I just need to do something so I can cast spells and then I need to get my Intuition up high enough to help. A 68 IT is too low. I put the 90 from lowest stat into CON (the prime stat for Rangers), the 87 into Agi, and the 92 into STR. I put the 43 into IG, the 68 into IT, and I rolled a 63 for Appearance. What do you suggest I take as a magic item for my background? I am imagining it being a family heirloom that dates all the way back to our Numenorian origins. |

I wasn't there for the full discussion.....and since we were playing after the war, I didn't see that there would be a problem....but that is just my perceptions I guess....didn't know that people in LotR didn't allow people of cultures to try to redeem their culture in the eyes of the other cultures....so than, by what you said, no Wose or Barbarians either? Ill send you a character once i get one done.... |

If you wish to play someone who is redeeming their culture, I shall permit that, but I meant no "evil" or "Mordor serving" men. Orcs/Trolls and the like are always out. I look forward to reading your background. There are barbarians and the like in the options I mentioned. Men of Dale, Mirkwood, Bree, Gondor and Arnor are all available, that's over a dozen options by themselves, plus dwarves, hobbits, Sindarian/Silvan elves.. not sure why you're having trouble finding a race. |

The question is how many background options do you want to spend on one greater magic item or do you want multiple lesser items? Or do you want to get a special ability and some lesser items? You can also get some extra skill ranks a stat bonus (see the background option tables). Lots of choices. |

I was more interested in a nice magic item than in increasing skill ranks or increasing a stat slightly. I am going to review the special abilities. |

Sorry, having a really bad day at work...don't mean to come off like an @$$... No, i had an idea for him when I saw that Haradrim were allowed....and its not that I have trouble finding a culture, just there are ones that are more interesting to me (Corsairs and Haradrim) and to me allow more roleplaying potential than playing someone noone has an issue with (you know what I mean). And of course...not an orc or troll....they just sux.... And I am trying to come up with an idea that will fit the group. My original idea in the other system won't work cause we have lots of casters (1/2 the group) but not one single piece of real muscle (no offense ranger-daddy)....all the others have people and overlap tends to cause issues in a game... I'll see what I come up with.... |

I'll see what I come up with.... Rangers are excellent fighters, I've played MERP too and my Ranger kicked major butt with bow and blade, but its all how you wish to play. As I said if you want to play one of the former enemy allies/cultures, you can, but I need a background that convinces me. You'll have to overcome all the issues with the locals/NPCs too. I can suggest up several good warrior options. Dwarf of Durin's lineage (from Erebor or Iron Hills). Good examples: Gimili, Durin, Dain, Thorin etc. Dunedain: Aragorn Rohirrim: Eomer, Theoden, etc Gondorian: Boromir, Faramir |
