rossik's character

[rossik]

Did you do the check for mercenary (you do need to take the -10 CHA penalty for this roll): (5+0+14+16+11+15+8) / 7 * 5 or 50%

If you don't make that, do militia training, otherwise do foot mercenary training.

After that, we'll check your Humakt status

by the gods, this book is confusing xD

Camouflage:1 (50%)
Spot Hidden: 5 (30%)
Sense Ambush: 1 (50%)
horsemanship i suppose i dont have
Speak 4 languages (can i choose? troll, human (the most common type), goblin and elf (the most common typo). is this alright?


the magic too?
Healing 2+1
Bladesharp 1 +1
countermagic 1+0


is that it?

See the languages listed in the sticky post. You speak Praxian as a Pavis native, then you get the 4 additional languages. There are no goblins, so no language for that. Dark Tongue (Trolls) and Aldryami (elves) is fine. Leaves you two more. As a duck, you might want River Speech.

Then you should roll for Initiate status: (CHA * 5 (not modified, Humakt likes ducks) + Sword) / 2

but wait, what do i roll? isnt that just multiply, add, and divide?

Sorry, d100... If you ever see characteristic * 5 in a formula for a roll, you know a d100 roll is coming up...

Good language selection.

[rossik]

oh, ok!
still dont get it, sorry

so, CH is 10. do i roll CHd100? what is this "+sword"


and thanks for being so patient with me

Did you roll your weapon training:

1-H spear, 2-H spear, Small Shield, Short Sword, Self Bow

1d6: 1 base + 25, 2-3 base + 15, 4-6 base + 5

Then we will know your short sword skill (base 15 + 5/15/25 + attack bonus 10)

Then take your (CHA 10 * 5 + sword skill) / 2 so (50 + 15 + 5/15/25 + 10) / 2. Roll [1d100] and if it's <= that number, you are an initiate

[ffilz]

Did you roll your weapon training:

1-H spear, 2-H spear, Small Shield, Short Sword, Self Bow

1d6: 1 base + 25, 2-3 base + 15, 4-6 base + 5

Then we will know your short sword skill (base 15 + 5/15/25 + attack bonus 10)

Then take your (CHA 10 * 5 + sword skill) / 2 so (50 + 15 + 5/15/25 + 10) / 2. Roll [1d100] and if it's <= that number, you are an initiate

Did you roll the 1d6 for other spells?

I didn't roll for 1-H spear and Self Bow because his STR is not high enough

Rossik's 2-H spear [1d6] = 3, Small Shield [1d6] = 4, Short Sword [1d6] = 6

2-H Spear skill is 20 + 15 = 35 (45 with attack bonus)
Small Shield is 5 + 5 = 10 (15 with parry bonus)
Short Sword is 15 + 5 = 20 (30 with attack bonus)

So chance for Initiate is (50 + 30) / 2 = 40: Rossik's Humakt Initiation [1d100] = 54

So he's a Humakt Lay Member. He can train in Short Sword at 1/2 price as well as Camoflage and Spot Hidden. He can learn Bladesharp, Coordination, Detect Enemies, Detect Undead, Fireblade, Glamor, Protection, and Repair at 1/2 price. He can also learn the cult special Parry spell.

With 1200 L credit, I suggest:

50 L Short Sword to 25%
500 L Parry 1
150 L Detect Undead
250 L Protection 1
150 L Detect Enemies

That uses up 1100 L of your 1200 L. You might be able to use it all up if you took Bladesharp 3 (750 L), Fireblade (1000 L), Protection 2 (750 L total), Glamor (1000 L), Coordination (750 L), or Repair (750 L).

With Bladesharp 3, Coordination, or Repair:
50 L Short Sword to 25%
150 L Detect Undead
250 L Protection 1
1200 L total

With Protection 2:
50 L Short Sword to 25%
150 L Detect Undead
150 L Detect Enemies
1100 L total

With Fireblade or Glamor:
50 L Short Sword to 25%
150 L Detect Undead
1200 L total

[rossik]

your suggestions are great!


boy, thats a hard to learn system, eh?

or at least, i feel like the saying "you cant teach new tricks to a old dog"

Yea, it's not a trivial system. This is the first time I've done play by post, and only the second game where we aren't sitting in the same room generating characters, so the "advice from GM" thing is a bit harder to know when it's needed.

Do you want me to make the "additional spells" roll, or did you already do that (and get no spells)? We should complete that before deciding which option for spending money is taken (though the "power player" in me would choose spells for the "free" spells that aren't reduced cost...).

sincerely, my desire is less about rules, about making the rule part of the character, and more just being a cool character to play with. So, please, if you dont mind, can i ask you to finish the rules part for me? If thats ok, of course. Dont want to step on anything

No problem, will do so. Once we get going, the rules engagement towards your character will be less intensive.

Rossik's additional spells [1d6] = 2

2 additional spells:

Befuddle, Spirit Shield 1

Rossik's languages [1d6] = 3 [1d6] = 4 [1d6] = 4 [1d6] = 5
40%, 30%, 30%, 30%

Rossik's lunars [2d100] = 43

You have a couple clothing choices below. Also 43 L to spend on additional equipment. I don't know if you've named your character. I need to edit in your strike ranks and figure your encumbrance.

Which leaves you with the following:
