When I tried to add the +2 Racial Bonus to Skills as Misc Mod the math gets weird.

[ +- ] Racial Bonuses

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Yea, for some reason, the way this site works, without a value in one variable the formula is expecting when multiple values are present, it treats the addition as math in sequence and simply tacts on each number to the last number.

To fix it, just put zeros in all remaining values applicable to that formula and, in theory, it should work out. Let me know if it doesn't, I can do some debugging.

That fixed it. Thank you!

Language Question.
With Elfling It says
• Automatic Erenlander, Halfling, Danisil (1).
• Bonus: Colonial, Orcish, Trader’s Tongue

I have -1 intelligence.
With the adjusted language rules, do I automatically know Erenlander, Halfing and Danisil?
Do I spend 1 Language Point to Learn a Bonus skill?

At start:
Erenlander (fluent), Halfing (fluent), Danisil (basic/pidgin)
Synergys: Dornish & Low Sarcosan (Conversational)
(1) Point from Int (Min 1) to spend in any bonus languages.
Moving forward: points must be spent in linguistics to continue gaining languages. Linguistics can be higher than character level for this game. Only linguistics, all other skills remain capped at character level.

Is there any other information that is needed on it?

I think I am 75% done with my sheet. I am still debating Heroic Path. Can you double-check the sheet for me?

Nothing jumps out at me, I'll look it over a bit more in depth later. We can correct things as they come up. I'm not going to lampoon anyone for making a mistake on their character sheet.

To intermingle backstories!

Who wants to be my friend?
Looking for someone who I could have saved when they were traveling or they saved me.
Something as simple as You were traveling by caravan, and I happened to come by when it was getting attacked.
Or
You found me on the side of the road very wounded.

Seelah was defending her caravan against orc raiders, and your PC helped us defeat them. Either by happenstance, or perhaps you were tracking the orcs at the time?

I think I am going to go with Ironborn for Heroic Path.

I have +2 AC Bonus from Defender and +1 Natural Armor Bonus from Ironborn.
I have a +4 Dexterity.
My is AC 17.

I have 30vp to spend and the only weapon I was thinking of buy was a Sling. I don't plan on buying armor or Shields
Are we able to purchase Kits like the Hunter's or Brawler’s?
Do I need to buy clothing if I only want something like Peasant's?
What do I need to do to get simple stuff for a Wogren?

(sorry for all of the questions)

In order:
Yes, bear in mind items not native to Midnight may be nixed.
No, free outfit.
Question on this one, how are you getting a Wogren? They're 200vp at 1/4th cost. With Warg, you get an animal companion, I would've said fine to choosing a Wogren, without that or something else giving you an animal companion, I don't see how you can get one.

If the Wogren is going to cost that much Never mind. I thought it was a lot cheaper haha.
I will take a look at Items and make a list of what I plan on grabbing so you can approve them.

Smiley, I think it fits well if your PC and Seelah met first. I will be happiest and in character most relaxed and friendly if we have all know and traveled with each other at least a few months.

So does that work well for you, yes?

(Too many similar conversations happening in different threads.)

Yes, I am fine with my PC and Seelah meeting and traveling before this.

Instead of doing a Beastly Fighter dude like Greemology is doing, I'm going to change it into more of a pugilist sort of theme.
Does that work in this setting? Not really a monk, more of a bodyguard.

Yea, that's like part the core defender lore, along with being a rebel.

@Mica_pun_worthy & @WanderOne
If it works for you, rather than being part of a caravan, perhaps my role could be more of a guardian—someone assigned, or otherwise compelled, to protect one or both of you on your journey.
Could be Death Debt or something also.

I don't know what Azote & Petra's relationship is with each other.

@Smiley: What is death debt...does it mean penance for a kill you made? I rather not if so.

Far as I know, Azote and Seelah and Ulfr and Petra all met on the road somehow and decided to travel together, became friends over a few months and fought to protect each other or patch each other up.

We never worked out precise details.... I was happy to let such details come out in roleplay later, 'Remember when...?'

My sticking point was always 'I want to play as though we have had each others' backs before' as opposed to 'I wonder if this person is a double agent or just using me till it is no longer convenient?'

Life debt or death debt same thing (I think)
You save his life or spared his life now he protects your's.

Looking it up they are similar but not the same.
It could be penance for me killing someone important to you be we don't need to go that route.

Life Debt Gratitude for having your life saved
Honor-bound Loyalty, servitude, friendship

Death Debt Owed because of causing/escaping death or making a deal
Dark, burdensome Karma, sacrifice, supernatural pacts

It could be either
I was almost dead and you healed. Now I protect you.
Vs
Others died but you saved me instead. Now I protect you.

Jasir looks to be coming mostly online. Sorry for the radio silence! I'll be looking into art and the like to supplement things further but happy to start talking tie ins at this stage. Jasir isn't the most personable, buuuuuut he's probably a good person to know for a variety of reasons.
