rollan?

rolled 3, 5, 2 = 10

STR I think

rolled 1, 6, 1 = 8

A stat!

rolled 1, 6, 3 = 10

DEX

uhoh some of those others aren't too good

rolled 2, 3, 6 = 11

>>14107309
>>14107308
TEEGEE DIIIIIIIIIIIIICE

ROLLAN

rolled 3, 5, 5 = 13

>stable Wiews

nothing is stable about this.

rolled 4, 4, 2 = 10

here's for an 18...

rolled 1, 6, 1 = 8

We are well on track for NPC STATUS CONFIRMED.

>>14107321
A thirteen for Wisdom!? We could be a CLERIC

That is Wisdom, right?

Lookin' mighty bland /tg/ man- WIS high- look alike Cleric time!

rolled 3, 4, 3 = 10

>>14107328
indeed. Chum, the hapless Cleric of Mediocrity.

>eleiv EXERCISES
yeah captcha, if we had done those workouts we could've been a kickass fighter. now look at us.

>>14107330

That's cool. It's just too bad that Wizards are unanimously better.
...
...
No, I'm kidding. Clerics kick ass. Paladins are useless in 3.5 because Clerics are them but better. Paladins in 2e are worthwhile, because they're just better fighters.

i'll draw up a character portrait for this hapless fuck if i dont pass out soon.

to pass the time: cowboy mecha.

Hm, well, it's looks like you're completely... average.

Would you like to begin play with these stats?

>>14107357

Hey, that's 3d6 in order for you. I kind of like the 'roll 7 dice and put them where you want,' but it kind of...I don't know. It's kind of not congruent with the rest of 2e.

>>14107399
NO

>>14107395
Reminds me of Gun X Sword

rolled 3, 3, 4 = 10

>>14107399
NONONO

>>14107399

Oh man, AD&Dee order is all different from the 2nd edition order.

Whelp 13 dex looks like fighter or thief then. LOCK AND LOAD BOYS.

>>14107399

how the dick what

...high dex? we are now Chum, the Uninventive Cutpurse?

>>14107399
Woah

You order stats Totally Different than I do
I go
STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA

>>14107399


HELL NAH

>>14107362
>Implying Paladins can be Grandmasters.
nope.jpg

Sure, IF you get a Holy Avenger you're pretty awesome. Besides that, a straight Fighter will fucking stomp them.

Fuck the NO, we roll with destiny and her loadout of 10's and 8's... hell, if we get distinctly un-teegee and play and elf that DEX goes to 14 in AD&D, right?

>>14107399
Yes!

>>14107416

Thief. Way better.

Maybe we should actually figure out WHAT THE FUCK ORDER OUR STATS ARE.

And then reroll.

>>14107413
>>14107406

Well then, you may get one mulligan of stats

>>14107420
In 1e DnD, stats were done in this order. We're playing hard mode motherfucker, so man up.

>>14107454
If the mulligan stats are worse, do we have to take those?

IT'S THIEF TIME MOTHERFUCKERS

rolled 1, 5, 4 = 10

im using my weighted dice this time.

mul cha

>takagi kineset

>>14107399
You put those stats in the proper order, you chucklefuck.
STR-DEX-CON-INT-WIS-CHA
Then, yes. Play with those stats. I have no problem with going with our rolls, but do it fucking right.

We've got a 50/50 on the mulligan, how do we decide brotherans? PLaying it out on 8's and 10's is ok by me, really. But whatever, it can't be worse and thief sounds awwwright for playan'

>>14107469
Let's face it...the cruel dice gods demand our mediocrity.

>>14107461
Yes.
That's how mulligans work. Always.

rolled 1, 1, 5 = 7

Rolling for not being average!

rolled 4, 6, 2 = 12

worth a shot

rolled 5, 4, 4 = 13

Rollan. This would be, what, int?

rolled 2, 4, 6 = 12

>>14107487
DAMMIT MAN TRY HARDER!

>attempt dutome
DAMMIT CAPTCHA WE ARE!

rolled 3, 5, 4 = 12

>>14107487

Uh oh that was me and I think I'm letting us down :(

From teh wiki on D&D:

^ Given is the current standard order for ability scores, with the three physical scores before the three mental scores. Prior to the first edition of AD&D they were ordered: Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Constitution, Dexterity, Charisma.

**** In the first edition they were ordered: Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma.

>>14107478

As has already been pointed out, that was the order that stats went in AD&D

>>14107495

Sweet redeem my seven with a 12 :D

rolled 6, 4, 6 = 16

>>14107495

actually, this time round we didnt do half bad. only one below-average stat?

rolled 4, 5, 2 = 11

>>14107489
Wait a minute, 3d8? You cheeky motherfucker.

rolled 2, 3, 8 = 13

>>14107516
Shhh, I'm not gonna fuck up this game!

So you might be functionally retarded, but on the other hand you're slightly better overall.

In a rare fit of mercy, you may choose which stat set you will go with. This wil be my last, however, as shit goes downhill from here.

>Mediocre versus Functional Retard
>Best of seven votes win

Holy Balls, that improved:

STR: 7
INT: 13
WIS: 12
DEX:12
CON: 16
CHA: 11

>>14107532
>>14107489

STOP CHEATING WE DO WHAT THE GODS DEMAND!!!....With a muligan :D

Captcha related: MILITARY thads

>>14107555

WIZARD!!!

>>14107545

I demand Chum, the slowest adventurer! Functionally retarded!

>>14107545
Low strength, high constitution Wizard.

>>14107545

My vote goes for the second set of stats

Capthcha: tloat economics

>>14107555
This. Let's use this.

rolled 94, 69, 48, 80, 35, 34, 16, 28, 29, 54, 34, 91, 45, 98, 48, 50, 59, 65, 91, 62, 14, 62, 101, 80, 62 = 1449

>>14107399
VOTAN

>>14107570

Do I see a cleric?

The old STR <> INT, WIS <> DEX, CON <> CHA pairings actually seems a bit like the WoD Physical/mental/social power/finesse/endurance spread, just without the social as much.

The first two are raw power in body/mind, the next are agility and flexibility, the third resilience and fortitude.

i vote let's go for 2nd.

what should we be named? Rorgat?

Saw the cheating, modified stats.

Current set of stats.

Personally, I vote first, but will not count my own.

>>14107555

Not using this spread is ridiculous, high CON wizard sounds like a good, fun idea. Placing 10 internets on our dying in the first three fights as our 1d4+2 HP or whatever it will be get burned up in one swing.

why is the 16 dropped? it was the 12 that was rolled on a d8...

>>14107639
>>14107627

nope. we cant be Chum von Beefwizard because we're being assbackwards 70s-fags.

looks like cleric. or paladin.

>>14107659
opps, nvm. is charisma 10 or 16? i misread....

>>14107627
BARD.

>>14107627

Oh man, didn't see Siege's first roll.

10, 7, 13, 12, 12, 16... hmmm, pretty blah. What uses CHA in 1st edition? Bard is a nightmare of multiclassing through Druid and other shiz, is there anything that wants CHA out of the box?

>>14107678
i'm thinking pally

>>14107690
i second bard

>>14107683
Charisma is 16. stats we're drawn from the following posts, in order:

>>14107469
>>14107487
>>14107491
>>14107492
>>14107495
>>14107509

63 posts and we haven't figured out how "Roll 3d6 6 times in order"

>>14107693
>>14107627

Yeah, at this point I too must vote cleric. Let's get our mace and smite action on. We could also roll THF, 'cause high CHA and being a dashing scoundrel bastard is alright by me.

Cue divisive bickering about how to represent our devotion to religion....

The second set of stats have been decided upon for use.

Next is Race:
>Human
>Gnome
>Half-Elf
>Halfling
>Half-Orc

>>14107726

God of Mediocrity. We are Chum Von Simplebottom afterall.

>>14107703
>>14107712

I can't remember the pally qualifiers in 1e, but in 2e it took a 17 cha, which we don't got. Bard is a special snowflake thing you get after ridiculous multiclassing into several different things.

DM, can you clarify which options are actually available? What are the Cavalier reqs, since being a SUPER PALADIN out of the box is also awesome.

>>14107693
Nothing really USES it, but a minimum charisma is required to qualify for bard and paladin, IIRC. I can't remember what the requirement is though. It may play a part in psionics, but I don't think it did.

>>14107739
Half elf? Let's go with half elf.

we should play halfling :D

>>14107773

im down with saves to some magical crap.

Wait, wait, this is 1st ed.
Are we playing with attribute requirements for class availability? If so, yeah, our options are kinda limited, but if not...

Gentlemen we HAVE to become a bard. Old school, motherfuckers, fighter then thief then druid.

>>14107739
gnome

Gentlemen, remember level limits?

Human only.

Final Destination.

>>14107788

Bard is way the hell out of reach. To wit:

To become a bard, a human or half-elf had to begin with very high ability scores: Strength 15+, Wisdom 15+, Dexterity 15+ and Charisma 15+, Intelligence 12+ and Constitution 10+. These daunting requirements made bards one of the rarest character classes.

Bards began the game as fighters, and after achieving 5th level (but before reaching 8th level), they had to dual-class as a thief, and after reaching 5th level as a thief (but before reaching 9th level), they had to dual-class again to druid. Once becoming a druid, the character then progressed as a bard.

on_.281977-1988.29

>>14107752
even if we make Cha, I'm pretty sure1e paladin has minimum strength and con we don't meet. MAD out the wazoo, 1e bard, paladin, monk and ranger were basically that editions PrC equivalents. Barbarian Cavalier and acrobat too.

half-elf

Yeah boys, I don't think we qualify for any of the special classes, no ranger, Cavalier, Paladin or Bard

Human

Come on faggots, lets do this the only way right

human time

I also vote half-elf, just for fun. I gotta torrent me some 1e books fast to remember this all, my grognard-fu has guided the thread to some degree, but I admit that I started playing seriously only in the 2e days and never knew the true glory of advanced.

>>14107809
>>14107858

I love how anonymous assumes this character is going to see enough play to get anywhere near level limts....

i believe humans got 3 first....

Damn this is taking forever.

Now, based on your scores, you qualify for the following classes. Make your choice.

>Cleric
>Druid
>Fighter
>Thief

>>14107875
I just love anonymous. (:

druid

THEIF! SNEAK AND STEAL SHITS

rolled 587 = 587

>>14107909
Theif

>>14107875
Well to be fair, some of those level limits were like level fucking 5.

Oh you want to be a halfling fighter? Well SIT THE FUCK DOWN Thrillbo Baggins because your ass isn't going anywhere. But hey your human and half-orc fighter friends, they're free to have as many levels as they like.

I realize it's spelled "thief..."
polite sage because I'm dumb.

THIEF.

>>14107909

I say druid or cleric.

Fuck, we GOTS to do druid! Fuck!

>>14107965
>>14107938
>>14107937


THIEF it is, clusterfucker!

Next, roll 1d6 for HP. Alignment will be decided by actions once play begins, and is subject to change.

>>14107998
Calm down, James Brown. Just because people want the same class (you know, the only one with access to kick-ass thief skills) it doesn't mean they're the same person.

rolled 5 = 5

let it be high!

HP roll

ohshitohshitohshit

Thief or druid, I care not which.

>>14107909

Welcome to character creation in grognardia DM.

Later we will debate which historical polearm was best suited to unmounting western European knights from some unnamed time-period while we drink all the soda out of your mom's fridge and lounge about in your bedroom throwing dice at one another.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of time to progress the game tomorrow when we also come to your house straight after school.

>>14108023
not too bad...

Ohthankfuck.

>>14108023

Please place your fist upon mine.

what's next?

>>14108042
*over the internet fist bump* XD

>>14108023

Oh the dice gods have smiled kindly on us. My original DM used to regale me with tales of his 3 high school years of playing 1e, when only 10% of all characters survived to 5th level. His group stopped naming anyone until they reached 5th level, in fact.

He only ever had 2 wizards out of ~30 make it past 1st level. Both went on to glorious futures eerily similar to current 4e epic destinies.

A name? Gear? Weapon proficiencies? It's been a while, I think 1e thief skills were a straight chart, no points to distribute.

>>14108084

Name is CHUM. Anon posted this long ago. We are now Chum the Dashing Bastard.

We are actually and formally a bastard, not knowing the fate of our father- it's a good thing we don't care.

Gear should be auto-picked by the DM, we seriously don't have time for that. Straight chart is correct, weapon proficiencies are an invention of 2e, 1e just told you what you could use.

>>14108084
correct, name....

Marpks Iternat <--captcha's suggestion.
i'm horrible with names, so suggest some guys >_<

>>14108109
i can work with chum. I second it

>>14108109

Also, my apologies, but I must leave Chum the Dashing Bastard behind for the evening. It's 12:20 here and I've got a job and daughter that will require attention in 7 hours.

>>14108111
John Madden the Space Marine

>>14108109
I sincerely ask that we also have an alcohol-laden flask on our person at all times in addition to our normal inventory/equipment.
Please.

I refused to be lumped in with the rest of you numb skulls, so I rolled up my own character. Stats, race, class, everything...

Gnome Bard (Gallant kit)
Str-11
Dex-16
Con-7
Int-18 (+1 do to gnome)
Wis-5 (-1 do to gnome)
Cha-17

Pic related. Rolled up a pretty marine.

One assumes that Chum was raised in a rundown dockside orphanage.

>>14108137
second the flask. i should get some to get into my character's shoes XD

>>14108139
Welp, that's wrong on several levels but hey, have fun playing with yourself. Sure that'll turn out great.

Now, last but not least...

What's your name?

why does he look like a faggot
>>14108178

>>14108152
or it could be a rundown orphanage on the corner of Bell street, where land is cheap, and that's as much as the city is willing to pay to raise the poor pups.

>>14108178
Please,
Add in: 1x flask of alcohol

Also, I think we've all come to accept the name "Chum."

Chum the Dashing Bastard

>>14108178
Why we're Chum, the Dashing Bastard.

Raised in a dockside orphanage, and always have a flask of hooch at our side. Our crippling alcoholism both adds to our dashing charm, and explains our low Int.

Pauly D

Captcha knows best.

>>14108209
haha, we could have a split personality! XD. since it requires 3 people to agree anyways :P

>>14108194
Because he's dashing, jizzchin, try to keep up.

thrillbo, cc, and /tg/. i never played 1e before, so sorry for my ignorance. i'll try to keep up

You are Chum the Rogue, also known as The Dsashing Bastard. Indeed you are bastard by pedigree, never having known your own father. Your mother, you never knew either, for she died when you were but a small child an bequeathed you to an orphanage run by a small church down by the docks. The orphanage, run by a kindly priest and several nuns, tried their best to raise you, but you were too good at getting where you shouldn't for your own good.

Eventually, as all children do, you grew up after a heart-wrenching good bye left the only place you coudl call home.

>>14108258
Hm? Nah, that wasn't directed toward you. You're doing fine, don't sweat it.

>>14108269
>Rogue
CHARACTER RUINED.

>>14108269
hahaha, probably got knocked in the head a few times when we were smaller...

>>14108269
what did we steal on the way out?

>>14108304

Dignity

>>14108337
Yeah, but we blew all of that on a pile of hookers our first week on our own, because pfff we sure as shit don't have any of that dignity crap laying around *now*

I'm going to leave this here.

>>14108399

He looks like a damn jedi now.

>>14108399
nice :D

Wait, something's missing...

Unfortunately, it seems your old home has fallen on hard times, and is struggling to secure it's continued existence. Chum, while never the most moral or even humane, has since vowed to use his dashing good looks and sly skills to help protect his old home by sending them enough money to keep them afloat. After taking a fair share of the profits to keep you alive and healthy, of course.

Taking up the life of a murder hobo, or Adventurer as you prefer to be called, Chum has scoured the lands, looking for the next big score to keep himself with loose women and orphans a roof over their head. The latest rumors of wealth and glory have brought you to the castle before you. Here, it is said, an ancient line of nobles partook in blood sacrifice, and made pacts with sinister creatures from the shadows to amass their riches and power. In the end though, their own greed and vices tore the family apart, where they were lost overnight durign a terrible storm. It is said, in the keep of the castle, the last survivor of the family, the only pure soul of the whole lot, sits and weeps for the kin it has lost, and keep watch of their earthly goods and last possesions should they ever return. Never one to be scared off by superstitions when there was a chance of gold, you've arrived at the lost castle after dark, intent on robbing the castle blind. After all, what could happen?

You're on a mission from god.

THERE we go

>>14108487
the flask!

>>14108495
how good are our skills anyways?

>>14108496
MARVELOUS.

>>14108495
>mission from god
+10 INTERNETS, M'BOY!

We approach the castle under the cover of night. We observe the ramparts, the stone walls, the portcullis... We look for any way to breach the castle aside from barging in the front door like a lunatic.
Having found such an entrance - we climb.

>>14108495
What's with the penis tower? Is it symbolic? I know there must have been SOME reason for the bad things that happened to that dynasty...

>>14108497
>get ye flask

Wasn't there some rule about having less than 9 INT making you talk completely retarded?

goodnight Chum you better still be dashing when i get up.

>>14108551
along the way, we shuold probably keep an eye out for dangers such as traps...

>>14108578
>get ye flask
Finally- someone who understands me!

Take a swig from flask. It's going to be a long night.

>>14108526
Currently you are a level 1 Thief, or Rogue

>>14108578
Flask GET!

>>14108616
>along the way, we shuold probably keep an eye out for dangers such as traps...
~>joke about the last surviving castellan goes here <~

Anyway, yeah. Let's scale us some walls.

Wait, scratch that, let's take ourselves a drink THEN scale us some walls. Climb Walls skill GO!

>>14108578
You can't get ye flask

>>14108678
Takign a swig of your lovely little flask, you find yourself buzzed, but not to the point it will hinder your abilities. You think.

>>14108700
ohh boy, the anon is going to be pissed... but who cares. we try to scale the wall? or find a sewer or something to enter?.... so we dont' fall to our miserable doom so quickly

>>14108700

Is it time to open the Gate?

>>14108723
Checking the surrounding area quickly, you find no one dead or alive to impede your way to the castle. Swiftly, you dash to the top of the him, to where the bridge connects the castle to the rest of the bluffs.

>>14108758
swagger across that bridge!

>>14108758
DM is pro, honestly, with all that drawing, i'm rather surprised he could keep up.

anyways, do we see some enterance where we don't have to climb the walls?

>>14108777
You find the brdige and swagger like the goddamn king across it.

>>14108828

>>14108828
start sneaking around, and keep an eye for danger as we enter the castle

>>14108860
...well fuck

>>14108874
is that lightning? if it is lightning, i'm running into the castle for cover. lightning is scary.

if fine with you guys, i'm playing this guy to be a bit scared with storm lightnings and thunders. call me out if you guys don't like that

Well fuck.

Screw it, Chum can roll with it. Besides, castles tend to have wine cellars and shit. We can manage.

In fact I *think* I know where we're headed to first once we get inside.

>>14108874
Well, it could be raining too.

>>14108897
Run from the lightning, for sure. You don't mess around with that.

what do we see when we get inside then?

>>14108902
Awwww yeahhhh.
SHIT bout to get CRUNK.

>>14108902
>>14108910
definitely. "lightning strikes. TPK. roll again." Maybe the second time we'll learn to fear the lightning

>>14108897
Indeed it was lightning. Too close for comfort lightning at that.

Pulling yourself up off the ridge, your spy the now collapsed bridge with of modicum of fear. This is not going to plan.

>What do you do now?

Shake ourself off and swagger over to the castle, scoping it carefully for entrances, enemies and the like.

We should probably have a long pull from the flask as well, to steel our nerves after that close call.

>>14108965

>>14109008
...Big Door

>>14109011
Smack the door with our dueling glove.
(I'd really like to see you draw this)

>>14109022
animooted

Get us inside that castle DM.
Let's stop fucking around guys.

>>14109077
epic dm. just epic.

yeah, let's get inside and avoid the rain/lightning.

>>14109077
DM don't get hung up on the pictures. You should focus on the story first and save drawfaggotry for when something important happens.

>>14109084
roll 1d100 for to see if you can climb the walls

oh cool, AD&D isnt banned anymore. good to see /tg/'s returned to some semblance of normal.

rolled 38 = 38

>>14109102
Aye aye, captain.

rolled 73 = 73

>>14109102
ROLLAN

>>14109118
wait.. is higher the better? or lower?

>>14109116
well, i dont' see why not... i mean, we're just questing, not doing anything too /b/ like

>>14109118
Success! You climb the terrifyingly high wall, eventually making your way to a parapet overloocking the courtyard.

>>14109188
look for an entrance on the parapet, try and get inside and away from the lightning.

And this is where we pause for the night. I've got to get some sleep, so I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Any questions?

>>14109202
what time tmr? give a ballpark. just want to be around for the epicness

>>14109208
Likely around 8-9 central time

>>14109228
yup, see you later :D. back to hw for me. night all
