So after a long time of me Dming D&D, or playing L5R, my wife has stepped up and started running our group through the Savage Tide adventure path! It's going to be every two weeks for now, but I'm really looking forward to it: We're playing 3.5 with just a couple very small tweaks (you die at negative hit points equal to your CON, one or two others as they come up). Here's the motley crew, with one more expected to join next time:
Brandt Orozlan, human sorcerer 1 (played by myself): a hedonistic noble, well educated and a natural at most things he puts his mind to. Unfortunately, he often puts that talent towards aggravating or manipulating others. I'm aiming to go into Fiendblooded, and be relatively toolboxy. I am planning on taking Scorching spell with a metamagic reducer as well; I just really like the idea of being able to burn a hole through a fire elemental.
Priest Vallon (yes, he looks like Liam Neeson's character from Gangs of New York), human paladin of St Cuthbert 1: Wields a big warhammer and a heavy shield so far (and a moustache of stern authority +3), not sure if there are plans for a prestige class. I'll probably encourage him to take battle blessing at least.
Booker, human rogue 1: This is the man who knows a guy who can get a guy to bring another guy in for the stuff you want. Might be going towards an arcane trickster, probably with wizard...I think?
Griff, human (I know, none of us could say no to an extra feat) cleric of Boccob 1: An entirely new player, seems to be enjoying himself so far. Took the knowledge and Magic domains, don't think we'll worry about a prestige class unless something catches his eye as he gets more comfortable.
Griff and Booker had grown up together, their merchant families business partners. Griff was sent to become a priest when his family was killed by pirates, but recently traveled back to Sasserine and reunited with his old friend Booker. As for myself and Vallon, we managed to encounter each other at one point before being invited to the Vanderborens...
Booker's deed to gain a bit of fame/notoriety was that he managed to sell a ship that technically wasn't his to sell (hence his starting with the Merchant's tongue feat). Griff's player hadn't come up with too much, but ended up going with completing his schooling as a cleric of Boccob with top grades and a mark of distinction. Mine was starting a tavern brawl that spilled into several nearby streets and almost became a full blown riot. Vallon's was to stop said brawl by wading in, cracking a bunch of skulls together, and walloping me unconscious with a massive right hook.
I'll type up the actual adventure after work tomorrow. Hope I can make it entertaining!
