I'll join in later. Admittedly, it's been like 12 years since I've played. Blame the N64.

Except for cross-class skills. It takes two skill points to rank up.

Okay. You are able to learn both acid spells, but we're going to need to do something about the wall of gears. It's quite different from the rest of the spells, and probably is part of a spell list filled with other gear related stuff...
Okay, when we go through a dungeon with a wall of gears, and whatever other mexhanus spells are in a dungeon designed by a mechanus, you will be able to find the ability to cast them within yourself. That is how sorcerers learn spells, through their charisma, right?

They learn spells by leveling up, but unusual spells they must have experience with, either by seeing the spell, seeing a similar spell, or by knowing a similar spell. The spell can still only be learned upon leveling up though.

Current rule book tally
Player handbook
Dugeonmaster guide
Player handbook 2
System Reference Document
Monster manual
Tome of battle
Complete adventurer (scout and feats only)
Spell compendium
+greater multishot (from Psionic handbook)
+leap attack (from complete warrior)
+stormtrooper? (from complete warrior)
If you aren't a crusader, warblade or swordsage, you don't need to read the tome of battle, just as the sorcerer doesn't need to know what exactly a scout can do. Though please find a way to reliably access your class and feats pertaining to them.

The spell can still only be learned upon leveling up though. I meant through fluff. Sorcerers spontaneously develop the talent that wizards take years to develop, because they don't study spells as much as tap into a latent power they already have. For unusual spells like the wall of gears, the ability to cast it is there, but the sorcerer wouldn't even know to search for it. |

Wait, no spells from Complete Adventurer?
Eh, okay. Most are in the Spell Compendium anyways. It has about 60% of all 3.5 spells, so I'm good.

I was implying that Wall of Gears is an unusual spell, so my character wouldn't be able to learn it until he gained some understanding of it either via a Spellcraft check or reading a Scroll or something. |

Do characters gain stats at level ups, or are the base stats all they get? Also if they gain stats through progression is it random, incremental, or selected by player?

Every fourth level, (starting at level 4), you choose one stat to increase by one point. Certain spells and items can also temporarily raise a stat. A handful of feats also raise a stat.

How do you caculate max hp and starting eguipment.

Post by Golurkcanfly on Jul 26, 2014 11:58:09 GMT -6
Starting HP is the max of your class's hit dice plus your Constitution bonus. For example, my character, a Sorcerer with 12 Constitution, would get 5 HP. One from his CON, and four from his hit dice. Afterwards, though, the value on your hit dice is random.

So is there a site that describes all of this info? Did you read the tome of Battle PDF? It shows an example encounter at the back of the crusader section. Your character sheet should cover the information you see there. |
