Taking Stock

Can you please look over the above details and correct anything that is in error.  Keep in mind that I could easily have been told something that did not lead to the above table being corrected.

Oh, regarding Bergthora's experience.

In keeping the ideas of this post about non-level training, I've decided that after 400 x.p., all further x.p. gained is divided by 10%, unless earned in the presence of someone with training experience.  This will allow Bergthora and others to steadily, painfully, gain on becoming first level, but it will take a long time without help.

Pardon me while I interrupt the narrative.

I would like if you could answer some questions about your character.  Please keep your answers simple and to the point, if possible.  Some of this is information I could take the time looking up, or I could just get you to tell me quickly and easily, saving me time.

• What is your character's preferred hand-to-hand weapon (proficiencies only)?
• What armor are you wearing most of the time?
• Are you usually wearing a helmet or do you envision yourself as bareheaded most of the time?
• If you prefer a helmet, what sort is it?
• What is the general color of your clothing?
• What is the top layer of clothing worn over your shoulders?
• Are you usually wearing gauntlets or are you barehanded most of the time?
• What is your hair color and description from the character generator?

Take your time and give it some thought.  This is how you're going to look most of the time.

Now, the rest of you, don't get too rattled by this.  I'll be working on these in order of posting.  Aleksandra was just first, is all.

The hardest part of doing Lothar is actually getting a good balance on his 98 lbs. size.  I messed with the length of his arms for quite a while.  Sorry, Lothar, I decided to have your leather armor under your dress; let me know if there's something you'd like changed:

I have to say that drawing "wheaten" hair against a pale nordic skin presents a contrast issue: but I still think this works for Rowan the Druid, who was next in the order:

This one makes me think the player is just trying to push me to see what I'll do.  This is my first character with a beard; I tried something different with the war hammer (which I'm yet unhappy with), and I even got the cross in:

And here, at last, is Gudbrand.  I tried to make his hair straighter than that of the other characters, but I didn't seem to manage it.  No question, there are still limits on hair.  I'm not really happy with the clenched, hand, either ~ looks like a prosthetic.  But at least this looks something like the picture for Gudbrand's character:
