Destiny's Tears OOC Thread- Prologue: A Jewel in the Shadow

How does Fedowin sound for a name? No idea where I got it from, just popped up.

I figured it was 6+ a 2 int mod for 8 skill points, times 4 at first for 32, then +8 for second. I updated the saves and BAB. How much xp will my legendary cutlass cost? I'd also like to have made a 2nd one, with a heartstone with my personality matrix for my son, left behind on Rowaini. Sure he's only barely been born, but he's my first born son and I want him to grow up right. I'm not sure what the costs for either of this items would be.

Ah, you have the Skill Points correct; I just didn't understand the way you were separating it (by chance, 8 Skill Points is also the number of bonus skill points you got on first level for your Int, so you would have had the exact same number if you made the mistake I had thought). I think I have the XP cost up there somewhere in the thread, so I'll go look for it. As for the cost, the masterwork swords cost 350 GP plus another 150 GP for an appropriate Heartstone = 500 GP each (less than that if you craft them yourself though). You start off with 2,000 GP, but self-crafted items will only cost you half price (except for things made of certain weird materials, which you wouldn't have the skills to work at level 1 or 2), so you could potentially have 4,000 GP worth of nonmagical stuff.

Fedowin sounds good to me.

160 XP. And it makes it a +1 weapon.

Hmm...Everything looks good except Equipment. Did I tell you that you had 3000 GP somewhere up there? If so, I apologise, as my more recent post that you have 2000 GP but can craft your own stuff is correct (although you need to put more ranks into Craft Weaponsmithing, as you currently have few enough that you would lose money on a Weaponsmithing venture even with the Rowaini bonuses). Also, magic items cost extra on Tymadeau, as they are hard to find because very few Rowaini can enchant items, so any magic will cost you 1.5x the market price.

How many ranks would be needed to craft the items? And could I have bought the magic items on Eldiz after my arrival there or would that be even more expensive?

The items would be even more expensive in Eldiz. In order to craft a masterwork weapon, you need to make DC 20 checks. If you fail by five or more, you have to pay more money, but you still do fine as long as you don't miss twice before completing. and you need to craft for a number of weeks such that your DC*result*2(Rowaini)=5000. So that means 6.25 or fewer successes before you meet with two failures by 5 or more. The problem is, with only 1 rank in the skill, your chances of failing by 5 or more are 50/50 and your chance of success is only 25%. If you max out the skill, however, then you have a 50% chance of success and only a 25% chance of failing by 5 or more (so the expected number of failures is a bit above 1, rounded down to 1 and added to the base one third price = one half price). Thus, you need to max out the skill to be able to craft at half price with that skill as a level 2 Rowaini with +2 from Int.

Ok, if this version is correct, I'll dig out all my other posts and put together a history from my offhand comments and post a clean version in RG

I'd be interested in a Praetor War Mage if you're still accepting players.
