Question....favored class, take 1 HP or + 1 spell less one level I can cast?
Example at 5 th level I would be able to finally select a 2nd level spell to add to my Spellbook.

Depends what you want to do. Do you want to be able to cast a LOT of spells? The HP shouldn't matter that much as you had best stay back from combat and let your furry friends do the fighting. Might even look at taking the skill point...

"I was less than offal. I am now a paladin of Iomadae. Enough said."
Wait so you WERE less than offal? Does that mean you weren't offal? If you WERE less than offal but are not now less than offal that makes you MORE than offal? Which means you are worse than offal? Is that like stupid idiot?
My head hurts...
I was the dirt lying under the offal....I was suboffal...quasi-offalacious....psuedo-offaltine....semi-offalique.....Let' s face it, I stunk!!
If he was a drink he would be offaltine
Are you kidding me, I roll a one. My speeches are epic right now. Honest, heart pouring, and pertinent to what is happening. Sheesh! I hate diplomacy.
Maybe I spoke in a language only the Professor could understand.

See my note to Uuranx. You are simply gassed from holding up that coffin.
Sheesh....made six rolls and five are 3,4,3,1,3! At least I did not drop the coffin!
I might be the first illiterate wizard in the world. Plus inept skills. It is very tough being Randtam. Carrion Crown...Thank you for the time saver...

And after all my kind words about your skills!
Read at your own peril!!!!!!!!!
Perilous peril?
And then you said, 'Is there any other kind?'. I can have the court reporter read it back to you...

Have you ever stood upon a wall....
Corporal Santiago was a subpar wizard.
Jon...Happy Memorial Day!
Jon...Happy Memorial Day!
I echo that sentiment as I enjoy the blessings of the liberty you provide while I question the manner in which you provide it. Sorry Mr. NSA reader, that's just how I feel. No need for a drone strike...
:)
thanks!
Azzakhan : thought I called in the drone strike on my mark.
Azz faked his own death with the hellhound and is now hiding in a spider hole calling in drone strikes!
Did you honestly think I am dead? I drank my elixir and it was so lively delicious. Bombs away
Where is Uranus?
Hope he shows up when everyone is about to die.
Oops sorry. Half Orcs always save the day!
Darn not taking local and history as skills, or did I use one as a favored class?? Not sure how this works...do I just roll each morning for all checks to see what happens?
Untrained
You cannot make an untrained Knowledge check with a DC higher than 10. If you have access to an extensive library that covers a specific skill, this limit is removed. The time to make checks using a library, however, increases to 1d4 hours. Particularly complete libraries might even grant a bonus on Knowledge checks in the fields that they cover.
So getting access to the libraries is critical to:
1. Be able to make checks at all (you get to check for Whispering Way [arcana/religion checks] because you have access to the Professor's study.)
2. Be able to make DC 25 checks (would need a 20 to do with a +5 ability score modifier and access to a library).
Each of you can make 1 check per category per day and add in the modifiers as you reach them. I'm having Jon/Clint RP the Town Hall for flavor and to increase their chances to persuade the town to let you use the library (will need a DC 25 diplomacy). If you read my Alamin spoiler I just had her make diplomacy rolls to see how many days attempt it took to persuade the clergy. Other "stuff" will be happening while you research and try to figure out what is going on and you can build Trust Points with the town's citizens as events unfold.
In theory when you have enough +s to your check you will be able to start taking 20, but that will still take a few days research for each subject.
Taking 20
When you have plenty of time, you are faced with no threats or distractions, and the skill being attempted carries no penalties for failure, you can take 20. In other words, if you a d20 roll enough times, eventually you will get a 20. Instead of rolling 1d20 for the skill check, just calculate your result as if you had rolled a 20.
Taking 20 means you are trying until you get it right, and it assumes that you fail many times before succeeding. Taking 20 takes 20 times as long as making a single check would take (usually 2 minutes for a skill that takes 1 round or less to perform).
Since taking 20 assumes that your character will fail many times before succeeding, your character would automatically incur any penalties for failure before he or she could complete the task (hence why it is generally not allowed with skills that carry such penalties). Common “take 20” skills include Disable Device (when used to open locks), Escape Artist, and Perception (when attempting to find traps).
So as a wizard I am untrained in knowledge checks I have not taken ranks in? Hence cannot even attempt a knowledge check with a +4 modifier due to intelligence?
Bingo
Did not know that at all. So since I have not decided my favored class extra, I choose an extra skill, not HP or spell. I place that skill in knowledge history. I shall adjust my character now.
So each day I get to try a knowledge check. But I cannot roll a local check? But the other three yes? Do I roll each morning and wait for information or do I wait for you to tell me to roll?
So think of it like you are Stephen Hawkins. You are REALLY smart, but if you never sutdied and learned anything about 15th century French poetry, you are just not going to know very much on that subject (over DC 10). That's why the knowledge sets are locked out unless you have library access for research (you do, yeah!).
So the first day YOU can make a knowledge check on the Whispering Way (+2 for the library and + your INT mod) because you studied the Professor's research. The party won't be able to get the +4 from the church until Day 4 and each person that is researching there (can be multiple people), can only research 1 of the 3 topics: Harrowstone, prisoners, Whispering Way.
I gave you a local check about Harrowstone (the spoiler post to you) based on your RP and background figuring that you had heavy correspondance with the Professor and were a student and that you would know a fair amount about where the Professor lived.
That makes sense. Still not sure when to roll though. I am attempting to slow things down and not compare the real world to our "alter" world when it comes to time.
BTW...who is Stephen Hawkins? Oh yeah, he is my neighbor down the street. He is an idiot. :D
My character is pretty much useless at this point if he has no knowledge. Spoilers are there for a reason. I will 99% divulge everything! but a neutral wizard must keep some secrets right?
To all: I do not like your photos. You make me nervous. Are we that hard?
I keep seeing the tags and they are killing me.
Vraxel is a 3 foot tall stone cold killer!
To Vraxlel..You are one BMF
Saves-help/kill all characters...just like last time. Constant poisoning... At some point u lose save roll( because pluses are low) and abilities. Takes days to get them back.
Survival very difficult for regular character. Maybe every character should boost up their save value. Not that easy though.
No problem once I take my second level in Paladin (2 more levels!). Then I get divine grace and in addition to the killer saves of the Paly I get to add my CHA bonus (+3) to all saves. Then bring on the poison et. al.!
Did we just jump to second level. Hell saving throws suck!
Question....am I wasting my time stating that I am concentrating each round when I use detect magic? Each round I can discover more about a magic item/aura, correct?

I tend to do this based on the situation. In this case I imagine you will be opening the sarcophagus shortly so why bother playing out the detect magic?
UR doing good with it; keep it going.
For HP take 1/2+1+CON
So HD=10 HP would be 6 (5+1) plus any CON bonus.
Boo! It favors classes with low hit points by clumping everyone together. And what about favored class hit points?
A wizard gets 4 hp.
A cleric gets 5 hp.
A fighter gets 6 hp.
A barb gets 7 hp.
Azzakan from his spider hole wonders..."What the heck is a trapper?" He wants a lot of HP, good for him!
Drone strikes on command...

OK, have it your way but don't whine when you roll a 1....
HAH!
No 1's allowed, roll your dice, take 1/2 minimum. Tried and true rules applicable since ancient times! And why has Alamin gone all loco on us and taken a level of pally?
