Thank you all very much. I have uploaded the characters formatted in the style found in KotS. I hope you guys find these useful.

[Oldtimer]

Here's the Dwarven Fighter:
...
Blade Opportunist
...
+2 Thundering Battleaxe
...

That feat won't work with his battleaxe. It's for light and heavy blades.

Fixed dwarf-in-can

I gave him shield push instead and gave him a cloak of resistance.

If I may recommend another place to look: the WotC CharOpt board. Each build should show progression by level, and you can bet they've been gone over by smart people looking for mistakes. Each one should also tell you how it's intended to play.

Cheers, -- N

Skills problems

I looked over the skills for these pre-gens, and there are quite a few problems. First off, Nature is a Wis-based skill, not an Int-based one.

Halfling Paladin
The mod for an 8 Int is -1, not -2 (although you seem to have applied the correct -1 to all skills except Religion). Also, you haven't applied plate mail's -2 penalty to Str, Dex, and Con skill checks. Additionally, you haven't applied the Halfling racial skill modifiers or the magic item bonuses to Endurance from both the Cloak of Survivial and the Dwarven Plate.

Athletics (str) +4 [+4 (half level) +2 (attribute bonus) -2 (plate)]
Nature (wis) +6 [+4 (half level) +2 (attribute bonus)]
Religion (int) X +8 [+4 (half level) +5 (trained) -1 (attribute bonus)]
Stealth (dex) +4 [+4 (half level) +2 (attribute bonus) -2 (plate)]

Human Cleric

Nature (wis) X +6 [+4 (half level) +2 (attribute bonus)]

Dwarf Fighter

Endurance (con) X +16 [+4 (half level) +5 (attribute bonus) +5 (trained) +2 (racial bonus) -2 (plate mail) +2 (item bonus: Dwarven Plate)]
Thievery (dex) X +4 [+4 (half level) +2 (attribute bonus) -2 (plate mail)]

Half-elf Warlock

Diplomacy (cha) X +18 [+4 (half level) +5 (trained) +5 (attribute bonus) +2 (racial bonus) +2 (item bonus: Circlet of Authority)]
Insight (wis) X +11 [+4 (half level) +5 (trained) +2 (racial bonus)]
Nature (wis) X +4 [+4 (half level)]
Thievery (dex) X +4 [+4 (half level)]

Eladrin Wizard

Arcana (int) X +16 [+4 (half level) +5 (trained) +5 (attribute bonus) +2 (racial bonus)]
Endurance (con) X +6 [+4 (half level) +2 (attribute bonus)]
History (int) X +16 [+4 (half level) +5 (trained) +5 (attribute bonus) +2 (racial bonus)]
Nature (wis) X +10 [+4 (half level) +5 (trained) +1 (attribute bonus)]
Perception (wis) X +10 [+4 (half level) +5 (trained) +1 (attribute bonus)]

Let us know how the adventure goes. I want to run Ashenport in the near future, so any DM tips would be great. I have a party of 3 PCs, so I was gonna wait until they're level 9 to run it, as some of those monsters look pretty gnarly.

Thank you

Thank you for the skill corrections, Ulorian. I made the changes and reuploaded.

Thank you for the skill corrections, Ulorian. I made the changes and reuploaded.

No problem! But there are new issues... the Halfling Paladin's Endurance score is too high now, for instance. The skills I listed in my previous post were the only ones that had errors.

In the case of the Halfling Paladin, looks like you added both the bonus to Cloak of Survival and Dwarven Plate (they are both item bonuses, thus don't stack), but neglected the plate mail check penalty.

Endurance (con) X +5 [+4 (half level) +1 (attribute bonus) +2 (Cloak of Survival or Dwarven Plate) -2 (plate mail)]

To fix these new problems, go back to your previous version, and only apply the changes I made in my previous post.

 

[Ulorian - Agent of Chaos]

Actually, there are only three skill problems:

Halfling Paladin

Endurance (con) X +5 [+4 (half level) +1 (attribute bonus) +2 (Cloak of Survival or Dwarven Plate) -2 (plate mail)]
Nature (wis) X +6 [+4 (half level) +2 (attribute bonus)]

Eladrin Wizard

Nature (wis) X +10 [+4 (half level) +5 (trained) +1 (attribute bonus)]
(I'd neglected the Wizard's Alertness feat bonus to Perception on my previous calculation, but you seem to have caught and fixed that... nice.)

Also, the Warlock has the Armour Proficiency (Leather) feat, but Warlocks automatically get that proficiency as a class feature.

Thanks again

The warlock feat was just listed there - he already had five selected feats for 8th level. I removed it anyway to avoid confusion.

I fixed the other skill problems and reuploaded. Thank you.
