Old Ways OOC III

[Kish]

Hey guys. Due to some unexpected real life circumstances I find myself with a sudden lack of both time and energy for the foreseeable future. Because of that I sadly will have to drop out of the game. Really sorry about that. I very much enjoyed playing and hope that you can find a quick replacement. Take care and have fun!

Sorry to hear that. Good luck.

Hello! I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you're not playing a cleric!

[Gwendol]

Is it <=6 or strictly <6? If the latter then I guess my first set of scores are admissable.

Hello! Yeah, with these rolls I don't quite know what to play! A redshirt maybe

[Koren n'Rhys]

Second set is a decent M-U.

Welcome aboard!

[Gwendol]

Thanks! Ok, if that's admissable I'll start on the sheet. M-U it is!

Name: Athos the frail
Class: Magic User

Alignment: Neutral

Description:

Athos is a frail young man of poor constitution, but a bright mind. Despite his physical shortcomings he has a positive and optimistic outlook on life. Dressed in a simple, but well made and clean robe he considers himself ready to venture forth in this world, armed only with his wits and his mostly empty spell-book.

History:

Hailing from a family of masons, Athos was from an early age deemed to frail to carry on the business, and was instead sent to assist a local scribe. Despite being nearly killed by illnesses while growing up, which left him frail, and suffering from fits of dry cough, he learned to read and write well, and showing aptitude for the intellectual endeavours of magic he was eventually offered the place as a Wizard's apprentice (Lorentus the Brown). Having passed the examinations of the apprentice magic user, Athos is now eager to prove himself in the real world.

In the rules it says the DM provides the first spells, but I took the liberty of picking two. If you want me to change them please let me know.

I need to work on the equipment list, and figure out a bonus language. Any suggestions?

Edit: Also, I have trouble finding the rules for using skills and bonus skills based on INT (it is mentioned, but not referenced). Please give me some suggestions for suitable skills since my knowledge of where you are and the dangers you are facing is very limited.
Could I have a link to the IC thread?

We've encountered Orcs, Kobalds, Goblins - I think, Centaurs, Troll, Elves, Dwarves, Giants, and other non-sentient beings, etc...
I don't have any suggestions for a language, but if you think a certain enemy race would be useful to speak and negotiate with or trick, then that might be a good language to pick.

Page 82 of the Rules Cyclopedia has a list of skills for you to choose from.

[Gwendol]

Ok, I think I'm done now. When/how do I join the party?

[Roland St. Jude]

One of your first level spells needs to be Read Magic.

But your next task will be to level up to level 3. Choose whatever spells or skills you'd like. Set your XP at the minimum needed for level 3.

You'll meet up with the party in Verge, which will probably a few days in RL time.

[Frivolous]

Hope you enjoy the game, Gwendol.

Roland: May I ask if the wand of paralyzation remains with us?

[Roland St. Jude]

Hope you enjoy the game, Gwendol.

Roland: May I ask if the wand of paralyzation remains with us?

Yes. For now, Dural remains with you, too. When he leaves at Verge, he'll leave the wand with the Companions.

[Roland St. Jude]

I moved things along a bit. If anyone has anything they want to do on the evening of night five or during the day on day six, just say so OOC.

Besides healing everyone up to full hit points, nothing I can think of.

[Gwendol]

HP (1d4)[1]
HP (1d4)[1]

Minimum will be 1 hp per level, in case the roll above is negative.

[Gwendol]

I think I'm ready for play now.

[Matthew]

Welcome, Gwendol! Definitely somebody to keep away from combat, then!

[Gwendol]

Yup, I'm a true one hit wonder...

[Koren n'Rhys]

Lol. Sorry about those roll, Gwendol. Unfortunately, you seem to roll as badly for hp as I have been. Still, it fits your backstory doesn't it!

[Gwendol]

My guess is we'll soon be needing a replacement in the arcane department...

[Kish]

With 5 Constitution, the two 1s don't actually matter--all that matters is that they were two not-fours.

Heheh, I second that. I'm awful at putting a good spin on such a statement.
