More than likely xD You might end up hating me with some of the things I'll be able to transform into (if we get to level 13). |

oh that's fine. you see druids can only transform into creatures they're familiar with, so all I have to do is limit your exposure to creatures I don't care if you wild-shape into or limit your exposure to the other kind to fast violent combat to prevent proper examination. |

it's possible, but even a max knowledge nature check won't let you be 'instantly familiar' with the creature. that's an ADP call right there.

Action Decal points, or as I like to call them 'god points' Everyone will start with one freebe and after that you have to earn them through exceptional roleplay or situation development/solutions. Basically they're my alternative for giving out exp for things outside of standard roleplay exp and combat exp. ADP can be used for almost anything depending upon how many you have. One will get you things like a auto success in most rolls or similar low level things. You can turn in 2 to add a +1 permanently to any stat or +2 to any skill. Three will get you an extra feat. with 6 adp you can buy an instant level gain. (seeing as I don't give ADP out often at all 6 is a huge number) You can also turn them in to make deals with the DM, like making sure that the cave collapsing around you doesn't hit you, or similar such things. They're my little way of rewarding the players when they're exceptionally good. |

Backstory: Born unto a pair of Rangers, Varren's birth was nothing foretold as extraordinary. Raised on his parent's backs Varren was always surrounded by the magics of nature and the sounds of the forest. At the age of six his parents began training Varren to use weapons and survive in the forest. Unfortunately, he didn't have his parents knack for ranged weaponry but, what he did possess was a magical aptitude for controlling nature. While unintentional at first, he grew to love his powers. With no one to guide him in the way of being a druid it was all up to Varren's experimentation. Slowly, his spell repertoire began to expand first came a simple water spell, next light. Soon he could follow his parents on his own power and help them watch over their small forest. Eventually at the ripe age of seventeen it was decided that Varren needed world experience. So he was cast out from the forest accompanied only by a dog he had befriended. The dog's name was simply Blanc, it was uncharacteristically small and maybe weaker than other dogs but, it had a strange way about it. Despite the options he had when making friends with the animals Varren felt a connection with Blanc, maybe simply because of the differences they shared between their kin. |

Both? I'm assuming the bad is that my companion won't be available at the start and I'll have to get one after starting somehow. Edited by Vanity&Ecstasy, May 26, 2012, 3:27 am.

the good news is congratulations your back story is fine. The bad news is that due to your backstory your character had no'one to teach him the arts or culture of the Druids, as a result he would no have the Druidaic language which is only known by druids and only taught to those of their order. |

Oh well. There is a 11 year gap between when he left and now so the likelihood of running into another druid isn't impossible. |

Granted. AND for the sake of simplicity I will say that sense you are well into your 20's I'll say you spent that time finding, and being accepted into, and then learning the ways of the druidaic order. thus explaining why you are so 'old' and still a level one. This also would let you be up to date with all of you Druiding needs. anyways, add the back story to the post with your character link so I can keep it all together and you're in the clear.

So, aside from basic animals like dogs, cats, bears, etc. Could I know of a special creature from the beginning? |

Alright twisted, I looked over your character and and the build checks out, as does the description and such. The only issue is the backstory. It's not that there's anything wrong with it exactly. It's just that your character has done a good bit for only being level one. |

Yeah... I wasn't sure how to go about doing that... I didn't know how to go about making a history for someone his age, but at the same time keep him weak. So I figured, if I implied that he hadn't done anything good against STRONG enemies, it might make it where while he is middle-aged he hasn't the HARDENED experience of someone of a higher level. Like, he has the knowledge of fighting and such, but little execution. Some of it though, now that I think about it, doesn't make sense or agree with what I just said. Like saying that the half-orc and him were feared for their combat ability. What do you suggest I do? Strip him down to 50 year old again, remove the half-orc bit, and make it to where he's just now coming out into the world? |

I understand. but that's the entire set of this compaign being level one is that they're just (within reason) getting moving. and well I hate to say it but having him being 60 years past maturity and still level one makes him come off as impenitent so cutting the age back is one way. and if you want him to have a back history with the half-orc it's fine but one may want to reduce the 'prowess and time' they had spent together to match appropriately. don't have to cut it all the way back to 50 but perhaps something younger than 100 and doctor the exploits accordingly. |

Ok, edited him. He's now 53, left Dwarven life when he was 50, adventured as a bodyguard with the Half-Orc for 3 years, never fought anything tougher than a wolf or the occasional bandit, during the 3rd year they attempted to fight an Ogre to gain his treasure hoard, Half-Orc was killed, Dwarf barely escaped. Added a few items in equipment, since I now have the book. Added Added the weight up with my weapons and armor, and got a total weight of 98.5. Which would make my character at a medium load. The way I understood it is, Dwarves are unaffected by that, so I didn't worry about it. If there are any problems now, please let me know. : ) EDIT: Recalculating my wealth at the moment, something seems wrong, need to recheck everything. Ok: Scale Mail: 50gp Waraxe, Dwarven: 30gp Shield, Heavy Wooden: 7gp Javelin x3: 3gp (1gp per javelin) Backpack: 2gp Flint and Steel: 1gp Rope, Silk 50ft: 10gp Grappling Hook: 1gp Waterskin: 1gp Crowbar: 2gp Total: 107gp Soap, 1lb: 5sp Pole, 10ft: 2sp Fishhook: 1sp Bedroll: 1sp Rations, Trail x7: 35sp Total: 44sp Whetstone: 2cp Flask, Empty: 3cp Chalk, 1 piece: 1cp Total: 6cp Bill: 107gp 44sp 6cp. Pay 107gp, return 0gp. Remaining: 43gp Pay 5gp for 44sp, return 6sp. Remaining: 38gp, 6sp. Pay 1sp for 6cp, return 4cp. Remaining: 38gp, 5sp, 4cp. Total Remaining: 38gp, 5sp, 4cp. My Character Sheet says: 38 Gold, 1 Silver, 4 Copper. Which seems wrong by my math... What is right? That right? Took me forever to figure out what the hell I was doing, I am horrible at math, but something seemed off at first. |

Jester how are you going to play it if I take Improved Natural Attack? Have it only apply to one form or apply it to a single proficient natural attack like the Feat says it does. |

the gold's fine Twisted. Don't worry about it. ![]() and alrighty. I'm'a go talk to buttler about having the old IC thread destroyed......it's irritating. I'm going to remake the IC thread so it makes no sense to have another one floating around in the archives but no, no can delete. -_- and Van, I run from book's standard that has it be a single natural attack. |
