Roll the dice to see if I'm getting drunk!

[alliancesjr]

Using the D&D Character Generator to get a good idea of what direction I want to go into. Rogues have sexy abilities, but so do Shadowdancers, and I can very easily transition from Rogue to Shadowdancer (If I take ten levels of Rogue, I get the best of each class).

Our characters will start at level 12 at the beginning of the campaign, apparently. I don't know why, but I'm not going to complain.

These are just to get a good idea of the direction I want to go for my character; I'll roll my Rogue and work out the statistics and specs by hand once I make a decision.

Comments and opinions are greatly appreciated; especially as far as choosing where Skill Points go. I was having trouble with those.

If you are more interested in you basic Robbing, Looting, and general thievery, I'd say go straight rogue. If you want a better fighter, go with the Shadowdancer.

And I'm still not totally convinced I like this starting at lvl. 12 business. Seems too much like cheating to me, I guess.

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

Like I said, this was the first I'd heard about it. I was expecting to start from the beginning.

by my stars and garters...

[darilyn.livejournal.com]

Was that a KoDT reference? :o

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

A what now?

[darilyn.livejournal.com]

Knights of the Dinner Table. And I guess that's a no, lol.

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've heard/seen it.

It's a Deadale Wives reference.

[darilyn.livejournal.com]

KoDT is a comic about some very inept gamers. You can find the "Bundles of Trouble" at your local comic store that has about 3 comics per volume.

Fantastic reading for us dorky folk. :)

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

I just got caught up on Order of the Stick last week, so I'm definitely in the mood for more dorky humor.

I'll keep an eye out for it.
