Sorry for the absence guys. Work for NY cable phone, internet company, dealing with a queue of 50,00 emails, 2 hr waits for chat support, 800+ phone calls with insane overtime while hunting gas.

And now bracing for a Noreaster.

If any of you knew me in real life you would laugh at the irony of this, but real life comes first. Take care of yourself Lumen, the game will still be here when you come back.


I understand work first gaming later we will be here still when your overwhelming phone clutter ends. Take care of what you need to hope you keep finding gas.

Yeah take care down there....can't be a fun time for you folks.


Ditto


I'm home from LA.


Glad to hear rest up.


In regards to Beauregard's trap searching...how long is it to search each five foor grid? My assumption is at at least one round per square (which six seconds is way cursory in time to examine for a deadly trap...no where near enough time in my opinion), means we are all standing there for over a minute and a half...minimum. I guarantee Korihor would get impatient and just move on.

Granted, I am not a player, or DM, that deals with too many traps...I've found I get uber super ridiculously cautious and suspicious characters that crawl through an area...I like it more cinematic...moving quickly through the dungeon, and even running or pursueing...rarely stopping to search for traps. It focuses more on the story, rather than the possibility that a knife might fly from the wall.

That's my style...which I recognize is not necessarily what we are doing here. How would you like me to play it...cause Korihor is gonna walk into the next room long before it gets checked for traps...in this room, and likely most others we come by.

Thoughts?


Korihor yes your right it is a full round to search for traps in a 5ft by 5ft square. I understand where your coming from and your style of play. Beaurgard is cuatious due to not being prepared properly when entering. And I didnt expect so many checks as well. I am trying to move the game along at the pace we started at. We haved slowed over all, hope that everyone posts so we can move past our empasse.

Beauregard is also cautious because he (or rather his player) has read a number of accounts of people like SWAT members & military 'tunnel rat' types, & prepared or not, in unknown hostile environments, you do meticulously check every square foot for that potential danger because when you don't somebody dies. Very often the way the opposing forces manage to hit you with a trap is by forcing you to act without taking the necessary, if boring precautions.

I'm cool with putting those checks in a spoiler if it will move things along, just realize that Beauregard will get...
snippy,
if people ignore his safety precautions.

Also remember, you can "take 10" on these checks.

I am not sure if that would help in these situations, but in general that's how we handle such encounters at my tables.

And I'm usually the rogue/trap-finder, so I feel ya, Beau!


Take 10 behind a spoiler is what makes sense to me. I'm totally fine with either. And I would expect your character to get snippy, Beauregard, Just like mine gets impatient. That's what makes their character dynamics so intriguing.


male human Fighter 3/Urban Ranger 1 (HP 45/55 -- action points 6/7 - perception +8)

I don't mind being cautious - we have been warned after all (and that skulk we fought at the locksmith was a tough one as well & there are probably more down here)

Perhaps keep the dice rolls for the more suspicious places (near/at doors etc) and have a general "take 10" for the other spaces?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Ok this is what we will do, as Zevon suggested take 10 in large areas unless I say other wise. Regular search checks 10 ft near doors, windows,dais etc... houseruled. This work for everyone??


Halfling Rogue 3/Sorcerer 1 30/39 HP, AC 16/t14/ff14, F 4, R 6, W 6, Init +3, Listen +10, Spot +3

I am amenable.


:)


very good


I know you get tired of this, but I believe in always letting you guys know...I'll be heading to LA two weeks from today. We're hoping to finish some major contracts, and talk with the production house that did 300.

But our major thing is for a film premier at the Grauman's Chinese theater for the film Sushi Girl, starring our friend Mark Hamill...and I get to take my wife on this trip. :) Very excited. Don't know how long the stay will be for, but for now it's two nights.


cool I apperciate the heads up. Who says work can not be fun.


Male Goblin Wizard 1 HP:17 /17 AC:16 F+4 R+6 W +5 Perception:+3

Nice. Have fun!


Halfling Rogue 3/Sorcerer 1 30/39 HP, AC 16/t14/ff14, F 4, R 6, W 6, Init +3, Listen +10, Spot +3

Whoa, you're friends with Mark Hamill?!?!

Sweet!!!

I wanted to be Luke Skywalker like you wouldn't believe when I was a kid...

Okay, geek moment over

Honest

Really

Seriously though, as Shadowwalker & Daxur said, have fun!


Yeah, hazard of the profession, lol. He starred in sushi girl, the movie that is premiering. Go check out it's trailer on YouTube and like it on Facebook. :)

I'm working extra shifts this week & I have family in town, so I will likely not be able to check more than once a day or so until next weekend at the earliest.

I am back from out-of-town. Wasn't expecting to be out-of-town for the holiday but I'm back & able to post again for most of the rest of the year.

glad your back catch up when you can and hope you had a blast


I'm flying out to LA this morning for the premier tonight. (Tuesday). I'm keeping this trip to one night, as we may have to fly to Chicago, Boston and NY in the next 14 days. Hopefully. Mwahaha.

I'll give Mark a big kiss for ya, Beauregard, lol. He's not even the big star there, he's just the one that most people...especially here...recognize, lol. And he's a total geek at heart. :)

Unfortunately my wife can't join me on this trip as hoped. Le sigh.

I should be able to post via iPad and phone, and it's only 48 hours, so I'll only potentially miss...about 36 posts, knowing you guys, lol.


Have a safe trip and enjoy it,sorry to hear that your other half cant go. Are we not all geeks at heart? lol Post when you can, and "Let the force be with you." Had to throw that in.


Been deathly sick. Bot me.

i can put you in a coma state until your feeling up to join in again. absorbing vile and the advancement of your mark battle within you that stresses your body and throws you in to a stasis


I feel much better this morning, finally. We'll see how the day goes. How do you wish to proceed, Shadowwalker?

well got you in a state magical coma, to get you is fairly easy like getting over the flu. You can act normally waking up, then a few physical changes.

crunch:
gain 1 feat and 4 skill points mark advancement


Shadowwalker:
I'll take Improved counterspell and +4 to Knowledge (dungeoneering).

#3,Lumen,Beaurgard,Zevon and Daxur for your concern over a comrade your reward is 1 feat and 4 skill points

I have seen many in my other games finish an encounter before a comrade health and safety

Trying to decide between Lightning Reflexes, Investigate or Investigator...
Suggestions?
Likewise trying to decide between all the points into UMD, or at least one each into the Knowledge skills I don't have...

investigate gives the ability to find clues on your search ckecks

I'll take that as a suggestion. Given I was planning on taking it as my 3rd level Feat anyway, sounds like I have a winner. Likewise with the UMD. Particularly as we still don't really have a healer...

edit: done

bonus feat: Investigate
bonus skills 4 ranks UMD
