Palanfirith:
Noldor Ranger

Ranger gets +10 constitution. And i choose +5 agility and +5 intuition. Therefore, i would have these (adding with the noldor default stats)

These are the ranger profession bonuses:

+2 to all weapon skills
+3 to all General skills
+2 to Perception
+2 to Stalk/Hide

and these are the base skills of the noldor

Unarmoured- 5
One-handed edged weapons- 5
Missile Weapons- 5
Ride- 5
Swim- 10
Stalk/Hide- 10
Read Runes- 10
Use Item- 5
Perception- 15
Stamina- 6

What the profession gets me:

RANGER: Manoeuvre (2), Weapon Skills (3), General Skills (4), Subterfuge Skills (2), Stamina (+12)

Now ..i’m having trouble adding these 3 up ..especially, calculating my level two stats. can you help me with that?

As a noldor, i have two background points (don’t know if they increase by level)

So...one goes to Observant and one to animal empathy(+20 to all maneuver/ride rolls made with the chosen type of animal, +50 to all communication attempts with it.).

Ok, Fitch, your stats are:

Strength:0
Agility: 20
Constitution:20
Intelligence: 10
Intuition: 10
Presence:15

Making your level zero skills:

Unarmoured- (5/20)= 25
One-handed edged weapons- (5)= 5
Missile Weapons- (5/20)= 25
Ride- (5/10)= 15
Swim- (10/20)= 30
Stalk/Hide- (10/15)= 25
Read Runes- (10/10)= 20
Use Item- (5/10)= 15
Perception- (15/10)= 25
Stamina- 6

Ok, now, can you see what Dxx did with adding the level bonuses?

ok

level 1 :

Manoeuvre(2) : 2xSoft Leather
Weapon Skills(3) : 3xMissile Weapons
General Skills(4) : Climb,Perception,track,Swim
Subterfuge Skills(2) : Stalk/Hide,Disarm Trap
Stamina(+12)

hmm...the hard part level 2:

Manoeuvre(2) : 4xSoft Leather
Weapon Skills(3) : 3xMissile Weapons,3xOne-handed edged weapons
General Skills(4) : Climb,3xPerception,3xtrack,Swim
Subterfuge Skills(2) : 3xStalk/Hide,Disarm Trap
Stamina(+12)

is it ok ?

Can I join?

Certainly can, Trickster.

Ok, done. Just your backgrounds, Fitch.

So backgrounds...one goes to Observant(a special +10 bonus to perception and Track) and one to animal empathy(+20 to all maneuver/ride rolls made with the chosen type of animal, +50 to all communication attempts with it.).

Ok, added that Observant bonus in

Okie dokey... I'm pretty sure this is how its done:

Revan, Silvan Elf Ranger
Unarmored-(5/10)=15
One handed bladed weapons-(5/2)=7
Missile Weapons-(15/10/2)=17
Climb-(10/10/3)=23
Ride-(5/5/3)=13
Swim-(15/10/3)=28
Stalk/hide-(20/5/2)=27
Read Runes-(5)=5
Perception-(15/5/2)=22
Stamina-(6)

Here's the part I'm not sure about--where do I put my background stuff?

Just mention iut underneath.

It looks ok, Revan, but to help me check, could you post your stats choices and where you spent your first level points?

Race bonuses: +10 agility, +5 intuition, +5 presence
Ranger bonuses: +2 weapons, +3 general, +2 perception, +2 stalk/hide

Revan, Silvan Elf Ranger
Unarmored-(5/10)=15
One handed bladed weapons-(5/2)=7
Missile Weapons-(15/10/2)=17
Climb-(10/10/3)=23
Ride-(5/5/3/5)=13
Swim-(15/10/3)=28
Stalk/hide-(20/5/2)=27
Read Runes-(5)=5
Perception-(15/5/2)=22
Stamina-(6)

Background stuff:
Animal Empathy
good quality weapon: elf longbow a lot like the one Legolas was given in Lorien
good quality weapon: two short swords, somewhere between Hadhafang and Legolas' white knives in length (I assume that counts as one weapon, if not I'll just have a sword)
Increase "ride" by 5

That ok?

Ah... did you increase any stats with the two +5s that you get? And as a Ranger you would set your Constitution to +10.

*is confused* Its been a full *counts* TWO WEEKS since I've seriously used my brain. I need help.

Heh...

Okidokey, well, the very first thing you do is add two lots of +5 to your stats.

Then when you chose your Profession, that sets one of your stats to +10.

So first thing you need to do is chose which stats you will add the +5s to. Being a Ranger, your Constitution will then become +10.

*drops jaw*

Wow, sometimes you should PM me about these things, Ush!

I should? Would that help?

Well, I just realized that this was here. 😖

But now that I've found it, I suppose I'd better get crackin, eh?

Please feel free!

How's that

I still need it specified what stats you added to and how you spent your skills for first level.

I'm never gonna have time for this...maybe I'll try again later tonight or tomorrow...
