Oh, I thought that Cthulufaic was first. Cool.

Sure, I'll help Scotsmen. I kinda abandoned him.

Oh wait, nevermind, he still needs to allocate his skill points.

A lot of people are close to being done, but still need to allocate skill points (That's the biggest one I'm seeing), choose feats, choose spells (another common one) and that's pretty much it for most people.
Still a bit fuzzy on that, dunno how many skill points I have to spend.

Wizards get...

How many skill points do wizards get? I forgot.
And then you add your intelligence to it.

Well, Scotsmen, you don't need to worry about spells because level 1 rangers can't use them and sorcerers can't cast spells if their charisma is less than 10 (so you don't have any).

Feats are chosen from this list: http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/feats.htm   You get one at first level, an additional one because you happen to be human, and you get the Track feat for free (which you already have on your sheet, so that's good) from being a ranger. Decent options are Toughness (gives you some bonus HP, never bad), Point Blank Shot or Power Attack (the first one if you think you'll use ranged weapon, the second if you think you'll be in melee, your preference), or maybe Improved Initiative so you can go first in combat (always useful). Feel free to poke around that page and ask if a given feat is worthwhile.

Skills are... slightly more complicated. I'll post an update in a sec.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Ah, it's in classes.  I was looking in skills.  I'll find it and update my sheet.

EDIT: Holy balls I get 20 skill points at level 2.  For wizards, its (2 + Intelligence modifier) x 4 for the first level and then 2+the modifier for every subsequent level.

Cthulufaic has an INT bonus of 2, so he'll get whatever wizards get + 2, and then multiply that by 5 (since you're level 2) and you can put a max of 5 points into a single skill.

Okay, I think it's done.  Not sure what the Knowledge skills are but I dumped a bunch of points into them because they seem important.

You need to specify the actual kind of knowledge it is (such as history, nobility, arcana, stuff like that) and it gives you information on them.

Since I was planning on refusing to tell you anything about the setting unless you succeed on some knowledge checks, that's probably a good plan.

Ok, I'm thinking Point Blank Shot and Run. Any thoughts?

Also, skills?

Wow, I am systematically terrible across the board (and by terrible I mean "if I rolled these stats, the game would tell me to reroll").  On the bright side, I can theoretically cast spells.  Ummm, do we even have enough spare slots for another person? 

Spoiler: Detailed Results (click to show/hide)

I've decided to go with worshiping the Flying Spaghetti Monster, with the Atheism Domain and Culinary Domain. Are they okay, Mastahcheese?

The athiesm domain gives you spell resistance against cleric spells? Jegug, that's powerful.
Homebrew is a tricky thing.

Done~  Changed my dood a little bit to reflect what knowledge skills he has.

That's not that many skill points, Cthulufaic. Rogues get 8+Int per level, so a first level Rogue with 14 Int gets 40 skill points.

Run let's you make a run action for x3 speed.

Mastahcheese, can I make a History check at +8 to find out about the setting?

Run evidently increases my running speed and also lets me gain a +4 bonus on my Jump check (whatever that is) with a running start. It also lets me keep my Dex bonus while running.
