Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Ignore my previous questions, I just went with my rolls. Do we have a chance at any magic items since we are third level?

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Thanks Rex!
Yes, your characters will be granted one magic item of your choosing. (within reason)
Pick something that you think would fit well, and I will let you know if it is acceptable.

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Your sheet looks good at first glance!
Everyone:
Feel free to choose and document all of your characters weapon proficiencies, just in case you might find something useful along the way.

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Your HP rolls could have been a bit better, but she looks pretty good other than that "minor" detail.Rex wrote:Elitir's HP
[1d10] = 1 second level HP
[1d10] = 4 second level HP
[1d10] = 1 third level HP
[1d10] = 2 third level HP
22 HP total
Once you pick out your (acceptable) magic item, Elitir the Half-orc warrior will be approved!

She will take magic chain armor, I will leave the bonus up to you.

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
That was the very first thing I thought of too!
Any armor or weapons chosen will be +1 at this level.
Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Thanks, I updated AC, encumbrance, move and inventory.
Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
I'm going to play...
Zefarrel, a half-elf Cleric, level 3. (using point buy)
HP rolls for 2nd & 3rd level:
HP: [1d8] = 1 [1d8] = 6
total HP: 15
Working on character sheet now
Edit to re-roll level 2 hp (was a 1):
HP: [1d8] = 6
I rolled another one first & just discarded it. That roller likes to go low
So total HP is now 20. Yay

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
I think we are re-rolling 1's for HP's. One of the posts covers it I think. That is what I did anyways (I rolled double 1's of course).
Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Fixed the HP, thanks for the reminder.
OGRE MAGE, how do you handle material components? Also, with my wisdom spell bonus, I get 4 1st level spells and 3 2nd level spells per day right? Do I get to only choose that many spells, or are more available?

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Thanks for helping each other out, guys!
I enjoy it immensely when players detail their characters use of spell components in their posts, but I am not a stickler about keeping track of every single sprig of mistletoe or dried caterpillar cocoon. A spellcaster would know what he/she needed to use their magic, so components are more or less part of their normal equipment. (unless something "special" is called for in the spell description, of course)
If your Wis is 16, you are correct with the bonuses. Zefarrel could pick from any 4 first and any 3 second level spells to pray for each day.
I'm not sure what you are asking in your last question.

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Sorry, I wasn't clear re-reading what I wrote. Each day, can I pray for any spell from the PH from the appropriate levels? Or do I only know the prayers to ask for certain spells and I have to have a combination of those?

You can use any spells from the lists in the 1E PHB.

Are we using your spell slot system (from Big Shiny Island)? Asking for an illusionist friend.

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
2nd Level hp gain: [1d6] = 4 /2 + [1d4] = 3 /2 Whoopsies - need to add together with Con bonus first, then /2, so that’d be: 4 + 3 + 0 = 7 ...divided by 2 = 3.5 (round up to 4).
Then for third level: 3rd level up hp (for Thief): [1d6] = 2 /2 = 1
So hp in total:
1st Level: 6/2 + 4/2 = 5
2nd Level: 4/2 + 3/2 = 4
3rd Level: 2/2 = 1
——
10 hp
All that work for 10 hp??! Son of a...!

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Spell memorization will be used in this game so you will have to choose your spells each day. (no spell slots)

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
Yes, you still need a magic item. Also a quick little backstory on why she is on the ship.scottjen wrote: Ogre Mage, let me know if I need to fix anything. I know I have a magic item coming.
Otherwise, its looking good so far!

Re: Pre Launch Char Gen Discussion
To be clear: I roll learn percentage for the 1st level spells to know them, in the order I choose. I need a minimum number and have a max number of 1st levels I know. For 2nd level, I do the same, but only know 1 spell?
That sound about right?
