I think we should use original currencies the way Araph listed them.

[The Fool]

Here is my character sheet so far. I left out a lot of skills that I didn't put levels into.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Baraqel the Fallen, formerly Brand Hallowday

Strength: -2
Fortitude: 0
Agility: -2
Dexterity: 6
Intelligence: 8
Willpower: 6
Charisma: 0

Physical:

Bone Doctoring - 2
Wound Dressing - 3

I see a problem in having skills level up the way they do right now. While I can understand jumping and blocking leveling up fast, skills like Bone Doctoring will see no love. Right now I need to set 10 broken bones to level up again. If I was at level 4 then I'd need to set 20 broken bones. To say the least that might be the absolute slowest of all the skills, and it's a necessity for any adventure group. Could you consider another method of leveling up skills? Or boosting the rates of some skills?

[Araph]

What are your focuses? I'm assuming Analytical Ability is your primary, which would make it so that leveling up Bone Doctoring would take 5 bones set, then 9, then 13, then 17, etc. I was considering putting ways to better your skills through study, but I want to make sure it wouldn't be abused by the munchkins. Barring that, we may have to have skills level up at different rates. That would take a good chunk more accounting to keep track of, though. Maybe it could work where if you have books or essays on a mental subject, you can study over time to augment lesser used skills.

Then again, maybe people will break a lot of bones. It shouldn't be too hard to make that happen.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Isn't it only possible to have 4 in any stat from the beginning, or has that change since the ruleset was initially put up?

A few common methods are to start with each attribute at negative two and add thirty points total to the attributes (a maximum of six points can be added to any given attribute), or to start at negative three in each attribute and roll eight d6’s; then choose which attribute to add the results of each roll to.

[The Fool]

That sheet is using the revision on page 3. Your bonus is half the attribute rounded down, and you have 30 points to distribute.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Ah, OK. Thanks. I was working with the link from the first page. ^^^;

[Araph]

D'oh! I forgot to change that bit.

It now works similarly to DnD; your modifier is equal to the attribute score divided by two. Mostly to try to avoid min-maxing.

Wait, wait... Yeah, the maximum points spendable in an attribute... Ok, changing that from six to eight.

Aaaaaaand ninja'd. Twice.

Jeez. I leave for a few hours and the discussion explodes.

Well, considering the

I suppose I should go with a sort of knightly character. I assumed that, since magic is a fairly rare and dangerous thing, that magic would be more of a support skill and characters with a focus on it wouldn't really... exist. And what situation does the knowledge skill come into play, exactly?

[Araph]

Magic isn't really rare, but it is dangerous. I tried to make it sort of hit-or-miss, without too high a risk of death. To be truly effective at magic, you'd have to pull a Vaarsuvius and suck at most other things. Sub-specs will make individual fields of magic far easier and safer, though. Generalized wizards will be in more danger.

[Gatleos]

Oh, I see. In that case, there should probably be a few more "schools" of magic to choose from. Just to give specialized magic-users more variety.

Anyway, I'd suggest Martial Artist as a warrior sub-spec, with a focus on hand-to-hand, acrobatics and dodging. Sort of a fast-moving, bare-fisted monk-type character. And then I'd immediately choose it.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Hmm, how's this?

It seems I'm STILL confused about stats... I've added in a second number for each stat. If the originals aren't correct (too low) then use the second.

There are three humans already, so I might be either a half-elf or an orc. Not sure which one though.

[The Fool]

All your stats start at -2. You used 44 points instead of 30.

And you wouldn't guess that a Fallen was human at first glance. It has horns and an altered face structure. I might just draw that out.

Don't forget, you also get 6 skill points to spend in your primary focus' skills.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Who are you talking to, Fool? Me or BD? The original set I used was them starting at -2, but you and BD have a few impossibly high stats so I was confused (unless I read it wrong the maximum you should be able to have in any stat is 6: -2+8 = 6). Anyway, redid my sheet concerning stats and adding points: +1 to my four lesser class skills and +2 to my primary class skill.

I was working under the assumption that +4 would be the max starting bonus. I'll grab my sheet and change it since Araph wants +6 to be the max for starting attributes. Which was completely false as it turns out. See next page.
