((Mostly to check if this character concept is acceptable. Will come back and add the actual "Character" part later. I apologize for the fun I had making this, as it is currently 11:00 PM.))

what stats affect sorcery and innate magic?

It depends on how you use that magic. Control of something outside yourself will require will. Self buffs or damage to others will typically require constitution. Attenpts to gain understanding will require intelligence.
The pluses and negatives scale like they do in ER. so, according to the er character calculator, you have too many positive points for the negative ones. I edited the OP to make that clearer. I removed the free starting +1 because I think that isn't in ER and it works that way. I'm just trying to keep it balanced. Sorry for the confusion.

Same for you Egan. the concept is fine, but the stats are too high.

[Egan_BW]

you cant just give away a free plus one and then take it away grumble grumble
Also moved my stats around in a way that seems ER-legal.

sorry, very sorry. Thank you for being my guinea pig person. Wait, you DID say you wanted to be a Guinea Pig Person, right? Not Hamsterperson or GerbilPerson?

Name:Jack Spark
Race:Human

Stats:
Strength:-2
Constitution:+1
Speed:0
Dexterity:0
Intelligence:+1
Memory:+1
Will:0
Charisma:-2

Skills:
Unarmed combat:-2
Blunt weapons:-2
Sharp weapons:0
Ranged weapons:
Magic:+2
Medicine:0
General knowledge:0
Skill Mastery:+1

Specializations:
 Elemental Magic:Fire
 Magic Rituals
 Regeneration Magic
 Protection Magic

Description:Jack stands just a hair under 6 feet, has blue eyes and brown hair, and is always seen with a smirk-unless you get him mad, which is distressingly often.
Reason for joining:Jack has an unfortunately short fuse, which is bad for a fire mage. He charred an entire bar full of patrons when one called him a "weak pansy ass" and was subsequently sentenced to the Omega Legion.
Background: He was apprentice to the fire mage Tuck Blueflame from the age of three, and only recently was a Journeyman on his own.

Silly Ozark! Rodents aren't people, they're food! snek.

[Ozarck]

Stats work like this

+1 requires -1
(+1, +1) or +2 requires -1, -1, -1, or -1, -2
+1, +1, +1 or +1, +2 requires -6, divided up

so in short, it's
1 for -1
2 for -3
3 for -6
4 for -10

So stat's really work like this:
your first +1 requires a -1. your second +1 requires a second -1.
your next increase requires -2
next requires -3
next requires -4

Tryrar has it right. Tryrar, you have one extra minus in each stats and two in skills. Also pick four "skills" specializations. Elemental magic: Fire counts as one, leaving three more.

That's not how ER stats work though. That's fine, it's just that you said you were using that calculator before?

isn't it? send me a pm explaining it to me then so we don't further clutter this part of the thread

[TheBiggerFish]

... Yeah, I THOUGHT something was up.

It's +1/-1, +1+1/-2, +2/-3, +1+2/-4, +2+2/-7, etc. right?

It's that the second +1 is also a -1, not a -2.  If it's +2 it's still at -3 though.

[Unholy_Pariah]

so wait... if it is infact ER rules... doesnt that mean I have one too many negatives in my stats?

one skill too many though...

[TheBiggerFish]

I'm so confused.

[Ozarck]

yeah. that's it. sorry for the confusion.
