Cathamber / Arc Zeekhad

You get XP as determined by the GM at the end of a "session". (This is a rather nebulous division. Don't sweat it.) As you gain XP, you can spend it on the following:
Gain 1 HP - 6XP
Gain Weapon Proficiency Group - 8XP
Gain Mastery of Weapon - 8XP
Gain Trait - 10XP

You will typically get 1-3 XP per "session". (Again, "session" is a bit of a nebulous term.) Elsewhere Psybermagi lists what you get XP for.

There is no limit on the number of XP you can gain as a character. There are no "levels", either. The only standard limit is that you can only have a maximum of seven chosen Traits. (I.e. you don't count any traits you gain from your heritage.) Once you have that limit of traits, then any trait you gain requires it to replace an existing one. Other than that, there aren't any limits that I am aware of.

But it does take a while to get all of that. ForeverDED (Blornvid) and I (Skeeve) have been here longer than anyone else, and neither of us have quite yet reached our Trait limits. So, it does take a while to get there.

Thanks again Daryen!
This looks very promising, hopefully our team will have some kind of rest after this library event.

I moved weapon mastery up next to proficiency

Thanks!

Another question - sorry to have so many lately :) - If Arc takes the Druid Trait two times, so as to have two animal companions... How does it count for the purpose of the 7 traits limit? Does it count 2, or 1 (with 2 companions).

That would be two Traits.

For example, Skeeve has taken Archmage twice for different sets of magic abilities. That counts as two separate Trait choices.

I'll roll random magic tonight and let you know.
FYI Potter's clock is legendary. You won't find it in a shop.

Basics of Psionics could be studied in the library

Yeah, I was hoping to merge them with others but it may take some time unless I railroad them. :P
I was considering an NPC but if you want to join then you should do so as a player. I don't normally allow/encourage multiple PC but it will make it easier and more fun to have more in the group. Thanks.

The locals are refugees from the elven city but there were other races, I haven't fully detailed it, so feel free to build you character as you see fit. The earlier options are just ideas/suggestions. Submit the character when you are ready. You can drop your DM character then submit the new one. If you want to DM at a later date we can discuss it then

Sounds good to me. Of course, he and Arc shall never meet in game (unless upon your request).
I'm all in for a druidic-flavored elf PC, although I don't yet understand the animal companion topic... What can those animals actually do?

I was originally thinking something around a healer, for sure! But I wasn't sure whether focusing on magic (as spell-touched), or on d&d-style druid (as shapeshifting), or as tiny-style druid (animal companions) because I don't know those enough. Having said that, and considering that I'm creating this (N)PC mainly to help the manor team, I'm open for suggestions! I'll be happy either way.


So far...
Sylvandur Hathil Amdir
Heritage: Elf (Spiritual)
HP: 6
Initial Traits: Healer, Beast speaker?
Magic small item: A bamboo straw that when blown into produces water (Up to ten gallons a day.)
Basic gear + elven green&brown cloak + healer kit + herbalist kit
Weapon group: ranged (sling)
Family Trade: herbalist
Belief: Nature is the ultimate wisdom

Also. Shall he start as rookie or novice? I'm asking because I don't think I need introductory session by now... If novice, then he should choose Combat Medic instead of Weapon Mastery. And take Druid? when veteran.

You have to take Beast Speaker in order to get the animal companion (Archdruid). So, you do need that. Also, unless he makes an exception, Archdruid has to be taken with XP, not at Veteran. That said, this is functionally an NPC, so rules are there to be broken in that case. :-) Alternatively, it isn't unreasonable to start the character at Veteran + 10XP, too. That way the character is competent, but is still lower than Blornvid and only a mild step ahead of the other character. And having that companion will be a help, as it will be an extra combatant, so the group will effectively have four characters, not just three.

Oh, I see... you are right in that prerequisite should be complied, and in that we'll see which level/XP should he start from..
Also, would the first animal companion should be a fighting one (a wolf or gorilla)? Or an informative one (a sneaky cat for example)?

Then, I'll let Sybermagi hints us on how to finish this (kind-of-N)PC...
