@Battalia & Chris Answer these questions as you have time, preferably before the next game session in 1 week. 3 questions about new Players 1. Read this thread's questions & Post about your availability, times to play. It's also nice to hear each person write that you will do your best to post a head's up if you find out you'll need to miss sessions. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1528148/player-s" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1528148/player-s</a>... 2. Status? What's lacking on your character sheet? Questions for the DM? Post here, <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1528150/player-s" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1528150/player-s</a>... 3. What's your opinion / background with classic published AD&D adventure modules? <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1573661/player-s" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1573661/player-s</a>... + 4 Questions about your PC 1. Fill out a short Player-Character survey here. You are asked to tell a little about yourself as a person and a Player, as well as identifying which Character is yours with a basic summary of your character (Class, Race, Kit, Gender, what you look like or what drives you). <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1528138/pc-q-and" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1528138/pc-q-and</a>... 2. Post your Class in this next thread. It's not just the name of your class. You should open the digital rules on Purpleworm or your PDF, and copy some of the basic sentences about your class. Include the abilities, but also highlight the "fluff text" like any descriptive text that concisely explains what your class is supposed to be. What kind of role is your class made for? Read the questions in the thread and answer using copy-paste and editing. Battalia -- post here about Rogue in general (1 paragraph) and about Ninjas in particular (probably several paragraphs). Chris -- post here about Conjurer as a specialist mage. Post anything you can find that describes Conjurer and the school of Conjuration-Summoning. Be sure to include 1-2 paragraphs about Specialist Mage mentioning what advantages and disadvantages it gives you, such as mention your opposition school of being unable to learn Invocation/Evocation spells. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1554037/pc-qanda" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1554037/pc-qanda</a>... 3. Post your Race/Species in this next thread. Copy-paste from good valid old-school sources that we agreed & discussed. Please edit-out and EXCLUDE any sentences that the DM said are "out". Include any sentences that are useful or interesting for our game. If you have questions about racial abilities, this is the place to ask & document, clarify & dialog with the DM so that we can make all these funny alternative races work well in the game. Battalia -- post anything you think is "IN" regarding Rakasta. Edit out anything that seems wrong or 3E/4E-ish. Copy the basic description sentences from that blog you found, or from D&D Creature Catalog book. Chris -- post the good parts of the Bullywug text from Complete Book Of Humanoids here, if you can copy text from the PDF of it. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1554042/pc-qanda" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1554042/pc-qanda</a>... 4. List your character's Nonweapon Proficiencies here. Read the thread questions & respond as indicated. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1573726/pc-q-and" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1573726/pc-q-and</a>... * * * Thanks very much! I look forward to your responses, and I appreciate the effort that you put into this. All Players -- be sure to pay attention to the other players' postings. It is good to envision your fellow party members, and start to understand their unique abilities.

@Battalia per this Rakasta reference page, (which is a good page except for the Tiger parts and the 4E parts), <a href="http://www.halfblogre.com/2011/06/pc-race-rakasta/" rel="nofollow">http://www.halfblogre.com/2011/06/pc-race-rakasta/</a> Let's be sure to track down a PDF of that Dragon Magazine #247 . That should still be in the 2E era (Dragon switched to 3E around #274). It sounds like it might be a good article reference on Rakasta as a race/species for this. The blog reference says that the Dragon article has 18 sub-species of Rakasta. We may be able to identify a black-cat one that makes sense. Also looking for Dragon Magazine #181 , also has Rakasta (as a Basic D&D class) according to references I found so far EDIT: Rakasta info Here we go, <a href="http://www.pandius.com/rakhevol.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pandius.com/rakhevol.html</a> It's much too long, so look for the good parts that apply to Jade & find the essentials / generalities / abilities that you want to keep IN our game.
