Oh it's really not a big deal, I just think it will be more fun for the group if we all get to know eachother though how we act. I guess being a ranger you may be right about knowing me as such, but remember that I really have been trained as such....

Well I guess we all know who will likely set off traps by bull rushing forward. I saw that you "give the appearance of being a catuious ranger who wiil fight if need be." Well think of it this way, My PC might confuse that caution with cowadice. In reality, there is a fine line between the two. Only close contact can really allow one from figuring out which is which.

That seems appropriate, especially since your character probably has a different opinion of what being "cautious" is. His idea of being cautious is probably just making sure you put your armor on before facing a hundred drow.

Has anyone heard from Nephtys of late?

Heh..."diplomancy." A new school of magic! AF, I changed my mind -- I want to play a Diplomancer.

Hey, I was looking back through the thread and saw this...

Oh, and I will be using the Fractional Base Bonuses from Unearthed Arcana.

...which I had missed before. Does this apply to BAB and saves? If so I noticed that a few character sheets in the rogues gallery need to be modified, and I might have to look at my saves.

I don't have the unearthed arcana book with me this weekend, so can someone run that variant be me? I think it means that instead of being a fighter 1/ranger 1 with a +2 to fort saves from each one for a +4 you get a +3 like a fighter 2. Am I right?

Ditto. I don't have UA (though I do have AU, which is entirely different, but very cool)...I figure if my saves, etc. need to be adjusted, AmorFati will let me know.

BTW -- "inexpectant."

What it means is that you can look at the mathematical progression and saves for a class and and your BAB and base saves together before rounding. The way it is currently done in the books is that a Cleric one, which has a BAB of +.75 is rounded down to +0, and so is a first level Rogue, so a Cleric 1/Rogue 1 has a BAB of +0. Using the partial system the BAB of that character would be +1.5, which rounds down to +1. As far as saves go, I think you still get the +2 for each level if the class has a good save, but after that you need to make sure that you keep track of when your save is half way between one point and the next since having such an occurencein multiple classes could net you a bonus.

I hope that made sense, and I hope I got the part about saves right. I'm not 100% sure, but I think yours were right Tyreus.

BWT Tyreus, I'm just curious, but do you plan to take Dervish all the way to level 10? (If we live that long of course)

@wgreen-Doh...and some people tell me I'm smart. As far as the partial bases thing goes, I don't think it is a big deal, but I just pointed it out because it will only help people, and not hurt anyone.
