Bleh.

Sick.

Unhappy. Nose hates me.

Have one Valdemar character sheet! Yay! A couple of other concepts floated at me, although no other character sheets yet. Think I will stop taking characters at 7. That's the max that I think could really be handled without the game moving at a glacial pace.

Still have cards to do, and a thank you letter to write. No concentration. Need more drugs.

EDIT: Have the character sheets for a Sun-Priest, a Herald, and a Tale'edras Mage, with solid concepts but no sheets for a Kyree and a Valdemaran Guard character. Those characters get priority, but still have two 'slots' open.

I /like/ the character, a lot. You may want to reconsider a few of the stats, though. Despite growing up sheltered as she did, the Tale'edras are a hearty people who are likely to get eaten by critters or killed by nasty mages. Especially if she's been training with the scouts, her Strength and Constitution are going to be a /real/ hindrance.

Yay! :D

Ahhhhhhh. [winces, nods] I wasn't quite sure how the stats translated -- like, in IN, I know pretty much what it means mechanically and ICly to have Str 3, but not what it means in BR to have Str -2. [laughs] Was hoping that the Canny Defense Feat would help make up for 'em, too, but I can change stuff. [grins]

Hm. As a mage and with good Int, is it okay if I take Wis -1, or should I avoid that? (I'm thinking Wis -1, Con -1, Str -1, and drop a point off Cha. Unless those -1s are still crippling, which . . . would kind of suck, because good Dex/Cha are IC and I think she kind of needs her Int for the skills, but. [coughs] I can drop Dex/Cha to +2 each if I have to. [grins])

Keep in mind that target numbers in BR are typically not as punishing as they are in regular D&D. You don't have to weight yourself so heavily in one direction or another.

Also, consider that 0 is 'average'. That's about the same strength and healthiness of you or I or Joe on the street. So if you're below average in those stats, you may want to add something in your history about that. Was she ill as a child? Just being sheltered doesn't really cut it, because even sheltered Tale'edras still live a fairly active life compared to your average modern American, not least of which involves climbing those bleeding trees every day.

You can have what stats you wish, but they /will/ come into play, and you guys are going into a pretty rough landscape. So speaketh the GM.

Ah! Okay. In that case . . . [edits the LJpost] (Honestly, I wasn't thinking so much about "heavily weighted" as "I want the Int so I have the skills to back up her cross-training, and it seems weird for that to be her best stat." [laughs] But knowing that 0 is average helps lots in figuring out what works for the concept. [grins])

Re questions: thanks! :D [makes notes!]

[pyrephox.livejournal.com]

Okay, I looked at the revision, and that looks perfectly good by me. :)

[sariel-di.livejournal.com]

Yaaaay! :D

[sariel-di.livejournal.com]

Oh! Three quick questions:

- Er, is Snowfox an Adept period, or a Master who can eventually become an Adept ingame? [laughs] I'm not sure if Magegifted x2 kicks me all the way up or not.

- Do I need to stat the bondbird, or will you be handling that?

- Have you decided what format it'll be yet, or are you going to wait till players are settled? (I'm still fine with PBP (yay GJ/LJ) or PBeM (yay gmail), but just curious. [grins])

[pyrephox.livejournal.com]

- She has Adept potential, which considering she was raised in a Vale, has likely been fully trained. So yes, she's an Adept now.

- I'll be handling bondbird, companion, and familiar stats. :)

- Still up in the air. Once I know exactly who will be playing, I'll probably put it to a formal question.
