I can tell you one thing....for level, put 1

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yeah, that's like.. all I know. >_>

[Ruki]

And you know your class will be a Cleric...and I assume you know your race?

I have no idea what to roll (for stats) or how to calculate how many points I get to spend for skill. Or money. Ask Sousa? He was nice enough to explain some things to me last night.

Also, where is the sheets we'll be using? And the explination for OpenRPG

I need both of those things too

And yeah.. if possible I'll be an elf cleric. All I know is that intellgience and wisdom are important stats for casters.

[Ruki]

Clearly we need to go on a quest to find these things.....or I can look at the PHB I have on my computer....

[MalaCloudy Black]

Do so! Then upload it somewhere and PM it to me? >_>

[Ruki]

Get on msn and I'll send it that way

Cloudy, you suck and are never on when I am. Grrr.

I've got OpenRPG, but it's the first time I've ever used it, too. Typically, I run sessions from IRC, which obviously has fewer features but also doesn't require learning some dope-ass program that won't cooperate. We'll see if I can figure it out, but if I can't, get ahold of mIRC and we'll work something out.

I suggest Campaign-Blog for character sheets; it supports 3eprofiler, which is a great program. I'll help people build sheets when I'm on, but if someone else can work with the newbies while I'm away, it's a 25-point stat buy. Newbies, don't try to figure out what that means without help, because it will make your head hurt.

For people wanting to do the stat-by, here you go!

Easy to use, even for noobs.

Edit: Yay for having part of my sheet done. Sousa=amazing.

You know it baby.

For anyone who's getting a sheet together, the campaign's going to have sort of a mountain flavor to it. Dwarf, Gnome, Undercommon, and Draconic are all good starting bonus languages if you have any, and tailoring your equipment toward mountaineering and spelunking wouldn't be a bad idea.

[Ruki]

As I am too lazy right now (and you vanished from MSN), work shall continue (items, BAB, all those other stuffs...) later!

I'll try to be on when you are sometime, but I share a PC with a chunky WoW-obsessed brother who plays until.. well, until you tell him to get off, most days.

Now, to google 3eprofiler!

And then.. to click Sousa's link! >_>

Ah, so far my character sheet is hilarious. I filled out what I like to call "the prettyful things" - hair color, eye color, race, gender, class - and then I got lost. : D

That's what I did, then Sousa came to the rescue. He, along with the PHB helped me figure out how many skill points I get, and where to put them.

[whiskers]

The basics on using OpenRPG.

After DLing and installing all needed components and patching the system to the current version, start the application.

Go to the top of the program when it starts and click "Browse Servers" under the Game Servers pull-down menu.

If the game is in Veav I (server choice doesn't really matter, so I'll just use my favorite,), connect to that specific server. You'll then be taken into the lobby.

There are then several subrooms, created by several GMs. Find the one that you're to be playing in (The GM can click "Create Room" to create it.) and then join it.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Awesome. Thanks for that.

[Ruki]

That seems easy enough....will probably be easier once we get into a room with it and stuff.

And looking over my sheet, all I really need it my items. Yay! For whoever wants to see your rogue....http://www.campaign-blog.com/view.php?id=8007

Basically, my character likes to steal things, getting a +6 bonus in stuff like Slight of Hand, Open Lock, and other stuff. but I get a +8 in Hide and Move Silently thanks to the Stealthy feat. Woo!

Also, how does one calculate the Base Attack Bonus?

So, who all is going to be in the party?

Myself, Whiskers, Cloudy....

[whiskers]

I'll be working on a character tonight.

[MalaCloudy Black]

And Sousa presumably, Ruki..

[Ruki]

He's the GM

[MalaCloudy Black]

Right, right >_> In any case, I added him on AIM and will try to be on more when he's on. I also got those two handbooks, gotta read those.
