Aiden (1 rank). Can be used only at the beginning of a fight. Yelling as you join a fight gives your allies a bonus to morale enabling them to get a partial extra action, break an enthrallment, or get a second wind to delay exhaustion. Further ranks in this skill will grant allies a bonus to strength, speed, and spell/feat effectiveness in that order. Charge. Argurios (1 rank). When running all out at a target there is chance for surprise and to knock them off their feet. If charging with a weapon there is an increased change to damage target. Further ranks in this skill will increase the damage caused from the charge and the size of opponents able to knock down as well as add the ability to charge from a mount. Grapple. Argurios (1 rank). Aiden (1 rank). In a close quarter fight the user can effectively tackle a humanoid opponent of no more than 25% size difference to the ground.

Copper, silver, gold, platinum. They come in a variety of shapes and mints but the generic value is the same (based on metal weight) however unscrupulous merchants/people might “shave” the coins so they are worth less to try and scam unsuspecting travelers. There are also “location specific” coins which we might, rarely, run across. These have almost no value except in their specific locales. 1 sp = 10 cp 1 gp = 10 sp 1 pp = 10 gp gems, pearls, gond bells, shaar rings, ivory, elven coins are also often used as currency. Silver trade bars are unique to Baulder’s gate and we will encounter them; they only have value if undamaged; they weigh about 2 lbs and are worth 10 gp in Baulder’s gate, 5 gp everywhere else. In our adventure gems, platinum, and bartering (goods or work) will be more reliable means of securing supplies needed.

Period. 4: GM’s word is Law but I welcome suggestions and ideas for your character/story…please always feel free to PM me. OrcPunx will be assisting me as co-gm. 5: Quality & Quantity—this story focuses on character depth and development, as your character grows emotionally, morally, physically so to will the story and it will be adapted to your characters strengths and weaknesses. There is no posting minimum but about 1x/week is preferred. Co-posts are also welcome. I can rarely post more than 2x/week so if you are looking for a fast moving RP this might not be for you. 6: Warning—Bad things may happen to your characters. Very little of it is unavoidable or irreversible however. 7: if you intend a length of absence PM the GM, in this story one can easily be lost and recovered later. 8: Remember your characters are extremely inexperienced and downright weak—they should not act suddenly as if they know everything, are able to do all, and can survive anything. The obvious course of action is rarely the best course of action. 9.) I use PMs regularly to convey information, hints, clues, trouble…things unique to your character. 10.) On the occasions I am gone others may be drafted to keep the story moving. If you are interested in helping out with this please leave a note at the bottom of your character sheet and I’ll keep you in mind. [/hider] [hider=Basic Character Information] There is a limit of 8 player characters, not counting the GM, as well as a limit to the number of particular class archetypes. Races are mostly limited to the ‘common’ fantasy races, particularly those from 3.0-3.5 Dungeons and Dragons, (human, dwarf, elf, half-elf, gnome, halfling, half-orc). If you have another let me know but remember these kids are exceptionally ordinary. Characters may be drawn towards a specific fantasy “class” but it is not yet theirs to claim. They are, in numerical terms, 0 level. They have very little experience of life or the world. They are between the ages of 10-15 and simply haven't had time or experiences to truly perfect many skills. Most often the obvious solution to a problem will simply not be achievable with the limited skills and abilities of these youth—they will need to learn to use their wits to survive. . Our class limits will be: • 3-4 warrior types (1 ranger active 1 fighters active) • 2 divine magic types (0 monk active) • 2-3 rogue types (0 thief active) • 1-2arcane magic type (1 mage active) [hider=Character Sheet Format] Name: Age: Gender: Race: Class: (Level 0) What you want to be when you grow up? (What do you aspire to be, or to do, in the future when your apprenticeships and training are complete?) Who is your mentor? (name, relationship, craft: Someone must have raised you? Taught you a trade? Your skills? The only ones who might not have had a mentor are those petty thieves and urchins who were raised on the street.) Brief Biography: Tell us where you came from and how you were raised. What person(s) of interest do you know where you are from? Who all do you have a relationship with?: Equipment: As a child, you don’t have much aside from a few tools of your trade and perhaps some knickknacks that have special sentimental value. Nothing magical, those things must be earned. Class Skills: (What skills do you possess? Can you play an instrument? Pick a lock? Remain hidden in the shadows? Can you swing a sword? Draw a bow? Perhaps you’re even studying the magical or divine arts and know a few basic cantrips that you can list? Most of the skills your mentor taught you should be listed and described here. Please limit yourself to no more than 4 skills [NOTE: each cantrip/spell/orison counts as one skill]) Life Skills: (What special things have you learned just growing up in general? In your day-to-day life? Can you read? What about write? Has your training as a blacksmith taught you how to repair metal equipment? Has farming taught you how to tend a garden or animals? Have you spent your life running from bullies so you’ve gotten very good at hiding? Maybe your mind is sharp and you can instantly recall names and faces after a single meeting? Your life skills should be listed here. Please limit yourself to no more than 4 points of knowledge.) Regional Skills: See GM for this Adventure Clues: (what have you personally collected on the adventure, physical items, advice, encounters, that are clues to what is happening or how to stop it? Have you told anyone about each?)
