Yes. I don't have 2nd edition.

Okay, then. I will roll for you. I'll post the result later as I am at the doctors

Okay. Thanks.

Griffin, your Life Events Phase 1 Origin is...

Endured slavery. Berserkers killed your family in a raid. You get a +2 total in Constitution bonuses.

For Phase 2 Learning Your Trade you get...

Became a Gladiator in the arena at Zul-Bazzir. Benefit: +1 to hit and damage

Thank god for PDF files! After a long frustrating day in the ER, I've been admitted due to complications of my surgery. Nothing major but bear with me.

Reroll your stats, using 3d6 and arrange to suit (I should have stated this at the beginning, so I'm just going to add this now as a house rule for any future players).

Thanks boss. That second roll came out MUCH better. Hope everything goes well with your recovery.

Life event 1 [1d8] = 3, life event 2 [1d8] = 3

Taraamite and Sorcerer background
Born as a body slave (+1 STR) and +1 Wisdom
Picked for his mental acuity to assist a court sorcerer: Bonus starting spells: Sleep, Hide Magic, Charm Person

Does that mean I add 2 to my hit points? If so my hit points will be 10.

Also I updated my background to reflect the new life events and trade. Sorry its kinda long. I got carried away

Not to worry, my posts won't be that long

Actually it means you get to add 2 points to your Constitution (Your race gives you a point and your life event gave you another, both for Constitution). Sorry I didn't make that clear enough.

A Khoran Male Thief.

A Khoran Male Thief.

As a Khoran, add +1 to either Strength or Dexterity.

Life Event
Survivor of a disastrous raid into Khazabad, you spent your early years as a slave
there until you managed to escape. Add +1 Constitution

Learning Your Trade
You spent the early part of your career slumming it with the Beggars of Zul-Bazzir.

+2 to Skill Tests involving begging or pick pocketing.

What about Armor Class? Ascending or descending?

Ah. I didn't realize you were also doing culture/race stat bonuses. I still need to amend that.

disregard my previous post.

Sorry for the hold-up. Its been a real rough couple of days and I haven't been able to visit the site. My hardcover copy of the second edition rules arrived from OBS yesterday (wahoo!) and I will have my character finished up shortly.

Tamerlaine, what do you think a set of lock picks costs? On page 25 it states:

If the thief lacks a proper set of lock picks, they suffer a penalty of -2 or more (as the Crypt Keeper judges) to the attempt. Especially well crafted lock picks may give the thief a bonus to their rolls.

However, there are no lock picks in the equipment list.

It just comes with being a thief, just like a magic-user's spell book.

Just a head's up...I'll be replying within the next day or so. I've been working a lot of overtime for Christmas and I've been too tired to respond to my games. I appreciate your patience. I haven't forgotten you guys.

No worries. Tis the season.

The holidays are over. I think everyone knows everyone gets a pass for not posting over these last few days of hectic chaos. If you did, hey...awesome! More power to you. I don't celebrate New Year's, just too old for it. If you guys do, have at it. It's a pass as well.

Now that the dust has somewhat settled, I'd like to get the momentum back and going. If anyone has any concerns, issues, grievances, platitudes, whichever, privately or out in the open, fire away. My door's always open.
