And just out of curiosity... where in the player book it is stated that goblins eyes hurt in daylight? Is it only in GM book?

It's in the Nocturnal - the Goblin's kin talent description. But the GM's book has more details about Goblins. I am not saying it's impossible to mix those 2 groups of kins into a cohesive party, just harder. =)

On the other hand, the Halflings have a surprising depth in this setting. They are not sensitive to sunlight and are closer to the goblins then expected.

So if you prefer "goblin, but walking within light" - they could be a good choice it seem.
Indeed!

Hmmm... strange. In my book kin talent for goblin is SNEAKY? Is there a new version?
Jul 30, 2024 9:58 pm
Yup. Fifth printing =)

It's quite confusing I must say. As I can see "nocturnal" under "TYPICAL GOBLIN" in GM Guide, but there is no such thing in QSR or player guide. So it is updated in Players guide in newer version as kin talent?

I guess so. Can you tell me what printing version are you reading?

Play halfling?

They sing humorous songs in the inns, and drink and smoke, but when darkness falls they vomit in the flowerbeds and go home to beat their children
No no way.

I think I will make it simple. I will play Rawen Claw from quickstart.

@htech would Lightning Fast talent be problem? Should I remove that talent and rise Path Of Killer to Rank II instead?

Works for me. Please submit their character sheet =)

No problems. I am rolling a d10 for initiative, as I don't like GP's cards. With lightning fast, I roll twice and keep the highest.

Your call. Differences should not be big and I can always help. =)

Could you help me with equipment? Should I roll for starting gold? And does this count as rogue starting equipment (or should I spend some of the money to purchase any of these):
Scimitar
Long-bladed dagger
A cloak made from black feathers

Update: looks like if I change Long-bladed dagger to a simple dagger I can have those and add 1d10 silver, right?

Sure! You don't need (in fact, you can't roll) if you're using the pregen's equipment.

So, using Raven Claw's, your equipment is exactly as follows:
quickstart says:
- A scimitar with an ornamented blade (Grip 1H, Bonus 1D6, Damage 2, Range: Arm, Cost 8, Encumbrance: 1, Features: Edged, Pointed, Hook, Parrying)
- A long-bladed dagger (Grip 1H, Bonus 1D6, Damage 1, Range: Arm, Cost 2, Encumbrance: 1, Features: Edged, Pointed)
- A cloak made from black feathers (Cost: 2, Encumbrance: 0)
- 6 Silver and 3 Copper

RESOURCES
- Food D6
- Water D6
- Torches D8
No need or possibility to choose or spend money in anything. You can sell and/or buy things after that, but it will have to be In Character =)

Another alternative is not to use Raven Claw's equipment. In that case, you start with the Rogue's starting equipment (a dagger and choose two items from the trade goods list as specified), roll your starting silver and can buy itens using that silver before the game.

I will stay with pregen equipment. Will finish sheet later today.

But for story - since she is weak at survival I think she either need a tent or meet party other than in the wild. What do you think?

As we just have made a camp: maybe - if she is sleepy/tired - she would risk approaching strangers if she is not good at making camps? Or maybe she was fallowing us all the way from Willowbrook for some reason ? And - departing much later - only now managed to catch up with us? So could be tired and wanting to 'use our camping place'.

I think, things would be much easier to RP - becoming a party - if we would know each other from Willowbrook. But maybe you have other idea for this?

I will create a new thread for Grey and we will discover some of those things In Character =)
