Hey guys, here's the dealio. I've been working on developing a D&D server for the game "Neverwinter Nights". (If you have no idea what D&D is, or you hate D&D, just click the back button, i don't want to hear it.) I've been creating this game for about 5 years. Within this game, i have constructed a clan organization (Name of clan withheld, for legal reasons). That involves over 100 members, and a wide range of diverse characters. But now that Neverwinter Nights 2 has been released, i've decided to recreate everything.So, here's where i need your help.
First off, Neverwinter Nights is an MMORPG created by Bioware. What i want to do, is create character sets, that players can choose, and use within the server i'm making (Kind of like using an action figure in the game, it's already made, you just get to play with it) Below, i've provided all of the information for creating a D&D character. Mix and match, whatever, and post your ideas. You wil be credited in the game for your idea.
First note: This is not a game thread, all i need is ideas to create a computer game
Here's an example of one of my creations
Character design format

Armor of choice: Light / Black

Description: Blah blah blah stuff about me.
Name: Most characters need names. Any sort of name, that's fitting to the character will do (No names like Dingledoodle McFuckshit...) Certain race types have different name styles
Dwarves have words like "Rocksplitter" or "Heavyboot"
Elven names are fucking impossible to pronounce, but look cool, like "Drizzt Do'Urden"
Gnome and Halfling names are simple, and often end with titles such as "Kevin the Snitch"
Orc and Ogre names use "Org" and "Ok" alot. Think of somthing clever. (Also end with titles)
Race types
Human: Average height, humans adapt to an sort of lifestyle
Dwarf: Shorter than humans, but bulk with muscle, dwarves naturally have great strength and toughness

Half-Orc: Mixed with human and orge blood, Half-Orcs are naturally very strong, but lack intelligence.
Classes

Alignment:
Lawful Good: Typical good guy
Neutral Good: The Nice guy
Chaotic Good: Good guy, but a little out of control
Lawful Neutral: Good guy, plays by his own rules
Neutral: Neither good, or evil. Does what he wants
Chaotic Neutral: The quiet type, often underestimated
Lawful Evil: Follows his own code of "honor"
Neutral Evil: Kills those who oppose him, leaves the other alone.

Weapon of choice
There are WAY too many weapons to list. So, use your imagination (Or a D&D ,manual) and choose a weapon.
Combinations: Single-hand weapon. S-H + Sheild, 2x Single-hand (L, R), Two-handed weapon
Weapon Size: Tiny (Dagger) Small (Short sword) Medium (Long sword) Large (Two handed battleaxe)
Armor of choice: Real simple, what you want your character to wear.
Light armor, Medium Armor, Heavy armor, formal outfit, wizard robe, elaborate outfit, etc. Free-for-all, i'll design it with the game toolset.
Spells of choice
Again, too many to list. If you don't know any D&D spells, just list a spell element that i can work with
Damage, Illusion, Trickery, Summoning, Healing, Necromancy (death), Mutation, Protection
Profession: If you can think of a special skill you want your character to have (Theif, Judge, Chef, Army commander) List it, i'll work it into the game.
Description: Anything specific you want you character to have. A certain hairstyle, facial features, height, weight, etc. Post an MSpaint drawing if you want. This will help design the outline and equiptment for the character.
If you don't want to participate, Don't post anything. Posting "Blah blah blah D&D sucks" is a waste of your/my time.
Do what now...?
