Thanks everyone. Axe Cop is the bomb. Sorry to give you crap jaded. Funny story, chese named his original character at like 7, misspelled cheese, and stuck with it over multiple areas.

[Haahque]

I was just browsing around the web a bit an noticed that Invisible Castle is up and working again.

Whaddya know? I thought after the extended period of it being down it might have been gone for good, but nope, it's back.

[JadedDM]

Yeah, it's been up for a couple of weeks now, but we haven't rolled any dice, so it hasn't come up.

Although knowing my luck, as soon as we need it again, it will go back down.

[JadedDM]

Allow me to introduce a new player to the group, TristenC. Please make him feel welcome.

Any idea what you want to play, Tristen?

[TristenC]

Whatever the party needs.
Looking at the characters, it seems the party could use a full-time cleric. I'm not sure how clerics work with no cleric spells for 300 yrs, though... Had an interesting thought about a goblin cleric (outcast from tribe, frees desperate captive dwarf that goes back to old gods after capture, and teaches gobbo the way).

Or a kender with a fetish for performing (fire-eating, sword. Swallowing; thinking a rogue or bard kit for that).

OR a centaur Ranger... but that's just my ranger fetish coming through...

Thoughts/advice?

[JadedDM]

Yeah, clerics are tricky at the moment, as the true gods are just returning (or have been back for awhile, but in secret), depending on which god you want to follow. I can supply some more information about the gods for you. There are 21, but only 18 have clerics (the other three are gods of magic, and don't have clerics).

Pantheon of Light
Paladine (LG) - God of kingship, guardianship, redemption, good dragons
Mishakal (NG) - Goddess of healing, mercy, the home, compassion
Kiri-Jolith (LG) - God of War, courage, honor, solidarity
Habbakuk (NG) - God of animals, hunting, water, rebirth
Majere (LG) - God of discipline, meditation, thought, industry
Branchala (CG) - God of music, harmony, poetry, beauty

Pantheon of Twilight
Gilean (TN) - God of knowledge, balance, watchfulness, freedom
Chislev (TN) - Goddess of nature, wilderness, beasts, the seasons
Reorx (TN) - God of creation, mountains, metal, luck, pride
Shinare (LN) - Goddess of wealth, enterprise, communication, travel
Sirrion (CN) - God of fire, creativity, passion, renewal
Zivilyn (TN) - God of wisdom, foresight, prophecy, enlightenment

Pantheon of Night
Takhisis (LE) - Goddess of domination, hatred, evil dragons, intrigue, night
Sargonnas (LE) - God of vengeance, war, conquest, rage
Chemosh (NE) - God of death, the undead, murder, false hope
Hiddukel (CE) - God of greed, lies, thieves, secrets
Morgion (NE) - God of disease, famine, poison, vermin, suffering, madness
Zeboim (CE) - Goddess of oceans, storms, jealousy, spite

There is a temple to Takhisis in the city, recently built after the occupation. All other religions are actually illegal, so if you want to be a priest of any other deity, you'll have to keep it a secret while in the city or risk being arrested for heresy.

There are goblins in the city--most are part of the occupational forces, but not all. So a goblin character is doable.

As for a kender performer, I'm pretty sure there is a good kit somewhere in the Book of Bards for that. I'll have to look it up. Failing that, I could probably create a good one. Kender are everywhere, no matter how hard you try to ban them, so there are definitely kender in the city.

The centaur ranger is an interesting idea, but two things I'd point out is that this game has largely been limited to the city limits so far (the party has ventured into the wild twice at this point) and obviously centaurs are rare enough that he'd draw a lot of attention. It could work, but he probably wouldn't interact with the other PCs much unless he had good reasons for coming into the city.

[TristenC]

All religions illegal except the one for the lawful evil diety... interesting...

I'll browse through the handbooks listed in the rules section (I have copies of everything, including tsr's old core rules 2 chargen program)

As for the centaur, I was afreaid of that, but since you listed it as an available race I literally Had to ask

[JadedDM]

Yeah, Takhisis is a very...controlling goddess.

And so it's understood, I'm not saying you can't be a centaur. If you really want to, you can, there will just be some difficulties involved.

[TristenC]

Right, I understand that. I figured you wouldn't put it up just to turn it away. I just didn't know what the city/wilderness ratio was

My gobbo thoughts are leaning towards Reorx and Sirrion (who feels renewal more keenly than a reformed goblin?)
True neutral seems a good alignment for him...

As for the kender, I'll just have to browse the books and see what I can find...

[JadedDM]

Sounds good. Look forward to seeing what you decide on.

[TristenC]

I'm going to go for the Goblin priest of Sirrion. Do I use invisible castle to roll up the stats to get started?

[JadedDM]

That's correct. We're using the '4d6, drop the lowest' method in this game. Goblins get a -1 to STR and CHA and a +1 to DEX. As a cleric, you'll be starting at level 3.

[BishGada]

Welcome TristenC.

Good luck!

[TristenC]

Thanks, looking forward to my first game in years!

[djhyland]

Awesome! Yes, welcome, TristenC! I look forward to playing with you!
