Character Creation/OOC

Rules question. Unlike the SRD, Pugmire doesn't have rules for grappling. Basically Wastl doesn't want to kill the bandit but grab and hold him so we can question him.

We can use 5e ruling, an opposed strength check vs. the target's strength/dexterity check. I don't see too much problem with it seeing the similarities shared between the two systems.

That was my thinking.

For level 2 Stamina we roll our stamina die, right? There's no option to "take the average" like in D&D 5e?

I was under the impression you automatically get max: At each level, the player adds a number of stamina points to her maximum total, based on her character’s calling, and gains another stamina die. I don't see anything about rolling or averages.

Yeah, you automatically get maximum. Pugmire Early Access (pg. 46): Your dog’s stamina points are determined by his calling, which gives a set number that is added to his Constitution for a final number of stamina points. Every time your dog gains a level, that amount is added again to his stamina point total, giving him more and more stamina points.

Also pg. 31 has a small bit enforcing that ruling as well.

I obviously need to attend:

I gained 12hp and Cleave.

Wow. I'm not used to such an active game. Usually, I can go days without a single post. I'll try to check back more often.
Looks like I get 12 hp but I don't see level info in the early access pdf. What does a guardian get?

Guardian gets Cleave, Fighting Style, Inspiring Word, and Leadership

PEA pg. 72-73: For what options you get on level up.
PEA pg. 51-53: For guardian calling tricks and refinements.
PEA: pg. 59: For the start of breed tricks.

Advancement rules from the published version:
At each level, the player does the following:
• Adds a number of stamina points to her dog’s maximum total, based on her character’s calling
• Gains another stamina die
• Spellcaster characters gain two additional spell slots (plus another one if their Constitution modifier increases)
• Spellcaster characters choose two more spells (p. 101)

Every two levels, the character’s proficiency bonus also increases by one.

The character also gets one improvement each level. This can be any of the following:
• Increase an ability score by 1 up to a maximum of 20. Also, take a new skill.
• Take a new calling, breed, or aptitude trick.
• Refine an existing calling or masterwork trick.
(I can't remember if refinement was in the Early Access rules, if not, hit me up)

Refinement is in the Early Access rules.

Woof, woof! :-)

I have FINALLY started doing the job that I got promoted to before. Previous to this, it's all been slow-paced training and being a mentor to new people. I am FAR busier now than before, so my posting will decrease a massive amount :(

I will do my best to keep up with the games that I am in, but please be understanding if I am a bit slow!

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. My boss quit 3 weeks ago so I did 2 people's jobs for 2 weeks and now have had help (but no new boss and I don't want the promotion) for the last week. My normal 50 hr weeks have become 60 hr weeks. Most days I come home exhausted and have forgotten to even check some games. Still, I'm here.

Going to drop out of this to free up some space :)

IZ SAD.

Any chance this is still happening?

Sadly, probably not. While I did enjoy the setting immensely, I'm a bit too bogged down to learn, or re-pickup rather, a new system. Perhaps in the future the doggos will return but as of now, they sleep.

Ok. Thanks, Hyp! :-)
