d20 D&D RP (Closed)

[Captain Awesome]

Due to a surplus of requests to join my Star Wars RP, and its surprising success and lack of suckyness, I will be taking advantage of some newfound free time to host a second RP. That's right, this one's D&D. We'll be using 4th Edition Rules for this one. I have first contacted those who asked to play in the Star Wars thread, but even if they all agree, I'll still need two players. So after that, it's first come, first served.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

Oh hellz yes good sir. I'm game as one of the extra two.

[Jaqen H'ghar]

I'll take a wizard, not sure on the race yet though.

 

[Aussie Legend]

I think I'll take a Half-Elf Swordmage, but not sure.

 

[Lavi]

What campaign map do you have in mind for this?

 

[Captain Awesome]

Either Independent or Forgotten Realms, depending on the input.

Just to give you a heads-up, you are not required to post your character here. There are stats that make them suited or poor choices for certian roles. We will talk via MSN.

 

[Ser Gregor]

I'm up, 4e is coolio. I'll likely be playing a Tiefling Warlock.

 

[Lavi]

Leaning towards a half-elf druid.

 

[Ser Gregor]

When did they release 4e Druid?

 

[Lavi]

When did they release 4e Druid?

It was listed on Post #3, so I just assumed that druids were available.

[Captain Awesome]

I include classes from the Player's Handbook II, and various other supplements.

 

[Ser Gregor]

When did they release 4e Druid?

.

Also, we doing a standard point-buy or what?

Bad idea. They aren't formatted for 4e and they won't play correctly.

EDIT: I thought the new Player's Handbook came out later this month...

EDIT2: Why aren't any Striker roles available? That doesn't make sense.

 

[Captain Awesome]

For those of you who know enough about D&D to buy their own points, yes. Otherwise, I will do them for you.

Alright, this is our current roster:

Galyaka
Ryan
Blueberry
Lavi
Marlow

Anti-Hero, if there are is a surplus amount of players (and I predict there will), you will need to pick between either the Star Wars or the D&D RP. Can I know now which one you'd be picking in this unfortunate event? Maybe I can work something out with Blueberry.

Strikers were available, but I removed them from the recommended classes because that role is filled by Galyaka with his half-orc ranger.

A 5-player party should have:

2 Defenders
1 Controller
1 Striker
1 Leader

But of course, there are always multiclass feats and so forth that let you dabble in other classes.

Ah, gotcha, gotcha.

 

[Captain Awesome]

Sheo, the reason I asked you about this is because we could work something out with Blueberry to put her in the RP that you don't choose. Of course, if she still says that she wants D&D, you'll tragically be stuck in the SW RP.

Waiting to work out the Sheo/Blueberry/Marlow deal before I finalize any of the roles. The only one I have for sure is Galyaka (I discussed this with him via MSN prior to the starting of the thread). I'll get his sheet up ASAP.

 

[Regret]

I'm in 4sho. I'll decide on race/class in a bit.
