Maybe Quill could split those inactive charsheets out into their own thread?

Actually, the list I posted is out of date. Osle and Sam both left and we gained Phaedrus, so that's 7 players now. However, only 5 of the sheets in the Char sheet thread are from current, active players. We're missing one from Littha and one from Schiz, though he posted his back on the recruiting thread.

Crap... thought I had posted mine...

Good idea.

So, how close are we to getting this thing off the ground?
Aside from how many character sheets there are, some are unfinished.

I need to stat out a few NPCs, name the positive and negative planes, and figure out how the campaign starts. The rest, I can improvise.

OK, I have no idea if you'll like these at all, but hopefully they'll give you some kind of springboard to make it easier.

The positive planes:
  • Prolifar (the plane of growth)
  • Simulcron (the plane of knowledge)
  • Syllogria (the plane of reflection)
  • Altipros (the plane of attraction)
  • The Ways

The negative planes:
  • Nyepoga (the plane of erosion)
  • Asculos (the plane of shards)
  • Vodremk (the plane of uncertainty)
  • Yrst (the plane of fury)
  • The Maze

So, I'm looking through the list of Flaws to see which fit my character and I came across these:

Binge Drinker (I may actually take this one...)
Clinically Depressed Robot
Compulsive Maniacal Laughter
Curious (Another one I may actually take)
Defenestrative Urges
Extreme Boredom

...I could link to so many more.  Just check out the list, if you haven't already.  It's HILARIOUS!

I've taken some of the more interesting ones from there including having a Command Word, Magical Hydrophobia, and the one where you have a 5% chance at the beginning of every encounter of being stunned by Deja Vu due to having flashbacks from past lives. :P

I think Loptr is done, by the way, except for choosing maneuvers for the day.

Edit: I assumed that I could enchant and use a dastana as a weapon (gauntlet), since they are basically big gauntlets that also boost your armor class a bit. Let me know if that is not OK, and I'll swap back to a normal gauntlet. My armor class still stinks... Just can't afford to boost everything, so I'm basically neglecting it, and relying on other defenses.

In MagiPunk, the skills are somewhat different than in 3-1/2:
Many are combined. Here is the MagiPunk Skills thread.
There's no divine magic in MagiPunk, so no Knowledge: Religion.  Should that go under Scholarship in this campaign?

Quill, are any of these differences going to be a problem?
Percival, do you want to comment on this?

Oh, I don't think I knew we were using a modified skills set. So is there really no Use Magic Device skill? Is this world going to be that "high magic"? :huh

I wouldn't use the modified skills for this game.  Use these as Holomancer class skills:

Spellcraft, Concentration, Craft, Diplomacy, Perform, Bluff, Intimidate, Profession, Knowledge (all, taken individually).

Sounds good to me.  How does that change the pre-reqs for Lens Mage? That also means that if I have a Wild Cohort, I have to take Handle Animal and Ride separately, right?

Also, while I have you here, for the Sculpts / Essences, the number known is total, not each, correct?

Yes, they're separate skills elsewhere.

Spellcraft 12 ranks, Craft (Sculpture) 6 ranks.

Total.

Nor I. The class skill lists seem simple enough to adapt.

Spellcraft 12 ranks, Craft (Sculpture) 6 ranks.
Why would a lensmage need Craft (Sculpture)?

Almost done.  Mostly just need background and to buy equipment.

EDIT:  Quill, is there anything in the sheet so far that you object to?

Duh.... ......

Just kidding. 
Mechanics justification: none. 
Flavor justification: 2, "Light Sculpting", and knowledge of materials for explosive strike. 

Bad design by having a skill tax? Priceless.

I object to your suspicious lack of Feater levels.

EDIT: also, Ride is Dex, not Cha.
