Integrity Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) Fuck yes, motherfuckers, it's me. We're looking at a Black Isle RPG here, friends. This shit was made in 2000 and based off the AD&D 2.0 rules. That means THAC0. I LOVE THAC0. So what's the community participation? I've got to design a party of six. Those six? They are you, and you, and you. YOU CAN CHOOSE: /flips open manual [spoiler=the information, archived]RACE Human Dwarf Elf Gnome Halfling Half-Elf All races except Humans can mutliclass. Multiclassing in AD&D 2.0 means that, rather than starting the game as a Wizard, you start the game as a Wizard/Thief. You don't progress as a Wizard and decide to become a Wizard/Thief, you start as one. You can have up to three classes if you multi, and there are some restrictions. Humans, on the other hand, can dual-class. Dual-classes means you start as a Wizard, then sometime down the road you decide to become a Wizard/Thief. You can only do this once. The catch is, say you become a dual-class Wizard/Thief at level 8. You lose ALL of your Wizard abilities and become a level 1 Thief with a lot of health for all practical purposes. Once you become a 8 Wizard/8 Thief, your Wizard abilities unlock - but you can never raise your Wizard level again. There's a REALLY good reason this system was mega-overhauled for 3rd Edition. :P Speaking of... CLASSES Fighter - Duh. Ranger - Only Human or Half-Elf, and must have a form of Good as their alignment. Rangers are something of a Fighter/Thief hybrid who gains minor Cleric abilities later on. Paladin - Human only, Lawful Good only. Traditional Fighter/Cleric. Cleric - Duh. Cannot use piercing or bladed weapons. Druid - Human or Half-Elf only. Has a fuckton of weapon restrictions. Thief - Duh. Cannot be Lawful Good. Bard - Human or Half-Elf only, must be some form of Neutral. He's a funny dude with a lot of half-abilities. Think Fighter/Wizard/Thief. Mage - Duh. Oh, they're called Mages, not Wizards? - - Can specialize in a school of magic: Abjuration is protective magic Conjuration is summoning magic Divination is detection and divining magic; it's tricksy Enchanting is mind-fuckery Evocation is Stuff Blowing Up Illusion is Necromancy is duh. No zombie minion hordes. Transmutation "specializes in spells that alter physical reality" The benefit is you get one extra spell per spell level, the downside is you're locked out of an opposing school of magic. You cannot multiclass a specialist except for a Gnome Fighter/Illusionist, but Humans can dual-class it. ALIGNMENT The traditional D&D scale, from Lawful to Chaotic and Good to Evil. You can also give me a preferred weapon, if you want - knowing that there are some restrictions. Oh, also, a name. Processed all that? ONE CHARACTER APIECE. GOGOGO [spoiler=TEH DOODS][spoiler=Furetchen] Biography: Furetchen's REALLY just in it for money. [spoiler=Raymond] Biography: Raymond is fucking crazy. [spoiler=Balcerzak] Biography: Balcerzak, God bless him, is actually in this to fix people unlike you selfish twats. [spoiler=Skitarii] Biography: Skitarii's a Necromancer. What's to say? [spoiler=Acacia] Biography: Acacia mostly just didn't know what he wanted to be. [spoiler=Luka] Luka's a Bard. Bards are pretty interesting.

Scarlet Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Oh my god, Icewind Dale. I played this one several times, but always quit somewhere in Chapter 3 because all my parties sucked, making pretty much any battle ridiculously hard. I'll be sure to watch this, and hopefully learn a few valuable tactics along the way. I'd like to sign up. I'm not really sure about the class, but I think I read somewhere that human fighters that dual-class into mages or something at a certain level are supposed to be good. Maybe I could try that? Raymond (or Shade, if you prefer) Human Fighter -> Dual-Class into Mage or a specialized school of magic at a point that you deem suitable.

Integrity Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Fighter/Mages suck balls, because you still suffer armor penalties while casting. :D But you're in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Oh. Make me a pure fighter then, I don't want to drag the party down. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Consider that I'm going even if you all say Human Fighter. :P Plus, I've never made it past Chapter 1 - but I did last play for srs when I was, uh, 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcerzak Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'll take a half-elven cleric/thief, if that wasn't one of the forbidden multiclass combinations (I can never remember). True Neutral works for alignment, and just give him the customary name tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) Thief/Cleric is kosher. EDIT: I may even have some pseudo-story roleplaying fun. Look forward to Raymond abruptly murdering people Edited November 4, 2010 by Integrity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'm in as a necromancer. I don't care if I don't get zombie minion hordes, but hell, necromancers are just cool-sounding. Okay I'm still a good guy, its just my methods that are..........questionable. I don't know if I'd fit in lawful...but I know I'm good. That's for sure. Never heard of this game before....I'd look forward to it. I heard Heart of Winter makes things a bit easier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) No Heart of Winter for me. Just the vanilla game. :P EDIT: Since you didn't specify a race, I'm going to assume you meant "Gnome".

IGdood Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Okay. If necromancy doesn't work out conjuration then? I hate doing the fighting myself, I want others doing it for me.... (-signs of a RTS player-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Necromancy is in the vanilla game. Do you want that or Conjuration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Let's go for Necromancy. I have no idea which tree is more effective. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 I have no idea either, frankly. You're still a Gnome unless you protest, though. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) That's fine. My real-life height is quite gnomish anyways, HEHEH. ^ And yes, this is from Lords of Magic. Earth mage. Edited November 4, 2010 by skitarii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Sounds interesting, let's see... True Neutral Elf Fighter/Mage/Thief called Acacia. Hope it's acceptable as it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Luka Human True neutral Bard for me plz. This looks teh interesting btw. Make a dude for yourself too though! WE NEED OUR LEADER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) I'll be the leader, then. I'll create the d00dz tonight and start the proper update in the AM because THAT'S SIX! Incidentally, I can swap characters out at any time - if somebody else wants a dude (furet, lookin' at you) say so and I'll set up a rotation or something. Or swap myself out. Or Kill Off Skitarii For Real () Also, lol@you true neutral pricks. lrn2morals Edited November 4, 2010 by Integrity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) THING TO BE NOTED: You got off easy, Tarii. Gnomes can only be specialist Illusionists, so I made you a Human. :P We're waiting on Balcerzak now before I can get the OP updated with all of us. Also, depending on what Balcerzak says my class may change. OOH, THE SUSPENSE Edited November 4, 2010 by Integrity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) Incidentally, I can swap characters out at any time - if somebody else wants a dude (furet, lookin' at you) YOU STARTED THE SIGNUPS AT TWELVE FIFTEEN AAARGH Chaotic Neutral Elf Thief, favouring archery over hand-to-hand.
