Regardin' magic enchantments: No. Magic is priceless in Caithness, and every Energy Point used to make an enchantment costs exactly $45. A fixed price. Some mages might even lower it to $40.

Regarding Basic Speed? It's on 6. Your BM is on 9. Not sure if it will be of much use, but if you think it'll be of use, keep it.

Consider taking two layers. Three if you really cannot see any other option. But yes, two is some kind of a standard. Plus, it's gonna be summertime in Caithness, so dressing up too much will kill ya.

The thing is you don't get penalized for layering on the skull, cloth caps don't weigh anything and only go on the skull... but alright then, will change to three layers.
And high basic move is the standard jerk tactic of being an archer, being faster and then peppering the opposition to death. And you can never have too much running awayness.

Fiddled with the reputation value. I note that its full fledged value is a GM call so you'll need to be okay with orcs being considered a large class of people. (I mean they do have there own land right?) Right now I just need to spend the last bit of money, and do the more "fluffy" things, (weight, height ect.) And I need to make sure all the points are adding up right...

Backstory

Spoiler:  

Ezreal was born in Simonton. As when he was 13 he managed to convince an elf living in town to help train him with the bow. She was nice enough to give Ezreal a few lessons and when she saw how talented he was decided it was worth while to keep training him, despite Ezreal not actually having any way of paying her. At 16 Ezreal decided that being an "expert" with the bow he could go fight orcs no problem, it would bring him glory money ect. ect. So he headed Northwest found a few similarly stuipid people, and went adventuring in the Orclands. Okay, so it wasn't his brighest moment, but they did run into a band of orcs.
The group followed them, while Ezreal harried the Orcs. After a day of shooting at the orcs and trying not to get caught Ezreal and his compainions were victorious. They headed back, sold the orcish equipment and supplies (some of it was magical), his friends wasted their money. Ezreal spent most of it getting a wizard to turn his hair blue, and then sending the orcs messages telling them exactly who killed those orcs, and how to recognize Ezreal so they would be afraid of him. (In retrospect probably not a smart idea.)
The group went there seperate ways, the others heading back into the Orclands, probably dieing a painful death, Ezreal heading back home with some extra money. There he paid the a herbilist to take him on as an apprentice, were he learned both herb lore, but a bunch of things about the wild. Now he is working for the Lord of Simonton as a ranger patroling the border and the Forest to the south, when he's not doing that he's looking through the forest for herbs, or generic treasure, or practicing his bow, sword, or herb lore.

Working on character now. Did you say we could use Low Tech?

Oh my, I guess I just started an avalanche. xD

Well, no one is actually blocking you from using it but I don't really see the need.

Let's put it this way: 70% of the time you will be dimplomats, simply talking and discussing your next move and the problem set upon you. 10% of the time you will be in big battles. Yes, in those battles, you'll be provided with zoom-ins, where a bit of individual combat will be shown. The remaining 20% would be espionage, scouting and other miscellaneous missions.

As I've said, the biggest focus here is on fighting as an army, not the hand-to-hand combat.

Yes, you may use Low-Tech and modify your gear but I don't see the point of going into that much detail. What I want detailed as much as possible, though, are your backstories.

Well if we are being Charged by the Lord to fight would it be ok to assume he will supply use with equipment. I am just looking at buying equipment. If we don't need to worry about that and can take a "Reasonable" amount of equipment for our PC's to fight a war then I am fine with that...if we have to purchase then I have to worry about what I can buy.

[Lamech]

That character sheet should be finalized unless someone comes up with a reason to change it; except for a few bits of minor equipment. Can I just assume a few days of rations, a couple quivers and a basic set of clothes and traveling bags costs say... 95$?

All right, whether you'll be charged by Lord Walton of Simonton depends on what happens IC. There is a good reason why I keep pushing on that a lot of details is not necessary and it could simply kill the game. Once you receive the opening PM and the game starts, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Okay, let's. Once again, as I've said in many previous posts, don't worry too much about nitty-gritty details. You sound like Lord Walton himself.
