Ravenloft Party Negotiations

The last time we created a party we didn't have an arcane caster, so it seems to me a good idea to confer a bit before character creation to make sure all of our bases are covered. So far I've played a Bard/Sorcerer/Sublime Chord, a short-lived Druid, and a Wizard-Evoker, so I call dibs on a non-caster this time. I don't have anything too specific in mind yet until more of the party weighs in, but I'm thinking something roguish.

In the comments here, Jason mentioned something about an offensive-minded priest or paladin. What about everyone else?

And I have a few questions at the end of those same comments that Tiger may want to address before our character concepts get too developed. It would be good to have a bit of agreement on the alignment continuum for the sake of party unity.

Hey, I can finally be Gobula the fire-wizard! If, that is, I can make it to the event.

I think it would be really cool to play an evil-aligned campaign.

Tiger said...

Sorry about the amount of time, but most of the issues have now been addressed, I think.

There are a few more details to tend to, but I think they can wait until the characters are rolled up (is it okay if we do that on firiday Scott(how the helll do I punctuate this question inserted in a sentance(or that one(etc))).

Tiger said...

Dammit, not enough closing parentheses

Hmm. I don't know about rolling up characters on Friday. Maybe we can roll ability scores, so you can witness it (as new DM), but actually making characters takes a while.

And, about the Ravenloft game, I'm not expecting it to be a one-shot, but maybe to whet our whistle. Tiger and I need to make arrangements about whos game is being run when. I'm not sure if he wants to wait until mine is over. It may be a while. (I'm thinking summer).

Tiger said...

Yeah, just ability scores, that's alls I meant.

scott said...

I'm thinking about playing some sort of wizard..

Degolar said...

4-1 huh?

Still flexible, but I'm narrowing it toward a fighter/thief who aspires to be a thief-acrobat. That, or a tyrannical despot.

Degolar said...

So do I start at 1st level as a fighter for max HP or a thief for max skill points?

Degolar said...

According to my bardic knowledge check, we're now looking at:

Degolar - stealthy combatant w/thief skills

Jason - evil-smiting cleric or paladin

Gobula - fire mage

Scott - wizard

Leelu - healer cleric

Lummox - lunatic barbarian (and I don't know about his character yet)

Tiger - the adversary

David C. - Monk

with a penis.

Leelu said...

I think I found it. Looks pretty good for what we're doing and what I want.

Tiger said...

Shit, now I have to borrow a book from someone. Not in this group.

And yes, I was going to give a 4-1, re-roll 1's, 7 rolls, throw out lowest result.

I sort of like that style.

If I knew you guys were going to be starting Ravenloft so soon I would have left my copy of Heroes of Horror with you.

So, on Ema's, I need to get the Ravenloft spells, right?
