Other then age and weight, drastic variables 120-160 for a 6'3" person, extremely thin(Bean pole) to just thin. BMI chart shows 6'3 158-176 as small framed, 181-207 as large framed-good weight.
Age is not as big a deal, 19 would have less worldly exp then a 25 yr old, but the whole range in the era would be a trained adult warrior.
With muscle mass being considered, I'd expect a six-footer who can fight with a heavy sword to be a 200-pounder. At 21, I was 5'10", 210, into martial arts, and able to do things that most would consider physically impossible... including me at 42. (And the same weight, dammit.)

Bressel could do a berry search, How do I roll it?
If we go with 1 hour, I say 1d20. So you'll get 1-20 berries that are ideal for goodberry magic.

SP and I kind of agreed on the multiplier (1) representing the hours, and the die (d20?) representing how much edible plantlife there is. So far, it's been a d20 roll every time, though maybe someday we'll roll a d8 or d100 or whatever SP says for that area.

True, Muscle weights more then fat, so our "normal" would be low for a muscular man. So I would say use "large framed" weight as minimum. I would not consider someone 210 as being over weight. (And you can bet, I would never tell them, even if I thought it. :) )

Ugh, I -hate- trying to figure out how much people weigh. Hate, hate, hate. I've heard the BMI is flawed, too, which doesn't help.

Ok well I wasn't sure about what his weight should have been
@LS could you change it to 200lb? And age to 20?
Done.

Do you want to settle on a height? I went with the middle choice of 6'4" for now.

I think 200's a little light for that tall, but not too light, and Zoran's stats are perfect for this. He's a little strong (+1 STR) and also a little lanky (-1 CON), and I agree it's an agile body type making the +3 DEX believable.



On another note, I have no idea what Baldhart should weigh. I just kept weight out of it!

If anyone makes a roll that might do something, I started a list. I'd rather edit so it's all in one post, just so SP can get info without sifting through a cluttered thread.

I don't know how long he'll be offline.

Hey guys...got back to town late last night. Sorry for the extended delay. I'm catching up on work today, and I'll be going through the thread and PMs etc relating to the game when I get home this evening. I'll get an update posted, and I also owe you guys XP. Thanks for the patience!

Welcome back. I hope all is well.

I'm under the opinion, and I think players agree, that we can have the party further west--either in Ballara (or on the way), or having stumbled onto the caravan Tarlack mentioned (or tracks leading to it).

I just posted some XP. Thanks for being patient. Between my daughter's health and then having to get caught up on everything at work, since I missed so many days, I have been swamped. Working on an update to the game thread now.

Thanks and I hope everything is going better now.
Btw to everyone else did we ever talk about the gold and the other items we got from the amphitheatre?

I think we said we'd give the gold to the children so they'd be provided for.

...

*hunts madly through the threads for HP/level progression* I swear this time I'll write it down in my Docs file so I remember it! I just need to find it again!

The agreement to give the children a share was made when my characters weren't around. I thought the party accepted Baldhart's alternative.

Baldy's only problem with that: gold = armor and weapons. It was likely Baldhart who suggested it's better she and Nissa use their share to see the kids well fed and properly clothed, and let the rest of the party members save up for armor. (Her other objection, which may or may not have been mentioned, was in principle: it doesn't make sense to give shares to those we rescue, though she has no problem giving up part of her own share.)



Also, Baldy would've counted that box fulla money by now. So… how much in addition to what was on the corpses? (Or just a grand total will do.)

By the way, Baldhart is getting her hammer out of her bag while talking to Dalla. Unlike Baldy's handling of hostages, she will allow time for party members to voice whether or not she should destroy the knife.

Waiting on Steerpike to let me know what Liadan knows/remembers/finds out about the dark gods mentioned in the book before I make another reading check. I think I ninja'd his last update a bit.
