Krak would be hunting more than sitting around in town doing an odd job or so, i am sure he would at least be framiliar with the rangers.

As not only an arcanist, but also someone with trap and mechanical experience I imagine most everyone in a small village would know of me, if not directly know me.
[Spoiler]
A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie.

alignment fixed, I totally missed the required good part (i probably read it as not evil).

I also fixed my sheet since it apparently didn't save properly when I added my sling and sai.

I had helped Tivus with his character and we had forgotten to apply his Wis penalty for race.  It's fixed now.

Flay, knowing your character fairly well would be fine for Tosc thematically.  He also isn't much for sitting around town so often would be out 'communing' with the spirits and hunting for food to bring back to the village.  Added our friendship to my background and can write in for other friendships (or other states of fellowship/knowledge) as we all see fit.

My thought process with Krak was that Arcos, with his ability to use Expansion and a reach weapon, would be among the few asked to deal with the Barbarian when he raged, so the two of them might have had some scuffles.

By the by, aren't we all supposed to be pretty young?

Anywho, so who knows who, or would like to work out how they know who? I suppose if you're a hunter, like Tivus, I would probably know you, as would I any particularly wilderness-based characters like Tosk or Krak Feng.

Not that I'm trying to force you to, but those are the most likely suspects. I've got all my info on my character sheet, for personality and history and such. If you know me, gimme a clue?

Sounds good for us to know each other since I'm planning to learn a little tracking and your planning to learn some scout action.   

Note for the sometime Frenzied Berserker, I'm glad I'm going to use my bow more then my sword and when you get High level which makes you faster then I am, I will hide in plain sight to get away from your Freanze.  :)

Thank you Hallack for fixing that for me one less thing that I need to do. I was going to correct it when I get off work or had a break.  :banghead

When you get old you start forgeting stuff, since, I'm the old man of the this group.

This village is pretty small, so Claude will have heard of anyone else who grew up in it. He is not as well-trained when it comes to a fight. This lack of training may cause the other more fighter-y members to look down on him. Those nearest his age would start with the most hostility because despite his lack of combat prowess, the village elder, Hornan Atwyl, has taken an interest in his magical abilities.

Hopefully, Claude will survive long enough to prove himself to be useful in-game. You all should have a good idea of how he can help out-of-character though.

Oh yeah, big thing, I forgot. For the cleric, you may want to get the 2nd lvl spell, Substitute Domain from Complete Champion. You'd have to pick a deity, but it lets you swap some of your spells known, which can be nice.

Yeah, Tosc is not much of a fighter either.  Many, particularly those that do not know him well may take him as being a bit peculiar and crazy.

He tries to be friendly to everyone as part of his way of carving out a place amongst the peoples of Beren's Creek, even to the point of putting up with crap from those of the village.  Basically he tries very hard to be accommodating for fear of being without a home yet again.

The reason why I mentioned putting armour on might be an issue is that at level 1, your buffs don't last that long. If you buff the party then spend time putting armour on, the spell(s) might run out before you are ready to rock and roll.

My 24 hour Bless says otherwise :p
Of course, this might change in a level or so, but for now the only buff I have to make sure is running in combat is Bless.
Figured I could save the Lesser Vigors until after combat.
Entropic Shield only helps me, which means that the only one crying if I don't cast it will be... well, me.
Deathwatch will probably not be cast much. Hopefully.


Don't have a slightest clue how Substitute Domain would work with this system. I would loose either the extra turning, which I need, or the re-roll, which I like.
I also don't know which other domains my goddes provides, appart from the rather obvious War. So I don't think I'll be doing this.
Regardless, it's not a factor until three levels from here.

Is Brown taken?

I have another game on another server.  I notice it was nice, if people put their Char name in their sig.  It makes it easier to identify the Char with the post.  I know this might not work, if you have more then one games going on in the same server but it would be nice.

Or put your name in front of your post, pls.

krak, that yellow is very hard to read.  Will you, please, consider changing and saving my eyes?

If you need me to I'll find a new color in place of pink, but with the large number of players I think we will quickly run out of readable colors.

what I have done to help with hard to read text is just highlight it with my mouse.

Yeah, basically. If it's hard to read, then Ctrl+A will probably fix the contrast.
