Character Advice

Nor should it be necessary to do so for the average person. It’s just too many resources to one aspect of the game.
Problem being I’d like my defs to matter.

Just curious, Scott. What do you consider a “decent” AR as you move up through the Tiers? As for Avoidance I believe encounters increase at at +3/Tier, so you’d need to match that to keep Pace. I may be misremembering.

With a sweep of his…

HatFor a “decent” AR, I’m thinking 3+Tier. I feel that a “good” AR would be 4+tier and an “excellent” AR would be 5 or more + tier.

Regarding Avoidance, as John mentioned, he posted an analysis on the old boards. And based on the information that we have at hand, it seemed pretty solid to me. Although I personally expect that players will squeak out an additional point of defense or so per tier via magic or new rules that we can’t yet account for. With that in mind, I think that 3 points of defense per tier is doable without giving up too much in the way of opportunity costs. I also expect enemy attack bonuses to increase about 3 to 4 points per tier for typical encounters. Which means that unless you begin play ahead of the curve, you will begin to fall behind unless you make sacrifices to increase your defenses. Thus making (in my mind) AR that much more important.

wHAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO POST MY FORM FILLED pdf OF MY CHARACTER SHEET TO THIS THREAD?

Cheeky response: Not in all caps for sure
Actual response: I’d recommend not posting the PDF, but if you can post the relevant details in a text readable format that would be best. If you include your calculations that will help people see where your math might be off.

Something along the lines of the Character Creation Worksheet Format would work best.

take a look in the contest thread, me personally i tend to share things from my Google drive “to anyone that has the link” as Read only or comment only sharing.

we all make those caps locks mistakes, don’t mind mind John, he just razzing yah, besides, I’m gonna get PCI to nerf Darkin just to spite him (LOL)

Alright. I gave up on trying to do a text format character creation sheet on here. I had a couple people help me create my character as A) It is my first character and B) I am visually impaired. I cant really translate the creation sheet I have to how the one posted by John is. Too many things just don’t line up due to being a different version of the sheet. Plus I have _1’s written in after stats that I’m not sure where they came from. I tried to upload my form filled character sheet onto google drive. Don’t know for sure if I did it right, so please let me know.

A few things right off the bat:
1) You’re missing a few spells. You get all the Universal (Which you might not have wanted to list), you get Rebuke (The special Divine one) and you get 1 more Benedictions spell (As your Primary you get 3).
2) I’d find some way to reduce your bulk. That 15 Avoidance might hurt more than you think if you plan on being in the front lines. Your bulk also puts a penalty on all non-attack Might, Prowess and Quickness Skills.
2b) There’s little reason to take a 6 Logic at character generation unless you need it as a pre-requisite for something you’re taking at character generation. The stats you want to try for are: 4, 5, and 7’s. Options: Lower Logic to 5 raise Insight or Prowess. Take an heirloom suit of armor.
3) Stealth? Just curious with your speed and armor you aren’t going to be moving fast or very quietly.
4) Looks like you’re missing some talents. You get Prestidigitation as a free Talent for Divine. Human gives you 2 Talents, you get Weapon Mastery from Initiate, and then 3 from “Choose any talents” since you’ve chosen a flaw.

That’s it for a quick look
