Ah, I'm so green I haven't even gotten to the house rules yet :)

Just give me your spell list. If it's "too big", I'll trim it.

Everyone, please take a look at this page. I've got much of the game-relevant stuff in spreadsheet format. Let me know if you see inaccuracies or blanks.

Everything looks good here.

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Nagrath is actually a mage/thief. Tunnelrat is the name of the thief kit, and the "mage" is actually illusionist. I'd suggest another column in the spreadsheet called Class, with just the base class (cleric, fighter/mage, ranger, etc.). The current Class column should be renamed Kit, with everyone save Ashe and GK having a listing under there.

Nagrath's current memorized spells are Armor and an-illusion-to-be-named-later (I'm afb right now, but will post again when I get back from work), probably either Audible Glamour or Phantasmal Force. Barshevy, can I assume that the spell list I sent to you with the rest of my character sheet was accepted?

The rest of the table's info looks good for my character.

Finally, speaking of times, it might be helpful if everyone posted what time zone they're in. Since CK draws scribes from all over the world, it would help if we could know if we're relatively close to each other's zones, or if we're on the other side of the world. I'm in the US Eastern.

Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well.

US Central. Usually away from the boards right after work until a little after dinner (4:00-7:00 CST) and then when I (finally) go to sleep...

You can eliminate the armor that I thought I'd be using. And for armor class, I have a base AC of 6, but with a sword in my hand it drops to AC 3. I get a +2 from Single Weapon Style Specialization and a +1 from the bladesong. Also, I'll go ahead and dig out my spell sheet for you while I'm thinking about it.

Whoops, posted before I realized that the spreadsheet has more than one page.

Nagrath's THAC0 with darts is I believe actually 17: +2 for Dex, and +1 for either race or kit, I forget (will check tonight). He also gets a +2 to hit with the short sword if he's in a tunnel two feet wide or smaller, but that's pretty situational.

Do you think we should have one tab for our spell books, and a separate one for spells currently memorized?

Nagrath's AC is 6 with no armor, 4 in leather, and lower when under an Armor spell (again, will check tonight). Unless specifically stated, Nagrath does not wear armor (interferes with casting).

I have a couple of specifics on equipment, but that requires books (ie: the hand lamp from CBT is a bit particular), so that'll be later too. I also forgot to include my left-over money, so I'll track that down as well.

I totally forgot something. Did I include my saving throws on the sheet that I sent you, Barshevy? If not, they are Par./Poison 14, R,S,W 11, Pet/Poly 13, BW 15, Spells 12.

Also, the mention of money reminds me that bladesingers are required to return all unspent funds to the bladesong instructors. May I have perhaps sold my studded leather previously for a few gold so I can afford a room, or would you prefer me to have Valthorin camp out? Either way is fine with me. It was, after all, my mistake for forgetting about that.

Thanks for all the responses, guys. I can't respond in kind, point by point (too many.) Please take a look at the campaign page to see if I've incorporated the new info and suggestions. Let me know what I've missed.

Everything looks good from what I can tell. Great job on the spreadsheet!

I'm having such a good time with Google Spreadsheets (never thought I'd say that). Looks like it's a cinch adding images to the 'combat map'. I'm thinking of using Maptools to create tokens representing your PCs. If you have the time, show me a web-page that has a picture you would like to use as your character portrait.

That would be awesome, but the only problem I have with that is that there are very few gold elf pictures that I've ever seen. Does anyone know where to find any at, by chance?

I'm in Central Standard US time as well. I noticed I forgot to send you a list of my character gear. I'll type it and send it here shortly. It isn't very a very long list, just my clothes, pack, shield, sword, a couple misc. items and a few gold left over.

The spreadsheet thing does look good, but got the same as above, where Wild Mage is my class and my kit is Wizard of Impultir.

The rest of the info should be in the .txt file as its straight from the Core Rules program with some extra notes from me.

btw, i'm compiling a spreadsheet of the wild mage tables from Tome of Magic. Didn't see the part of the Wild Mage that they have a variable spell level with a 1/20 chance of random outcome.

I'm eastern but I stay up all night and sleep till 11 or 1pm. :)

And I prayed for two cure lights and the reed staff from Demihuman Deities in Sheela's entry.

Just in case it's needed, I'm a Fighter/Mage with the bladesinger kit from The Complete Book of Elves.

Tyr, so Wild Mage is a class by itself?

Aye in 2e it's just another class by itself, like the illusionist or chronomancer, etc.

Just to note with my AC, with missle weapons the body shield with my training grants me a +4 and the usual +3 vs. melee. So with a missle weapon AC with armor and shield would be 0.

(Fair warning: I'm an archivist, which means I like my data properly ordered)

1) Nagrath's deity is NOT Urdlen. It's the entire gnomish pantheon. He's more CN (G), so most of his prayers go to Garl and the others. Since he works in the Underdark, though, he placates Urdlen. So that entry should be "Gnomish Pantheon"
2) Under XP, for the two multiclassed characters, the levels should actually be 1/1, and XP should be 0/0, since we divide XP in half. You should probably also note there whether or not each character gets the bonus 10% for high primary score. I know Nagrath does, and probably most of the rest of the group do as well.
3) Combat tab, missile weapons needs ROF entry. I know Dart is 3/1, and if anyone's got a bow, that's 2/1. Not sure on the sling.
4) We should probably include interesting class abilities under the Abilities tab, like the benefits of bladesong, or tunnelrat abilities, or kit changes to base (looking at the wizard), or a quick summary of how the wild mage differs. Oh, and thief skills as well.

Could you give us edit rights for the moment, so we can put this in and save you trouble? I know I have a lot of this info at hand already, and could get it in easily.

I'll have more later tonight.

I just had a thought. Did you want us to have a second character on standby in case something happens to our main?

Good luck Hoondatha. And thanks for all the help with the spreadsheet.

I'm going to roleplay Cyreela's visit to the druid circle tomorrow. This will also give me some time to prepare the module. I hope the rest of you don't mind the delay.

Not at all!! It gives me time to get stuff on standby should we need the second character. I already have the stats should they be needed. I hope they aren't, but you never know...

Nope, I don't mind. Good luck, Hoondatha, in your quest. Um, should we have a character tree? I don't mind making another character just in case, but I just like to focus on one at a time.

Edit: Er, I just remembered I'll be unable to post until late (Central Time) tomorrow anyways. Question though, will side quests be done publicly as well or in secret for future notice?

I like focusing on one at a time, too. All I have are stats and a name (if that's all right). In games of the past, I've found that having a second character has saved me a lot of missed game time. Besides, this is (like I've said) the greatest time ever to play my favorite kit. I just like being prepared for those 'dark times'... like bad saving throws.
