Setting up Character Logs

An important aspect to getting your character ready for play within Cormyr is ensuring your character sheet is ready for you to record the information you'll need to keep track of your character's advancement. Since Cormyr uses a simple point system that drives character experience and wealth at the same time, this is the only significant log of note which is needed to track character advancement in both respects. However, each character will also make a number of transactions along their journey to glory -- whether they be weapon purchases, bar tabs, or tailoring tickets, these all need to be logged as well to make sure that the correct gold is being spent to remain in line with the rest of the community. Therefore, two logs shall be detailed here:

Point Log:

In the point log it's important to denote any time a point is awarded to your character. As explained in the Experience and Loot page (https://cormyr.fandom.com/wiki/Experience_and_Loot) one point signifies a step forward for both character experience and wealth. Points will most commonly be awarded for running encounters, but may additionally be awarded by a GM for a number of other reasons.

The Point Log should be added to your character sheet under the equipment section (this is, unfortunately, the most robust and easy-to-read place to put it). Under the 'Equip' tab on your character sheet, scroll down to where you would normally add pieces of new equipment such as weapons or armor, and add an item named "Point Log". You do not need any other attributes.

The encounters you run or other sources of points you earn will be associated with ERs -- Encounter Records -- which will have a unique numerical identifier. Clearly denote in your point log the number of points received from each ER, the gold value of the points earned (keeping in mind the proper way to calculate that value per the Experience and Loot page), the unique ER identifier, the date, and the participant type using the following format:" -  -  - - "For example:"1 pt - 250 gp - ER-15061514 - 6/15/15 - Player"All gold value of points should be reflected in the gold total on your character sheet after being logged.

Transaction Log:

All meaningful transactions your character performs should be tracked. Do not bother writing down transactions such as purchasing an ale for 1 cp, but purchases of actual items for use one adventures or any purchase that is non-ephemeral in nature should be tracked. Use your best judgement; sheets are routinely audited and the GMs will take note if you're found to be in violation. As stated in the rules: when in doubt, write it down.

The Transaction Log should be created in the same way as the Point Log on your character sheet.

The concept behind this log is much simpler. When making a meaningful transaction, write it down. As an example:"Bought Belt of Giant's Strength + 2 - 4000 GP""Bought Healer's Kit - 50 GP""Bought Ring of Protection +1 - 2000 GP""Sold Chain Shirt - 50 GP"All transaction amounts should be reflected in the gold total on your character sheet after being logged.
