Still working on my character. It's going to take a little longer than I had anticipated. I'm sorry. I'll get it finished as soon as I can.

@Lady Amalthea

Before my first post, would I be permitted to change my color code for my CS and dialogue text? I've got a very spiffy goldenrod in mind.

@Sigil Yeah, go ahead and change the hex code for your sheet under the cs tab.

Can I work out a character concept of a Necromancer Half-Orc?

Should I add in which spells I cast when I cast them or just describe the effects of said spells?

Such as Thelin casting prestidigitation to dim the lights of the torches, and then minor illusion to create the image of himself walking away.

@DMZ Half-orc is in the approved race line up and I have made no limitations in classes - so yes that would be acceptable as long as it follows the CS template.

@Mag Lev Looks good to far, I would suggest adding in Simple weapon proficiency so you can wield the staff as a weapon and light armor proficiency so you are not hindered in your casting by the iron skirt. (Both would go under skills)

@Experiment 249 As long as the description easily shows which spell is being cast, you don't have to put the exact name. If you're worried that people may not get exactly what you are doing then list it. Will all come down to posting style.

Another question on spells, specifically Thelin's sleep and tasha's hideous laughter. Thelin doesn't have magic damage, but magic effect spells, should I just PM you beforehand to see if a spell would work? I didn't think of these things until just now, sorry. I'd be down to just replace them with some illusion spells, since that's what Thelin's main focus is.

@Experiment 249 What I do for such matters is just either pm me to get what would happen if needed, or post the attempt and I'll post the effect in a follow up post. Usually it isn't needed for general things when you are in a situation with free npc control, but if it would affect other player characters or controlled npcs, those are the routes.

Ah, I shall add them in once I'm done with a change to the spells.

Just putting finishing touches on character now, hope to have first IC post up tomorrow if everything goes to plan.

In other news, dead happy with how some of it has turned out:

"Skills: Unsportsmanly Conduct"
"Might actually be made of nightmares or the souls of sinners or something."
"...an apocalyptically bad idea..."
"the fact that she hates him for turning her into a child murdering monster complicates the relationship somewhat."


...I'm really rather looking forward to this!

I want this character to get meta and ask for a drink that requires a Con save.

Given part of the reason for his drinking problem is to try and drink himself unconscious enough to sleep, I kinda like that idea.
...and voluntarily failing the save is quite likely!

But, that said, the reason I saw Amalthea's post and went 'Oh hell yeah' wasn't because it read like a three stooges skit, but because so much of the CS was entries like 'Flaws & weaknesses:' or 'Supporting cast:' or 'Additional plot hooks:'

Characters arn't defined by their strengths - they are defined by their weaknesses. Buy what they can't do, not what they can.

Anyways, first post is up.
I've been away a long time so I'm very rusty.
Feeback/further plotting etc is more than welcome.

Glad you like.

A lot of it is a bit ott and cliché, but... I don't actually have a huge problem with that.

I like my characters larger than life and with twice the angst because, well, if I wanted to write a story about an office worker I wouldn't have signed onto something about armies of undead and evil artefacts.

And clichés have become clichés because they are storytelling devices that work.

That said, I am rapidly realising how rusty a writer I am, and I have accidentally signed onto something that clearly has some very strong contributors.

So please do not be afraid of PMing me with suggestions, or calling me out if I'm getting carried away / going in a stupid direction / whatever.

I'm both going 'squee!' and really keen and 'Eeep! What were you thinking?' at the same time!
