Quote from: Venosha;260139I suggest you write it all down....don't you know we want it all!  

Not sure if this will help but KenHR posted an Herbal link, and I thought maybe our cleric might want to take a look for reference? In case anyone misses the thread.

Edit:  Illustrated guide to Herbs for RPGs

Looks like Drohem was using the Invisible Castle to generate a character, which is cool beans.  Using the full title of the thread is probably a good way to keep the rolls unique, so if you want to include the campaign in your rolls, use:

{Olde School} X2 - Castle Amber

Quote from: StormBringer;260135I am having a hard enough time keeping track of who wants to hire the shorties, and which characters have thief abilities.  Do you think I will be able to remember who has psionics?  

For psionics check (1d100=97)

Storm-
Did you actually role this??  Hahaha.

Well, I was futzing around with psionics, reading my old PHB, and I did a mock psionic power list for Starslinger.  I rolled only 23 for power points, so
nothing scary.  

I randomized the rolls on the disciplines and got
Sensitivity to Psychic Impressions (kinda whimpy)
ESP (as the 2nd level MU spell, which I know), and
Body Equilibrium (which allows water walking, don't sink in quicksand, etc).

The major power was Mass Domination (which is cool).

However with 23 Psionic Strength. he cannot do much...

let me know if the above was a true roll and whether or not you would permit psionics.  I would use them judiciously (based on the points, I would have too)... I never got to play a psionicist in the old days...Then again, I didn't play a lot of Arcane casters either...

I will double check tomorrow, but I think the total would be 64pts for the powers, and 128points for attack and defence.  I will let you know for sure when I have the final calculations, and the attack and defence modes.

The real question becomes, are you sure you want them?  Psionic combat can be deadly, especially if you run out of points for defence.  You can see some of the possible results on pages 76 and 77 of the DMG, if you have that available.

I will get the modes finalized, and see if there are any other modifications to make, then you can look it over and see if you still want to use them.

EDIT:

Ok, looks like you will have 32 attack points, and 32 defense points, for a psionic ability of 64pts.  You have one attack mode, and two defence modes, which you can choose.  If you are comfortable with the possible outcomes for psionic combat, pick your attack and two defence modes, and we should be set.

A cleric would be nice right about now, especially with Semina's blindess.

Curate Loric is a simple young man, second born to Lord Fredrick of Moray. He was sent to a monastery as a child for two reasons: to get him out of the way of his older brother's inheritance and to get him out of his fathers sight. He was born as if sleeping and quite small, but his family's prayers saved his life for some purpose. Still, his father saw him as a disgrace, set on him by the gods to mock him and cause him shame. Loric is frail, clumsy, slow, and weak, nothing like his father or older brother.

Once at the monastery, he showed great promise, especially for someone of limited intellect. He took imediately to the faith and began performing miracles by the age of 7.

An adventuring group in need of a healer asked him to join. They offered to provide him with food and to carry his few simple belongings.

Equipment: Robe, Staff, Coin Pouch, Holy Symbol, Prayer Book

I didn't see the 4d6 rolling method. If the GM wants to give me a strength / wisdom bonus to make up for my manly stats, it would be appreciated.

It might be easier to just pick one of the current zombied players.

Quote from: Kord's Boon;310224I might like to go with Sander Lightwalker human cleric.

Excellent.  If you are ready, I can pull you in now.  You can download the OSRIC rules and use those, if you don't have the 1st edition books.

Sweet. I'm using OSRIC despite having the 1e rules

Edit: Sweet about getting a cleric aboard I mean
