I'd been looking forward to this for a long time, but with my current focus on L4W I'd completely missed it.

Will give it a good look over... assuming Chauzu approves of course....

Actually, since my primary stat of 15 only gives me a +2 to hit...
Alchemical items offer some interesting possibilities....

The only problem, really, is that they ain't cheap.

I like that a lot. Those are definetely allowed...


So how do you guys feel about dice rolls? Do you want me to do them all, or do you guys want to use another source, such as one of those website rollers?

1) Hey Leif, I don't wanna be a party pooper but I just read on one of the forums (fora??) that clerics don't get shield proficiency unless they buy the feat.

2) Chauzu; as to dice rolls I'll go with whatever you want. I am quite used to using Invisible Castle so I don't mind. In one of the other games I am playing the GM rolls for Initiative which does help to speed things up.

Sheet still a work in progress

My theme is "avoiding to hit rolls" (since I have a primary stat of 15 I won't be making too many of those successfully)
Should I consider putting con as 15=2=17 and having an Int of 12?
Healing Infusion: Curative Admixture is a really cool power to lead off with in a fight, but spending a healing surge for 3 temp hit points is weak. 4 is also weak, but its a bit better.... slightly better anyway.... (a properly constructed character would be granting 5~6, which puts it on par with a mages healing surge and makes it an intelligent power to use)

[sblock=Someone help me with feat ideas... please!]

can I just say... low stats make buying feats tricky: Feats I'm not allowed to have
Armor or shield proficiency, Quick Draw, Far Shot, Far Throw hmm..

For some reason I was really enamored of buying Quick Draw (the idea of having spent years rapidly whipping up alchemical stuff seemed to fit... but with only 1 stat above 12 I can't really do that...)

Maybe I should take alchemy? But if we're starting off equipment-less in a dungeon then maybe that's a terrible idea?

As far as I can tell my choices for feats are: toughness and..... that's it really. I can't think of anything else in character (that's legal anyway...)[/sblock]

[sblock=For Renau1g -- Feedback on Character sheet]
I think it's easy to fill in, but could be tricky to refer too, it's very vertical... Have you had a chance to look at GK's template? It's pretty compact.

I have little love for the code window... I find scrolling inside of second window time consuming.
I think you can get the same effect by setting font=courier new.
edit: grr deletes extra spaces... but I think it'll work on the wiki

And, I think we need to show a lot more math and/or move the math down (so all the skill modifiers go down; and we should probably actually include all the skills)
(I hate checking and guessing... and having lots of different numbers when I want to refer)

[sblock=Background]
Name: Vondal Darrakson
Class: Wizard

[sblock=Appearance]

[/sblock]

Background:
Vondal was always interested in the past. From the past glorys of forgotten dwarf strongholds, to the fossils of unknown creatures found only in the deepest dwarven mines. His bright intellect and natural curiosity drew the interest of a local dwarven wizard, who recognized the potential of this curious dwarf.
Under Vestus tutelage, Vondal learned not only forgotten secrets of the past, but also the arcane powers, that will help him to further explore the world.
(One first success in merging his intersts with the arcane arts was the development of his signature spell 'Hungry Maws' [optical varaint of cloud of daggers].)
After finishing his apprenticeship, he was hired by a mining company to idnetify the different kind of stones and minerals they found in their endavours.
Hearing of the oppotunity to explore Stonefast, volunteered instantly for this mission.

Personality:
A curious brave adventurer, with few things in common with the typical bookish wizard. More the Indiana Jones type of a scientist and an explorer he also values the abilities of the men around him.
He shuns the typical wizard garb and favors sturdy leather clothes above robes (level one feat: Armor Proficiency: Leather).
