This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

You see this Opa? It could be very helpful for you..http://media.wizards.com/downloads/dnd/LoCS_Stats_Next.pdf

Save profs should be INT/WIS not DEX and HD is d6 so Brightleaf should have 8 hitpoints.

Good catch, copy & paste cannibalizing previous chargen is finally catching up to me. Double check to see if everything is right now.

I do have a question about Herbalist Kit. Are you sure you don't mean Healer Kit? Herbalist Kit requires Tool Proficiency in order to allow it to add your Proficiency Bonus to herbalism checks. And Tool Prof is also needed to create antitoxin and create healing potions. And you already don't have Nature, and can't access it RAW, though with your Int you'd be very good at it. It is weird.

Healing Kit, on the other hand, is a Stabilize the Dying/10 uses for everybody.

And Thank you, thank you, thank you, for that link. That .pdf provides a nice pool of monster stats, which will save me lots of conversion time.

EDIT: do you like the distance and ritual, concentration reminders on your spells? seems a useful reference, but i am curious about clutter aesthetics. readable?

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Artifacts of Amber, I just dropped you down to 32.5 gp, and that gets you 2 flasks of good whiskey.

Updated your character with weight distribution, wealth, whiskey, and trinket. Are we good to finalize?

OK, just about everyone else finalized their characters. I'm gonna set up the stage and we're about to start. Last minute items are such:

~ Marley just needs to confirm whether Healer Kit or Herbalist Kit.

~ Dragoner just needs to confirm class' two proficiencies, and last minute shopping.

As to how IC topic will proceed at first, I want the first pages to be a helpful reference for everyone. Later on you can hide new gear and content through Private Messages to me. So not everything needs to be visible on the PC sheet.

IC Topic Beginning Proceedure:

I want Important NPCs as the first few posts. Give me a few minutes for this.

Then players copy & paste their finalized PCs. This is for you to future edit. 1st Lv Originals will remain available here, just in case of edit accidents.

Next I will set a mere handful of scenes -- you don't all have to start at the same tavern, at the same bulletin board, let alone cooperate on the same quests. Some already expressed preference where to start, and you can too.

Finally you are all free to go at it.

It has begun! ... /gratuitous Mortal Combat reference

I did mean herbalist kit I'm just unclear if can use it (not understanding tool profiencencies in general to be honest). It fits my concept of how Wood Elves are in your setting.  But healer kit is fine if that fits better.  And yes I love those spell reminders. I should have taken Fearie Fire instead of Silent Image but it's not on the spell list at the top of the spell section. No big deal.

Tools are usable without proficiency, but only for functions that don't require proficiency.

Tool Proficiency grants you your Level Proficiency Bonus to tool specific skill checks - which in turn may be used in a wide variety of skill checks or attribute checks depending on the task.

e.g. You cannot use Herbalist Kit unskilled to make antitoxin and healing potions. These require Tool Proficiency.

e.g. You can use your Tool: Herbalist Kit to give Lv Prof Bonus on a raw Nature check, where you do not have a skill prof bonus, of a plant.

e.g. You can use your Tool: Herbalist Kit to give Lv Prof Bonus on your skilled Nature check, where you do have skill prof bonus, of a plant. This reads like Double Proficiency.

e.g. You can use Herbalist Kit unskilled, on a Nature check unskilled, of a plant. You test with neither proficiency bonus, just your raw stat mod.

e.g. You can use Herbalist Kit skilled or unskilled, on a skilled or unskilled Arcana (INT), Survival (WIS), Deception (CHA), or even plain CON attribute check (laborious preparation), to prepare an herb based thing, on GM judgment.

Basically it is an opportunity to do certain tasks that work better with tools. They don't let your experience help you -- add your Lv Prof Bonus -- until you are skilled with the tools. Advanced tasks that require tools cannot be done without tool proficiency.

You'd be testing most stuff with just your stat mod, essentially.

Meh, lets go for it given it's BASIC. There are no Druids or Rangers around. She looks good to go.:)

Cool beans! Herbalist Kit it is.

Audited and added racial Perception to your skill profs.

If everything is good, finalize, and copy & paste to IC topic.

If you want to add flavor to style and bio, you can term your Component Pouch to a skinned otter. Would add flavor to your sacred wheel and general indigenous look. Socially it's D&D Wild West in a Blender, sans gunpowder. All races have representation on the Indigenous v. Pioneer divide, too.

Predominant culture is Native American - Ute. Conflict between traditionalists and modernists crosses the Ute heavily, just like every other group moving in.

I'll have to do the cut and paste with a bit of flavor tomorrow when I have computer access again.  But yeah otterskin with feathers fetish bag for a spell component pouch? Works nicely consider it yoinked. Plus that kit gives me a unusual downtime interest instead of the typical choice... very elven wouldn't you say?

@LV,  this is fun.,..Opa is probably going to kill Brightleaf  easily and horribly but look beyond the obvious.  I'm an elf and a damn good one.  She has serious emergent possibility if she survives if you take her trait, bond, ideal, flaw and trinket into account.:)

Thanks for helping me last night btw sir. Because of that all that I have to do is a simple cut and paste and a fast background tomorrow. Haven't figured out how to do the image thing though.:)

That is what we are supposed to do as players, helping each other. :) With images, do you mean using image tags or finding an image?

Don't hate, but the image of Bright Leaf I have in my mind:



Terribly trite, I know.

Actually you're close but I am envisioning more Amerind with reddish or blonde hair.If you could walk me through image attachment (tags) tomorrow I should be golden.  That image is too Irish. Brightleaf is a wood elf. I see her dressed in buckskin with fetishes like a shaman.  But images would be good also because you really almost got it on your first attempt. At worst I'd go with that but I don't see her as having white skin.

Though that is a perfect High Elf Eldritch Knight, her expression and stance is perfect for Brightleaf though.:)
