OOC Character Concept and Posting

Please feel free to post and discuss character ideas here.

I'm thinking of going with a Fighter. He saw too much during the war and came home to simply be the village blacksmith.

Whatever happens at the start of the game..pulls him back into it.

I think I like the specialist and the dice might help with some ideas.

Charisma - 6 mod -1
Constitution - 7 mod -1
Dexterity - 12 mod - 0
Intelligence - 11 mod - 0
Strength - 11 mod - 0
Wisdom - 11 mod - 0

Yes! Switching Wisdom 6 with Charisma and Intelligence 7 with Constitution (he or she is not very personable, and that's ok because he/she is sneaky, smart, and wise with a slightly weak constitution hence the desire to sneak around.)

Fighter is appealing, but I think I'll see about a Specialist. Someone who is trying to get by during these trying times by whatever means necessary.

Well... this is complete crap. 😂

Let's see how the dice favor me...

Rolls

Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha - (3d6, 3d6, 3d6, 3d6, 3d6, 3d6)

3d6 : (364) = 13

3d6 : (636) = 15

3d6 : (234) = 9

3d6 : (514) = 10

3d6 : (122) = 5

3d6 : (341) = 8

Sp ultimately it's not as bad as I first thought.

13 = +1
15= +1
9= 0
10= 0
5= -2
8=-1

So Here's what I'm thinking of going with. Still hanging with the idea of a Fighter. He was injured and scarred up pretty good during the war. As a result he came home and simply wants to lead as normal a life as he can. Maybe as the blacksmith..maybe as some other job. Either way, Here's my final stats.

STR 15 (+1)
DEX 13 (+1)
CON 8 (-1)
INT 9 (0)
WIS 10 (0)
CHA 5 (-2)

Can you swap around as many stats as you want? The book makes it sound like you can only trade one set...
In order, the stats are rolled alphabetically (not the same order as D&D). My only good stat is Wisdom (my last one), but I'm not super keen on Cleric...

Just one swap I am afraid.

No I changed my mind. Swap as much as you like. It should be fun and I noticed others do it too 😂
Nov 10, 2022 6:19 pm
So, I was correct RAW at least. Glad I can still read! Public schools and all... lol
Nov 10, 2022 8:19 pm
I read it as two swaps. đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«đŸ˜ƒ
Nov 11, 2022 7:54 pm
I've just joined as of now. I had been working on a character sheet, if that interests any of you. I haven't played this game before, so perhaps it could be automated or tweaked some.

Let's see what the dice suggest for my character. Discarding the first set, since the total modifiers is less than 0.

I think I'll swap Str and Int and make a Magic-User, no, an Elf!

Str 14 (+1), Dex 8 (-1), Con 11 (+0), Int 17(+2), Wis 15 (+1), Cha 13 (+1)

I'm always interested in a nice character sheet. Thanks for doing this Qralloq!

Not 100% sure I've settled her name yet, but submitted Magdalena the Magic-User. Made her sheet public and would humbly request the other players do the same. Makes it much easier to get to know your companions...
Nov 13, 2022 1:56 pm
This is my first PBP game/first time using Gamers Plane. How do you share your sheet? Are you just copy/pasting it?
Nov 13, 2022 2:45 pm
Here's a short video on making sheets public

Mine is now public.
Nov 13, 2022 5:10 pm
Mine should also be as well. Thanks for the video
Nov 14, 2022 4:54 am
Yeah, thanks for the helpful link and making the video, Qralloq. And for making your sheets public, everyone!
Nov 15, 2022 3:59 pm
Character is almost done, I'll post either today or tomorrow.
Nov 15, 2022 5:24 pm
Same same. I probably would have posted last night, but I passed out right after dinner.
Nov 16, 2022 6:11 pm
Submitted, still have some minor(?) details to work out.
Nov 16, 2022 11:50 pm
Thank you. Main pieces are there so approved!
Nov 17, 2022 5:28 am
Is the presumption that we PCs know one another already, or at least have seen each other around?
Nov 17, 2022 7:11 pm
Cool. What does everyone think about how well we know one another? Have we been traveling together, or have we just seen one another around? Specifically, do we know one of us is an elf, and one of us is Witchie Poo? I think not, but...
Nov 17, 2022 7:55 pm
I'm clearly an elf. I think we should know each other's names, perhaps known enough to chat with comfortably. But secrets are secrets.

I don’t know if this is exactly what you’re looking for, but if you’ve known Alderic for any length of time you’d know are that he’s human, was originally from the village and used to own a farm. Got conscripted for the Franco-Dutch war and came back to find his farm had been seized for falling into arrears. Neighbors bought up the land quasi-legally and now he’s pissed at the locals and the government and doesn’t much care who knows it.
Nov 18, 2022 12:09 am
Some of us could be from the same farming village and know each other or we know each other through bartered farm things. Raddieux and Farfule know each other from nefarious schemes they have gotten up to. If anyone wants to share any background event/s or relationships with Farfule that's cool with me.
Nov 18, 2022 12:30 am
I'd assume Gilles knows Farfule and Raddieux to some degree, just because of what we get up to.
Nov 27, 2022 3:09 pm
@LauraChiGio Are we going to forge ahead soon with the game?
Nov 27, 2022 8:32 pm
Windyridge says:

Please. At the moment the crowd is at the church and with Alderic and the Monsignor. The rest of you may wish to speak in a quiet moment.
Dec 2, 2022 9:09 pm
Wait, are we backing up to when we were at the well?
Dec 2, 2022 11:31 pm
No. Alderic is heading to town to blend in. You are all still in the barn deciding your actions.
Dec 3, 2022 3:10 am
Quote:
It was curious to him that the same four people should now be gathered around the well.
Ok. Can't blame me for double checking.
Dec 3, 2022 3:53 am
Well, for what it's worth, the scenes have converged. He came to the barn or we went back to the well...
Dec 3, 2022 4:41 pm
I think we can make it work!
Dec 3, 2022 6:56 pm
Folks, this doesn't often happen to me, but I think I'm suffering from that "why the hell would these people work together" syndrome. In a fast-paced, pulpy adventure game it's no biggie. Just roll with it! In a moody period piece like this, my suspension of disbelief is just breaking. I don't see this crew hanging out with my (chaotic, devil-worshipping) witch, and vice-versa.

So while I really like the game, the characters and the unfolding plot... (you're doing a great job, LauraChiGio), I'm probably going to step back here and remove Magdalena, greatly simplifying the scene and the story.
Dec 3, 2022 8:18 pm
That’s a shame. I could have seen it being an interesting relationship with her and the grave-robbing, priest-assaulting Alderic, especially since he now knows where the witch lives.
Dec 3, 2022 10:32 pm
Tell you what, I hate being a quitter, so unless folks object I'll play her through at least the end of this scene / chapter. We'll see how things feel then.
Dec 3, 2022 10:35 pm
I'm all for you staying with us.
Dec 4, 2022 4:47 pm
I would be sad to see you go Harrigan but I am sorry if I did something to make this not fun.
Dec 5, 2022 1:55 am
LauraChiGio -- nope, nothing you did. Please don't take it that way! I should have spoke up earlier and been clearer about who I thought Magdalena would be. She's a witch! Like a devil-worshipping, spell-hunting, infernal deal striking witch. And it seems to be just tripping and jumbling us up -- or at least me up.

Like I said, let's finish the scene (if that's okay), then we'll see. Your GMing's been great, and I'd happily play with you again, FYI.
Dec 9, 2022 5:50 am
GM -- based on her class / focus / schtick, is there anything you can tell me that Magdalena would know about a) this book, b) how to protect against or dispel infernal entities like this one, or c) demons generally?

She would not know the particulars of this specific book. It is likely to be a book of magic which has been possessed in a curse ritual. She at this level could not dispel Sehk it she is aware of the power he represents and will likely a demon not to be treated trivially.
