I assume the lack of other character sheets is due to Christmas, just wanted to let everyone know I do plan on running this as soon as everyone has characters in.

I tried signing up in the original thread, (quite a while ago), and the answer wasn't so definite. So I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind one more character?

I have some questions and some helpful suggestions. I guess I'll start with the questions. First, do you have room for one more? I've been looking for a group to play with for ages, and am interested in trying out a sorceror/rogue combo, something I've never done before.

Questions two, do casters get sneak attack damage on spells against helpless/flat-footed enemies? I've heard of some DM's allowing that, but I don't know if it is part of normal D&D rules or if that was just a house rule at that one place.

Third, how are you planning on running the game? Are you using Play-by-post or other means? If you haven't used it before, I would suggest you have a look at Maptool, which is a freeware program availible at this place here.

Last, a suggestion. Following the thread makes it a little unclear who is doing what as we prepare, and there are lots of iffy answers to things, so can you get up a game info post and just update it as we go so we know for sure who is playing, what classes they are playing, if they've gotten their characters in already etc? If we use maptool you can use this post to get up information about when we'll be having play sessions.

EDIT: I don't check into this subforum often, and actually did just recently specifically to find a D&D group, so if you want me in the group and have answers to these questions, you should probably PM or I'll never find your post. Thanks.

ANOTHER EDIT: If you do want me to join, you should probably tell me what format you want my character sheet in. I can scan in a written character sheet, fill in a fillable sheet, make a text file with all the basic necessary info, or I can whip up a Character Tool file.

Since people aren't showing up, you guys are welcome here. Anyone who is playing, please come back and post to reconfirm, and I'll do what Megaman FTW suggested, and update the main post.

Well, I'll try and get a character rolled up soon, but I don't know how long it will take. I will need to find the eBooks I got for 3.5 (legal because I owned the actual manuals when I downloaded them), but now the real ones have been worn from use and thrown away and I don't know if I still have the 3.5 eBooks.

EDIT: I'd like to suggest a reason for the group to be together and piss of warlord, get on boat, etc.

Alaric Conri, the character that I will be playing, was a rogue through most of his life that stole by necessity to survive. In his late youth, he discovered that he had a natural gift for magic, and decided to explore the possibilities of his powers, hoping they would bring him a new way of life. He began travelling on something much like a journey of self discoverey, on his way meeting a captain who had use for his magical skills onboard his ship. He ventured with this captain along the coast line over the years, helping to defend his vessel from pirates and learning to sail. Eventually the captain died from illness and he continued his wandering into a valley ruled by a powerful warlord. Alaric lived a normal life here for a time until he was sought out for his extraordinary skills, and went to work for the warlord as a personal assistant. This worked out well for Alaric until he found a creative use of his high charisma score involving the warlord's daughter, and he was sentenced to death. Being the clever rogue that he was, however, Alaric escaped and found a group of the warlord's enemy's, hoping to find safety in numbers. Together they plotted to steal the warlord's favorite boat, and hauled their scurvey asses out to sea.

Believable yet fantastic, and leaves things open enough that each player can still think of their own personal way to piss off Sir Henry Motherf**ker. Yays? Nays?

Still willing and waiting with my Wizzie. :3

One last note, I'd like to warn my teammates that I am personally somewhat inexperienced with playing a caster. My only previous experience with casters has been when I was playing a fighter, monk, or barbarian, and in one case a favored soul and watching over a caster's shoulder while they played. While this may be a bit of a detriment to the team in battle, I think it will help me role play well because my own inexperience with casters will thus be reflected in the actions of my character, who has a very limited knowledge of his own powers himself. He isn't some studious mage locked up in his tower all day, he is a rogue that discovered he had magical powers and went, "Mage-chucks yo."

I'm still in.

I really need to work on my Ranger, though.

Still here.

I'm in. Argent, would it be all right if I played a Warlock? It's not a Core class, but I'm hoping it isn't too much.

If it's a problem then I've got some ideas for a Paladin I've been wanting to try out.
