[D&D 4E PbP] Police Cops: An Eberron Setting (OOC)

GatsbyGatsby Registered User regular
Unofficial campaign name for an unofficial group, if I say so myself. Alright @Melding, @Antimatter, @Huntera, @Dichotomy, @interrobang, @Solar, this is where we'll be conducting business outside of the game. This means character sheets, discussions on the setting, etc. For those unfamiliar with pbps here, we'll be using either Invisible Castle or Orokos for dice rolls and Orokos or Myth-Weavers for character sheets. Once I have a campaign setting ready to post I'll also go more in-depth into how we'll format posts in the IC thread, just to keep things easy to read and skim over.

For now though, chat about characters, backgrounds, and whatnot. If anyone requires help I'm on-hand whenever needed and I believe everyone's more than happy to help each other out. Bookmark this thread, and the coming IC one, at your own discretion but keep in mind we'll be frequently using the "@" system to make it easier to keep track of everything.

    I only have the fighting game thread bookmarked so this is will be easy to keep track of.

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    Does anyone have a link to a useful online character creator I can use?

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    thank god for bookmarks

  • DichotomyDichotomy Registered User regular
    how fortuitous that this opportunity came along, as I've been daydreaming the last several days over the character I would play if a pbp 4e game ever materialized

    now to write up some background

    Right, I will make my character tomorrow as I need to head to bed, got a job interview so can't stay up late

    watch this space!

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    and we never saw solar again.

    So, so far known party members are: Minotaur Monk, doppelganger ????, and then 4 blanks.

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    doppelganger sorceror, i think i've got a build going for

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    no idea yet

    i'm torn between a Bladesinger or some type of striker

  • GatsbyGatsby Registered User regular
    Alright, because I'm cooking something up at the moment regarding characters, once you have a sheet ready PM it directly to me instead of posting it here.

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    just gonna put background in here

    Feld: Doppleganger Detective

    Feld is new to the force, but he's demonstrated an incredible ability to notice things around him. Between the fact that he can infiltrate criminal rings without being noticed and that he can notice everything around him, he's a dangerous foe to evildoers. He's in possession of other strange talents, and while he can attack from afar he's adept up close and personal with a short sword. He possesses a standard issue set of light armor and a shield.

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    alright, i am going to make a defender, lest we end up with 4 strikers, a leader, and a wizard.

    no, they aren't.

    Like, yeah it says they're controllers, but i was out damaging a monk and a ranger. often combined.

    also they control for shit.

    Love the class, terrible controller.

  • DichotomyDichotomy Registered User regular
    the xbox 360 has the best controller



    4e is like a video game humor

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    Oh hohohoho

  • DichotomyDichotomy Registered User regular
    but wait, I say, maybe I actually want to be a dragonborn battlemind

    0BnD8l3.gif
  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    well, i made a tiefling swordmage i am already emotionally attached to, so i think we got things covered. do whatever.

    the fun trick with dragonborn battlemind is you can typically keep your bloodied value and your surge value hilariously close.

  • DichotomyDichotomy Registered User regular
    okay my soul-searching is over I'm going to keep it simple with a dragonborn rogue

    I know everyone was tense over my indecision (hello everyone who has this thread bookmarked)

    0BnD8l3.gif
  • GatsbyGatsby Registered User regular
    But Dich, your previous character was fantastic!

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    so before i dive headfirst into this whole character-creatin' business

    is there anything that's specifically verboten

    and i assume we're all starting at level 1?

    well of course, I say, preening, but at the same time it was a bit of a stretch with the campaign you've envisioned and considering I just got into 4e the monk feels a bit too wacky, I'm in over my head with it

    so the minotaur monk goes back in the toybox for a later campaign

    0BnD8l3.gif
  • GatsbyGatsby Registered User regular
    Yup, all start at level 1, as long as it's within reason and you have a good background to flesh out your character it should be fine. I've approved on some crazy shit in the past, I'm not going to betray that attitude any time soon.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    radical

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    we're going to be police academy aren't we?

    Was this ever not what was going to happen?

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    maybe you guys are going to be police academy but I'm gonna be Serpico

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    okay, just don't let the silver flame catch on to you.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    and i'm gonna be Ethan Hawke's character in Training Day

    naive and unerringly by the book and systematically broken by the inherent violence of the profession

  • DichotomyDichotomy Registered User regular
    in a stroke of genius I have determined the perfect inspiration for a dragonborn rogue but to be full effective I have to keep it a secret




    it's real good though

  • HunteraHuntera Rude Boy Registered User regular
    Ok finished a Hobgoblin artificer.

    Here's to hoping I am not the only leader.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    whoa

    where'd that come from

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    i sent this to a friend and asked if they'd gussy it up for me.

    and then they spent like about ten times the effort i was expecting.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    that is rad

  • GatsbyGatsby Registered User regular
    I really love that but

    um

    "Guard" isn't spelt correctly.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular

    http://orokos.com/dnd4e/sheets/5233

    hahaha, listen, sometimes, even Sivis makes mistakes

  • DichotomyDichotomy Registered User regular

  • GatsbyGatsby Registered User regular
    Spelt's an accepted past tense variation of "spell." Apparently it's more English while "spelled" is more American.
