That's my boy! Just like WFRP, making the dice your b-...um, breakfast, yeah b- stands for breakfast.

That's equivalent to a 42 point buy. Geesh!

Fate is a fickle b-.
A fickle breakfast?
Now, I guess I should ask before Mr. 42 gets settled. Does this bother anyone that one or two folks may have what we can call far end spectrum kind of rolls?
As much as I would hate to homogenize too greatly, I don't want anyone to feel bitter or have their experienced ruined. Most of you know I'm far more about the RP than I am about the numbers, so that will play a huge part in encounters of the combat and non-combat kind more than other things.
Well Leo could re-roll one of the 1's on both the 6 & the 8.
I'll play with the worse rolls if people really prefer. I really don't give s-. That's sandwich.
I'm also just saying it was all random chance so for people to be upset about it I think is silly, but I am down for whatever.
I don't anticipate anyone will be upset, ODV. But just in case I don't have the pulse, I'm putting it out there.
I don't mind the difference, though if I'm allowed to reroll the ones I'm not likely to pass that up either.
I figure a big power difference can be more of a difficulty for you as GM to keep it challenging without totally overwhelming lower powered folks. Of course with your GMing style I doubt you'll have any problems.
I would consider that a marked improvement. :P
Also, not to fret friends and allies, I am no min.maxer. My abilities or attributes may be grand but no fear, I will squander them in fruitless pursuits.
Yeah, I don't mind a high powered character being present. Class, feats and skill selection usually plays a greater role in making a character stand out than the ability scores, and we're not in competition with our allies or anything.
Of course, I'm taking the 25 point buy, as it's stronger than both the roll sets I got (though the last was closer, worth 22, but with kind of a weak spread).
Hello everybody! Just going to roll and decide what to play from there..
Man, never thought point buy might be a better option than rolling...
19.5 points is going to be the average sheet you'll get when rolling this way.
Meowselsworth's 4d6 drop the lowest
Yours just happened to be lower.
The cat gets 1 RC for doing unnecessary maths. ;-D
No maths is unnecessary.
ODV and Stavo here are random lovers. Brethren from my days of legendary WFRP gaming. I didn't mean to suggest Meowselsworth's work is unappreciated. Merely that the idea of taking a point buy over random numbers is unheard of in our former days of gaming glory. ;-)
I can live with these rolls. I am sure I could roll/buy better but I would rather keep average scores and adjust my scores depending on race/class. This will work for me.
Do we have a due date for getting our characters ready and game started? I don't want to lose this fire of excitement burning inside!
Hey everyone, because Meowselsworth asked for it, deadline for creation is Sunday. Also, you guys can try posting a second set of rolls if you want before opting to the 25 point buy if you desire.
As always, I am here for any questions and concerns.
Sunday being April 12.
I can read güd
Well we had our WFRP's game last night, I did manage to roll up a superb 22WS for my fisherman. Then again the dice were good to me during play, for healing an elf. (And staying at the back of the party does help :P)
I believe Ali is done, currently residing in some cellars in Brevoy - entertaining the local patrons of the taphouses and annoying the local nobles with a few pertinent but awkward questions of heritage.
Stavo, I think you still have one reroll for your ability scores, if I understand everything correctly. In which case, you may have a chance of a better set of rolls than that.
I saw that Leoian asked about races. I'm fairly open, but I would like to ask you to choose races that would not be likely to be discriminated against by the land charter office. So the more monstrous or unlikely to be accepted by society races are probably not a good fit. I'm willing to be flexible that maybe one PC is "picked up" in the wilderness and thus could be a tad more monstrous, but as my game will begin play in civilization with no set time before we get to the wilderness exploration, that player may be waiting a while before we could introduce if that's the type of entry for them at which we're looking.
Ahhh you all convinced me! Bless me Tzeentch,Lord of Rolls!
Well one of my scores is tanked....but this may work. Don't know a barbarian who needs dex anyways... (kidding)
Didn't you mean Wisdom? :P
The joke was that new playersmight not see the importance of dexterity to none ranged classes. Maybe. Obviously it wasn't a good joke...
So you thinking of barbar?
Then we've got ODV's Viking, Kindral's archer, Mahorf's Robocop, Meow's Timethief & Leo?
/me steps up the heal-bot.
ODV isn't planning on playing Ragnar again I don't believe, but it may still be a Viking for all I know.
Not just a barbarian, a bloodrager. And I'm not sure ODV is sure of what he is playing...

Hahaha!
No I don't believe I will be playing Ragnar this go around. As fun as he was the winds of change have blown me to a different path...
And which path that is exactly remains to be seen but I'm suspecting it'll be fun regardless!
For sure, the path is bardic in nature...
So he'll be skalding hot. :P
So he'll be skalding hot. :P
Maybe..... Maybe not
I will be playing a variety of things from an agent of chaos and destruction who can cause madness with a whistle, agents from a priesthood worshiping a portal leading somewhere not from this world, a bewildered wizard and his lockmaker friend, and an adorable orphan girl and her one-eyed teddy bear.
*cackles sadistically*
Ali, is Ali a bard or am I mistaken on that?
Crunch is mostly done I think, unless I decide to pick up any more doodads. Still need to pick a language and name. I don't think androids really have their own naming conventions, so he'd probably pick something for himself that sounds human-ish. Too bad we don't know what the most common name in Golarion is; he'd probably go with that.

Rage (Ex) As a free action, can enter a rage that grants +4 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution, as well a +2 morale bonus on Will saves. In addition, takes a -2 penalty to Armor Class. When in a rage, cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skill checks (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate and Ride checks), or any ability that requires patience or concentration.
No back story as of yet, though I do actually have something in mind this time. Numeria is thankfully right next door, so maybe that will allow some Technic League shenanigans.

If you don't slip in a "Why do you cry?" at least once or twice.
"There are no strings on me." #_#

No Ultron, all T-800. Come on bro!
(Also I still haven't seen a single Avengers AoU trailer. So I only know that phrase as a reference to it, but never knowing how it is said. Bonkers I know.)
Hahaha I had no idea it was an Ultron reference...all I could think about was Chappie's "Go to sleep!"
Ultron? Whaaaa? No, this is like, Pinocchio, man. :^D
Ali, is Ali a bard or am I mistaken on that?
Yes, you are mistaken.

Still need to buy some trappings but this will be my Bloodrager (Stavo). I also will have a backstory soon but my first attempt was erased by Windows 8's greatness.
This is shaping up to be one angry party.
We have a blind kid, can't be too angry.
