I don't mind playing anything We can work something out then, You wanna go mostly ranged and partial melee? I can focus full melee

Can I get a roll-call of what each person is running at this point?

I think we have two rangers and a wizardy type.

That probably leaves me in the rogue or cleric area - I'll take the rogue unless someone else is dying for it. I just want to be sure before I put a lot of time into this little guy.

I am a fighter,
we have two rangers
Chessic I believe is playing a healer of some kind.

Are there any etiquette rules or anything I should know before we play on i believe wednesday?

Take a look at some other games, it's the best way to pick up the basic format. Essentially, write a few paragraphs detailing what you do.

* Don't put words in another character's mouth without discussing it.
* Don't add details or actions to another character without discussing it first.
* At the bottom of your post you may add an out of character comment like so: ((OOC: I walk away from the conflict because I am a grown man.))

All right, Schnozzle and I have put our heads together.

It was painful. The guy needs to watch where he's going.

Shortly thereafter, however, I submitted an idea for a setting specific healing variant loosely based on the Ranger class. (In that they use a bow, and cast spells from a stripped down variant of the ranger spell-list)

The main feature of this class is the new Herblore class skill that will allow it to make Herbal kits for various healing needs.

I will be posting this class later for the enjoyment/hatred of you all. Please let us know if anyone objects to such a thing.


Edit: Class can be found here: Slate Survivalist

I guess I am going to go with a spell caster of some sort. Probably a sorcerer, but 3.5 is a bit different from the last sorcerer I made, so we will see. Now I need to read and check out the point system. Sirion will be in business soon.

Xana the Fallen is in your mailbox! Two possible templates - drow conjurer or elf sorcerer - both are more on the illusion, deception, charm path.

Nomad, thought you were going for a rogue. Cool to have two arcanists if that's what you want, just so long as we aren't covering the same ground.

I have been going back and forth - our game manager suggested the party could use either. It does seem that a rogue might be best . . . oh, the options.

Oh heck, I went with a gnome rogue. Curious little guy. Working on it - might not quite finish tonight.

Hi, I was recently invited, as in just today, to be added to this band of sole survivers.

I see we have the following:

healer

2 rangers

fighter - I am curious as what type: 2 weapon, sword and shield, single hand, 2 handed weapon . .

sorcerer

and I saw a gnome rogue

I was thinking a fighter wizard aiming for eldrich knight with the free hand weapon style in mind.

Are we using archetypes from the ACP?

there is the freehand fighter archetype from the d20 pf srd

as a short intro, I am known as Scott DeWar on EnWorld where i am somewhat known by a few folk.

I am playing the fighter, and I am dual wielding scimitars. I am unsure about the other questions though, he has posted our character sheets if you wanted to glance through them quickly.

As a general rule, if is compatible with 3.5 and not broken, we're using it.

sweeeeeeeet!

Appearance:

Backstory:
born in a community, that was a network of communities, he was chosen for his skills and willingness to learn. His desire to defend his neighbor was seen as exemplary and notable. He and several of his fellows of similar age would band together and defend when and where they could, until they, the whole band were ambushed by bandit.

He and his band defeated the bandits at great cost - he was the lone survivor. turning over the weapons to the network of villages with the instruction of training more defenders, he left in self imposed exile and shame. Now he has found others that do not know what he had been through, and so his journey begins.

**Note on Sword: Broy's heart
'Broy' was the name of a defender against marauding bandits that harassed a village early in the start of the taint on the land, the village being near some hills he used that to his advantage. After Broy and the town's defenders finally defeated the bandits well enough to send them away licking their woulds, the town, whose name is now lost in the memory of the present generation, was renamed after their hero, Broy, now Broyhill. The band of defenders was named for him as well, Broy's wolves.

His sword, shield and armor were preserved and passed on to the next worthy defender, Broy's heart is the collective name for the whole set. After Geoff's wolf pack defeated and was defeated by the bandits, Geoff was honored aas the sole survivor, though he tried to turn away the honor. The tows Clergy insisted, even knowing he was preparing to instill himself in exile. It was their way of planting a seed of healing for the loss of his boy hood friends. He promised them that he would return to defend them if it was the will of the gods.

It is worth noting that there is still another piece to the set that remains missing, A Kukry. It was lost 2 possessor's back during a vicious battle that was almost lost. She lost it when a steel chain was used to rip it from her grasp to disarm her. The whereabouts of this weapon, "Broy's curse" is to this day unknown . . . .
