Thanks.

Naren Ezer. Hmm...LN, cold, logical. I don't do neutral often, nor the other two.

Brought up by a distant and cold Wizard his parents 'apprenticed' (Read: Sold) him to, he scrubbed floors, cleaned dishes and learnt magic. It wasn't a loving environment, so he doesn't really know that emotion, but it was stable and reliable. He suspects he was taught magic because the wizard (Arceth Zezzar) didn't know what else to do with him and was LN as well, so fair pay for fair work.

He finished his apprenticeship at a mutually-agreeable age (Check ages) and left to adventure and as aquantances.

(Bit of a departure from the standard 'Sold into slavery' story. Suspect he was done a favor, in the end)

Do I get Read Magic by default, or do I have to select it? It isn't on the list that I can see.

'101 Ways of Bypassing Security', by Unsigned. (Co-signed by a Paladin, with church stamp, saying that the thief who wrote it is Good)
'Dirty traps and tricks', by M.Y. Shiv. (Front cover and first thirty pages: 'Gardening, Flowers and You'. Yes, Naren has a nasty mind. He's Lawful with very little Good. That means 'Mercy for bandits and monsters' isn't really that interesting a concept for him...)
'Morovain's Contemplations of Death Magic', by Morovain. (One of the very rare Good necromancers. No remaining spellbooks of his are known to exist)
'Laws and Due Process', by Sir Reginalt, with Unwanted Commentary by The Guy You Never Caught. (The Unwanted Commentary version is both more expensive and more helpful, from both sides of the process. TGYNC had an odd sense of humor and fairness, apparently)
'A Short Treatise of the Ethics of Magic Use and the Many Quandaries and Concerns Therein, Revised Edition, Vol. 1 of 32, Introduction', by Quincy Morris, Librarian. (The Introduction is what most people would call 'Very thorough')

Read Magic is a freebie, no spell slot taken up.  So, you will have 11 first level spells, plus Read Magic, so 12 total first level spells in your spellbook

Quote from: timrichter9;258884Ok.. So this is my first Module (rather than a social WoD type thing).
Are we doing a real time IRC game, or a post as you can type thing?
Will there be a FAQ explaining how you plan to conduct the game?
Thanks
Tim

Start of OOC and final instructions

I am going to keep the original recruiting thread open for rulings or other game related questions, and OOC for questions relating to the module itself.  I am not going to be some kind of hardass about that, though, so don't worry overmuch if you have a question about Castle Amber in the recruitment thread, or a general game question in the OOC thread.

Do you still have room for another player?

Quote from: Drohem;259793Do you still have room for another player?

It is looking that way.  What did you have in mind?

Quote from: StormBringer;259798It is looking that way.  What did you have in mind?

Well, reading through the most of the posts it looks like you have all the party roles covered; is there any role that the party is currently lacking?

I am flexible and can play anything really; although, I am leaning towards a dwarven fighter/thief if possible.

Sure, sounds good.  There is going to be overlap no matter what you choose, at this point.  We have a monk, and possibly a thief, so that is one area that is somewhat lacking.

Have you decided that you will be joining us then?  Haven't seen anything more on the thief front, or another fighter? What do you think StormBringer?

Eric E looks like he might have to be integrated later, if he still wants to, and I have it on good authority that Sinjin and Shellbee will be more available starting next week.  So for the time being, your Monk appears to be the only one with thief abilities.  The group could certainly use another thief for backup.

As an assassin I got some thief abilities, though granted not as good as full blown thief.

Dammit, I forgot about that, too.  I am going to have to start writing things down.  

Hey, I just realized that there is a 3% chance that I have psionic powers.  Care to roll that off for me Storm??  heh heh

Quote from: timrichter9;260130Hey, I just realized that there is a 3% chance that I have psionic powers.  Care to roll that off for me Storm??  heh heh

I 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)

I 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.

Eeeeeenteresting.

The Druid would certainly know some of this, as well the Assassin.  Probably the Ranger, possibly the Clerics.

It may come in handy.
