Yeah, I also figure to be quicker to the back of the party myself, and with a high dex the bow be a good weapon for me.
I don't have a 2E DMG - could someone tell me what the level limits are for elves and 1/2 elves in the four basic classes? |

OK, I'll start putting together the spreadsheets for you guys. It will help me keep track of what's going on (I wouldn't know how to run things if I didn't have it) and be the repository for maps and other information for you guys. |

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Homeland: Quivering Forest Deity: Erevan Illesere (venerates Sehanine Moonbow and Corellon Larethian to a lesser extent) Age: 114 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2095560/
Starting Gold: 100 GP (1/2 Fighter Class Max)
Equipment Purchased Leather Armor (5GP) Buckler (1GP) Long Bow (75GP) Long Sword (15GP) Dagger (2GP)
Hmm...leaves me with 2 GP! Guess I'll stop there until I can liberate some more coin from a person who needs it less!
Background (pending approval/changes from Barshevy) - Sevaren comes from a small village of holdover elves in the Quivering Forest who have not emigrated. Old enough to remember the devestation of Old Phlan, he has come looking to find interesting treasures and magic in the ruins now that attempts are being to repopulate it, as well as profit from the 'boom town' nature of New Phlan where nothing is determined yet.
Sevaren is in no way a malevolent force, but neither does he feel it is wrong to take from humans, who have in their turn taken so much from Elves in the past milennium - he isn't usually ruining someone, after all. Ultimately, he is all about looking out for #1, then his personal friends and so on.
He has learned that information is power, and blackmail can be a very convenient tool in keeping interference with his personal goals to a minimum by the local establishment, so he has developed skills to help him uncover any embarrasing foilibles he can use to his advantage. He has also been known to discretely offer his services on a selective basis, if someone is trying to uncover a secret or find out something that he thinks the person in question has a right to know, or even if he just finds it interesting. He usually attempts to keep his ID secret in such scenarios, especially to the non-elven.
Sevaren rarely passes up the chance to dance - not only for the personal enjoyment derived from it, but because he has overheard many personally profitable details whispered between nearby dance partners who thought no one was listening.

Okay, I have changed my mind about playing the Morninglord. I have opted to go with a dwarven fighter/cleric of Clangeddin Silverbeard. Cleric side is just a normal cleric and not a specialty priest. I utilized the Demihuman Deities book for info on clerics of Clangeddin Silverbeard.
Clerics of Clangeddin receive Religion (Dwarven) and Reading/Writing (Dethek Runes) as bonus nonweapon proficiencies. They can use any weapons, not just bludgeoning. They cannot turn undead until 7th level at which point they turn as four levels lower than their current level (so at level 7, they turn as level 3 clerics). They always strike at +2 to hit and damage against undead. All of Clangeddin's clergy members are male before the ToT.
Here is a direct link to the info on Clangeddin, Barshevy, in case you don't have Demihuman Deities. http://www.nj-pbem.com/data/Gods/dwarvengods/Clangeddin.htm
My character sheet will follow in the next post. Since I put my 18 in strength, here is the link to my roll on invisiblecastle for exceptional strength which came out as 60. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2095757/
I also gave Roram a holy symbol for free as it states in the Demihuman Deities book that usually a holy symbol is not purchased but given to the cleric when he enters into the priesthood. If this is unacceptable, let me know and I will rework things to pay for it.
I started him with 95 gold pieces. Half of 200 for fighter is 100 and half of 180 for cleric is 90. Half of 190 is 95, which is how I figured it should be calculated.
Lastly, I assumed that Dwarven and Common were his freebie native languages and I purchased Goblin as a NWP slot. If Common wasn't free, let me know and I will rework. |

Characters are looking good!
Barshevy, how do you handle henchmen as a DM? It's looking like we're pretty light in the healing dept...I don't think one or two CLWs is going to last long when we're all either single of multi-class fighters! Will it be possible to seek out henchmen once we get a level or so underneath of us?
Also, I'm curious too how to handle the languages. I spent a point on common, whereas Toric didn't, but he then spent a point on reading/writing, where I assumed that having a language meant you could both speak and read/write it.
Let me know if I need to rejigger my proficiencies. |

Yes, one or two cure lights will be all I can handle until 2nd level, at which point the potential goes up to 3!
That said, of course there is no way Roram will be able to keep this large a party completely healthy, although he does have Healing which makes hit point recovery a bit better with lots of rest. Even if I had gone full cleric with an 18 wisdom, we still would only have access to 3 cure lights initially so the difference wasn't that great. I opted for fighter/cleric to help with my own character's survivability and usefulness, not to mention I love dwarves!
As for languages, yes I took common and dwarven as native and paid a slot for goblin. I then paid an additional slot for reading/writing common (reading/writing dethek runes was a bonus). If I need to pay for common, please let me know. If I don't need to pay for reading/writing for languages I speak, let me know. I will retool the NWPs as needed.
I am greatly looking forward to this game! |

I hope Candlekeep continues to be the friendly forum of fellow Realms-lovers that it has always been, as we all go through this together. If you don’t want to move to the “new” Realms, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with either you or the “old” Realms. Goodness knows Candlekeep, and the hearts of its scribes, are both big enough to accommodate both. If we want them to be. (Strikes dramatic pose, raises sword to gleam in the sunset, and hopes breeches won’t fall down.) Enough for now. The Realms lives! I have spoken! Ale and light wines half price, served by a smiling Storm Silverhand fetchingly clad in thigh-high boots and naught else! Ahem . . So saith Ed. <snip> love to all, THO

You'll be given either NPC companions or magic items to round out the party.
I'll get back to you on the languages and profiencies a little later. Rather busy right now. |

Brief Background Sildarin hales from the city of Everlund. He has been training from a young age in the traditions of the bladesinger. As he finished his training he was informed that he must see more of the world by his guild. This way he would better know how to defend elven kind and promote elvendom on Toril. Plus he would get the chance to test his training against many evils and challenges along the way. This is how he has ended up in New Phlan, traveling and defending those that he can along the way. Sildarin is a taciturn elf, very rarely does he show emotion outside of dancing in the bladesong. He is interested in anything magical as all spell casters are, and is interested in seeing the old ruins to see what lost magic can be found. He is also eagerly looking for any elves, this way he can learn more of the world from their experiences.

If there are to be any changes let me know. I went with 8 spells, the same as our F/M/T. If this is wrong let me know and I will change them.
Looking forward to playing with you all! :-D |

Also does everybody speak ‘common’ or do we spend a slot? Cardoc: You might want to read the Meilikki write up in Faith & Avatars. Your character gains some extra benefits for being a “specialty priest”.
A full write up will follow shortly. (In Bakra time that means later today)
