Weird thing about Reroll Aces functionality on Gamers Plane: it does the opposite of what you'd expect, it seems. It rerolls the 6s. :/

Anyways, welcome!

It's for certain systems with 'exploding' dice mechanics. In those, when you roll max you get to roll again. Never played those systems, but I've heard of the mechanic. Though it could have a better label lol

The name is a little confusing...but the mechanic is sound. We used it a lot in oWoD games.

DJForeclosure, your sheet looks good. I'm just waiting on equipment before I approve everything.

And you guys can't see it, but I'm rubbing my hands in anticipation. If I had a evil lap kitty, I'd be stroking it while chuckling with glee...

Mu. Ha. Ha.

I also have a lot of backstory writing to do, so there should be a lot more to read for my character(s) in due time.

As far as equipment goes, does anyone have any recommendations? There's so much out there I was just planning on using the core book's basic stuff...

Don't go too nuts on the backstory unless you just want to. Just some basic stuff that your teammates would know about you is good enough for right now.

There are all kinds of kits and such that have the necessities for being an adventurer in Ultimate Equipment and the Advanced Player's Guide. I always like recommending that players take a look at those when deciding on gear.

For instance, there's a Summoner's kit that has a backpack, a bedroll, a belt pouch, a flint and steel, an iron pot, a mess kit, soap, torches (10), trail rations (5 days), and a waterskin, all for about 8 GP

Welcome aboard, Kaosanddoom!

irvanovich, the money that was rolled is in addition to the money left over from equipment purchasing, correct? Can we assume we have a safe place to store some of the money while only carrying around a bit of spending cash? (Does it even matter?) :-)

Xulara would be happy to hide the gold for you. No one will ever find it, promise!

Yes, any gold leftover from purchasing gear before the start of game is added to the amount you rolled.

And it is plausible that you have a footlocker or chest in your guild hall accomodations, but that's something you'd have to purchase for yourself. :)

On second thought I think I'll just exchange most of it for PP so I can keep it with me. :-)

I appreciate the offer, but all that a true paladin requires is the blessing of his patron deity. Everything else is just for comfort.

Oh...oh goody. A 1 out of 100. That's...that's...muhahahaha

Going to roll for my Eidolon's health, and then I think I'm finished with the mechanics of my character creation. I'm assuming that my Eidolon will get max HP for Level 1, so it'll just be Levels 2 and 3 I roll for.

Edit: So 24 total. Not bad? I guess? We'll see. Also, I don't know the details on the Eidolon's Claw or Slam attacks, so I filled in things like Crit and Type just based on guesses. If there's anything wrong there, let me know.

Rolls

Eidolon HP - (2d10+3)

(65) + 3 = 14
