Character Creation rules

On second thought, Meticulous might work better. Damn, there are too many options.

How does Metamagic work?

You prepare a spell at a higher level in order to grant it a special effect. Shocking Grasp maxes out at level 5, at 5d6 damage. If I use the Intensified Spell metamagic, I can prepare it as a level two spell in order to increase the maximum damage dice up to 10d6.

This page gives a lot of info!

And as usual, Naatkinson beats me to the punch.

I don't completely get it, but let's say I do. If I have Magical Lineage plus a Metamagic feat that increases the casting level (let's say Intensified Spell), would that mean that for one particular spell I'd need to have a 2nd level spell slot open, but it would only expend a 1st spell slot (but cast as a level 2 with all the same benefits?)

You'd prepare it as a level 1 spell, but it would cast as you'd used the Metamagic on it.

OK I think I got it! So it doesn't have to be a level that you already have if you have the Magical Lineage trait?

So then with a WIS score of 18 how many more can I cast per day? +4 per spell level, is it?

With a Wis score of 18, you get 1 bonus spell per day for 1st level, and when you get ability to cast them as you level up, you'll have a bonus 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level spell, too.

Not doubting you, but how do you figure that? Oh, Mathfinder!

I pulled this table from the Paizo PRD, where it talks about ability scores and such under Getting Started. It's about 3/4 of the way down the page, under Abilities and Spellcasters :)

Aha! Thanks! :-)

No problem!

Jabes, as a Warpriest of Asmodeus, I could also see you taking the Zealous drawback, instead of Power-Hungry. Either one would work wonderfully, in my eyes.

Yeah, was considering that too. I don't really have a back story yet. The back story will dictate traits and drawbacks. :-)

Once Jabes gets his character submitted and his intro posted, I'll make the first post in Act I, and we'll get this shindig started. :D

I've revamped my char sheet. I may still adjust done skills. Let me know if anything is wonky.

Oh crap, sorry for holding things up! Will try to get it together by tonight.

Got a couple of questions for you, so I'm gonna ask 'em in a note.

Oh, and Jabes, take your time. You're not holding things up too awful much. I never actually gave a time or date to get started :D

What's the cult of Asmodeus like currently? As a priest in this underground church what would my activities have been like for the past few years? Would I have had a "congregation?" Perhaps also functioning as an agent, carrying out tasks for the cult's leadership? Maybe even traveling to other cities, meeting up with cult contacts there?
