Just one correction -- Taines's Hit Dice should be 1d6+7.

Great work on keeping the character sheets up to date guys [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

FYI, I am calculating the XP awards like this:

CEILING(XP Award + XP Bonus)

Which essentially means you round any fraction up to the nearest whole number.

So, if my sums are right we should have the following;

Caine 62
Mads 60
Anwyn 124
Victor 60
Rodrick 125
Dieter 128
Olaf 125
Ulric 128
Taines 60

Welcome to "The Cast" Coffee [img]images/smiley/grin.png[/img] nice work!

Just a couple of minor things...
  • You could list 1d6+4 or 1d6+1+3 for hit-dice so we don't forget Dieter's constitution bonus of +3 hit points.
  • Dieter's AC is 4 (equal best in the party!) since leather = AC7, +helm = AC6, +shield = AC5, +dex = AC4.

Okay, I modified the AC.

I don't understand what you mean about the constitution bonus, though (I'm pretty sure it's something I missed rather than something you didn't explain -- I just didn't seem to catch a lot of the little things.)

Hi Coffee -- as a way to give 1st level PCs a slight "edge", I decided that every PC would get a once-off bonus modifier to hit-points equal to the "chance-in-6" he has for his constitution ability. This is instead of adding +1 hit point per hit die for 15+ constitution (as per Men & Magic).

In Dieter's case, he has 12 constitution, and a 3-in-6 chance when constitution counts. Therefore, he has 1d6+1 hit-points (as a 1st level fighting-man) and another +3 hit-points (due to his 12 constitution). So overall, Dieter has 1d6+4 hit-points.

By my reckoning, this little adjustment has saved a few PC lives already!

Ahhhh! That's too bad! We'll miss you, and Victor, Billhooks.

I, for one, am having fun. I understand what you say about the pace of online games, though. They certainly do demand a good bit of patience at times, but IMO it's worth it. Especially, if it's the only roleplaying you can consistently get.

Let me express my thanks to our DM and all my fellow players. All I can say is I hope each of you are having as much fun as I am. [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]
