Birthing Vats (character creation)

[Inferno]

Encumbrance question:

...If barbarian base move is 15" (3" more than standard), and if this number is considered 'heavy gear' with a reduced rate of 3", is his move now 12"

Yes.

Everyone, please see DMG, p. 27 for the base movement allowed in any armor type. Barbarians add +3" due to their special movement ability.

Thanks.

[OGRE MAGE]

Sheet should be good to go now.

Working on background today.

We will use the THAC0 progression for fighters that advances by 1 each level instead of 2 every two levels, as per the "Special Note Regarding Fighters' Progression" on DMG p. 74.

Is this for fighter sub-classes as well or just fighters? I think ko-nan is done otherwise.

Thanks!

Yes, fighter subclasses as well.

Wow. Photo please?

Here's the latest state of everyone's sheet...


Chubby Pixie: Fiefo LeBratt the Rat-Man Fighter ...This sheet is good to go! Thanks!

Ogre Mage: Buck (Moley) Russellswart the Mole-Man Cleric ...Good to go! Thanks!

Ravenn4544: Ko-Nan the Human Barbarian ...Barbarians double their Con bonus to hit points. So he should have 32hp. Once that's added in, this sheet is approved! Thanks!

Spinward March: Tullia Galena the Half-Elf Ranger ...Armor Class should read: 5/5/5 if you have no shield. If you want a shield and buy one, then AC should read: 4/5/5. After that, I think you're good to go. Thanks.

Starbeard: Jeojand the Cat-Man Magic-User ...Still needs Inventory, Weapons, Encumbrance, Movement and Memorized Spells. Thanks.

Urson: Maskelyn the Gnome Illusionist ....AC should read: 8/10/8. He has 2 memorized spells. Then this sheet is approved! Thanks!

Looks good Starbeard.
Please add a spell book (which weighs 10 lbs) and post the final sheet to the character sheet thread. Thanks!

Any other arcane casters (Magic-Users and Illusionists) needs a spell book too.

Done. But should it be 10 lbs or 15 lbs? The house rules say 10 here: viewtopic.php?p=352796#p352796

[Inferno]

Oops. You're right. 10 lbs. Sorry. Will correct my post above.

[Urson]

New version!

[Scott308]

I'm working on an idea for a wolf-man. Not sure where I want to go class-wise just yet, but I think I may have some good background touches so far.

[Yrkoon]

A rough sketch, that is, if a mole-man cleric/thief is a thing...

[Inferno]

Cool! I'll allow it.

[Yrkoon]

Do you use age adjustment to WIS, STR, etc. by age categories as per p.13 of the DMG?

How do you handle starting GP for a multi-classed character: roll for it or assign the maximum of the highest class as is done for calculating starting age? Or a third method possibly?

I'm plum out of practice playing a multi-classed guy.

[Inferno]

No.

How do you handle starting GP for a multi-classed character:

Roll for each class and then average the results.

Then, for this game, you double your starting GP, because of your experience level.

[Yrkoon]

Level limits are in place?

If so, I'd be capped at level 8 in cleric, and I could advance without limit in thief.

[Inferno]

Yes. But I don't think we'll make it to 8th level with a multiclass character anyway.
