Are you using base SWADE, or also the Fantasy Companion?

As I'll need to think about what I want to be, to lead to a suitable name.

I need to think about what I want to do, as I'm in another SWADE game using the FC, so want to do something different to that...

No hurry: you have time to think and hopefully the setting information that I progressively will add may help you making up your mind.

Out Of Character thread

What character concepts are people considering?

As I imagine if we all wanted to make a bunch of Wizards, the GM would find some way to make it work.

But I'm guessing we want to be distinct from one another, and shore up different areas.

I'm thinking some kind of fighter/barbarian, looking at going towards edges that make him very hard to hurt/notice being hurt. Though it's making sure he can do something outside of combat and be useful.

Or maybe, a Bard who focuses on Tests/Support rolls, than doing fighting directly. Help the heavy hitters land their strikes, or make it harder for the enemy to hit someone.

EDIT
Also, clarifying this from the ruleset information page
quote:
• The characters start with $500 (referred to as gp in this campaign) but no other weapon, armour or equipment unless it is specified by an Edge (such as a Trademark Weapon or Holy Symbol).

So we're starting with money, but are unable to spend it yet?

I'm considering going with a sneaky Gnome hedge-witch healer character who has a kitty familiar.


Player 2:

The GM:
Only “classic” fantasy weapons and armour may be purchased with starting money.

While I'm sure the GM will clarify what they mean when they return, what I believe the GM means is we don't get any "freebies" (unless we have one of the specified edges), but we're otherwise free to spend our starting 500gp on standard fantasy-type gear during character creation before the game begins.

Although unspecified, I would presume we also start with basic clothing in addition to the 500gp.

Re: Out Of Character thread

Yes, I need to keep working on the threads with the campaign guidelines - please be patient as I still have a lot to do :)

If you want to play the barbarian, going for a Peshwar, a Skandaharian or an Afridhi are all suitable options.

Re: Out Of Character thread

I’m actually considering a Swordmage type if that would be valid in the setting. Someone who grew up with one foot in the arcane (from his father) and the other in the martial world (his mother who served as a bodyguard).

How to build will be something I still need to figure. :)

Re: Out Of Character thread

This sounds more like an Half-Elf, but I'm sure we'll get there! Now you may want to start thinking about your names :)
