USH'S LORD OF THE RINGS GAME- Character Creation Thread

Heh... just a couple of notes before I go over that, Rusky.

It seems to have escaped the rules, and I cannot alter that post any more (too large... grr...) but Dunadain should only have three background points.

Also, no mithril items at this point, please. +5 chain is fine- it adds to the Manoeuvre whilst wearing it. Mithril is rathe more spectacular than that.

Rusky something is wrong with this:

One-handed edged weapons- 10 + 3(prof) + 20(strength) + 5 (lightning reflexes) + 30 ( 5 points + 1 point from 2 subt points) = 68

care to explain that +30??? (if you mean you spent all your weapon skillpoints +5+1 on it, you can't cause the max you can add at one skill per lvl is 3 points which gives a +10 -also 6 skillpoints only gets a +20-)

so add those 3 points somewhere else

Trickster, if you want an emergency back-up, I recommend Thrown.

ooops...yess...right Fire..my mistake
Oh... only 3 ? that' kinda little..hmm
Ush.. are there shields in the game ? I mean if i go for two handed weapons would I lose anything ?

you would lose your +10 base you have on one-handed weapons

Oh...and if I'm Eotheod can I ride my horse in battle always ? 😄

if you have it you can, but weren't you dunedain?

well yes fire... if i stick with being a dunadain...i'm thinking of changing that...i'll post a new chart as soon as I make my mind up though...

okie, why you changing all of a sudden mate?

I just realised i need another background thing too. How much are horses? And which is better, a special bow, or 50gp?

I told you a special bow is gonna be worth more than 50 gp
then again with 50 gp you can buy whatever you want

Yes, there are shields. Well, get back to me when you have chosen, Rusky...

Horses are relatively cheap, which is to say, Gold is worth a lot. The most expensive starting horse you can start with costs 20 gp. Actually, I think Fire is likely owed a background point there.

Skills :
Unarmoured- 5 + 5(agility) + 10 (nimble) = 20
Rigid Leather- 5 + 5(agility) + 10 (nimble) = 20
Chain- 10 + 20(strength) + 10 (nimble) + 10 (3 manov points spent) - 45(enc) = 5 (btw, the base is now 20 so it's still below 35)
Plate - 20(strength) + 10 (nimble) = 30
One-handed edged weapons- 10 + 3(prof) + 20(strength) + 5 (lightning reflexes) + 10 ( 3 points) = 48
Two-Handed edged weapons - 20(strength) + 5(lightning ref) + 3(prof) + 10 (2points + 2points from subt) = 38
Thrown Weapons- 5 + 3(prof) + 5 (agility) + 5 (l.refl) = 18
Missile Weapons- 5 + 3(prof) + 5(agility) + 5 (l.refl) = 18
Pole-arms- 5 + 3(prof) + 20 (str) + 5(l.refl) = 33

Stamina- 27(pain res) + 5(special bonus) + 10(constitution) + 2(warrior) + 9(lvl 1) = 53

There, I think that's it... and the name... Andromir... how's that ? 🙂

that looks perfect, ush, thx.
well..all done, i guess

rusky you can't add +5 to your profession stat
so that last +5 on str has to go

OMG.... this HAS to be right... 🙄
