You were right... I'd shorted myself a skill point.
With the crafting changes I had some gp left over... Seeing your post about custom items, I altered my staff if it looks ok
Darkwood Staff of the Amethyst Knight (Admonishing Ray-1, Magic Missile-1) Cost breakdown: 400x2(2nd level spell)x11(caster level)=8800
+ 300x1x11=3300... 8800+3300= 12,100 + 340 (for darkwood)
I know darkwood doesn't do much for it, but I like having both the adjective and prepositional phrase with my staff.
Gavin - I added Shield to my Formula book.
@DM Nate - Gotcha
@Yvegni- staff looks fine
@Gavin
Your crunch mostly looks ok... It looks like you applied your FCB to both hit points and skill points- there's a feat that lets you do that, but you don't have it. Under FCB you listed hp, so I think you just have 1/level too many skill points right now? Also, I think you shorted yourself one 1st level spell/day? Iirc, 28 Cha gives you 3 bonus 1st level spells. Finally, please show the breakdown for your saves (and put them in the right order, lol); it looks to me like they're all +1 too high right now, but there could be something I'm missing without the breakdown?
@Gabriel
Most of your crunch looks really good... You took weapon specialization at 5th level but warpriests only count as fighters of their level for the bonus combat feats they get from the class, not all feats; the good news is deadly aim which you took as a bonus feat doesn't require fighter levels so you can just swith those two. Also, I didn't grab a calculator and add every gold piece, but it looks like maybe you shorted yourself about 2,000 gold? Finally, this is pretty minor but the parenthesis after 4th level spells says 5/5 but the boxes/spells below correctly show 3/day.
An observation for you as well: You've spread out some of your skill points quite a bit... that's fine if its the way you want to go but with something like diplomacy there are enough other party memebers with really high bonuses that you're pretty unlikely to gain much benefit from putting any ranks there. You don't need to, but you can still rearrange your ranks if you decide you'd like to concentrate a little more on a smaller number of skills.
Well, that should be everyone... if you've got any questions feel free to ask them. It looks like we should be good to get started tomorrow though!

You're totally right, and it is fixed already.

The calculator says I've spent 38,200. It seems there was a last second item drop which I forgot to account for, apparently. Thank you for the warning, I'll purchase some potions/scrolls with that or just leave it as such to save for a bigger thing in the future.

Yup, obviously a copy-paste which I forgot to change. Solved now.

Yeah, well. I usually tend to maximize a pair of skills or three, then use the rest of the points in a spread that covers more or less the things that the character should know how to do, even if not being top-tier. In this case, I just can't see any Gem Knight not having at least a decent Diplomacy - the minimum to roll and be sure you're not throwing up the tea your Lord has just offered you in front of him and the rest of the court. Plus, even if Diplomacy is covered by the group, who knows when Gabriel might be in a situation alone and he wants to talk to someone? Same with Heal, just one rank - the minimum if I ever want to state that Gabriel can tell an axe cut from a yellow fever. Useless mechanically, but noblesse obligue.
Also done the character info on his banner. Used my usual format, feel free to tell me if there's something missing or improvable.
I've got the changes requested made. I noticed a couple minor things while doing that so I've updated those as well.
I think I'm up to date.
My whole area is currently without power... hopefully it’ll be back on soon but if not my posting may be delayed for a while
Ouch! Sorry to hear that. That means you're getting pretty cold too. What was your low last night? Got down to 19 here, still below freezing.
Be glad you're not here, it was -2 when I got up and not expected to get much warmer.
it was -5 on my way home at 1am last night, but a warmup should be coming Wednesday.
We’ve gotten as high as 3 today, but the wind chill is still sitting around -15. We got a little over a foot of snow over the weekend so I was outside for almost 2 hours digging out. Power’s been on and off 4 times since last night; it’s on right now (thankfully) but I’m not turning my computer on until I’m somewhat confident it’s actually going to stay on this time.
So, the high yesterday got up to like 7 degrees, and with windchill I don't think it ever got above zero.
The power did stay back on, unfortunately I think my computer may have been in the middle of updates when it went out so now I'm having all kinds of problems with it... I'm trying to get it working right today, but I'll be away for grad school Wed and Thursday, so I might not be able to post a real update until Friday. Sorry.
Everything alright, here?
Should we start a game of cards perhaps?
sorry for the long delay, RL's been crazy with the big winter storm up here and all, plus I lost a bunch of the stuff I had put together for this campaign when I restored my computer.
nonetheless, I'm hoping to get things started on monday, if everyone's still around...
Still here and ready to play. I have a godling to seduce.
And for waiting so patiently, everyone may select a bonus feat.....

Yeah, Leadership! xD
Still waiting patiently. Hopefully we won't find your body in the spring when things finally thaw out up there, you know July or so. :)
He's kind of a big boy. It would take a hell of a snowbank.
I prefer "large man" to "big boy"...
I'm really sorry for going quiet for so long. RL has been insane. I hate to say this, especially after you all put so much work into your characters (and did such a great job) but I think I'm going to have to hold off on starting this game for a while. I mean, not just this game, I'm basically going to be away from the boards for a while. Once things calm down a little bit for me I'll PM everyone and see who's still interested, but that may be a while. Again, I'm really sorry about this.
I can't say I'm surprised considering the delay and I understand. I'll certainly still be ready when/if you come back to run it so definitely let me know.
No worries. Looking forward to it, but I'm ok with waiting until you're ready. Best of luck to you until then.
