Not exactly a new idea --> http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=33284.0

Ironically, the players that wanted to do this before are probably some of the "oldbies" you're wanting to pull back now...  

LigH is right about the 1998-2000 era, of course, and the notable "distraction" was girls. I just liked that excuse and had to throw it in there... after all, even "gods" are only human.

You forgot the Mā„¢

Idea?

Galactica.

Q: What major event (plus one "distraction" ) resulted in a lull in PlaneShift's development?


/me gets overly excited and guesses "Y2K Hysteria!"

/me then seems to realize that he just tried to answer his own question... and still got it wrong.

You people have no senses of humor... I particularly like the one where Kull is a purrty little kitty cat.

Figured the results would be more interesting if I took the "test" as my PS character.

Wouldn't that make him at least levels 6/7 though...considering his age 

Exactly how old do you think Marq is supposed to be?! He's not that old but I figure diaboli live fast and die young.

Anyway, was bored and halfway curious to see how the results compared so, I took the test again. Apparently a character based on me would lack conviction.*shrugs indifferently* Seems I'd still be a bit of a rogue though.


True Neutral Human Cleric/Rogue (2nd/1st Level)


Ability Scores:
Strength- 13
Dexterity- 14
Constitution- 12
Intelligence- 15
Wisdom- 11
Charisma- 13

Alignment:
True Neutral- A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.

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:
Clerics- Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

Secondary Class:
Rogues- Rogues have little in common with each other. While some - maybe even the majority - are stealthy thieves, many serve as scouts, spies, investigators, diplomats, and simple thugs. Rogues are versatile, adaptable, and skilled at getting what others don't want them to get. While not equal to a fighter in combat, a rogue knows how to hit where it hurts, and a sneak attack can dish out a lot of damage. Rogues also seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding danger. Experienced rogues develop nearly magical powers and skills as they master the arts of stealth, evasion, and sneak attacks. In addition, while not capable of casting spells on their own, a rogue can sometimes 'fake it' well enough to cast spells from scrolls, activate wands, and use just about any other magic item.
