Hey guys, seeing as my original saturday group got cancelled, I wondered if I could join here?

Yea you can join. Refer to the OP. You should be starting your character at level 2. Also you get Heroic Durability feat for free which would have changed your HPs there. (5 is just wrong )

Also, your ability points look wrong to me. It is done with the 32 point buy system. Maybe I am missing an adjustment there somewhere? +2 con -2 cha, means 16 (10), 16(10), 14(6), 8(0), 10(2), 14(6). 34?

I got beaten to the draw on that one. Also, tank goodness for tanks, the group is lacking in them. It's getting hard to find appropriate-CR encounters that don't utterly demolish the hordes of squishies.

And Kogan beat me to the draw concerning Araph as well; if you'd just shown up and continued to play Araph, I'd just have been like "'k, btw your group has moved the ship to the docks and joined back up with the rest of the party". But if you want to make a new character, I suppose that's fine.

Wow... How does Vaba Jidoiit have 23 dexterity at level 2? Is it a racial thing?

Yea, Vaba is a Githzerai which have +6 dex.

Also technically he is level one; Shoruke let me lower LA by one since PC's can't use psionics.

[RAM]

One small thing, why does a dwarven barbarian have 16 dexterity? I mean, if you want to be a dwarven barbarian gymnast, that is a welcome bit of character, but the roll-player in me wants it mentioned.

P.S.
 You get maximum HP at 1st level. Assuming that you take the average hit points option, you get 12 for Barb 1, 6 for barb 2(or 7 if we are rounding up for some reason), 10 for being a hero, and 6 for 16 constitution, A.K.A. 34.

[Theoboldi]

Okay, I fixed it.
Is it correct now?

Backstory:
      Uskton Slek was, like so many other dwarfes, born in the city of Greḷtis Rinde. He was born to a poor family, that often had to beg for food and other things richer dwarfes could easily afford. They didn't have the money to have their children teached, which led to them all being Illiterat and uneducated. Usktons Live was miserable with the way his life went, never being able to eat his full, always having to do without the things he wanted. So one day, he decided to find fortune in other places. He took the Axe of his father and ran away from his home. From that day on, Uskton travelled. He travelled from city to city, always in search for something to do. Sometimes, someone needed a strong arm for some hard labor or as a mercenarie and hired him. Sometimes, there was no work, and Uskton had to hunger. His live went like that for three years now.

About the high dexterity, I didn't actually think about that.
Can't we just put it under willing suspension of disbelief?
But seriously, any ideas how to explain it are of course welcome.

[The Fool]

I think the dex thing is not a problem. You can have a character that just dodges things, like a boxer, not overly acrobatic but dodges punches (which the extra 3 AC could do). I mean it's not like your taking tumbling levels. It should be fine.

[Kogan Loloklam]

Dwarves don't get penalties to dexterity. Read my Sig and stop with your stereotyping!

Also, why does everyone count Pheron out for tankiness? It's probably because Maelrigar kills everything so darn fast that I never really needed to be at the front lines.

Meh. Well after this shopping trip I'll be looking to get a good deal better at it anyway.

[Araph]

And Kogan beat me to the draw concerning Araph as well; if you'd just shown up and continued to play Araph, I'd just have been like "'k, btw your group has moved the ship to the docks and joined back up with the rest of the party". But if you want to make a new character, I suppose that's fine.

Thanks!
Would you be willing to approve a homebrewed-ish race? It's a monster race, but it's nerfed to what a normal race would be like.

Spoiler: Pixie Race (click to show/hide)

Pixie -- Player Race

    * +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, –4 Strength, –2 Constitution.
    * Small size: +1 bonus to Armor Class, +1 bonus on attack rolls, +4 bonus on Hide checks, –4 penalty on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits 3/4 of those of Medium characters.
    * A pixie's base land speed is 20 feet.
    * A pixie's base flight speed is 30 feet (good).
    * When flying, all attack rolls made by the pixie have a -2 penalty.
    * Low light vision.
    * Fey
    * +2 racial bonus on Spot, Listen, and Search checks.
    * Automatic Languages: Common, Sylvan. Bonus Languages: Elven, Gnome, Halfling.
    * Favored Class: Rogue

I know that flying is usually pretty iffy, which is why there's the roll penalty and the lower than normal ability modifiers.

[RedWarrior0]

That doesn't have a maneuverability for the fly speed.

I suggest you take Weapon Finesse if Shor approves the race.

LLV isn't out to a certain range; it's Darkvision that has a range.

The vanilla pixie has sorcerer as favored class, so I'd think that would stay the same


EDIT: Also, how recent is the party inventory?

[Araph]

Ah, my bad. I'll fix those things. About the favored class, I switched it to rogue because a) it still fits with pixies and b) if I didn't it would kill me in the later parts of the game.

EDIT: Does the title of the thread apply to today?

[The Fool]

@Araph: There should be a session today. Which I can now go to because I'm sick today. Hooray for illness!

@Kogan: The reason I don't consider your character a tank is because it's balanced. It has fair HP, and a decent AC score, but neither are high enough to say "I can tank a group of enemies and not die." You can take hits. There is no denying that, but you can't pull everyone without being in danger.

Although the snake battle with Maelrigar was kind of surprising. I wouldn't have guessed that the snakes would be so ridiculous in a group. So maybe the whole tank debate depends on what your fighting.

[Theoboldi]

A little question here, around what time will the session be?

[Shoruke]

I cast an aside-glance at that race, but I'll give it an okay if you remove the +2 search, spot and listen bonuses, and give it a new name... because pixies (well, pixie sprites) already exist.

The session starts in 1 hour, 25 minutes from now.

[Kogan Loloklam]

We doing Hamatchi today?

[RedWarrior0]

I have dinner right now so I may be up to an hour late.

[Shoruke]

...You're going to be eating for another hour and 40 minutes? If you'd said "I have a dinner party right now" I'd get it, but YEESH.

Also, I don't think we'll be using Hamachi. I didn't need it for the last session, and I hope for everyone's sake we don't need it now.

EDIT for other news! Today's session will be no more than 4 hours, 25 minutes long. This is because, 4.5 hours after the session starts (or should have started), I need to be crossing the threshold of my house, on my way to rescue my surviving friends and family from the cold, harsh inner reaches of Saskatoon.
