Re: The Mind's Eye [Shriastae's Profile]

<r>I've been trying to work out something similar to that, so I can get her involved ASAP. Honestly, her backstory only mentions one person - Petra. Other than that, she's going to need to build up genuine RP relationships. So yeah. Whenever I find a good way to set her up for that kind of thing, sh...

Re: The Mind's Eye [Shriastae's Profile]

<t>"Scared" is a good way of putting it. Honestly, I'm of the firm belief that all drow are raised "evil," especially the upper-class girls. They're taught to lie, cheat, backstab, and extort their way through life from the day they're old enough to understand what lying is. The ones that learn to d...

Re: <Insert Generic Greeting Here>

Someone seems to believe I'm playing an evil character. :P

Lemme just get the start of her profile out. Then we'll reexamine that idea.

Re: <Insert Generic Greeting Here>

Makes it convenient for escapes, too. *makes notes regarding that*

Orcs have Obould Many-Arrows. I totally forgot about him. Not trouncing on canon. :P Shri'd make a horrible leader anyway.

Re: <Insert Generic Greeting Here>

<t>Actually, that's an interesting idea. I'll think about it, but I wouldn't do something like that in history. That's something that needs to be done where people can see it.<br/> <br/> A lot of things "of the North" happening here. But then, Menzoberranzan and Skullport are both in the North-ish. ...

Re: <Insert Generic Greeting Here>

<t>Writing is different for different people. I like to have a character's backstory written out before I start writing her in actual RP, just like I like having a character's backstory worked out before I start playing them in an actual game. I know the roughish estimates of who she is...but until ...

Re: Happy Birthday, Aylstra Illianniis

Normally I'd honor the old tradition among my friends to give extremely suggestive and highly inappropriate happy birthday eCards. But I don't think I wanna get on the mods' bad sides less than a week after joining the site. :P

Happy birthday anyway.

Re: Neverwinter Previews Drow

<t>4e stats for each race give them two +2's during character creation. In actual 4e, every race has a main stat (for drow, that would be Dexterity) and a "flex" stat that you can choose between two different scores (Wisdom and Charisma for drow). Humans only get one bonus stat, but it can be anythi...

Re: DDO Goes Faerun

<t>Personally, I greatly enjoyed DDO when I got to play it. This is likely because I don't have high standards for an MMO and I played with friends, but it had everything I actually wanted in a game. I do wish it was at least barely balanced, and the lack of interesting (or any) prestige classes mea...

Re: <Insert Generic Greeting Here>

<t>Like I said, I'm fine waiting. I've been part of larger RP boards that have slow months. As a rule, if a board lasts for more than two years with at least intermittent activity, it'll last for as long as the admins care about it. Slow is fine. Things will get better in time.<br/> <br/> I'll get y...

Oooh, I can tell I'm going to like you guys. You [i:mr5fmtag]think[/i:mr5fmtag]. :D

Slow is fine. I'll be moving regardless, and a couple of you seem post-per-day active, which is more than enough. Glad to be a part of it. ^_^

Re: <Insert Generic Greeting Here>

<r>Alrighty kids, time to explain.<br/> <br/> Shri was raised in a proper drow "noble" house. Not one of the ruling Houses of the city, but still nobility. Her sisters, all older, went to the Arach-Tinilith as every good noble girl did. Shri was the youngest of four sisters, and she didn't fancy fig...

Re: <Insert Generic Greeting Here>

<t>Oh, I'm well aware of her raw stats. Deities and Demigods was a very...interesting read. I just keep feeling that she exists just to make all of the rebellious good drow have an easier time by giving them some kind of precedent.<br/> <br/> And the fact that Ed Greenwood was one of her primary cre...

Re: <Insert Generic Greeting Here>

<r>That entirely depends. Are dual scimitars and a pet panther standard-issue, or do I have to work my way up to it? <E>:P</E><br/> <br/> To be fair, Shri specifically was never an ardent "spider-kisser."
