@Lawas: I would say we could use another guy in melee-we've only got two guys who aren't also some sort of hybrid. So I'd go Swashbucklery.

Edit: I would note, though, the OP directly states we're going to be splitting up alot. So don't really base it on the 'ideal' of having all our guys doing one thing.

TN gives good advice.

Also, in a campaign called river of death, did anyone else put ranks into swimming like me?

I took Aquatic.
Be prepaaaared!

On the feats front, I have Able Learner (I could have gone with Bardic Knack+Jack of All Trades, but eh...) and Melodic Casting. Since no flaws, I'll probably have to skip Aquatic Spellcasting and get Practised Spellcasting later, but such is life.

[Grek]

Just a heads up: If you end up in the river, you will probably be more worried about the things in the water (crocodiles, piranha, horrible diseases) than about making your swim check.

[GiglameshDespair]

On that note, my marching order is second from the back, and if I'm attacked close up I summon an animal to fight alongside my companion. My augment summoning should give them a boost.

Tis why I have +9 to swim.

[Harbingerjm]

Argh. I want to take Master Linguist but dropping either of my current feats for it would be pretty terrible. Choices, choices! And I still haven't even bought gear yet! ARGH!
At least Spell Selection was fairly easy for once =S

Ok, I have done feats and skills, but have another skill question. I’m taking three knowledges. One is history. What should the other two be? This is mostly for character flavour I suppose. I want it to kind of include folklore and folksongs, or the customs of tribes he wants to catalogue. I don’t know how to represent that.

Partly my vision for him includes being a kind of nineteenth century “philosopher” i.e. interested in stuff like botany and lots of things, like a Fellow of the Royal Society.

So, if I chose as the remaining two knowledges, “folklore” and “nature”, would that 1/ be like the above and 2/ actually be useful?

[Harbingerjm]

There's a list of Knowledge skills here, that covers what they are useful for. Just don't forget that you also have Bardic Knowledge, which is handy for a lot of things (and gets a synergy bonus from Knowledge(History)).
Folklore would probably be covered under Local.

Thank you.

It seems I have 2215 GP to spend and no idea what to spend it on.

My first thought was put it behind the bar for a team bonding night, but perhaps someone has a better idea?

Also if anyone could look over my sheet and tell me what is wrong or bad (I haven't even stared on the texty background bits yet...)

[Harbingerjm]

You might want to look into getting some magic gear? And you should probably grab some rope, you might want some more food, and a waterskin or two are likely to be very useful given the river is apparently full of badness.
Also, note "Different characters may want different outfits for various occasions. A beginning character is assumed to have an artisan’s, entertainer’s, explorer’s, monk’s, peasant’s, scholar’s, or traveler’s outfit. This first outfit is free and does not count against the amount of weight a character can carry." (Player Handbook, page 131).

Also also, we might want to pool some party money and grab a Keelboat, possibly with some cages aboard for getting wildlife samples.

And as far as your skill point section is concerned, if you clear out the points in it, fix the class skill count, and then re-add the points it will make it a lot easier to manage.

I like it, it looks good thank you. She was meant to have black hair though rather than brown hair

Slightly less terrible.

I... don't really know what you mean, I'm afraid. Particularly by "fix the class skill count".

I would be happy to share in a boat.

Currently, your skill point count is listed as 120, but you have your own note saying 60. That's because currently it thinks you are buying all your skills cross-class, ie at twice the price, represented by the fact that they have a tick in the "CC" column box. If you mouse over the black "Skills" header at the top, you can Auto-Fill, Update CC or Clear. If you hit "Update CC" it will automatically update the list to reflect what skills are actually Class Skills for you, which means that any skills ranks you add will only add 1 to your skill point count (though you will need to remove and re-add the ones you've already added). It makes managing them much easier.

[lawastooshort]

Ah... I might have done that a bit backwards. Or even completely backwards.

I'll be happy to put in €500 for a boat, or even €1000 since I can't think of anything magic to buy.

I've bought 10 gallons of ale to stash in the hold.

edit: is Bracers of armor +1 or cloak of resistance +1 likely to be more useful?

[Dwarmin]

@Lawas: Bracelets of Armor won't stack with your normal armor, tho-it's the same bonus. Casters and such who need to avoid spell loss penalties can use bracers, instead of armor. Or cast Mage Armor.

Stuff like amulet of natural armor would stack, but goes for $2000

A cloak of resistance is always a good buy. I took one myself.
