You don't have to make a skeleton if you've got a sheet. they were just for people who didn't have the ability to make the sheets themselves.
For the most part it looks fine, save for just a few things.
1. the helm of opposite alignment and amulet of natural armor are not in the DMG1 which is what we're pulling starting magic items from. (to keep it a fair playing ground for those who don't have access to more)
2. even if the helm was, it's not an expendable thing. When ever it was removed you would revert back to your natural alignment and as such you would instantly cause issues with the campaign. (however this isn't much of an issue as the entire ordeal of having a non evil alignment isn't that hard as long as you can come up with a reason as to why you are not your races natural disposition you don't have to be it.)(and you'd still rather have a magical alteration to your alignment you can always take the Roleplay concept of it having been activated by a spell.)
and 3. you in effect have no food, no water, and very little provisions that are often needed in moving about. >> Now should you simply have been living in the city not going about outside of them then that's fine, but if not you may want to stock up on a few things. (though you're welcome to not if you so choose)
That being the case I ran the numbers and the end result is that you instead of having 1,661gp you have 12,861gp left over.
Other than those few things it's fine.



And EN, this is the easiest way of doing it. I really don't want to have to figure out a way to get every single party member into the party when it's a hired job, so in the end this will actually get you into the party faster than if you just wandered around on your own.
and the tone of things is something you may as well get used to now. This isn't likely going to be a very speedy game as it's a pbp. So just have some patience and we'll hopefully get it rolling soon enough.

Not in the DMG? That's very odd, unbelievable, even, seeing as it's in the System Reference Document. Also, the SRD DMG says about the helm that,

"Only a wish or a miracle can restore former alignment, and the affected individual does not make any attempt to return to the former alignment. (In fact, he views the prospect with horror and avoids it in any way possible.) If a character of a class with an alignment requirement is affected, an atonement spell is needed as well if the curse is to be obliterated. When a helm of opposite alignment has functioned once, it loses its magical properties."

Think you could double-check? It should be near the end of the magic items section, under Intelligent and Cursed Items, with the cursed items being between the intelligent items and the artifacts. The amulet of natural armor should be a minor wondrous item...


Anyway, if you double-check, and STILL can't find it, then...I suppose I'll remove them. As for provisions, I reasoned that a kenku would have little trouble eating carrion, but I suppose it would make sense to give a RELIABLE source of food...

EDIT: The Helm is on DMG page 275, and the Amulet is at the very end of page 246.

EDIT 2: The added weight of rations and a bedroll would leave Kara fairly encumbered. To avoid this, I traded her backpack and rope of climbing for a bag of holding.

Sorry about that, I don't know how I missed them. >< But fair enough, for some reason I had it in my head it was a temporary effect. Alright, fair game on your part.
And I'll probably say that sense they're evolution from their origins they would most likely be able to eat Carrion but still need some at least minor adaptations to their diets.
But it looks like your fine other than maybe wanting to put some waterskin, and basic gear in it. (and you don't really have to if you don't wish. but it may prove problematic.) That and at the moment you're naked save for the armor. >>

Would you accept revisions from the complete book of elves 2nd ed phb? Or is this strictly 3rd ed? I recently came into possession of the book and I was just wondering.

Edit would you be willing to accept a Avariel into the rp instead of a regular elf?

No, we're strictly pulling from 3-3.5. Things don't mesh well with 2ed.

And no, to be honest I'm not wanting a bunch of mixed races. The kenku was fine with the kinku because it's lack in alterations from the core classes. Avariel would cause some complications on my part on a few things.

Damn it all Shin! This is why I don't like accepting none standard races! Then I look like a shitter for not letting everyone else play them! >:O

There are usually two reactions to the kenku. One, folks don't know what they are at all, and then it's down to disposition of the towns folk, or two, they are met with suspicion, prejudices, and some even violence because people DO know what they are. I'm'a say it's best if you just wait till they get back to Suzail and join up the easy way like that as well.

I lost track of the handbooks and the editions, but is the edition you're using before or after the spellplague?

To be honest I'm simply using the general setting of faerun, and not breaking into specifics because I myself never got that far into the forgotten realms universe, and this is one of the easier settings for people to get a handle on, so if I had to say yes or no, I'd say neither, I'm simply using the man as a easily used locational point.

Well, you should research the Spellplague, because prefaerun and post faerun are two totally different enviroments. It was a realm changing event that involved the laws of magic and everything else. Also, what about prestige classes? Can a character start out in a prestige class or does he need to work up to it in this rp?

XD Haha. I have to really laugh at how black and white things seem to Orion...especially since in a different campaign we just discovered a lawful evil cleric who was suuuper evil but had everyone fooled (like, important priests and the chaplain and peeps who hired us to clean out these caves) for like five years that's he's this really nice, jovial, good dude. I think if Orion had been there, his head would have exploded from the shock.
(On the flip side, it's a darn good thing for everyone I had an apathetic drow who trusted her instincts that something evil was going on than the stream of incredibly believable lies flowing from the cleric's mouth. And also that she just didn't like him in the first place, though that was when he was pretending to be a really nice guy. Heh.)

If you're only feeling me I'm not THAT squishy. I'm pretty small and stuff so there isn't that much to squish.
