Gainsdalf the Whey Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Also the fact that I'm not confident about the rules and don't want to bother you all by continuously asking questionsno one is! Playing with beginners is fun, you guys don't know what to expect. You guys really don't need to know the mechanics, I'll be doing all the rolls when it comes to that, you guys just focus on the role playing.That said, if you don't have the time, that's fine.

EchoWolf Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Im willing to give it a go But might be worth having someone willing to stand in just in case I suck (I know I'm self hating but I really don't want to ruin an awesome game for other people) I'm reading the rules on my iPad but my comp is broken so I can't fill out the character sheet Quote Link to comment

If you'd like any assistance with your character sheet we can chat on gchat or something. And that goes for anyone who would like some help and doesn't want to bug the DM.

This is Seth Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 My main reason for joining is so that I can bug the DM. I'm gonna text the shit out of you, Corey. --edit--Also, thinking of putting together a cleric, once Corey releases the deity list. So, I can cover the healer role. --more edits--So wait, if my cleric throws on some armor, I lose 50% of my spell effectiveness? Say I cast something within my god's sphere, I'm only casting at 75% efficiency? So, my Cure only cures for 1d6 instead of 1d8 unless I go nakie...

Yeah, I want healers and priests in my world to be more of the squishy types you see in many RPGs than the battle cleric you see in AD&D. I made the armor rule for hyrbid class type customizability so you can go be a half warrior like a cleric by throwing on some armor and wielding a mace, but you need to lose some magic power for balance. What the squishy clerics in my world get in return is access to more powerful wizard spells and casting abilities. So with no armor, your heal does more like 1d12 or something like that. I considered having a godless world and having the healing spells just be another form of normal magic. Still haven't ruled it out. My diety system is going to draw from the Faith of the Seven from Game of Thrones, but I don't think it's going to be multiple aspects of 1 god but actual seperate deities to support the whole multiple gods with multiple interests kind of thing. Each aspect will support those spell domains that support their purpose or interests, such as combat, guardian, and protection for The Warrior, protection and healing for the Mother, alteration, creation, and summoning for The Smith, necromancy and illusion for The Stranger, etc. I'm not going to limit my number of gods to these 7 as I think there isn't enough representation of nefarious or even neutral deities. I may add a few such as The Farmer for agriculture, The Assassin, The Warlord, The Scholar, The Woodsman etc. I just need to brainstorm to make sure there isn't overlap with others and there is a need for each one. each will also have their own special power, such as priests of The Warrior having less of a penalty from armor. Feel free to offer suggestions through email and character building. This is all fluid as I've been wanting to create my own campaign setting for a very long time and I'm kinda going to create it as we go, I'm just trying to provide the basics for you guys so we can get started. I'm planning on rolling a deity, Corey just has to tell me which one first. - Rathrune Not with those stats you're not.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 You should all have an email in your inbox going over the spell list, the domains they belong to, the gods, their alignments, their domains of access, and descriptions. I'm going to put together a diagram for what domains are connected for the purposes of accessing more domains as we go along, but I think I have everything you guys need to roll characters and create backgrounds. Let me know if you need any more info. Otherwise, start getting sheets to me and once I get a few I'll open up the game thread.

This is Seth Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 So, when do we have to get our character sheets in? I know you're still sticking things together over there, but I was hoping to get a timeline out there... so I have some pressure to actually write things down.

mitch_dee Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I will have mine in by this weekend as well. I had been holding off to see what the group might need class wise but I will be going full on meat sheild as I believe we need that role filled. Rough count in my head has the group with myself, a ranger, a bard and possibly two squishy/semi-squishy casters (clerics I believe).
