    total cost = 47GP 4 SP 3CP
    Change = 2 GP 5 SP 7 CP

    The character sheet PDF I got using the generator posted by Fourier gave me:
    CP: 1500
    SP: 80
    EP: 9
    GP: 56
    PP: 3

    What number should I have been working from?

    I think Fourier said we'd have 50 GP to start things off.

    We start with an empty inventory and unarmed and unprepared. We need to buy everything we need from those 50 GP.

    I can't see any weapon holsters or the like in the item list. Does this mean i have to keep my darts,sling and dagger in my backpack?

    Arrows come in a quiver. Think it's fair to assume your darts are in a bitchin' bandolier!

    On javelins, I had hoped to do the same with a sling but it takes a whole round to switch out. In movement terms though that's forever. I don't know if you can throw one far enough and switch in the time to be ready

    what do you mean by switch out.
    when an encounter happens, a range die is thrown, 2d6x10, is this not figured into our battles? if they start out far away, would they not have to close in to us to start battling? if it is, then we could throw a volley when they are out of close encounter range and when they get in closer we attack with long sword. if range has no effect, then yes, the javelins would be a waste of time.

    if they start 100 feet away from us, we can back away at 60 feet per round without combat penalty, they could close in at 120 feet but would give up their attack in order to do so, if they want to attack, they could only close in at 60 feet per turn, so we can keep them out of close range by backing away and using ranged weapons unless they committed to catching us by giving up their attack, so we would then have ability to attck them then at close quarters first. maybe i am taking this up wrong but the combat example given in the rules does not give a ranged example, only a close quarters example.

    You've done this before! Bagsy being on your team!

    I may drop my rope so, buy a grappling hook to stick on the end of yours and throw a few javelins in my satchel.

    Can people see if they can sign up to Rollz.org, just use your boards name and then join the chat room:
    Boards.ie D&D

    Whenever I ask for a roll just write a quick description first, so I know what situation it related to, thanks.

    Banjo I genuinely wouldn't worry, any time you're absent or have a busy day you're character can just be quite etc

    By the way there are styles to this. Some prefer less posts which are longer, others prefer quick short posts in plenty. Think of it as reflecting how chatty the characters are.
