Character Creation Questions

[ICNB]

Is the due date for recruitment end of day today or tomorrow?

[Llyarden]

I have no idea when the ad will close, that's automatic on Baldr's end. (And I have to keep reminding myself to not write 'Baldur'...) If the ad closes and the change in permissions stops people posting I will reopen the forum as soon as I get the opportunity. In practice, I will most likely start reviewing apps on what is for me Monday mid-morning - that is, in about 36 hours from the time of this post - so any changes that you make after that may or may not be accounted for when I'm making my decisions.

[VennDygrem]

That's good to know. I'm really hoping to get most of the pertinent information added to my application thread, but a lot of my day today has been unexpectedly commandeered so I'm hoping to get the time I need to finish up in time...

[Laird Ichofox]

Makes note to post "DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY" from Majora's Mask in the OOC in 10-ish hours

[Tschudy]

Really hoping on this one. Couldn't quite get the spoons together to finish my character for the last game.

[Steel Warrior]

Yeah, I am still working on typing out class abilities that fit into a statblock. I should be sleeping, because I work in 1hr and 15 minutes lol.

 

[ICNB]

Ended up running out of time, unfortunately. Good luck everybody!

[MysteryNo1]

The barebones of my characters are done like the fluff. Crunch is done except spell selection and feats which are a mess at the moment. In short, the complete product of my character is generalist sphere sorceress with smattering of talents from most of the spheres. Not sure if I can get it done in time which is unlikely.

I generally just go with a pretty basic statblock and add a line for 'Resistances', one for 'Other Defenses' (or abilities like Darkvision or Tremorsense that would alter the way the character would perceive the scene the DM is setting so they can describe it accurately without you needing to ask after the fact), etc and a spoiler at the end for anything that doesn't 'fit' in a statblock if needed, like a list of ongoing effects from worn items, list of most commonly or always used Spells/Powers, or currently Shaped Veils. Packing an entire character sheet's worth of class abilities into a statblock defeats the purpose of a statblock.

Statblocks, for me, are for the player and DM to be able to quickly glance at in order to pull relevant numbers from (Various ACs, resistances, saves, attack modifiers, initiative, damage resistance, etc, etc.), and things like weapons wielded for purposes of granting AoOs, etc. anything else can just be checked on the sheet itself with a handy included link to it in the statblock. Essentially, unless it would be potentially immediately relevant to the DM in the middle of posting their round of combat...it isn't really important enough to include unless they specifically ask me to include it in the future.

At 1st level, a hidden blade selects two gambits from the gambits available to warlords, or the hidden blade gambits listed below. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, a hidden blade selects an additional gambit to learn. Any gambit that would normally use the hidden blade’s Charisma modifier to determine its effects instead uses her hidden blade initiation modifier. These gambits allow the hidden blade to recover maneuvers. Due to their reliance on the stresses of combat to bring out the best of the hidden blade, gambits cannot be used outside combat. A gambit has two aspects: a risk and a reward. A gambit’s risk describes an action the hidden blade must take in order to play the gambit. The hidden blade begin a gambit as a swift action, then performs the gambit’s risk action. She may add her hidden blade initiation modifier as a luck bonus on any d20 rolls made while performing this action (such as the Acrobatics check of an acrobatic gambit, or the attack roll of a brave gambit). The hidden blade only gets this bonus if she used a swift action to begin the gambit; if taking the actions normally, she gains no additional benefits. If the hidden blade initiates a maneuver as part of a gambit, she cannot recover that maneuver when the gambit is completed (even if it’s her only expended maneuver). If the hidden blade succeeds at her gambit’s risk, she recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to her hidden blade initiation modifier (minimum 2) and gains the reward listed in the gambit’s description. Allies who would gain a benefit from the gambit’s reward must be within 60 feet of the hidden blade and able to see her perform the gambit’s risk If the hidden blade fails her gambit (such as missing the charge attack of a brave gambit, or failing the saving throw of an unbreakable gambit), she suffers the gambit’s rake, recovering only a single expended maneuver and taking a –2 penalty on all d20 rolls for one round.[/spoiler] [B]Initiation Modifier:[/B] 4 [ooc="Coward's Gabmit"][B]Risk:[/B] The hidden blade attacks a flat-footed opponent or an opponent she is flanking.

Gambits (Ex)

 

Gambits (Ex)

A hidden blade is a cunning warrior who seizes opportunities as they present themselves to put his enemies in untenable positions. At 1st level, a hidden blade selects two gambits from the gambits available to warlords, or the hidden blade gambits listed below. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, a hidden blade selects an additional gambit to learn. Any gambit that would normally use the hidden blade’s Charisma modifier to determine its effects instead uses her hidden blade initiation modifier. These gambits allow the hidden blade to recover maneuvers. Due to their reliance on the stresses of combat to bring out the best of the hidden blade, gambits cannot be used outside combat.

A gambit has two aspects: a risk and a reward. A gambit’s risk describes an action the hidden blade must take in order to play the gambit. The hidden blade begin a gambit as a swift action, then performs the gambit’s risk action. She may add her hidden blade initiation modifier as a luck bonus on any d20 rolls made while performing this action (such as the Acrobatics check of an acrobatic gambit, or the attack roll of a brave gambit). The hidden blade only gets this bonus if she used a swift action to begin the gambit; if taking the actions normally, she gains no additional benefits. If the hidden blade initiates a maneuver as part of a gambit, she cannot recover that maneuver when the gambit is completed (even if it’s her only expended maneuver).

If the hidden blade succeeds at her gambit’s risk, she recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to her hidden blade initiation modifier (minimum 2) and gains the reward listed in the gambit’s description. Allies who would gain a benefit from the gambit’s reward must be within 60 feet of the hidden blade and able to see her perform the gambit’s risk

If the hidden blade fails her gambit (such as missing the charge attack of a brave gambit, or failing the saving throw of an unbreakable gambit), she suffers the gambit’s rake, recovering only a single expended maneuver and taking a –2 penalty on all d20 rolls for one round.

Initiation Modifier: 4
Coward's Gabmit Risk: The hidden blade attacks a flat-footed opponent or an opponent she is flanking.
Reward: The hidden blade’s allies gain a bonus on damage rolls against that opponent equal to the hidden blade’s initiation modifier for one round.
Flanker's Gambit Risk: The hidden blade attacks an opponent adjacent to one of the hidden blade’s other allies.
Reward: The hidden blade is considered to be flanking that opponent until the end of her next turn, even if the hidden blade is not in a position that would allow her to flank them.
Stealth Gambit (Su) Risk: The hidden blade makes a Stealth check to hide.
Reward: The hidden blade becomes invisible for a number of rounds equal to her initiation modifier, as if under the effect of an invisibility spell.
Acrobatic Gambit Risk: The hidden blade makes an Acrobatics check to move through a creature’s threatened area without provoking attacks of opportunity.

At 1st level, a hidden blade selects two gambits from the gambits available to warlords, or the hidden blade gambits listed below. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, a hidden blade selects an additional gambit to learn. Any gambit that would normally use the hidden blade’s Charisma modifier to determine its effects instead uses her hidden blade initiation modifier. These gambits allow the hidden blade to recover maneuvers. Due to their reliance on the stresses of combat to bring out the best of the hidden blade, gambits cannot be used outside combat. A gambit has two aspects: a risk and a reward. A gambit’s risk describes an action the hidden blade must take in order to play the gambit. The hidden blade begin a gambit as a swift action, then performs the gambit’s risk action. She may add her hidden blade initiation modifier as a luck bonus on any d20 rolls made while performing this action (such as the Acrobatics check of an acrobatic gambit, or the attack roll of a brave gambit). The hidden blade only gets this bonus if she used a swift action to begin the gambit; if taking the actions normally, she gains no additional benefits. If the hidden blade initiates a maneuver as part of a gambit, she cannot recover that maneuver when the gambit is completed (even if it’s her only expended maneuver). If the hidden blade succeeds at her gambit’s risk, she recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to her hidden blade initiation modifier (minimum 2) and gains the reward listed in the gambit’s description. Allies who would gain a benefit from the gambit’s reward must be within 60 feet of the hidden blade and able to see her perform the gambit’s risk If the hidden blade fails her gambit (such as missing the charge attack of a brave gambit, or failing the saving throw of an unbreakable gambit), she suffers the gambit’s rake, recovering only a single expended maneuver and taking a –2 penalty on all d20 rolls for one round.[/spoiler] [B]Initiation Modifier:[/B] 4 [ooc="Coward's Gabmit"][B]Risk:[/B] The hidden blade attacks a flat-footed opponent or an opponent she is flanking.

If one of my players' used that as a statblock, I would skip even trying to reference it and just look at their sheet instead, as it would be easier to find the things I actually need to reference regularly when posting.

Knowing that the character has extra traits, can craft items, and what their skill point allocation looks like when they are the one rolling those checks would never be something I, as a DM, would need to reference 'at a glance'. The sheer amount of info there prevents anything from being referenced 'at a glance' even if it did contain what I'd need to look up quickly.

If I really needed to know skill points, languages, or feats, that would be easier to locate and reference on the character sheet itself. At least, it would for me when I am DMing. I prefer 'only what is always relevant' info. All the hyper-situational stuff can just be checked via the sheet itself as-needed.

The actual character sheet isn't that good at going into details about class abilities and such. It's fine if it's not for you, but it is better than having to open a new window to look up something, when you can just click on the spoiler and see it.

I also don't have to open a new tab or page when I need to do dice rolls, because it's in the statblock if I again, need to reference something.

Being able to just click a spoiler to see something rather than opening a new tab is useful, assuming you're just as familiar with the personal formatting of the info for every character as one would be with the MW sheet formats, where everyone's numerical information is uniform by design for ease of reference.

Comes down to DM preference, really. Player's only have to adjust to 1 format (either their own or a DM-provided one), while the DM has to either adjust to the format of each player, or provide a preferred format.

Yeah, then there's the posts that take up more than an entire page, because it's all spaced out overly so, instead of in a tiny compact place lol.
It might be good if you are using a mobile phone etc, but yeah. The link is there to the sheet also, go like, by all means, if you rather click the sheet, etc, go for it lol

[BBK]

I hate that spoilers are forced to be their own line item on Balder. Being able to have a row of them on the OG MW posts was very useful for condensing things like that. [Feats][Skills][Magic Items], etc. Made statblocks a lot easier to craft, copy, and paste from post to post. You can use OOC textlike this to do much the same in their place, but copying OOC text can get rough from post to post. You can copy/paste within the same post easy enough, but it doesn't ever keep the hidden text for me when trying to copy/paste from an older post to save time while keeping the Balder formatting.
