OT: D&D 4e or: Wanna slaughter some minions?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Astorax has noted that a party without a fighter will probably get squashed.

/me would like to note that fighters are fun in 4e.

[Astorax]

I have decided on playing a Halfling Rogue. He is the bomb. That is all.

2 Halfling Rogues/Thieves ?

Well I suppose if you really do, I can go back to my fighter, or maybe a star pact warlock.

We might need a vote on party alignment - My 'Evil party' comment simply happened because the two people that seemed interested at that point both wanted evil characters, which combined with my normal enthusiasm.

Anyway, Good, Evil or Unaligned?

Just to note, if nobody votes or the vote is inconclusive, the default is 'No less than unaligned and no CN'.

[Randallw]

Unaligned is ok I would think. We're not dogooders going out of our way to help others, we're just wanting to make some money, but we're also not intent on stabbing each other in the back. We'll work together, but it might be that if a Dragon attacks someone we're not being paid enough to get involved.

You know, I'm really becoming interested in a warlock (star pact), messing about with uncomprehendable intelligences from beyond the stars. I'll leave the halfling rogue to Astorax.

If anyone wants to do a combat test, I'm on OpenRPG server Test, the second room (Not including the lobby).

[narf poit chez BOOM]

OpenRPG is very glitchy on miniatures and doesn't update the map when you upload a new file.

Maptools disconnected everybody after about a half-hour. (Although at least I can save/load)

Anyone know of a good free RPG/chat program?

4e point buy is on pages 17 and 18 of the PHB. They give both how to generate your own stat array and a list of quite a few premade stat arrays. Just look down the list on page 18 for a set of numbers you like. Note: If you insist on having an 18, the rest of your stats will be mediocre.

Let's see, that's two strikers, a leader, and a controller. Guess I better make a defender.

Oh, and Nocturnal, it would be a good idea for you to take Scorching Blast. I don't think any other class gets an at will area attack, and that can be rather important if we ever fight a huge mass of minions.

Littering the job board:

The first and last ones are open to newbie parties; the second would require a patent of nobility of some kind; the third requires that you be able to at least fake providing information.

And some plotlines based on what's in the DMG:

Would like to hire porters for the portage of cargoes.

Strength and combat experience a must.

---------------------------

Squire Serim Selduzar, Unfotunate third son,

is looking to establish himself,
(Having little else to do but follow tradition,
and join the clergy; but he finds he enjoys,
the high life more than the high-minded,
life) and is hoping to assist adventurers in,
clearing out monsters (Kobolds, goblins, yada,
and etc) and bandits, from various locations,
for an 'Agents Fee' to be negotiated.

Which is a rather long-winded way of saying that,
I, with my ear to the ground, am selling information,
on likely looting opportunites to the wandering,
Adventurer.

Enquire within,
Nenter Inn

---------------------------

Lord Warden Faren Markelhay (Seal)
