Character Roster (post your character here)

It's actually just a Pearl of Power that lets me recall one first level spell per day as if I hadn't cast it and I can then cast it again.

I have it marked as divine favor, because that's what I'll most likely use it on.

Ah, I see. Okay then.

Oh man, I totally missed those alchemical items! Got any Alchemical Flare arrows, or are those crossbow bolts only?

Speaking of ammo, I applied the guild discount to common arrows only, not the silvered ones nor the blunt ones.

Do I even need silvered ammo? I'm thinking about the lycanthropes (which is my mission at the moment). I do have a +1 magic bow.

You could buy them as arrows, but as a bundles of 10 only. You can apply your discount to the silvered arrow as well. I consider silver weapons to be common enough. Lycanthropes are not the only ones to have weakness to silver.

OK, cool! But I still wonder: silvered ammo is intended to overcome certain creatures' damage reduction, yes? Doesn't the +1 magical enhancement conferred by the bow to a common arrow already do that? Just want to make sure I'm not being redundant here.

You actually have to have a +3 weapon to overcome silver/cold iron. The silver on the weapon is still useful to us for a while yet :)

Ah. OK then. Will finish up the character,in the next hour, and jump into the Prologue. :-)

The only thing I see (so far) that needs to be corrected is that you don't add Weapon Focus to damage, only attack rolls.

Good catch! Will fix it. Thanks!

Are "trained-only" skills a thing in Pathfinder? There are some skills I have on my sheet just because they are class skills, but I didn't put any ranks in them, so the numbers you are seeing in the stat block are just my ability bonuses. I know Climb and Swim can be used untrained, but what about Knowledge (History), Craft, and Profession?

Look at this table. If it says "Yes" in the column labeled "Untrained", then you can use it without ranks. If it says "No", then you can't use it until you put a rank in it.

Thanks! I can't believe I missed that! So, pretty much like 3.5e then.

Hello guys, finally had some time to finish my guy (it's been a copule crazy weeks at the office).

I see a couple of problems here:

1. Your weapon isn't a +1 weapon, so it can't have any additional properties (Adaptive, Ghost Touch, and Undead Bane. You also can't afford to add a +1, so you're gonna have to remove either Undead Bane or Ghost Touch and replace it with the +1.

2. I don't see Exotic Weapon Proficiency for the Katana, which means you will take a -4 to attack rolls with that weapon.

3. You don't roll for animal companion HP, you take the average. Your Animal Companion should have 16 HP.

Isn't the katana basically a bastard sword? So he would nave no problem with it so long as he wields it with both hands? Also, there are creatures other than lycanthropes which have DR that can be bypassed by silvered weapons, so that line about bypassing DR of lycanthropes is not entirely accurate.

Ahh, I see now! I missed the part about being a martial weapon in two hands. My mistake!

I saw it in the "exotic" category and assumed. Silly me

The katana is listed under the Tengu racial weapons, would that be ok? if not I'll change it. I'll change the silver weapon line to "...creatures such as...." and also fix those other things right now.

Ok, fixed the silver thing, the animal companion HP, and the bow (removed ghost touch and added a regular +1 so same price).

That depends. Does it says the tengu treat the katana as a martial weapon instead of an exotic one?
