Please rework your characters, so that they have their ability scores purchased through a 25 point-buy system. I would link you to a calculator but I am not allowed to. If you are unsure as to how to do it, feel free to ask ahead!

Once your characters are done, we will shortly begin the adventure.

Background: Tucker's family learned of his magic at the age of 3. On his fourth birthday he was sold to a magician to be a "Apprentice" And learn the ways of magic and hard work. As Tucker grew up he just could not seem to be able to cast necromancy spells or abjuration, and his master seemed to use this lack of skill as a good chance to beat him. At the age of 18 tucker became a journeyman, but before he could go back home his master branded him with a arcane mark across his eye and one on each arm.
After almost his whole life of work he could finally go home. As he gets home his master flies by on a disk and fireballs Tucker's house and family. Thugs run out of the trees and take all of the stuff that is in the house, kills his father who had some how survived the blast and ran off. With tears in his eyes Tucker grabs what ever he can find and goes off into the woods. After two years him and his newly summoned friend Niff (Weasel) are here, he has some money in his pocket and a firm dislike for wizards.

Very nice! Your character is ready! Now we have to wait for the second player to be done and we will be starting.

Felipe, are you facing difficulties reworking your stats? I could do that for you, or assist you if you need help.

Sorry for the delay, I was at school and I could not post until now. I have question before reworking my character sheet, what do you mean by a "25 point-buy system"?

Johnathan's Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Character Creation

There are multiple ways of determining a character's ability scores. For balance of power between players, I have decided to use a point buy system, instead of the standard random generation.

In point-buy, you are given a certain amount of points from your Dungeon Master, which you can then spend in order to "Purchase" Your character's ability scores.

You have 25 points to spend.

Here are the costs of certain ability scores:

Ability Score - Cost

6 is worth minus 2 points (Which means you get to use 2 more for other scores),
7 - is worth minus 1 point,
8 - 0 points,
9 - 1 point,
10 - 2 points,
11 - 3 points,
12 - 4 points,
13 - 5 points,
14 - 6 points,
15 - 8 points,
16 - 10 points,
17 - 13 points,
18 - 16 points.

I can do it for you if you are not confident enough. Remember that this will affect your attacks, saves, skills, AC etc.!

Since I am not very familiar with setting the ability scores manually and this is my second time of playing Dungeons & Dragons I would like if you can do it for me, thanks.

Hello again Felipe. I was doing some minor corrections as I was reworking your character sheet, and came across two problems. I want your opinion as to how you want your character to be.

Your skills were a bit off, I changed them with class skills, came up with this:

Climb 1+3= +4
Handle Animal 1+1= +2
Intimidate 3+1= +4
Jump 1+3= +4
Ride 1+2= +3
Swim 1+3= +4

Are you satisfied by this change?

Also, please confirm your feat selection:

Dodge (+1 AC)
Mobility (+4 AC when moving)
Stealthy (+2 to hide, move silently)

I would recommend something matching your character's background. Have you considered feats such as:

Toughness (+3 HP)
Shield Focus (+1 AC)
Weapon Focus (+1 Attack with a certain weapon)
Two-Weapon Fighting (Able to fight skillfully with both the shield and the sword)

I have also replaced the religion entry from none to Heathen. That meaning that your character doesn't openly follow a specific deity. I did this because in "The Artifacts of Power", godless people are hunted down and slain!

Please, remember. This is only the technical part. The main point of playing a Role-playing Game game is the roleplaying, so don't be intimidated by all this information! I will be here for all questions!
