This is for anything you notice either being done wrong, or you want to know if it is allowed.

I saw an option on the SRD for specialized wizard to take an additional spell from their school at each lvl of their favored class, so they would get three spells for the spellbook instead of two at each lvl up would this be allowed? Also what are your thoughts on the eschew materials feat?

Acellus, have you seen this thread? http://rpgcrossing.com/showthread.php?t=92472

It's all about the mapmaking tools and tips the DMs use.

Alexader has a point about Eschew Materials. It's less important for my cleric than his wizard but still relevant. How close an eye do you keep on mundane material components?

[Acellus]

I will be giving a "present" to each of you when we begin, so lets say Eschew Materials free to all casters, and Toughness to all non caster.

I know that character sheets were part of our applications; how much are they set in stone? I've been thinking about switching over to a musket instead of a pistol for my starting weapon, which might also affect what feats I want to take.
Also, will there be advanced firearms in this game? Or only early ones? (Obviously there's no guarantee I'll be able to find or afford advanced ones, I just want to know if they exist in the game world.)

[Acellus]

They will exist, hard to find someone to buy them from though, and the character sheets are not set until Friday. You can make any changes before then.

What about the half caster half melee?

Choose 1 or the other, but if you cast spells I usually advise taking eschew mats, because otherwise you need to carry a spell pouch with mats, and refill it.

Thank you.

Hmm.

25 point buy, bonus feat, a week preparation to make a character sheet? How too kind, Acellus.

I'm glad you admit it though, this isn't your milk of human kindness, is it? We're walking into the meatgrinder.

Right, going to hone my character sheet. The good thing is that there are only limited ways to screw up a lvl 1 cleric. Got spells? Check. That's the main thing.

Ha! I'm definitely looking forward to this game.

Okay, I have a question about feats. It's not something I've had come up before so I'm not sure how to handle it. As a human, I start with two feats. If one of my first level feats was a prerequisite for another feat, would I be able to take that other feat as my second? For example, Dodge and Mobility, or Point Blank Shot and Far Shot?

Yes, you can do that. As long as you have the pre-req than you can.

[StevenPoopMD]

Good, because I did it too lol

[Lazersetcetera]

Acellus, I need to pick one more language. I want it to fit for sane and RP reasons, no Infernal for instance. Any PC from the town will know what sort of creatures live around the town, so I'll pick that (Dwarvish - Orc, Goblinoid or Giantish). If you do not want to give the game away I'll either:

-Pick one and hope for the best or
-listen to your hints before picking one.

[Acellus]

I would take some form of lizardman speech, not sure their exact language right now, at work and can not check. We will assume though Swampy land = Lizardmen a LOT, Dwarf, Elven and Orc are all good too.

[Alexader]

Lizard Folk receive Automatic Common and Draconian,... Well at least according to D&D 3.5 Monster Manual...
