At 30 gp left, you should keep spending.

As far as a tent goes, buy bedroll first, then add tent as long as gold and weight allow. A mess kit also comes to mind. Given your Strength score and gold supply, I think all these would be good.

I normally advise some sort of light source, but you can get by on dark vision, even if it's not optimal. But Flint and Steel is still a worthy purchase. Never know when you need to burn something.

Without going overboard on weapons, a useful extra for the 2h weapon guy is the javelin. One or two of those is handy. Or the chakram, if you prefer, and don't mind the Xena-esque connotation. It's a good throwie, and since your BAB is already +1, you can draw one as part of your move action.

okay, got the bedroll, mess kit, tent, and a pair of javelin.
4gp 7sp left

why is darkvision not optimal? Isn't its range farther than torch?

It's because Darkvision only works in places like the inside of a cavern, where light does not reach. Also, torches don't enhance Darkvision in any way.

Reviewing Jaggo

This is a non-judge review of Jaggo by skydreamz. For play, to approvals are necessary, at least one by a judge. With my reviews, I only edit your character sheet for the most obvious of typos; for the most part I point out things to correct and let you have a go at it. And with any comment, I am not infallible--if you think I have made a mistake, just let me know.

Overview: Mostly solid with only a few issues. Some layout issues, etc, are noted.

Potential Problems:
* In order to get 2 skill points, you seem to have taken your base skill points (2), applied Int modifier (-2), applied the minimum 1 rule, and then added one for favored class benefit. It is unclear to me if this order of modifier application is considered correct--this is the first time I've come across it. I'm going to just point this out and look for a Judge statement on this issue.

Notation Issues/Typos/Calculated Values:
* Character level is noted as 'level, and should be 1.
* Need to include dagger and javelin in the Weapon Statistics section.
* Total Fly skill seems to total to +1 compared to the 0 noted.

Suggestions:
* Might want to include text describing how Power Attack increases as BAB increases.
* A bit more detail on background would be appreciated, but not absolutely required.
* You can streamline your saving throws by simply renaming misc modifiers to the source, instead of double noting as was done.
* Might want to describe your tattoo's, either in a specific or generalized fashion.
* If you express gear costs <1 GP fractionally, the columns are a little easier to add. Ex: 1 sp = 0.1 gp. However, gear seemed correct.

Comments:
* Character seems solid overall.
* Another Paladin for the recent paladinic explosion. :)

NOT YET, pending the resolution of the skill point issue per a Judge. It will also give time for you to consider the Notation Issues and Suggestions.

Whoa, thanks for the review, Aura

that skill point thing, a friend of mine taught me. I thought it has been done everywhere. hahaha

fixed the typos, included the javelins and dagger

applied the suggestions, will describe the tattoo later.

I actually thought to just write Power Attack description as "-1 attack, +2 damage (+3 if two-handed)" so that the wikia page won't be too long. Then I'd just update the description every 4 BAB. Would that be okay?

About the background, I haven't read all the setting's lore. I'm afraid that if I make a too detailed background, there would be many contradictions with the setting. Hence the generalized background.

And the darkvision, I can still see in normal light, right?
epicbob 's post seems to imply that having darkvision means I can only see in the dark

What I'm saying is that it will only ACTIVATE in the dark. You'll still have normal vision if you have a light source of some kind.

Ya, I can't tell if the skill point issue is legit or not. I've not come across this issue before, that is for sure. So I'm just pointing it out and letting a judge take a look.

I'd have to do some reading on what epicbob was talking about with the darkvision. The greater point I was making is with a character who possesses darkvision, having a light source becomes optional, but still has a little value to it. Your call.

PS: Yes, the note about Power Attack improving every 4 BAB was all I was trying to imply on that issue. Nothing fancy.
