Heh. Just hope we don't run into charmers...

My halfling bard just got charmed a bit ago. She's currently trying to summon a creature to attack the mean people hurting her 'friends', the drow who charmed her. Quite charming really.

Okay so Halfling bard for Solstice. Will update post to show.

[Menelanna]

I second the fact that I hope we do not run into charmers! First my monk gets charmed then Kellen's halfing does. And she is attacking me!

[minotaur_in_maze]

EDIT: CMorgan May I point out that MiM has announced that his minotaur will be a somewhat magish character.

Yeah, I was wanting to do something along the lines of a fighter/mage - with emphisis on Mage. See, minotaurs are powerful as you said, but I know that most here want a moderate compaign...not to mention that *I* am hoping (greatly) for something more than Hack & Slash, y'know, like Roll Playing, questing et' all. (the reason I never did wargaming/warhammer was basically all it is is rolling dice, killing the guy across the table until one is dead... *YAWN.

So, to limit my characters, uhm, natural traits, somewhat, I have come up with a more peaceful introspective member of the minotaur species. A fighter/mage who prefers magik over muscle. (Actually this IS all pending per okay by Our Dungeon Master, but c'mon, this is Roll Playing, right? I'm sure we can work SOMETHING out that everybody can live with, huh?)

Actually, for the last few hours I have been playing with that Generator from the link and come up with a tentative character. PLEASE keep in mind that this might need adjusting, as he might be overpowered - it's been awhile since I did this - Please feel free to tell me what I need to edit down, as I am unsure.

I also used another program to make a portrait for him. Not -Quite- BG2 quality, I'm afraid, but if there are no Strong objections, I rather fancy it.

Let me post what I got for stats and related junk, okay?

More about Drellos (Bio)

Currently on a special quest as Ambassador for the isle of Minos, Underlord Drellos joins the party in search of enlightenment. A pacifist by nature, and a student of advance meditation, Drellos much prefers spellcasting to up close and personal combat. He will fight when he must, though he frequently can be heard trying to engage his foes in the philosophy of non-violence even as he trades sword thrusts or spellstrikes with them.

His dedication to learning the magical arts of the Cleric as well as his talent for crafting armor and weapons have, over the years, caused his physical strength to suffer some ? for a minotaur. Indeed, behind his horns he is slanderously known as timid, though nothing could be farther from the truth. In battle he does well, though often after the battle he will meditate for hours for the safety of his fallen foes in their journey into the next life.

Varia is an eccentric young halfling from the region of Amn. She is devoted to the human god of knowledge, Oghma, and has a zest for learning. Her travels have taken her many places, and she's learned well how to interact with others, her gift for song and basically benign nature serving her well. She has joined the group purely for the thrill of adventure, and the knowledge that one day people will sing tales of her, too. She is impulsive and more than a little lacking in common sense, but her knowledge of history, both local and global, and linguistic expertise should prove assets to the group, as with her natural halfling affinity for sneaking.


// That's my first attempt! I know the character's a little stereotypical, but if I could create a complex character, I'd make a mod. Also, I have no idea if I picked good stats/skills/feats/equipment and everything else, and I picked Varia's languages basically at random.

[Celestine]

Well, I don't mind playing any class, so I'll just fill in the gaps.

[Dark-Mage]

The password for the Classic Dungeons protected forum already being distributed?

[Kellen]

Didn't you get it?

[Dark-Mage]

Nope...

[Kellen]

Weird, he sent it to you from what I can see of the CC. Well I'll send it to you just in case.

Oh. He sent it to Dark Mage instead of Dark-Mage. I do believe they might both be you though.

But yes, I've sent it to Dark-Mage now.

I have it now, and aye - Dark Mage is also me. Made the account before remembering that I already had one here. My bad, and I apologise for the trouble.

[Kellen]

Btw, just a quick question if I may ask. Do you plan on making your Cleric/Wizard a Dweomerkeeper or a Mystic Theurge?

[Dark-Mage]

Playing a Moon elf so Dweomerkeeper is out of the question. So, Mystic Theurge or possible a Lorekeep. Not sure yet.

[Kellen]

Cool. Well good luck with it. I'll work on mine over the weekend, but I'm not sure how much I'll actually get done.

[Dark-Mage]

You playing a wizard as well right? Going for archmage, or any prestiage class for that matter?

[Kellen]

Unsure at the moment. Might do a cleric, that Paladin still wants to go, despite the evils joining us(Possibly fallen and blackguarded once he meets the requirements), and that Druid of Talona might still have fun joining us.

That doesn't take into account the cleric mage(who would become a mystic Theurge) of Kossuth(who's been giving me weird thoughts about refusing to use fire spells because fire is too perfect to be manipulated by magic), and the Abjurer.

We currently have a Wizard(underlord of MiM), a Wizard Cleric, a Bard, A Cleric who might get wizardly since the specialty priest of Savras doesn't exist as such in 3rd ed. I'm not sure another wizard is needed.

[Dark-Mage]

To be honest I'm having second thoughts about all this wizards/spellcasters myself - may try something else. Shall see what characters spring into my mind.

[Kellen]

Well you can certainly keep him/her. If you don't we're back down to one wizard one bard unless something changes.

I'm thinking a smart paladin might be a fun thing to try too. Curse this overflow of ideas.

Greetings,

I have noticed that this campaign doesn't have "game full" written under the title of the thread. Could it be that there is free space for another player?

Or make possibly two?
I think this one is full seeing eight players...
Perhaps it is nice to make a new call to see who is interrested?

I, myself, with my grand 2 posts dare to go, where no newbies went before, and thus,

I'd like to indicate here I would be more than glad to join any sort of play by post event, will it be this, or any other in the near future!
