Thanks, I was just looking at the OSRIC rules and figured I ought to start rolling something up. Good thing I looked here first. First 6 rolls for abilities are below. If I remember correctly it's 4d6 drop the lowest.
That comes out as 12, 9, 14, 13, 13, 6 Not real good but I'll try to make something of it.

So, with the highest score being 14 and deciding to play a Human character, I can't do a Druid, a Paladin or a Ranger. Nor can I play those characters as an Elf or Dwarf. I'm rather bored with Clerics right now playing several already in current games and I'm leery of playing a magic-user at first level. That pretty much leaves Fighter. So that begs the question are you planning on using the fighter rules of weapon specialization? I'll let you know if any more questions come up.

Ehr, yes, max hit points at first level, just to provide some cushion. I will be using fighter specialization rules. Also, recall that in OSRIC death occurs at -10 hit points, not 0. Because of the nature of PbP, I will not be enforcing the rule that characters who return from negative hit points must rest at least one week before resuming activity (OSRIC, p. 130). Instead, they must rest for 1d6 rounds. Scarring (from being reduced to -6 hit points or below) still applies.

Looks like Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser to me. It's been a long, long time since I read any Fritz Leiber. He was my father's favorite author. Dad died in 1979 at an age two years younger than I am now. Now all we need is a Cleric and a Magic User. But please don't let Griffo go off on any of his extended voyages of discovery. lol

Background
Illegitimate daughter of a bakluni mother, and of a (now-deceased) elven sell-sword, Cynara has been on the road for a number of years. Her mother was the scion of a wealthy family of traders from the caliphate of Ekbir, who during her early years accompanied and later led trade expeditions from the Dramidj Ocean to Ket and beyond. Soraya fell in love with an elven sell-sword who had been charged with her protection during one such very long trade expedition, and the fruit of their unlawful tryst was the child Cynara. The father fled soon after the pregnancy was discovered, as much out of fear of retribution as out of indifference towards his offspring. Shunned by her maternal family, and deprived of any rights by the caliphate's laws, Cynara was nonetheless protected for many years by her mother. She bears no family name, and was not admitted into the household as a relative, but was tolerated by the disappointed and spiteful grandparents whose considerable wealth bought her as fine an education as could be hoped. Soraya's later marriage to an Ekbirian notable, around Cynara's teen years created a wedge between them; hoping both to protect her daughter, but also to distance her from the new family, Soraya dispatched her illegitamate daughter to a nunnery of the Ladies of Fate, where Cynara began the lengthy training in the priestly devotions of Istus. Wanderlust, curiosity about her origins and about the wider world eventually led the newly minted acolyte to seek adventure abroad. She served as a caravan guard and trained as a fighter on the two-year long pilgrimage to the Central flaeness. At the borders of the Gnarley forest, she discovered that her father had never returned to his village in the woods, and was reputed dead as a wealth-seeking mercenary in skirmishes along the Wild Coast, a meaningless end to a valueless life (or so it seemed to Cynara). Finding herself alone, and in need of a purpose, Cynara spent weeks in feverish prayer. At one point she heard of troubles brewing in the Village of Homlett, and considered this a call to action from her goddess. Would need to change the last sentence, to have her heading to Saltmarsh rather than Homlett

Well, this crew does move fast. A lot has happened in the last 13 hours. When I started my character there were only 4 slots. We are now 6. So far we have a Fighter (me), a Thief, a Paladin and a Monk. I had wanted to play a Druid but didn't have the numbers. Mat, it might best for the party if you took the Druid. Haven't seen anything from dankel yet. We don't have a magic-user. With 5 protectors that would be a very good option for someone.
Mar 11, 2020 6:28 pm
Okay, attempting to sort out the answers:
Multiclassing for demi-humans is, of course, permitted per the OSRIC 2.2 rules.
Can a single party contain both a paladin and an assassin? Wow! I never thought that I would find myself answering that question. Hmm. Ordinarily, I would say no, as the two are diametrically opposed. However... the idea intrigues me. I'm going to dictate that the paladin's deity has ruled that the paladin MUST adventure with this group. He doesn't have to like it, and he doesn't have to approve of the group's methods, but he is stuck as their moral compass. He is expected to lead by example in the hopes of turning them to the path of righteousness.
Also, I am going to allow thieves the use of the short bow because I'm nice that way. However, backstabbing is still melee only!

So what world is it? Well, if we're playing 1st edition, why not go ahead and say that we are in Greyhawk, as most of the adventures we're playing were written for that world anyway? The year is 576 CY. The wars have not yet occurred (and may not occur). If you need more info on Greyhawk and your Google-fu is weak, some links are below:
