Re: Important Notices

Is everyone ok with a 2:30 start time?

[Firewind]

Re: Important Notices

Works for me

[Mezlo]

Re: Important Notices

2:30pm eastern I presume? so yeah I can make it but would need to afk if Avalene wakes up for a feeding. Edith will be back around 12:30-1pm pst so I should have no interuptions after that time, but I'm cool with starting early. who knows, she might sleep until Edith gets back.

Re: Important Notices

Re: Important Notices

I'm sitting here editing my DM cheat sheet of player stats and I can't help but notice some conflicting information on a few of your sheets. If you guys wouldn't mind helping to explain them to me, I'd appreciate it. I'm probably overlooking something on a few of them... but on others it seems to be blatantly wrong. I'll be honest... some of these inconsistancies are in your favor to fix while others are not. Regardless, I require explanations for all of them in order to keep an accurate log. I'll add more as I come across them.


Fire:
Unless I'm looking at it wrong, Fire did his math wrong when calculating his Attribute points during the point buy. Using Mezlo as a comparison example (due to having nearly identical stats that alerted me to the issue in the first place) here is what I did to cross-check.

Mezlo stats did this:
10 STR (2)
16 DEX (10) ---> +2 Human Racial Bonus ---> 18
10 CON (2)
16 INT (10) ---> +1 LVL 4 Stat Increase ---> 17
10 WIS (2)
10 CHA (2)
(28 points)

Firewind's stats did this:
10 STR (2)
16 DEX (10) ---> +2 Elvan Racial Trait ---> 18
12 CON (4) ---> -2 Elvan Racial Trait ---> 10
14 INT (6) ---> +2 Elvan Racial Trait ---> 16 ---> +1 LVL 4 Stat Increase ---> 17
10 WIS (2)
14 CHA (6)
(30)

End Result:

Mezlo
10
18
10
17
10
10

Fire
10
18
10
17
10
14<---?

By going in reverse order I've determined that Fire spent 2 extra points on his stats from the start. If I'm wrong, explain it to me... otherwise you need to dock 2 points from somewhere.


Cid:
If I'm not mistaken, your CMD should be 19, not 20. If we're following the CMD forumula of 10+BaB+Dex Mod+Str Mod... yours would be 10+4+3+2=19. If I'm wrong, explain it to me.


Armando:
Your effective Caster level should be 4, not 3. And your shield is missing from your character sheet.


Jarre
Your rolls for Ranged Attack and Damage for your bow appear to be wrong. You formula reads as 1d20+7 when (unless you're calculating in something I'm not seeing) it should be +8. Likewise, your damage formula for the bow is 1d8+3 when it should be +2 (dex modifier to ranged damage) unless I'm not seeing something.

Also... your burden is getting dangerously close to the threshold of Heavy. As a friendly warning, I have said from that start that although I will not enforce sleeping and eating rules on this campaign, I fully intend to enforce burden. Careful how much more you pick up. Recording your armor and weapons in your "possessions" list helps to populate the full burden of your character for easier math. I suggest everyone take a minute to do the same. Although Jarre is the worst offender, others among you are also walking the line.

Also also... blandket? Really?


Mezlo:
Your sheet is still missing a lot of information. To name a few... Caster Level, Speed, Armor Type, Weapon types and sizes, Armor filled out in the appropriate field, weight of various items in your inventory and checked off class skills for both Wizard and Ranger.

That's automatically generated, I definitely have not been filling that in manually. After some fiddling it looks like it is adding my Dodge bonus.

According to the entry I found here:Combat - Pathfinder_OGC
it looks like that's normal.

Re: Important Notices

Elves have -2 to CON. If the math doesn't work out then I typoed somewhere in those calculations, meh take it off my CHA. I really can't afford to lose out on even MORE Hit Points and I have enough points in the "Face" skills to make the hit less noticable..

After further review, that checks out. The same thing is happening to Armando anyway, I just assumed his was some kind of magical Jesus thing.

1. There is no dex bonus to ranged damage, it only applies to the attack roll in vanilla rules.

2. It is a Composite Longbow, which allows him to add his strength modifier, which is 3.

I seem to recall you ruling that worn equipment didn't count against our total weight carried. Did that change or was I simply mistaken?

Make it so. It shouldn't make a ton of difference anyway. So you're slightly less handsome... meh.

I inverted your WIS and CON scores. Once fixed, the problem still exists.

This is why I like you. Touche' on both counts. I neglected to notice the bow was Composite and I had forgotten that I had ruled as such in regards to worn armor and equipment.

Re: Important Notices

I made the change. My Charisma is now 12.

As for the Skill Points, both Armando and I have been going by the Rules As Written and been assigning skill points to all class skills made available by the Class combinations we have (for example taking points in Stealth with a Wizard level). If I recall correctly you were okay with this but if there is a problem with this then by all means let us both know.

The only house rules I remember concerning skills were about which skills you could take 10/20 with.

I'll fix my sheet soon. I forgot about the caster level field. I figured it would update itself when I updated my cleric level.

[Firewind]

Re: Important Notices

Nah you have to do Caster Level manually. it is a pain but it doesn't actually detect that (and only detects class skills automatically if you are a single class)
