[QUOTE="Byrons_Ghost, post: 942051, member: 7396"] Good backgrounds guys! One thing I would like from everyone (I should have mentioned this before) is a quick note on how you came to court and entered the Duke's service. Cadwyn, for instance, could have made a name for himself with his former deeds, while Gideon could be a church representative, or could has struck out on his own. Also, Blockader, how old were you when your family was killed? I'm curious as to how much your character knows about them. Also, is your mentor/resucuer still alive and out there somewhere? For Cadwyn's sheet, there's some things that need to be recalculated. For skill points, you should have a total of 48: 24 (4 + 1 INT + 1 human, all x4) at first level, and then 6 per level thereafter for levels 2-5 for another 24. I count 54 points, my guess is that you counted 1st level twice (once for the 24 and once as a "normal" level at 6), which is easy to do when making higher-level characters. I think you've got an extra feat. You should have started with two at first level, and then gotten a third level three, and that would be all. Unless you're listing a monk ability, but it looked like you had all those covered. Also, remember that Expertise has a prerequisite of Intelligence 13 or greater, so that unfortunately means you'll have to rework your attributes if you want to keep it. I see under your BAB that you're adding your DEX to your unarmed attack rolls, but your weapon finesse lists it as being for your nunchaku. Did you mean for it to be unarmed attacks instead? Also, your monk abilities lists "unarmed damage +1", which I'm a little unclear on. Your damage die would raise from 1d6 to 1d8 at this level, so I'm guessing that's what you mean. Or are you referring to the +1 unarmored AC bonus? Now, for the good news... first, I can tell you actually rolled your hit points because they're rather low. :p For you (or anyone else who wants), we can use the average rules, which is half the hit die + CON bonus per level. Also, we are doing max HP at 1st level. So that should give you 29 minimum- just go ahead and raise the total to that. Don't forget your remaining cash... I count 8,502 for the magic items and 300+ for the equipment, leaving a bit left over. You may want to consider some ranged weapons, monks can still use things like daggers and crossbow if they have to. Also, I've got some information at home on the monastic orders of Arcanis- once I've dug through it I'll post some info for you to pick one or two. I don't recall the details, but I think they grant some minor skills bonuses or that sort of thing. [/QUOTE]
