[D&D]Characters

[Brother-Captain Gaius]

Thread for character creation and the posting of completed characters. Please try to keep the thread clean of everything else, use the pre-campaign thread if you need to. Those who do not have the experience or material to create a character need only post here saying so so I can help with your character (be sure to post exactly what books you don't have or what portions of creation you don't understand).

EDIT: For clarification, everything listed here is allowed, no questions asked. Anything else from any other source will need to be checked over by me before it can be used.

All class books (e.g., Sword & Fist)
Epic Level Handbook (if ever applicable ),
Deities and Demigods (for shits and giggles, I have it so why not),
Recent Dragon material, final word decided on a case-by-case basis
Pieces of Oriental Adventures will also be permitted, as Dragon above (be sure to send me the material over PM you intend to use from OA and Dragon!).

If you want to use other source material, PM ME ABOUT IT!

Crayz9000, anarchistbunny and Alyrium, I've looked at your stuff and its fine.

You may use standard point-buy or standard 4d6 drop lowest. Don't cheat. You all know its taboo to fudge ability rolls.

Bio:

Alastar was born into house Thaumaster deep in the Black forest. His family was reasonably afluent, grey elves that they are, and very aristocratic. From the time he was born, Alastar did not fit that caste. He showed remarkable compassion for the less fortunate, and will go out of his way to help anyone that needs it and lacks the sense of nobility and class/species distinction that is common to his race.

He also shows a remarkable affinity for magic, and his spells are more potent, and more numerous than any other student in the academy. He also when young, distinguished himself as a theologan, studying religions, and coming to the colculsion that all of them are false. He combines this with his theories on magic.... he gods, he feels, are little more than mrtals who have mastered the art, and have learned to imbue many with ability to cast spells... He supports this by pointing out that clerical spells se the same basic mechanics as his own, and that many of the spells overlap and have similar effects.

Having graduated at the head of his class at the academy, Alastar has traveled outide of Germany, in order to increase his knowledge and skill with magic, and to prove his theories on the nature of magic...

Hair: Brown
Special: Hey, guess where I got this character idea from? Basically, he's a sort of journeyman in a group similar to the House of the Dead in the Paladin/Cleric sourcebook, except not that same group. He poses as a fairly simple 'undertaker' sort at the city's HotD equivalent, where he examines corpses for signs of undead attacks or other foul play. He's also a Belmont, however, the heir to a bloodline of famous vampire-slayers...and he's itching to prove himself to the powers-that-be that he's finally ready for his training. Hence, how he might end up in a party...

Languages: English, Latin, Orc (edited appropriately; textbooks and Mass were in Latin at the time, so it'd be something important to know)

Bio

Kenji was born blind and consequently abandoned to a local monastery. He was raised by the local master as a student of the monastery's martial arts, a struggle enough for a fully able human, a monumental task for one born blind. When Kenji became an adult, he went out into the world to learn what cannot be learned in the walls of a monastery. He took a boat from Nippon to China and followed a silk caravan to the Middle East. From there, he followed a pilgrim trail from Constantinople to Brest, taking a ship across the channel, landing in England.

EDIT: Fixed languages and added bio details.

[The Duchess of Zeon]

In which case German would be common

Latin would be the closest thing to a common language, actually, being the official language of the Church and taught to all the nobility and bureaucratic officials. Most philosophers in the Arabic world would also know Latin, and probably most traders in both the Arab and Scandinavian worlds. It would be much less common than Common, however. Old Norse would be a regional common language in the north, Arabic vastly important in the south, Greek important in the Balkans and Asia Minor, and French important for the nobility. High German would be important for the HRE. You can probably get away without knowing English or Italian or other minor languages, and in a pinch, Latin and your native language would work just fine--most everyone would understand some of it, if mangled, in most areas of Europe. Interpeters are a bigger must in a European game than I suspect otherwise, however, but that just makes things interesting for a group of experienced players, which is what we have here it appears--particularly on this format, where interpeters would seem a bit easier to handle.

[SirNitram]

I'm a vet, but it's been a while since I've rolled up a character and my books are currently.. Lost. Please offer any corrections. Updated with help from Alyrium. And I swear, I'm sorry my dice loved me when rolling stats.

Awww... Narf.

[The Duchess of Zeon]

I assume that the languages of the elves, would remain the same as historical. Naturally High German would be spoken in the region of the Black Forest, with numerous local dialects--but it, principally, would be the language of interaction.

[Alyrium Denryle]

For spells... you know 4 cantrips, and 2 first level spells

You can cast 5 cantrips, and 3 first level spells. You get 1 bonus first level spell for your 18 charisma.

This will help everyone...

Bio
The illegitimate son of a Viking marauder and an Elf from the isle of Ynys Attaligh, Johan grew up on that mysterious isle until he was captured and sent to Ireland at the age of 12. He was sold to a trader in Dublin, and while there learned Greek and Vulgar Latin, as well as how to appraise goods.

At the age of 18, he was given his freedom but found that he had nowhere to go. It was there, on the streets of Dublin, that he became a thief. Sneaking around became necessary for survival, and he soon learned how to make traps, pick locks, forge letters, and pick pockets. His red hair, however, was still a liability and he soon learned to keep it covered with a cap or hat at all times. Nine years later, he is a very street-smart thief, moderately skilled in surviving in the wilderness, and familiar with magic.

Not to mention that you can't be a multiclass at level 1. Crayz, you'll have to be either a rogue or a bard starting out and get the other at 2nd level.

[Alyrium Denryle]

actually, you can....

check the Players handbook and DMG

[Crayz9000]

I went over a lot of this with JediNeophyte last night, so the multiclassing thing is OK for half-elves apparently.

The stat conversion is a little problematic, though. Those are Angband stats I gave, sorry... the bonuses listed are included in the final stats.

(edit: bogus stats fixed)
