Lazaro,

I'm trying to go over Acero right now. Overall, pretty good job. However, I do need you to clarify his skill points break down. He has 16 points to spend on ranks. Also, please recall that Sense Motive is not a class skill for Barbarians. Some more detail there would be great, as I can not get the numbers to work out.

Also, I calculated that Acero would still have 40 gp after buying his sword and armor. Do you want him to have any other possessions besides his combat gear?

Edit: Also, I disagree with his Listen and Spot being +4 under Senses, unless that is part of the Skill point mystery.

ok I think I got it fixed

Spoiler:
Acero

Male Half-orc Barbarian 1
CN Medium humanoid
Init +1; Senses Listen +3, Spot +3; Darkvision 60 ft.

DEFENSE
AC 14, touch 11, flat-footed 13
(+3 armor, +1 Dex,)

OFFENSE
Spd 40 ft.
Melee +4 bastard sword (1d10+3/19-20/x2)
Ranged
Special Attacks Rage 1/day

TACTICS
Before Combat Acero tries to find the strongest opponent and moves to attack.
During Combat There are two things Acero does not do in combat unless he needs too. One is raging. Acero tries to save his rage ability for an opponent worthy of it, or if he's badly injured. The other is holding his blade two-handed. He knows that holding the sword two-handed is the most effect way to so. The idea of doing it ticks him off. He will use it though if it seems he may die.
Rage Statistics AC 12, touch 9, flat-footed 11; hp 16; Fort +6, Will +3; Melee +6 bastard sword (1d10+5); Str 20, Con 14; Grp +6

Combat Gear ;Other Gear Bastard sword, studded leather armor(armor is part of long coat), travelers outfit(tattered and worn, sleeves ripped off shirt and long coat), 40 gp's

Acero's not big on personal wealth. All he has is whats on his back.

I think I know my mistake, I've put reistance as a 1st level spell rather than an 0-level spell. My mistake, will correct as soon as possible.

No problem Cry..I had thought you might want valid IC reasons for things so I've started that part of the story here

That ..dream, vision, delusion, call it what you will... occurs one or two days before the scenario starts.

Right, that's the sort of thing I'm talking about. Keep up with that, and it should be quite plausible to branch into the Mystic Theurge PrC.

Oh, and I think there's a typo in Andrea's corrected cash totals...should be 36 gp, 6 sp.

Thanks Wellard!

Thanks for the fix, metagaia. Tanrob looks good now.


Lazaro, Acero's skills worked out for me now. Thanks for fixing that. Acero looks ready to start now, except that his profile under your alias did not get his gp total corrected...it still says 35gp, should be 40. That's it! :)

Huh, I thought I fixed that part. I'll get that fixed real quick.

Looking forward to starting soon

I just noticed that Ambriel lists her languages as common and Chelaxian...I believe they are one and the same in Varisia.

Typo corrected..that'll teach me to do things half asleep

Absolutely correct!

mittean, please take note.


Demidian,

Chavali looks pretty solid. Good job! I just have a couple nitpicks.

I don't see a languages spot...am I overlooking it? I'm assuming she knows Common and Varisian.

Her ranged combat section should have a +3 attack mod for thrown dagger, and please also add a line for her dart attack.

One other minor discrepancy...I figured Chavali would have 14 gp and 5 sp left over when her equipment was purchased. I think our 2gp difference might be on the cheap perfume. How much does that cost per dose (and what is the source? I only see Common and Exotic perfumes listed in the CotCT players guide.)

Other than these small things, she looks really good. Thanks!


Ambriel is the last PC to be reviewed now.

My PHB2 is in a box somewhere. Anybody have one handy to let me know what the starting gold for a Knight is supposed to be? It would save me some trouble, thanks!

(If not, I'll have to go on an excavation.) :)


mittean, I haven't finished going over Ambriel yet, but I'll throw out a couple of comments that I have so far...aside from the issue of language which was already raised.

I believe her damage bonus with the earthbreaker should be +3, not +4.

Can you provide the source for the feat Rapid Assault? I can't recall what book that's from.

More to come later, as I check her equipment, but let's start there.

Fixed everything. The cheap perfume was the common perfume from the Player's Guide.

Good man! Thanks, Lazaro!


Demidian, thanks for those tweaks. Chavali looks great now!

Okay, that leaves only Ambriel in need of approval. I still need to go over her skills and equipment. Hopefully, mittean will respond soon and be able to address the other issues I already raised.


Paging mittean, paging mittean.

It was in the Book of Nine Swords. I'll get those changes up, and made into a character profile. Done and done. Thanks.

mittean, I'm going to put the ixnay on material from the Book of Nine Swords, because I don't own that one. Can you choose another feat for Ambriel instead please?


Hey guys, even though there is still one more PC to be finished, I have decided to get the game underway for the other four who are waiting.

LINK: In Character Thread

mittean, we'll have Ambriel catch up with her own intro once she's all finished.

Everybody else, head on over and let's get this thing started! Enjoy! :)

Ill have her caught up tonight. :)

She is done. I haven't chosen a feat replacement yet, but I'll let you know.


I'm hoping metagaia will be able to post an intro for Tanrob soon, then I will advance the IC thread.

mittean, thanks for getting Ambriel's profile completed. I'll take a look at it, and let you know if there are any issues that need to be addressed.


mittean,

Okay, I finished going over Ambriel in detail. Thanks for correcting the things I already mentioned, and for creating a profile for her.

Now, there are a few other things that look like they need attention.

I think her dagger attack should be +3 melee, +2 ranged (not the other way 'round).

I got her skill totals to work out with 2 points left to spend. So, you can go ahead and assign two more skill ranks.

I calculated her weight carried as 51.5 pounds.

I figured her remaining gold as 87 gp, 9 cp.

And, of course, she still needs one more feat.

Please go ahead and have a look at these things, and let me know what you think. I'm eager to get her in on the IC thread.


Everyone, FYI

My goal for this game overall is to advance things every day or two. Right now, I am dragging my feet a bit, because I'd like to get everyone on board in the IC thread as the game commences. Hopefully, no one is losing patience. Thanks!

fixed except for the feat. I'm deciding between a few. :)

mittean, thanks for those fixes! The only problem I see now is that Knowledge (Local) would actually just be a total of +2, because it's a cross-class skill for her.

So that, and she just needs that last feat. Eh, she's close enough to done now. I'll put up her intro on the IC thread in just a little bit.


Okay, mittean, Ambriel's cue is up on the IC thread. Jump on in!

Oh, and everyone, I'll be advancing that thread later today whether everyone has posted yet or not. It's been three days, so that's enough time to wait.


A bit later than hoped, the IC thread has been updated! Go ahead and take the opportunity to chat amongst yourselves in-character and make introductions.

Here's hoping Tanrob will arrive also, before things advance too much further.


I'll be updating the IC thread again tomorrow, so please continue having your PCs talk to one another there. Good role-playing so far, keep it up!


All right, there's a new IC post up, and your hostess has been revealed. I've also decided to just NPC Tanrob for now, in hopes that metagaia will appear sometime soon. I really don't want to dump him from the game, but I am a little concerned, because he has not posted anything on these boards since July 6th. For now, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for a while longer and just NPC Tanrob until further notice.

Game on!


I'll give mittean a little more time to get something posted for Ambriel before updating the IC thread, guys.


Hi guys,

I'll be updating the IC post later on tonight after work, sorry for the delay.

So what happened...has Cry vanished from the face of the earth? I ask because I limit myself to two games as a player and Cry is running both of them.
