Since no one wants to do 4e and 5e is very popular and this module seems interesting, are there any DMs willing to give it a shot?

Do you accept proficiencies and signature spells from the Player's Option: Spells and Magic?

I want to play them.

I really want to do either Keep on the Shadowfell or The Slaying Stone both set in the Forgotten Realms.

Actually it was Sorka that was named Jessica's guardian. Otherwise sounds good.

Bump. Firehound? Are you still interested?

I already sent a private message and he was willing.

I like its rich history and setting.

Jessica's father took her out adventuring because she was sickly and ill as a young child. By gradually, cautiously and slowly exposing her to the outdoors he planned to strengthen her health and get her out of the smothering environment of the library. Libraries are good for study but they are bad for children if they are not allowed to live a little and enjoy what is out there. He was not forceful or overbearing but he wanted her to be able to be more physically strong in constitution and be more flexible and self dependent in life. Well anyways I plan to simply play her as an independent 11 year old with a lot of get go. More or less someone with a lot of energy and self starter tendencies. Likes to think and plan ahead, is willing to take the initiative, though not stupidly she will not rush off ahead if party is in a dungeon, and a very independent person. She would be willing to be mentored but remember she would be the along the same power lines as her mentor(being a level 1 magic user). Because she travelled a lot she is used to the road and could travel an entire day without complaint unlike most children. In fact she enjoys it and prefers it to being stuck in some stuffy library. She does not mind research but will not spend more than a day in a library, preferring the outdoors. Think of it similar to Morrigan of Dragon Age Origins.

I actually used a bow in summer camp once and I wasn't all that older. And road warrior is not necessarily equivalent to being a fighter or ranger. Sorry did not want to make it seem that way. Being a warrior can have different meanings, from being exceptionally strong mentally to strength of will to live. She could travel long distances without tiring, and be able to find food for herself. She can be good at hiding too in case she runs into trouble from enemies. Basically a survivor whose strength comes from her mind and her cleverness, not her muscles and swordplay. I hope I did not ruin this game because I was just thinking through my characters. Perhaps by playing in this edition it puts me in a position to be forced to not have her unintentionally overpowered or having too many skills that might be viewed as unrealistic and overpowered. But children are not stupid or incapable. They lack experience, not ability. They are very intelligent and capable of logical reasoning and decision making. It's the lack of life experiences that gets in the way. Just my opinion.

Well I love creating characters with a lot of customizing. Basically in other editions Jessica would be an invoker who because of her father could survive out in the wilderness for periods of time. She would be a road warrior though not a fighter, more or less a survivalist. Of course she would not be ranger nor have the skills of a fighter but in pf2e I actually would have had her be able to use a longbow. Maybe that is the beauty of the older editions. Less complicated sometimes means more imagination required and perhaps that is why I like the older editions more. Much simpler. I found 3.5 too cumbersome while 4e more or less easier to handle. 3.0-3.5 offered variety and more options in character creation it got awfully complex and overdrawn. So maybe 1e might do me some good. Might fun to have things much more simpler. I am looking forward to it. On another note do I get more spells since I bumped my INT to 18? I am fine with three but I figured it could not hurt to ask.

Any edition, first, second, third, 3.5, 4th, 5th or Pathfinder 2nd I don't care. Just want to be a part of a Forgotten Realms adventure. Doom of Daggerdale from 2nd edition would be nice. Keep on the Shadowfell or the Slaying Stone from 4th edition would be nice as well. Please anyone? 😁

How do I rename this thread? And while we're at it I cannot understand how to calculate my movement. They did a terrible job organizing the 1e adnd phb. Hard to find specific rules. :(

Are you sure about this? We could use a cleric. :)

You have to know a few things about Jessica. When she left Diamond Lake with her father, she was a weak, sickly child prone to bouts of flu and shivers. The reason why Jessica's father took her out of Diamond Lake was one to get her away from Neff, Smenk and the other corrupt officials and mine managers he had made enemies of and two to toughen her up a bit and help her regain her health by gradually introducing her to the outdoors, learning to live a little without the stuffiness of a library, and basically not smother her. He was a sickly child himself when he was young until his father got him to go outdoors, play with his brothers and other children and not be overly sheltered. When it was done slowly and cautiously he was able to get stronger and grew up to be a healthy adult. Now around 6 years later Jessica is a vibrant, healthy 11 year old girl. No longer frail and weak. The plague of course laid her low but as soon as she was cured she bounced back and was now quite well if not a bit emotionally devastated by the death of her father. She is a survivor though if not a bit stubborn. Her strengths are still her mind and spirit.
