I just want to remind everyone that if you don't send me your sheet in an easily editable format, I can't accept it. That means it must be a .pdf, text document, or spreadsheet. (Yes, I've done character sheets in spreadsheet format.) Images do not count. I need something that I don't have to open up Photoshop to edit. If Adobe Reader/Acrobat won't let you save the .pdf, download Foxit Reader. It's free and will allow you to save the file, and on top of that, it's generally more stable in my experience.
Downloaded mine sheet as another file from my earlier link and it worked fine. Does it work on your end?

From how far north is Northern fire power? Because if it's from really far north it must be horrendous or excellent.

New and Improved Character sheet.

Point out any wrongdoing, please :P Or just general character screwups I wouldnt catch because I've never used this system before...

Edit: And my shrug and save are being modified by race and liability, respectively, so at leasts that not wrong. No need to point that out.

Well, three mages is officially too many. Time to come up with a new idea.

Any gunpowder-using characters yet? Being a pistolier with a brace of guns sounds appealing.

You'd need a whole lotta pistols in extended combat, since it takes 4 rounds to reload a black powder weapon. A swashbuckler would be cool, though. They get quick draw, so they can draw and use a weapon in the same action, and they don't get the usual penalty for fighting from a moving platform.

That's kinda what I'm thinking. Several pistols, the ability to shoot them while moving (on a mount, preferably), probably with some melee weapon training for when the pistols run dry.

I was wondering, which school of magic is best suited for teleporting objects? And can objects switch places with each other?

I don't think that's a thing you can do. Necromancy will let you give life to inanimate objects, but I can't find any teleporting spells.

Well, that's a shame. Looks like quick draw would give much the same effect as what I was hoping to do anyway.

Basically, I had a thought in my head while driving: a character fires a pistol, and then using some sort of teleportation spell swaps it with a loaded one. Then he/she would fire the second pistol before using the same spell to swap it with a third, and so forth. I pictured a pirate loaded with nearly a dozen pistols firing them all in succession without pausing.

Heh, that's exactly what quick draw is for. Plus, spells take up an action regardless of requirements, so you would fire in one action, swap with another action, and then fire with a third action. It would be the same as drawing and firing without quickdraw.

Yeah, I can see that. Taking a mix of Swashbuckling and Sharpshooting seems like the way to go, especially since Sharpshooting reduces the number of rounds it takes to reload (still gonna bring plenty of guns).
Now if I could just figure out which race to play as....

Orcs have a high AGL cap, which would help with Swashbuckler, but a low DEX cap, which would hinder Sharpshooter. Elves are pretty balanced, lacking a little STR, which they make up for in MANA. Humans have straight 6s for all caps, which makes them versatile, but hard to minmax.

I don't think that minmaxing is a good option here. One must be quite versale to survive. I was thinking about minmaxing myself, but eventually found that I can't go for 6/7 (huge STR was bio-inspired choice) in any attribute without severly damaging my perspectives for a long life...

Also remember, if you hit 0 in MANA, you become a ghost, no longer tethered to the Web of Life. If you hit 0 SPIRIT, you become a zombie, mindlessly wandering without a soul, cut off from the gods. Of course, the only things that can lower those stats are the gods themselves, or dying in a specific way.
