I'll take next in the rotation.
@Charnobylisk

Yeah. I'm going to help with that cry, too.

Had a position already picked out for her, and everything.
Hell, I thought it was released earlier than that, too. Go fig. I'm sure we can find an equally impressive archer to reference and keep the gag going.

Lego-lass comes to mind (thanks, Aewin!)

Ok, if Kyra's got it as an ability, I can't in good conscience have you do away with it. I will put to note, however, that Kyra was fashioned using D&D 3.5 rules. Kyra character wears leather armor, sans shield, and packs light. Mail and shield will make keeping afloat difficult.

Heroic Wind - if similar to Berserk, here's the 3.5 link.
Barbarian Rage can be found here.
Or you could check here: Berserker Kit, AD&D 2E, Fighter's Handbook. The kit starts at the bottom of page 29. Taking the kit would make for dramatic differences in your character, however.

Hide - Gotcha, mail covered with camo. If standing still, that's effective. I'd modify for shield unless precautions are taken, and understand that this goes for sight based location. The character would still be heard if sneaking around, but that's a different skill anyway. I'm good with it.

Ok, concerning Lucan and Saul - they're not with the group anymore. Files to be moved to the inactive character list. I mentioned my reservations to exactly this issue before, and it was addressed by the GM. Now, if your character has taken specific training in jumping techniques, great. Based off of strength, modified by encumbrance. Keep in mind while drafting posts.

Alright, here are my issues, to be overruled by our benevolent GM at her leisure:

Strength: 13, Weight: 145, Swim: Can swim without hindrance, including while in light armor and with pack. Nuh-uh.

I'm a little fuzzy on his "Far Leap" ability. I'd prefer it if there were some specifics involved, including differences between armored/encumbered vs. unarmored/unencumbered. If this ability is taken from an existing game or handbook, I'd love it if the source were cited. Also, is this variable, dependent upon his Strength stat?

You have listed ability with a Shield, Sword & Shield Style, Dagger, Mace, and Spear. Is it an oversight that he has no direct Sword skill?

The ability "Heroic Wind" sounds heavily exploitable. "Quick with his strikes, and only becomes faster and more skilled as the fight lengthens." Is there precedent for this ability elsewhere? Are there limitations to this ability, or does he become a combat deity if a fight goes long enough? If this is similar to a Berserker's Rage ability, it can be worked with.

"Hide: When holding still with minimal coverage or in shadows you will go unnoticed if someone tries to spot you." Does this account for his armor?

"Spell: Sense taint: Can sense the presence of undead, vampires, and dark sorcery (vaguely) by his cursed arm throbbing. Makes his arm slightly weakened (initially, perhaps for a post or two)." Is this automatic, or must it be checked for? What are the limitations to this power? And what is considered "Dark Sorcery" for the purposes of this power?

"Magical Item, Ocarina: Blessed by being dipped into Phelqwyn's glade waters." What does this confer to the Ocarina? Is it what gives the Ocarina its "Serene Music" spell? Or is the spell something he knows and can perform with any, mundane instrument?

Guaren Juice and Lantern Leaf: What are the purposes of these items?

The curse on his arm: It is destroyed, as per character history, but still gives him magical powers. Is there a downside? Is this treated as a magical item?


For the purposes of making communication a little easier with NPCs, Cricket will have been journeying to, and living in, Oasis since the the Kokiri Forest came under Ganon's control. Interaction might have been fuzzy at first, but the natives and newcomers will have eventually figured out what his deal is.

He's the kind of guy that likes to get to know people in his down time, play music, and learn how those interesting Gerudo women do that twirling fighting style with the pretty, curved swords. If it's mission time, his allies will have found him useful at information gathering, intrusion, scouting, and good, old fashioned, targeted assassination.

If anyone wants to involve or interact before the RP begins proper, please let me know.


Sorry, I had to. Moral imperative.
Tossing an idea out there - depending upon how long each of us has been at the Oasis, our characters may have gotten to know each other. Relationships may have formed, be it friendship, casual acquaintanceship, drinking buddies, sparring partners, etc. Teaching and/or learning new skills from NPCs or each other maybe.

Looking at character histories and their locations during the war, some of them might even have relationships prior to coming to Oasis. Any thoughts?
Keystone was done. He'd had just about enough dealings with an immortal and possibly unkillable enemy, an enigmatic spiritual force that might or might not be a prime source of Evil and/or a former farm maiden, and bouts of shifting reality. It was a good time to find Saran and their equipment, then finish what he came back to Two Stars to accomplish. Glith be damned, Kaylee be damned. If he and Sir Rottingarse had an accord, however shaky, he was willing to go along with it.

After he got back to Telflamm, he would be certain to turn over any information about the situation he had gleaned over the past couple of weeks to Tyr's people. They absolutely lived for epic quests to destroy ancient undead abominations.

Glith continued to exit scene, Keystone continued to watch him, thoughts of disinterest and distance playing heavily in his mind. At this time, the tiny creak of a window shutter drew his attention above, bringing with it the question of the hour: "Are you alright? We weren't sure ye'd live when it was done with ye!"

"Yeah, I'm just tops." breathed Keystone. It wasn't quite a whisper, as he wasn't trying to quiet himself; more of a barely audible vocalization of an internal monologue. He craned his neck up to see with whom he was speaking, and continued his thought with greater volume, "I'm missing some lot of things, including my friend and my weapons. And this place used to look a lot different. What exactly in sodding 'ell is goin' on here?"

I'm finding that the multiple errors are keeping all but the most determined from posting, and even then it's short & sweet OOC text. Perhaps we should cut the members and our GM a little slack.
