Thanks for the info Garren_Windspear. Now I just have to read through the PHB3 and the Psionics books to figure out my skills.

@DS - Do I have to build it on a mythweaver sheet, or can I do my normal post build? It's easier for me to do my spells in the form of a post so I can read (as well as cut and paste) them during the game.

quick response to s_e: I'd rather you at least start out with one for me to reference, even if you don't use it yourself. You can always also make a post version for you to use. It just helps me while I'm still getting used to your character to see it in that format, especially since it helps show the math behind totals.

More or less final character design, though some gear and background is still being added:

Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar (Asmo) Ischenous Teleiakles

I actually thought about it and there is no reason for you to make a sheet 'cause I can always bookmark the direct link to your post, so disregard my last post.

By my count, we have five people so far. I have updated the first post to reflect current sign-ups.

Very open to any suggestions.
FYI, Twin Strike is notoriously overpowered, to the point where players feel like it's boring because the best option is usually to just use Twin Strike over and over again. I don't think you need to change it or anything, but it's something I have heard.

You have a number of ability scores at 11. Your ability modifiers only go up by +1 when you hit even numbers and ability requirements for feats at heroic tier tend to be 13, so going from 10 to 11 is not very useful, fyi.

Your story is good and I like that it sets up a sentimental value attached to your bow. One thing: Locheia is a tiefling god, so your character would have said a prayer to a foreign god. Is this intentional?

I'll make the sheet after I thinker with the build here:
The FYI I gave above about Twin Strikes also applies to Dishearten.

Glad I could help.

While we are on the subject of characters; it took me a while but I managed to finish this off.

Could you note you chose crossbow for Sharpshooter Talent and write in what your class features do (e.g., Ruthless Ruffian means x)? Do you have a background benefit?

You forgot the Effect line of Bloodbath (it deals 1[W] + Dex damage even if you don't hit).

Please include how you can get a free attack with Two-Fisted Shooter.

I am assuming your purchase math is right. For languages, replace Abyssal with something else. Reference the table I put in another post for the different languages, you can reference the language by race or culture.

Good backstory. Love the name.

I'll keep that in mind - I have no plans to spam the same move over and over again, so, it should not be an issue.
I'll re-adjust the stats - thanks for the info!

As for the backstory - it was intentional, however, it was not supposed to be there yet. I was working on putting that into the backstory, basically, the, trained in the woods by a foreigner for a while who taught her about the other gods. I'll either fill in that gap, or take it out.

For my fellow players - I was really designing in a vacuum - as this was my first go. I'm not married to Soon (I don't think she would like that). If we think that there's a better hole for my character to fill, I'd be willing to change to something else, as I really enjoyed the character creation process.

So - let me know any thoughts, in the meantime, I'll readjust some stats, and see about completing my original backstory. Oh, and update the mythweaver sheet with the changes from the original Soon.

Still working on this. Not really sure what to put for "attack workspace" or "damage workspace"
I *think* I've got most of the rest corrected. Updated the stats, added some equipment. Updated the powers/feats.

Soon

Backstory has not yet been updated...

Edit: after looking at the big 16 again, I removed the "theme" from the build

Question: What is Explorer and Explorer lvl 5 on the character sheet?

Also, pick a language from the chart on the other post I made in place of Damaran.

Eh...those were leftover from the "theme" that I dropped.
Updated language to be Stachti Glossa rather than Damaran.

Thanks!

Fixed up the original sheet to comply with the above. Sorry about the very short hand descriptions of class features but that text box is formatted into two columns for some reason so there was very little room. CA is Combat Advantage. Also I completely forgot Two-Fisted Shooter can net me an extra attack. I only took it so I don't need to swap weapons out. Not that I'm complaining mind.

@Neosilk; so I noticed you still have a good 450+ gold left over which makes me think you didn't actually deduct the cost of your gear from your starting funds. If your using the character creator there should be a button specifically labelled 'buy' that will reduce the cost of said items from your starting funds (or you can always do it manually). Also you may want to take a look under the 'Alchemy Items' section - some good cheap little items there with a wide variety of effects.

I've been looking around - yes, I did "buy" the items, but, I do still have a ton of gold left.
I saw a post about no magic items - what does that include?
For example, could I have some Firestorm Arrows (+1)?
I've added a few more items (torches and such), but still find myself with over 400 GP...

Soon

Edit: Garren, if you're in for TNT tonight, I'll hit you up with some questions there as well!

Magic equipment basically includes anything that has that +X enhancement bonus or things that have a slot. You can buy consumables like potions, alchemical items like alchemical silver, alchemical formulae to make said items, wondrous items like a door of alarm, rituals, ritual scrolls, martial practices, and gear.

Awesome!
I'm down to just over 100GP now...I think I'm about set...I've been updating from the character builder to my myth-weaver sheet.
Hopefully, I'm more or less set.

Thanks for bearing with me! Like I said, I've not played any type of table-top RPG for 20+ years, and have wanted to get back into it, but have not had any chances, until I found this forum, and the whole PbP thing...Hopefully, I'll not slow things down too much!

Just note your racial features on your sheet (e.g., +1 to defenses, Heroic Effort, etc.) and you're set.

Hey BH, been working on my build a few posts up (around number 42 I think), take a look and let me know what you think so far.

OK - I *think* I've got it now...
If only there was a way to import from the character builder to myth-weaver (there isn't, right?)
Again - thanks for the patience while I do this...I might need to buy a few books...most of the stuff I've found online seems to be mostly for 3.5...

Cool, no problem. You can PM me if you're interested in accessing some of the books as pdfs.
