Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alrighty there, thus far I have only heard interest from Dark Embrace as to wanting to be involved in a game, but I'm looking to start one. It would be my first game DMed online, and ought to be a good experiance for all, if I do my job right. We're not formal here (not yet at least stare ) so feel free to jump on in. Here's the basics:

-This first game will be from the Dungeons and Dragons basic game (not the latest one, but the one beforehand). If you have this game, I would ask you to please not metagame. I won't ask you to walk into what you know is a trap without checking first, but please don't have your charecter walk the wall because you know what's in a room.

-All dice rolls should be made with an online dice roller, if you need to find one or figure out how it works, tell me and I will provide you with one.

-For those who know how, you can make a charecter using a 28-point buy, or you may use the floating re-roll method (roll 4d6 six times, disregarding the lowest number; you may re-roll the lowest die once during this entire process)

-The following books are allowed, as I have them. Others may be allowed on a case-to-case basic (in other words, ask me, and I'll see what I can do). Players Handbook 3.5, Monster Manual 3.5, Dungeon Masters Guide 3.5, Draconomicon, Races of the Dragon, Dragon Magic, Complete Mage. I may also some allow material from Savage Species or Tome and Blood despite the fact that they are 3.0 sourcebooks.

-Roleplaying is encouraged, but not required.

-Gameplay will follow a Play-by-Post basis. What this means is that you should post when you can, but there will be no scheduled gameplay everyday, so you do not have to worry about missing a "session." Just whenever you have time during the day go on and post a reply. As Sir Sephra stated, 2-3 times a week is a usual precident. If you are going on vacation or for some other reason, that is fine, although it would be nice if you post this information so the others (hopefully there will be others) can accomidate.

Actually don't take note of it. There never was a wand. NEVER!

More about Rettu :

When Rettu was just a boy, he was not known by the confrontational name he wears today. He does not go by his old name now. In his village, a cult worshipping Nerull; God of Death, appeared. The mayor of that village was but a spoiled son, who had come inot power because of the untimely death of his father. He allowed the cult to take root, in return for large taxes taken from the donations. But soon, the cult grew into a temple, and drew more and more followers of evil. One day, chaos simply broke loose. As the cult turned its fury on all in the village, Rettu watched his family butchered by goblins. Rettu wandered into the forest and was found by an elderly ranger. The ranger tended his wounds and Rettu told him his story. After He was sufficiently healed, the ranger made to go to his own devices, but Rettu followed, demanding that the ranger show him the ways of battle. After a time, the ranger relented, and until the day that ranger died, he taught him all he knew. At his 110th birthday, Rettu wandered back into town and saw once again the destruction. he picked his way through the rubble, and found the old ruins of the temple of Nerull. Inside a glowing dark presence promised him, if he proved himself a greater champion of evil than the high priest that ordered the destruction of his town, that he should be given great power and glory. Rettu told the glowing presence to stick it up its arse, and attempted to join the order of Olidammara just to spite it. After hearing his reason for attempting to join the order, the high priest of Olidammara laughed and let him join.

Rettu fights with a bow, reasoning that the farther away the enemy, the better.

(Hete challenges Rettu because he stole his wallet)
DM: Hete the Paladin challenges you to a duel, saying "I will vanquish you evildoer! Hete is 60ft away.
Rettu: I shoot him in the eye!
DM: ... *dice roll*... Critical hit... Have you no honour?
Rettu: Nope, but now I've got a shiny Paladin sword!

Rettu also has quite a collection of shiny paladin swords.

Rettu is prone to minor acts of charity, for example, he will always give a coin to a beggar in the street, He is a realist, but has a good sense of humour. For Example:

DM: (After entering the temple of knowledges final chamber) You see a wizened old monk. He says "If you desire knowledge from this temple, you must first give up some knowledge of your own.
Rettu: Him who eat many prunes, sit on privy, many moons.
DM: The old man boots you up the arse.

Rettu has defined the word "b*****d" as someone who tells people what he thinks, no matter what they think, and only insults people when it is deserved. For example:

DM: The high priest of Wee Jas appears in a glorious wreath of black fire
Rettu: What a stupid hat.
DM: Due to your unprecedented reaction, the priest fails his concentration check and the gate spell he was using backfired, taking him into another plane.
Rettu: Hey! He left behind his hat! Score!

Rettu is an incorrigible flirt, often prone to acts of perversity, despite his average charisma level. For example

DM: You see a beautiful female drow, dressed in a battlemages clothes.
Rettu: I feel her up!
DM: ... That's got to provoke an attack of opportunity.
Rettu: Nope, I've got improved perverts strike!
DM: I hate you.

DM: You see a ninja drop down from a rooftop.
Rettu: Is it a female ninja?
DM: ... I'm not allowed to tell you.
Rettu: I walk over to the ninja and say; "Hey gorgeous"
DM: The ninja slaps you upside the head.
Rettu: Definitely female.

(female) Guard: I arrest you in the name of the law.
Rettu: Are you a parking ticket? You've got fine written all over you.
Guard: ... I wonder if I kill you, if I'll get an aquital.
Rettu: Only if it's a female judge.
Guard: For honour! *charges*
Rettu: For my libido! *retreats*

A monk of chance, has described Rettu's chance of getting laid at about 1: 1,367,300. However, Rettu hits on about 1,258,392,234 women a month, so he does have some children he plans to spend his old age with. And so that leads to this.

3000 years later

Vera looked outside of her spaceship, where something strange was happening on the wing. She looked at her friend and co-pilot, Rine.
Vera put her head on her hands.
Vera: Is he still dancing?
Rine: Yes. From what I can see, it's a cmpletely perfect copy of the line dance made 1500 years ago, called "the hustle". In a space-suit.
Rettu VIIIL: Do the hustle!
Vera: ... Give me that remote control.
Rine: What is it?
Vera: It electrifies the hull
Rine: ... Is that nesscasary?
Vera: Yes. He's been hitting on me for two years.

20 minutes later

Rettu emerges from the airlock into his own ship, smoking, with his hair on end. Sparks occasionally jump from him.
Rettu VIIIL: Hooray!
Tull VIIL: Hooray? You got your a** sizzled!
Rettu VIIIL: Didn't you see? She used one megavolt less than normal!
Tull VIIL: ...

Maybe one day, he'll get her. Maybe one day. Probably not though.
Rettu has all his posessions carried by his pack mule (Whom he calls Alice), excepting his armour, weapons, arrows and 1 torch.

Well, I generated this character on an online D&D character generator, and pretty much just pasted it in, so I'll correct the flaws you mentioned. Also, I would very much like to keep the wand, as the purpose you mentioned was its original one, but I must have neglected to put it in background. I am using PH1 V 3.5. Also, I did put favoured enemy: Goblins. I was sure that it was there sweatdrop I'll go through it again.


Edit:Also, I checked and I did remove the skills which I had no training in and could not be used untrained.

alright then, then I'll change it. If a skill is not listed there then it means it has a 0 modifier then.
