stat method used: 4d6 drop lowest
I know they are high, I always roll high stats, then during the game I can't roll higher than a 10 to save my life, it's depressing. So many great characters that have gone by the wayside due to poor rolling in game, but they all have outstanding stats. I'm in the process of trimming down my equipment I'll have to refigure everything up. I went into autopilot on that part and just took max starting gold as I always allow my players to have max starting gold for their class due to it being so little anyway. Already rolled up my gold and I only get 170 g instead of 200 so I'll just drop the healer's kit but I'll have to figure out how much gold that will leave me with. Might even upgrade my armor if it's enough.

[James]

Haha, don't worry about it man.

Are we going by the official rules for what our starting gold is going by? I wasn't sure because I remember talking to Light about it at one point but unfortunately I forgot the amount he provided me (hence why my character sheet has yet to contain gold in it...)

[LightSol]

Haha, well, forgive me for even consider you for any cheating or anything , and about the gold, we are going by the book amounts , the fact that you have low gold makes it challenging , and loot worth something , otherwise people are "wow i got a few hundred gold, mkay NEEXT" ~~ , BUT if you have extremely low gold and dont have enough for some basics then give me a shout and it will be allowed to get some needed gold, or you could ask your friends to share

Ok my plans for the game is next friday , are you guys available?

[TBeck]

porbably, what time (and timezone) on friday

[James]

Is there any way to do it Saturday?

I can do it Friday, but I'm going to visit my parents and my friends in my home town over the weekend and Friday is the prime time for me visiting friends.

[LightSol]

Well, if it means youll be able to play longer then sure, we can do it saturday.
The timezone for me is gmt+2 so i can start it from 1 o'clock. So yeah, you choose ^^

[James]

Whoa! Haha. This is going to be tricky... I live in the Pacific time zone, so I'm -10 hours from your time. This is going to be fun.

[LightSol]

Well, what do you prefer, late night or early morning?

[Tharris]

I prefer late night personally

[James]

Yeah, late night for me too.

[LightSol]

Well, that would mean starting at about 9 pm for you guys (if you all are aprox -10 from me) and i get up at 7am and lead the game . Would that work for everyone? Then the choice shows up of either Late friday or late saturday.

[Tharris]

either or works for me. oh i never did post the rogue my roommate was going to play.

[LightSol]

Well it was sent to me, so unless the others want to see every single detail , you can just say his power and such
