Anvuss,
Action Points: 6
missing Artificer abilities:
Artificer Knowledge (+5)
Artisan Bonus (+2 UMD for scrolls, potions)
Disable Traps
Item Creation

Thanks!

Though I think it might be overstating things to call Artificer Knowledge an "ability." It's a labor intensive failure prone variant on the most common cantrip in the game!

Ok, let me see if I got this right, because I find it really confusing. Indeed, after reading back through the LEB crafting thread, it struck me that all the judges weren't 100% clear on what they were voting on.

Shoot started with 100 craft points, just like everyone else.
He began play on 7/23/06 in the tavern thread.
He made his first appearance in the adventure thread (Head of the Class) on 8/25/06, 34 days later.
While sitting in the tavern, he spent 10(?) craft points helping Anvuss make a few scrolls.
So, if I have this right, Shoot should have 100 - 10 + 34 = 124 craft points.

And I think I figured out why I was using the wrong method...I copied another player's character sheet to use as a template, and that sheet had a link to the LEW craft rules. The LEB craft rules hadn't been voted in at the time Shoot was created, so (not surprisingly) I didn't bother to keep track of time spent in the tavern, not knowing that some time in the future it would be counted to add to Shoot's craft points.

And what you said about getting a better write-up for crafting. *Shudder*

I agree which is why I reopened the thread for Craft Rules. I will have to review to see if you have it right. As you and Anvuss are the only ones who have crafted things I know that my notes only apply to you 2 so far.

Patlin, regarding Artificer Knowledge, it would've been nicer if it was more like either Bardic Knowledge for items only or identify (or better yet like Monte Cook's Object Loresight).

Or even the Warlock's ability to detect magic at will... all in all, a very silly ability. Even at first level, when I wanted to know if something was magic it was a lot faster and easier to express that to the party and have multiple vollunteers ready to use the cantrip!

 

[Erekose13]

Absolutely or blow an infusion and slap detect magic onto a pair of glasses.

El Jefe: You should have used two craft days per my notes. From Anvuss's character sheet, re crafting:

Initial Craft days: 100
Crafted scroll 2 druid spells for 25 gp of materials, 2 xp, 1 craft day; spent 2 xp and 1 craft day on behalf of same for Shoot. Gave shoot 25 gp of ink as a loan. With Shoot's help providing spell prereqs. XP from 1st level craft reserve.
Entered Inn: 7/16/06 still there as of 8/25/6 = 41 days

Thanks, Erekose. I'm a newbie at Eberron, & am not interested in being a judge, but I'd be happy to help out with character approval if that would be useful. I might be a good double-check.

I have a lot of experience with Eberron (my f2f game is at lvl 12 after a year and half) and I have all the books that have been approved. I'm not sure if you are looking for more judges or if you want more than one who is also a judge for LEW, but if you are, I'm available too.

By the way, since I know at least one LEB e-mail got eaten recently, I'm waiting for a second judge to aprove my adventure. I believe only KO has given an OK, and I'll get started when I get a second.

I'm pretty excited about this one. Should be fun!

I approved it today (might have been one of the one's eaten).

 

[IcyCool]

So, do all of the players in Head of the Class have approved characters?

I was just helping out, I am not a judge so my review is not actually official.
