Is there going to be a character generation thread or are we to just use this one?
I can cook up a character rapidly, but I hate to be redundant.
Oh sorry, I had intended to use this thread for character creation, it's been a while since I ran a campaign online and forget that there is often a different thread for character creation.

Dunno is this is still where characters are being posted, but here is my back-up character. Lemme know if a spot opens up or whatever.
Akido, the Reckless. A master of Bushido noted for his reckless and dangerous tactics in combat. Highly deadly when he strikes, but often leaves himself open to attacks that he probably shouldn't. Abrasive and somewhat rude. Full Bio (no backstory) on the sheet.

Alright.
We just need our 4th character posted and it looks like Nefragian still needs to be completed.
Nafragian is pretty much ready... I need to buy some things, but that's about it, I think. Even though he plays like a caster, he really don't get spells.
Can't finish him up tonight, have people coming over in... negative two minutes. But I can polish him off tomorrow night.

Ask Lolth. I also had an intimate relationship with a nymph before this, and go there every now and then for hot sexing even now. I'm also a pirate, so that explains the eyepatch of charisma. I have sailed the seven seas with my trusty rapier by my side for now, robbing ships by cursing the enemy crew to the sea. My ambition is to learn to shoot lazar from the remaining eye. Then I drank so much I forgot all of this, which sort of sucks. I still want to l2shootlazar, though.

@Amadi - Do you know something we don't? OP/DM/GM/HJ/TO/DoTA/BBQ said no backstories.
I'm also amused by some of your skills... 20th century pop culture?
Also, excuse my newbishness... how are you 1 level in truenamer, 1 level in something else, and 3 levels in truenamer? Shouldn't it be 1 and 4? Or does truenamer have some kind of weird reason to want your set-up?

Have any of those race templates been approved by the DM? Amadi, why do you always make the most ridiculous characters you can? Are you actually just bored with D&D but have nothing else to do, or what? Cause that's kinda upsetting. Like, a Spider with rapier.
And while I'm sure it has something to do with all the templates, how do you have such stacked ability scores? Before magic items. Like, nothing about your character makes any coherent sense whatsoever.

Dear lord, I didn't even look at that... yeah, I don't have 25's in anything.
I wasn't going to say anything, but I personally try to get a read on the DM and the rest of the party before I make a lulzy character. It's always awkward when a party is like... Tienelle, Bhorne, Razmar, and L33r0i J33nk1n5.
I'm not against it. I like DnD when it's funny, and I like it when it's serious, but it is really nice for the flavor of a game when everyone is on the same page.

Please, LethalShadow. I'm a humanoid. No need to be a racisttypist specie-ist .
And yes, Rules as Written, the character presents at least an arguable case of being legal. Yes, it abuses loopholes to get where it is, but what you guys are missing is the fact that the character is, krhm, truenamer.
And I'm going to be honest, even with the current ability scores, Truenamer is going to suck. With the normal ability scores at this level it is barely possible to succeed on using any of the class features as a truenamer, and even when I abused half of the tricks in the book, I still have a huge chance of failure not even factoring in law of resistance - To the point where it will be, in most combats, more beneficial of me to actually fight with my rapier, dealing 2 damage than trying to use my class features.
I don't know what tone the campaign will be in, either, but if it's based on JRPGs? Yeah, chances are that my character won't be anywhere near the weirdest thing around.

When I first looked at the character you had posted Amadi I had assumed it was a joke, a terrible one that wasn't that funny but a joke. However upon reading your more recent post were you defend it I am starting to think that you seriously think that there is any game in which play a character like that would make any sense, be balanced or be fun for the other players the DM included.
Please make a normal character, it seems like you are physically incapable of making one that doesn't abuse at least 56 loopholes in the rules and having 70trillion templates. However you are supposed to be destined heroes not freaks of nature.
