All the chapters

Yes that many people could be a problem for Korgoth's purse... 8 people (including the donkey) to provide mead for on a regular basis to keep everyone good and hammered every day. We need some arcane caster type to take craft:booze or profession: brewer.

Why an arcane caster? And don't worry, Mrs. Darksbane has her own alcohol. She prefers wine over ale.

---

Also, added Dardiana to my signature. Wow. I'm at the limit of 500 characters (with the coding too) and am trying my best to get more space. I don't think I'll be able to add any other...

[mattie_p]

Grath is present for ... some reason. I claim sienna

[Morbis Meh]

Korgoth claims Navy in the name of Thor! As for the arcane caster taking craft:booze or something to that effect, well they have higher intelligence for the most part and would be better at making it.... though my character could start brewing and just have my mule pull a brewery on wheels wherever we go... Korgoth does no drink ale, he drinks mead

[stanleyindraven]

Horbin, speaking in lime.

[Linguz]

If Korgoth doesn't drink ale, why is his donkey carrying around 4 gallons of it?

Also, Dardiana will be speaking in this color.

[Linguz]

Double post, but to add Mar's first post.

Other Notes: Our premise: You are barbarians. Well, no. You're not Barbarian barbarians, but you dwell in a fairly unlettered and uncouth part of the world. A land where nature and geography has tended to inhibit governmental and cultural progress. Trees grow tall, rivers run free, winters are cold and life is a little dull. Well, when it's not exciting and dangerous.

To the south, the forests get darker, the hills get hillier, and the bears are hungry. If you go far enough south, there's lots of ice. To the west is a vast and hungry ocean. To the east is a shockingly boring steppe populated by shockingly boring and unpleasant people. To the north is a settled and somewhat chaotic...civilization you call The Empire. It's not very Imperial. It's basically a Canada-sized mess of late-medieval early-renaissance Duchies, Baronies, Counties and City-States. You know, standard D&D fare. Your people (who we will call Your People) trade pelts, gems, metals, amber and witty local banter with the local Empire towns in exchange for decent manufactured goods and fancy toys. It is extremely common for the more adventurous of Your People to travel north to try to make their fortune here. Hint hint. Sometimes they even come back.

According to those that have, to the north and east of The Empire, beyond a gigantic mountain range, is another civilization called The Republic. It's not well-liked. Chattel slavery is the basis of the economy and nobody wears enough clothing.

North of The Empire and west of The Republic is a tangled mess of minor kingdoms who are always at war. Sometimes with each other. They are sometimes called the Free States, although they are generally quite expensive. North of them, beyond a fair amount of sea, is a desert continent loaded with the ruins of a thousand fallen civilizations. It is called The Union. Its remaining dusty cities keep their economies afloat fleecing visiting adventurers who come to "explore".

On a set of large islands out in the western ocean is another civilization. One with a reputation for secrecy, opportunism, and sorcery (and wizardry, and clerickry, and warlockery, and stuff). It is called The Administrate. If The Republic is not well-liked, the Administrate is feared. They noun your verbs.

Your People worship the Greyhawk and Asgardian pantheons, The Empire the Greyhawk pantheon, The Republic the Olympian Pantheon and The Union the Pharoahic. The Administrate has its own set of gods of whom little is known other than that it seems to consist largely of young women with martial weapons and reassuring titles like The Bringer of Silence.

But, all that is far in your futures, as you band together just outside your village, and debate where to go, what to do, and even who you are.

So we no longer need to go back to the other thread for it. With the last piece, I take it we decided to group together and leave the town.

[Marlowe]

You don't have to come from the SAME village. You're in Whitewater Rip, it's close to the coast (though not actually coastal) and also on one of the better trade routes to the Empire. It's a logical place for people on the move...elsewhere to end up.

It's in the north-western corner of Your People's territory. We'll get some more expospeak before long. I'm working on a map, but I'm reduced to using a Chinese version of MS paint, so it's a bit demoralising.

[Morbis Meh]

Because they don't have mead listed in the PHB.... I am just refluffing it tis all

[Linguz]

Then why not put 'mead'?

Alright. I'll wait for the expospeak.

If it is really bad (or demoralising enough), you could use google documents instead. Might not be much better, but I don't know. Here's an example of a map I made, and am making, for a solo campaign with a friend.

[Morbis Meh]

Then why not put 'mead'?

Though, I prefer vodka, so I'ma change wine to vodka...

I didn't put mead down because our DM may wonder where I got that from since it is not in the books and doesn't have a price, now that the game is starting I shall change it.

[Linguz]

Fair enough. On a sidenote, changed my mind. So, is anyone gonna take any item creation feats?

[mattie_p]

Barbarians can't take item creation feats, so you'll be out of luck if you count on me.

[Linguz]

Unless... are you a wizard barbarian?

[Corsair420]

I haven't read the IC thread yet, but I always find it best to have a Link to the other thread in each(look to OOC in IC and link to IC in OOC) Also having a list in the OOC thread of all the character sheets so we can refer to them easily, I migth edit this after reading the Ic thread


Oh yea, Marn Claims Green for his color

[Linguz]

At your suggestion, I have put a table into my first post. Just look right below the first post on this thread.

[mattie_p]

Unless... are you a wizard barbarian?

I already said I'm not Korg the Magical.

[Linguz]

I'm not talking about Kord. I was talking about a barbarian who has dabbled in magic.

[mattie_p]

I guess its possible, but int of 12 won't take me very far. I think Grath will stick with "hit things very hard in various ways."

[Linguz]

That's better than the average orc. Just get a necklace of intellect (or anything of intellect) and you'll be good.

[Morbis Meh]

I smell the beginnings of a Rage Mage....

[mattie_p]

Incidentally, and totally unrelated to whether or not I will be become a rage mage, are there multiclassing penalties? And now that the game has begun, are we still restricted as to sources?

[Corsair420]

I need to get my dnd books back I wsa thinking about a Rage Mage as well, and by that i meant i wanted to look at them, not necessarily take the class

[u-b]

Gregor McAlister

Will use gray color.

[RaggedAngel]

Delphi will speak in Navy, if that suits everyone. I'm really looking forward to this game, everyone, and I look forward to having a great time with you all.

[u-b]

I was peeking at everyone's sheets (well, better late than never) and see a few things worth clarifying, namely:

1. Delphi Fallios seems to have much less than 300gp worth of equipment+gold
2. Marn Ortul is listed as a Conjurer (spec. wiz., right?) but seems to have only 2 first-level slots (he should get one extra spec slot). Also, not sure if his prohibited schools and spellbook's contents are listed anywhere.
3. Really, Marn Ortul could buy quite a lot of 1-st level spells for his 244gp. Not sure why he does not spend at least part of that.
4. Korgoth probably should list remaining money (there should be some).

Sorry I already called navy...

Really feel stupid not noticing all this. Well, at least we know where Dardiana and Delphi are. The Elf's teaching the Halfling how to shop.

[Corsair420]

as per the variants I took I lose that bonus spell slot for I think its the variant that lets me spontaneous cast any summon spells, as I dont have the book anymore I can't look to be sure, but its one of the 3 variants in UA. As for not spending my money, I'm actually new to playing a wizard, usually I play other casters that dont use spell books, and I don't need any other spells rigth this minute, I can always buy them later when the need arises

[mattie_p]

In that case you are the spontaneous summoner:

Spontaneous Summoning (Ex)
Conjurers using this variant can "lose" a prepared spell to cast any summon monster spell of a lower level. For example, a conjurer who has prepared greater invisibility (a 4th-level spell) may lose that spell to cast summon monster I, summon monster II, or summon monster III.

A conjurer using this variant does not gain additional spells per day for being a specialist wizard.

Note: Since conjurers using this variant obviously summon monsters frequently, the game master should require the conjurer's player to prepare simple record sheets ahead of time for each monster that the character commonly summons. It is also important to emphasize speedy play on the part of the conjurer and his summoned monsters.
