Create Yourself As A RPG Character!

Are you suggesting we post these?

 

Oh, you want us to create an RPG character with our name. I thought you wanted us to assign stats, skills, and feats that were appropriate to our real selves.

 

other people should make them for you

 

Thats a good idea Infiltrator, but the only people I think could get it right don't RP for me.

 

we should do exactly like the lit one. for the reasons listed there. if anyone wants to make a link...

 

Where have I seen this before?

 

Could you post the link?

 

One of my finer creations, I think...

The Genghis

 

Interesting Link.

 

Well I'm officially dead on these boards, so I guess I'll go for a spirit (actually this one is a DM representation of mine, I've used it to trick my PCs into performing tasks that further his own agenda and they're persuaded that he's a former Jedi Master with an awful lot of insight )

Lordban : Dark Side Spirit (former male human); Noble 2 / Jedi Consular 6 / Sith Lord 10; Init +1; Def 24 (+13 Class, +1 Dex) (immune to physical attacks); Spd 10m; VP/WP 117/21; Atk : Special; SQ Inspire Confidence +1, Sith Master; SV Fort Special, Ref +12, Will +17; FP 2; DSP 35; Rep 14;
Str 8, Dex 13, Con -, Int 14, Wis 17, Cha 21;

Feats : Dodge, Exotic Wpn Prof (Lightsaber), Force-Sensitive, Heroic Surge, Skill Emphasis - Diplomacy, Skill Emphasis - Sense Motive, Noble/Jedi Consular/Sith Lord proficiencies.

Force Feats : Alter, Burst of Speed, Control, Drain Force, Force Lightning, Force Mastery, Knight Defense(useless), Lightsaber Defense(useless), Master Defense(useless), Sense, Sith Sorcery

Skills : Appraise +7, Computer Use +7, Diplomacy +27, Entertain (Sing) +16, Hide +9, Intimidate +15, Knowledge (Sith Lore) +18, Knowledge (Jedi Lore) +8, Knowledge (Politics) +11, Knowledge (Tactics) +11, Listen +11, Read/Write Sith, Search +10, Sense Motive +25, Speak Sith, Spot +11

Force Skills : Affect Mind +13, Battlemind +6(useless), Drain Energy +5(useless), Empathy +6, Farseeing +8, Force Defense +6(useless), Fear +12, Force Grip +14, Friendship +11, Heal Self +5(useless), Illusion +11, Move Object +5, See Force +4, Telepathy +5.

A number of skills and feats have been rendered useless, they nonetheless exist and can't be replaced - I've used these to give the character more consistency ; the character has a high power level but I don't intend to have him fight any PCs (or anyone), I use the character as a plot device and with as much subtlety as I can conceive.

 

Congratulations, Wizards of the Coast, for winning the 2002 resdundancy award by allowing the creation of dual Jedi/Jedi classes.

Wouldn't something like Jedi Councilor/Sith Lord be a little like playing a Ranger/Fighter or Specialty Priest/Non-Specialty Priest or Magic User/Sorcerer?

 

Sith Lord is a Prestige Class, so it's not really like you're playing a Jedi/Jedi (that's actually forbidden).

A Wizard/Sorcerer, btw, isn't that stupid. The monk in my party long blessed me for my ability to cast Mage Armor 4 times a day ; that was a level that proved useful and still does now that I've made Bracers of Armor for the two of us, since I can still cast a nasty Charm Person 4/day that's DC 17(I'm now a Sorcerer 1/Conjurer 12 Lich - forbidden school is Evocation, and I've a focus in Enchantment).

 

Nice, character. Maybe I'll put one together for me.

 

This is one of my PCs. He is missing some of his special abilities and a few martial arts abilities.

An excellent question...

 

No Kidding. How long?

Hee hee hee... this looks like a fun thread.

If we follow the title of the thread Create Yourself as a RPG character , then we should actually follow it.... which means we've gotta com up with rules for creation ^_^

I've been thinkin 'bout this one for a few days, hence why I haven't posted anything back. Came up with a couple of criteria for level #s - some are practical, some are just stupid ^_^

Age:
If you are 16 or younger, begin with 1 level. If you are between 17 and 20, begin with 2 levels. 21 - 25, begin with 4 levels. 26-30, begin with 6. 31-35, begin with 8, and 40+ begin with 10 levels.

Education (not cumulative):
If you have graduated high school (or will this year), give yourself +1 level
If you have any college credits, give yourself +2 levels.
If you have graduated a 4 year public/private school, tech school, or trade school (I think that covers it all), give yourself +3 levels.
If you have a masters degree or Ph.D, give yourself +5 levels.

Travel (cumulative):
If you have left your country of origin, give yourself +1 level.
If you have left this country more than 5 times in your lifetime to go to multiple destinations (not repeated visits to the same place), give yourself +1 level.
If you own an airplane or private jet, give yourself +3 levels. ^_^

# of posts on TheForce.net:
less than 1000 posts = +1 level
1001 - 3000 posts = +2 levels
3001 - 5500 posts = +3 levels
5501 - 8000 posts = +4 levels
8001 - 10000 posts = +5 levels
10001+ = +6 levels

Gaming Systems used (cumulative):
* Each gaming system is worth one-half of a level. If you wind up with an extra .5 of a level, disregard it on creation *

1st Edition D&D
2nd Edition D&D
3rd Edition D&D (or another WOTC d20 system game. This includes the Star Wars Roleplaying Game)
White Wolf (and all such supplements)
Shadowrun
Cyberpunk 2020
HOL
Returner's FFRPG System
A MUSH, MUD, or MOO system
LARP (of any kind. This includes Laws of the Night)
West End Games
Mechwarrior/Battletech
Mekton, Mekton Zeta, etc...
Dragon Ball Z RPG
(insert other systems here for similar credit)


LOL! I had too much free time on my hands, I know.

Feedback?

 

Man that'll take a bit.

 

Well, Dark Treader, I did the math and with that system I'm a Level 16 character.
