[QUOTE="Aura, post: 6201946, member: 6747658"] [FONT=Times][SIZE=3][U]Reviewing Lai Tai Liu[/U] This is a non-judge review of Lai Tai. Character sheet only changed where it looked like a true typo with little effect to the character. Otherwise, only recommendations given. This said, there were several typos, seemingly from multiple drafts of the character. All the rest of my usual disclaimers apply. Stuff That Needs Fixin': * Use Magic Device Stat ability and final value both seem incorrect. I get +0 stat (Charisma), +6 final. * Your Mithral Chain Shirt seems too heavy at 20 pounds. However, depending on how you account it (either as adding mithral modifier to a chain shirt, or the specific Mithral Shirt entry), it should be either 12.5 lbs or 10 lbs. I assume there is some precedence for this already? Stuff That Could Be Changed: * If you want, you can have 1 stat point back by purchasing 15 STR/15 INT and putting human and level 4 bonus into STR. However, this would mean not having 18 STR at 1st level, if that is conceptually important. Notation Issues and Typos: * Apparent Typo (fixed): INT bonus listed as +3 for a 15 INT. Changed to +2. * Apparent Typo (fixed): CON bonus listed as +0 for a 12 CON. Changed to +1. * Apparent Typo (fixed): Profession Ability listed as +0 (WIS based). Changed to -1. * Apparent Typo (fixed): Perform Ability listed as +1 (CHA based). Changed to +0. * Damage from Arcane Strike is automatically added in on sling, but same notation is used on staff, where it is not automatically added in. I'd suggest clarifying the sling entry, staff looks good. Comments: * This character is a nice twist on a classic character type. * You had two Archetypes. Had to look them up, but they work together. Guff guff. * Two staff magi in only a few weeks. Staff Magus is the new Summoner? Red is new Blue. * STR 18 magus. You brute. PS: Pretty awesome swim for 1 pt. * The explorer's outfit includes a cloak. If you replace it with the Cloak of Resistance, should the weight of the magic cloak be added in? I have said no in my campaigns, but hold it up as something to consider. So, [COLOR=#ffff00][I]NOT YET[/I][/COLOR], but very close.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
