This thread is dedicated to discussing out of character (OOC) topics, concerns, questions, feedback and so forth.
Welcome to Lost Souls Octhania. Please post here first to confirm you've been granted access to the sub-forum and to let everyone know who you are.
You can roll up your character here, using the dice command like so:
FZK5vT411-61-61-61-6 In this case, you'd drop one of the '1's' since it is the lowest score, and you'd be left with 10. Just do this for all six ability scores.
If you need help at all, if you've forgotten the rules or you're completely new to 2E AD&D, feel free to ask. I don't mind at all. 1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6

So that's 14, 11, 11, 13, 9, and 11. That's not too bad. And keep in mind you get a +1 and -1 to whichever ability scores you want, regardless of race. So wherever you put that 14, you can bump it up to 15, if you like.

Yes, I added Breila to the group a few hours ago.
I haven't heard from anyone else yet, though.

Hello, this is Breila. I need to figure out how the dice thing works...

dYicQmWZ1-61-61-61-6 1-61-61-61-6 1-61-61-61-6 1-61-61-61-6 1-61-61-61-6 1-61-61-61-6
Let's see what this makes... 1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6·1-6

Wow, that was lucky: 9,15,13,17,12,7... I will take them without modification. Since I want to play a storm sorcerer, I distribute the stats as follows:
Strength: 7 Dexterity: 15 Constitution: 9 Intelligence: 17 Wisdom: 12 Charisma: 13
40 000 XP puts the character to level 6, so for hit dice, I get 3GkJacFs1-41-41-41-41-41-4
Can I choose the spells, or do I have to roll?
1-4·1-4·1-4·1-4·1-4·1-4

Without modification? Just so I understand you, you're saying you don't want the +1/-1 adjustment?
You get maximum HP for first level, so that first one should be a 4. So that's 14 HP.
For spells, let's do this: You get one free spell for each spell level (so one 1st level spell, one 2nd level spell and one 3rd level spell). You don't have to roll or anything, just name the spells and they are yours. (If you are going to be a specialist, you can have two free spells per level, but one of each must be from your chosen school).
Any other spell you want you'll need to roll to learn. With an INT of 17, your chance is 75%. If you pass, you get the spell. If you fail, you can try again but only if you pay for it. It costs 100 GP for each spell level to try again (so 100 GP to try again for a 1st level spell, 200 GP for a second level spell and 300 GP for a third level spell). If you fail a second time, you can try again, if you pay. But if you fail three times in a row, you're just out of luck.
The only limit to how many spells you can start with is your character's INT score. At INT 17, you can have up to 14 spells per spell level. I would suggest you leave some blank slots, though, in case you come across any scrolls or spellbooks in the game.

Yes, I don't want the +1/-1 adjustment. I see no exchange that would benefit my character as I see her. She'd bee a female elf storm sorcerer. Alignment will be NG, as I'm not good at playing anything else.
So, according to the Lost Souls handbook, as a storm sorcerer, I get Read Magic, Detect Magic, and 6 spells of my choice to start with. Feather Fall and Mending are very useful on a ship, so I choose those. Sleep and Shield are good protective spells, and I'll take Color Spray and Magic Missile for attacks. That makes 8 of the 14 1st level spells. I roll for Cantrip ZX0regoT1-100, Burning Hands 1-100, Charm Person 1-100, Spider Climb 1-100 and leave the last 2 slots open. For second-level spells, I'd like to have Continual Light and roll for Web 1-100, Invisibility 1-100, Detect Invisibility 1-100 and Bind 1-100 As third-level spell, I'd like to have Hold Person, and roll for Lightning Bolt 1-100 and Dispel Magic 1-100. 1-100·1-100·1-100·1-100·1-100·1-100·1-100·1-100·1-100·1-100

Okay. You pass for Charm Person, Spider Climb, Web, Invisibility, Detect Invisibility, Bind, Lightning Bolt and Dispel Magic.
You fail on Burning Hands and Cantrip. So you can pay 100 GP to try again on either one. (Although note that Cantrip is a proficiency in my games, so taking it as a spell is unnecessary.)

Well, Nice toon. I am waiting to see what else develops, I have lots on average options. Hopefully we will get some additional participation here.

Well, BishGada has disappeared from the internet entirely. Hopefully he shows up again soon.
Chris and Spyguy...I don't know. They both said they were on board, and then just went silent. Maybe they'll turn up later. In the meantime, I'm still working on the setting so there's no big rush.
