**I think he should only get 2 zero level spells per day. High ability scores don't allow for bonus zero level spells. He will qualify for the bonus once he has access to first level spells.
Oops, my mistake! And one that I keep on making, at that. My brain could never really wrap itself around that little quirk in the rules, I guess I never really got used to it. Thanks for pointing that out! I'll correct it immediately.

**By my math, it appears that Jebbo was shorted 5 gold pieces. I'm willing to concede that I could be wrong, but I'm inviting you to add the other 5 gold to his money.
Actually, I think that we're BOTH wrong. After a brief recalculation, I think that Jebbo is over the 160 gp max for Bards by a little. Everything should have cost him 160 gp, 7 sp, and 5 cp. That puts me roughly 4 gp over the limit! Is this an ignorable amount (meaning that I won't have to rework his equipment list), or should I rework his equipment list to fit? But, math isn't my subject, so if I'm wrong AGAIN, please, somebody correct me!

Oh, and I wanted to mention that the notes about Jebbo's weapons are very cool. Nice little role-playing details, there, and much appreciated.
Thanks for noticing! I love adding in the little details, it makes the character so much more believable. In addition to that, it's nice when the enemy knows PRECISELY what is being driven into their skull!
Be sure to check back on the dagger descriptions - that's only a rough draft. I'm considering giving brief details on every one of his six daggers (too much free time). Once the game starts off, expect him to swap out daggers with somebody whenever he has the opportunity. I'll update the descriptions whenever he swaps one out - it's going to be a constantly changing detail.
On the subject of the daggers, an interesting idea to me is to have him collect daggers made from various materials - in addition to adamantine, alchemical silver, cold iron, and mithral, what sort of materials are you allowing? And if you ever throw a monster using any sort of knife at us, be prepared for Jebbo to ask for details about it during the looting. It's his thang.
Finally, I found the PERFECT portrait for Jebbo. I posted it, I hope you like it! Sorry it isn't in color, but it was just too good to pass up. I usually don't bother with PC portraits, but MAN, it feels great to find one that just fits the character like a glove! Oh, and I like Jared and Hakkara's portraits, as well. hero4hire, the moment you described Hakkara, the Frenzied Berserker jumped to mind. For a good reason, I guess!
