With those stats I should have gone probably rogue
This will be a very interesting game

With those skills, you practically are a rogue. Well except for the important ones traps and locks.

Yes, he seems very much like a swashbuckling fighter. Looks clearly different from the other fighter, which is great!

That was the idea.

If you enjoy (and survive) this playtest, we can advance everyone, and try it at 2nd level, where your fighter options increase. At 3rd level, you should be both clearly a fighter, and clearly different from each other.

EDIT: Actually, belay that. This game is designed to work without everyone having to "level in lockstep", so I'll just pass out XP normally, you can then squander treasure at the rate of 1 gp = 1 xp if you so desire, and I'll run the next scenario at whatever level you happen to be. Humans get +10% to earned xp, rounded up, and +10% to xp for squandering treasure, rounded down.


RC

So I'm playing the sorcerer, yes?

Yes.

Which of these rules is accurate?

(PG 70) Limitations: A sorcerer can cast spells in armor,
but must make a Concentration check as a Reaction to
do so (DC 10 + spell level + Armour Check Penalty). If
this check fails, the spell is lost without effect.

(PG 71) If a sorcerer is wearing armor when casting a
spell, he or she must succeed in a Concentration
skill check (DC 15 + spell level + Armour Check
Penalty) or the spell is lost without effect.

DC 10. The other text should have been fixed, and will be in the future.

Arcane Mark
Transmutation
Class and Level: Conjurer 0, Diviner 0, Enchanter 0,
Necromancer 0, Sorcerer (Eldritch Horror) 0, Transmuter 0,
Wizard 0
Casting Time: Reaction
Components: S
Range: Touch
Target: Creature or object touched
Duration: Permanent
Save: None

This spell allows the caster to inscribe a mark upon any
object or creature. This mark can be created so as to be
either visible or invisible, as the caster desires at the time it
is inscribed. It can be up to 1 square foot in area (if the
surface is large enough to allow this), and consist of up to six
characters. An arcane mark can be inscribed on any surface
without harm to the object or being it is inscribed upon.

So long as a creature or object bears an arcane
mark, the creator of that mark may target that creature or
object with touch spells as though they were ranged touch
spells with a range of 10 feet per Caster Level. Moreover,
an area that contains a caster’s arcane mark always qualifies
as “very familiar” when scrying, teleporting, etc.


Summon Horror I
Conjuration [Evil, Extraplanar]
Class and Level: Sorcerer (Eldritch Horror) 0
Casting Time: Action +4
Components: V, S, XP
Range: 30 feet
Target: Summoned creatures
Duration: 2 rounds plus 1 round per Caster Level
Save: None

By casting this spell, the sorcerer conjures up an elder horror
to fight in combat or to perform other services. The horror
appears from thin air instantaneously, and requires
Reactions from the caster to be directed, magically
understanding any simple directions the caster gives it.

At the end of the spell’s duration, roll 1d6. On a
roll of “1”, the horror remains on the material plane, and
leaves the caster, seeking to follow its own agenda. On a
roll of “6”, the horror attacks the caster, seeking to drag him
back into the realms of the eldritch horrors. Otherwise, the
horror disappears back into thin air.

Each type of horror requires its own specific
casting of the spell, which must be learned in order to
summon that horror.

When this spell is gained, the caster learns how to
summon one of the following horrors. Thereafter, he learns
to summon another horror automatically with every second
sorcerer level gained, until he knows how to summon all the
listed horrors for this spell. This spell summons a type of
horror, not a specific individual, so it remains effective for
future castings even if the summoned horror is slain.

The horrors that can be summoned are:
Camazhee, Choking Horror, Cold Flyer, Dagonite, Hooked
Horror, Tentacled Horror (Larval), and Wormling.

Statistics can be found in The Big Book of
Monsters.

XP Cost: 100 xp.
