we were as a party before? well, that does change some things.

also to note: my character is a wondrous item crafter, and if the DM doesn't object, I can craft any item you guys need with spells from the cleric/oracle list, provided the enhancement doesn't require more than 2 spells at a time (which is really rare).

What cost would you be charging us? For the sake of sanity, I assume you'd be charging us the cost to create for anything that's pregame.

50%.
I can actually craft cheaper than that, but we can put that extra amount towards "You didn't always know me, and I wasn't always crafting, so you probably bought some of that stuff" fund.

I'm going to suggest we get an Orb of Mental Renewal and Rod of Bodily Restoration from Magic Item Compendium so we aren't overloading Dai and Dave with "Halp, I took ability damage, need restoration" requests. Each is 3100GP, and Dai can craft the Orb.

EDIT: Total cost would be 930GP per person.

EDIT OF EDIT: Cost is now 1033.33 GP since Dai spent all his money on drugs and other illegal stuff (but is willing to craft the orb at 1/3 cost).

EDIT: Okay, now 826.66 GP per person. Apparently Dai didn't buy as much drugs as we thought he did.

posted my skills. Not outrageous but the knowledge's are going to be background / character based so I don't think I'm going to change them. Also, it seems that we have interactions covered by many of us (damn we're a high charisma party)

Also: it seems like a lot of us have UMD. I realize it's a sweet spell but damn! Start littering your world with scrolls and wands Drew!

Dai: If we can cast the spell from a scroll or something could you craft the item for us? Namely I want an Amulet of Mighty Fists that requires a casting of Greater Magic Fang, which is on my spell list. If I bought a scroll and cast it for you, could you craft the item for 1/2 cost? This would make the final cost to me equal to 1/2 item cost + full cost of scroll.

Squall: I'm pretty sure crafting doesn't work that way. Mimicking spells using a scroll sounds reasonable but is probably something GM has to decide on since rules are blurry over it, but even then, I'm the one who has to mimick the spell, not someone else, not lest they can cooperative crafting ability.

Also, I've put a lot of things aside for several days for a Google-interview trip. So expect my character finishings to get delayed. When's stat-final due anyhow? (since we really don't have the information to build a proper background yet =\)

So, as to the nature of the party working together:

The story assumes that prior to heading towards Barovia, your characters completed at least one prior mission together. Based off of my conversations with Ryan, his character was otherwise occupied during the Plaguemarch, so its unlikely you all worked together back then. What's most likely is that you all to came together in the years following the war. Perhaps you all were assigned together by chance for a mission to clear a necro-arsenal and you decided to keep working together? Think it over, as I'm pushing back the deadline.

New deadline is:

Clarification:
That date is when the first posts in character posts are going to begin, not when your character is "due". Given that this is going to be a play by post game, it'll take us a while to get to much that requires a dice roll. But, but the time we get there, its suggested you have the stats necessary to make that roll.

So what are people thinking for how we met? Just going with what Drew suggested? I haven't really started on fluff, so I'm okay with more or less anything.
