The good news is hps are rerolled at every level

[PresGas]

True! forgot about that houserule. I definitely want to see how that works in game here to see if I want to bring it to my table.

[PresGas]

Okay, I think I am mostly ready. Please look it over and let me know if I missed anything or advice...

Over time rolls trend slightly above average, I think. I've also got a house rule where you can spend time and money carousing for a hp reroll. Once per level, new roll is what you use.

Can the "Self Improvement, Primary" which gives two points to Wis, Con, or Cha for a cleric, be split to +1 and +1?

Yup.

Yup.

Okay, cool. An adjustment is in orlder for Ardath; he's raise Wis +1 and Con +1.

[Leitz]

Are cleric "spells per day" modified by wisdom?

Not in OSE, no.

[kalstone]

I'm interested.

Sets.
1. : 6#3d6 12 12 6 8 11 11
2. : 6#3d6 12 12 16 7 5 9
3. : 6#3d6 10 13 14 12 14 12

Choose one set, you can switch any two stats. Do you need any of the reference books? There's a free preview version of Into the Wild on Drivethru. The only classes that are off bounds to starting PCs are the cerves and mochyn classes.

I'll play a thief. I'll take the second set and swap Wis for Dex.

Edit: Are mercantile ventures viable? Maybe off screen?

Cool. Will get you hp, money, and item rolls ASAP.

I'm going with a bard. I'm taking my third set and flipping strength and intelligence:

Str: 9, Int: 14, Wis: 6, Dex: 14, Con: 13, Chr: 16

Am I understanding the skills correctly? I know three skills, +1 for intelligence, and three more for leveling? Do I need to spend extra slots to get to skilled and expert? It looked like some PCs had and some had not.

That is correct. One "slot" grants success on 15+, two at 10+, and three at 5+.

[R.R. Brando]

With that in mind, I'll go like this, imagining him as a scholar/diplomat type:

Performance: Song (Expert)
Alchemy (Skilled)
History
Magical Engineering
Etiquette

For Knacks, I'll go with Arcane Performance and Silvertongue.

Edit: An now I can post without moderator approval. Awesome!

Totally viable, onscreen as well.

60,000 XP puts you at 7th level.

: 2d6+1 7 8#1d100 49 33 18 21 39 52 13 24

7,000 gp.

1d2 potions, 1 ring, 1d2 scrolls, 1d2 misc items, 1 sword, 1 misc. weapon, 1 armor.

: 3#1d2 1 2 1

: 8#1d100 85 43 21 78 44 90 28 31

Potion of poison (normally I wouldn't give this to players to start, but I'm going to assume your thief might want to start with a potion of poison)
Ring of invisibility!
Scroll of 2 spells
Scroll treasure map I
Elemental summoning device, earth
Sword +1, locate object
Axe +2
Chain armor +2

If you can't use items you can sell them, use them to attract retainers, or lend them to other PCs. When you pick your Knacks I'll roll hp.

In that case, would it be ok if I took the third set of stats instead, switching Wis and Dex?

That would be Str: 10, Int: 13 (+1), Wis: 12, Dex: 14 (+1), Con: 14 (+1), Chr: 12

Knacks: Haggler, Merchant Prince, Self Improvement Secondary (Chr +2 to 14)
Skills: Bargain (Expert), Alchemy (Skilled), Knowledge: Legal System (Proficient), Profession: Attorney (Proficient)

If those last two skills are too far out there, I can change them up.

I'll need to find someone to trade that Plate +2 for Chain!

[kalstone]

I think I have everything set up except for hp. Please take a look at my post on the PC thread and let me know if I've missed anything.
