I think I've done the math right this time.

First, you shouldn't have any fractions left over. Round off those .7 and .8 DPs remainders.
Second, your numbers do add up.
Third, for your second BD roll, you got an 8 (for now, just add them up; there's a bit more mathematical jiggery-pokery needs to be done [see ChL 3.8])
Fourth, is that climbing skill noted correctly? If you bought two ranks during your apprenticeship, it should cost you seven points, not two (which is one rank).

My recollection was you didn't round off but carried the remainder to the next level (so my .4 doesn't get wasted it eventually gets used) but I think that might be how Spacemaster handled it.

I think you're right, I had it in my head that there are two ranks (because there are, in total, but not this round) so I added it twice.

Don't recall about SM, but the rules for using the smoothed distribution chart in RMCI state keeping all fractions until the adding is done then rounding off.

OK, now that you've reached 1st level, you can do the same thing to get to second level (then again to reach third level, where we're going to start).

Do you want to do the stat gain rolls or should I roll however many are curently below potentials?

Ack! Thanks for reminding me.

*The above list should have "second level" as a title since, after finishing adolescent training and your apprenticeship, you're already at first level.
*saw your note re. tracking; that's OK
*body development: 3
*stat gains (The x indicates no change)
Co +12
Ag x
Sd +6
Re +1
Me +11
St x
Qu x
Pr +2
In x
Em +14

One more level to go then you'll be ready . . . .

I think I'm going to switch my Bows and Thrown categories and my bow skill to thrown daggers.

Sorry for the delay, things are getting busier than expected on my hand. I will try to get around to do the initial skill advancement by the end of the week.

Bullseyepsa, note that at least some of your development stats went up when your PC reached 2nd level; you should check to see if you got more DPs to spend on your tranche of skills for 3rd level.
Also, I'll do another check for improvement for your journey from 2nd to 3rd level (later, at some point, God willing . . . ).

Kwll, I'll do up your possible stat improvement as well (in the same time frame as I indicated to B.).

??
I'm not sure what that means.
Are you thinking of switching around the order for the weapon-skill costs?
Jun 26, 2025 5:32 pm
Yes, and then which skill I bought (which is, of course, why I would switch the categories.)

i did pick up two DP which are included in the spending above.

Those categories are set; you can't just switch them when you like.
Jun 27, 2025 2:42 am
We haven't played the characters and I'm changing all the skills purchased with the categories, so I don't see the issue. Just getting my character clear in my head and I think it makes more sense. It's not like I want to have bought some of a skill then switch a different category to be cheaper.
