[knighthawk]

Name:
'Sand' (no foundation, nothing but the ghost of stone)
Race:
Dwarf
Gender:
Male
Age:
250
Class:
Paladin
Alignment:
Lawful Good
God/Godess:
Wee Jass
Appearance:


No thick beard on his face, no gorgeous locks upon his head. He is as strongly built as any warrior dwarf can be. Where others bodies are sculpted by carving rock or shaping steel, he was formed by cutting flesh and breaking bones. He stands a four foot at his tallest and weighs twenty stones.

Background:
His family was of the first-fallen, atheist front line shock troops for the dwarven clans who had no needs for magic or gods. He fought alongside brethren until one day he committed an act so heinous, it struck his name from the family history. A god marked him. After releasing one hundred dead arisen against their will, Wee Jas turned all his golden hairs blood red to show her favor to him.

They held him down and made him bald before throwing him off the mountain. He finally recovered just as the call came out from Thunderwalker. If his family would look away, he would earn this new honor for himself, and his goddess.

Notable Events:
None.

Appearance:

Donal looks more human than most elves and is often confused as one, which is something he absolutely hates. He wishes that his ears were more pointed, giving him more elven attributes than human. Along with being rather human looking, he is also rather tall for an elf. He stands at about 6'7'', making visits to the dwarven lands extremely uncomfortable. He's skinnier than most, almost lanky really, and he weighs about 200 pounds, nearly underweight for someone of his height. Donal is often grimacing or glaring, something he can't really help. His eyes are an unnatural shade of red, his mother blaming the pigment on a family curse.

Carter doesn't really walk but instead stalks around in a very wraith-like manner. He takes big, quiet steps and quite often sneaks up on people. He slightly hunches when he walks, used to having to duck underneath most anything to get around.

Being relatively poor, Donal spent most of his money on a rather shoddy looking pair of leathers and a ratty cloak. He tried to find one's in a better black but ended up buying both things in a nearly the same dusty brown. These happen to be his favorite and only pair of clothes.

Picture

Background:
Carter lived in a small cottage with his mother, father, and five younger brothers and sisters, which mostly all look like himself. His father, Torin Carter, was the only one keeping them alive, earning his keep in the mines. He could only dig up enough to buy them all a simple meal and keep the house, but Donal was grateful regardless.

Carter wanted something better for his family, so when he was about 12, instead of working, he learned the craft of pickpocketing. He managed to get them better meals and let his father rest more than he would've otherwise.

Torin died of the Black Lung when Carter was about 17 and his mother nearly worked herself to death. Carter wasn't stealing enough to both keep the house and feed his siblings, so he ended up teaching them how to steal when they were kicked out into the streets. Donal could never work, and he didn't want a fate like his parents'. He's relatively laid back, now knowing that he should never starve for he can always take meals.

Equipment:
Rogue stuff I'd imagine.

Side Notes (Mostly for Me)

[Joshua Tamashii]

@LordofthePies You're missing your alignment, Deity, HP, Saves, skills and feats. You also never applied your racial bonuses of +2 to Dex and -2 to Con.

You'll start with 36 skill points, which you can distribute among your skill, up to 4 points per skill. On top of that, do not forget to apply the appropriate ability mods to them. You're class skills, which get the full benefits of these points, are Move Silently, Hide, Spot, Listen, Search, Disable Device, Open Lock, Climb, Use Magic Device, Sleight of Hand, Decipher Script, Bluff, and Intimidate. Putting points in any other skills result in them being half effective (2 points = 1 rank). As an Elf, you also get Racial Bonuses to Spot, Search, and Listen.

For Feats, you start with Sneak Attack (1d6) and Trapfinding, plus one more of your choice.

Your HP, after applying you Con mod after Racial Bonus, would be 7, as you are a Rogue.

Your Save would be as follows; Fort: +1, Ref: +5 and Will: +1.

Deity and alignment are entire up to you

[Ollumhammersong]

hmmm. When is this planned to start?

[Joshua Tamashii]

I am a newbie to the D&D, but I always wanted to try. May I join this as well?

@Tengri

I don't see @Joos saying no.

hmmm. When is this planned to start?

@Ollumhammersong

Again, a question for Joos.

[Joos]

More people are certainly welcome, @Tengri and @Ollumhammersong. I too am a newbie to DnD3.5, so that shouldn't stop you from joining, @Tengri.

I plan to start this in a day or two. I am still pouring over the DM manual to get used to the rules. And I am building a monster collection for this world. I will also share a map with you guys so you know where everything is. So I would say we still have some time.

@Joshua Tamashii - Considering how proficient you are in the rules, I suggest you continue to take the responsibility of vetting everyone's numbers in the CS. I will take care of the political/personality aspect of the character for now. I would really appreciate it if you can continue to scan the other CS. People, please take @Joshua Tamashii's suggestions as you would a DM's when it comes to building your characters.

@LordofthePies - I will wait for you to fill skills, feats and your correct numbers before approving your character.

Joshua and @knighthawk - both your characters are approved. I will update the Characters tab myself.

@Joos

I'll be happy to help where I can.

[Joshua Tamashii]

@Tengri @Ollumhammersong If you two need help, let me know. I'll do what I can. But I will be leaving for work soon and my knowledge is limited when I don't have my books around, but I will still try my best.

If you still plan on joining. If so, let Joos know so he can roll ya some stats.

[Ollumhammersong]

I am no stranger to D&D. 3.5e especially. I've read through those handbooks more times than I care to admit.

As for if I am joining. I don't know. Maybe. Throw me some stats for now and I will see what I can make from them.

[LordofthePies]

So sorry for the wait, I think I've got it right this time.

@Joos

@Ollumhammersong: your numbers are 11, 12, 17, 14, 12, 10

[Ollumhammersong]

Having some trouble picking a character. Druid or bard?

[knighthawk]

Having some trouble picking a character. Druid or bard?

@Ollumhammersong

BARD!

[Joshua Tamashii]

Having some trouble picking a character. Druid or bard?

@Ollumhammersong

We have a need for both.

From the bard, we could use the charismatic leader who can get into places through his personality and get intel from other NPCs more easily.

From the Druid, we could use the heals and we also the benefit of you bringing along another party member through your animal companion.

Both are excellent support casters and would make excellent additions to our part thus far (Paladin, Wizard/Necromancer, and a Rogue)

[Ollumhammersong]

Support? Fuck that. My characters don't stay in the back. And my druid would not be played as you think. Nor would the animal companion.
