[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 5789583, member: 1231"] Okay, I am finally getting around to doing my comprehensive review of characters, as I think I will post the IC thread in about two to four days. A general point on encumbrance: While it is not mentioned in the rules, I just found a post on the Paizo messageboards where James Jacobs mentions that the old 3e rule about the set of clothes you are wearing not adding to encumbrance was omitted by accident. Thusly, if you have included the weight of your worn clothes in your total encumbrance, you can adjust it for this fact (I think DistractingFlare may have been the only one to have added it in, though Arrowhawk does not even mention clothes) . Also, because it seems to be a theme: For those of you whom I mentioned did not add traits, refer to this page: [url=http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advanced/advancedNewRules.html#traits]Advanced New Rules[/url] . You each get two, with the only restriction being that you can only have one trait of any given category. [MENTION=59043]Walking Dad[/MENTION] You need an age, height and weight still. Morgan is listed as having a cold weather outfit, though given the region would be more likely to need a hot weather outfit. Same issue with the winter blanket. I think Northern Breland probably has a climate similar to Georgia and Florida. You also seem to have forgotten to add traits or spellcasting. For you companion: Why is there a "x2" after the attack trick? AC for Crawler is listed as 18, but I count 10 + 3 Dex + 1 Size + 2 Natural. And then strangely you have its Touch as 12, where it should be 10 + 3 Dex + 1 Size; and Flat-footed 10 + 1 Size + 2 Natural = 13. Crawler's initiative should be +3. The (cannot be tripped) should probably be next to CMD, not CMB. [MENTION=6679551]Arrowhawk[/MENTION] I am fairly certain your age is not 0. If you do not venerate a deity, just put " None " or remove the deity field, but do not leave it blank. CMD is 15, not +15. Touch AC should be 13. You also appear to have not added any traits. Climb has a +1 total bonus but you forgot to list +1 under the Mod column. Ride has a +1 under Mod (should be +3), but not total listed.

You have no money listed as left over, either, for instance. [MENTION=30034]ghostcat[/MENTION] Add in your languages and deity. You bastard sword total attack bonus should be +3, and I do not understand why you have its damage listed as +3 if you are wielding it one handed.

I do not think you accounted for your armour check penalty on skills, and your skill chart does not have all values filled in (though you may just remove any skills from the list that you do not have ranks in if you do not wish to fill it out completely).
