Still have to finish cleaning this up from change in stats and I have some gold left.
I think I'm ready.
Grak, you made a 29 point buy character, from what I see. Do you have any bonuses to INT score that I do not see? Or is that from the extra ability score bonus I offered?
Tsunis, I looked briefly, and it seems okay, except one thing. See below.
I don't think any of you got an extra feat the other characters got. Correct me if I am wrong.
On Grak's sheet, I see Brew potion, Throw anything, Splash Weapon Mastery.
Brew Potion and Throw Anything are from alchemist class, and Splash Weapon Mastery is from the 1st level feat. Other characters have an extra feat, or a +2 bonus to one ability score. If that +2 to INT is from that, then all is good.
------------
Tsunis - same thing in your sheet. I see Improved Unarmed Strike, Snapping Turtle Style, Weapon Focus (unarmed strike)
Improved Unarmed Strike, Weapon Focus (unarmed strike) are from the class and favored weapon class feature, and Snapping Turtle Style is from level 1. So 1 extra feat or +2 to one ability score there. Let me know which.
Not sure I understand your request:
Tsunis is Suli and racially gains +2 to Str and Chr and -2 to Int.
As you point out he gains Improved Unarmed Strike and Weapon Focus (unarmed strike from the class and favored weapon class feature, and Snapping Turtle Style is his level 1 feat.
Are you saying I need to either add an additional feat or +2 to an ability score? If so, what is that from? Did I miss this in the build rules somewhere?
For the point buy, hobgoblins get +2 to dex and con so I think that goves me +1+5+2+17+2-2=25.
I missed the part about an extra feat or +2 to a stat. I think I'll take Precise shot.
My bad. I calculated with goblin racials. Not hobgoblin. A bad habit from 2e.
So yes, an extra feat or +2 to one ability score for both of you. It's from the old thread, and I seem to nit mentioned it in the build rules post here.
SURPRISE!
Hmm. Certainly want the stat boost. Between Strength and Wisdom. Would it be ok to split the points between the two stats?
Let's go with +2 to one score.
Unless you want to gimp yourself instead? I mean mathematically (when talking about point buy, specifically), taking a +2 to your priority stat is better than splitting that bonus, no?
Even if you would lower your base STR to 14, get a racial bonus and this custom bonus for a total of 18, and freeing up 5 purchasing points for other stats.
(downgrading from 16 base str for 10 points to 14 base str for 5 points)
OK. I was not thinking rebuilding completely. Just that I seemed to have a lot of odd ability scores. Long term I think it will be a wash anyway. I'll do a slight rebuild and post updates later today to my alias.
Yes. Finished. Only question is should he take the Mostly Human trait or stay an outsider. Thoughts?

Seems to be mostly flavor to me unless I'm missing something. I guess it depends on how you want to play the character.
There's a minor impact on what kind of spells can affect you due to your creature type; other than that, there's little mechanical impact.
I'd say choose what fits your vision of the PC best.
Gonna start getting this back on track, then. We seem to be ready.
Florence, Golos, I have a few posts planned that would get you to meet Grak and Tsunis. Bear with me here.
Unless, you want me to put you on rails, rush ahead and just describe what happens.
I believe Tunis will not take the Mostly Human trait and stay an outsider. I believe that means Enlarge Person will not work on him, not sure. And may cause some social issues but I like the flavor better.
Ding ding.
Waiting for Florence to join me before I explore further.
Unsure what we are waiting on?
Waiting for Florence to post. I'll wait approx 12 hrs, then move on with the story.
Carry on, Golos. Consider Florence by your side until we hear from them.
Sorry, I was swamped today.
With your permission, and since we're just beginning the replacement module, I'd like to make a slight change to Golos' build.
He was originally build with the Bronze dragon (electricity) type for his Draconic bloodline; I'd like to change that to Black (acid). At the same time, his spells known would change from 0-level jolt to acid splash and 1st-level shock shield to plain shield. Also adding the purchase of a flask of acid to take advantage of its use as an alchemical power component for +1 damage with acid splash.
Sure thing. All good on my end.
So should I do the summary of how you got here? Grak and Tsunis, specifically.
Tropical area coastline - South Shackles? That gives us jungle and pirates and even the threat of Cheliax not too far away. :)
I'm leaving shortly for a weekend trip; I won't be able to post again until Monday morning.
Well, this seems like it's a bust. We lost another player. Carimac is not getting back to me, and it's been a week. Or will be in a few hours, rather.
After jumping all the hurdles and setting this up, losing a player, getting two more and setting them up, we seem to be down again.
The universe seems to be preventing us to do this game. I wanted to run a long-term game with the same people, but it seems it just wasn't meant to be.
Sorry, folks. An attempt has been made, but it's over now. Good luck in your future endeavours.
I will close the thread by Wednesday, if you have something on your mind that you wish to be said.
Thanks for participating.
Sorry to hear this. I was already having a good time. Had to learn how much leeway I had in defining my backstory but was getting there.
If you ever need players let me know.
Sorry to hear this isn't working out. It can be quite challenging to keep a game going once players leave. Thanks for trying.
