[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6723162, member: 6681948"] Math is hard! Does he note his boosts from level bumps, or are you assuming the most expensive two stat points and he's still over? I suspect the latter, which might be due to a screwup when he corrected the DEX issue. Well, he wasn't going to get the PrC next level anyway, I suppose :) Maybe he has a learning disability re math? And so does his SW, apparently. This is why I prefer an excel spreadsheet - I will set the math so I can see if it is getting the results I expect. I'd assume the intent was to change it and he missed an update at one spot. Someone else noted other possible sources for the item. What about specifically requiring character sheets indicate the source book and page for things like spells, feats, items and properties (a general rule, not just for him). Seems like this would be handy in play, not just for character reviews, especially if a character needs to be referenced when the player is absent. That's a RP/background thing to me, and his backstory needs to explain why he views the former PC as a sister. Which has, I believe, been raised to him before with no actual result. Maybe his character is just delusional...how about "if he doesn't explain it, the DM gets to impose any explanation that fits, subject to group vote override"? We once wrote an extensive background for a PC whose player consistently refused to come up with one, ending with his becoming amnesiac, so everyone in the game except that player knew his backstory (he was away when we wrote it). Simple answer - "short bows are not rays". Pretty sucky underwater weapon too. Sounds like an outcast kind of background, between the air elemental, the bow and a focus on electrical spells. That's explained by the Lantern/Cont Dark error, though. Under cover of night works. It also highlights the "why was the character not reviewed before he entered play" question, possibly for setting a group policy going forward. Love abbreviations, acronyms and spelling errors. My favorite from years back was the character with poisoned arrows. Except he spelled it "poisson". For those who know a bit of French, the visual of him firing fish at people was quite amusing. The sheer volume of error again causes me to ask "Why is he allowed to start play with an unreviewed character"? And why is anyone, for that matter? People make mistakes - he's just a volume provider. [/QUOTE]
