[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 1778241, member: 19130"] Where're everyone's characters? I've just been idling away the time making technologist devices, but don't get the impression that this is a one-at-a-time thing. I'd like to get this going relatively soon, you know. :) Don't be intimidated by the Loopy post, by the way. Aside from being an example of what I have in mind, it's also a convenient way to save the character sheet as the game I made it for plummets ever further down the message boards. Just FYI. Okay, Chassama, I've looked over your character, and there are some issues: [list] [*]Might want to include some clothes in your equipment list. :D [*]As you have the character set up, you are not proficient with the greatsword, and therefore have a -4 attack penalty with it. Neither of your domains grant it, and clerics have only simple weapons as a base. A greatsword is martial. [*]We are using 38 point buy for these characters. Assuming I'm reading your notes correctly, you have spent 42 points and therefore need to reduce your stats accordingly. [*]You spent too much gold. All magical items must be masterwork, and the masterwork bonus is [i]not[/i] included in the items price. A masterwork greatsword is 350 gold, a masterwork heavy steel shield is 320 gold, and a suit of masterwork chainmail is 450 gold. Ergo, you are over by 1120 gold pieces. Note also that you must specify which masterwork component you have on these items. Refer to my house rules for the specifics. [*]I have no earthly clue how to read your saving throw entries. They should be Fort +12, Ref +4, and Will +7, but I have no idea what you have listed here. [*]Is [i]audience[/i] meant to be [i]guidance[/i]? Otherwise, you are short an orison and have one too many of something else. [*]You can't wield a greatsword one-handed without the Monkey Grip feat, which you don't have listed. That means you can either use your shield or fight with your greatsword, but not both. [*]Meridonelathis is the least orc-like name I have ever seen. :p If you were raised so far outside of orc culture that you got named that, you should probably change your racial bonus language to that of whomever you were raised by (Elven, Celestial, or whatever).
