GM: Awesome. Sorry, these last couple weeks have been insanely busy, otherwise I’d be more involved in the recruitment (reading through everyone’s characters and figuring out how they’d relate, etc.).


Okay, finished up stats, other than gear/spellbook. If you really want it before making your selection, I can try to find time, but it's what also takes me the longest. Was there anything else you wanted to know?

Also, just for the record: Tesla isn't exactly reckless per se. He's just... a little overconfident at times. And stuff has a tendency to blow up around him. It wasn't intentional at first, but it is useful for fighting.


Names: I don't know if 'anachronistic' is the right word, but I know what you mean. Hmmmm.... I'll change the first name to something, we'll see what.

Personality: I see what you mean. I did play up the 'mad' part of mad scientist a lot in his write up, didn't I? The way I see him is that he is still a scientist (or what we would recognize as one) at heart. He just may underestimate the danger of his 'experiments' a bit, but he's still very methodical and notes down exactly what went wrong to prevent making the same mistake again.

Age: He is 20. Sorry, meant to mention that somewhere.

Future: I imagine he'll mellow out some in time, once he learns to control primal magic more and is no longer thrilled by every little development, and turn into a more 'respectable' man of science/magic, and try to codify the underlying aspects of magic more, making it more of a widely-available tool rather than something only accessible after years of studying.

Statblock: Will do. How long will recruitment be open, have you decided?


Okay, Tesla, while not done mechanically (spells, feats/skills, and gear yet to choose) is done from a story perspective, more or less.
Incidentally, I decided on him being a Hermean runaway (mirroring the real-life Tesla dropping out of college) before realizing there was another Hermean applicant. Should we both be selected, that could be interesting.
Anyway, any feedback?


Out of curiosity, can the weapon/armor bonuses from ABP be applied to ranged touch attacks (spells) and Mage Armor? It won't make any real difference in my character, just wondering.


Ha ha! I made this ages ago. Maybe it's time to put it to some use? Anyway, let's see how my luck goes.

4d6 - 4 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 6) - 4 = 17
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 6) - 1 = 11
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 4) - 2 = 14
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (5, 2, 3, 5) - 2 = 13
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (6, 2, 3, 3) - 2 = 12
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 6) - 2 = 13

Hmmm. Well, that is definitely a Caster array. And 27 points? Not bad at all. Let me google some stuff and figure out what exactly I'm building.
