@Blackraven ive never played legit multi either. It's hard to organize with a bunch of people all over the world who don't actually know each other. But I've always wanted to.
@Blackraven - here's a non-Garrick portrait for me, if you're still interested in including me, (I may have to upload a better one from my computer), courtesy of @Isandir and his amazing work in making my face palatable:[Spoiler][/Spoiler] I love your notion of incorporating forum members. Edit: Replaced and spoilered image.
@Winters: Well I'm up for it. BGEE unmodded. Doesn't have to be this party. We could also do a duo run with or without NPCs. Maybe same classes with better stats? Also, I think I'd be a gnome cleri/thief so I don't have to shadowkeeper my character.

Cool! Awesome eyes btw.
Yeah, he's an incredibly, undeniably talented artist.

And I thought my black eyes were disturbing, I clearly had no idea anyone could have such long eyelashes - honestly, though, I think the hair brushes are a touch too harsh - it looks like the eyebrows are a sticky mess of unrefined petrol and the head hairs were attached surgically with a needle.
The image is also terribly overexposed - I believe my mother could do a better job (she's a photography major), but then, I'm not exactly on any remotely friendly terms with her (or with anyone from my family, for that matter).
I could also make a critical judgement based on your features, but then you'd likely feel offended (as every neurotypical does), suffice it to say that you are, er... handsome, even though you have terrible razor burns, a receding hairline and deep-set eyes. I wonder many things about this person, though I shall reserve myself from asking them.
'An autistic mind is a terrible thing to behold', indeed.
Yeah, he's an incredibly, undeniably talented artist.
I disagree, as the son of a photographer/graphical artist, I can safely say that is not such a good job, for the reasons I described earlier as well as a multitude of others that would certainly demean their work even more than I already did, and as you know, I don't want to antagonize anyone else further.
And it is for this kind of comments that my 6 Charisma become evident. I lack any tact whatsoever, honestly though, such virtue is largely unnecessary when it comes to teaching the deaf or researching Jane Austen.
Unsure whether to go thief and dual to mage, or admit half-elven heritage and go multi mage/cleric. Ah, screw it... in second, I'm still a decent bard... probably a jester, to explain why the Cha is only perceived as a 14, as I occasionally rub folks the wrong way, but usually only because that's the goal.
Er... I fail to comprehend where I fell out of line with the site rules? Care to enlighten me so I can straighten this out?
Elaboration: PG-13: My post obviously contained neither porn nor gore, moving on.
Flaming: I am not flaming, my own statements are clearly observations and reflections made by my critical mind, I bear no ill will nor rancor towards @jackjack , nor were my statements borne from any emotional lapse, given that I am still under the effect of Ritalin, which makes me thoroughly unemotional and robotic.
Trolling: I am not trolling. My own statements bear no provocative content or intent, being completely based on my observations based on the images that flash through my brain whose functions are too alien for a neurotypical to comprehend.
Excellence: I believe I am being excellent with everyone on this thread, barring my own alien humor, which is obviously absent from my previous post. I truly am shocked at how anyone could interpret it in a different manner than I did, but truly, I was merely being a candid friend, spouting critical reflexions in a friendly and moderate matter.
In closing, I still fail to comprehend what I did wrong, from my own observations, I have broken none of the forum's rules with my whimsical behavior - truly, I might have been a bit disagreeable there, but that doesn't mean I was breaking the rules just because you interpreted it that way.
@loub, perhaps... I posted rashly. I did not accuse you of breaking any rules, I simply reminded you of their existence. I suppose you said it yourself; you could have put it a little more eloquently. I look back at you post now, and it seems some of the more inflammatory statements I remember are.... Mysteriously missing. And there is an edit around the time of my post. Regardless, I shall consider the issue closed, at least for my purposes. I do not wish to cause a flame war of derail the thread.

I only removed my 4-word synthesis on what I thought of jackjack, honestly that statement added nothing to the post, as well as being able to be misinterpreted a thousand different ways.
On topic, I came a crossed this today. I found it quite interesting, especially around intelligence. http://www.easydamus.com/hallofheroesstats.html Here chaotic good is 5%. But in the alignment polls around here chaotic good usually ends up most popular. Hmmm...
What have I done to incite in you amusement? Can you elaborate?
Edit: on the topic of the weird surgically implanted hair on @jackjack 's head, I believe I have found the reason for it, and it's not artistic inability as I first imagined; I personally don't know if this will offend him or violate his privacy, but here's my theory: by looking at the patterns and comparing them to pictures in plastic surgeons' websites, as well as some questions on other forums, I've concluded such weird hair follicle patterns stem from an extensive hair transplant. There, I have said it, don't know if it's true or not, doubt he'll confirm it, but it's just what I've found, I might be wrong, but my intution and gut feelings rarely fail me. I might lack social graces, but my mind is leagues ahead of that of the average neurotypical, both in perception and processing.
Sigh… No, I have not had hair transplants, if that is what you are asking. My hair grows straight forward, and I shaved my head for years while I was in the military. That's just what it looks like these days. Swing and a miss. And I'll thank you not to disparage Isandir's work - plenty of people disagree with you on the subject of his talent. Sorry for derailment. Edit: RE: razor burn, deep set eyes, & receding hairline - you're right on all counts, I'm afraid. I've been rocking that triumvirate for 20-some years now.
Hey @Elrandir, no nothing yet... Not sure if it's going to happen. I've got a multiplayer game going with @Winters (who posted in this thread) and others, plus two single player games (Gylliane the Mage/Swashbuckler, Ocker the Skald and Lenno teh Swashbuckler). I also keep coming up with other stuff. What about your Red Dragon Disciple? Saw the discussion, I wouldn't worry too much about being insufficiently powerful without Shapechange and one or two more spells. Your charname will still be one of the most powerful casters to walk the realms.
Haha Nope. Not yet. I plan to get back to the other three eventually, I really do. He is but one of the many ideas I have that I'd like to play eventually. And thanks to the forums, I can learn and store info and ideas about him!

Haha, so many people have too many ideas for interesting playthroughs. You and I are no exceptions
Lvl 3 Rogue (not thief); Neutral Good with TN tendencies - I try to do the right thing but sometimes I just don't want to get involved
10 Str - Average for my age, maybe even a 9 9 Dex - Not very agile at all (would be a terrible BG thief haha) 10 Con - Again average maybe even a 9. About 6'1 and 98kgs 12 int - Not a genius but can pick things up reasonable fast 14 wis - Now I think this is my strong point. I have a good bull shit radar and I like to think I have good common sense. 8 cha - Average looks but i'm just not a people person in large crowds. I just like to do my own thing. Introvert.
Now my thief points would mainly go into Hide and DI. I'm very unassuming and often can go unnoticed right in front of people and that works for me. DI because I can be pretty stubborn and can see through people and their bs.
Weapon prof would be: Dagger + Single Weapon + No real training and would help the unassuming aspects.
Combat tactics would be to avoid it or to get the first shot unnoticed and try to disable them to secure an escape.
Alignment: Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.
Race: Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Class: Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.
