And that's my bad. I shall make the adjustment. Can the staff be Electrum? It's a gold and silver alloy. Moreover, should it be a rune staff? It strikes me that a character who focusses on such a risky school of magick would have the best gear money could buy.

The best gear money can buy, but if you're from the Eastern states, unless you're one of the few wealthy families managing to keep your wealth, I doubt you'd have a great deal of funds to use on such equipment.
Korus near made himself broke when he packed up shop to become the "Negotiator" he is now :P and that was just for a buckler. His other gear was either built by him, or was something he already had.
Jane probably had the training and skill to make her own equipment herself.

Actually, to quote something WP said to me in a PM:

QuoteAnd, to be clear here: Money or rarity is no object. You're the  best of the best being sent on a high dangerous mission, and you're being armed as such.

Narric

Oh alright, I forgot about that :P

Also, I think thats in the OP, now that I think about it XD

Does that mean I have a bit of a nerf character then? :P

When you say a Rune Staff, do you mean a staff with runes engraved into it? Because it kind of HAS to have runes engraved into it to work, I had kind of assumed that from the get-go.
Ooh, Electrum sounds cool! Yes, go with that. Nifty!


Narric: The ability doesn't replace a talent. You still have all your talents. 4 Talents AND an ability.


Edit: And nah, you're not a nerf character. Your hammer causes on average nearly 30 damage per hit when two-handed (23 minimum, 32 tops), not including the damage dealt by the shock. Plus, you can last a lot longer before running out of juice than Jayne! The man they call Jayne!

Uh...

Sorry.

Anyhoo, your character is going to crush lightly or un-armored foes  like autumn leaves. (And put quite a dent in armored dudes.) Meanwhile, 'Franklin' is going to be most useful against heavily armored dudes, and less so against un-armored or lightly armored guys. Appropriately enough, Mabbz is best at fighting agile hard-to-hit dudes. It's a nice trio.

Ah, I see. If pre-runed is the way of it, then so be it. Are there any specialist runes that I might want to have gotten? Something that would be specific to my needs rather than just "general channeling"?

I need to start explaining myself more.
Ahem.

I assumed it was runed with 'Graviton' runes, because you listed it as a 'Graviton' staff. While not terribly specific, that basically means all gravity-based spells will be getting a hefty boost. (Meanwhile the wands, which have 'Redirecting Gravity' and 'Concussive Blast' labels will be used for... Uh, redirecting gravity and Concussive blasts.

You can make the runes more specific, but keep in mind that the staff can only do what it's runed for at the exclusion of all else. The more specific you get the better the boost but the less versatile it is.)

Ah, I see. Well the staff was only really going to be used for the two big spells. They take a huge amount of power and focus to use correctly given the complexity of the effects.

So would I be able to have 2 runes one the staff, or would I just be better off having two staffs?

You can have lotsa runes on the staff. In fact, generally any magical tool is pretty much covered in runes from top to bottom. (Even if it's just the same rune over and over.) It'll still split the staff's utility a little so having two staffs might be slightly more efficient on each spell, but for a slightly higher boost (Probably +5 or +10,) you'd have to lug around two five-foot staffs made of incredibly freakin' heavy metal. (An electrum staff of that size is going to weight somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20 Kg. By the way.)

Can I ask why you dropped your Physique to 20? Physique is probably going to be more important than Agility for you.

(Also, you still have 4 Skills to add, if you want them.)

Hmm, Single staff would be best then, Given as I am not THAT strong, and other than the staff, everything is pretty light weight. Single staff with the specific runes for my two big spells then. And a generic graviton wand. Seeing as I will need something to help me with simple spells that are nothing in particular beyond gravity manipulation.

I dropped it because I assumed that getting the spells to hit, which I was under the impression came from agility would be more important.

I shall work on some idea for skills.

Can everyone do me a favor and look over their character sheets to make sure nothing is thusfar wrong? I'm in discussions about creating a 5th party member with someone, so the group's gonna be ready to go pretty soon. Excelsior!

(Which means I gotta finish filling in the lore sections.)

I added a few new skills that seem to fit the character. It is up to you how you would want me to portray them however.

I seem to be missing my Concussive Blast Wand as well. Unless you were rolling that in under generic gravity magic?
