OOC thread

checking on your character even now, love the pic btw. All you should worry about is your background and what you've done to now be lvl 3

"The new classes described in this supplement are considered subclasses of the Fighter. As such, they have the same
attack bonus and saving throws as Fighters of the same level.

@kbranden I see the following from your first sheet:

We will use the allocating of points for moving silently and hide and such so please list how you spend them (sry for the extra work). And lastly you need a favored enemy.

Hmm.. well, I'm confused then. The Ranger Sup says that for all purposes to use everything from a fighter.

"The new classes described in this supplement are considered subclasses of the Fighter. As such, they have the same
attack bonus and saving throws as Fighters of the same level.

This would be a +2 to attack at level 3 using the fighter attack bonus. The +1 was the ranged bonus based on my dex.

NOW.. with that, I did forget something from the Rangers Sup.

"Rangers are always expert bowmen. When using any regular bow (shortbow or longbow, but not crossbow), a Ranger adds +2 to his or her Attack Bonus."

if I understand this correctly, I should have an Attack Bonus of +2 because of being a fighter, but whenever I use a shortbow, I get the +2 range bonus for being an expert bowmen as well as a +1 for my dex.

So, I would think it would be +2 generic attack bonus, Melee bonus +0, Range Bonus (+3) Note: i+3 is only if using a short or longbow only, otherwise my range is just a +1.

That would be..
Using a melee weapon: attack bonus +2 (because fighter 3 level) +0 no strangth bonus = +2
Using a ranged weapon that is not a short or longbow (+2 attack bonus and +1 dex bonus) = +3
Using a short or longbow (+2 attack bonus for fighter 3 level), +2 for expert bowman, +1 for dex = +5.

What am I missing?

Oh, and my Chosen Enemy is on my char sheet as Orc. I get +3 damage against them I believe.

God I feel like I'm talking too much but I'd also like to ask about the necromancer class supplement, seeing as how we are doing Curse of Strahd it seems like it might be very on theme and gothic-horror cool. Like maybe an exiled female elven necromancer; cast out from her people for working forbidden magics or something.

Right on. Earlier you mentioned being able to use the rules supplements from basicfantasy.org, one of the supplements for mages is the inclusion of cantrips as 0 level spells. Can I use this?

Yeah, from what I am reading, you just roll another Hit die and add it to your HP. If you keep adding them up like your suggesting each level, you would end up having a MASSIVE amount of HP by 20th level potentially. Wiki also has a good read on how Hit Dice are used via all the systems AD&D 1e seems to parallel this method.

But, also remember, if you start out at level 3, your roll your Hit Dice that many times and add your Con Bonus 3 times as well. (One for each HD added)

Also, after the 9th level, you just add the 'constant number' EDited: with NO con bonus actually.
