I'll put it to you. If she has you want to run through the game anyways? I can adjust it to work for a 2 person campaign (2 counting the DMC.)

That's why I'm kind of dead set on running him. Even if it's not on this campaign. >< I can sit down and sort out another objective if you like sense that one is a bit of a high Challenge rating for 2 characters.

This isn't still open is it? I have no idea what is going on...I have never played D&D, but I have always wanted to learn... I am a moderately fast learner, in my opinion, and would only need a little help.

It still isn't open for a few reasons, of which are about to be remedied. I'm about to open it but if you'd like to join in, I can always put off opening the RP just yet till we get you character made. (which I can help you with.)

If you do open it, I'd like to jump in. I haven't been able to play D&D in a while. I know how to go about creating my character, so I should be able to make one very quickly.

PHB classes only right? Yeah, I can do that. ^^

Yep, PHB standard, with basic DMG I magic item access. General rule of no item being worth more than half your starting old (which as this case it is going to be lvl 8 start that's 27,000 gold) and that's about it. I'm planning on starting it pretty soon here. I'm'a post up a IC thread tonight and I'll have the starting intro being the DMC running to pick up Rii's character. We can shift it so that you're character either comes in on their own, or we can run to pick you up as well.

Alright, my character can join in later. Oh, one quick question: there's a variation of Cleric one can take called 'Divine Magician' but I don't remember where it's from. Am I allowed to do this? The way it works: Instead of gaining 2 domains at 1st level, gain only one 1. Benefit: gain 1 abjuration, divination or necromancy wizard spell per spell level.

hmm, well I couldn't find anything about it on wizards, so if you get me the information on it I'll look it over and let you know. But most likelihood is that if it's too complex I'll ask that you not worry do so till I've gotten a handle on it. Sense I tend to not want to incorporate things into my games that I don't understand well enough to effectively manage from the DM's perspective. (Long story short, I've been in games where people let shit go even if they don't understand it. That just doesn't work for me.) But if it's not too complex in the details I'll be fine with it, and if you can't find it and find it later on, (and already set as a cleric) I'll just let you transfer the regular cleric levels to the variant.

From my understanding of it, there's not much else to it other than gaining those spells. Sacrificing one domain so that I can cast a limited number of arcane spells, starting with a 1st level spell. Then whenever I would gain the ability to cast a higher level cleric spell, I can add 1 more arcane spell from the specified schools to my spell list.

However it's kinda moot now, as I've just found it. It's in the Complete Mage, so it's a no go, not being in the PHB 1. Not an issue though, I wasn't dead set on this variant, it was more of an experiment.

EDIT: And it has to be taken at level 1

Fair enough.
Though I know you need to implement variants at first level, there is a phrase I love. It's good to be god. XD
After all, it says right on the books, that they are simply tools and guides. in the end the DM makes the calls. But it's little matter I guess. And by the way, feel free to branch out to prestige classes or multi-classes after the game has started, I just want everyone to start with PHB standard.

This is certainly true. I might take that variant later once I've leveled after all then.

Sure. I'll start studying up on the variant so that by the time you level I'll either have a grasp on it, or have decided it's a horrible loathsome thing that should never be implemented in any game EVER!....most likely the former. >>

AND the IC is up. I'm leaving you a git of wiggle room Rii sense this is your first time with DND and I'm really a bit tired to type out the situation from your perspective at the moment. (In effect typing out EVERY detail that you had come to learn about the town sense you had arrived.)

Could I still join? I know I asked to join when you first put this up but I had no clue what I was doing, and I still don't. (Refering to the character creation and PHB classes.)

Alright Drake. Here's what we have for you so far.
http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=261473
As it stands there are three things I'd recommend you get (just advice, not required.) 1 being a saddle. You got the bags, but no saddle for your mount. 2, being a bit and bridle so you can actually direct the horse. and 3, some feed for it (though it can graze instead if you'd rather not worry about it.)
Also right now I have all your gear in your pack, if you'd like it distributed to your mount let me know what items are going to be on it.

And EN, if you'd like to get things underway with making your character, send me a message and I can walk you through it. This is the actual system that I had loosely based the Twist of fate RP I made a while back on, so there's a lot of details involved to go through.

Yeah I'll go ahead and grab those too, then, since I've got the extra gold. Although I'll just let my mount graze for now. If absolutely necessary, I'll get some feed later.

As for pack/mount item distribution, put my bedroll and 10 of my trail rations in the saddlebags/on my mount. Everything else can stay as-is.

Also, is that gold count right? I thought I had a lot less than that left over... And his hair and eye colors are backwards XD

Nothing complicated or super expensive, so just a regular riding saddle.

I'll go ahead and put him up on the registry.

Alright. well how do you want to be brought in? So far I've got the DMC and Rii's character having worked together in the past and Dre'sha was running to pick him up for a job he's got. Would you like to have once been part of the merry band as well or would you rather wiggle your way in in some other way?
