Duran also now gets a to-hit bonus on his attack rolls of +1 for being a second level fighter (see Ascending AC Combat Table, p. 35), and his saving throw is now 13.<br /><br />The training will take two weeks. I can tell you in this instance that there is no in-game penalty to your characters for spending the two weeks in town while Duran (and potentially Varros) train. Because of the content of the coming post (which I should have finished soon) you all won't lose out on any opportunities by letting Duran train.<br />Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857943845134368047.post-16298035974737470542013-04-07T12:40:22.602-04:002013-04-07T12:40:22.602-04:00Duran - Fighter

(to get the perk of +1 hp). <br /><br />If it's just a question of spending enough g.p. to get the x.p. (without worrying about the perk), then it's any amount you want to spend and any amount of time you want to spend. <br /><br />That said, I think we can say that Filbert will be willing to wait for 2 weeks of healing, training, refitting, etc.<br /><br />He might grumble about it, but deep down he knows you guys are the bees knees, and he's not likely to find a more badass bunch of guys to throw in with.

I come up with a total potential x.p. based on your numbers of 2194.9 -- my guess is that you may have forgotten to convert g.p. to x.p. for some minor expense at at some point. It looks like you should have either about 18 x.p. more or about 17 g.p. more. Feel free to add in the difference.<br /><br />Level advancement is slow enough in PbB; you don't want to make it harder on yourself than it is already, even if it is by just a few coins/xp. :)Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857943845134368047.post-85323223019784316122013-04-06T13:07:20.413-04:002013-04-06T13:07:20.413-04:00OOC: You all would have used up one day's rati...OOC: You all would have used up one day's rations (I can't remember if I asked everyone to subtract earlier or not).

If your total falls short of this, it means you've forgotten to add in something that you earned, or that you spent g.p. and forgot to convert to x.p. If that's the case, go ahead and simply add in the difference in gold and/or x.p. as you see fit. If your total is a bit over that, it's probably okay, provided you've got some sort of x.p. bonus (either from your stats or from some bonus question I offered in the comments). <br /><br />If you have a bonus, your potential (again assuming you spent every g.p. possible) would be: <br /><br /><b>2213 xp (5% bonus)<br />2318 xp (10% bonus)<br />2424 xp (15% bonus)</b><br /><br />This should give you an idea as to where you stand. Basically everyone but Oloc should be capable of leveling at this point (assuming you spend sufficient g.p.), regardless of bonus.<br /><br />Remember every g.p. you spend counts as x.p. earned. That includes buying gear, buying magic items, giving gold to the hirelings, cost of living, etc. The special "major expenditures" in the x.p. from spending rules are different only in that they can get you an added perk of some kind (like the gift of Gaven's amulet from the church).
