Legendary Planet: To Worlds Unknown (Inactive)

Game Master Slyness

Zeroks - wouldn't I lose 2 to my hit and damage from the armor?

Your armor doesn't affect your damage in any way. That's based on the weapon's properties. If a weapon is finesse you add DEX or STR based on which is higher, otherwise just STR. That is independent of whatever armor you're wearing.

If you're referring to the Max. DEX Bonus of +2 on medium armor, that only applies to your AC calculation. It doesn't limit your attack, DEX ability checks or saves.

Now certain medium armor would give you disadvantage on stealth checks, but a breastplate specifically doesn't do that. So you can wear it and still be sneaky. It's only 7 pounds heavier than a studded leather.

If you kept raising your DEX than eventually you would be better off wearing studded leather than a breastplate. But for now the breastplate doesn't hurt you. It just lets you carry off a more expensive item out of the dungeon.

Yes, I will take the silvered battleaxe. I will also (if possible) carry all of the armor in a cloak or sack.

Half plate weighs 40 pounds while the 4 breastplates are 20 pounds each. That's a lot of weight. And some of us don't have the best STR scores. :-)

Are we sticking it out in the room for a long rest? None of my spells or healing abilities are replenished by a short rest. I'll move on if the rest of the group wants to but we may want to re-up my healing. Thoughts?

I think we should just stick to the short rest. It doesn't make much sense to take a long rest until we're somewhere safer. Especially since your buddy might get hangry if we stick around too long.

Thanks for the info Zeroks. I'm still learning the mechanics for DND 5E, came from Pathfinder. I will switch out the armor and give you my studded leather for now.

Where to next?

Just wanted to say that I won't be able to post for at least a few days because as I've mentioned before I live in Puerto Rico and we're about to get slammed by Hurricane Maria. It's currently a category 5, which is nuts. This has been a pretty crappy month. I'm probably going to be without water and electricty for a good long while.

That sucks. I hope everything turns out well. And thanks for the heads-up.

Stay safe Zeroks!

Ditto - stay safe. We will wait.

Well, I survived. I'm back at work. And at home I currently have neither water nor power, but considering everything else going on in Puerto Rico, I'm feeling lucky. My two air conditioners are probably damaged--I won't know for sure until electricity comes back, which could be a couple weeks or more. But aside from that we didn't get any flooding to our home or any major property loss. Like I said, we were very lucky.

I'll be getting back into my games slowly for the time being.

Glad you're okay. Living on high ground in a country where high winds will blow your fence over at most I can't even imagine what it's like for you over there.

I'm glad that you're relatively okay. Take your time.

Happy to hear you are safe and your home didn't flood. I know the island overall is in crisis. No water and electricity has to be rough. Heard a news report about how underwhelming the US's support has been. I wrote my congressmen telling them to do more to help. Wishing you all the best and so sorry you are going through this.

Thanks, Reishi, I really appreciate the letter.

Not sure about how the disaster is playing in the states since my only media is local radio and newspapers. But I can imagine that given all the other disasters, there might be some "disaster fatigue".

Hey guys. Think Zeroks is probably stuck off line because of the power issues and Damage in Puerto Rico. Shall we move forward and just bring his character along? Or do we want to just keep the game paused until he has returned? My guess is that he would like us to keep progressing. What are your thoughts? Meantime, I’m sending him lots of light! Can only imagine how hard it is post storm.

I am fine either way.

Happy to proceed.

Sorry, I generally can't post on the weekends due to power and connectivity. Although, my electricity did come back last night--my internet looks to be dead for a while though.

I looked at the last posts, and I thought we were all going to move together as one--which meant I thought that the DM needed to push us to the next section.

If you need me to make more checks though, just let me know, and I'll do so.

I see. My perspective was that you would tell me where you wanted to go next. If you just want to continue opening rooms in sequence, we can do that. And there didn't seem to be a decision made about going back to the room with the table that Zeroks already saw.

Miscommunication happens. I think opening the rooms in sequence *as a group* is probably the better idea for now. I'll roll investigation to search for traps on the next door.

Glad you are ok Zeroks. Lets all move forward :)

I am posting this to all my games (apologies if you see this multiple times):

I am going to be out of town for an work conference that I was asked to go on last minute. I will be out of town through Friday (the 27th). There will be internet a the hotel, but the schedule will be really hectic and I won't have a lot of time to post.

Please bot me if I am in your game, and if you are in my game, please note that I will probably not be making an update until Saturday at the earliest.

Apologies and thank you for your patience.

I know the website's been a bit wonky. I'll try to push things forward, though.

Zeroks, still with us?

Where did everyone go? Anyone want to resurrect our game and continue? I do :)

I'm still here.

Anyone around for a resurrection spell? Maybe we can breathe life back into this game...
