[Dron_Cah]

I thought I should add my character to the list:

Bilbo The Baggins (liable to change)

(pic of Bilbo himself)

Human
Monk
Lawful Good

Str: 16
Dex: 18
Con: 16
Int: 12
Wis: 12
Cha: 14 (he's so darn cute! being Bilbo, and all.)

Move Silently: 20
Find Traps: 70
Hide in Shadows: 15

Weapon Prf.

Long sword: *
Dart: *
Single weapon Style: *

I thought everyone would get a kick out him! Anyways, I tried to make as realistic stats as I could for a well trained monk, though his Cha is a bit higher than usual, (for the joke mostly), its still acceptable.

Are we still on?

Here I tried to find out the time zones for all of us:

waverider - Belgium GMT + 01
Aliyah L'bliss - England GMT + 0
Dron_Cah - Kentucky is at GMT -06 or -07
RoSs_bg2_rox - Scotland GMT + 0
Raistlin Majere - he is from another plane [img]smile.gif[/img]
me - Bulgaria GMT +02

Waverider must say the time when we play.
My times are Monday to Friday after 18 pm my time zone and Sunday - whole day.

By the way what if s.o. can not connect by some reason ? ISP down forexamle, electricity off , etc .

I suggest Waverider to make some temporal game (just to synchronize our games versions, patches, etc.) and each one of us to make attempt to connect. Any version conflicts or minor incompatibilities can be resolved by this way. And when the game begins we'll have not ot worry about why s.o. can not connect. Also I suggest the details can be specified through icq or PMs if you prefer.

its 13. over here i will be online on MSN if people want to add me.. or
post on forum i will be online all day long so evry one who want to play

meet at forum or msn @ 17.00 my time [img]smile.gif[/img] or if we have 6 duudes sooner we start faster, remeber this is just a test run if the lag or something is to big we could search another host then, we dont play TOB ive downloaded latest patch from FAQ you will have to down it to, we will have to talk in the game and i will pause before a fight so all can select spells ... and continue when all is ready

if there 6duudes willing to play with tob then am fine with that, but if one doesnt have tob, we play without ( i regrat that to )

btw : you have all given a number right ? if the first 6 all have tob we play with tob

example : 7 has tob and 6 doesnt!! then we play without ...

[waverider]

an other thing, i would like if all have there premade char ready?

our team should at least have

thief , fighter , mage ?

at least thats what i think of it

we share weapons so fighter gets best armor what you dont need,
you pass to the one under you ( in the char list )
if the last one witch should be mage or a weaker class doesnt need it,
you pass it back to first if it is a special weapon so we can sell it later on!

btw : for buying stuff, cant queit remeber how it went does all buy seperated or one buys for all?

[Merlin from Amber]

How we'll proceed with the fights ? We will create tactic before the fight or we'll fight according to the situation ?

What about the walking around ? While one is going to the armorer - another would like to go to the spell merchant ?

What about the rest and the pausing of the game ? If I will go to face enemy alone (I doubt we'll go all to face the beholders forexample) I will need the pauses.

What if s.o. is with the boots of speed ?

What about autopause on spellcast especially when fighting power mages ?

There are encounters that do not need spellcasting - should I cast always or only when needed. Group of goblins forexample will not need my casting, but from other point of view I can remove them quite fast with a single spell.
I suppoese this will be decided by the leader. I expect the rules.

All quests will be done or just the main plot ?

wel : After a big and hard battle we save ( before to ),
and we will pause at evry battle no matter how small it is
but if they are goblins i suppose we could just rush in but
we will see will paused what we do!

Originally posted by Merlin from Amber: What about the walking around ? While one is going to the armorer - another would like to go to the spell merchant ?

That you could do but you have to say what you need to the other,
and before all goes running around we should met some were when evry one has what he needs, also i would like the 'leader' ( first in char list ) to carrie a bag and a scroll bag he will pick up jewels and such, when we enter slums i would like to buy those glasses with can id. 3times a day, and if we buy wed try not to over do it dong buy stuff you dont need if you think another needs it!

I would like to stay in ground if this is possible, but for exp it doesnt matter mutch because the team grows togheter right? , if thats so i dont see a reason why you should fight alone , but if you wish to do that anny ways then you can say to pause or at least let us know your going away from group ,
when you want to pause , i believe i can give you that ability to pause and unpause if i remeber well, ill put it on for mages,thiefs and if fighter need it then they will have to ask me..
if i see when some one is about to die ill pause. ( if i overlook it and you have seen it pause then )

Well hell just have to wait for the rest of group or he could scout ahead and get himself killed, then i suppose we can raise him and he can get himself killed again [img]smile.gif[/img]

i can put that on if you wish

for goblin and small i use my arrows or slingshot and fighter go fight the goblins with there sword, but you could cast a defense spell on you if you wish
but we can always rest ...

Originally posted by Merlin from Amber: All quests will be done or just the main plot ?

Not ALL but i would like to do as many as possible

btw : what class should i play because what i play is also the
stronghold you get i normaly plat mage/cledric then you get sfere
and normaly and dont do the sphere qeust very fast ...
am willing to be warrior mage for a change then we have nalias keep...

if am a female mage : http://www.vaulscastle.com/games/bg/zips/polgara.zip

that will be my pic [img]smile.gif[/img] i liked that book [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Merlin from Amber]

Agreed.

As far as I know the sphere is for the child of Bhall (the leader character of the game - you, in our case)

By the way a cleric will be very useful.

I'm best with sorcerer, but I may play inquisitor or sorcerer or druid - you decide.

About the beholders example - I meant that if we all six fight with them there will be a lot of protections and preparation and we'll need freedom scrolls if there are elder orbs. I don't want to play alone. Just there are a lot of cases in what seorcerer can save time and trouble if we decide of course - we are team.
