My D&D character

I Am A: Neutral Good Human Wizard/Sorcerer (3rd/2nd Level)

Ability Scores: Strength-11 Dexterity-13 Constitution-12 Intelligence-16 Wisdom-12 Charisma-11

Alignment: Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.

Race: Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Primary Class: Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard's strength is her spells, everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar- a small, magical, animal companion that serves her. With a high Intelligence, wizards are capable of casting very high levels of spells.

Secondary Class: Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

Old bloginess

Reading though some of my old blog entries and it seems I had a lot more to say about nothing particular at all than I do now. I’m sure that means something… probably that I’m just not thinking enough in creative ways lately. I need to do something about that. Time to get myself into the habit of posting on here, posting anything, posting everything, just posting.

Which movies have you seen?

Have to learn something…

Don’t you just hate the bit where you realise that despite all your best efforts, copying and using other peoples work, just no one has actually done what you need to do, so you have to do it yourself, and if that means I need to learn pearl, java and everything inbetween, then i’ve got a bit of reading to do.

Spam in the comments???

Recently the majority of comments posted to my little blog here have been spam. The first time I saw this happen I was rather surprised. But I got over that. Spam gets into everything. Weblog spam is different to email spam. It is usually hand entered by so no good fool who thinks it will make them some money. Why would anyone think I would even tolerate a link to a viagra site? For some strange reason the spammers seem to keep trageting the same few entries. Mostly the first draft of my Bernice story. But thanks to the wonders of a little plug-in called MT-Blacklist, I usually know about any spam posts within an hour of them appearing and have deleted them. It also does a wonderful job of blocking spam posts completely.

CSS again???

So… i’ve been playing with the CSS of this site yet again! Made it simpler, and of all things, more consistent with the original templates used for MoveableType. But why is that important? For when the MT gang do clever things and add new features it makes it much eaiser for me to add them to my silly little blog. Yay.
