The sheet is officially finished, and shopping is complete.  Man, keeping under weight when you have strength 6 is a trial.

(EDIT: Oh yeah, do you keep track of mundane ammo?  Typically I gloss over it, but if you don't it's fine.  I'll just pick up rocks every so often for the sling.)

typically i do not worry about ammunition unless you start telling me your character is carrying an obscene amount of it.

Heh, not I (but good to know).  My first item I must save up for: Handy Haversack.  So I can carry those 1 thousand oil vials.  There isn't a problem that can't be solved by soaking in in oil and setting it on fire.  Take this orphanage for example.

*FWOOM*

And now none of the orphans will miss than parents.  I'm the best!  :D

Oh yes, you may want to know my party role.  I'm the face (yeah I know, only Cha 10).  In combat I become a debuffer, entangling and dealing damage over time.  I'm pretty durable for a cat, and when I get money I'll slap on some armor eventually.  Right now I don't worry about ASF since my only invocation is a buff I cast at the start of the day anyways.

I don't melee.  I sometimes range, but mostly I just set things on fire.

I think I might just win out on being the face, given that my class is CHA-focused and I get to make friends by punching people. :lmao

32 point buy, no score over 18 after race mods.

After? Huh.

That's fine, I fit as the talking cat mascot after all!  Now we must combine our rainbow sparkle powers to made a wave motion gun made of pure love!

Ask me a few levels down the line and we'll see about making things BOOM. :lmao

Still confused at the 'only 18 after mods' thing. That kinda defeats the point of mods: this race has a higher base average, so the exceptional guys really are. O_o

It's more say that the elf ranger couldn't spend the points for an 18 dex then with his +2 racial modifier have a 20 dex at lvl 1.

But... that's kind of the whole point. No-LA, no-RHD races are only going to get you about a max of +4, which is a modifier of... +6 as opposed to +4. It's hardly gamebreaking. :huh

True it may not be gamebreaking, but I like to see players expand their characters past just focusing on one aspect of focus. Instead of the thought. Well my fighter sucks at skills so i may as well not worry about them really and just focus all on combat.I may not be explaining this in the way i want. Sometimes it's hard to present things as you meanfor them to sound.

I think I'm going to refrain from taking part, in that case. Being forced to hamper my primary focus because the DM desires pointless generalising for the sake of generalising.

Sorry for wasting your time.

I've dmed enough games to not see it as pointless, but you are all free to make your own choices. Take it easy, amd have a good day.
