Victory For Dom!
Aug. 14th, 2007 11:21 pmSo I successfully upgraded the PSU and graphics card on my computer, and it still works (I'm posting from it for example). Also upgrading my graphics card has made the games very pretty *grin*. It wasn't long ago I tried this whole upgrading business for the first time with a DVD player, why in future do I see my assembling my next machine. Clearly my geek level is increasing.
And something I've been significantly less successful at, trying to work out a character to play in this upcoming TL campaign. The campaign looks very good, it's just I'm failing to find anything that captures my imagination.
Actual character ideas, personalities, campaign specific goals, etc, are easy I've a few ideas floating about some of them more general that others. It's the actual statting that I fall down on at the moment. With me characters begin as a tactic I want to try, one that I think will be fun, and the characters grow around that.
Below the cut is how my existing characters have come about in case it's at all interesting or useful.
( Existing characters )
Here are the requirements this years character needs to satisfy:
1)Capable of going up, chasing down and dealing with a skirmishy![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
duke_of_krondor or swordkitten monster. Either by able to heal himself, out race them in damage or simply out survive them. My current characters either have the movement to skirmish, but not the fighting abilities to survive, or are too slowed by armour (or age).
2)No metal armour, preferably using hard leather and studded.
3)Not an elf, 3 is plenty.
4)Not a mage, 2 is plenty
5)No face paint.
6)Possibly capable of using a shield.
7)Some combination of 1H/2H Sword and Mace use.
8)I'm not sure I can be bothered to play a gladiator, though the twink in mean likes the gladiator for weapon skills then leave route.
9)No accents. I can't do them, so er no barbarians.
10)Has to work stat wise by Rank 8-10. I'm unlikely to take another character to high level, so a character that only does what I want him to by rank 20 is of no use.
So ideas/suggestions please.
