Anyone thinking of starting a game.

[Seekerofshadowlight]

Yep the shoanti has won. Gonna go with koddak of the Shriikirri-Quah ( Hawk clan). He'll be Human(strong)/tribesmen: soldier.Gonna go earth breaker focused. I do have some questions.

Tribemen ( the errata of it) gives me Riding Mounts focus.  If I take riding do I also choose a second one?
Should I make him at level 3 or level 4?
What about stat sheets? I could save it on one of the form-fillable ones email it to ya and/or post it to google docs.

Edit:

Another one. Starting stake to buy gear?
And should I roll for vitality?

[Catodon]

Welcome from me too!
With regard to sheets. We have used word or similar to create the text and to keep notes during play. for typical setting outs and a look at the other PC's see:
http://www.crafty-games.com/content/rise-runelords-fc

You'll note that unlike the character sheet rather than splitting into combat, non-combat etc. most of us have kept all the feats together, all the origin stuff together etc.
Hope this helps.

Thank ya. I'll finish him up in the next few days and see if I can get it into something resembling a stat sheet format.

Sorry for the delay...

Korrigan are largely as described by the Goblin entry in FC.
Fomor are a mix of the description in FC and Goliaths from D&D. They might correspond more closely to one of the newer playable races in Bestiary 2 or 3, but I haven't looked too closely.

Starting gold is (100 + (10 x Prudence)) x Level, or 500 for you. You may also spend your first income before play. (Note this is a houserule, RAW is 100 x Level)

Yes, you may take a second focus.

What do you mean roll vitality? It's fixed. In your case it would be 4 x (12+2) or 56.

An Earthbreaker, mechanically, is a orc-crafted maul.

Also, material upgrades:

• Nexavaran Steel, aka "Cold Iron" - Use Heartstone
• Adamantine - Use Keeper Iron
• Mithril - Use Hyskonian Steel

Also, I'm not sure it applies, but remember that Skill point gains from Int are retroactive in FC.

Also, you may spend your Rep before you enter play, but the Prize limit still applies.

[Seekerofshadowlight]

Ty, I am about done above. I just have some gear to buy mostly.  If you see anything I did wrong please let me know.Yeah about the vitality I was still in 3.5/pathfinder mode

I didn't even see the orc weapon quality , I was just gonna use a maul

[Krensky]

Frankly, the upgrade system is one of the most useful bits of the gear system.

Who needs magic items when you can do so much with mundane ones?

[Seekerofshadowlight]

True, I am still tinkering with bits. The monster system is just a thing of beauty.

[Mister Andersen]

• Nexavaran Steel, aka "Cold Iron" - Use Heartstone
• Adamantine - Use Keeper Iron
• Mithril - Use Hyskonian Steel

Those last two aren't immediately familiar. Where are they from?

The Adventure Companion. Keeper Iron is in the Epoc chapter, and Hykosian Steel is in Cloak and Dagger

Ok I think I am done.
