Welcome and talk here.

Sounds pretty good. Halfling Ranger is nice and you can fight with two weapons sure. Good story too thanks.

I think the best option for captain would probably be the warlord, both from a flavor and a mechanics POV. But he's the cook, so....

I'll just say that you need a lot of feats to stay relevant. Not sure how high we're planning to go here, so that may or may not matter.

Looks like we've got all four roles filled, so I'm going to play around with a few ideas. I know I'm going to be dragonborn, but aside from that, I'm not sure yet.

My sheets all done, I think anyway. Just one question, where does the running attack feature in place of the prime shot come from I can't seem to find it in the PHB's but I've seen it whilst googling.

the name of it is Running Attack?

Ah, running attack is in Martial Power 2.

Ah that's why I can't find it in the phb then.

Are we allowed to use powers and feats from the supplements?

Hey guys, if no one else has claimed it, I'd like to put my character forward for the Gunner position. I'm thinking of having my character come from a well-to-do family. He obtained a commission after graduating from an artillery school.

He was well on his way to a promising career, but a fateful encounter with a beautiful woman, and a duel afterwards saw an end to that idea. Cast out by his family, my character now uses his skills on the sailing ships looking for a new life.

What roles haven't been filled yet? I can see my Fighter being a Striker..

Roles are more tied to your class than your build in this system. It's different from 3e/5e where you can make them tankier or healier or whatever by changing stats and numbers around, in 4e it's more hard coded into your class' identity.

In the Fighter's case, he's a defender. You can always build your character around a secondary role, so you could make our Gunner be a Defender/Striker, but if you wanna go all in on damage, perhaps another class is more appropriate?

Hybrids are allowed, as well as supplements. Just cite where you're getting stuff from. Characters can be from any European country theoretically but you need to speak French and work under the French Flag. Remember also that the Protestant Reformation just happened about 30 years ago, so there is big emphasis on Lutheran, Calvanist, Catholic, Jewish, Greek Orthodox and/or even Muslim. Those are things to consider as well, though Pirates were much more welcoming of everyone than other typical organizations.

Dragonborn can be from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, etc...Have fun and work it into the game. Captains were always democratically elected on Pirate ships and you also have 50 sailors on the ship too. But you can elect Captain among yourselves and it is not necessarily dependent on a Warrior type. For example: The most successful pirate of all time, was Black Bart, who rose up from being a deckhand to Captain.

Anyways, have fun with this guys. This game is very different and should be fun. Remember Linguist Feat could be very handy as well. Thanks.

Balgan, I approved your character, but fixed one thing. Rangers start with 12 plus CON score for HP, so your HP should be 26, not 19. You had done 5 plus CON score, but that is only for levels past 1st. Thanks.

Oh...We can use other books? Like the Powers? I might change up my build a little. The Shaper Psion was my favorite but I didn't think it was an option.

Yes that is fine, as long as you can cite it to me and I can read it. The only books not allowed are the Setting Specific books. You can change up your character, no worries. I want you to have fun and options. Just always check with me first if in doubt thanks.

Yeah. I happen to own all the "X Powers" books, it would only be from there if not the 3 PHBs.

Ok cool, no problem. I own a few of them, thus I want it cited, so I can look it up online if needed. I guess I wasn't clear on that, my bad. Just no Essentials or Setting Specific books.

Ah thanks, never say no to more HP.
I might have another look at the martial power 2 then.

Also in regards to languages halfling says common plus one other, so that would be French plus one other?

I’m thinking that I would like to be a navigator. Playing as a deva, I would like my memories of a thousand lifetimes to be adventurous times at sea. In real life I am learning Portuguese, so that will be my second of three languages. I’m thinking German would be my third, as Tavar spent some time studying with Martin Luther. I’m not sure how long it will take me to fill out the character sheet, but I like the structure.
I’m thinking about multi classing into Rune Priest because I like adding some divine on top of my divine.

Is there rumors of monsters or actual in person reports that we have access to?

Balgan, were are not using Racial Languages other than what the Monsters will speak and there is no Common. However, you'd need to meet them first in order to eventually take a language from them. There is no Halfling, Dwarven, Gnomish, Orcish, etc...So everyone can start with 2 Real Life languages.

In 1550, Latin was very prevalent. Also there is French, Spanish, Dutch, English, Portuguese, Welsh, Scottish, German, Italian, Greek, Russian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Flemish, Arabic and Turkish.
