Savage Tide : Out Of Character

I think I'm interested, if you'll have me, Sian. I've played play-by-post before, on Myth-weavers. I've also DMed, in RL. I haven't played Savage Tide, but I've heard it's very good. I'd be most interested in playing a duskblade, with runners-up being archer and caster, depending on what the party needs and what kind of story-inspiration strikes me. I'll go ruminate on this a bit.

your more than welcome THH smile

so ...

Dtay (Warblade)
Mardoc (Druid)
Lewwyn (Bard?)
HumanHyrda (Duskblade?)

sounds reasonable, if prehaps a wee bit light on dedicated sneak and dedicated arcane magic (sure, both Bard and Duskblade can do arcane, but they're hardly dedicated to such)

I'll be willing to accept another two players if anyone have some interest, otherwise thats enough for the show to get on the road when people have created their sheets smile

We've got a druid, he can just do everything :P

Character sheet is almost done (missing equipment), posting later today.

Never played a druid before - so I'll just take your word for that! I'd be willing to swap to cleric or something arcane if someone else has their heart set on the wild side. Especially if that someone else is a fifth player wink.

But I'll start working on a druid now. Can always start over if need be.

Wait - I just realized I should really be playing as a human wizard who polymorphs into a hydra to befit my username - but that would be broken.

On a more serious note, I wouldn't be adverse to playing as a beguiler if we need to shore up our sneak and arcane casting. I felt that might step on the bard's toes a bit though, depending on what he plans to emphasize, so I didn't suggest it. But I can happily splice sneaking onto whatever 'build' or play a more dedicated arcane caster if that's what we need. I'm easy!

I can emphasize more sneaky stuff.

Well I'm thinking about it don't know what I'm going to end up with yet. Maybe grab pick locks as cross class, but probably not enough points for trapping stuff.

If it works in your game a description of what these classes represents would be useful to this lurker. "Mage" is somewhat self explanatory, but I've got no idea what a "duskblade" is. I'm sure I could find a D&D wiki somewhere, but it's sometimes nice to see the community's take on explaining a game mechanic to outsiders.

Classes mentioned thus far:

Duskblades are a take on a 'gish', ie fighter+mage.

Warblades are just frontline fighters with more interesting game-mechanics and with somewhat of a wuxia-flavor (though its easy to ignore that part).

Druid = nature mage, imagine you know this one.

Bard = bard... music... etc., jack-of-all-trades
