You need to add an affinity point to an elemental thingy...like earth, wind, fire...the elements, not the band. It can't be one you already have. Add a deficiency point to an element affinity: I think it can be for one you have, but why would you want to? And add a skill point to one of your main skills or add it to one of the other skills listed in your character sheet.

(I'm resting but I'll put 1 affinity into water, 1 definity into fire and the skill point into sleight of hand? Oh and which spells can I have? )

Okay.

I'll put my affinity point in Fire, and my deficiency in Water

I'll use my 1 skill point on Survival

Spell to Learn: Active Utility (?)

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

You don't gain EXP while unconscious, you gain EXP for participating in an event.
Chloe participated, therefor she gets the EXP (I don't wanna play around with vastly varying EXP)

Leara barely manages to get a crystal out of the ground. It glows with Angelous energy.

Level Ups Work like this:
You have your elemental affinity point, put it in ANY element you don't have a deficiency for.
You gain a skill point you can put into any skill, but you can have a maximum of your level into a skill, for example:
You're level 3, you can have a maximum of 3 skill points into a skill.

An Active Utility ability is one you activate out-of combat. Here's some examples:

Quick-Trap: 5 Times pers day, Create a trap within seconds so long as you have the materials.

Derive Effects: 5 times per day, with the help of a herbalism kit, you can derive the effects of any plant you see for medicine/poison within seconds.

Animal Empathy: Once per day you can interact with an animal with an "Animal Handling" check and, if you succeed, you connect with that animal for 24 hours with an empathetic link. You can feel when this animal is in trouble, is happy, and whatever else can be communicated with basic emotion.

Chloe, you must choose whether you want a passive or active, then whether you want that passive or active to be Offensive, Defensive, or Utility(Out of Combat Use)

Fearful, you do roll a d20 and add 1 to that result, as said on your character sheet, which is on the second post of this thread.
You also roll a d8 for the damage of your weapon.

Please tell me what random dice roller you're using so I know to never, ever, ever use it. Honestly, I don't think you've had one good roll since starting.

Oh, yes, this is one that's definitely adjusted on the south side. Last time I tried to roll a character with this, I don't think I rolled anything higher than a 10 on 3 d6s for something like 15 minutes. I got out my regular dice and rolled by hand and the problem was solved.

Well I don't really have a dice irl because I never played D&D

Got any Dexreth amulets?

Don't worry too much about it, Frogge. I have very little experience with the D&D ruleset as well, and Ratty hasn't played it before either, as far as I understood. As long as you try to act in-character and just put some effort into understanding the rules and Seiromem's posts, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time. In general, just keep in mind that you can pretty much do anything you want, as long as your character could and would realistically do it. And if you have any questions, then I'd say just ask.

Could I have an active utility one then please?
frogge i use google to make a roll. Like i just Google '1 to 20 dice roll'
I slowly figure out how to use my gun.
I aim it at the demon and attack
D20: 14+1
D8: 5

So I guess I'll chose Derive Effects for my active utility since it'll synergize well with my herbalism kit. Are the list of spells available by your pm only?

Since the website you're using is apparently weighted, I'll let you roll again Frogge. I personally use Random.org for all my rolls.

Active Utility for Chloe!

Water Breathing: Three times per day you select up to 5 people within 20 feet of you to give them the ability to breath underwater for 5 minutes.

Control Water: Roll a spell-caster check (d20 + your level + your water affinity). You can control an amount of water up to the amount you rolled in feet. You can make this water do a number of things, such as form a shape, stay in place, or flow in another direction.

Wind Step: You can hover 1 foot off the ground for 5 turns. This can be used to hover over holes or other pit obstacles. Anything directly below you gets blown away from you.

I also misspoke about Active Utility abilities. They CAN be used in combat, but their intended use if for outside of combat, like Aldus' prestidigitation.

Anyways, is camping at the intersection the official action? I'll need it in bold.

Thanks a lot Seiro. I'm gonna use random.org from now on too(I rolled a 6 now but it would probably seem like I'm biasing myself so I rolled a second time).

I rolled a 3 and well, used Leaping Pounce.
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

If there are flocks of killer bats in here, we should definitely go back out and camp at the mouth of the cave or even outside. Bats are nocturnal, and we won't have a good time if we stay in their territory.

On the other hand, if there are flocks of killer bats in here, I'm thinking there probably isn't an active mining operation any more.

If someone points out to me that we should rather camp outside, I'm fine with that. Inside, outside, it's pretty relative anyway. You can get hit by lightning in either environment.
Let's head outside to camp for the night and wait for Chloe to get back on her feet.

Edit: Oh wait, I forgot Leara handed me that Energy Crystal.

"Oh, thank you, Leara. That's very considerate of- gah!" I drop the crystal as it touches my fingers and start rubbing my hand. That felt very wrong indeed. The power that comes off it is so very rigid, so unflexible and one-sided. It almost hurt.
For once, I am not smiling, and an uncharacteristic look of concern appears on my face. "Were all the crystals inside there like this, Leara? Oh, probably not, how would we know? We might find better ones if we return later."
