Leveling up happens when you have achieved some level of XP and you get 5 or 10(For every 5 levels you go up you get an extra 5 poinds) skill points to spend on stuff. However the higher your level in something the less the individual points actually mean...So if you have level 4 strength it might cost 5 skill points per level, but if you are level 9 strength it might cost 7.

[Seraphi]

I can't find a framework for that though.

 

I'll be using 4E, since it seems to be much easier to find a decent framework.

[archimage_a]

=( But Avernum rules are so easy to use...(Its also true, Avernum does Rule!)

Ah well.

[archimage_a]

Well the general frame work is inside the hide tags...its designed so there are 2 main types of attack, with numerous extranous types. The two main types are physical and magical.

There is also acid, poison, cold, fire and disruption.

 

There are wands and scrolls which the GM may give out to the party/players, but these are at the GMs disgression.

Melee weapons, of all types, give physical damage, though can be enchanted to give other types of damage as well.

Spells can give any type of damage excepting physical, the nature of the damage depends on the spell book, which depends on the GMs disgression.

 

Levels are between 1 and 40...

 

Any questions?

That sort of thing. I can't seem to find one for Avernum, and I'm hopeless at coding, so I guess we're going with DnD 4E.

[archimage_a]

Hmmm...Ok, I will discover the framework...

[archimage_a]

Yeah...I have got the framework here, but it doesn't seem compatiable, since I can't code and the framework above is indeciferable so its not like I can even edit that...

Ah well.

[Earth]

you tried bud. but at least we know there is a code for that.

[Seraphi]

Okay, now to handle the issue to characters.

I'll try to make this as simple as possible, though I assume there will be some mishaps.

 

[hide=Character Sheet]

 

Name & Gender:

(Try to make it something at least a little fantastical. I'll need a first and last name)

 

 

Race:

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/races.htm

 

 

Description:

(The more long winded the better, but has no real value. Still, it's nice to read a good description)

 

 

Class-

http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/classes.htm

Pick one of the base classes, and only one. When you get level 2, you have the option of choosing another class, making you a multiclass character. There are good and bad points to that, but that can be explained another time.

A hit die is the dice you roll to see how many hitpoints you gain upon levelling up.

 

 

Ability Scores-

(This is where it starts to get kinda of confusing. This should help a lot, and will tell you what each of the abilities does: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/theBasics.htm#abilityScores)

Strength - 8

Dexterity - 8

Constitution - 8

Intelliegnce - 8

Wisdom - 8

Charisma - 8

(Everything starts at 8, which gives a modifier of -1. At 10, the modifier becomes 0, 12, it becomes +1, and so on. You have 30 points to spend increasing these to begin with. Catch is that whatever the modifier currently is, is what the ability costs to increase. For example, say I have a strength score of 14, which gives me a modifier of +2. Each new point I want added to that ability score costs me 2 "Starting" points, instead of 1 like it costed previously. I hope people understand that)

 

 

Alignment-

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/description.htm#alignment

(Some of this is fairly important. A paladin cannot be an evil class without losing their abilities for example. Check the class list above for detailed information)

 

 

Spells-

If you choose a magic class, you can start with four spells I believe. They must be of level zero, and you gain more spells as you increase in level.

The spell lists are here: http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/spellLists.htm

Choose your respective classes level 0 spells and take whichever ones you want, up to 4 spells.

 

 

Feats-

All 1st level characters get one feat. Fighters get an extra one, and human characters get another. If you are a human fighter, you start with 3 feats.

You may have trouble navigating this page, but just check any you like the sound of out, and pick them if they have an effect you want.

http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/feats.htm

Some feats can't be picked until later, when you have a feat that precedes it or some other requirement.

 

Inventory-

Yadda yadda yadda this is where your stuff goes. I'm going to trust you to keep track of this.

[/hide]

 

That should work. I really hope everyone can work this out and fill it in properly, but if not, I can provide assistance.

[Grim_]

Hmm cleric or wizard? :P

[Earth]

if i can posts it here.. then here i go!

[Seraphi]

Earth, I'd really appreciate it if you actually filled it out properly as in the template. I recommend opening two windows and using one for the links, and one for the writing.
