Think I need to look into a Thief option.
Hmmmmm, Halflings don't have Infravision.
To be honest, I have been playing online for years, in several different capacities in several different games. I think I could LITERALLY count on one hand the number of times infravision was actually used. And usually because the player forgot a light source!

Edit to add: Hey! Up above, Halflings have 30' darkvision!

Pack 2: Chainmail (AC: 5), Heavy Mace (1d8), Sling and 20 Stones (1d4), Backpack, Large Sacks (2), Holy Symbol, Crowbar, Waterskin, Torches (8), Flint and Tinder, Rations (7), 10’ Pole (97gp).
Pack 3: Studded Leather and Shield (AC: 6), Flail (1d6), Backpack, Large Sacks (4), Holy Water, Holy Symbol, Lantern, Flask of Oil (4), Waterskin, Rations (7) (70gp).

I am a little confused on the two rule sets.

Hit Dice, Experience Charts and Starting gold are different in L&L and Dragonslayer. Which one should I follow?

Looks like we have a cleric so I will lean towards Ranger, but waiting to see details. I thought Dragonslayer but could be wrong. I have LL but just the free version of Dragonslayer which is not playable as it has no class details at all.

When in doubt, Dragonslayer.

Are you posting the class rules like you did the races?

If so, might I suggest to place them in a separate, locked thread for clearer reference.

I will be posting class rules.

I can do that. It's been on my mind to do so.

CON 10-1=9
INT 8
WIS 16
Cha 10

HP: 6/6
160 gold

I am not finding any Fast Packs for equipment - I may be looking at the wrong ruleset... Is this Labyrinth Lord or Dragonslayer?
Found them now (and thanks dmw71!) ;) Planning on going with:

Pack 2: Chainmail (AC: 5), Heavy Mace (1d8), Sling and 20 Stones (1d4), Backpack, Large Sacks (2), Holy Symbol, Crowbar, Waterskin, Torches (8), Flint and Tinder, Rations (7), 10’ Pole (97gp).

Can I swap Heavy Mace with a Mace and buy a Shield then (putting AC at 4)? Would mean total spent of 97-7+5+10=105gp for now. Looking at the rest of the gear.

Elf Racial Abilities

Movement: Elves have a speed of 40 feet per round.
Darkvision: Elves are accustomed to life under the stars and can see 60 feet in total darkness.
Detect Secret Doors: When elves pass near a secret door they receive a passive 1 on d6 chance to automatically detect due to their keen eyesight. When
actively searching, elves may detect hidden and secret doors on a roll of 1-2 on 1d6.
Racial Weapon: +1 to hit with the longbow.
Weapon Restrictions: Elves are too lithe to employ two-handed melee weapons.
Paralysis: Elves are immune to ghoul paralysis.
Sleep/Charm Immunity: Elves are 90% immune to Sleep and Charm spells.
Thief Skill Bonuses: Elven thieves receive bonuses to Pick Pockets +5%, Open Locks -5%, Move Silently +7%, Hide in Shadows +10%, Hear Noise +1 on d6.
Languages: Elves begin play knowing Elven and Common. They may select Ancient Common, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Orc, Goblin, Gnoll, as additional
languages if their Intelligence modifier permits.

Hey!

If "Elves are too lithe to employ two-handed melee weapons," does that mean no quarterstaff???

Can someone point me to equipment cost list we are using? With only 30gp I can't afford much.

Check out the new Equipment Lists thread.

Looks good and is approved. Fill out the fillable character sheet on the US Dice Roller site and then embed it within the Character Sheet thread.

I will wrap up my equipment later tonight and then I will be done. I will be a thief with no thief tools unless someone can loan me some coin.

I have some more equipment to buy, but can probably kick in 10gp.
