Roll Table

J, I've decide my guy will be Nicean, drawing inspiration from the stories of Greek mercenary armies, like The Ten Thousand. His name will be Xenophon. Art TBA.

Question about Origin Area Advantage: is prerequisite ability score and prime requisite ability score the same thing?

Question about hit points: The core book offers two options for starting HP: rolling and taking the max. Which would you like us to do?

It was announced somewhere that we start with max HP.

That sounds rad. Looking forward to this Nicean powerhouse.

Ha! Ya, I messed up on that. Prime Requisite is what I meant. Changed it on the CharGen.

And lastly - yes, as Cowley says I threw it in a quick mention on the fly but just got a chance to add it to CharGen official thread: HP is MAX at Level 1. After that - ROLLIN'!!!!

Hi everyone!

Rolling blind on the fly, after a quick stop by the CharGen rules thread. I will make a pit stop at RPGNET next. The ACKS .pdfs are on sale this weekend for DMs Day.

Switching out WIS and STR. Adding +2 to CHA and +1 to DEX

Red is crushing the Ability Scores rolls, nonchalant setting up for Max DEX as she heads out the door to go shopping.

J - Do the Tireneans have anything like gladiatorial combat? I am thinking that my character could have dabbled in the arena as a retiarius styled fighter - net and spear.

Net gives +2 to wrestle. With a spear, two weapon fighting gives a additional +1 atk. I could also use my class proficiency to take weapon finesse so those attacks are with DEX, giving an additional +1.

Similarly, could do this style with a range focus. Using bolas instead of a net and hurling javelins/spears. Taking the skirmisher proficiency lets him keep backing out of melee, tripping them up with the bolas, then pelting with spears when they are down. This works out pretty well with the spear then too, as he could fight with spear from second rank while the meatheads hold the frontline. (Would two weapon fighting work from second rank?)

I am also thinking that this character would have only dabbled in the arena, finding that they were of more use on the wings helping to treat the wounds of the combatants with Healing proficiency. What do you guys think? I might make that two ranks of healing to gain cure light wounds, supplementing our cleric.

I am planning to take 'laying hands', which is just for hp. If you take the 'healing' proficiency it will complement nicely, because 'healing' deals with diseases and poisons as well.

Ultimately I think you should take whatever you think will be fun and fit your idea of the character.

Ok, the rest will be filled out on the character sheet...Unless I am overlooking another roll.

Spring roll

Duh! I'm supposed to be rolling 3d6

Rolling for starting wealth

Rolled 6, 6, 6 = 18x10 = 180gp! All that work on the sidelines tending to wounds really paid off!

Languages: Auran and Nicean. Should be just barely literate with an INT of 9.

Looking forward to proficiencies, I'm thinking Xenophon's common proficiency will be Seafaring, which goes along nicely with a Nicean sellsword whose company sailed off to distant lands to fight for foreign gold. Might be helpful if the adventure takes us on the water. His fighter proficiency will probably be Fighting Style - Weapon and Shield.

Innate genius and starting wealth.
