Only things that weren't fixed here were that one of her 14 scores should be a 15 (either Str or Wis), her crossbow range increment should be 80 feet, and she needs a specific Shugenja School chosen with her Elemental Focus. The choices for Air Shugenja are the Asahina School or the Soshi School. Your spell selection below looks like it uses the Soshi School, so note that next to your Element Focus.

                         Weight 44lb

light: 58, medium: 59-116, heavy: 117-175

An inkpen costs 1 silver piece (though ink is 8 gp as you listed). Paper costs 4 silver per page, so 10 pages is 4 gold pieces, not 2. After those changes are made, you still have 25 gold and 9 silver left to spend. You also need to add a set of clothes to the list of equipment.

You don't have any bolts listed for your crossbow. Some waterskins would be rather important to carry around. Another trail ration and some fishing hooks could be slightly helpful for spending the last of the silver.

Also, note that although you are not proficient in armor, you could still wear some if you wanted. There's no samurai culture in the new world to make it taboo for a shugenja to wear armor. Leather armor has no armor check penalty, is only 10 gold pieces, weighs 15 pounds, and wouldn't interfere with your divine spells. Although it would put you at medium weight carried, you could easily remove your backpack in combat to fix that and avoid being slowed down by it. Similarly, a tent might be handy for keeping you dry, but it's heavy so it would result in a medium load.

Your weights listed are off in a few places. A quarterstaff weighs 4 pounds. A light crossbow also weighs 4 pounds. A scroll case is one-half pound. So your current weight is 48-1/2 pounds.

Spell DC: 4 (Cha) + Spell Level +10 base +1(conditional; Air)

Shugenjas Spells:

Level 0: (5/day)
Cure Minor  Wounds
Stun
Resistance
Detect magic
Ghostly sounds 

Level 1: (4/day)
Disguise self
Burning hands
Sleep

Age: 19
Height: 1.8 meters
Weight: 60 kg

Skin: Tanned

Metliz is a cheerful person, she loves walking under the sunlight

and running in the forests, he uses her hair wild, no quite clean,

but any defect she have, vanish when her shiny smile apears in her

face.

Only rules errors here are that the 0-level Soshi school spell is Daze, not Stun (in English anyway, dunno if there's any difference in Spanish), and that you cannot have the Resistance spell, due to that being an Earth spell and you being an Air Shugenja. So replace that spell.

Kaznak's Review

Okay, I think I've got my character done. I put all the effects of the Dragontouched feat in the "Special Abilities: Other" section. So here's Kaznak Valignat Garkuun

Name: Kaznak Valignat Garkuun
Player: Dragonwriter

Race: Dwarf (dragonblood subtype)
Class: Dragonfire Adept
Level: 1
ECL: +0 mod/total 1

Init: +7
Speed: 20 feet
BAB: +0
Mel: +2
Rng: +3
Fort: +7
Refl: +3
Will: +4
===================================

Minor error: spent 1 point too many on ability scores; either Str, Dex, Wis, or Cha needs to drop 1 point, which will subsequently reduce the relevant ability modifier by 1. Make sure to adjust the other stuff modified by whichever score you lower.

Also, you wear armor but aren't proficient in it, so apply the -1 ACP to your attack roll modifiers.

Armor, Clothes: Studded Leather Armor (+3 AC, Max DEX +5, -1 ACP, 20 lbs, 10 GP), Explorer’s Outfit, signal whistle around neck

-----------------------------------
Container: Backpack
Contents: Bedroll, 50 feet of silk rope, artisan’s tools, 14 days of trail rations, 3 waterskins,

Container: Belt Pouch
Contents: 1 waterskin, 1 flask of acid

Container: Sack
Contents: coinage

-----------------------------------
Money
PP: 0
GP: 11
SP: 1
CP: 0
Gems/Other: 0
-----------------------------------

Studded Leather is 25 GP, not 10 (plain leather is 10). It should also have its ASF chance marked, since it affects your Invocations (not that it matters much with Endure Exposure, since that one's got a long duration and isn't likely to be activated in combat). Factor the -1 ACP into your attack modifiers, since you're nonproficient in the armor. Also, your attack lines should probably include the option for "or +3 ranged" and the shortspear entry should probably have a "or 1d6+3 two-handed" damage option listed.

You should have 6 gp remaining, which needs to be spent, since you won't actually enter play with any money. Remove the money section.

Possible ways to spend the 6 GP might be another set of artisan's tools (can't brew beer with a portable forge and anvil! Or forge anything with a portable distillery...), a pick, a shovel, a grappling hook or two, more waterskins, or whatever. As a dwarf, you might very well want to start with at least one gallon of ale/beer, which is 2 silver and 8 pounds (plus 3 cp and 1 pound for the clay jug it comes in). Maybe just add a second set of artisan's tools, 3 jugs of ale, 3 hunks of cheese (1 silver and 1/2 pound, each), and 1 piece of chalk to your gear?

In any case, if Kaznak himself doesn't start with any beer, the female dwarf of the First Generation certainly will.

===================================
Description (include Age, gender, height, weight, physical description):
Kaznak was created with straight, close-cropped and coarse fiery red hair to go with his unusually pale skin. Despite only having existed for a period of a few days, he looks to be a fully-formed adult hill dwarf of age 40. He stands at about 4’4” and looks to weigh about 150 pounds, underneath his gear. His beard juts straight down from his chin to the middle of his chest, and he’s learned to tie and braid it to keep it down and under control, which was very helpful when he learned just what his god-granted talent was…

Kaznak’s god created him without a way to make himself warm or comfortable when the cold of night came about, which greatly annoyed the displaced new dwarf. So, when trying to light a small fire from wood he had collected and piled together, his frustrations reached their boiling point until he began shouting angrily at the wood. Much to his surprise, a gout of flames burst from his mouth during his rant, igniting the small pile (and nearly setting his beard on fire)! It was then that his god spoke to him, saying, “Kaznak, this is my gift to you, my creation. Use it well, use it as my other children will, to defend the weak and helpless and burn evil to a cinder. As another gift, you will be able to shield yourself and any you meet from your cleansing breath and also from the cold. Be warm, my child, and be safe,” and with that, the voice was gone. But in the message was a slight amount of buried knowledge… The name of the speaking god, the name of Bahamut. And with that knowledge came some understanding, and so Kaznak set out from the small glade he had called home for a day or two to find others.

In the few days since then, Kaznak’s clothes have gotten a little torn, but they show no real sign of weather-wear. His face is cheerful and his dark brown eyes are usually wandering, picking out little details in his surroundings. However, the dwarf does have 5 small spears strapped to his back, over his right shoulder, and he wears a suit of studded leather armor that looks rather sturdy.

I'll PM you the Dragontouched feat and Endure Exposure invocation.

Got the PM.

Your current load is 86 pounds, plus whatever is added from spending the coins as noted above.

You'll have to choose a lawful good patron deity when you work out your background, since I'm requiring it of non-animist divine casters and certain others in the First Generation. Given that your chosen main weapon is a greatsword, I'd say Heironeous is out as an option (he'd leave you a longsword or battleaxe if it were hiim), so maybe Ilmater, Nobanian, Torm, or Heimdall, depending on his background/personality? Heimdall is a norse god of vigilance and such in Deities & Demigods; the other three are Faerunian gods in the FRCS.

You spent 250 gold instead of the 240 alloted. Ditch the mirror to fix that. Also, you might want to consider replacing 2 trail rations or the rope for a second waterskin (maybe ditch both for a third waterskin?), since each waterskin only holds half a day's worth of water.

Also, you're carrying 89-1/2 pounds, or just 89 with the mirror removed.

Starting age should be 15, the minimum for a young adult human.

That's all. Very little to fix, and just very minor things. Don't rush to finish the bit of background, since you'll have until sometime next week (probably Monday, maybe later depending on circumstances) before we actually start play.

Sidenote: We have a lotta smiths in the group....black, weapon, armor, etc....mostly weaponsmiths. At least there'll be no shortage of weaponry available; all you'll need is some metal and such to craft more armaments, and could even Aid Another for each other to speed up the process for a single weapon, or each craft a separate weapon. However, there's a distinct lack of Craft (bowmaking) skills around.....I'll probably have the female elven NPC be a bowyer/fletcher, so the group can go to her to barter for bows and arrows later.

Flamekin and Brightsouls

So, to clarify for myself: You approve of anything garnered from the Wizards website, as well as anything you can access?

If this is correct, I've an idea I'd like to try, if your game has room. Most of it comes from the SRD or wizards 3.5 material, but the race and class comes from Enworld's download section.

Fissionessence (I believe that's how it's spelled) created a Flamekin race and an associated racial class I'd like to try. They are the second page of enworld's download section, I believe for free.

Well, frankly, they look broken.

However, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and allow you to try it. But, who knows, maybe in play it won't turn out to be as broken as I think. At least you're not proposing a Flamekin Monk.

Flamekin will need a +1 Level Adjustment, however. Their Heat of the Flame ability and their Elemental type (as they cannot possibly have any other type, though the PDF author seems to try dodging that inevitability by never specifying their creature type), are too much for an LA+0 race, considering their other racial traits (and maybe even without those). So they get the standard benefits of the Elemental type (as listed in the SRD) and will be LA+1 in this game. You'll start with the same 1st-level GP and 0 XP as everyone else, but the Level Adjustment will delay your further advancement slightly.

Also, no Fortitude save DC is listed for their maintaining consciousness when submerged in water; I'm setting the DC at 15, +1 per previous round spent submerged, with 1 minute outside of water resetting the DC. I've read the Lorwyn novel; they ought to need a Will save just to cross water and to avoid panicking if submerged, but I'll ignore that issue.

 

[rangerjohn]

I know someone who would like to play a monk. He also likes to play females, so you may get your couple.

Unfornately, my friend changed his mind and declined the oppurtunity.

 

[rangerjohn]

Arkhandus, can you please check Falryn now? I think I've addressed all your isssues.

 

[rangerjohn]

He so does love swinging a hammer so any "pieces" you need made let me know

I meant thier both apprentice smiths, so they will together at the forge and while adventuring.

 

[Dragonwriter]

Minor error: spent 1 point too many on ability scores; either Str, Dex, Wis, or Cha needs to drop 1 point, which will subsequently reduce the relevant ability modifier by 1. Make sure to adjust the other stuff modified by whichever score you lower.

Also, you wear armor but aren't proficient in it, so apply the -1 ACP to your attack roll modifiers.

Oops. Okay, dropped WIS by 1, fixed the skills. And applied the -1 penalty. I just forgot to do that, since my breath weapon is my main attack. Attacking with a weapon is my absolute last resort (that, or running away as fast as my dwarven legs will carry me ).

Studded Leather is 25 GP, not 10 (plain leather is 10). It should also have its ASF chance marked, since it affects your Invocations (not that it matters much with Endure Exposure, since that one's got a long duration and isn't likely to be activated in combat). Factor the -1 ACP into your attack modifiers, since you're nonproficient in the armor. Also, your attack lines should probably include the option for "or +3 ranged" and the shortspear entry should probably have a "or 1d6+3 two-handed" damage option listed.

You should have 6 gp remaining, which needs to be spent, since you won't actually enter play with any money. Remove the money section.

Possible ways to spend the 6 GP might be another set of artisan's tools (can't brew beer with a portable forge and anvil! Or forge anything with a portable distillery...), a pick, a shovel, a grappling hook or two, more waterskins, or whatever. As a dwarf, you might very well want to start with at least one gallon of ale/beer, which is 2 silver and 8 pounds (plus 3 cp and 1 pound for the clay jug it comes in). Maybe just add a second set of artisan's tools, 3 jugs of ale, 3 hunks of cheese (1 silver and 1/2 pound, each), and 1 piece of chalk to your gear?

In any case, if Kaznak himself doesn't start with any beer, the female dwarf of the First Generation certainly will.

Originally, I was planning on Leather Armor and forgot to change the price line... Fixed. And I spent the remaining 6 GP on another set of tools, some booze and more food. It also brought his current load up to 109 lbs. (If there's any remainder, I think there was 1 CP or something, I'm not going to worry about it.)

So everything's fixed up, I think.

So heres my first draft buildwise. Hope the formatting is right as its my first time trying to use the enclosed boxes haha

A few issues:
1. I was thinkin the same on the UMD skill and it seems as since i have no pre-req concentration is a little unnecessary as i'll never use spells or would using a device (i.e. pressing a button or whatnot) count for attack of oppurtunity/interruption? Also open lock might be a decent skill to tack on as this guy is essentially a tinkerer so lock mechanisms seem up his alley.

2a. With using devices what action would switching from device to device or device to weapon use as if i can't take feats like quick draw maybe this would result in me being very slowed down due to all the switching.

2b.Also in the device thread would my starting item be ok? goggles that cast flare take up slot for eyes and maybe cloak or hat slot for fuel. I also considered a shocking grasp gauntlet which could be used in combat as i have buckler leaving my hand free. Having a hard time finding players who've used this class and hence sample items.

2c. Could i utilize devices in conjunction with weapons or armor like a flare mace or something as the picture from MoF has the guy holding what looks to be an augmented x-bow. For example electric jolt on armor set off when i'm hit or acid splash on crossbow optional in place of a bolt.
