@Boss_smiley: why not play a shaman from the playtest, they use wisdom to cast.
Quick question... If I took a weapon with this trait, probably a scimitar or Falchion, would you grant proficiency with that weapon? Definitely okay if the answer is no.
Campaign trait: Reclaiming your Roots
Benefit: You begin play with one of: a piece of jewelry worth 350 gp, a masterwork weapon or armor worth no more than 350 gp, or a wand containing any 1st-level spell (CL 1st) with 20 charges remaining.
If you ever lose this item, you suffer a –1 penalty on Will saves for 1 year due to depression at the loss.
On a second note, same subject, I'm wanting to take a Falchion, for the Masterwork heirloom weapon. The total cost would be 375gp, and the trait says no value over 350, if I covered the additional 25gp out of my starting gold would that be okay?
I'm probably going to play a Half-Orc, to get the proficiency. If I was able to get the proficiency, then I will be playing a human.

Still around, just workin out the details on my monk.
So, anyone still there? I am almost done with my Cavalier, what about everyone else? Dr.Evil still around?
Here is the link to the alias of Zuhra
The fluff is all written down as a first draft, it should be a bit less all over the place after I get some time to make some corrections (during the weekend).
I've got this character mostly statted up. I was just waiting on the GM ruling for my question above. I'll simply proceed, and assume that I will be okay taking the Falchion as my heirloom. If not, then I will probably take the Finding Haleen trait, and might play as a human.
Im still around. just have to work up a decent backstory. but Alister is done.
I'm still here, the weekend got crazy for me but I'm back. I'll have my character up tonight or tomorrow.
@Celtic: The Shaman could work for the concept but I'm looking for a more hex-heavy character.
Do you guys think we need to start looking for a different DM?
weekend busy for me as well, my monks mostly done, will finish profile tonite.
I'll PM DoctorEvil, see if he's still interested.
I am here. Sorry for the delay. I was away from home last week, and didn't have good access. Then a busy weekend on top of it.
Geriatric - I would say no, to question number 1, the weapon you inherited doesn't grant proficiency. But yes to question number two, you could subtract the difference in value from your staring gold.
Celtic Circle - I will be building her in Hero lab today, and proffer any questions. Looks good at first blush, however.
I will review the rest of your stuff the same way. Looking forward to the finalized characters.
Great! Thanks DM.
I'm glad, and relieved, to see you're still with us!
I'll finish building the character out today.
Good to know that everyone is still in! I am surprisingly excited about this character, should be fun to roleplay.
I'll get my monk's profile up tonite.
Ok Celtic Circle - here are my questions about your build
1. Name? Didnt see one.
2. Languages. Due to +1 INT mod, you should add one. Kelish and Common are free to you.
3. Skill points - Shouldn't you have 6? I only see 5 spent (diplomacy, SM, Ride, HA, and Survival).
4. Survival is NOT a class skill for you, so you should be at +1 there.
5. For some reason my HL didn't want to give you a bonus of +3 on Diplomacy, but only +2. Do the traits not stack since they are same type of bonus?
6. Camel HP - i have them at 20. 8 first level, 5 at second, +2 at each level for CON, plus Toughness (3hp).
7. Animal tricks - As a cavalier, I think you want your animal to have the Combat Riding trick which comes with a set of 6 sub-tricks: Attack, Come, Defend, Down, Guard, and Heel. That means you can only select 1 additional trick to learn at this level. Need to choose between exclusive, hunt, and stay.
I think that's it. Lots of little details, but nothing earth-shattering. She (the nameless one) looks fun to play, and I've never seen anyone take a camel mount (or animal companion before) so that will be fun.
eh, scratch #1, I found her name in a post below: Zuhra
Zen I also looked at Alister LeBlanc.
There are several issues here, some of which are rather key:
1. This should be a 20 pt buy, not 25. You'll have to re-work his ability scores which will change some other stuff too.
2. Race - looks like halfling, but mythweavers sheet says elf?
3. Alignment says LG, but that would be a bit odd for a rogue.
4. Only has 1 trait, can get another base trait, and still requires 1 LoF campaign trait
5. Halfling adds +1 racial bonus to all saves
6. Languages can be added to equal INT modifier
7. Favored class bonus - doesn't look like you chose either the hp or skill point.
8. Looks like you are one skill point short, but aht may change when you re-work your abilities.
9. Height - at 4' this would be the tallest halfling on record. 2'8 + 2d4 for height
10. Not sure what a Thief Kit is. Rogue Kit I have, but then you don't have all the components listed.
LMK if you ahve questions.
Hiya
1. Zuhra, you can check out the alias, it is clearly written there... although I am still searching for the camel's name.
2. Thanks, took Gnoll.
3. Well, yes, normally, but I selected Heart of the Sun as an alternate racial trait which replaces the +1 skill point/level.
4. Corrected.
5. Oops, I was certain they stacked. Changed the bonus selected for missionary (now on sense motive).
6. Oh, interesting, I though that the first hit dice was not maxed for companions.
7. I looked at the combat riding trick, but somehow I prefet the individual tricks that I took. Is that a problem? Would she still be able to direct the camel into battle? Also, with the attack trick, can the rider tell the camel to make his special attack? What is the rate of the special attack? 1/hour as in the monster manual?
Thanks for looking over the character, I do think she will be fun to play (although, battlewise, I think it will be a good challenge).
Celtic
1. Got it, I suppose Joe isn't going to work?
2. Ok
3. Oh, I didn't see that before. Corrected my version
4. ok
5. okay with me to change focus of trait.
6. Not sure if I can find it in canon either way. Let's go my way for now, if we find a post or link that changes it we will go with that.
7. combat riding will really help you with riding the camel into battle. A non-trained mount takes a DC 20 Ride check if you ride into a battle. If you fail you can do no action except control the mount in that round. A trained mount waives that requirement. (see spoiler below, bold type mine) The final decision is up to you, but would think not having Combat Training would be quite a drag.
Here's spazmodeus' monk.
Profile layout's straight from Herolabs, will clean it up.
Also, still working on fluffy bits.
All changes have been done (took Cambat riding trick). Fluff is pretty final, there will be a few changes to make it easier to read but that's it.
Here is the crunch for my witch. I don't have time at the moment to write out the statblock so I just linked to the mythweavers sheet I used. Everything should be kosher, I made her middle-aged so the abilities might be a bit wonky but I left a note about it at the bottom of the sheet. I was also wondering if the DC bump from Gnoll Killer will apply to her hexes against gnolls?
Similarly fluff isn't up yet but she will basically have been enslaved shortly after reaching adulthood after a gnoll attack. After being traded between a number of gnoll tribes she ended up working in a human's household for a number of decades. Eventually she found she was able to manifest her will directly on the world, an ability that solidified when she first made contact with her familiar, a scorpion that had stung a child within the household. Once she learned how to control her abilities she killed her master and escaped in the night, taking basically all the equipment she has now.
Opened a campaign thread and discussion tab for you to move this discussion/character building to. You can post there either IC or OOC for Discussion.
Once everyone is built and ready we can commence.
Horum is good to go. Fully checked off.
Checking out Gran next.
Gran
1) Looks like a 26 pt buy. Your stats need to be net of racial and age modifiers for starting character.
2) Scorpion familiar - can get a skill point and FEAT if you want
3) Needs patron and then spells known
4) slingstaff - while this is a halfling weapon, it still counts as Martial and witch can only use simple, you will take a proficiency penalty with it if you use.
5) I have no issues with the higher DC for hexes vs gnolls.
sorry for the delay DM, I will have Hadiyah finished up and posted today.
I'm going to be switching Hadiyah to a Human. Sorry for the delays.
No worries, want to post in the other thread when you have Hadiyah ready?
I haven't seen any reply/response from Zen about Alister since I posted Wednesday. Think they are still in?
