Grex Rpg Item 5: AD&D Character creation
Entered by kain on Wed Jun 26 00:33:06 UTC 1996:

This is the AD&D Character creation log for bjorn's campaign, Orinoco's
campaign, and any other ad&d campaign we may have in the future but for now,
those two.  Orin and bjorn, If you could read the character shetts in here
it would be greatly appreciated

67 responses total.



#1 of 67 by bjorn on Wed Jun 26 01:26:16 1996:

And Eldrich's campaign, but his can't start until either mine or Orin's takes
a breather - I may actually continue from the end of "Fires of Dis".  Can't
say for sure now.


#2 of 67 by kain on Wed Jun 26 03:39:17 1996:

if we survive.  From what I can tell, I've barely survived most of the battles
with extreme need of healing and we're not even IN dis yet. owell it's fun
anyway, nice job bjorn


#3 of 67 by bjorn on Wed Jun 26 11:54:21 1996:

That's right - I did forget to have one of the blackguard heal you - D'oh!


#4 of 67 by bjorn on Wed Jun 26 12:07:11 1996:

The character sheets will be read in, probably by next Friday.  

does the line ". . . no good deed goes unpunished!" sound familiar to you,
kain?


#5 of 67 by kain on Wed Jun 26 13:25:55 1996:

yes It does!
btw, I'll get you an update on my holy sword abilities soon <DRIFT ENDS HERE>


#6 of 67 by bjorn on Wed Jun 26 17:48:02 1996:

Good.  I'm glad you see that I'm not just Paladin-bashing.
Cool, I'll look forward to your swords abilities.


#7 of 67 by bjorn on Fri Jun 28 14:22:48 1996:

O, BTW - I'll probably be able to get the text file done by this evening (If
I believed in luck, I'd add "w/ a little luck").  I'll upload it soon - just
have to get kain's holy avenger abilities into it.

okay, that works,

Bjorn: thanks but a few things: You forgot the long bow and arrows <normal
yet still useful.

Okay.  I'll add them.

Which variety of arrows do you consider 'normal': flight or sheaf?

Cool.  I'm just waiting for eldrich to get back from England, and coyote to
decide to drop by again - orinoco can be treated as an NPC easily, jamie needs
to catch up before he gets in.

Did I remember to put the qualities of your potions here, ariel?


#17 of 67 by ariel on Sun Jul 7 02:19:36 1996:

Yep.  Does Kitty know that, or not?



#18 of 67 by bjorn on Sun Jul 7 13:24:36 1996:

Yes, she knows now - although it would be a bit more dramatic if she didn't.
But it speeds the adventure to have her know.

A few adjustments to the character sheets for my campaing: remove loginid on
character III and replace with NPC.  Possibly, but I'm not sure yet - do the
same to character VII.

I plan on looking at eld's campaign and writing a text file to read into this
item later.  right now, I'm going to extract and print the entire item - it'll
make compiling the text file easier.

One last thing: Kuan Yin's portfolio (Mercy, Childbirth) How bout N'roc?
Something to do with cats, obviously . . .

AE, fuck the text file, here's characters for Eldrich's campaign:

        S 13    D 8     C 15    I 11    W 16    Ch 16
   HP: 15
    AC: 10 (7)
    THAC0 20

    SILVER: 6

EQ: Golden sickle (not a weapon - used to harvest mistletoe), scimitar, spear,
small wooden shield, leather armor.

Non-Weapon Profs: Agriculture (12), Herbalism (10), Swimming (13) {bonus slots

        Fionna is 20 years old, weighs 190 ls, and is 6'3" in height.  She has
locks of curly red hair down to shoulder length, green eyes, and almost elven
looking ears.  She sports a variety of freckles and birthmarks all over her
skin.  She is right legged albeit being left handed.  She wears a white robe
and locks of mistletoe for certain holy days and celebrations, in particular:
Imbolc, Beltane, Lammas, and Samhain.  Specefically, she is from Ireland, and
when she speaks Common, her voice reflects that - though not to the point of
aking her hard to understand.  Fionna was born during the second day of a full
moon near the Christian holy day of Easter.
        Fionna's father is a Duke in Ireland, and her mother, naturally - a
dutchess of the same realm.  Fionna is an only child and therefore sometimes
feels lonely even in the company of an adventuring party.  Fionna has a tatoo
of Epona, the Celtic horse-goddess on her left thigh.

trimmed beard.  He wears strange looking glasses, has a good disposition, and
a slight hunchback - which looks pretty bad on a dwarf.  He's very wary,
skeptical and/distrustful of new people he meets, but he can become very close
friends with the ones he's decided to like.  He doesn't like most halflings.

Weapon Profs: Footman's Flail, Morning Star.
