Starting gold for a 10th lvl character is 49,000 gp unless otherwise stated. It's in the DMG, there is a table listing starting wealth for high-lvl characters.

Indeed. Standard 49,000 gp start.

Thank you both - I should be finalized with my character sheet today, then.

EDIT: Done now.

The Necrontyr Messenger · Tue Dec 23, 2008 4:06 pm

Excellent... I think we should probably leave it until the day after boxing day to start, as I, at least, will be pretty busy for the next three days.

Busy, busy, busy. So Necrontyr, do you want any sort of character summary or will the character sheets do for now?

Good idea - I was about to ask that same question myself. Due to the fact that my character sheet is huge, I'll probably put it in there anyway for conciseness' sake.

I think everyone but Nomad's (Still interested?) done one.

Character and background summaries are hella-useful, otherwise, just send any revised character sheets to me via PM or post them here.

rhoenix · Post by **rhoenix** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 5:21 pm

Mine's been edited in to the same post as my character sheet. That post is now half a mile long.

I've been recovering from a nasty flu-like virus. I'll make a character soon if it's not too late.

The Necrontyr Messenger · Sat Dec 27, 2008 4:20 am

Certainly. Hope you get better soon!

The Necrontyr Messenger · Sat Dec 27, 2008 2:22 pm

Let these things be!

Incidentally, the name only came when I was stuck for one, and then looked at the screen. And the Netherese seem to have had their (small) share of classic-esque names.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Sat Dec 27, 2008 3:11 pm

Paimon and Tenebrous bound for this meeting. Let's see if I made good pacts with them today.

Wait... nevermind. My binder check is 10 for my level + 6 for my charisma + 4 for skilled pact making so anything with a pact DC of 21 or less is automatic. And the DCs are 20 and 21 respectively. Yeah!

I'll post now and then PM you a full character sheet (it'll be the same as already posted but its so much easier to find as a PM) and then a bit of a write up on the character's background.

The Nomad · Post by **The Nomad** » Sat Dec 27, 2008 3:19 pm

Would you be okay with me making a shadowcaster/wizard/noctumancer?

The Necrontyr Messenger · Sat Dec 27, 2008 3:23 pm

Not sure what the last one is, but yes. So long as it's not something outrageously broken.

Alright - for grand entrances. How would our characters (mine in particular, as he would be a traveler/adventurer) have come to this city? Is there an invitation of some sort, or is that up to us to write out individually as our character's reason for journeying to this city, at this time?

The Nomad · Post by **The Nomad** » Sat Dec 27, 2008 3:36 pm

It's a prestige class from Tome of Magic. Basically can make cool counterspells and draw some energy back from a counterspelling effort. And it progresses simultaneously in shadowcasting and arcane casting.

You'd probably have been pointed to a semi-permanant teleportation circle by whoever recruited you (unless you're a native of the city, of course) to get there. They'd probably be in various sites around Anauroch, but one could be briefly created in other areas, if getting there isn't practical for your character. (More details on this particular mode of travel in play).

Ah. I'll have to take another look.

On second thought, a Wiz5/Shadow Adept5 is just as fun (from the Player's Guide to Faerun). Can I use Shar as my patron deity for the Shadow Weave Magic feat, or will I have to get Wisdom 15?

The Necrontyr Messenger · Sun Dec 28, 2008 12:51 pm

You can worship Shar. Or take a wisdom penalty. As you please.

EDIT: corrected a few errors in spells and skill points, finalized the languages, equipment and last feat.

Background-wise, I envision him like a native Shadovar (hence the Spellwise regional feat), noted by the Determinist tests as having a great potential for arcane magic. A patriot and worshipper of Shar, he quickly rose into the ranks, and will probably soon undertake the transformation that should make him into a shade, the city's true rulers.
Politically, I envision him as close to the Princes Vattick, Mattick, and Brennus, a scholar eager to gather ancient Netherese lore to help the City of Shade to prosper and overcome its enemies (that is, everyone else).

Tell me if there is anything to correct.

The Necrontyr Messenger · Mon Dec 29, 2008 4:36 pm

Looking ideal. (Everyone loves Prince Brennus)

Alright, just since this came up (and since I haven't picked my character's extra languages yet), what good common languages would you recommend, seeing as I'm not familiar much with Forgotten Realms?

frigidmagi · Post by **frigidmagi** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 9:10 pm

Common.

Ok, I have to give you a point for that one.
