- 1. I'm not quite sure which spells form the basis of James "Bucky" Newson's gadgets.
- a. The radium pistol seems like Arcane Bolt but for the fact that Arcane Bolt is 1d4 damage rather than 2d6.
b. The Electro-sword seems to be based on Shocking Grasp, but it appears to add Shocking Grasp's 1d8 damage to a regular sword's 1d8 damage for a total of 2d8 damage. I didn't really see anything in the Gadgeteer section that said how modifying mundane weapons into gadgets works.
c. I have NO idea what the Perception Filter is based on.
3. Which Wealth mod is used for multiclassed characters? - a. The radium pistol seems like Arcane Bolt but for the fact that Arcane Bolt is 1d4 damage rather than 2d6.
Reverse-engineering pregenerated characters
Reverse-engineering pregenerated characters
I'm currently preparing to run a one-shot of Amazing Adventures for my group. I'd like to run The Heart of Yhtill and use the pregenerated characters from the Rogue's Gallery, but there's a small problem with that. The Heart of Yhtill is intended for 1st-level PCs, but the pregens are 5th-level. As such, I'm currently attempting to reverse-engineer those characters to be 1st level. However, in attempting to do so, I'm running into some problems:

I'll hit Jason up on Facebook and let him know you have questions.

Re: Reverse-engineering pregenerated characters
What would be cool is to have a set of pregens at multiple levels, say 1st and 3rd and 5th or some other similar level range where a person could use the same ones in various difficulty adventures.
I sort of did this once in 5E where I was asked to bring a fresh character pregenerated at 10th level. I started at 1st, saved the word doc, updated to 2nd, saved the word doc under a new name, and so on. When I was done I had one pre-gen at all levels 1-10. Dunno if it will ever be handy or not, but any time I need a character at any level I can just dust it off.
In the case of a party of pregens this would seem particularly useful.
