So, sounds like we're going with Vaneil then? Any further comments on that matter?

In other news, Nuke has asked to join us, so I've granted him permission to post here. Looks like we have our fourth now. I guess we won't be running an all female player group after all!

[Jenara]

Yay for the non all girl group!

Areilon Landar. - High Elf - Privateer.

STR: 10
DEX: 14 +1 for being an Elf = 15
CON: 12 - 1 for being an Elf = 11
INT: 12
WIS: 9
CHA: 13

You need 13 in Str, Dex, Int and Chr to be a Swashbuckler! So Buccaneer (which only needs 10 con) fits her well, she can dress and act like a swashbuckler, without any of the bonuses.

Hey, you're right. That's kind of odd, because the fighter version of the Swashbuckler kit only requires a DEX and INT of 13, and the two versions are remarkably similar.

So you can be a buccanneer, but if you want to be a swashbuckler instead, you can use move your scores around to have a DEX and INT of 13 or better and that's fine, too.

[Jenara]

Well as it only needs a swap of Chr for Int I think I'll do that, so:

STR: 10
DEX: 15
CON: 11
INT: 13
WIS: 9
CHA: 12

They are pretty acceptable scores really, quick, bright and quite likeable, but not very strong, hardy or wise.

[JadedDM]

Yep, looks good.

Your character will start with 3 WP, 6 NWP, and 3 languages. Please roll 2d6 for her starting gold, and post it here. Then multiply that number by 10, and that's how much money you start with, so you can buy your gear.

Remember that your extra WP slot must be dedicated to your "weapon of choice" which you can fight with the skill of a fighter. It must be stiletto, main-gauche, rapier or sabre. You must dedicate half of your WP throughout your career to learning all of these weapons. So two of your starting WP are devoted to one of the aforementioned four weapons, and the third is up to you. Make sure to specify which of the two dedicated to the aforementioned weapons is your 'weapon of choice.'

The Thieves' Handbook says that you must take Etiquette and Tumbling, but I really don't care if you do or don't. Up to you.

The Thieves' Handbook also says that as a swashbuckler, you can perform disarm attempts. Well, anyone can do that in my games. So your character can perform disarms or any flashy, difficult moves (trips, pins, grabs, disarms, etc.--basically anything that requires a called shot) with a -2 to hit (instead of the standard -4) and no penalty to your initiative roll (normally, it's +1).

Swashbucklers get a +2 reaction adjustment to members of the opposite sex.

You'll also receive a -2 AC bonus if you are not wearing armor and can cross-class as a warrior (meaning you can purchase Warrior nonweapon proficiencies at cost, instead of paying extra).

[Jenara]

Thanks! And like the picture?

2d6=7 = 70gp, not bad.

[JadedDM]

Yes, it's very nice. So is Horizon's, for that matter.

[Jenara]

Had a feeling you might say that!

[JadedDM]

Oh, and I almost forgot.

Your character also gets 60 thief skill points to distribute as you please, save for two things.

1.) You can't put any points into Read Languages until 4th level.
2.) You may not put more than 30 of your starting thief skill points into any one skill.

[Jenara]

How fun, this is my 'job' for the week then! Well at least till weds, might end up doing it while i am away on thursday and friday!

[JadedDM]

Yep, everything's coming together.

Now to wait and see what Nuke comes up with.

[Jenara]

Have you "Advertised" on the main site for players? I don't really frequent the site anymore, too busy playing what they are all caught up talking about....

But Maybe Breila could post something?

[JadedDM]

I sent PMs to SCARY WIZARD and forfthemad; if you remember, they both stopped by the Players Seeking Games forum awhile ago. SCARY WIZARD stopped by a couple of weeks ago, looked around, then vanished again. forfthemad never even received the message.

I also asked some of my old contacts from other games and such, but no bites there.

I could advertise on the 'main' site, but...does anyone even still go there? It's been pretty dead lately, outside of the occasional spambot selling gold for MMORPGs.

Really, I'm not too worried. Four is a good number. We can accept more, should more show up, but we can certainly make do with four, as well.

[Jenara]

I really don't know about the main site, like I said, too busy actually playing rather than discussing the things they do there.

And I am cool with four, more treasure and more glory for me! hahaha!
