Speaking of level ups only one done?? - hmm....

and ghostcat sorry I didn't explain the tracking post very well (good job rolling the HP without modifiers because they might change ) All you need list is the changes to the character for the level obtained and then on your sheet (the first/character post) make the adjustments. If you follow Living Pathfinder it is kind of like that

[sblock=Example]
Level 2:
Class: Fighter(favored)
BAB: +1 to +2
Fort: +2 to +3
Ref: +0 to +0
Will: +0 to +0
Feat: Power Attack
Class Features: bonus fighter feat, bravery +1
HP: +10 = (1d10 - 2 = 8) + 2 [CON] + 16 (Old Total) = 26
Skill Pts: +03 = +02 (Class) + 01 (Human) + 03 (Old Total) = 06
Skills: Diplomacy(1), Swim(1), Survival(1)

Level 3:
Class: Fighter
BAB: +2 to +3
Fort: +3 to +3
Ref: +0 to +1
Will: +0 to +1
Feat: Additional Traits
Class Features: Armor training 1
HP: +10 = (1d10 - 2 = 8) + 2 [CON] + 26 (Old Total) = 36
Skill Pts: +03 = +02 (Class) + 01 (Human) + 06 (Old Total) = 09
Skills: Diplomacy(1), Handle Animal(1), Ride(1)
[/sblock]

Also don't forget the Favored class spot Using Arveduin as an example...

[sblock=Favored Class Bonus]
Level 1: +1 skill point
Level 2: +1 skill point[/sblock]

This is due to say at level 3 he takes fighter then he would list...

Level 3: n/a

And then back to level 4 for another bonus or an alternate racial feature, etc. just easier for checking on the DM side.

And lastly treasure... since we aren't playing it out here are the spoils.

- wand of shatter (7 charges) (value: 315gp)
- wand of unseen servant (16 charges) (value: 120gp)
- goggles of minute seeing (value: 1,250gp)
- chainmail +1 (value: 1,150gp)
- statuettes x3 (value: 600gp)

So how do we wish to handle treasure division???

HM

 

[Axel]

So we roll for HP at level 1? Or it is max to start?

Answered my own question...max at level 1 it is.

 

[HolyMan]

All good. Saw you rolled a 1 (yikes) hope you average out next level.

Also unless you have added the 1 HP that line should read...

HP: 13 = [2d8=9] + 4 (CON) + 0 (favored class bonus)

Everything else is looking good going just need to double check your skills and then write you in.

[Axel]

Ha! Like I've said before, my dice always hate me. I can love them, or be a cruel master, or never actually touch them (like eDice), yet they nearly always fail me.

I'm tempted to make a random thread and roll 20d20 or so. See what the mean and the median come up as.

Lastly...rolling for HP is my most hated thing about the d20 system. With a point-buy for stats it is the only series of die rolls that stay with for your character's entire career. Almost everything else (bar save-or-die) can be recovered from.

 

[HolyMan]

I get tired of the same old same old when it comes to the HP rules. I think it was this games turn to get the "roll at each level" spot. That is why I went 25 pts and we are using Hero Points.

Let's hope that the first save or die roll that comes along is a good one because you used all your bad rolls on HP.

[s@squ@tch]

Is it still possible to keep Zeke?

 

[fireinthedust]

I'll get on it!


My group playtested a module for me last night. Some hefty revisions for stuff is needed, but that's good. Lots of work to re-do it, I guess~! Now a quick break for a fortnight while I regroup and redo key parts before the next session!

I'll be adding a level of abjurer to Eldariel's class. That's about it, I believe.

I've updated my tracking post. let me know if I got it right this time. Still to update the character.

I've also posted by IC levelling post. Still got to do some shopping once we've spilt our ill-gotten gains.

I hope so too, but wouldn't bet on it.

One of the better alternate HP systems I've seen over the years was:
- Roll HD like normal.
- If less than half maximum (i.e. 4 or less on a d10) then may either
1. Reroll and subtract 1 (min. 1) or,
2. Take 50% (i.e. 5 for a d10 HD).

Essentially it meant if you were feeling lucky, or had a good HP total for your level you could gamble on rolling high, and your character could never be totally gimped by rolling 3 1's in a row and having <25 HP as a level 4 Fighter.

Not that I'm advocating you change, btw! Just sharing the best anti-HP bad roll system I've come across.
