'Poly D&D- Coordination Thread.

[MattH]

Oh, yeah. And I had this great idea at about 12.30 am. We could call it A D&D. Get it? Apolyton D&D? hehehe. Note to self: don't try to think after 11.30 pm.

That appeals to me.

My vote is for 3E. I don't know 2E rules at all really.

[Ellestar]

I want to participate as a player. Expirienced in ADnD& DnD 3rd. edition, but my English sucks. So don't suspect a lot of roleplaying from me.

[MattH]

Ok, I guess we'll have to vote. Give me a couple minutes.

Choices will probably be:
1st ED
2nd ED
3rd ED
3.5th ED

2nd was suggested because it's publicly available.

[Japher]

I'd say 2nd with 3rd edition modifications as defined by the DM... Multi-class, race restrictions of 3rd would be nice...

standard human staring out usually only has one 15-17, and a few 13-15s and the rest are 10-12ish

22-32 points doesn't yield that though...

[Jon Miller]

you can get PDFs of 3rd from me

and 30 points yields 16, 18, 8, 8, 10, 10 (and you should have a low score or two if you have an 18) or 16, 14, 14, 12, 10, 10

I am GMing now snowfire and all I know is that nothing is harder on me than having a session where people don't show

but the rest of third is nice als

and 30 points does end up with one 15-17, two 13-15, and three 10-12

hey i'd like to play, but it's been a while and i'm not too familiar with the rules anymore

[Japher]

9 - 1
10-2
11-3
12-4
13-5
14-6
15-8
16-10
17-13
18-16

Sorry, missed this. I am fine with 30 points. Also, 3rd Ed. you get to add stats which is a nice addition.

That's just crappy. Can use 2x the amount easily

60 points gives you one 18, two 16's, and 3 15's. You probably don't need 15 charisma unless you want a paladin or monk, and you probably can live with an 11 strength is you are some sort of spell caster.

This hasn't touched anything over 18.

in 3rd you can't go over 18 unless you have a different race

I also like 3rd. The big new thing in 3.5 that actually improves low level game play is the fact they made the ranger a class you might want to play, as opposed to a class that you just get one level of to be able to dual wield weapons easily. Also ambidexterity and TWF became one feat so that fighting with two weapons is easier. (As a player, those are the main changes I like, though I'd probably try something different, since all my characters seem to have rogue levels and two weapons.)

As far as a campaign is concerned, my idea would involve the party being recruited to perform certain tasks (or quests if you prefer) by some influential NPC or possibly some faction. The giver of tasks would not care much whom completed the task and in what manner, allowing for substitution of PCs throughout the adventure (though some sidequests may involve specific members of the party, though in most cases these would pop up during a session and the specific PC would be the member of a specific class present at a given time).

[MattH]

Still waiting for reply from Ming... and I know he's around
Hopefully we can start voting tommorow.

[Jon Miller]

why don't we vote today?

a lot of people have sounded off, if you haven't please do so

Jon Miller

[Zevico]

The only real experience I have is 3rd edition (Baldur's Gate excluded), so that will by my vote.
