Reclaiming Blingdenston [Playtest]

Would we be making our own characters? Or using the ones from the play test?

either way. i'm interested

TheHumanHydra · 10:56pm

I'm interested too. I think I'd most like to test out the new fighter mechanic, most likely as an archer. I'm re-reading the playtest document now. Where do we put applications, since they should probably be semi-private?

Players are free to use the rules from the playtest to create a character. I'd would also be open to a player coming up with their own background instead of using one from the playtest as they follow a fairly standard pattern. They would have to run it by me though. If you just post a brief description of your character with a name then I can make a private thread for you to go into the more intricate details.
Also we should be consistent with whether or not to roll for ability score and for health gain per level. I'm leaning toward using the average value for health. I'm fine with the standard array listed unless players are particularly want 4d6 keep top 3.

I prefer standardized health and do not have a preference as to stat generation (strange, I know). I've set to work on my (prospective) character and will post something (or everything) tomorrow.

I am DMing the playtest right now and would like to join a game as a player. If that is okay, here is Knoc:

Long have the Drakkus Crypt Knights guarded the dragon relics of Skarlnun. Protecting the ancient wonders from the world. Or rather, protecting the world from the unpredictable power within these mysterious treasures. When a relic gets up and walks away, Knight Errants are sent to find those responsible. Returning only after finding the lost relic and bringing back the souls of the foolhardy.

Knoc Ercole, Crypt Guardian of Skarlnun
Race: Human
Class: Sorcerer (Copper Dragon) || Will Power: 3
Background: Knight - Knight's Station
Specialty: Necromancer - Aura of Souls

I prefer average health and stat rolling but will go with whatever.

I am Interested in playing. It has been a long time since I played a game on Myth. I would prefer Average health and Stat Rolling but will also go with what is determined. I would like to go with creating my own character.

Ok, average health and stat rolling seem to be the way to go, so we'll do that.

Magil · 11:19pm

I've been looking to play a game of DnD Next for some time, to get a feel for the system. At the moment my interest is mostly set in a front-line combatant, and I think a fighter would suit me well. If it's allowed, I'd like to discuss possibly altering the fighting styles or specialties slightly, but I'm perfectly willing to play with the prepackaged options. My preferences would be averaged HP and standard array for stats, but I'll roll with what the other players want just fine.

Caelynn Sharpleaf, Bounty Hunter
Race: Wood Elf
Class: Fighter (Sharpshooter)
Background: Bounty Hunter (Bounty Board)
Specialty: Archer (Rapid Shot)

When her forest home was gutted by fire and her family's lives consumed in flame, a young Caelynn realized that even an elf's years can be cut short, and that it is necessary to always act now to make the most of the time one has and to safeguard what one holds dear. Blinking woodsmoke and tears from her eyes, she took the only course that presented itself to her, followed the arsonist's tracks, and apprehended him. Restraining herself from revenge, though, she turned him in to the authorities and received a reward, enough to live on. It was not long before the sheriff came to her with quarries of his own. Caelynn agreed to hunt them down, first of all to survive, and second to seize the initiative from those who would do harm to others, and stop them before they could wreck destruction on yet more innocents' lives. Lately her hunt has led her to the Underdark, and to a gnomish settlement named Blingdenstone, beset by troubles ...
