Speaking of fluff what do you think of having Riverwind carrying a "plainsman's sabre" which we use the Falchion crunch for ghostcat? I don't see him carrying an overly large weapon like a great sword.

The sabre would look one-handed, being a thin bladed sword curving near the tip, but plainsman know to get the most of it you need to wield it in two.

Also thinking of giving him a kukri +1 instead of a dagger +1. Just adding to the exotic-ness of plainsman's weapons.

Don't know what to do about his armor at the moment so it is why I am a little stuck. Giving him leather only might bring him up short in the AC department.

Sounds fine to me. Does the Falchion crunch include the reach,trip special abilites?

this also sounds OK.

Normally High level rangers wear Mitheral shirts or Mitheral Full Plate. However, I can't see Riverwind wearing metal armor. Given this is dragonlance, how about Dragonhide armor. E.g. Scale mail or a breastplate.

It is a regular armored coat just with the fancy elven designs and such. So it would be AC 6; Movement 20'; ACP -1 with the following:

Benefit: A person can don it or remove it as a move action (there is no “don hastily” option for an armored coat). If worn over other armor, use the better AC bonus and worse value in all other categories; an armored coat has no effect if worn with heavy armor. The only magic effects that apply are those worn on top.

Falchion doesn't have reach or trip it is a 2d4 dmg(S), 18-20 crit x2 weapon

And dragonhide??? - Maybe after you fight a few dragons - :devil:

How about for now a +1 Hide Shirt Would be AC 5; ACP -2; Movement 30'

and look like that fleece thing in his picture. Later he may want to change to a breastplate or what not after fighting armies of draconians.

Now for a little character updating

Tasselhoff Burrfoot

possum - sorry but you will have to take heirloom weapon as one of your traits - I notice you have none selected yet - the other could be Successful Shirker as a good fit.

Saw you have ranks in Use Magic Device will try and let you get a chance to use them,

But no ranks in Diplomacy. Since it is the "Gather Info" of PF maybe putting one rank in it (to get the Class Bonus) would simulate Tas's ability to go around unnoticed and gather some info here and there. His not great at it (as he is distracted easily) but does manage it now and then.

Think I forgot to add the eerie noise to the hoopak so add this please -

Eerie Noise: Allowed to make a Demoralize attempt as a free action during the surprise round of any combat. Check is +2 only do not use wielder's Intimidate Skill for this.

~~Ability scores I don't see how you spent your points...~~

STR: 10 (2 pts) -2 racial
DEX: 18 (7 pts) +2 racial, +1 level
CON: 14 (5pts)
INT: 12 (2pts)
WIS: 10 (0pts)
CHA: 16 (5pts) +2 racial

~~That is the cheapest way I see it and puts you over by 1 pt. Every other way I try it cost more than 21pts. The stats are good I don't know where you want to change them maybe WIS?~~ Looks like I was wrong we are using 25 pts so it looks like you are 4 pts shy of the 25

Looking at your feats and rogue talents are you looking to make Tas the quick reacting rogue he gets his strikes in early? With all the PCs once combat breaks out it will be in the hands of the "big people" and it looks like to me you wish for Tas to get a chance to fight before - which I think works out great. After the fighting starts he goes support role or wanders around checking out the area.

I wish Taunt weren't a feat and their was some way to add it in under racial abilities but Tas didn't use it much and you could pick it up later if you wanted.

What else... hmmm... Oh no RabbitSlayer yet I think Tas will "find" it, along with The Helm of the Griffon Mane. But for now you have only the regular dagger, sorry.

Speaking of magical items... Caramon up next.

HM

HolyMan · Sep 6, 2011

Character check...

Caramon

Relaly sorry about the lack of magical weapons and stuff BH. Just the way Caramon starts out plus the group missed the 6 +1 swords in another room.

That and the current combat got me thinking. I can picture Caramon "loading up" on weapons after fighting the draconians and getting them stuck. I picture him having a sword on his hip (a blunt weapon on the other side) and two crossing his back. What do you think?

They will all eventually be at least +1 so he would be a walking arsenal of magical weapons.

I see you haven't done HP yet (no one has for that matter) let's see best for this would be to go MAX -2.

FOR EVERYONE: Going to use the max at first level and then MAX -2 every level after first rule for generating HP. So if you have a d8 for your HD then you get 6 + modifiers for HP every level after first.

So for Caramon that is -

HP: 74 [6d10=50] + 18 [CON] + 6 [FEAT] + ?? [FC]

Haven't done your skills I think that should be easy enough. Suggestions from me would be Survival, Profession(soldier), Climb, Swim, Ride, Intimidate, and Know (arcana)

Might want to put your FC bonus into skills.

Gilthanas

Looks like do to the ruling on HP you gain 5 more.

See you have chosen your spells great looks like you are now ready. Sorry it may be a while before Gilthanas jumps into the game. And before that he is NPC'ed for like a bit. But to forgo this I will be pming you the quotes that the group will "need to know" and allowing you to RP the rest as you see fit.

Crunch wise you are missing some languages - here are the ones from DL5:

Qualinesti Elf, Sylvanesti Elf, Common, Gnome, Kenderspeak, Goblin, Hobgoblin

the last two are just Goblin in PF - so you could have all of the above since you get Common and Elven (Qualinesti) free. And then Gnome, Kenderspeak, Goblin, Sylvanesti Elf for having an 18 INT

Weapon stats are off - Rapier (elven longsword) lists STR instead of DEX for attacking (says +7 and I get +9) and a silvered weapon gets a -1 penalty to dmg rolls. CORE pg. 155

And lastly I added up your skill ranks spent and come up with 34 leaving you two unspent ranks.

Know (Arcana)? Did i get that somewhere and miss it?

So I finished Caramon, but I'll proably be trading Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization of his feat list, unless a 'main' weapon comes into hand. So if he is going to become a 'walking arsenal' the Quick Draw feat would be 100% better.

Gondsman · Sep 6, 2011

@HolyMan Yeah, a lot of that stuff was cleanup as I waited on some rulings, like the rapier/longsword. I got the hp, i'll sweep through and work on the rest. Damage on the Dagger should be +2 (STR) -1 (Silver) so i'm not seeing that particular problem
