Out-of-character (OOC) chat

[tumblingdice]

Slight delay on this end. Something got messed up with our cable connection when we moved furniture last night. Perhaps The Master is in league with Comcast.

The Master: "Come on guys. I'm not that evil."

No worries. Because I'm such a team player, I decided to roll up my own magic items and starting gold. Funny thing, I got some +12 leather armor, a +8 longsword of everything slaying, and a decanter of endless Samuel Adams.

Oh, and 8GP to start with.

No need to thank me.

I won't.

Let's do these instead. They're directly from the prerolled characters in the module. I'll assume Dave Cook knew what he was doing. The one exception is for Tasrem. Since there was only one prerolled wizard, I had to roll up his magic items.

Roikos: plate mail armor +1; shield +1; ring of fire resistance; staff of striking; potion of undead control
Zelaz: dagger +1; ring of telekinesis; scroll of magic missile, invisibility 10' radius, disintegrate; scarab of protection; wand
of cold
Aristide: long sword +1; leather armor +1; ring of spell turning
Taranna: sword +1, 8 +1 arrows; bag of holding
Tasrem: dagger +1, ring of protection +1; scroll of remove curse; dust of appearance; wand of magic missiles
Sam's fighter: sword +1, flames on command; potion of healing; potion of speed; plate armor +1; shield +1

Spells in spell book: assuming 8th level MUs and elves: 5 1st, 5 2nd, 3 3rd and 3 4th level spells. Pick whatever you spells you want for each spell level. No restrictions.
Note: I don't have much experience in assigning starting spells. Does that seem reasonable?

[Spanningtree]

Thanks! I think my character is ready!

sorry guys - I got knocked out of action for a week, but I'm finishing up my character today!! I'll review the last few posts before I finalize the character.

cheers

Dude... you're a riot.

I did well on the HP rolls... better than my STAT rolls anyway LOL. If memory serves, on new 1st level characters you allot the max, then players have to roll for each level thereafter? Perhaps I'm confusing your methods with another's.

Assuming that's true, I gave myself a 6 for first level, then rolled 8d6.

Can the "Staff of Striking" be more like a Mace or Flail (both are DMG: d6, same as a Quarterstaff), or - perhaps - another Cleric appropriate 1H weapon of your choice, as an exchange for the Staff of Striking?

Sumo, PM sent.

Role call. Who's ready?

[greyarea]

I'm in.

[badams30]

Aye, aye, Captain! I'm ready!
Oh, except for starting coin. How were we determining that?

500-1000 (1d6+4)x100 gp in coins, gems and jewelry. The less coin, the better. You're not going to be doing much shopping in the Sind Desert or beyond.

Also, there was an error in my character template. You can begin the game with mounts after all. Horses or camels. No elephants, dragons, winged creatures, etc.
