Call to the Four Lands

[Lou]

There are some other issues:
1) As you see, I left out 10000gp in cash.

Nightbreeze: Hmmm, you really fit all your stuff WELL inside 65,000 gp, per JA's starting money?!!


JA-What's the mechanism for getting other characters to make magic items? Is it one-to-one before role play or will it be through you after role play starts? I suspect you didn't expect so many characters to take crafting feats.

Hmm, did you really read my character sheet before you started acting as a sheriff?

Well, actually I have to thank you, because I realized that there were 5000gp left. So that's 15000gp now in cash. Any objection?

Oops

Nightbreeze: Sorry, you're not the one, so I fixed the original post.... I seem to have confused you with someone else. You're the one with the portable hole. Great idea--I should have thought of that.

Starting money for the Colony is a bit strange with JA allowing magic item creation as a part of the character generation. Karl started out with expensive magic items, but I realized that didn't fit with the character background. Starting coin will depend on how initial magic item creation works. You could even end up with more gold....

JA told me that this hyear town weren't big enough for TWO sheriffs!

JA gave Pandak permission to craft items for anyone interested, before role play starts. The mechanism we discussed is as follows:

Pandak has 5000 exp./Character who wants him to craft items. Keep in mind his caster level and his spell book (posted in both the RG and the Wiki) - if you want items that require spells not in his book you'll have to pay the price for an NPC to cast it, or cast it yourself as Pandak makes the item. Items Pandak crafts will cost half market value, but the 35000 Market Value Maximum still applies. The 5000 exp cannot be shared between players, and any of it that's left is burned (Pandak doesn't keep it). Experience cost for items is 1/25 the Market Value.

It seems like there's some fairly intense scrutiny of each others' character sheets going on.

As a player who's currently on both ends of the 'imbalance' - that is, one of my characters (Katherine) has a few items that are admittedly well above the average power level of the campaign and another of mine is in a game with a character who has stats and equipment well above the power level of the rest of us - I can tell you that I've been much happier just enjoying the characters I create and leaving the details of the other characters between their players and the GM.

I do completely agree...everyone should mind his own sheet and at most read the other without commenting them...unless the DM requests us to scrutiny the other sheets for errors and such...and as far as I can tell JA never did that.

Hey Leif, if the DM does let you make some wands put me down for a 'cure something' and anything else you can talk him out of.

Don't get me wrong - I need all the help I can get for stuff like "Hey, the Keen property on edged weapons doesn't stack with the Improved Critical Feat." And I'm not trying to get away with anything as far as items or abilities - it's not even a mind your own business thing. I was just pointing out that after struggling with this issue from both sides in other games, I find that I enjoy the games I'm in much more completely when I just enjoy playing the character I made.

On a related note - Pandak's more than happy to help anyone with any item he can make. Don't feel like you have to run it by me unless there's a question about whether or not he can do the work. I'll leave it up to JA to make sure it's all good as far as the game goes. It would be cool if you wanted to credit him on your character sheet. Everything he makes will be smithed with his mark - he takes pride in his work.
