Dark underground prisons & Flying reptiles with breath weapons

[Solnath]

Yes, I suppose that's possible. Quite logically, too.

[Gulliver]

Heh, is the government in this world in the habit of assigning people to keep an eye on troublesome folks? Because if anyone's troublesome, it's adventurerers, what with all the killing and the looting and explosions...

[Solnath]

The government of the country you're in can be described with a few words: feudal, xenophobic, relatively stable, xenophobic, dislikes other species, xenophobic. That's why RK's catgirl/boy (I forget which gender it was, maybe he didn't pick definitely) is going to get a lot of crap down his collar if you know what I'm saying.

[Latagon]

D&D online?  Hell yes!  Long as it doesn't cost me anything.

[Solnath]

Great, got any character ideas?

Hmm, if there's a great supply of players, I might split you up in two groups.

[The Empire]

I want a dwarf monk! (Kind of a caricature of brother tucker in Prince of thieves but still fighting, he would be a monk of Onatar and eventually get a pair of Psi-bands in the shape of brass knuckles

He would be slightly shorter than the average dwarf but almost twice as heavy... and lawful Neutral

[Allama]

It would be hilarious to play a lawful good cleric of Pelor in this campaign... maybe I'll go with that!

No, nevermind that, changed my mind.  Female Chaotic Neutral rogue.  I'll answer some of the questions you posted a link to later, maybe list some stats after I make up a charcter sheet.

[Solnath]

If you list your stats you'll have the readiest character. People just don't want to show me their character sheets.

[Latagon]

Well infact, I've got a character rolled up, but it's from the original D&D, not this new game like Version 3 or something.  He's a Ranger/Chaotic Good.

[MythicalPuma]

Is it too late to join?

If not, can I use a character class form "The Book of Nine Swords"?

[Solnath]

Latagon, first edition?

MP, no, it isn't too late, but I'm going to have to say no to that request because from my perspective ToB is a bit broken as a standalone.

[Latagon]

Yeah, first edition...well actually I think it's 2nd...not sure exactly

[Tshern]

Thsern:

Yes, and as for feats, I would suggest mounted combat, combat casting and of course alertness.

If you want something more exotic, take snake blood.

Thanks for the help! I'm very new in this, so building a character is quite a burden for me. So many things to consider... If you have any other suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.

I have a question, too. In case I dump my idea of using a Psion, should I make a straight Fighter or a Samurai?

ToB is a bit broken as a standalone.

Wow! I understand that melee characters are damn overpowered so making them not rely on full attacks makes them even more broken, right? Wow, a 20th level Crusader can do 20d6 damage with one attack as a standard action. That certainly is somewhat the same as using a Greater metamagic rod of Quicken, Time stop, 3xGate and Prismatic sphere. In short, there's just no way a Tome of Battle character could ever stand up against a full spellcaster. Even Wu Jens kick their asses. The fact that Crusaders, Warblades and Swordsages are better than Fighters does not make them broken...

Got a new idea for a character, but I think Soly gets me hosed, if I try to fill the role of a tank with a Cleric. What do you say Soly? Neutral Good Cleric with Planning and Travel domains?

[Solnath]

Oh fine, dearest Tshern-o-boggy, but only if you can think up why he's travelling with the CGs or how is he related to Vobo. Love your sarcasm as always, by the way.

And Latagon, 3.5E is the only one allowed, too much has changed since even 3.0 for it to work properly in conjunction.

[Latagon]

Oh.  How sad.  I enjoyed the older rules.  It was simpler.
