me to the cleaners, just make my favored enemies bandits and criminals.

-History-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Loaw'Kaldaka is Kobold Ranger, long exiled from his home tribe after asking too many questions. He disagreed with his peoples penchant for thoughtless violence and petty destruction-he believed that there must be a better way, and for it, was hounded from his home with stones. A young Kobold on his own rarely lasts long in the wilds, but he was quick-fast enough to survive, and smart enough to keep living. He kept himself fed, at least.

It was an odd fact that the worst threat to him wasn't always wild beasts, or his own clanmates, who would kill him on sight, but local humans, bandits mostly, who thought him easy prey. He had to keep moving to avoid them...he had many clashes with them-one of the crossbows he stole off the body of an unlucky bandit became his favorite.

A few years later, Kald was living off the land by his lone self, when he encountered a group of the soldiers on the roads he called home. In a fit of inspiration, he called out to them in rough common, asking for parley. They didn't skewer right away. In fact, most of them had only a vague idea of what Kobolds were. He spent the next year serving as a sort of handservant to the local Magistrate, learning common and culture.

It took all that time for him to convince them he was no spy. Eventually, he had earned a little bit of money and respect, and became a soldier himself-Kald learned to track and hunt Human poachers, outlaws and bandits during the next five years he served in the local Guard-and the odd fame he brought them for having a Kobold Soldier wasn't bad either, even if he was treated just like a bloodhound that could talk. When he was finally freed from service...well, one could say his real adventure started then.

-Personality-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Loaw'Kaldaka is a fairly serious sort, treating most things that come to him in his own style-carefully. He's fully intergrated into Human society, but still maintains a few habits from his past. He's been insulted and looked down enough he isn't surprised much anymore when it happens-he's likely to stay quiet, take the cheap shots, and hopefully remaing unobserved when in unfamiliar company, preferring to allow his skills with a bow to make their own impression. He has a love of the High Life-good food, good bed and the simple enjoyment of wealth earned fairly. He's makes a habit of honesty and fair play, and expects it from others without having to tell them.

His style of speaking Common is distinctive-he speaks slowly and clearly, and is unflinchingly polite. He is proud of ability to speak it, and believes the gift of speech to be something not squandered on thoughtless words.

Despite his professional skills, he doesn't dislike any other race, in particular, but he does have a grudge against chaos and bandity in thought and deed.

And, he's fairly vain for a Kobold-he prefers himself clean and shiny before he sets out for the day. He's always adjusting something.

Does favored enemy mean you have to hate them as well?

I can't find anything saying so, and not allowing city guards with ranger levels to be masters at hunting down humans wouldn't make much sense, so...no.

[Jack A T]

Dwarmin: We're not using anything from Unearthed Arcana, including traits and flaws.  Sorry.

[Dwarmin]

Oh. Those weren't meant to give me bonuses or anything, I just put them in roleplaying wise. I'll get rid of the stats then.

[King_of_the_weasels]

Maybe I could get this one approved perhaps?

[Jack A T]

No.

[King_of_the_weasels]

I'm gonna take it anyway just not give my self a feat.

[Jack A T]

...Fine.

[Evergod41]

I dont think this thread had been this active since it's creation... even then...

Anyways, just a standard request, we on for tomorrow?

[Dwarmin]

So, what can you guys who have been playing tell me about the campaign? I've read the story. Is it heavy on combat, or more diplomacy/thinking, freeform exploration or more controlled story etc. Do you guys roleplay much in game, or not?

Just fill me in on anything you might need me to know before we start.

[Evergod41]

About 60% or so of the session is spent in combat, the rest is either awaiting or seeking out combat. The only encounter that was avoided with words was the ones with the goblins...
Roleplay as I can tell isn't too heavy, but I try to do so.
As for the opennes, well, seing as he let us not only sell pl0t items, but attempt to start a caravan, I'd say it's pretty open.

[King_of_the_weasels]

So where were you guys last so we can figure out how our characters meet, because if your in town then you'd obviously meet me in a bar, but if you were heading to that elf guy or in some sort of dungeon, I have nothing against being a prisoner.  Hell you could take all my equipment away and i'd have to earn it back piece by piece from some goblins.  Me walking around fighting hand to hand with only one boot on against a gobbo using my other boot as some sort of hand weapon would be fun as hell.

[Evergod41]

For that I don't really know, in fact I'm not even too sure if anything has changed since I was last in a session, as I dont know if they had one whilst I was gone.

No, let's wait for thief's character first.

The party had just saved the goblin chief from orcs.  They haven't even looted the bodies yet.  I'm guessing that they're on their way to the elf guy.
