Alright! While we're waiting for our sixth character, you guys can go ahead and start getting to know each other. Game on!

Uhm... I'm going to assume it's cool to post here on OOC Team Dingo business now.

@ Shades of gray: I was just looking over Durx's character sheet, and it looks like he's 6'11" but only weighs 156 lb. That doesn't seem to make much sense to me, especially since mass increases exponentially with height.

@ ArtifexFelicis: I'm going to have to assume that this is happening after Ulysses and Althea both arrived at the guildhouse, because they reacted to each other as if they'd never seen each other when they first encountered each other in the midst of the spellbook theft fiasco. If they had already met here prior to arriving at the guildhouse, things might have played out differently.

"Theoretically" I would guess this happens before the HQ timeline and is the first time you all meet up, before you are taken to the guild hall for the first time. I wouldn't worry too much about the exact interaction with the HQ timeline. We were asking about that a bit at the beginning of Adder OOC but in the end it didn't really matter.

But if you're worried about it you could say some of the PCs had "unofficially" visited the guild house and met other folks before "officially" joining or something like that.

The important thing is you get a (brief) chance to figure out if your character is going to love, hate, like, tolerate or whatever the other characters within your team without having to fight for space in the HQ thread to chat with / threaten / insult / get drunk with each other.

Question: Is it important that I have a different color for my character's speech? I've noticed that the other two who have posted have done so, so if you guys like, I could alter my post to reflect that.

[Shades of Gray]

Sorry, I'm a teenager with no concept of average weight.

I changed it to 250. Is that good?

Spells prepared:

0: Read magic, Create water, Light, Detect Magic, Detect Poison.

1: Summon Monster 1, Shield of Faith, Magic Weapon, Inflict Light Wounds.

Domains: Destruction, War.

Domain spell prepared: Enlarge Person.

[souldoubt]

Okay, the thing I'm concerned about here is the fact that, if Althea and Ulysses have already met, then there interactions here will be different -- no need for introductions, most notably. However, if this represents their first meeting, then they would have recognized and reacted to each other differently when they encountered each other in the HQ thread. Perhaps I should ignore this entirely and pretend like these events are happening in another dimension or something?

Question: Is it important that I have a different color for my character's speech? I've noticed that the other two who have posted have done so, so if you guys like, I could alter my post to reflect that.

It's a sort of convention on the boards. It makes speach easy to pick out, but it also identifies the speaker. If we identify a particular color with your character, its easier at a glance to tell who's posted/speaking, as well as what's being said and what's just internal monologue or narration. Take a gander at the HQ IC thread if you want to see what others are doing in terms of post-layout.

EDIT
@ Shades of gray: Sorry, forgot to respond to your post. Yeah, 250 sounds a little more in the range of reasonability. Anyone who has a better suggestion, feel free to speak up -- I don't count myself as the best judge of these things.

[Trulhammaren]

Shades: The PHB does a pretty good job of figuring height/weight ratios, but I took a look at it and with your height modifier and average dice roll for the weight it put you at 300 even. So its all a matter of taste, but that would be a pretty good place to go for an average. If you leave him where he is now at 250 he weighs just under my RL weight by about 20 lbs and I'm 6'6, but I'm also a little bit on the stocky side so I'm a bit over average for my height. Plus I do like my grandma's cooking greatly

[DavidByron]

0: Read magic, Create water, Light, Detect Magic, Detect Poison.

1: Summon Monster 1, Shield of Faith, Magic Weapon, Inflict Light Wounds.

Domains: Destruction, War.

Domain spell prepared: Enlarge Person.

You should only have 3 0 level spells, and 3 1st level spells including the domain spell. However neither of your two domains has Enlarge person as a choice.

War domain has Magic Weapon and Destruction domain has Inflict Light Wounds in their 1st level spell slots.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Sorry guys, my bad. I neglected the fact that I told you to post in the Guildhall thread as "prospectives." Go ahead and keep acting in the IC thread the same way you are now - as if you have never met before. The guildhall thread is not really synchronized with the team threads: the stuff that you have already posted there is assumed to happen after you already arrive at the guildhall (which will be in a couple of posts on this Team thread). It takes a little getting used to

[ArtifexFelicis]

I have to get to school right now, but I will post later tonight.

Also, I think the ale thread in question will have saved us. It's the only place so far where Althea came close to raging, and I'm going to try and keep an extremly stark contrast between Ragey Althea and the polite, artistic one that is when she is calm.

[Shades of Gray]

Sorry, I meant the strength domain.

Revised prepared list:

0: Create water, Light, Detect Poison.

1: Summon Monster 1, Magic Weapon, Inflict Light Wounds.

Domains: Destruction, Strength.

Domain spell prepared: Enlarge Person.

[DavidByron]

OK but it's,
"3 1st level spells including the domain spell"

You get one bonus 1st level spell. You get a bonus 2nd level spell too in theory but not until you can cast 2nd level spells.

[Shades of Gray]

Sorry. Never played cleric before. Used to rogues and sorcerers, and I admit, I'm used to the Sorcerer spells per day.

In that case:
0: Create water, Light, Detect Poison.

1: Summon Monster 1, Inflict Light Wounds.

Domains: Destruction, Strength.

Domain spell prepared: Enlarge Person.

Looks like my internet could be spotty over the next couple of days. I'm out of town, and the place I'm staying doesn't seem to like GITP ('cause the site has been so obnoxiously slow lately). Right now I'm posting from a wi-fi hotspot, and the forecast looks promising for me to get back here tomorrow (Friday), but Saturday could be stormy. So sorry if I'm MIA that day, but the one day hopefully shouldn't cause too much of a hiccup in the proceedings. Just imagine Ulysses is silently radiating confidence for a few extra minutes, I guess.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Shades, the silver horse medallion is Eldon's holy symbol. You can do a Knowledge (Religion) check to see if you know the religion.

[Height]

Hey shades, sorry about that. You know you can just tell me that in this thread. My fault, though.

[souldoubt]

So what are we supposed to be doing now? Should we just wander off around the guildhouse? Ulysses already joined the HQ thread, so I'm kinda confused about how to navigate this.


@Sledge bro: I noticed that Omoris is 46. That's pretty old for a 1st level character, especially in a medieval setting, and considering that random starting age for a druid is between 17 and 27. I'm not encouraging you to fit your character into that age range if you don't want to, or saying you should change your character concept, I'd just recommend scaling back his age a bit. Keep in mind that humans advance to Middle Age at 35, losing 1 point on all physical stats and gaining 1 in all mental stats.

I guess in my thinking, by the time somebody gets to be 46 there gonna have a few levels in something, even if it's just the NPC commoner class. But that's just an opinion.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Yeah, basically I was just giving you a day to develop relationships among the team and the the other people at the guildhouse - part of the "75% RPing, 25% hack-and-slash" plan - but I can appreciate that some of the novelty is lost because you've already posted in the HQ IC thread. Never fear, I'll give you some more material to work with once I get back to my room in a few hours (at work right now).

Also, remember your posts in the HQ IC thread and the Team IC thread are not synchronized IC the way they are IRL. Let me know if I need to clarify further. But don't think too hard about it!

[Shades of Gray]

In other new I drew Durx. If anyone wants their character drawn. Just ask me.

I wouldn't mind . My current avatar is similar to how I think of Kyte, but I think you could do a much cooler job of it - especially with the 'X' of swords on his back.

[ArtifexFelicis]

I'm going to have to ask to. Should be interesting to see how Althea turns out to be.

[Shades of Gray]

Here is Kyte



height:120
width:80

Also: Althea



Height: 117
Width: 100

[ArtifexFelicis]

Also: Althea



Height: 117
Width: 100

I have to say that she came out well. Hair perhaps a little shorter then I would have thought, but spot on. I like the furs a lot as well. Also, I am ecstatic right now, thanks.

Those are some cool avies. Feel free to make Ulysses, if it's not too much trouble.
