Core class battle

[Pegasos989]

Damn, I tried to resist BUT I CAN'T!

Apus Barbarian.

[StickMan]

Wait do you mean you want to be the barbarian. I'll put you down for it till you say other wise.

[Leush]

Could I go with Bard, or is it already taken?

[StickMan]

Bards all yours.

[Lord Lorac Silvanos]

Barbarian:Pegasos989
Bard: Leush
Cleric: Rigeld2
Druid:The_Werebear
Fighter: Stickman
Monk:Falconsflight
Paladin:
Ranger:Draz74
Rogue:
Sorcerer:
Wizard:

[Jade_Tarem]

Wizard for me, or sorcerer if someone really, really wants to play wizard.

Could I specialize by any chance, say, gnome illusionist? Just a thought.

Barbarian:Pegasos989
Bard: Leush
Cleric: Rigeld2

Monk:Falconsflight
Paladin:

Rogue:

Wizard:

I find it a bit amusing that sorcerer and wizard (two full casters) are last ones to be taken, along with rogue (possibly the only core noncaster which is normally seen as good class even if going straight 20). :D


BTW, What stat generation will we use? 25-32 pointbuy is okay, elite array is okay... The original is SO favouring monks, paladins and melee clerics that I would like something else. Besides, such rolls are not coming up too often (lowest one 10, then we have 18, 2x 16...)

[StickMan]

Ok i'm putting you down for wizard Jade_Tarem. Feel free to specialize, that is with in the rules.

[Jade_Tarem]

Someone mentioned the "stickman" array, whatever that is.

I haven't used this forum to play before, anything I should know or will it be kinda like other pvp? I hope not... pvp never ends well for my group. I still couldn't resist...

Where's the built in die-roller?

Edit: Thanks, Stickman. Are we just starting when everyone signs up?

[Bobbis]

If monster races are allowed; rogue, otherwise I'll take the sorc.

[StickMan]

Stickman array was somthing crazy I came up with but I took it off. You can find the info on the die roller In Site issues.

Now I'm off to do a paper and will not be able to cheak in for a few hours. Well I may take a break or two.

[ken-do-nim]

Leush took the bard. Sorry I wrote this when Lord Silvanos was asking who would play the remaining ones. I was gonna jump in, but I think time is a consideration so I'll pass.

[Pegasos989]

Will we know what the field looks like before submitting characters (I hope not, as that allows some sort of dark maze-like area)? And will the DM design it?


I think that stickman mentioned that he would design it himself, but I am kinda against that. I do trust that you won't purposefully use it to your advantage but you would propably think like "I think that the terrain should make this tactic viable" and that way kinda give yourself benefit you might otherwise have or then not. Also, if there is some mazy place, a player knowing it would be kinda... :P


(Also, do we have any great opposition to 32 pointbuy here?)

[StickMan]

If you guys want we could have Lord_Silvanos or a none partial 3rd party make it. My origial plan to make it was to work on it with Lord_Silvanos, but you do have a point that I may even supconiously biais.

I would like include though my origianl Charater idea has not changed scence last night when I was planing to just run a flat map. But once more you do have a good point.

If any one is reading this and would like to make a map who is not playing then what we would like for the map would be a large room/staidum, walls and or trees to take cover by and some kind of cave or stucture to take cover under so as to not have to always worry about fly mages with fireballs (I like the cave idea). If we get more than one vote we can put it up to a general vote as to which to use or leave it up to Lord_Silvanos. If you make a map plz PM it to Lord_Silvanos.

[Leush]

To be fair, it would be nice to have one stat over 15... Although, I suppose it doesn't matter much, because if one guy's weaker, so is everyone else.

[Lord Lorac Silvanos]

(Also, do we have any great opposition to 32 pointbuy here?)

We will look into it when all slots are filled and see what the contestants prefer.

32- point
28 - point
25 - point
Elite array

I do not think there is any strong bias and all four are described in the DMG.

[The White Knight]

Barbarian:
Bard:
Paladin:
Rogue:
Sorcerer:
Wizard:

I'd consider trying a Paladin for this. I've always wondered exactly how well a core Paladin would measure up to the others.

*coughs* :P

[Lord Lorac Silvanos]

*coughs* :P

I apologize.

Only Rogue is available now.

[Draz74]

Anyone want to be my second to help me with running the duels once I build the Ranger?

Did we decide which races are allowed? (Probably either "PHB only," or "Anything in the MM with a Level Adjustment." Although I could also see melee-types wanting to use the Half-Giant.)

[Hamster_Ninja]

I'll take rogue if no one minds.

[StickMan]

I apologize.

Only Rogue is available now.

That realy is my falult more than your. You had not even offered to DM when he had posted. I just forgot to put it up but fixed now.

Hamster_Ninja I'm putting you down for rogue.

Oh hey all class filled up. Now we just have to work out the rules, map, charater creation and times people are avalibe.

Now back to my paper.

[Lord Lorac Silvanos]

Great then we have the following contestants:

Barbarian:Pegasos989
Bard:Leush
Cleric:Rigeld2 (Indifferent)
Druid:The_Werebear
Fighter: Stickman (32)
Monk:Falconsflight (Elite)
Paladin:The White Knight
Ranger:Draz74
Rogue: Hamster Ninja (Indifferent)
Sorcerer:Bobbis
Wizard:Jade_Tarem

Since this is a Battle of the Core Classes I suggest we stick to PHB races.

Which stat-generation do you, the contestants, prefer?


32- point
28 - point
25 - point
Elite array



PM sent to all contestants who has not chimed in on stats yet.

[StickMan]

I vote for 32 point buy.
Only people Playing or DMing may vote. (Well you can't vote if your not playing your vote just does not count)

[Rigeld2]

Point buy doesn't matter to me. Some one else pick - I'll abstain.

[Hamster_Ninja]

I also have no preference, and also much ask a question- Are we using average hp?

[Lord Lorac Silvanos]

Max HP for 1st level
Avg for the rest

[Deepblue706]

I may not be a participant, but I have this to say:

25 point-buy is "elite" for "elite NPC". This is your Knight-Captain helper guy, the High Preist of (whatever), the "Old Man In The Woods", and so on. I think what you guys are looking for is 28 or 30 point buy.

[StickMan]

Ok I forgot about Subraces. I think some would be too powerful for this style of play, so were going to take this back to just PH.

[Rigeld2]

Also - Leadership - nixed?

Average for d8, d10, and d12 is 4.5, 5.5, 6.5?

[Lord Lorac Silvanos]

Also - Leadership - nixed?

Average for d8, d10, and d12 is 4.5, 5.5, 6.5?

- Agreed on both counts, this is about the classes not about helpers.


- Only PHB races allowed.
