Well, with so many wandering around looking for concepts, and the completely annoying 9 int. 9 wis interpretation of Uthgar on the server, I figured it might be fun to run a Uthgar tribe.

Background: Long ago, A group of slaves, with the help of an enigmatic wanderer, managed to wrest control of a small drow caravan in the underdark. The man preached the power of Uthgar to the slaves and disappeared, presumably assassinated. But the tribe continued and grew, fortifying the small caravan carts with steel and stone and taking the Tortoise as their totem, believing that fortification, the ability to weather times of loss are the greatest assets, and a slow, strong force will always prevail. They wandered the underdark for many years before being betrayed by their own leader and sold to the drow in exchange for passage to the surface.

They now have, with a fair number of losses, managed to fight their way out of Transyr and are wandering the underdark again.

This will be a CN totem tribe, believing only in the laws of the tribe. Requirements: Chaotic Neutral, True Neutral, or Chaotic good alignment. Human Any class allowed "Character demonstrates resistance in body and mind"

Personalities: Tribe Totemsoul, Tribe priest and religious ruler, Cleric or druid [or both] (Viashino_wizard) Tribe leader by birth, Barb/Ranger. (Me) Skald Type or Plain Warrior, Son of the Tribes Totemsoul (Olwa) Barbarian (GreenSkinEFU) -All welcome, just post to say your coming-

Who knows where this faction will go, but will be fun even if we all end up incinerated.

Post if your coming, we will go IG on july 20, at 1:00 PM CST.

i don't actually understand why thirteen con and this feat is vital to your concept, could you please enlighten me? i am curious

the tribe trains almost exclusivly for endurance, so high Hp.

The int requirement is because I hate low int barb's.

I think it's because of the idea that resilience is important. However, the need to go for Toughness seems a rather narrow choice. Iron Will is another feat that demonstrates the wanted (mental) toughess, for example. I'd suggest "Character demonstrates resistance in body and mind". "Must have said feat" feels a little metagamey compared to "must have physical resilience and great will in the face of peril" 13 CON means above average toughness anyway, and wanting applicant chars to RP a cautious, unshakeable personality along with it would seem more interesting.

*Steals well-worded sentience shamelessly*

They're unstoppable, until you tip them over!

This looks pretty interesting, and you can count me in. I'm interested in that totemsoul position, but I need to point out that Uthgar doesn't grant spells to druids (or rangers, for that matter).

Any god can grant ranger spells regardless of player alignment

Ive always seen him as capable of druids... Ugh. Guess I was wrong.

EDIT: Forgotten Realms Wiki agrees with me. Any DM's around to weigh in on rather Uthgar can have druids on EfU or not?

I will join you in this, as a Skald type if that is possible or as a more generic warrior type. Imp. Expertise, toughness and 16 con imo.

There isn't a model for some kind of monstrous tortoise is there? That would make a kickass animal companion.

Im in on this if i can.I love playing barb's so im all about it. Is there a last name? or any suggestions for them?

No particular last name, as its composed of slaves of different lineages, but if you want to be related to someone else in the clan, just arrange it and it'll be great.

I was thinking of having Black Tortoise as my last name, but that's just me.

Viashino_wizard I was thinking of having Black Tortoise as my last name, but that's just me.

In fact, I think Ill do this also.

If whomever is playing the 'priest' would be making him old enough to have adult sons, I'd gladly make my generic warrior his son. I'd find that cool, since I am used to play people who listen to other's orders.

Yes, he's going to be that old (white hair and everything). I'd be honored to have your character as a son.

Ok, I think Ive figured out our social structure will be, any one with ideas to add just say so:

At the top caste is the Totemsoul or Priest, who is utterly obeyed whenever religion is involved, and considered living incarnation of their Totem. He has ability to Veto any decisions made by the chief, and remove the chief from power. Judge in any religious violations. Outsiders must speak of the virtues of the Totem (The Tortoise) without any prompting from the Totemsoul to receive spells or healing.

After the Priest in rank is the chief, Who makes Military and Social decisions, and is the public figurehead of the tribe. Selected by bloodline, the bloodline can be declared unholy by the Totemsoul and thus he can be removed from power. He is Judge in all crimes agent the tribe (Murder, stealing from the tribe, Dishonoring the tribe, etc)

The Totemsoul and Priest are subject the tribe in large, who, being Uthgar, will not tolerate incompetent leaders and believe the best way to prove a chief or Priest unholy is by seeing if they can survive beheading.

Also: Any ideas on customs (Holidays, Induction of new members to the tribe, etc) would be more then welcome.

Hey guys.

With all the stuff happening IG, Ive been thinking, and we might want to get IG before the 20th.

Is everyone free on the 10th?

If not, when are you free?

I can't do anything after 4 pm CST (3 pm for me) since I'll be taking a boat that day.

Kk, As there is no way I can get off work that early, how about the 11th?

There's no rush, I just want to get in sooner then the 20th so we don't miss all the attacks and etc.

11th would probably work, yes.

I'll be looking at colleges in Boston, though, so I don't know how much time I'll have. I'm free up until the 10th, and I'm free again on the 13th.

Kk. Sunday the 13th would be fine then, Vias?

Yeah. Same time?

Yup.

I switched account now - from Olwa - so if you're going to send PM's do it to this one instead.

Kk. Got it.

Olwa = Listen in Silence

What time would that be in Arizona?I cant figure out the time zones..... :(

Alright, this is coming up in three days. I'm going to be busy until then, but I'll be on the computer enough to hear about any changes in plan. I'm making the character ahead of time now, and I'll see you all on the 13th.

Just in case, the time is 7:00 pm GMT, which is 1:00 CST and 2:00 EST.

Just an update:

I slept in past the pre-scheduled run time. Ugh.

Will be running 2 hr's from now.

...

Well, I was there. I didn't see anyone else though. >.<

I feel lonely. =(

So: when are you guys next free?

according to your schedule, it isn't happening until in 15 min...

Hm, just realized that Viashino said the 13th, and this is the 12th.

Tomorrow Hammer. Tomorrow.

Well, That makes life easier.

Tomorrow it is!

If I'm not mistaken, we should be starting in about 4 hours (correct me if I'm wrong).

Funnily enough, I ALSO got mixed up and thought we were going on the 12th. Since I didn't have my computer then, I naturally freaked out a little.

Hammer is gone for the now, let's cross our fingers and hope his mother gets better. Delayed indefinately, the beginning is.

Ok, I'm back, but I'm really not up to leading a faction right now. With current events, I just don't have the time to dedicate.

I'm not sure if this is canceled or not, Right now just consider it put on hold.
