History: Mirado is a warrior seeking his fortune in the world. He has some pie-in-the-sky goals about ruling a kingdom, but otherwise he's pretty down-to-earth. He changes his title as fortune smiles or spits upon him, as he sees it. He's brave but not especially foolish.

Titles used: the Sharp, the Attractive, the Butcher, the Bloody, Ogre-Foe, Ogre-Slayer, the Merciful, Orc-Tricker, the Slow, Lizard-Friend, Beetle Battler, Gargoyle Friend, Blue Beaten, Music Critic, Giant Slayer.

  1. Looks like Mirado's first trip was pretty leet!

    Yeah, I'm done here. Keep 'em coming!

    1. It went pretty well, but I'm liking that sword and ogre head combo I picked up in the second session.

      Hey, you're in Nagasaki? I've been there only once, but it's a nice place. I'd like in Kyushu if I could. I have a friend in 日南 on the other coast.

  2. Are you stats considered obscenely high? I feel like no negatives is pretty awesome given the impression of OSR kind of thing. Or does S&W do point-buy / arrays / other than rolling for stats?

    1. They're not that high. You can see how I did it here: Rolling Up A S&W Character

    2. So you DID roll though. I'd say overall those are some pretty dang nice rolls! Neat that you can trade points around a bit, too.

    3. 4d6, drop the lowest, and trade scores 2:1. That's got a pretty decent expected value, I'd think.

      Let me do some math. It's what I do. :-)

    4. I've always liked the 4d6 drop lowest just because of the unexpected nature of it. The trading is a new twist though, and I can really dig it. It gives you a little more control than just trying to figure out what your dump stat is going to be.

      Looking forward to some math!

    6. OK, here we go. The mean and median doing it that way are both 12, but the most-frequently occurring value is 13 (the mode). A score of 8 is actually in the 10th percentile, meaning 90% of the scores will be 8 or higher. An "average" score of 10 is the 25th percentile, so 3 rolls in 4 will be 10 or higher.

      As such, you should probably expect to have no penalties, and the only question is how many scores of note will you get. Erik uses 13-15 as +1, 16-17 as +2, and 18 as +3. Presumably this is symmetric backwards, so 3 is -3, 4-5 is -2, and 6-7 is -1. If that's the case, on six rolls, you expect a net bonus total of about +3 or +4.

      So, net/net, only about 5-6% of scores will hit you with a penalty, and about 50% will give a bonus of one sort or another. 4d6 drop lowest is fairly generous.

    7. Math! Awesome. Now, of course, I feel even unluckier for getting total mods of +1 or lower and getting the re-roll.
