You'll need to use the house-rules for character creation, here:

The place to post your character for the game, and a simple character sheet format for you, can be found here:

Other pertinent house-rules that this campaign will use are right over here:

And, if you haven't already, please do read the introduction:

I played my last game of d&d for the summer today -- I won't be seeing the guys I game with until late august.

...Meaning I now have some free time to join a PbP!

So as Capt'n Kirk would say: "Roll me up, Scotty!"

merctime, if I go with the second set, will that good WIS score give me a bonus to XP accrual as a FM?

[merctime]

tetramorph, not only the Wisdom score, brother, but the Intelligence score will, too! That INT will provide a +3 to your Prime Requisite! And the Wisdom will add a further +1, for a total virtual prime requisite of 9+4=13.


This places you at a +5% to XP between the two as a FM.

OD&D says that FM's can 'use' INT on a 2 for 1 basis to add virtual points to their PR, as long as the virtual INT doesn't go below 9.

None of the stats that can virtually boost a PR can be brought below 9.  So, your WIS, as a FM, being virtually 'used' on a 3 for one basis

(INT of 14, 13 = +1; 12, 11 = +2; 10, 9 = +3 to PR.  Your PR in this case is now 9 + 3 = 12)

(WIS of 14, 13, 12 = +1; Then, 11, 10, 9 = +2... See?  I missed my math.  Wis actually adds you +2 virtually to your PR, but... This still puts you at a 14 PR and still having a +5%)  (Final is 12 after INT, +2 from WIS, for 14 = +5% to xp as a FM)

I know it's weird, but I dig this way.  For FM, it simulates (to me) that a smart, canny fighter can be just as effective as a brute.  Conan was smart and canny!

[tetramorph]

Okay I think I follow. Real quick:

Are you listing the ability scores:
Str
Int
Wis
Con
DEX
Cha

Or:
Str
Int
Wis
DEX
Con
Cha

?

[merctime]

STR, INT, WIS, DEX, CON, CHA.

It's a habit from AD&D I fear to shed. Either way, I think it will cause confusion. Thank you, tetramorph... I'll be more clear with this.

[The Red Baron]

I wasn't going to mention it, but I'm glad you cleared up the SIWDCC order

[merctime]

Portlyfighter let me know he won't be able to make it.

[todd]

Any openings?

[merctime]

Certainly, todd... There is. And you've got one

I've been on a hiatus for close to a week with a computer failure, but just today have gotten it squared away. I'll get you some rolls for your character soon, within a couple of hours of this post at the very latest. Thanks for your interest!

If you haven't already done so, please do read through some of the rules type stuff in the links in the OP. I'll be right with ya!

[todd]

Great, thanks! I will read through the OP links.

Ability rolls (choose one set)

8, 9, 6, 13, 14, 15

15, 9, 15, 14, 11, 8

11, 16, 11, 15, 8, 13

Your Hit Point (Base) roll:

6 (!!!)

Your Social level rolls:

(Across, 6. Down, 1)

General social level 1: Slave!!!*

*This could be interesting, but I'll not force it, as it conjures immediate distaste in many these days.  Please understand this isn't about skin color or today's ideology.  This could mean that your character was sold by a poor father to gain some income for a larger family, or your character was captured for fighting in the arena/forced to slave under a cruel M-U/Purchased by the Clergy to raise in a more beneficial home-style, or captured by vikings (If you've scanned a bit through the campaign stuff, to know the different people's who are to be found in it).

AGAIN.  BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIALLY INFLAMMATORY NATURE OF THIS SOCIAL CATEGORY, I WILL NOT FORCE THIS ON YOU and all you must do, is ask for a social level re-roll, with no preamble or explanation required on your part and I will do it immediately.

GP roll:

13x10=130 gp

Now THAT's interesting... A slave with alot of coin!  Hmm... 

Well, there you go.  Pick one set of character stats (from left to right only; No mixing top to bottom) and choose those stats IN ORDER (no moving a stat to a desired attribute) and post your emergent hero here.

[todd]

Got it. I'm okay with the slave roll if no one else has issues. If they do, I'll take the reroll. I shall ponder those ability rolls.

[merctime]

Ok, bro. They are, in order from left to right, STR, INT, WIS, DEX, CON, CHA. If you're new to DD or OD&D, I'll assist you as best I can If not, you're on your way!

[todd]

Got the DD book but haven't had a chance to use it until now. If I get lost, I'll holler.
