New Player wondering about Celt Dragoons

Hey call me Ferris,

          I like dragons... no, really though...

          So after looking through the classes/races I've been thinking about a spear wielding Celtic Dragoon...

          I am new to the system and the community, so what does this entail in game terms...

            How much can Celts lie? Can they not lie?

            I lack a kilt

            Is a Claymore, or spear more appropriate for a Celt?

Hi Ferris,

Info about Celt's can be found here.

As for the lying part...

Celts are honorable people and find lying offensive and intolerable; they are also very proud of who they are and do not take insults lightly. Such affronts require a Celt to – at a minimum – express her displeasure to the offending person.

If you don't have a kilt, some substitutes can be found.  Shopping websites & various folks can make & sell you something if you need it.

As for a Claymore or Spear... it's up to you & the character concept.

            I lack a kilt

I believe I have spied a celt or two wearing plaid fabric wrapped around them and saftey pinned till they were able to get a proper kilt...

Costuming and Makeup Requirements
Celts wear kilts as a symbol of pride and fidelity towards their clans. When preparing for battle, or a special occasion, it is not uncommon for a Celt to paint herself with some pattern of blue.

As someone who plays a Celt and is kicking himself in the arse for not picking up Dragoon, I'mma toss in my two cents...

First, I lacked a kilt during my first event, went about in pants and made up an excuse (Gypsies whom he and his cousin Bran were "abducted by" stole it and my character would NOT wear a kilt not of his clan's tartan, thus not having one until my second event). So, even if you can't scrounge up one, if you have enough reason, folks are likely to let it slide. In the meantime, look at www.stillwaterkilts.com they have fairly inexpensive oens. My own is an Irish National from their Economy kilt line, only cost $30 something dollars.

As for Spear or Claymore... Which real life Celts are you basing your character/accent off of? If you are playing a more Scottish Celt, then claymore all the way as it is a sword of Scottish origin. If Irish, spears tended to hold a fair amount of significance to the warrior caste (I.E. When a warrior died, they would break his spear and bury it with him, both so he would have it in the next life and to prevent anther person from wielding their spear.)

Just my two cents...

Then likely the spear, as Irish and polearms I am more familiar with...

I was planning on wearing a rather simple fix of a shirt which looked (for the most part) the right description for a kilt...

I've read all the material on both the class and race before posting, but I've found that any RPG's material and it's actual games are often very different depending on how long you have been playing.

I was trying to determine if a costume requirment meant I could wear a feasible phys rep, or that it's all or nothing like with some of the more exotic races.

So what are the clans, how do I determine what colors belong to which, and how does it become appropriate to adopt one for my character's back story.

For the Gaelic I am good, I have a decent brough...

In terms of naming I am likely going with "Fear'ghal Ull Ui'hir" but I am not sure how clans come into the naming process...

I sent an e-mail to the address for the new people, and got a reply about when I would be interested... I said as soon as possible, and I am just curious when other players think is a good time.
