Ok guys. We're 1.5 weeks away from DS. EVERYONE EXCITED?!?!?!?!?!?! Anyways. Current Party: JP, Stephen, Davis, Gilbert, Kyle, Gabe?? You guys MIGHT want to start planning what you guys want to be. Controllers: Davis - Psion Strikers: Stephen - Monk/Druid JP - Ranger Defenders: Gabe - ?? Leaders: Gilbert - ?? Keep in mind, Kyle will not be here first sesh, and we're tentative on Gabe atm, so 4 players  Remember, you don't need a balanced party (as in needing a defender or a leader), but having a very UNBALANCED party (like 4 controllers) might be a terribad thing to have. Use this topic to discuss what you guys wanna do. Character Creation: Lvl 2 Stats - A) 4d6 Brutal 1, if no 18, convert HIGHEST stat to 18. Rolls must be done in front of someone. B) Array Items - 1 of the following: +1 Magic Weapon, +1 Magic Armor, +1 Amulet of Protection 100 gp. Wishlists - General wishlists only, as in "Next item I want is a new weapon". RPed items such as boots converting into something else, etc, may be acquired, so do your best, and also keep me up to date with what you're planning. |

Heya, I'm flexible. I'm def leaning toward playing either a druid (controller) or a striker (likely rogue, possibly barbarian). I'm waiting to see the campaign book, though. I'm sure there will be something in there that will catch my eye.  |

I'm learning towards a Striker/Controller hybrid/multi-class containing some combination of monk/druid/rogue... and maybe wizard depending on how harshly arcane magic is looked upon.

I have to admit, I am pretty hyped about Dark Sun. It's like all my past Table RP experiences has prepared me as a Role Player for the epic-ness that is about to begin.
And as for the Arcane magic view thing, my character design wouldn't necessarily care how the world views it, his concern would be how the "world" views the use of arcane magic, preserving or not. The "world" as in "all is one, one is all" or how the spirits of Nature would view the use of magic. If the "world" is OK with the use of proper Arcane wielding then I have no qualms splashing wizard for arcane utility spells. But if the "world" see it as a big no-no, then I would have to decline.
So far my RP design concept is something like an Agent of Nature, kind of like an Avenger in concept but with the Primal source instead of Divine.

Well after having read DS Campaign guide, pretty much "primal magic" is what you'd be looking into. Arcane magic is reviled by all, and since it's basic use corrupts and perverses nature, good luck.
Also remember that from reading Arcane magic is thoroughly controlled, and those who have not bought their licenses to use it in certain regions will be persecuted. Not to mention all the other crazy people who would just kill you regardless if you're a preserver or defiler. (Of course you can mask your arcane casting)

Ah. Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I will be doing dark sun. I will probably be playing the defender since no one else has shown interest. I can really play anything just as long as i have enough time to come up with a character background that i think will be fun to rp. Also I need to get the book. >.<

I think I'll take the Striker role. I'm not sure yet exactly what class(es) I'll be taking as I still need to figure out my RP story first.
@phil: I'll be needing IRON Armbands of Power >.>

Items - 1 of the following: +1 Magic Weapon, +1 Magic Armor, +1 Amulet of Protection 100 gp. As in vanilla +1 Magic Weapon, right? I almost mistook it as any +1 "Magic" Weapon. I'm also assuming non-metal? Oh, and for those who might not be aware. Chainmail and Platemail doesn't necessarily need to be metal in Athas. Like with weapons, Chainmail can be hoops of bone imbedded in leather and Platemail is usually made with chitin from insects that are much more abundant on Athas than other settings. |

Just to make sure, as I can't recall seeing it anywhere, we are starting at level 2, correct?

Stats - A) 4d6 Brutal 1, if no 18, convert HIGHEST stat to 18. Rolls must be done in front of someone. B) Array Items - 1 of the following: +1 Magic Weapon, +1 Magic Armor, +1 Amulet of Protection 100 gp. Two questions for clarification: When you say array, do you mean the standard array of: 16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10? The +1 Magic Weapon, does that include +1 Magic implements (like +1 Magic Orb or +1 Magic Ki Focus)? |

Yes, it does. |
