Random DM nagging 2: Endless nagging

[Ebiris]

cmd: +6 bab, +7 dex (with weapon finesse), +2 size
cmd: same just add 10 for base

edit: I saw your post to Neph suggesting size bonuses are inverted for cmb. Corrected by subtracting 4 from each now. Which makes power selection easier later on!

Ability scores:
Starting stats: 17, 16, 15, 15, 13, 12

Modifiers after race/cat-form/spellwarped/collar/levelups: STR -4, DEX +8, CON +6, INT +8, WIS +2, CHA +2

Current abilities: Str 8, Dex 25, Con 22, Int 25, Wis 17, Cha 17
Required base:         12     17      16      17      15      15

So yeah, I had that 13 turned into a 17 somewhere along the line.

A slight rejigger gives me Str 8, Dex 23, Con 22, Int 25, Wis 17, Cha 15

Altered ac/cmb/skills to match (also added +2 to perception for racial bonus)

Feats: My second psion bonus feat is swapped for the telepathy feature.

Powers: Swapped Schism for Psionic Freedom of Movement.

[Nephrite]

Changed the languages to Aquan and Terran and made the other modifications. I figured my Init was +4 since of the armor, but I changed it back to +5.

Iddy's next.

- Okay, your HP is 60 but your rolls tab says 52. Where's the other +8 coming from?

- I'd suggest removing the +1 to AC from mindspy, as it's conditional on successfully skimming the surface thoughts of your opponent.

- Your CMB should be +8, not +7. You forgot to adjust it for your Strength modifier.

- Your CMD is low. You get to add any non armor, non natural bonuses to armor class. That means your +4 wisdom bonus to armor class applies for a total of 26. Likewise, your mindspy bonus applies to that when you have it active.

- Your full attack is wrong. 7+4+1 is 12, not 11. Likewise, your second attack is off. You have +2 BAB to it, not +1. It should be 7. Your ranged full attack is also 1 too low on both. I'd say don't apply point blank shot since it's a conditional, but your range limitations largely makes this irrelevant.

- Damage looks off as well. Your SA is one too high. In particular, dagger sneak attack is at +2d6 when it should be at +1d6.

- The DC of detect thoughts is one too low. It's 10 + 1/2 hit dice + Charisma modifier. That's a total of 16 (18 after ability focus) for you, not 15. (The save DC rises as you level and your Charisma score changes. I suspect you didn't calculate this at all, and the +2 is from Ability Focus. So it should be 18 and not 16.)

- Saves? Fort looks 2 too high. Your base save is 1 (+1 rogue, +0 IB, +0 mindspy), 3 from your Con modifier and 2 from your cloak of resistance. That's 6. Am I missing a booster somewhere? Ref and Will look right, though.

- Your inspiration should be 3, not 2. As noted in invisible blade, that and factotum's inspiration pool stack.

- Skills look right. I mention it since I've used so much red ink already.

- Re: Feats. Can you have them all listed together somewhere, rather than spread out amid class features?

- Your level six feat lacks the name of the feat. I know it's Ability Focus. Also, note what ability it applies to.

- Rogues get penetrating strike as a houserule rather than trap sense. Unless you want trap sense and ACF out penetrating strike. I doubt you do.

Everything else looks good. Whew.

Yeah, I was sure one of them was off. Glad it's fixed.

Noted to all of those.

Fair enough. Fixed then, good to go.

- Okay, your HP is 60 but your rolls tab says 52. Where's the other +8 coming from?

The rolls didn't include the +2 CON item I bought:

Level 1:8+3=11
Level 2:2+3=5
Level 3:4+3=7
Level 4:8+3=11
Level 5:5+3=8
Level 6:2+3=5
Level 7:3+3=6
Level 8:4+3=7
11+5+7+11+8+5+6+7=60.

- I'd suggest removing the +1 to AC from mindspy, as it's conditional on successfully skimming the surface thoughts of your opponent.

Done.

- Your CMB should be +8, not +7. You forgot to adjust it for your Strength modifier.

Done.

- Your CMD is low. You get to add any non armor, non natural bonuses to armor class. That means your +4 wisdom bonus to armor class applies for a total of 26. Likewise, your mindspy bonus applies to that when you have it active.

Done.

- Your full attack is wrong. 7+4+1 is 12, not 11. Likewise, your second attack is off. You have +2 BAB to it, not +1. It should be 7. Your ranged full attack is also 1 too low on both. I'd say don't apply point blank shot since it's a conditional, but your range limitations largely makes this irrelevant.

Done. I kept the PBS stuff in since the limitations pretty much ensure I'll always get it. I did make a note for that, though.

- Damage looks off as well. Your SA is one too high. In particular, dagger sneak attack is at +2d6 when it should be at +1d6.

Done.

- The DC of detect thoughts is one too low. It's 10 + 1/2 hit dice + Charisma modifier. That's a total of 16 (18 after ability focus) for you, not 15. (The save DC rises as you level and your Charisma score changes. I suspect you didn't calculate this at all, and the +2 is from Ability Focus. So it should be 18 and not 16.)

Done. You're right, I just went off of Doppel instead of figuring for stats.

- Saves? Fort looks 2 too high. Your base save is 1 (+1 rogue, +0 IB, +0 mindspy), 3 from your Con modifier and 2 from your cloak of resistance. That's 6. Am I missing a booster somewhere? Ref and Will look right, though.

Not sure, I'll put what you got.

- Your inspiration should be 3, not 2. As noted in invisible blade, that and factotum's inspiration pool stack.

Done.

- Re: Feats. Can you have them all listed together somewhere, rather than spread out amid class features?

Alright. You'll have to tell me how you want them split.

- Your level six feat lacks the name of the feat. I know it's Ability Focus. Also, note what ability it applies to.

Done.

- Rogues get penetrating strike as a houserule rather than trap sense. Unless you want trap sense and ACF out penetrating strike. I doubt you do.

Put Trap Sense back, added the House Rule feat.

[Anastasia]

Noted Iddy. Everything looks good and that makes sense on the HP.

As far as feats go, I talked to you in PM, so I'll summarize here. If it's a feat, put it with the other feats. It doesn't matter if it comes from gaining levels, bonus feats from classes, racial feats or from where ever else.

[Anastasia]

My game prep's mostly done. So if you make any large changes to your character from now to game start, toss a post up so I know.

[Anastasia]

How goes that log, Iddy?

[Iron Dragoon]

How goes that log, Iddy?

It is up. I did the edit of it and got sidetracked before I posted it. Woke up this morning at like 7 am and remembered I hadn't done so yet, and then did so.

Looks solid, thanks.

[Anastasia]

One more day! Be ready and be prepared. Last call for any pre-game questions or adjustments.

[Anastasia]

Quick update: You all rested last session. Restore hit points for a night's rest. It wasn't brought up yesterday by mistake.

[Anastasia]

Also, while I'm at it? Eb and Cor, when does DST end for you?
