Ok, this should do it, I think.

Grizz

Makes me remember why I always hate starting at 1st level. :D
reminder your shield and weapons weigh 1/2 as well. I was checking that for mine too.

Yeah, I already had them marked as 1/2 weight, so I'm set. :)

Yeah, I forgot to fill in the weight on the shield under the Shield/Protective Item area, but I did have the weight listed under the Equipment section.

It's no biggie. :)

By the way, I think my guy ended up coming out nearly as good at melee as Flay's character thanks to the size mod, though not dealing as much damage. Plus mine doesn't have the awesome flavor of an Earth Dwarf Geomancer. :D

I'd totally play that in a normal PbP.

I suppose there could be some need for random things like rope or something if you guys are really creative.  I don't see it coming up (i.e. I'm not planning encounters where you have to tie fools up), but you guys can buy weird crap if you think you might use it.
Name one thing you're gonna need the stupid fucking rope for!  :p

And yeah you did Venn, 'swhat we do best, fecking geomancers!  :banghead <-- Not out of frustration, it's just what we do. Btw, your build is gonna pwn mine for a ways... if only for AC, and you're

I'ma be getting some caltrops... cause limiting foes movement is a good thing... Alrighty, no traits I particularly want, gotta chose my feats, and decide if a second flaw is worth it (for sake of testing, I think so...). Venn (or anyone, really, but because he's in a similar thing), do you think the burrowing/mole thing is worth three feats to get spring attack? I'm thinking no...

If that's your schtick. Technically, none of those feats is really bad if you're gonna be in melee, plus you can tack on a fourth feat to get your bonus vs. giants to be vs. your dodge target instead (so, a feat that boosts Dodge from +1 to +4. Not too bad, methinks. Only requires Dodge and the dodge bonus vs. giants, so easy to qualify for as a dwarf.)

Titan Fighting, races of stone pg. 145. :)

I actually got the description wrong though. It only works on targets one or more sizes larger than you. Still, much better utility than just versus giants. But you may not find it as useful now.

Do you guys know how long it typically takes to get a game started after you post in the request thread?

i don't think very long on average but it depends on how long it takes for AC to notice the request and have the time to actually get to it.

Yeah, it usually doesn't take this long, but AC could be somewhat busy or something. Might wanna PM him.

I PMed him last week with the initial request.  I then noticed the proper threads for this, so I added the requests in there, and PMed him again apologizing for not putting them in the right spot in the first place.

So, hopefully he'll get around to it soon.  Oh well.  It's not like I don't have a ton of work to do on my basement anyway. :p

I finally got around to reading everyone's character sheet in detail.  So far, I only noticed one thing: Sohala, it looks like you used Dex instead of Str for determining your attack bonus with Hands Afire (a touch attack).

Other than that, everything looks good.  Hopefully we'll get a child board soon!

I wondered about that because you asked about taking Weapon Finesse.

Cool!  I'll PM AC in another day or so if we don't have the thread.
