Huh. I had not considered dropping stats to buy more magic. 35 spells per stat point is pretty abusable, and probably worth a single HP. Clever.

I do doubt backpacks and guard work like that, however. The former really doesn't make sense to stack with itself, and the latter specifies that you must be wielding the gun; while you miiight be able to dual-wield a pistol and chainsaw, I highly doubt you can wield three pistols at the same time. As Toaster pointed out, the guard spell only works with bullets loaded in the weapon, so that gives you a hard cap of 20 bonus HP at a time, assuming you're also wielding the chainsaw. Of course, you can swap out to backup guard pistols, but I can't see how that wouldn't cost an action, which a melee character can't really afford.

Finally, that char has no ability to dodge or cover whatsoever, so it'll soak a lot of damage. In this system, it really wouldn't be unbelieveable for that character to soak 26 damage in a turn, which will kill it even with a critical guard pistol.

This is actually a flaw even if backpacks and guard do work like you assume--while you start quite tough, on average you need to make $10 for every damage you take, not including the cost of guard spells (~$2880?), and assuming more pistols are the most efficient source of pistol ammo. Since a kill gives ~$30, you need to take less than three damage from each guy you kill, which will be difficult since you have no dodge or cover whatsoever. Of course, you have a large amount of reserve HP to start with, so you'll be able to get levelups and increase your efficiency, but you're also starting significantly behind the power curve due to all the points you spent on money in chargen.

Also, ricochet is essentially worthless for you. Get flicker, so the chainsaw's more useful.

Keep in mind that he can heal/armorafy/ammo-fy/cashify with each kill, in addition to actually looting the corpses/environment.

Actually corpses, player or not, don't drop anything. Or at least they don't drop ammo, armor, or money. They might sometimes drop weapons. The "Thing you get" for killing simulates that.

Think of this with video game logic.

You scan the room but find nothing more dangerous in here than some bloody splinters and a corpsey trip and fall hazard. Your knife was destroyed when you threw it and none of these corpses have anything of value on them unless you want a blood soaked preppy outfit.

As per the room, there's a knife in one of the cabinets and a note in the fridge the reads "I OWE U 1 SANDWICH." It's written in mustard.

You hide beside the fridge. From your location you can see into the next room. Its a fairly big room, just as fancy as this one, with two big recliner chairs, several book cases and a CRTV on a fancy little pedestal. The tv is on, and its showing some sort of saturday morning cartoon about muscular men in leather shooting skeletons with laser rifles.

The room is otherwise empty.

Well, can't Johnny Cash just give all of his money to another PC before suicide?

Then again, with 1's in all stats, I wouldn't be surprised if attempting to do that would kill him.

@piecewise: Does the Guard spell apply to ammo for the enchanted gun that isn't inside of it? For example, let's say you have 12 pistol rounds, ten of which are inside of your pistol. You cast successfully Guard on your pistol. Do you get 10 extra effective HP or 12?

How many pistols can I hold in one hand while still technically "wielding" them?

Nope.

No, only applies to ammo in the gun itself. And the thing only effects 1 gun so taping 10 together won't help you.

The knife is a generic butcher knife, not balanced for throwing, but it might work for that in a pinch. Really, with melee weapons and throw skill, you can throw chainsaws and do damage equal to a melee attack with them, so it doesn't much matter. The drawers in the contertop have been rumaged and ransacked already; there's nothing in there thats useful to you.
