Ewe it is. Always nice to have one's act together.

feline

Rodent model: Capybara named Lydia. Or a rat if capybara is too much.

Feline because shinies and loot. Somali cat type.

haha, the Capybara seems like a quirky option, I don't know if I could do the species justice but If rodent gets picked, that's the species that I'll go with!

so far the poll seems balanced though

Mouse-gal.

RAMMING SPEED~!
The Ram's my pick.

okay! poll goes good, sheep lady goes without a change, as of now, there's two votes for rodent, two for feline and two for sheep, so miss little bitch gets discarded I guess!

(further experimenting capybara look, interesting little (huge) critters)

We need a raccoon or squirrel.

stat-wise, the raccoon would kinda take on the canine template, and I could consider the squirrel on the rodent-ish template, both are fun species to draw, so I'm fine with having these on, but so far, voting leans towards the sheep! while this goes on, I'm going to start with the picking of 'class/job' to speed things up~

>>557649
SQUIRREL YES

File 138982672911.png - (83.61KB , 659x613 , Classes.png )

okay so poll goes
Sheep 3
cat 2
mouse/capybara 2
newcomer squirrel 2
(am I allowed a vote? haha)

while that goes on, here is the breakdown of classes, yes, they are heavily D&D based, but also I want to give enough freedom. think of this more of a 'how do I define the character's backstory and basic training' storydevice than a solid videogame 'choose your limitations' type of thing!


Classes:
Melee fighter
HP: 12
-can choose unarmed fighter or weapon specialist
-proficient with heavy armour (unarmed get defensive bonuses for no armour)
5d4x10 starting gold


Ranged fighter
Hp:8
-can choose stealthy sniper or jack of all trades
jack of all trades gets several actions per round
stealthy sniper can perform one shot kills
-proficient with medium armour (snipers get offensive bonuses for no armour)
4d4x10 starting gold

Divine caster
Hp:6
-can follow a deity or a force of nature
deities come in several aligmnents and grant miracles
nature comes with affinity to an element and offers supernatural traits
-proficient only with natural (wood, leather etc) weapons and armours
6d4x10 starting gold for deity followers, 2d4x10 starting gold for nature followers

Arcane caster
Hp:4
-can opt to be born with magic talent or to learn it from study
born magic users are fixed with the spells they know but can use them more often per day
learned magic users have as much magic as their book allows, but have less uses per day
-non proficient with weapons or armour, armour might hinder in their casting (5% chance of failure per additional armour)
3d4x10 starting gold, magic book with enough space for 8 spells

(no, there is no need for players to keep track of numbers or anything in a straightforward sense, but I'd like to have some numeric references in case it becomes too hard to make a choice and rely on the old dice to solve things without taking biased measures or making invincible marysues, for the most part I want this to be fully narrative based, but again, trying to keep things under control)

(also, if you could give me a roll of 4d6 along with your votes that'd be just dandy)

>>557659
Capybaras!

Also: Divine Caster
(Take Arcane Caster at level 2; ALL THE ORISONS! ALL THE CANTRIPS! BREAK THE WORLD!)

Wait, are we building a party or cast, or a single character?

rolled 6, 4, 6, 6 = 22

---

>>557661
Rolling

oh no, world is going to be taken over by a slightly pudgy rodent with attitude spamming Dancing lights, Purify food, Prestidigtation and Detect Poison

... doesn't sounds all that bad for a partner for raves, keeps you safe -and- amused

rolled 6, 1, 6, 3 = 16

---

already voted for feline, specifically an orange tabby. stripes.

ranged fighter/sniper

>>557663
Nobody else roll! There is only a 0.39% chance to roll higher! :3c

>>557662

a single character, I just wanted to give some choice to the viewers rather than just making the bard sheep I want to draw err, railroading the artist's choice.

that said, once a character is chosen tonight, we'll stick with her as our main character but cameos are not out of question!

>>557663
... wat

you serious?

/roll 4d6

Lina the Sheep, unarmed melee fighter.

false alarm, everyone keep rolling.

Do you need more 4d6es? I assume you need 6 stats...

>>557644
I'm not too sure if I like the capybara on the left, but rodents are underrepresented.
I DO like the idea of the SQUIRREL so I vote for that! Rodent all the way.

Otherwise I'd like a divine caster. Am I right in presuming that the deity based caster CAN use metal armor and weapons?

do make a roll put

dice 4d6

in the EMAIL field.

rolled 1, 5, 3, 2 = 11

---

Still voting for cat, going with ranged fighter as well. No opinion on skill selected.
Also, Rolling! (did 4d4 the first time)

rolled 1, 5, 2, 1 = 9

---

so far:

Sheep 4
cat 3
mouse/capybara 3
newcomer squirrel 3


Divine caster: 2
Sniper: 2
melee unarmed: 1

stats in no order:
18, 15, 10, 8

I'm going to vote for the rodent, because she's got plenty of character in that original pic if nothing else. Fiesty sort of girl, and being a hunter for her village would mean mostly a ranged fighter. I'll go for the JOAT option, just because being self-reliant fits the character background. Those questors who've been around for a while might remember Iesegip from Knight Blades.

rolled 6, 1, 5, 2 = 14

---

I suggest divine caster because nobody ever picks priest.

Sheep, natural divine caster, stone affinity. Hammer-rammer!

>>557669
Obviously, the solution is an entire party of Bards.

>>557690
hnnnng

(also, stats? just need one more to close voting)

rolled 2, 3, 5, 2 = 12

---

So! Netsuki 2014/01/15(Wed)17:20 No. 557697 ID: db9156
File 138983523656.png - (122.56KB , 361x493 , Lina.png )

rolled 3, 2 = 5

Lina's traits

HP: 10
Str 18
Dex 8
Con 13(+2 racial) 15
Int 10
Wis 15
Cha 10

AC 8

stability, she can't be knocked over

skills: Handle animal, Heal, Sense Motive
attacks:
Warhammer +4 (1d8+4)
ram (2d4+6) *can only be used with a running start of at least 10ft, harmless otherwise
ram-rush (0) *after locking with a target, she can push them back at 1/2 her speed

nature priestess of earth
Orisons: Cure minor wounds, purify food and water, Virtue

Lv1: sanctuary
Earth: Magic Stone

Faith points equal to dice result/2, rounded down
Gold equal to dice result x10

design is ENTIRELY open to negotiation, also armour can be puchrased, clothing can be changed, stats can be realocated and spells/skills changed BUT, once the thread of the actual quest goes up tomorrow, there are NO changes

wouldn't you put the best stat in the primary thing? thought pristess used wisdom for spells.

>>557703
went by IRC sugestions of having a physically capable caster, besides, as far as offensive spells go, divine casters are kinda hindered at low levels, but ultimately, as stated, if you guys want me to switch things around, there's still 4 hours to go

Hammer-mage! This is fantastic!

>>557706
Indeed.

so, she has 50 gold pieces, 5 faith points

as far as protection, she can afford:
Padded5gp
leather10gp
studded leather25gp
Hide15gp
Scale50

bonus point for a good description if any

(remember to allocate 1/2 gold piece per day of rations and at the very least a 2gp backpack! she can't see in the dark, so lanterns cost 7gp or torches cost 1/100GP)

I'll be out and about for 2 hours or so, have fun~

>>557708
Um, what are the prices on everything? Also isn't 5/2 rounded down 2?

>>557709
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/goodsAndServices.htm

hammer is a memento from her master and thus does not counts for expenses, nor does current clothing

derp, me bad you are right, those are 2 faith points!

ok, now leaving for real

>>557708
What does she have already, and what other things do they have for sale?

But if I had to guess:

Survival wise, we're going to need a backpack, enough food for a week, skins to carry water, flint and tinder, a billy can, plenty of clothing, bandages, lantern and oil, map and compass, half a dozen torches, ropes, a hatchet, tent, and anything else I forgot.

For combat, we'll need leather or hide armor, and a decent hammer (unless we already have one).

Finally, we're going to need some currency left over to keep in a pocket.
There may be tolls, and we might have to buy more food or supplies further in.

Guess we're going with the sheep cleric. That's fine. How about a more sensible outfit for adventuring, though, considering this is someone who's going into danger. Leather vest and leg guards, at least. Guess she wouldn't wear boots what with the hooves.

Do ewes have horns?

>>557710
>>557716
This is what I get for forgetting to refresh a page.
Anyway, stuff:

1Backpack
1Tent
1Bedroll
1Blanket, winter
1Flint and steel
1small pot
1map
1Rope, hempen (12 ft.)
2Piton
1Waterskin
5Rations
2Torch
1Lantern, hooded
3Oil (1-pint flask)

For 26 gold, 37 copper.
That's a 26kg backpack (with the hammer). Very heavy, but we'll have to manage
Also, take hide armor for 15GP. That leaves us with 8 gold and change for anything else.

Besides that stuff, how much are hatchets, bandages and extra clothing?

so, after a long trip looking for her master who was last seen going into the eastern marsh mountains, thankfully, along the way, Lina runs across a peaceful little town, early in the morning, she is greeted by several farmers and their kids, it doesn't takes long for her to stumble across a store where a friendly mouse is arranging her wares


after hearing the request, she informs that she lacks any kind of map but she is happy to provide with some paper, ink and a compass instead

there are indeed hachets, and extra outfits as well!

(just because I feel like gambling, on a result over 75, you get a discount
75-85 = 20%
86-95 = 30%
95-100 = 50%

>>557733

15gold for the hide armour? you can't be serious, that has to be worth at least 20, just look at the fine fur patterns

oh, and you -ARE- aware that the kingdom imposes a tax on... uh, what day is it today? well, yes, today! it will be a total of 53 gold pieces

>>557721
her species has horns, not as prominent or dangerous as a male's, but they are usable to a certain extent, armour is being aquired!

>>557741
Lady don't be ridiculous. I'm buying a ton of stuff from you at once, I should get a bulk discount if anything. Stick to the standard prices or I take my business elsewhere.

>>557769

... fine, but just because you are doing this for a good cause, it will be 41gold and 37copper, if you round it to 42gold I'll toss some second hand clothes that will go well with the hide armour

the hachets cost 5gold, in case you still want 'em

That sounds alright.

Lets not get the hatchet. I think it counts as a metal weapon, which is against our religion.

not really. metal is earth with the impurities removed by fire. if we were a water or air element then yeah would be total bummer.

I think a hatchet would be fine so long as we don't use it as a weapon.

>>557772
>>557773
agreed, this is not really an issue here, besides, not like the hachet is all THAT great metal

well, the day has come to an end for me, so, after the choice of hachet is made, the thread will be over and actual quest begins tomorrow!

In that case we should get the hatchet. It could come in handy, and we won't have much use for the five gold in the middle of Doom Mountain.

>>557782
We still have a long way to go before we get to the mountain, and buying food is much easier than carrying it all.

>>557771
>42 gold for food, supplies, armor and clothing.
Done.

>5 gold for a hatchet.
Hell no.
How about four?

you can continue the thread regardless. threads are usable until near 1000. then they start getting weird.

FINE, 4 gold for this one, if you want it. here's your stuff, and you can change in the back


I swear, at this rate I won't be able to feed my eight little siblings, you do know the tax is going to come out from my pocket right?

Don't comment on the obvious sympathy play, there. Thank her politely, and go change.

+ angled horns higher up, hair decieves, but now the horns are way over the skull, allowing for good ramming action

+aquired old purple canvas dress, not comfortable but it offers better protection

+knee-lenght boots with added padding on the front

+leather armour with wool linning (wtf?)

(preety sure some noises where heard behind the dressing room but whatever)

Hmm. Aesthetically, I think I liked the lower horns better. (Maybe the same effect could be accomplished just by curving farther?).

>wool
...well, that's a little awkward, I suppose.

>Noise

Seems fine to me. No scamps out there at all. Just keep on taking off your clothes and do a little dance by yourself at the same time.

mouse voyeur! grab her by the collar.

...why is the changing room an external outhouse looking thing.

can't grab what you can't see!

store is too small, she did said the changing room was in the back
