This is the thread for mao to create his character and up to one henchman. Use stats from this table (pick one for you and one for a henchman). Once the stats are picked then make the adjustments in thread for the race/species of the character. | STR | INT | WIS | CON | DEX | CHA | S.P. | | 15 | 14 | 14 | 10 | 10 | 18 | 100 | | 8 | 12 | 18 | 17 | 14 | 12 | 180 | | 18 | 11 | 5 | 12 | 15 | 7 | 90 | | 14 | 11 | 6 | 11 | 3 | 3 | 100 | | 16 | 12 | 14 | 14 | 12 | 11 | 150 | | 12 | 17 | 13 | 12 | 15 | 12 | 120 | | 12 | 13 | 17 | 13 | 14 | 12 | 150 | | 18 | 17 | 10 | 16 | 14 | 4 | 80 |
For each character please indicate here in the thread which of the five elements they have the greatest affinity for. This is something I will use behind the screen. The five elements are Fire Earth Water Air Ether |

Xur(ZUR) The Thinker
Mage
LG
Fire(burning curiosity)
St 15
Int 14
wis 14
Con 10
dx 10
Cha 18
"Why?"
"How?"
These 2 words sum up Xur perfectly. His mind is always occupied with why and how
He seeks ancient knowledge of creation and religion as well as magic
Eager friendly, his one flaw is that he is never satisfied with any answers he gets, always wanting more.

I will likely list 20 or more cantrips of which you can free cast a certain max number per day which I am in the process of deciding. Free cast because they are very simple and because they differ from full blown spells.

I get a lot of enjoyment (of playing a mage) in doing spell selection. I really would rather memorize

Free cast because they are very simple and because they differ from full blown spells As a place holder I will come up w temporary stats for Sheldon and cantrips until you get the chance and feel better ,If you want to change ,anything, feel free to edit them at your leisure I would like to avoid combat like the plague until I am more concrete,.(which will be easy if Sora and I pool our cha's We will be very formidable) t will also post my memorized cantrips here. The only thing about Xur that is cast in stone is I want to memorize all my spells and I would like Sheldon to not talk and only be a smart cat . I love the idea of him having a single cantrip that he can use in rping, but it is not a deal killer. The produce flame is the placeholder for this |

About Sheldon, Id like him to go up levels and not talk, I could live w an IQ of say 7 but not any higher. How do you feel about giving him 1 benign csntrip?. it is also fine that the only lynx stuff about him is the look and size. what do you want to be starting HD7 for him, I kinda like him to start at first if we are going to let him grow as a fighter w one cantrip. Can he be about exactly AC5?

Sheldon's char sheet
Sheldon ,while very smart, is mostly just a cat but he has 1 cantrip that he can cast once a day and cannot learn or aquire more. I don't want it to be useful in a fight. Really like the idea of him cooking food w it for rping purposes
AC5
HP 6
IQ 5
zero ep(for now) advances as fighter, fighs as monster
damage d6 ,as fighter or monster but fighter for now.

Cantrips The Perilous Dreamer Ok I am going to talk about the main 2 I want first and then I have 3 more Virtue>, the recipient gets 1 temporary hp that comes off the top it is not cumulative with itself and lasts 10 rounds before it fades away Guidance>. during the next 5 round the precipitant can add one to any d20 die roll. You must declare it's use before you roll. OK the following 3 you haven't told me how you feel about them Bee> summons angry honey bee and it appears where ever you want within 20 feet. It is a totally ordinary bee and it lasts until it dies(this is about exactly one of the original cantrip by Gygax(the following 2 are the same) Moan> ghostly moan comes from where ever you want within 20 feet. Foot falls> creates the sound of footsteps ant a range of 20 feet. You can wait till you add any more, This all is all I want |

Foot falls> creates the sound of footsteps ant a range of 20 feet. You can wait till you add any more, This all is all I want Cantrips Virtue - Gives the caster or other person 1 HP for 10 rounds (1 turn). Can only be cast once person target per day and if damage is taken it is used first. Guidance - Gives the caster or other person +1 to any d20 roll once during the next five rounds. When d20 rolls are made, its use must be declared before the roll is made. Angry Bee - Summons one ordinary, but angry honey bee where ever you want with a 20 foot radius of the caster. Duration is the life span of the bee, in this case that usually means until it stings someone. Ghostly Moan - This sound comes from where ever you want within a 20 foot radius and the duration is 10 rounds (1 turn). The volume and other characteristics of the moan can be varied as long as you concentrate on only that during the 10 rounds. Otherwise it sounds the same the whole time. Ant Footfall - creates the sound of the footsteps of millions of ants within a radius of 20 feet. Creates a sense of dread in everyone but the caster. Where are the three by Gygax found, what are they in? I tweaked them a little what do you think? |
