Harrigan Character Thread

A much better range. I'll go with this set if you're okay with it, DM, any heartburn or preference for Magic-User, Monk, Paladin, or Ranger?

I might be missing it -- I often mix up the various retroclones -- but I don't think S&W Complete has qualifying attributes for the classes? Absolutely could be wrong, but I'm not seeing it.

Ah, but there are alignment and race requirements...

They might have removed them from the new book, but the Character Creation Guide in this forum has the list. They were tucked in a weird spot, if I remember correctly.

My older hardcover and the new PDF -- don't seem to have them. But I'll keep looking.

You are a gentleman and a scholar -- those requirements are, and always were, IMO, a worthless impediment to player fun. Also, I think the new edition dumps them entirely.

Right, going Magic-User for sure. But before I write her up and choose a background and such, wondering about the best way to insert a new PC into the game at the moment.

Have three ideas, and I'm sure there are many more:

1 - Lone survivor of another party bound for the tower, ambushed by orcs and such.

2 - She's a city girl / rich girl who weedled her way into a magic college, and now her gruff, grumpy old teacher has sent her off, alone, on some question that will coincide with what the part is doing. (He probably has no faith she will succeed. And frankly I wouldn't either.)

3 - She has some connection to Corian or Galdar. Was expecting to meet them here, was supposed to bring an item, spell or reinforcements, etc...

Open to oither ideas as well.

Dig it. So has she figured out the goose chase was a wild one? Like that, and her being alone after some orc action. Reason to join up.

Hit Points and Gold.

Rolling for Spells... 75% chance for each.

Ouch. Some tough rolls there. No offensive spells!

Yikes, as a character starting higher than 1st level shouldn't you get your standard new level re-roll to learn missed spells?
