Greyhawk OOC Chat

Let's try to get characters finished this week so we can get this show on the road.

Ok, I will go for dwarvish then.

Do we use the equipment tables from AEC, or the core rules?

Let's try to get characters finished this week so we can get this show on the road.

I think I'm good.

[kwll]

So I rolled [2d6x10] = 5x10 = 50, which won't bring me very far. I pretty much will be able to get weapons and armour, and that is it...

Where can I find the movement rules?

I think I am pretty much done, except if I missed something. As for the background, I could come up with something but I don't know the setting that well. Are there things we need to know (if we have no particular familiarities with Greyhawk), or potential hooks we could use?

Here is some information from the module that should help:

The Village of Hommlett—or merely "Hommlett," as it is commonly called—is situated in the central part of the Flanaess, that portion of western Oerik Continent which is known and 'civilized.' The hamlet-sized village (local parlance having distinguished it with the greater term) is located some 30 leagues south- east of the town of Verbobonc, or there- abouts, on the fringe of the territory controlled by the noble Lord the Viscount of Verbobonc. It is at a crossroads.

To the north is the mighty Velverdyva River, along whose south bank runs the Lowroad. Many days' travel to the east, on the shores of the Lake of Unknown Depths (Nyr Dyv), is the great walled city of Dyvers. The village of Sobanwych lies about halfway along the route. Below that to the southeast and east are miles and miles of forest (the Gnarley), beyond which is the Wild Coast, Woolly Bay, and the Sea of Gearnat. The road south forks a league or so beyond the little community, one branch meandering off towards the Wild Coast, the other rolling through the lower Kron Hills to the village of Ostverk and then eventually turning south- wards again into the elven kingdom of Celene. The western route leads into the very heart of the gnomish highlands, passing through Greenway Valley about a day's travel distant and going onwards to the Lortmil Mountains far beyond.

Your character could be from Celene or near there. Who is his family? Why is he adventuring? Why is archery his specialty? All of these questions can be answered in a background.

All characters start with 10XP (good enough for level 1). Those with pictures, add 2XP. Those with backgrounds, add 3XP. (So for both pic and background, you get 5XP for a grand total of 15XP)
