I have a question about combat skills:

Under agility, there are three "combat skill" skill sections, as well as a "missile weapon" skill section. If I want to be good at shooting stuff with, for example, a shortbow, do I put "shortbow" as one of my combat skills, and then put points into that combat skill? Or do I just put points in missile weapon skill? Or both?

I'll polish it up and repost once someone has assured me it's mostly legitimate.

You can't be a very good dragon hunter without dragon bone or runic weapons, since those are the only things that can harm greater dragons.
Dragons in Arrowflight are not as common as they are in, say, D&D. They mate once every 10 years, and only produce about three or four offspring on average, and when they aren't mating, they're killing each other over territory.

Well she's a junior 'dragon' hunter now So she would mostly be hunting things she could handle, or collecting information for her families 'business'. Or bragging alot and traveling the world. Dwarves do alot of bragging.

If it doesn't work I could change it around.

So... What guys could the party use? I was thinking of going with big guy with bigger sword, but I get the feeling that we have a lot of fighters so... any ideas?

My char is a pure sniper with some lore and charisma abilities.

The other sheets posted seem to me like a sword wielding pirate warrior and a battle priest.

Read the "Missile weapon" skill once again. It's what you need. With specialization in shortbow, perhaps.

For now I think nearly anyone will be nice addition. We don't have pure fighters, thiefs, mages, etc.

Hmmm..... I'm going almost pure fighter/tank.
Sheet nearly finished now.

[AlleeCat]

My current sheet works right?

I don't understand... Are you going to be bashing people with your lute? I'm not sure I understand the purpose behind a bard with no magic and no Stealth or Thievery, either.
The only thing you really need to change is one of your combat skills. Melee: Stringed is not a valid combat skill. The Melee Weapons skill covers all melee weapons and includes improvised weapons as well, the downside being that there are no style bonuses (special abilities) that come with it.
If I were you, I'd put a few points into Thievery and change the Melee: Stringed to Rogue and carry a dagger or short sword, but that's just me.

The Missile Weapons skill is for using bows and crossbows without a combat skill, however, there are also two ranged combat skills; Bharata and Sharpshooter. Bharata usually favors traditional bows, whereas Sharpshooter focuses more on crossbows and black powder rifles.

So far, we don't have any mages. Nobody has taken any magic skills as far as I'm aware, and the big meaty magic system allows for a lot of customization in that regard.

Sheet up.
All good?

Spoiler: Clarification on Moral etc... (click to show/hide)

Moral: Must coat blood ring in blood of at least one opponent after battle, or remove finger - exceptions are made for a complete group of bloodless creatures, although a blood-substitute must be used where possible.
Speech impediment: Sibilance, and has difficulty pronouncing complex words.
Pet peeve: Pacifists

Backstory to come...

[Sirus]

I'm thinking of making a gorilla mage when I get home. Why? Because it sounds fun.

That won't be for several hours, mind.

Rogues can specialize in whips and such acording to the book. You do propose fair points though. I was mostly avoiding the more steally skills as I think I would need to explain them some.

And I think I changed the things around to be satisfactory.

1) Not big enough. Normal Shal'taka are 7 feet at most. You're with Large(3) an enormous brute... With 7'2" and weighting around 120 kg? Heh.
2) Barbarian skill. 6? Sadly, impossible. 5 point at skill at generation. So, (3) 2 is max, if GM won't say otherwise.
3) Your char resembles my own 
It might be good and might be be not. It adds that I said several pages back "we'll end with very different chars". Yeah. Silly me.

Both of these are valid. Large 3 would be at least 8 foot. You can only go up to 5 in a given skill in chargen. If you want to go higher, you'll have to improve it with character points later.

Also do you need equipment yet or just the sheets? If you want it now do we just roll for our wealth or is there a specific amount we each have?

You can have a set of armor, up to two weapons, and basic adventuring gear (rope, bags, bedrolls, tinderkits, etc.) for free, as long as it's character appropriate. So, no mages with broadswords, for example.

Up to two weapons: does this mean I get two free weapons and then have to pay if I want more? Or does it mean I am not allowed more than 2?
