Whatever works; I'm just itching to play Alistair. Is the next-youngest boy willing to join our class so we have 4?

The class I suggest is
UserCharacterInfoNotesAgePost
OMG PONIESAlistair TenpennyMale Human Malconvoker 9224
JojolaggerYu-kiang (Tom)Male Antro-whale Fighter1 Class Level1456
CardrianEtienne RadcliffMale Half-Dragon GishMinion (Baron)10198
NightpenguinIrianFemale Elf IllusionistMinion (Elia)74(13)239
All young for their race, lacking in healing but fairly well balanced abilities otherwise. Between Irian's sneaking and Tom's trapfinding by hit points, we almost have a rouge.
Also only takes 1 of the girls, so we get the intrigue without stealing it from other groups.
P.S. @ Cardrian, How do you have d4 hit dice? Half-dragon raises all HD by 1 size (max of d12).
I added [a] name(s) and upgraded my class.

Before I put down my age, I need to know if we're using Races of the Wild's explanation of Elven aging; I believe someone is using it while someone else is not...

We can simply justify the elves as being from different parts of the world so some age differently. Also considering that we have 14 players I'm a bit steamed I thought we had all twenty guess not. So things will be delayed until we got all twenty. Tell your friends.

Do we really need twenty, though?

We have four classes, so in theory, we could have four groups of four; we could have sixteen people.

Of course, people may be offended if we just kick them out before they complete their character sheets...

I understand the desire to have all characters ready before beginning, but could we start something up for those of us getting antsy to play our characters? Possibly a "summer session" or even just an IC thread to play out the flavor of our characters before any classes even start?

I wouldn't mind. To be honest, I'm kind of getting tired of waiting for this to start up. I know that sometimes people don't have time due to IRL issues, I've been there. But I'm getting the feeling that if at least SOME groups don't get started, this whole project will die before it gets off the ground.

I agree. I'm alright with waiting a bit to see if the all-girl group is happening or not, but this has already been delayed quite a bit. Whether we start up and shed a bunch of players or wait will probably determine whether or not this entire thing will even happen.

Right once I'm out of class I'll try and start something up. Right now the DMs are busy building their characters and stuff. Only two have actually posted in the thread.

Yeah I have no qualms with the dragon or dungeon mags. I'm going to start up the thread in a bit. Things have really started to bog me down as I have two big papers to write. I'll do my best to have each up by today.

Well, we have had over twenty player interests, but you know how it is. People forget and then they don't check the thread and forget that they put interest and when they do remember, they don't feel like telling the rest of the group that they have withdrawn their interest yadda yadda yadda blah blah yadda blad.

Doomboy911: What do you consider 'resting?' Elves only need four hours of trancing, but spellcasters need eight hours of rest, so...

Yes. In every recruitment I have signed up for there have been people who have showed interest but then held up the thread by not posting and not having the courtesy to say they have to withdraw.

Go for it I'll have a thread up at around 12 tomorrow. I've finished a massive paper and my mouse decided to die on me. I'm also waiting on one of the dms to respond while one is busy doing some moving. Things might be held up a bit.

Finally got some internet out here, though I only have a little battery life so I must be brief.

Actually, because It's shorter to write out than animal companion or familiar, and is a bit more generic so the table is a bit more standardized.

Also, in regards to the potential group of only girls, I think that would actually make it so much easier to hide it from the guys that it would make it a bit less interesting.

This is what I was thinking but after the joke suggestion seemed to have people latch onto it I was willing to go with it.

If you are still accepting new players, I would like to express interest. I would like to play as a nerdy wizard-type character. however, it will probably take me a couple of days to finish a character sheet. here go rolls

(4d6b3)[14]
(4d6b3)[10]
(4d6b3)[8]
(4d6b3)[15]

(4d6b3)[12]

try 2

huh. would it be acceptable to take 2 points off of charisma(to 8), and add them to int(to 18)?
