Adventurers don't get traits at this time.

Hmm, I might need to get 1 for RP purposes, otherwise unless I have about 200 points they will be weaker then order troops so not worth using them when I could use multiple other men instead to better effect.

Did I make any mistakes in my sheet?

Subject: Re: Character Bio (Discussion) 21.05.13 4:13

You didn't list a background. Masterbowman requires a total of 3 traits... good, exceptional, and finally master.

Ops, it's still ranger I must have missed it when I was copying over the bits I was keeping, so I start on exceptional bowman and only need 1 trait to make it master.

Quote :: To get a single 1 equipped to the level of an order knight so they don't just die you could just buy 2 other men instead who will do the job better.

Yeah, but economics aside it's very cool to have a party of mixed adventurers who want glory above all else. It also help to tip the scales of a standoff battle, since the potential variety of their weapons can handle every situation.

True, but unless you can afford to give them all thick armor and keen weaponry and above it'd be better to just use order troops.

Is my character ok for me to join and try to find my new partner to catch up?

Right, so now that I am here, how should I set about creating my character? The templates you provide are far too tenuos to read through in one sitting.

Well, you can expect something from me later this day.

Welcome! I'm glad you joined!

There isn't a baseline for speed at the moment, although update to the combat system is underway so there should be an answer soon.

Alrighty, glad to hear that. What do you think of the application in general?

Subject: Re: Character Bio (Discussion) 22.05.13 0:31

Spoiler:

However, I am rather interested in the concept of merry band of Shadow legionnaires crashing through taverns and having jolly good time. Not exactly something you'd imagine with them.

I don't have the time or mentality to sit hours upon hours to write something that in the end could be said in just a few words. I lost the original draft of the biography, which was supposed to be nearing a thousand words.

Welcome, Marcus!

Quote :: Also could this character have more speed? Or is 1 correct amount to avoid OP-ness?

Yes, he can spend Renown and RP to acquire traits or techniques that increase speed, such as Agile of Quick Feet.

1 is actually rather high. An average order heavy infantryman has a base speed of -2.

By the way, please wait just a bit. The character system is being updated and you may want to use the new one.

By the way, new players, please take some time to read the story of the past 120 years here, as well as the background story of your own order once you have joined it (it's on your respective hidden boards).

Judging by his avatar though, time has not been kind to our king!

Isabel is the Dawn specialist so I'll leave you to her. The stats seem right but to be honest I'm kind a lost with the new system. And I'm assuming you have regular proficiency with the lance.

Dawn have good proficiency due to being a skilled order

Subject: Re: Character Bio (Discussion) 18.06.13 16:03

As I understand it there is a generic +1sk to the skill Orders, but not the good proficiency. The two stack, but it isn't a free step towards legendary. Priest gives a free proficiency I think.

Does skillful mean all weapon skills start at 1 or 0?

This. It just means that your base stats are;

2WP
1SK
0SP

The full stats look good to me Aranor, well done.

@ Jing; It really isn't complex, it is literally +1 WP for Tough Orders, +1 Skill for Skilful or +1 Speed to the base stats. That is pretty much all I changed.
