Some D&D Thing (OOC; Closed)

[Aelosia]

You did? From whom?

I guess my suggestion to invite people wasn't ignored.

From Thisbia. I did my application! So many memories of better times!

I used the Grey elf race template, as you did not ban any specifics. I can rework it into a normal high elf if you do not accept Grey Elves for any reasons.

[Olthar]

20 Dexterity? Fucking hell.
I love grey elves, by the way. They're awesome.
That picture doesn't particularly look like a grey elf...or even an elf...
The setting has been established, so you can write up your backstory. In fact, you should. The setting is at the top of the OP.
You don't need to fill out the class features for a rogue.
You have two too many skill points.
You need a month's worth of food, unless you're going to try making Survival checks and hope that your 50/50 chance is successful.

Fixed skills, (sorry, I think I just corrected them so many times and I forgot to erase a pair of points somewhere),fixed image (it is so HARD to find a decent picture of a grey elf...), and fixed food.

I'll write the backstory tomorrow, if I can.

Except the gives me darkvision and low-light - I'm essentially retaining it, just with a shorter range.

Honestly, I'm surprised you went with that aspect. It's very much the worst of the three. I'd have gone with the breath weapon. It may not do a whole lot of damage, but you can use it every 1d4 rounds, and it can be of any element. It's honestly one of the best breath weapons in the entire game.

I like the breath weapon, but at end-game, no magical dark vision and blind sense is better than something with a reflex save; tons of end-level monsters have evasion AND high saves. Plus, I'm on a mount - and I'd rather not hurt my mount (a cone or line would hit it) and the wings can be duplicated with a couple feats.

[Olthar]

Alright, so I need everyone to post their finalized app that I'm going to link in the list.

I just realized something, Firstaria: You need to pick a Profession. It's like Craft, Knowledge, and Perform; "Profession" is just a heading to combine a category of skills.

[Jormengand]

Alright, so I need everyone to post their finalized app that I'm going to link in the list.

All right. I'm currently on a really bad computer which takes ages to load each web page. If you can find which page it's on then I can jump to it directly, but otherwise it'll just take ages.

Just plug your character's name into the search function, and it'll be easy to find.

Yeah, I still need to do that, too, in fact. I was actually just about to start working on it now that Firstaria has been added to the second post.

[Jormengand]

Oh yeah, what deities can we have in the setting? The thing you gave us doesn't tell me anything about deities.

[Olthar]

I dunno. Ask the DM.

Fair do's. I could steal the PF deity list as a placeholder, I guess.

Two sentences? No. You need to write more. A lot more.

I can't really write more until I know more about the setting than the names of two places and a vague indication of what one of them is like.

Then you're not trying hard enough. I'm currently on paragraph three of my backstory, and I'm still talking about her early childhood.

When you write a character's bio, do you really need people to know every detail of every aspect of their life? There's no real point in it.

[Firstaria]

Well, let's leave the gods for when we arrive in cities.

Yes there is. It builds a fuller, more complex character. Maybe it's overkill for some normal forum RP, but this is D&D. D&D is all about the detail and the complexity. If you don't have a complete backstory, you're doing it wrong. Of course, I won't be writing some 500 page biography, but I am still going to go over the important things in order to build up her and her motivations

[Olthar]

I got distracted for a while there, but I've now finished my backstory.

[Hamste]

Can you link my app in the beginning thing also?
