With two wizards, we could teach us the spells the other lacks

Nice!

I was just reading the first 7 pages of this thread ... wow, everyone has been totally messed with by the stats. It's been a bit of an issue for everyone I see. And WD, you have been screwed over harder than anyone by the looks.

On 5 characters rolls using a method that is designed to generate super-human stats ... surely you would think that at least 1 of 6 characters would have rolled an 18. And instead of super heroes only normal, a bit below normal or low magic charcters have been generated. 6 times! IC seems flawed to be honest. The ENWorld dice roller rolled the kind of stats you would expect when I rolled them. Maybe there is a lesson there.

All that said and done, I'm actually glad I was screwed over concept wise by the dice as well. It makes me feel like I fit in!

So if I understand right, after reading character generation rules:

MAX HP at 1st lvl, then HPs are rolled
2 traits
An Occupation??? (What is that? or rather where do i find out about that?)
If occupation has no bonus feat then gain +2 to two skills that fit background
MAx gold for level 1

Question: Starting at lvl 3 what starting wealth do I haveand do I have any special item?

EDIT: Professions I think could be interesting for the Cursed One:
Animal Catcher (How he got his Monkey ...?)
Arcane Student (reflect his learning in the Art at the thieves guild)
Bandit (Thieves Guild)
Beggar (before entering Assassin's Guild)
Hermit (Living on edge of Forest of Fire for so many years)
Nomad (Travelling in search of spirits)
Primitive (Isolated life with only spirits for company)
Thief (Thieve's guild training)

I'd be interested in any of those professions. Can someone tell me what the benefits are?

 

[Songdragon]

The professions came from the Tome of Secerts, a book that Vertexx69 has. It gave a bonus of some kind and some extra gold as well.

Thanks heaps for such a comprehensive list!!!!

I think the most formative part of TCO's life was at the Thieve's Guild and I like the look of Bandit: I'd take the Blind Fighting feat.

Does that sound okay HM?

[MENTION=84167]HolyMan[/MENTION] I'm just checking in to see how things are going. Things have been quiet for a while (real quiet ) and I just wanted to make sure everything was okay characterwise etc Is it this weekend you're looking to get things restarted?

Am I still welcome ?

I've edited Spirit so its more readable and tuned and tweaked a few things (I thought elves were proficient with elven curve blades, but then I reread it more closely upon editing and it said treat as martial weapons ... no good for a rogue or a magician ... to I swapped the Deft Dodger trait for Heirloom Weapon and added relevant details to his background.)

 

[Dragonwriter]

Sometimes this game seems to dwindle...

Anyways, Barrik's gear is updated.

 

[HolyMan]

Yes you still are welcome jbear...

Weekends - FRI - SUN are bad posting time for me as I work them and the weather has been to good to pass up going out.

I catch up on everything TUE/WED and your character review is at the top of my list so will be done today after check ins. (this is a check in).

For everyone else I need gear - although looks like DW and Songdragon are ready - just FtF and WD (and then me going back to double check).

jbear will be going over background heavily to help with the fitting in, and maybe a little RP/combat before not sure yet. But will be throwing out ideas for you tonight.

Background:

After reading his background I don't think Spirit is cursed, so much as he brings a curse to all those around him. LOL (poor party)

Few notes I have here...

I don't see your acquiring of Will (monkey familiar) in your background. You do wish to start with him correct?

Your elven mother could have been fleeing the Fire Forest which is where she and your father could have been from. There was an elven village inside the forest.

Coming to it (fire forest) may be in responds to whispers from the spirits and a need to know where you are from. Maybe he hoped to meet his father and became more upset at not being able to travel more than a few hours into the forest.

Reasons you can't travel deeper in.

a) Water source (you run out of water after trying to get to far in). Might want to add a waterskin to equipment.
b) Will, is not protected from the fire forest like you are. Endure Elements is good but doesn't stop anyone from catching on fire.
c) Equipment, your equipment is not protected and losing your spellbook would be very bad.

Anything you wish to change in your background/update?
