Title: First Thoughts on Characters
Post by: Asinjin on October 08, 2025, 10:18:10 AM
Any existing ones that you think would work in wildspace?

If we can find a way to include Zalthor in space, that would be entertaining. A Bugbear Berserker/Rager in space? What could possibly go wrong...?

Enzo would like to get off planet.

The recruitment poster is a nice touch.

If you're considering new characters for all of us, what options do we have regarding character creation? I was planning on using Zalthor, but if we need to create someone new, we'll all need some guidelines to follow. Also, if new race options are made available to us, we'll need those stats posted somewhere.

New characters would be an option.  There is one Giff available, other race possibilities I will work on posting.

Damien would be an option.  He would be looking for any new frontier with significantly less Quan Yin in it.

So we have Damian, Enzo, Zalthor...what could go wrong?

Windblade, Terrorshard, Zunder?  Who you got?
Title: Re: First Thoughts on Characters

The only character that would make sense in Gnelson, Ships Mechanic.  Maker of Torpedos, and steam powered hissers. (clickers that hiss - as they work cause they are steam powered )

The format will be similar to the seafaring campaign.  You will have one pre-existing character and a spelljamming new character.

I will start to send options for the new character and select existing characters starting next week.

Note that Enzo is 18th or 19th level, guessing that’s pretty far out of range of others. Gnickel might be another option since he knows Gneon and would be motivated to distance himself from the showdown with Malchia that he got pulled in to.

I also have an idea for a secondary character that I will message you about.

Everyone now has their exiting character, work on making sure those characters are up to date as I work on the secondary character options.

This will pick up in Coustus of 818.  That is the first month of the year.  It starts during the down time in Ermaneo after your return from the Iottian prison, but before the trip to Tafferville and the Great Forest.

Do these characters get passive XP for downtime?

If this is the first time they have been used in the 4th era, then no, whatever their listed level is at the end of their story is what you should use.  If they have been used in the 4th era, then yes.

The race for you new character can be almost anything from any world.
Title: Re: First Thoughts on Characters
Post by: Asinjin on November 12, 2025, 12:33:22 AM
Everyone will bring an existing higher level character.

Then, everyone will have 1 or 2 1st level characters.

Those characters can be anything, but unique races are limited to one each.  (some chosen races include Giff, Kender, and Dohwar).

If you chose to roll three d6 with no re-rolls for your characters in front of the other players, you get to start with a powerful magical item.  If you chose to roll them in order as well, you get two magical items.

Character can be planet based or spelljammer based.

Higher level existing characters are irrelevant for race and class when choosing the low level characters.

Unless otherwise stated, new characters have all their memories and realize that they were kidnapped and taken far away.  Re'alph and his agents weren't concerned with convert action.

If you are picking a character from a known world outside of habolsphere, you should have some knowledge of that place.  If you have never read any Dragonlance book, probably not a good idea to pick someone from krynn.
