Character creation

Quick question: Bare Bones gives me a base level of armour if I don't wear armour - since a shield adds to armour, does it count as armour for that condition, or since it's a secondary weapon, does it count as a weapon instead of armour?

Also, Knowledge is misspelled on the charsheet. :D

As is Leap.

Right, my character is mostly done - I haven't chosen weapons yet, as that depends partly on the answer to the armour question above, and partly on what I'll go with for -maybe a shield and mace, maybe a great weapon of some sort. Going to go with Bare Bones and Forceful Push for starting cards, I think.

Guesclinbert the Raven is a winged goblin, a rarity, and thus marked as the community's guardian defender. The last survivor of Gobtown, he was sent off on a mission by the community's seer, and returned after two weeks away to find the community destroyed. There was little but ashes left where once the town stood, and no sign of who or what had destroyed the place. After several days spent burning what remained of the corpses of the place in a great pyre, Guesclinbert replaced the white robes that signified his office with mourning black, and set forth in search of who - or what - had done this.

He has many questions - did the Seer know, and send him away on purpose, so that one of the community would survive to tell others of what happened, and to bring vengeance on the defiler? What happened exactly? Are there any other survivors?

One question that he is not concerned with is what he will do once his vengeance has been satisfied.



Guesclinbert is scrawny - he's been neglecting food and his health since finding the destroyed community - but driven by vengeance that fills him with power. Rather than an angel, he's more fallen angel at this point. Unlike most seraphs, he isn't devoted to a god - at least, that he knows of - but was instead marked from birth by his wings as a protector of the community. After the carnage, he has found that he retains his powers of healing and warfare, though he is driven more now by revenge. The ashes he carries are what remains of his community and act as a reliquary, the focus of his powers.

He doesn't communicate with any gods, but often sees the ghosts of his community, who do talk to him. When they aren't screaming, anyway. They remain silent on what happened, which makes Guesclinbert think that they're just figments of his imagination, but it must be his subconscious, since they often remind him of things that happened far in his past that he'd otherwise forgotten. Either that or they are real.

I agree. Shield are "secondary weapons" and not armor

my father, when he was alive, would add new words to his spellcheck when he couldn't get the word that he was looking for to appear.

I'm listening to critical role, the age of an Umbra, dagger heart series. And we were talking about experiences earlier, one of their experiences in the group is "Boom, motherfucker." I don't know what it does.

It's fun and a good intro to the mechanics of the game.

I started watching as well!

Honestly, some day I want to make a character where I could just make an experience "Boom Motherfucker"...a boy could dream

We are on the final home streach of the character creation. MaJunior is catching up.

Lets start to work on the connections and relationships. I would prefer if there were a chain of connections that bound you all together
a-b-c-d-e
not
a-b-c
d-e
Does that make sense?

Ok so Daedale (maybe just Dale to his friends? Never played a Dale before) is an academic.

Anyone else close to that thematically?

So we should ask each other player one question.

Franklin, What did we do that got us thrown out of Z?

That sort of thing.

I'm pretty sure my dad would have agreed too. After his brain tumour, he did crosswords to try to regain his vocabulary / memory, but wasn't shy of creating new words that fit if he didn't know the answer. :D

I'm good for contacts with anyone. He could easily have joined the merchant caravan after or before finding out his community had been destroyed, for example.

Do we want to do those kinds of questions in the open and role play ignorance or do them in private messaging? For some questions it's not an issue, but one of the example questions for the Rogue is something like (book not in front of me): What secret did you share that you keep from the group?

I'm fine with either. :)

Maybe for anything "That you keep from the group" we could use a private message in the channel. So we can include Rune and the other person with. Everything else seems pretty open.
