Perform is not a class skill for sorcerers unless I am missing something.

oops.

How do you get +5 with no ranks? Your Wisdom is only a 12 and even with the Alertness feat as a bonus from the familiar that only brings you to +3.

The character originally had a 16 wis on the first run-through, i must've not changed everything.

The item that grants a bonus to Constitution is an amulet of health. (snip) *No to Vest of Resistance*

AH, so I take it you'll be axing the body slot affinities (DMG page 288)? You may want to point that out to people then. I usually assume that if a rule isn't Optional that it's allowed unless stated otherwise.

Too much? Damn, that passes on the low end for most of the characters I see..

No worries, I'll think up something else and throw it out there to see what Airwalkrr thinks I'll probably go more straight melee with a little ranged thrown in there.

BTW, I noticed that I seem to be disagreeing with you on a lot of things, it's nothing against you, I just am very opinionated and like sharing my opinion. Please don't take it the wrong way, and if you do have a problem, just tell me and we'll work it out, k?

Sorry about the delay, but I've been busier than I thought I would be lately.

Appearance:
Mellena normally looks unkept and a bit frazzled. She had shoulder-length brown hair, typically in a ponytail, and a square and pale face. Mellena is thin and light, but normally weighed down by her trademark backpack full of scrolls, one for every occasion. When adventuring, Mellena dresses for it, wearing plain and durable clothing even if it does look somewhat "mannish".

Personality:
Mellena is obsessed with knowledge, and has devoted her life to gathering as much of it as she can. Because of this, she is inquisitive and stubborn, and will not take no for an answer. Normally this takes the form of books and scrolls, which she has an extensive collection of, maintaining a library in her home village. Mellena will literally go to the ends of the earth for an interesting book. She is interested in observing others, and as such is normally as quiet and unobtrusive as possible, preferring not to get involved in conversations. This results in her having very little social skills or force of personality. Mellena genuinely has good intentions, believing that once she understands how the world works she can help it, but oftentimes the means get ahead of the end.

Backround:
Mellena read her first book, a storybook passed down through the family, when she was five. She was instantly hooked, and throughout her childhood constantly tried to learn more information. After exhausting every opportunity in miles, including a mage's college, Mellena refused to call it a day -- she wanted to find ancient knowledge, knowledge that was lost to people or was inaccessible. However, she was rapidly running out of money. She filled both needs by joining up with a group of treasure-hunting adventurers. The business of adventuring has taken her to many ruined keeps and tombs, which she has searched high and low for lost knowledge. Mellena even opened a library in her home town, a small river town named Penbrook, to hold all of her tomes.[/sblock]

Edit: Is done now, and fixed a couple things.

AH, so I take it you'll be axing the body slot affinities (DMG page 288)? You may want to point that out to people then. I usually assume that if a rule isn't Optional that it's allowed unless stated otherwise.

Look, I don't know what kind of games you are used to playing, but this DM does not appreciate snide comments and attempts by players to bully him around. I may be misinterpreting your tone (which happens on the internet), and if so I apologize, but it is absolutely unacceptable for you to insult my intelligence in this way. I am more than familiar with the rules. If you disagree with the way the core rules work, then you may change it when you are running the campaign. Changing the way a core item works is an Optional rule and requires no clarification. And rather than arguing with me, you should accept it an move on.

Sharing your opinion is fine. But several of your posts have had a rude tone, and as a DM I do not put up with it.[/sblock]

 

[airwalkrr]

[sblock=Imerak]It looks good so far, though it seems like you have the minimum number of spells known in your spellbook. You may wish to scribe some of those scrolls into your spellbook first. As per the core rules, you may do so at the cost of 100 gp per spell level. I.e. scribing a scroll of dimension door into your spellbook would cost 400 gp. One other thing. Could you list which abilities you gain from loremaster? I do not know which ones you selected.[/sblock]

Ok, the party is assembled.

Steve Gorak - Gimlak, male dwarf cleric/thaumaturgist
-Sin- - Haradras, male halfling monk/rogue
Jemal - Kiera, female human sorcerer
Imerak - Mellena, female human wizard/loremaster

Looks like an interesting group.

Salthorae: I will let you join if you can get me a character within 48 hours. Regarding multiclassing, two classes is usually more than enough. I will only allow three if the concept requires it (such as fighter/wizard/eldritch knight).

 

[-SIN-]

Appearance, Personality & Background:

Haradras tries to project his purity of body and mind through his external appearance, always clean shaven, neat and carrying minimal supplies for the job at hand, and wearing only plain garments. He will usually try to remain somewhat 'hidden' where ever he goes, allowing him to evaluate a situation fully before dedicating himself to any particular action, or even pass by un-noticed. He has an uncanny love for life, knowledge and travelling, causing Haradras to be somewhat 'full of beans' to the extent that he's usually the first riser and last to sleep, preferring to utilise every second. Haradras has few regrets, besides those of his youth (spent thieving), although he has found a positive way of using the skills he picked up in his less glorious past. One particular encounter of note was an attempt to relieve a passer-by of his money pouch which went wrong. Haradras as a result ended up severly injured & unconscious. Upon awakening he found himself within a monestary, being healed by the man he had tried to pickpocket. Haradras stayed within the monestary for several years as the elder monks student, learning all he could, whilst purging himself of all ill will. Soon after leaving the monestary compound Haradras discovered that by joining an adventuring group, all his needs would be satisfied, and is now an active member in serveral renound adventuring circles and has often teamed up with the same friends.....

FYI, I think I'll increase the number of fighter levels for Gimlak's cohort, since we already have a rogue. I'll do this in the next couple of days.
