Below is a character background that I put together for my Longtooth Ranger. Taggart and I discussed some aspects of linking our characters, but I am all for connecting to others as well.
I also attached my character sheet**. I found that I ran out of money due to my choice of bastard swords. I used every gold piece and didn't purchase an adventuring kit. Maybe getting that could be worked in somehow since I don't feel that I purchased anything in excess.
Let me know what you guys think:Ashen Stormcloak is a Shifter (Longtooth) Ranger that uses a pair of Bastard Swords and was raised in an urban setting in the city of ______ with an interest in artifacts of historical significance and relevance. Ashen began attending the local University at a young age compared to his peers in hopes to one day explore the world and discover great things.
Due to his average intellect and lack of funds, Ashen was forced to spend his time studying and was unable to explore much on his own. During his grad-work studies, he finally had the chance to embark on a few expeditions. On the second of which his group of archeologists discovered Tock. Professor ______ decided to take Tack under his wing to help each other. Tock became the muscle of the next couple of expeditions.
Ashen then graduated as an established Archeologist and decided to begin traveling the world. He had not been gone but a short time before Tock searched him out and informed him of the untimely demise of Professor _____ and his other companions. Ashen and Tock have decided to search for clues to Tock's past and seek those that have done them wrong...maybe even getting some ancient exploration done in the process.
**I can't figure out how to attach my sheet. I don't see the "paperclip" in advanced mode, as mentioned above. Could it be a permissions thing? Although it could be due to being so tired. I am off to bed.**
The paperclip should be located in the message box top ortion where allt eh font and link choices are. It's next to the smilies button.Quote:

In addition to what Urchin has posted, I have details about my character's past and choice of profession.
Left of my "smilies" button is "color" and to the right is "undo" and "redo." I am tempted to post it elsewhere and link to it.
Hmm, it's possible that attachments are only unlocked for a user after a certain post count.
Do you use Dropbox? I know Taggart does, but if you do not, grab it using my ref link and we can set up a shared folder for everyone to drop their characters into.
I guess it could be post count, but any idea on what post count it would be? As for Dropbox, I haven't ever used it before, but I downloaded it and put my character in my public folder.Quote:

What time are we doing this?
Does 1pm EST work for everyone?
Here is my character http://www.mediafire.com/?yzjyxqoegmo. I still need to come up with a background, but could you check it over and make sure I didn't do anything stupid? This was my first character, so I'm sure I messed something up.
I didn't understand totally what I needed to buy so I had 24gp left over. SewerUrchin said he needed more money, so I can give him some :D.
That works for me. What do I need to do to be ready?Quote:

That works for me...10am west coast. I wasn't sure what to buy as well. I heard warforged can wear armor in 4thed, so I might buy hide armor.
Really, what you want to buy is a main weapon (melee or ranged), a secondary weapon (opposite if main), a dagger for tight spots, armor and an adventuring kit.
The reason I ran short on cash is because I wield two weapons and they aren't cheap to start with. If you have cash to burn after getting what I mentioned, feel free to grab extra daggers and/or adventuring kits for those less fortunate.
Alright, lets all meet up on Vent at 1pm then! I'll send out the info via PM.
Also I went ahead and created a character for Astros Fan since he is too cool to create his own. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/91198/Temp/Thaldon.dnd4e
We have 2 clerics?Quote:

I didn't look at them, but if they are different build options, they will play differently...potentially very differently. And the power selection options means that they can give a wide variety of benefits to the party if they plan things out with each other a little.
Fun times today and everyone survived even though there were only 3 people in the party!
So does Sunday sound good for everyone for the next session? Anyone who didn't make it this time, please feel free to join us the next time we play or any time after that; all you need is a character and an idea for who that character is.
EDIT:
Just a reminder, everyone gained 20gp each, 266xp each and either Timman or Taggart has a hollow skull full of some sort of sludge.
I really enjoyed myself and updated my character sheet already. I even made a folder to put the sheet, my image, and my token into in the dropbox. I look forward to next weekend.
Thank you for running things Kamakazie. It was a blast. Keep up the good work.
Total success! Was a great time and we need more folks, so don't be afraid to jump in with us. Also, if Astro's build is close to mine, I don't mind changing roles. A few other classes will still be in line with my background.
I'm really glad you had fun! Astro mentioned that he might not be able to make the commitment, and I also made sure his character was spec'd very differently from yours, so don't worry about changing unless you're not having fun with the current char.Quote:

Gear will need to be bought from a merchant that is selling what you want or acquired in quests, you can only retrain a skill, power or feat when you level (and only one per level), and no gender swaps unless you work it into the story. :D
Had an awesome time. Thanks kama for setting it up! Looking forward to next week. . My gaol will be to incorporate crazy athletic based daredevil moves into my attacks.
