A Basket of Undead

@rush99999 fixed! also, doubled the capacity of waterskins and wineskins while I was at it.

A Basket of Undead

@wanderingwolf thanks for dropping by!

@POOHEAD189 Since you'll be hiring them I'll give them some more fleshed out backstories :D

@Dark Cloud how's character creation coming? I recently found dndcharacter.com which let's you roll up the basic classes and purchase equipment, if that's easier.

A Basket of Undead

@POOHEAD189 heck yes! I've started generating some here, probably going to add a few more unusual ones and then we can do a little hiring thing. Would you like them to be fiercely loyal/travelling with you for a while or someone you scooped up at the local tavern who will expect a treasure share?

A Basket of Undead

@Dark CloudSweet! If you do decide to be a Magic-User on your first character I offer up the Mage variant for your perusal:

A Basket of Undead

@Dark CloudGo for it!

A Basket of Undead

Sorry for the delay @Dark Cloud! in my experience the bad statted characters are the ones who live forever...

Looking good so far! If you prefer to play them one at a time I can half control one outside of battle, or you can control both.

I've rolled up some pregens so just putting them in BBCode format now:

Arcane Spellcasting

Level 1: Sleep

1 Cast Left

• Duration: 4d4 turns
  
  Range: 240’
  
  Causes creatures (except undead) to fall into a magical slumber. The spell may target either:
  
  A single creature with 4+1 Hit Dice (see Hit point modifiers).
  A total of 2d8 Hit Dice of creatures of 4 HD or lower each.
  When targeting creatures of 4 HD or less, the following rules apply:
  
  Weakest first: Targets with the least HD are affected first.
  HD: Treat monsters with less than 1 HD as having 1 HD and monsters with a fixed hit point bonus as having the flat HD. (For example, a 3+2 HD monster would be treated as having 3 HD.)
  Killing: A single attack with a bladed weapon can kill a creature enchanted by this spell.
  
  Awakening: Enchanted creatures can be forcefully awakened (e.g. by slapping).

A Basket of Undead

I'm fine with making two characters myself.

@rush99999

awesome!

Making one would be nice, since I'm never great at manning two characters in a written format...

@Dark Cloud

Option 3 or 4 for me!

@POOHEAD189

Sweet! I'll generate a few loyal buckos tommorrow evening. They will, generally speaking, not be very smart or wise or possibly just really lazy, so these characters will defer to your judgement on challenges that come up. You can direct them and make requests of them, but if you mistreat them and they catch on, it might get back to the local town that you're a dangerous party to work with.

Also I get Castlevania vibes from this and it's pretty awesome.

@Dark Cloud

That's the exact vibe I get from this adventure too. Makes me want to re-watch the animated series since I'm not very skilled at the game :p although Vampire Survivors just released a crossover for Castlevania which I'm working up to.

How about just one post-deletion thread for every deletion request ever?

Wahey, looking good!

Garlic.. very wise in my undead manor, how dare you plan ahead :C

@rush99999@POOHEAD189@Dark Cloud@Mae

I've been thinking of how to proceed with character creation. You guys can pick individually what you prefer, makes no massive difference on my end :D

Option 1. I force you guys to make two characters back to back from scratch, which feels a bit mean :p - Rush
Option 2. I generate some pre-made characters you can pick from so you don't have to fill in the form saves each time. You can reroll the stats or tinker with the inventory as you see fit.
Option 3. I give you guys some super loyal retainers to tag along as your meat shields for a bit, and you can generate your second character when you've got an idea of what you'd like your second character to be.
Option 4. We can do the retainer hiring process proper, but you will have to pay them :D

How are we feeling about it?

it's a legal requirement that if you give a silly little intro you have to do a silly little walk when you enter the forums.

In all seriousness, welcome to the forum! Happy you're here and I hope you find something you really enjoy :D
