Yes the characters all came to meet with Bakilas knowing that they are going to commit a robbery.

strength-18
dex-16
con-15
wis-15
int-10
cha-15
Roden has always been trained by his dad how to fight with a very large variaty of weapons, and how/when to use armor and shields.
However his mom focused on stealth. When Roden was near 12 his family died in battle forcing him to bounty for money to live on. Soon when a general saw him fighting with a very large and original sword was recruted
Due to the General's death and a change of the army he belonged to's alignment he quit, however
his many battles have given him expieriance with different weaponry. His skills with the sword, axe, and sheild give him an advantage over many enemies, but he favors the sword, and can weild even the largest of swords with great skill.
Wears silver body/leg armor with a slot on the back to fit his large sword (4'6" long, 1' wide, I'm not trying to copy Cloud.), and has short black hair.

OK, so..
The race is half-elf, there's no race known as barbarian. The ranger is a class, and at fifth level you get some spellcasting powers. Also, when wearing light armor you may freely use two weapons with next to no penalty. You have to have an alignment, but I guess none constitutes as True Neutral. Your strenght score is by 1 points above max(19 for a 5th level half-elf), dex means dexterity, which affects Armor Class(dodging, the heavier armor you wear the lower dex bonus to dodging)) and archery, as well as some thieving. Con is for constitution, hwich affects resistance to poisons, diseases and bonus health. Wis is wisdom, prime casting statistic for a ranger, and also gives bonus to mindcontrolling effects and illusions and such. Int is intelligence which is usefull if you want a wide variety of thief skills and knowledge(does not apply to weapon proficiencies). Cha is for Charisma, personal magnetism and usefull in conversations.
IMHO your character has far too many points(7), and altho he is probably ugly as death that hardly makes up for the rest of his abilities. You just need some balancing.
P.S.
What is 'dexplarity'?

[Keal]

dexterity, my friend pronounced it wrong. I think we should have been given some background to this. How'd ya figure he's ugly? I just based this on what I know from Champions of Norath, or something like that, and then I saw the half elf stuff.

Bozo's is right your character is a bit overpowered and D&D is different from Champions of Norath. And Bozo's and myself figure your guy is dead right hideous because his Charisma is zero. Not only would your guy be able to persuade or lie to someone they he would be a chick anti magnet.

Look at everyone elses stats and see how they balance the attributes.

[Jaradu]

With a charisma of zero he'd be dead [img]tongue.gif[/img]

BTW, a half-elf has the Charisma minimum of 3. [img]smile.gif[/img] And even that is enough to dispell even the most caring of souls. As Troika games once said: "You're ugly. There's no better word to describe it. Unless you consider hideous a better word. Children flee from you in terror and paladins and holymen attack you on sight, believing you to be a demon or other hellspawn."
OK, this is the deal, do you have a d6? A normal dice with which you gamble, play Risk, Monopoly or whatever board game you think of. Throw it once, and write down the score. Do it three more times. Let's say the results are 4, 5, 2 and 3. Eliminate the weakest roll, in this case the 2 and sum up the rest. A twelve. Assign this to something you think you won't be using that much but you don't want without, like Intelligence. Do this for every stat and then shift up or down a few points, nothing big. First make yourself a clear picture of a character and then build upon it. Do you want him to be an immobile fortress who can take hammerstrikes upon hammerstrikes in the head and feel nothing, or would you like to be fast, agile and avoiding with precise and deadly blades. Do you want to stand proud above a defeated enemy with a greatsword in your hands or would you rather simply drop one and seek another? The last edit was a step in the right direction, you're almost there. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Sythe]

Name: Androw Crowe
Race: Half-elf
Class: Fighter/Mage

Stats

STR:14
DEX:16
CON:12
WIS:13
INT:16
CHA:13

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Backround: Androw's father was a mage and therfore was tutored on manipulation of magic. His father was killed by a sellsword and when the mercenary came for Androw he somewhere felt pity and taught him how to use weapons. Later Androw killed the man and became another blade for hire in the streets. A dangerous man who is proficient in longswords and daggers. And is also adept in magic and uses it to enhance his fighting ability (such as Haste, Mage Armor). He wears dark studded leather and wears a belt with many small pockets which hold his spell componets.

Edit: Balanced the stats more. I thought my char was a bit overpowered.

Ok just looking at the character list so far we have:

Bakilas Lamort - Half-elf Thief/Mage
Mithvil Dunrath - Gnome Cleric
Ulest - Human Bard
Androw Crowe - Half-elf Fighter/Mage

Keal: Your character is going to need some serious tweaking before he can be included...

Edit: Sythe, remember to disable your sig in this thread.
Second Edit: Ok its not just Sythe, everyone remember to disable their sig [img]tongue.gif[/img]
