Dungeon Master Heathy's Carrion Crown

Game Master Heathansson

Great film!!! Also Unforgiven features Clint Eastwood as a former killer that is not really evil, o at least not longer evil when the film starts...

I may want to think about study under N'Kai - though spell combat with a 2 handed sword doesn't work real well... Actually on that note, where does Heathy come down on the Assassin = evil debate?

N´Kai would be delighted to take an apprentice. Ruleswise I don´t know if it makes sense for you, using the two-handed ECB. You might be able to deliver the spellstrike with your ECB provided you cast your spell in the previous round, but you´ll be missing some of the tactical flexibility the class allows. Your call, though.

As for me, I am growing fond of this class, never played one before but I kind of like it. Used to play a Bladesinger of Evereska in my 3.5 Forgotten Realms campaign, but this feels more... optimized (and fun as well).

I used to love the 2nd Ed bladesingers. I do see the Magus as a call back to that 'kit' though Gishes have been around for ever in one form or another.

There is a lot of flexibility in Magic. Short term I am riding the Slayer wagon but having additional options is never a bad thing and neither is looking down the road.

slayer looked nice.

loved The Professional.

i dont mind evil campaigns (i like them with a party that works together)

Slayer is going to be one of my preferred classes. A skilled martial with more flex and customisation than the ranger. Sign me up.

Amen to that

Never saw The Professional or Unforgiven. (Although I fully intend to watch any/every Clint Eastwood movie at least once) :)

I do seem to recall that there had been an 'official' ruling on spell combat w/ 2H weapons. As I recall it was allowed because releasing your grip on a 2H weapon with ONE hand to cast, and then re-gripping it were both considered free actions. Let me peruse my 'favorites' threads. I usually mark semi-interesting things like that. Unfortunately that means there are a lot to go through. :/

I only dislike evil campaigns when the players (not the PC's) use it as an excuse to be stupid. Or create murder and mayhem indiscriminately. :P
Even the most chaotic murderhobo will eventually realize that he cannot take out the entire city/town/fort/village/everyone he ever meets without facing a consequence. Namely getting ganged up on and gakked.

Oh, unless your Richard from Looking For Group. Then go right ahead.
:D

yes i believe i remember seeing the same ruling you did Ragadolf.

and RE: evil campaigns, yeah. as murder-hobo-ey as leik seems, i wouldn't play him in an evil game.

Huzzah

12 hr.s work today. tired.

Sleep

meh

Ok then... don't :)

Bot Alinya?

I kinda don't like botting the players.

oooooh close to a new level! (assuming medium progression)

Yeah; pretty sure it was medium prog.

Yep.

5th level it is.

(medium progression).

Medium it is...

I notice that, too!

You guys run off XP? Most games I'm in these days are level when the GM says.

Hell yeah. I'm old. At least half my life is over. At least.
I use that old exp jazz.

I'll count myself as being minimal XP for level 5 then and then throw the XP on top.

You new guys can level when the other guys do. I usually keep everybody leveling at the same exact time, because if not, somebody will always be leveling for a week.

:D Coolio

Yep. He's cool like that.

I think its to soothe his conscience for the stuff he's already planning on throwing at us when we do level! :)

Seriously, Heathy's got a twisted imagination. He should go find a healthy outlet for that thing before it explodes. Something like springing an invisible wizard on a bunch of already injured and waterlogged, Adventurers,... oh boy,.... ;P

What conscience?

See? It works like a charm! :)

I'll update stuff tomorrow. I can't do math right now.

All I can do is hate murderhobos.

Stop feeding them with gold and XP...

nnnoooooo never stop

Hell yeah. I'm old. At least half my life is over. At least.

I use that old exp jazz.

Old school is still the best!!

Good stuff. Thank you Mr. GM

All I can do is hate murderhobos.

But, but, but,... WHY?!?

We LUV you! With open arms!

(Ok, Our hands are holding weapons, but our ARMS are open!) :D

Wow. Sleep and things really move....

What's this group policy on treasure splitting?? , you know, more experienced as you are in killing things and taking their stuff ;D

Ok... where are the charm person spells?

Ok... where are the charm person spells?

I'm all for that, buddy. I guess we'll have to rest and the true spellcasters will have to prepare them, unless Edwin can pull some bardish detective trick on the guy

yeah i dont have spells. i have stabs

Yeh, sorry, wuz crazy busy yesterday with work , and with other RL issues today, :( So Ed missed out on his golden moment. Ah well, there's always next time. :)

And We're not done with this guy yet. Just have to deal with a few bozos high on liquid courage first. Ed should be able to talk circles around a few drunks.

EDIT- Yeah, SHOULD being the operative word.

Alright, WHO cursed my ELECTRONIC dice?!?! Weren't my RL dice enough for you??!?

If a I fight starts, N´Kai could definitevely use some healing before the crowd get to us...

so could Leik, although he is too far away and too busy being conflicted about setting a distraction fire.

Don't forget the father channelled energy on the dock - 9 hp

I reckon that Ed could sing you a lil 'feel better' song befoire things get,... hairy. :)

I'm hoping that (FINALLY) decent Dip roll might convince a couple of the followers to bugger off, and it won't be,... as,... bad.
:)

I am loving this mob encounter! Kudos on this. It's really giving Ustalav and the genre a voice.

I expect multiple contusions :)

Just remember - just because we CAN do something nasty, doesn't mean we SHOULD.

Leik is near an alley - you could draw off some of them by making a display and running down it. With your lead is there any insect ability allowing you to climb up walls? You could get on the roofs and hook up with us later.

How is the loud mouth in the mob armed ?

No climbing ability aside from a d20+0. And I dont feel lucky.

my best ability is all the alchemists fire the party let me have for some reason. From the chemyst lab. Bwahahahahahaha

How is the loud mouth in the mob armed ?

Still, some of them are filt with liquid courage to their gills, and one or two look like hard men.

A burly guy who has a chain shirt and a big stick says "Here, here; if I don't get laid and get in a fight, the evening ain't a total loss!"

Don't forget the father channelled energy on the dock - 9 hp

Took that into account, but I took some nasty morningstar hits during that fight, so I´m still 34/44 hp.

If you step forward to use your recalled Color Spray, You'll be within easy reach for Ed to sing you a band aid song.
