If anyone wants to utilize the warlock or sorcerer, feel free.
Looks like nothing else of importance changed from the most recent playtest packet.

ForestMusic: Correct me if I'm wrong, but in reading the Wizard class I think the attack modifier for your your combat spells is your INT mod +3. Would that not bring your Ray of Frost attack mod to +7 instead of +4?

Also, your melee attack mod as a wizard is (I believe) your STR mod +2, so shouldn't your quarterstaff attack mod be +3 with damage of 1d8+1?

I was definitely wrong about some of that...I'm glad you brought it up. For some reason I didn't notice the wizard table that shows the attack mods and all that.

So you are right about the spell attack mod.

Unless I'm wrong, the quarterstaff is a finesse weapon so I can chose str or dex as the mod...so it should actually be +4 with damage of +2.

I also need to add my spell save DC.

You are absolutely right. It IS a finesse weapon. That's my bad. Like I said earlier, this will be a learning process for us all. If I post something that seems wonky, feel free to call me out on it.

"Please take a seat Carric" the Master said, indicating the bench against the wall oposite his table. Carric did so without comment, and looked at the Master expectantly.
"You understand why I've asked you to see me?"
"Yes...yes I do." Carric shifted uncomfortably.
"You understand then, that I have every right to have you thrown out of the college then. I would do it too, except that there have been very few truely brilliant minds entering this place of late. One of them unfortunately, is yours."
Carric wasn't sure if he should take this as a complement, and decided to remain silent.
"I have a proposal for you. Suppose you took an extended sabatical? It has been a long time since we've had some truely original works brought into our library, and you might just be the Elf to do it. At the same time, you would be away from those friends of yours, and without your influence, I doubt they'd be inclined to continue their efforts in unseating me."
Carric looked shocked, so the Master continued: "I'd expect you to provide us with an original work, and I would expect it to go through all the usual rigors of approval for entry into the library. However, you understand that once it is accepted, that would give you the title of -"
"- Doctor. Yes." Carric's face now contained a half smile. "You'd do this then, even though I am not yet a Journeyman?"
"Yes." replied the Master "Anything to get you out of here my boy."
Carric's was smiling, and he rose to shake the Master's hand "A pleasure as always Master. I'll take my leave if you don't mind, I have to pack."

I've completed my character sheet. Being only a 4e player I've found it a little confusing, so please let me know if I've done anything incorrectly. I tried to be as careful as possible.

  I have changed my character. I found the Warlock class and fell in love. My background is currently not finished, as I could not find a suitable ending within the confines of my conscious mind, so I will come up with something later... lol

OK...after careful consideration of each character's benefits, drawbacks, and so on, I have decided who will be in the game.

-drum roll-

Everyone.
Yep. DDN is well suited for more than 5 players (not unlike BECMI through 2E), and each one of you is bringing something different to the table. Unless you are simply opposed to sharing the game with a group this size, we'll go with what we have.

I will try to have the OOC thread up sometime tonight.
Good luck, everyone.
