Watchers
Been playing around with back-up character, and thinking I'll swap the Int to Cha for a Half-Elf Sorcerer. Instead of going Artificer, since there's no other gnomes and I was kinda set on gnome for that char lol.
STR: 14 - 14
DEX: 17 - 17
CON: 13 - 13
INT: 17 - 14
WIS: 13 - 13
CHA: 14 - 17

Cool. :)

That is very generous, thank you!
I think it would be very thematically appropriate for Khazus to take Expertise in Endurance. :)
I never let you miss out on a proficiency. What I usually say is choose another proficiency where you got Endurance from (class or race) and have that now instead.
OR
You can have expertise in Endurance, meaning you add double your proficiency modifier.
Aren't I generous? ;)

Due to the new homebrew feats being added to the DnD rulesets, I would like to take Pack Mule as my level 4 feat.
+1 Strength, double the item slots, proficiency in endurance.
Khazus already has proficiency in endurance, which is a shame, but double the item slots is too good to pass up.
It would be very helpful if people posted here. Anyway, I did not write down what everyone did in that 1 week of downtime in Brindol. I wish I had as I want to add notes on this to the Brindol page.
I think it went like this; please tell me otherwise:
Vitkin. With his garrison. Investigating/on watch.
Koss. ???
Cannel. ??? (I think at the temple of Erathis with Khazus?)
Khazus. Performing Inquisitor & priestly duties at the Temple of Erathis in the garrison of Brindol Keep, under the command of Captain Lars Ulverth.
Wolf & Celorin. Hunting in the lands north of the city and selling the their kills in town.
Ervinia. ???
Hetgrid & Danore. Sent on diplomatic mission by Rocc to the Hammerfist Holds.

Sorry Lachlan, I meant to get on this earlier - I checked today to make changes, but then realised you have PC sheet.
ALL of the above changes sound spot-on :) You can go ahead and make them on PC sheet if you get time. ie: take 6 XP and move to 4th level :)
Otherwise we will do the changes in pen on PC sheet tonight. :)
Glad you noticed you get an extra cantrip :)
Re the featherfall into spellbook, that would be a downtime activity which you did not take. We will have to deal with that in the future.
The PHB has a little info on copying spells into spellbook in side bar on page 114. You have probably read that and more wondering the availability and cost of scroll, but I reckon we should play that out ;)

Thanks Lachlan :) And yes, Skirin should definitely count as an extra member of the group in this regards. It is very important to know what it is doing :)

I have tried to delete this forum, but a tiny grey pop up says 'javascript' when I try to delete it and then it does not delete :(
I will have to try again another time.

Finally added "official" travel activities for Vitkin to character page. As you know, I could go into a LOT of detail, but I refrained :P
Also added Vitkin's familiar, Skirin. Not sure if allowed or not, remove if issue, But I felt if important to note that, while linked, they are two minds and bodies, two sets of senses and all, so Skirin should have his own activities as well.
Note that "looking for food" is not foraging, it is literally locating and eating food, which he mostly does if Vitkin has not fed him for a while.
"Chatting/Analytical Observation" is supposed to mean, casually chatting and/or looking at surrounds while investigating/analysing appearances and responses. If non core group members, Vitkin will chat, if not, look at surrounds.
All of which will probably rarely come into play, or be of limited use, but its there :P

Fair enough
Chaotic Good: Governments should be afraid of their people.
6 XP off next level, so posting this here so I'm ready.
If I go up 6 XP from Log, and If we do have a session Monday/Tuesday, don't feel pressured to update my character if you don't have time, I'll just go with what I got and extra cards.
Vitkin takes 4th Level in Wizard
Spells
How much would it cost to purchase Feather Fall(1) and copy it into Vitkin's spellbook?
This should be all the main points.
P.S. Or, once you confirm I’ve levelled, and that the above seems correct, I could probably update from the existing L3 sheet myself.
“Anything that can’t be disposed of with a couple of whacks from six feet of oak is probably immune to magic as well.”
Just added Vitkin's Journal for last session to Adventure Log.
Couldn't remember/interpret my notes on where we stayed on the third. So just left it out as non-critical information, maybe there was a reason why Vitkin didn't want to make note of it?. If someone remembers something important, feel free to add your own entry.

You know what? I don't think this campaign is ever going to go anywhere. I am going to delete all references to it from the site.
If EVER it is only Shane, Chaddy, Leigh and I, then I reckon we use one of our one shots. We will be lucky for this to happen once let alone for a campaign.

Staying at the West Gate Garrison, is all I need to know. Yeah, that would be a pretty modest lifestyle, but you can decide that by the week ;) When it comes to crossing off the coin for the week, you can just choose.

The following is taken from the ‘living arrangements’ forum, before I read notes from Connors and thought this would be better here.
Vitkin frequents the Stone Wyvern Tavern, conveniently located between the two, and is on good terms with the Rattling's who own and run it, seeing them as also proving the worth of the Nezumi.
He is happy to recommend the Wyvern to anyone who asks, with an energetic "Tell them Vitkin sent ya". He has also often brought off-shift guards and now Watchers to give patronage.
This is where Rocc first approached him to join the Watchers.
“Anything that can’t be disposed of with a couple of whacks from six feet of oak is probably immune to magic as well.”
Ok, After doing some research on Brindol, there is only one option. (Stop me if this doesn't work)
Vitkin stays at the West Gate Barracks, which is only a stones throw from the Watchers Guildhouse.
Vitkin lives a mostly modest to comfortable lifestyle, He keeps himself well fed (he's happy enough to spend at the Wyvern, though wouldn't say no to the odd "on the house") and reasonably healthy, his equipment and clothing in good condition, and his appearance respectable, as befits an Investigator of the Lion Guard. Outside of that, he is extremely practical, keeps few personal items or keepsakes that lack a purpose, spending only what he needs. The exception is when it comes to wizardry.
I'm not sure what exatly sure what this would come under… probably comfortable more than modest. Oh well, I feel it would fit Vitkin, so we'll see how that goes.
“Anything that can’t be disposed of with a couple of whacks from six feet of oak is probably immune to magic as well.”
My next step is to add notes after each for the Scales of War Campaign, so feel free to elaborate on any relationships you would like. Maybe do so in Vitkin's private forum :)

Cheers.
I do like maps for fantasy settings, one of my favourite things in many fantasy books.
Its been fun reading about Brindol and thinking exactly how many of these people and places Vitkin knows…
“Anything that can’t be disposed of with a couple of whacks from six feet of oak is probably immune to magic as well.”
Thanks for spotting that Lachlan.
Red Magic & Sundries should have been #7 (i have changed that).
The Watchers are not on the original map. It is a location i have added. The number is on my map and I will give players a map to add locations to as well :) But yes, it is across the way from Axenhaft Security - to the west.
