[D&D 4e] Vile Darkness (STILL RECRUITING 5/6)

[Arc Vembris]

This game will be a series of short adventures based around the themes of Vile Darkness within the campaign setting. This may be your opportunity to be a shining bastion of good against the oncoming tide of evil, or will you use the dark forces against their makers? You may be able to choose both.

After each short adventure the timeline will advance and you'll all jump up in level. At this point you can either improve your character or build a new one from the ground up (you may die, you may just like to build characters). With luck we can get from level one into mid-paragon in no time.

I'll also be trying something new and the combats will be run in Theater of the Mind, also known as "I'll describe junk and you make up how you fight in it", partly because I yearn for the old days and partly because I don't have time to manage maps. Combat will be less tactically strict and I'll let you fudge distances that I don't express as hard numbers. For those who don't know, 1 square = 5 feet. There will be use for Oppurtunity Attacks, but I'll let you get away with more in general. You may need it as I plan on this game to be pretty tough.

Themes: Please select a character Theme from any source. I would prefer not to use Dark Sun or Neverwinter themes as those are more setting-specific, but you may use them if they are all you have access to.

To start, you will all be residents of a small wooded hamlet called Sweetbriar, situated within the Harkenwold, whether since birth or only recently. This is set in the Nentir Vale for those who want to expand their knowledge of the area.

I am game to try, but I have to see how my homework goes... and how my nephew behaves today, before I can start a character  

[Absolute Virtue]

I might give it a go.

I am sure, I am just missing it... but, how do you deal with the stats/ability scores?

It's easy to miss when I completely forgot it. Use 22 point, or standard array.  

[KytanaTheThief]

....I'm in 8 campaigns. Well, 7, I guess, since one seems to have dropped. I shouldn't. I really really really shouldn't....

But I have been wanting to try a paladin....

*headdesk*

Here's the barebones of my sheet, I'll add the fluff later when I'm not feeling sick/exhausted from heat and such.

Alright, working on an Eladrin Paladin of Avandra right now....just need to choose feats and powers, got everything else worked out.  

[Kowsauni]

Are we allowed to use options from the dragon magazines?

Kowsauni

Are we allowed to use options from the dragon magazines?

Yes, should have mentioned that initially.

Also, it looks like the themes are winning, but it's a tight race!  

[Kowsauni]

oh shoot I almost missed that. Man if we are allowed to use themes that would be great.

I'm pooling character ideas right now. I'm only back for a day before I go out to sea so I will see what I can concoct by tomorrow.

Another question. Warforged, Says they are living constructs. Does that make them fall under the immortal race classification? I know they are not technically of immortal origin, like Shardminds for example, but I wanted to check before I played around with making one.

Specifically I am referring to the immortal origin, like shardminds. Warforged are just fine, and bear in mind that in the Nentir Vale most warforged are over 100 and date back to the Nerath Empire.  

[BegrudginglyGood]

I'm trying to work out a Half-Elf Sorcerer/Paladin

I just have to refine the spells/feats a bit and get a history worked out.
