> [@appleciders](#): > > Well, you’ll just have to have a sale! Slash prices across the board! > > I’m trying to finalize everyone’s characters now. **Larry Borgia** , did you calculate your character with more than 20 points for attributes, or maybe roll for stats instead? We’re doing point buy, so your stats are a little too high. I knocked your Wisdom and Charisma down by one point each; that brought you in line with everyone else. In addition, you seem to have spent four points in some skill catergories, and you can’t do that-- you’re only level three, so three points spent is the max. Let me know if I missed something. > > **John DiFool** , did you select traits? I’m not seeing them. Huh. I worked with the point buy system, twenty points, using the calculator you PM’d me… I added two ability points at the end to my DEX as the extra two points you get for being human. I’ll check it out again. I’ll revise my skills as well. ---

Thanks for clearing up the ability score issue via pm,\*\* appleciders\*\*. I’ve sent in a still revised character sheet. Giacomo may eventually want to buy some poisons from the alchemist. Speaking of which, how much money are we starting with? ---

100 gp, and don’t worry about spending it before we start. You’ll have a quick opportunity to spend in the immediate beginning of the game, and the first adventure will have pretty good treasure and a good chance to spend it. We’re very close. I’ll be ready shortly, and I will post the game thread tomorrow at the latest. ---

Hey, I just want to make sure I’m clear about skill points and the +3 Pathfinder gives to class skills you put a rank in. Let’s say Boris is a fighter. Boris has a strength of 15 for a plus 2 bonus. Boris puts 2 ranks in climb, a fighter skill, and has no misc modifiers. Then would Boris’ climb bonus be 2(ability modifier) + 2(ranks) +3(1 rank in class skill) for a total of 7? Thanks. ---

**John DiFool** , I still need traits for Solsken. Other than that, everything is ready to go. I’m going to start the game thread this evening, as one characters traits missing won’t derail anything significant. ---

OK, I’ve sent one more slightly modified sheet in, mostly taking into account the plus three bonus. Hopefully that is the last one. Next time I will use pc gen I think. Also, one trait I selected is [Black Sheep](http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/campaign-traits/rise-of-the-runelords/black-sheep). I’m not sure how you will handle the disreputable friend, but I’ll leave it in your hands. ---

Done! [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=17012254) is the new setup thread and [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=713051) is the game thread itself. I’ll give you folks a short time to introduce yourselves in-thread, and then we’ll start the adventure proper. ---

Reading this, I had a great idea for a Sorcerer/Monk, but seems my background would have been too similar to Aji’s. Oh well. I was thinking he’d be from Mongolia, or maybe Tibet, fleeing the Mongol horde. I would like to be considered for joining though, if more space opens up. ---

You should go ahead and post in the setup thread- that’s where I’ll look for alternates. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/more-d-d-on-the-sdmb/677527.md?page=11)
