Size-class upgrade to Large gives a bonus to strength.

So you're telling me that a Half-Ogre has a larger Strength bonus than a normal Ogre?

Since Half-Ogres have +4 from race and +8 from size, whilst normal Ogres just have a flat +10 from race.

Does that not strike you as odd?

Use the power of Free LA.
The what?
Fifth and Sixth tier classes get a free point of Level Adjustment for each level, as a compensation for being terrible. You can play a third level fighter as a half-dragon with no problems.

It does, but D&D is weird like that. Advancing a creature up a size class makes it stronger than starting it at that size class.

Heheh yeah no.

You'd use this, which specifies using that table for natural armor, Armor Class, attack rolls and grapple bonus. Not ability scores. That's handled seperately/included in the Ability changes the template makes.

Might need to change domains if the GM wants me to pick from some fixed list of dieties.
I don't believe in limiting player choice, so take any diety you want.

Also, I'd consider applying a template to be a bit less vanilla. Not sure which I want though. How much, if any, LA woud you be willing to waive for this character Immaterial?
Only if you take negative LA from Planetwisted.

((No meetup phase?))
Well, we all know the eventual result, so... why not skip into the action?

Because it allows everyone to form better party dynamics, mostly. Although my favorite tactic is to form parties by having someone say "You lot! You're a band of adventurers now, so deal with it!".

That's a good point. I'll keep it in mind.

Planetwisted is awesome. It also works well for the planned backstory I'm sort of forming. Thanks for the suggestion.

So I just take perks and penalties that cancel out in terms of points, right?

Alright. A few quick questions.

1: Can somebody doublecheck my skills? I have the distinct feeling that I may have screwed them up.

2: I'd like to swap Knowledge: History for Sense Motive as a class skill. Would that be okay. My reasoning is that she can litteraly smell the desires and fears of others thanks to the Planetwisted Natural Skill perk. Its no big deal, I have no plan to invest in either skill any time soon, but it just makes sense thematically.

3: The Planetwisted Page mentioned that rituals exist to create planetwisted. Do rituals exist in this setting to modify existing ones? Thematically it seems like it would be cooler to put my GP and EXP towards 'evolving' than grabbing feats or magical items every time. Clearly this is more of a long term issue, and won't come into play until after the point where the game is likely to die :)

1. Ya, it looks like you are four points over.
2. Go ahead.
3. Sounds good. Let's roll with that.
