Questions.
Concentration - Do I use Charisma? Or count as 0 Con? I've used Charisma in my sheet so far due to - meaning nonability, rather than 0.
Flaw - Metal Intolerance from Dragon Magazine seems appropriate... Scissors beat paper... is this acceptable?
Going to assume I'm Diminutive? due to being book sized...

Feedback, criticism etc
Let me know if anything isn't permitted / any mistakes I've made.

Meanwhile, the axes will be annoyed at you for being so inattentive, whilst you'll probably dislike them for being illiterate. :lmao

Maybe I can will the dwarf to block dangerous things with his head in a subtle way.... that's dwarf like behavior.
Although with your intimidate maybe I'll just pretend you're not doing necromancy so it doesn't bother me... living in denial.

If someone points things out to me I'll help...otherwise I'll just be over here reading myself.


I'm thinking about swapping out greater spell pen for Knowledge Devotion, I mean I can autopass that DC 36 for a +5, so giving life and death a +5 (insight bonus) to hit and damage would be awesome...but would the dwarf...and thus the weapons gain this? I guess I can imagine it as a Knowledge Arcana check of 36+ resulting in me telling the dwarf telepathically about the foe.

Thoughts on this?

Suppose I should spend 50gp on like... a satchel and chain to stay attached to the Barbarian.

Hmm, I count 4 sheets, guess it's time I request a board.

Questions.
Concentration - Do I use Charisma? Or count as 0 Con? I've used Charisma in my sheet so far due to - meaning nonability, rather than 0.
Ok.

Flaw - Metal Intolerance from Dragon Magazine seems appropriate... Scissors beat paper... is this acceptable?
I'll have to say no to non-srd flaws. It's flavourful yes, but drag magazine flaws are just too cheesy.

Going to assume I'm Diminutive? due to being book sized...
Eerrr, diminutive is like a real-world centipede. Also magic books must be oversized by tradition. You'll count as small, point. :p

Diminutive is 6 inches to 1 foot. Tiny is 1-2.

A book over 2 feet long is pretty damn huge. :O

Hmm, I'll allow tiny then. Diminutive would mean something you can fit inside your pocket.

Like me?

I've put all my character onto mythweavers. Do I need to translate everything over to the same format everyone else is using?

There's a couple of empty Spots for Spells, but I haven't seen a single Spell I'd want to fill those slots with so they're going to remain empty for the entire game. Couldn't decide on extra Feats, so no Flaws.

Character is a Ring of the Darkhidden in terms of appearance. A metal and wingless Weeping Angel when in it's other form.

If I had knowledge devotion, would the dwarf get the benefits of my check?

Example, we see a dragon, I knowledge arcana for a +5 to hit and damage, just me, or does the dwarf (and by extension the axes) get it too?

I've been thinking and it's going to be a little strange. In the dark, the Dwarf and I will be invisible to Darkvision, everyone else would be floating on their own according to Darkvision.

So we have a suit of armour, a pair of axes, a book, a shield and a hat. All floating along.


Would it be inappropriate of me to ask that the other players allow the Dwarf to disarm whenever we need any scouting? :lol

Clearly it's some kind of ghost and not some kind of psychopathic Dwarf!

The dwarf would not allow me to be removed  ;)

I now want to become a Ring of Invisibility, just so this isn't just limited to the dark. :plotting

We have a forum, get porting your sheets and questions there if you don't mind.

If I had knowledge devotion, would the dwarf get the benefits of my check?

Example, we see a dragon, I knowledge arcana for a +5 to hit and damage, just me, or does the dwarf (and by extension the axes) get it too?

That falls on the "you must be an item of that kind to grant it". So if you were an item that boosts Knowledge Arcana somehow, yes.
