Jag Fairchild Delvers to Go
I printed out Jag Fairchild just now for a player and read it for the first time. In the design notes it says that 3 Quirks were sold back for more starting cash. But it seems to still show 5 in the character information:
Equal opportunity lecher -1 Lies for innocent fun - not compulsively -1 Loves to spread rumors of his awesomeness -1 Prefers spells for stealth an observation, song of command to affect minds -1 Sneaks whether it’s necessary or not -1 Is there something in the character I missed that gives him the quirks. Also wouldn’t one have been used for his Power Item?

$1000 normal starting cash +$1000 for comfortable wealth +$1500 for selling points = $3500 The same note box says what he spends the points on from the other two quirks (fast-draw (knife) and signature gear) All characters get up to 5 quirks.

Re: Jag Fairchild Delvers to Go
Quirks don't "go away" if you use them for extra money. The way it works is like this:
Power items have nothing to do with quirks. Everybody who can cast spells gets a power item "for free." It's generally just the most expensive piece of gear the character owns, in Jag's case his shortsword, but it can be any article the player likes. It's common to save one of the points that quirks generate to "insure" one's power item with Signature Gear [1], but that's optional.

Note that that unless something has changed, if you are using GCA to check if the totals are correct the software does this incorrectly and counts points spent on money towards your total.

Re: Jag Fairchild Delvers to Go
Another question regarding a character in Delvers to Go.
The quarterstaff that "Uncle Seamus" has. Can you please explain how you arrived at the total value? Adventurers pg 118 has the price for a wizard staff at $40, a quarter staff is listed to be $10. Making an weapon fine adds a CF of +2 but when you find the total value of a item that is made fine it would be (1+2CF)x10. for a regular quarterstaff which is only $30; the wizard staff at fine would be (1+2)x40 which is 120. So I'm confused as how it became $60. Also where did you get the value of the crystal ball that's shown as $475? This may seem petty but it's bothering the heck out of me that I cannot figure out the silly math.

Re: Jag Fairchild Delvers to Go
A wizard staff is a staff (costs whatever a staff costs) plus a $30 enchantment, so he's paying $30 for a fine staff, and $30 for a staff enchantment, for a total of $60.

Well that makes sense. Thanks. Now is the rest of the cost something they arbitrarily decided or is there somewhere in the books a way to calculate the value of jewelry, etc that is attached? I want to know where they got the 475 figure from so I can understand how they say it has 6FP

Re: Jag Fairchild Delvers to Go
Adorned power items are 100% legit. To understand them, remember three things, all stated clearly in Power Items (Adventurers, p. 115):
