Okayokay...I'd also like it if some more utilitarian spells, like a minor levitation, an open/closing spell...things that would let a sphinx get by in a world that assumes you have hands.

okay :) I will think up both a 'hands free' spell (like maybe telekinesis) and how to make a lesser version of levitate that simply wont make levitate moot XD

Added an 'enemies' section with a small number of the enemies we will encounter (including one highlevel enemy which will be about mid game)

I also included how 'saves' work on the first page

Character can learn 1 spell for every 5 points in intelligence

Character can learn 1 ability for every 5 points in constitution


This is of course not counting any free spells granted by race

Also any spells or abilities you think of feel free to tell me ^^


Oh and also I added telekinesis to the 'feats' section, it may change some before the rp starts but thats essentially what it will do

Erk...in that case, the Sphinx race is a lot less viable...

...but I suppose I'll make a char once those utility spells are up...

Well, if you go for a sphinx, we could probably make a record for the party with the least ability to interact normally with the world.
Fairy - Tiny
Dragonette - Small
Sphinx - No hands

Awesome.

Telekinisis has been moved to a spell (level two) because I was thinking how...well dumb I was putting it in feats (was probably tired or something)

Added a total of four spells (jinx & alter hinge (both alterations of doomshifters idea) (level one) telekinisis (level two) forcecage (alteration of a doomshifter idea) (level four)) and one new ability Bolas (another alteration of a Doomshifter idea)
And yes I'm aware how overpowered Jinx can be I may drop how long it lasts XD

Er...do you think you could also add some sort of level 1, 5 mana spell that a sphinx could use to do stuff like, y'know, read a book or such? Like...maybe a Lesser Telekinesis spell or such?

Sure ^^ that ones easy (but it will probably move the actual tk up to like slot three (no use in having the lesser only one point from the greater)
It will only work on small objects and stuff though.

still have no clue how to make a lesser levitation XD

On another note tomorrow (or around that time) I will run throuhg a final look and do some more tweaking before we hit the 'rp ready' stage. ^^

Name: Marash Caldien
Age: 99
Age of Appearance: 28
Race: Half-Sphinx (identical to normal sphinx)

Appearance: As a half-sphinx, Marash has the lower body and "forearms" of a lion, the upper body and head of a human, a bird's wings, and a serpent for a tail. Her fur and is a tawny gold, her feathers white, and her scales a pale green. The shoulder-length hair on her head is a chestnut brown, and is magically braided. She wears nothing, but generally stands with a posture befitting nobility. While she is half-human, her sphinx heritage is much more strongly pronounced. She is capable of standing and walking upright, but still lacks hands, and armor designed for humanoids will not fit her, so she usually walks on all fours. She is slightly smaller than a full-blooded sphinx, but still taller than a human, standing nearly seven feet tall when upright.

Bio: Marash is the only daughter of the sphinx Natal Caldien and an unknown human who has long since died. Sphinx culture all-but forbids intraspecial breeding, let alone mating with a creature as unintelligent and short-lived as a human. But Natal loved this man not for his intellect, but for his kindness, which is relatively lacking among her own judgmental people. As a result of this union, Natal became an outcast, as did her daughter. Upon reaching adulthood, Marash departed to find her own home, which she found in an abandoned library. She spent many following decades browsing the knowledge within, and preying upon others who came seeking such knowledge. As of now she has read every book in the library. Storing them in the bag of holding she took from a human traveler, she set off in search of new knowledge.

Class: Mage

Base stats:
Strength - 4+1
Dexterity - 4-2
Constitution - 5
Intelligence -6+3
Wisdom - 5+2
Charisma - 6

Feats: Maximize Spell, Deadly Spells, Magical Conduit, Tough Hide (R), Monstrous Shape (R), Claws (R), Flight (R), Efficient Magic (R), Sense Lie (R)

Spells: Lesser Telekinesis

Abilities: Spot

Equipment: Bag of Holding, small fatigue potion (2)

A fairy, a half-sphinx and a dragon queen walk into an adventure . . .

Are we going to wait for anyone else to join, maybe? Or run it as-is?

Okay I added the Lizardfolk race
And Doom and my profile has been placed in the accepted page (just waiting on Shin to edit in his stat changes)
If any of you want to make changes to your characters now is the time

Also I got sidetracked because I'm currently working on locations instead of the opening post >_>

Opening posts up

You get to choose how your character learns of the request and how they get to the city. (granted both of your characters can fly so the 'get there how' is answered unless you choose some other method)

I'm still trying to rationalize why Marash would leave for unknown places when she's still incapable of defending herself...

Forced to, maybe? A thirst for knowledge that can only be gained through the experience of professional adventuring?

By what? Oh, and what kind of literacy level are you aiming for here?

Idk maybe she finds a new place for knowledge thats slated to be turned into an inn, or a park.
Or maybe she goes to the kings tower to find knowledge, after all a royal tower has to have some old knowledge.

Really late edit (because sleep isnt happening >_<)
Literacy level is malliable. As long as your post is understandable, longer than...say a paragraph, and isnt absolutely covered in spelling errors (like every other word (I mean I understand if you miss afew words here or there))
Beyond that I'm happy with anything

Alright...

I find my spelling and grammar to be nigh-impeccable, but my length...generally is limited to one, maybe two paragraphs.

EDIT: Y'know, I was thinking...perhaps Marash could be introduced as some manner of wilderness encounter?
