Here you go, Iddy. Toss any comments in this thread.

Thanks Dune!

I also wanted to ask you something about the Vestments and lead linings. I kind of wanted to get the whole thing lead lined, to hide all of my daggers and my amulet, so I'm not sure how you would want to do that for the cost of 'pockets.'

How much starting gold do I have? What sort of Magical Items should I have?

Also, Merc, in the guide you wrote up for me, I've having trouble figuring out How many spells per day I have, and total spells know total.

[Merc]

What I posted in that guide was spells/day.

So you get:
Level 0 - 6 spells/day
Level 1 - 7+2 = 9 spells/day
Level 2 - 6+1 = 7 spells/day

For spells known, see page 19 (of PHB II) for the section on spells known for more details. Your spell list is a little hidden away in page 24.

Summary: Duskblades have a limited spell list, and the number of spells is also limited. You know two level 0 and two level 1 at the start, then gain one per level. You also get bonus level 0 spells based on your INT. So you can know:
Level 0 - 2+INT known
Level 1 - 5 known
Level 2 - 4 known

Does the bonus for a high score (Charisma for me) add to my known spells too, or just spells per day? I think I did everything correctly, but double-checking to be sure.

[Rukatin]

Thanks Merc.
What's my Caster Level?

You only get bonus spells/day, no spells known.

[Rukatin]

Now I just add my bonus Spells for my level 20 INT right?

That's what I thought. Thanks!

That's correct. Keep in mind, since you'd technically have INT 19 when you start out (+1 comes from a level bonus), you'd have to use INT 19 for bonus level 0 spells known since you only learn them at level 1. Your spells/day would see the bonus of INT 20 however, since those are recalculated on a daily basis.

Similarly, if you got any magic items that boost your INT, you wouldn't get more level 0 spells but would get bonus spells/day (as long as you are wearing said magic item).

I'll have to dig up some numbers here, but a few notes. 1. It'll cost a fair bit to integrate lead successfully. 2. It'll greatly increase the weight of the item, since lead is quite heavy. It's one thing to work in a pocket or two, but the entire thing being lead lined will be a thing.

If you're okay with that, say so and I'll do some math.

[Anastasia]

As far as the spell stuff and high ability scores go, Merc's right.

[Iron Dragoon]

Hmm... alright. What about just like a lined shirt?

Edit: Also, looking at wands, would you allow an eternal wand? (http://dndtools.eu/items/magic-item-compendium--73/eternal-wand-1st-level-spell--392/) I would be looking at this for a healing wand, specifically.

[Rukatin]

On our character's...*dramatic noise* AMNESIA, how extensive or complete is it? Is it total, where we know absolutely nothing at all? Or is it where we have a sense of who we are remember our names and such, even our childhoods, but as memories get closer and closer to 'now' they get increasingly hazy until the point we don't remember?

[Rukatin]

Also could you post the Pathfinder skills list and the ones a duskblade is trained in?
