Yep. Got to do that.
Your character is complete (disclaimer: AFAIK

). Well done!

Umm...
Is it just me or is that a complete clone of Sh'rarn...
NO CLONING SH'RARN!
Only enough for Tway... no more!
But yeah, it looks to me like slade isn't taking this seriously *pounds fist*
On the other hand it could just be a frightening coincidence...
But i doubt it!

Anyone want my position on this? (Tries to avoid stepping on anyone's toes

)
I would prefer slade chose a different diety (otherwise there could be character conflicts of interest, that kind of thing

) but am othewise happy enough there's another Aasimar Paladin in the game. Paladins are after all the Aasimar's class of choice.
Glad you want to join slade.
@Kythras, it's possible he's new to D&D and just used a character class and some of the ideas as a template. Anyway, Paladins can definitely be very different from each other. I doubt mine's going to be the cliche.

Slade, the following is not to be meant as offense, so please don't take it as such.
As Kythras pointed out, your character is somewhat a copy of Sh'rarn, the character of Ravager. Is this just coincident, or have you used Rav's character as model while creating?
As Kythras also pointed in her post, or it can at least read from there between lines, there is no point to make two more or less similiar characters. That would ruin the enthuasism, unless the whole group consist such characters, which our party is not. Your character just won't fit in the party, due the similiarity with Sh'rarn.
Also, I must confess, that I wasn't sure at the beginning if I should allow you to join the campaign. The reason is NOT personal, or anything such, but just the thing that before you, we had already five players, plus NPC controlled by me and making the sixth member of the group. My campaign is basically balanced to 5-6 characters, but I eventually decided that you can join, it won't make that much difference if we have 6 or 7 players.
So, I'm not saying that you are not allowed to stay in our campaign, far from it. But I would request that, to be allowed to keep yourself with our campaign, you make little more effort. Take a look of the character sheets in the Character sheet/files -thread. There you can see how well others have used the possibilities and diversity the world of D&D allows. So, instead of creating another Aasimar Palladin, I would hope you try to make character more personal.
At this point, I would make this clear to
everybody:
While this game is more or less process of learning, to me and to most of you too, I would still hope that [everybody] is serious when we have those sessions. If you aren't, then there is possibility that the whole thing will collapse, it being more likek chatting place that game. There is other threads for that, including this one, where you can discuss Out of Character, where you can get familiar with each other and so on. But, I would be happy if everybody will be serious while playing, no doing stupid things that ruins the game for those who actually try to be serious, or keep talking OOC all the time during sessions.
I know the above may not, and I even hope it won't happen, but I still saw it important enough to mention at this point.
Thank you, the DM will get silent, but only till comments are needed again

Suggestion for ch85us
Hope you guys don't mind me high-jacking the thread, I've been reading with much interest since it started. Would have liked to join but not sure if I could find the time.
If you wanna change from a ranger (maybe 2 rangers is a bit much) then I would suggest maybe a rogue. Can still creep around like a ranger and can be not bad fighters (especially sneak attacking, and feinting), but also gains some skills usefull to the group such as trap finding and disarming, although this depends on the campain Kipi has planned for you.
I was working on a halfling rogue with the idea for this campain, a sort of covert intelligence gatherer. I could post it as an example if you liked.

@Chus
Mmm... did I understand correctly that you are going to change it because of me? If that's the case, there is no need, but you can if you really want to. It's just that you have to create the whole character again, but I don't mind posting the change when you are ready.
@Ruscavo
I hope you read my previous post, cause it explains why I must at this point say that we are full. No offense meant, and if there comes a situation which allows new players, you will be on the top of the list. But till that, you are still free to post your ideas here, and discuss/help others.
Also, thanx to Ruscavo, I noticed that we don't have thief/rogue among us. I haven't planned to make my NPC as rogue, but no-one wants to accept that role, then I could make few arrangements and changes to my char.

Soz Kipi, I did read your post saying you were full. I didn't mean could I join, I was mearly asking Chus if he would like to adapt my char for his own use if he wanted to change from a ranger.
Maybe it wasn't clear. I would have loved to have joined but time constraints would be my enermy, so I couldn't. Just trying to help thing go smoothly tis all!

Well, I could also have understood wrong what you meant. So no problem on that thing

Alright thanks Rav,so like I said I would like to be a fighter now what information do I need to fill out now?
hey Rav where did you go?
Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2005 12:54 pm
by Ravager
Right, choose a race you want your character to be from the [url="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/races.htm#humans"]list[/url]...
The race you choose will affect the statistics you rolled.
hey Rav where did you go?
Sorry, the computer was just going slowly.

I would choose a half-elf.....can you explain what a save throw is....I have also heard it on KotOR.
Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2005 1:06 pm
by Ravager
You get a save (saving) throw whether you're character is trying to avoid the effect of something, say the full damage of a spell- you would need a die roll of 15 for example to 'save', if you got that or higher, you would end up less damaged or not poisioned etc.
Right, using the numbers you rolled yesterday...
14
16
16
10
12
15
Those need to go into STR (ength), CON (stitution), DEX(terity), (WIS)dom, INT(elligence) and CHA(risma). I'd recommend for a Fighter, the highest numbers go into STR and CON and the lowest go into CHA and WIS. So 16 STR + 16 CON, 10 WIS, 12 CHA, 14 INT and 15 DEX
I'll just type up some more stuff for it.
