Desirea Darkedia – Level 2 Character Sheet, Equipment and Treasure

About: This is part of a collection of gaming notes left behind by my mother when she passed in 2020. Mom was an avid table-top role player, starting her adventures in the late 1970s and continued for as long as she could find a game. I’m slowly making my way through these papers and posting them as I uncover them.

Character Sheet

At level 2, Desirea is still a single class rogue, and not a rouge / wizard. So I’m going to be comparing this sheet to the screenshot from the browser.

Hit points show as 15, which is crossed out and hand written to 28. That seems excessive, but, ok. Her level 1 sheet had the same sort of note, so I’m not sure what that’s about. Her base bonus attack is now 1.

The characteristics are the same, but her ranged attack is now at a 5, up from 4. I assume that’s a modifier. The armor class is back to 14, and gold has gone down to 70.

Skills (changes from level 1)

  • Balance is now 9
  • Climb is now 4
  • Disable device 5
  • Escape artist 9
  • Gather information 4
  • Hide 10
  • Jump 2
  • Knowledge nature 4
  • Listen 5
  • Move silently 7
  • Open lock 9
  • Sleight of hand 8
  • Spot 4
  • Survival 4
  • tumble 8

Feats/Specials (changes from level 1)

  • Stealthy
  • Evasion

My thoughts…

It’s hard to say that these equipment and treasure lists belong specifically with this character sheet, but it makes the most sense, when seeing the other equipment sheets.

And who doesn’t need 2 flasks of troll’s blood?

Desirea Darkedia – Stapled character sheets from March 2017

About: This is part of a collection of gaming notes left behind by my mother when she passed in 2020. Mom was an avid table-top role player, starting her adventures in the late 1970s and continued for as long as she could find a game. I’m slowly making my way through these papers and posting them as I uncover them.

The character sheet here matches the printed character sheet from earlier, complete with the wizard multi-class. This could have been the original sheet, complete with notes showing 0 experience and a level 1 designation.

Additional Spells

  • Message — Trans — 0
  • Open/Close — Trans — 0
  • Arcane Mark — Univ — 0
  • Prestidigitation — Univ — 0
  • Detect Magic — Div — 0
  • Obscuring Mist — Conj — 1
  • Detect Secret doors — Div — 1
  • Magic Missile — Evoc — 1
  • Color Spray — Illus — 1

I can’t even begin to translate the skill points, weapons, and such from the additional pages stapled to the character sheet. I think those skills are well represented on the previous character sheets. Suffice it to say that this looks like a form from an application, complete with increment and decrement buttons. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

An item under Gear and Tools is noted as a Sunrod. That sounds near but it’s probably some standard sort of thing for the game system. Maybe it’s a time-keeping device. She did choose to carry a Flute, which is penciled in.

Separate gear list

Similar to the stapled gear list, is a loose skill list and gear list, also from the same print date of March 23, 2017. These look like duplicate bits, with the same hand written notes.

My thoughts…

I really can’t say that the print out date means that the character was born in March of 2017, but that’s the earliest age we can apply to its creation. It does look like Desirea started as a simple rogue and multi-classed at some point.

The real question is, when did she play the wizard multi-class or was it just a variant she was going to try? It’s a little hard to tell which massively long attribute listing goes with which version of the character, since she was printing out skill lists from whatever on-line character sheet.

Tallie Stonegem, Level 7

About: This is part of a collection of gaming notes left behind by my mother when she passed in 2020. Mom was an avid table-top role player, starting her adventures in the late 1970s and continued for as long as she could find a game. I’m slowly making my way through these papers and posting them as I uncover them.

From Level 6 to Level 7

Tallie gained 9 more hit points, landing at 67. Her initiative bumped up to +4 and her hit dice topped out at 7d10 and she boasts 23,000 experience points.Her last recorded bank shows 2,299 gold pieces.


My thoughts…

That about wraps it up for Tallie. I sort of wonder about the adventures she went on, because the equipment list didn’t change too much over the levels. Where are all of the magic items? The Ax of Returning sounded neat, but come on!

Tallie Stonegem, Level 6

About: This is part of a collection of gaming notes left behind by my mother when she passed in 2020. Mom was an avid table-top role player, starting her adventures in the late 1970s and continued for as long as she could find a game. I’m slowly making my way through these papers and posting them as I uncover them.

Moving up to Level 6

Tallie got a few bump ups over the levels. Her experience points are noted as 14,000. She now has an 18 strength, 14 dexterity, and 13 wisdom. All other stats remain the same, including that 8 charisma. Ouch. With the stat bumps, she increased some of her Saving Throws and Skill modifiers.

She’s now truly beefy, with 58 hit points and rockin’ 6d10 Hit Dice. She gets a +2 to initiative now, as well. Her Passive Wisdom bumped up to 14, too.

There are some handwritten notes on these sheets, which I always appreciate.

  • Hand Ax (2) Reg – +7 Hit 1d6+3
  • Battle Ax (1) Reg – +7 Hit 1d8+4
  • Potion of Healing – 4 1d10+4
  • Great Ax of Returning +3 – 1d12+6
  • Ax – +8 1d6+5
  • Saw
