Ew. 3.0, no splats, and forum based?

I’ll pbum.

Yeah, i was JUST about to say I’d join when i read this, i can live without most of my splats but at the very least i require 3.5 and fantasy grounds.

Thanks for your insightful comments, we’ll never have known you weren’t interested if you didn’t post in the thread.

I know you’re being sarcastic but you’re right, you wouldn’t know, part of a good game(be it D&D, forumwarz or anything in general) is also knowing why people DON’T want to play, I’d much rather 10,000 people say my game sucks bum because of X, Y and Z rather no one say anything.

In other words don’t treat me differently just because i gave feedback, you wouldn’t have acted that way if i had said “gee, i would love to join in but i have college” (which is actually pretty true now that i think about it).

Fair enough, except that posting in an interest check thread to say that you’re not interested is kind of like walking into a pizza shop and ordering a steak. Following the same analogy, “gee, I’ll love to join butI have college” is like walking into the same pizza shop and not having enough money to pay for the pizza: we’ll love to serve you the pepperoni and cheese too, but…

Regardless, my snarkiness was uncalled for. Friends, mmkay? Log in to see images!

...still can’t decide. I tend to decide things quickly when the time comes though, how about we wait until I hit level 5? I’ll get the feel of the character I have already before I try and change him.

Ugh, I messed up with the math for your character, generic. You have a whooping 28 skill points remaining for your guy: I was still calculating you as a level 1 character. Remember, your maximum rank for a single skill is 7, so go ahead and max out some skills if you so desire, or spread them over a wider range.

Also, I’ve no problems with you starting in debt provided you’re willing to dodge loansharks. Log in to see images!

Sorry for screwing up so many people’s skill points. Log in to see images!, you have 22 skill points remaining, and your skills have a maximum rank of 7 at level 4. I’ll advise you to max your Spellcraft, since as a wizard that’s your most important skill: the rest, well, you do as you see fit.

Will my choice of language affect my character later on? And I’m having a little trouble justifying how a former soldier, current mercenary leans Alchemy. 2 ranks should do it, I guess, and the rest… can I put any more points in Intimidate?

Is it just us three for the campaign?

Sabre_Justice Posted:

Dammit man, you are a master at this. Okay, I’ll max out Alchemy, and put the rest in… um… Listen?

And I might wanna switch that to Infernal then, I want to at least try and keep my character sane. If he learns both languages, do they cancel each other out? Log in to see images!

And he may well run into some other old Obsidian Legion members… that ought to be interesting.

Sabre_Justice Posted:

And I presume you mean encountering an old squadmate: Why the hell not? It could be interesting. I can imagine the ‘big bad’ of the campaign having one as an enforcer… thought he could also be a ‘big bad’ himself…

Anyway, start with Infernal, and he might learn Abyssal later.
