[QUOTE="Job, post: 3903681, member: 37196"] OnlytheStrong, Here are some minor questions/comments regarding Wade Watkins's character sheet. I apologize for having so many comments, but I usually nitpick the character sheets at the start so that we don't have problems later. Some of my nitpicks are in your favor, though. :lol: - I count only 36 points expended for your ability scores out of a possible 40, so you have an additional 4 ability points that you can add. The extra ability point for 4th level doesn't count towards the total of 40; - Max sanity = 99 (same for all characters except those who've already experienced some mythos event and thus have permanently lost sanity); - Your total reflex save is correct, but incorrectly states +2 based on Con bonus instead of Dex bonus (this is not a big deal, but might confuse me when you level up ;) , so you should correct the text); - Unarmed attack for Wade = 1d3 + 0 Str bonus (inflicting subdual damage). My instruction sheet was not clear, but I checked the book and will improve the wording in the instructions. - Knife attack = 1d4 +0 Str bonus; - Your total skill points available = 7 X (8 + Int bonus) = 7 X 12 = 84; You've only allocated 77 skill points so you have an additional 7 skill points that you can add; - There is no Knowledge (surgery), but there is a new feat called "Surgery" that you've correctly added to your sheet [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2554113&postcount=9]based on this post of mine.[/URL] So you have 7 extra points to put somewhere else instead of in Knowledge (surgery); - Your physician should have Knowledge (biology) so that might be a good place to put those 7 points; - Wade would need the "Speak Other Language" skill to know any one extra language (your sheet lists 3 extra languages); - The equipment list looks fine. Once you've made these changes, you should add brief descriptions of your character's appearance, personality, and background. It's especially important for us (i.e. James Starkweather) to know a little bit about why Wade would be willing to risk his life to join this adventure in Antarctica. Your descriptions need not be lengthy, and you can take some time to think it over. Since you've chosen to create a new physician instead of playing an existing one (i.e. either Vitus Lambert or Annie Mahoney), Wade will need to send James Starkweather a letter of request to join the expedition. Chapter 1 has some examples of what other players sent. If you decide that you'd rather not run this gauntlet (It's a fun gauntlet, though! :] ), you can adjust a few things on your character sheet to match Vitus Lambert's and just consider that you'll instead be taking over Vitus's character.
