[QUOTE="Luke, post: 22683, member: 602"] Thanks Charles. Very useful feedback. I re-did "Kytess" on [B]my current, personal version [/B], and it went a lot better. Thanks to your input, I've fixed numerous little database edits (Warrior HD, use of mighty bow in attacks, cloak of resistance modifiers, many weight/costs for items etc). There are already many issues that are fixed on the current work-in-progress, such as the calculated cost of magical items. [B]Some clarifications[/B] * Skill Point allocation: This should be done from the "Level Up" window, under the "Skills" tab. That is where you see the available points you have to allocate. RPM reports the "Points Earned" and "Points Spent" for each class you have. You allocate from "Points Spent" to the currently selected skill. For multi-class, you simply click on the appropriate class to allocate available points from it. The colour coding determines the cost (green = class, white = cross-class, red = not available). So, a fighter wanting to put points into the cross-class "Tumble" skill goes down the skill list to the white "Tumble" entry, and starts spending points. *Why Kytess got 6 feats, rather than 1: This is because your Kytess character is a 4th level human fighter. The automatic class feats don't count. RPM gave Kytess 6 (human = +1, level4 = +2, 4th level Ftr Bonus = +3).
