The Gamers Arms

Gamrolin's death by zombie was the best bit. It really added to the drama!

Right, I'll be at 12 toughness if I take the items from the quest that are left over, so the +1 toughness amulet is yours Angron.

Just need the damage stats for the quest sword and I can upload my last character sheet. Also, is it possible to sell excess weapons or do you just discard them? I'm carrying 4 at the minute and need to lose my old axe.

The sword of Dragomir (WS+1, ST+1) is slightly wasted on Bellis, since you already have 12 Weapon skill. You'd only be getting half its benefit.

But if you were to use it for your character, your damage dice would go up from 3 to 4 because of the extra strength. Your hit roll table remains the same because you're already maxed out.

To be honest, with your extreme weapons skill and toughness now, I'd view you as more of a defensive tank - there to burst into rooms and take all the hits at the front (even if a monster did get a hit, they would need 12's to wound you), so you perhaps wouldn't need this magical sword. A different fighter - with higher starting strength - who joined the group would perhaps make more use of it.

EDIT: And typically, old weapons can be sold for half their purchase value (rounded up).

Yeah, I just found the item and stat tables in the rules and realised that. Well, if anyone else joins and wants to be melee but rolls poor skill stats then we could always do a trade. My plan for now was to be super tanky, use the new sword and also buff my strength twice in town so that I could tank stuff and would also get 6 damage dice on all my attacks.

I'm afraid you can only train 1 characteristic point between expeditions, so you'd only get 1 extra this time round.

Bummer, well I'll keep the sword for sure then. I've got a spare magic halberd for any newcomer melee people. The tank needs his sword and shield!

Here's my final sheet for this game prior to spending any gold (I've sold my axe though just so I don't forget as the next game may not be for a while).
