So, we potentially have 5 players! Any ideas about characters and roles?
I'd like to place myself on the list as the sixth at this point in line and take a spot in the 5 if someone doesn't continue with their potential, of those already in line ahead of me.

I have played SWN in a short lasting campaign a few years ago, but haven't looked at WWN yet. I'll do so now.

My really rough concept would be a Dhaoine female Druid (either Shifter or Necromancer) possibly looking for some payback on the Empire for their past wrongs and destroying ancestral homelands.

Stats: I like randomness so I will roll.

"Roll your six attributes in order or assign them
from an array, using Strength, Dexterity, Constitution,
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. Attributes
reflect the basic potential of your hero.
Roll 3d6 six times and assign them in order, or
use an array of 14, 12, 11, 10, 9, 7 assigned as you
wish. If you randomly roll your scores you may
then pick one attribute to change to a score of 14."

So that is: 13,12,11,11,9,7 and change the 7 to 14.

For background rolls: Besides Sail 0
5 Exert, 5 Heal, 3 Craft

@PiebaldWookie,

Where would I find details on Skinshifters?
Ah - they are in the full version of the game! The Deluxe Core Rules has them.

Looks good! I will get proper character sheets set up when I create the game, need to make custom ones!

Let's just start with stats.

Rolls

Strength - (3d6)

(545) = 14

Dexterity - (3d6)

(151) = 7

Constitution - (3d6)

(244) = 10

Intelligence - (3d6)

(333) = 9

Wisdom - (3d6)

(363) = 12

Charisma - (3d6)

(642) = 12

Jul 13, 2023 1:23 am
Well that was pretty good. I think I'll swap out the 7 Dexterity for 14, giving me Str 14 Dex 14 Con 10 Int 9 Wis 12 Cha 12. Not too shabby.

After much deliberation, I'll go ahead and roll for skills as well. Background is Slave, giving me Sneak-0. Sorry for the influx of repeat posts, but I'm going to do these one at a time so I can decide which table to roll on next. We'll start with Learning, because I definitely want to grab some skills.

Rolls

Slave Learning Table - (1d8)

(4) = 4

Jul 13, 2023 1:24 am
Alright, I've got Convince-0. Let's do another.

Rolls

Slave Learning Table - (1d8)

Jul 13, 2023 1:25 am
Huh. Convince-1. Not what I would have chosen, but not terrible. Guess I'll stick to the same table.

Rolls

Slave Learning Table - (1d8)

(1) = 1

Administer-0. Okay, then.

I am planning on having my character be Human too. Do humans get an extra Foci? I saw the Foci for being Non-human. Are we using that for anyone who plans on playing a race other than Human?

It's not that you get an extra Focus,, you just don't need to spend one of your starting Foci on an origin. Still a bit more flexible, but not massively.

Hey, when running a ship, Administer can be very useful!

Indeed! I was hoping I'd run into an Any Skill on one of the rolls, but rolling is rolling.

Question about Change Form:

At 1st level a Skinshifter gets one alternate form. If that form had wings, say a hawk, would it be able to fly? I ask, because the wording in the Grow Wings art is confusing to me. Is Grow Wings, only to allow flying for forms that naturally can't fly or to allow any form to fly even if it should already have wings and can fly?
Jul 13, 2023 6:35 pm
So, the text to me says they need Manifest Wings to fly;

"A Skinshifter’s alternate forms use the same hit
points, character attributes, and movement speed as their
normal form, unless modified by particular arts."

So no new movement options or speeds, unless an Art modifies it.

"Manifest Wings: This shape can form usable wings."

Further implies that you need Manifest Wings to be able to fly, as it modified the form to be able to use it's wings.

That's my reading, anyway!
Jul 13, 2023 9:20 pm
Oh, RageRed - you have one too many Foci. You get Change Form and two Any Ones - the part about the "Free Focus" refers to getting Any One, not an extra one.

I only have one Foci. The one all characters get at level 1. I have fixed that in my work sheet.
She has three Arts (not Foci) as per instructions in the text in the two charts (page 64) that Mage classes get all their starting Arts and 1 Free Foci pick.
Quote:
As per both partial classes, gaining each level’s art picks as usual.
Necromancers begin with one Art pick and Skinshfiters begin with two.
