Icewind Dale: The SP Pot Luck Party

Remove all ads!

Well, i've decided to play through this game, having never done it before. However, i've decided to add a little twist to this. But what twist?

Use Dalekeeper to max out all my characters stats? Nope.
Play it blindfolded while balancing sushi on my head? tempting, but nope.

The plan is simple. I want a party created entirely by the madne-er, brilliance of the SP community. Here's the plan:

If you want to take part, all you have to do is give me a character concept. The minimum is a name, race, and class, but the more in depth with regards to build, the better.

To avoid people deliberately trying to balance the party (After all, where's the fun in that?), i'd like each character to be PMed to me. After a few days i'll randomly choose 6 characters and post the party here.

As the game progresses i'll post updates on how well they are (or aren't) doing.

Please don't give me a party of 6 Bards

 

Nothing wrong with a party of six bards

 

This hasn't quite taken off the way I was hoping..

 

Bogir
human, male, brown outfit, iwd portait; one with wolfskin and a horn on the chest - white hair
ranger 18/79-18-18-9-18-6
Long bows ++
spear ++
racial enemy: orcs
Legendary hunter of his barbarian tribe, he feels age has finally caught up with him and decides to leave his village. He plans die as he lived in the wild, however strange events in the North get his attention and he decides it's time to face the beasts dwelling in these mountains perhaps for the last time.

i come up with a new one tommorow

 

I've sent you a character. I hope you get enough replies to get started with!

 

Okay guys, i've got 4 characters now and the party is shaping up.. Nicely... Yeah, nicely. Sort of.

Two more and the group will get moving

Also, thaks to those that have submitted a character

 

I would participate, but it's been so long since I've played the original Icewind Dale that I don't even remember what ruleset it uses (2nd vs. 3rd edition)... so I'd probably end up sugguesting something illegal.

 

2nd, same as BG1.

Even if you suggest something illegal can easily just be subbed if necessary.

Could copy up the table of race/class combinations I guess, but am a little hazy for the while.

 

Love the Idea!

Here one I used in my Party of 5.

Remember Jan Jansens stories about Uncle Kratzy??

I'll just roll him as a new character, and do my best to get his stats right. That's 5, one more and we're ready to roll!

 

And one more -- Uncle Kratzy's favorite second nephew Kruzty, Kruzty Jansen, the gnome with an uncanny knack for hitting unfriendlies with a stick.

Kruzty Jansen -- club wielding Gnomish fighter (club, single weapon style, no shield). He's also pretty good at chucking turnips (or when none are on hand, because they've already been eaten, a sling and bullets can be subsituted).

Has good dexterity and constitution, decent strength. Not much going on in the way of wisdom, intelligence or charisma.

 

Okay guys and girls, for better or worse, the party is decided!

8people: Ramine - Female Human Enchanter
Blades of Vanatar: Bilbs Oakenheart - Male Gnome Fighter/Cleric (BoV actually submitted a Gnome Paladin so I think he was thinking of IWD2, so this seemed a good compromise)
Son of Imoen: Vara - Female Human Druid
Voy: Bogir - Male Human Ranger
Darion: Kratzy Jansen - Gnome Illusionist/Thief
Marceror: Kruzty Jansen - Gnome Fighter

I'm a little busy tonight but i'll try to get the party rolled up and started

 

Actually a reasonably balanced party, even if half of them are Gnomes!

You have 2 Divine Casters, 2 Arcane Casters, a Thief, and some fighter types. Could have been worse man.

 

Kneecaps of the world beware!

The party do seem pretty balanced, which I suppose is handy.8people actually submitted 7 characters so I chose one at random. If this goes well, I might do an IWD2 run after

 

Umm, does size actually matter?? I heard it's all about the skill!

 

cool you took my character

 

Size definitly matters Moreso in 3rd Edition though.

Does mean you'll have three distracted male gnomes walking behind two female humans

 

Shouldn't the fighters go up front to protect the ladies? Leaves still one sneaky gnome behind staring at my Druid's behind! Naughty boy, I'll have my white owl leave some droppings on your head!

 

Speaking on behalf on Kruzty, he most certainly prefers to be "distracted" behind the two female humans. Someone's got to take up the rear right? Nothing wrong with staring at some rears in so doing is there? There's no law against that, even in Faerun!

Also, those large human bodies make a nice shield against stray arrows and the like that might greet the party from ambushers.

 

I might have to start a new thread for the actual playthrough

I figured Kratzy would enjoy being at the very back of the party behind Ramine and Vara
