The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

Kevin is still there.(the squishy blue dragon)
Lim-Môr is there.(an elf with half black and white hair and wings.)
Tybs might be in. Haven't decided what to do with him yet.

Blindsense

Nothing in there suggests super hearing, merely the ability to "not need to make Perception checks to notice and locate creatures within range of its blindsense ability, provided that it has line of effect to that creature."

Just thought I'd throw that out. Now, if someone does have super hearing, that gives them blindsense, awesome.

I'm pretty sure with all our obscene Gestalt'ed skills though, hearing things a mile away is a moot point...

Though, every 10 feet is +1 to the roll, heh. That'd be quite a huge Perception roll DC. Maybe not!

Past 100 feet could be an issue, that's +10 to the hearing.

</nerd moment>

If we assumed that the whisperer did in fact, send a secret message, i.e. used Bluff -- then we're talking contested rolls!

See? game has a nice rule to follow. Nothing is automatic, typically.

</rant>

Except that this is rules fricking light, and so rolls and numbers weren't really needed since it is a cooperative narrative style of game.

Sorry. I am getting pretty tired of all the rules-lawyering in a game that is supposed to be light on rules.


Male Drow (noble) 14 Ranger

Well it depends. The framework is the framework. You can't go too light on that without breaking other things.
Specific class abilities and things are rules light sure, to help tailor concepts, there's bending of the rules there.
But there has to be an agreed framework of mechanics or this stuff will keep popping up.

Just my 2 cp.

I totally agree with you, Kryzbyn.

And Lurch, I too hate the ten or more pages of rules lawyering that crop up whenever people start in about their Arance Sight, Scent, or the constant gross skill roll totals discussions in the Game Play thread spilling over here. The effort to be Supermen in their perfection is stunning. Twinks, anyone?

In that, I'll agree with you, annoying to read.

Sadly, though, people don't read the framework, or worse, the blend of 3.0, 3.5, unbalanced nightmares of third party stuff (;p) and Pathfinder keeps trying to mash frameworks together.

Far too much testosterone going on too, with people eager to point out flaws and such, IMHO. Go for the throat, always!

I know I might quote rules, but my effort is to guide those I'm directing attention to, in an effort to help bring the frame work to one common one, for my sanity.

Ultimately though, it is rules light, and often times I'm reminding myself of "not important, ignore the rules as you know it, work with the story."

Sometimes though, I fail my Willsave and rant. I do attempt to label it though. Just ignore the posts, I know that's easy to do. Discussion thread and all.

See, you said Twinks and my mind just went "What do they have to do with Avalon?" then I realized you meant munchkin characters...

In MMO terms, a twink was a character in WoW that froze it's xp advancement at the top level for a certain tier of PvP, then wore the best gear possible, and had it's way with others in battlegrounds.

Later, it became the term used to describe any alt that wore the best gear for it's level, usually provided by a cap level character on the same account's gold.

Now, it simply means any character that maximizes any edge it can get for it's level (or concept in a ttrpg).

Thank you, in that case I made several dedicated probes/scanners.

He made 8 modified clockwork spies
Each of them are able to link with his mind
Each is given a cantrip or 1st lvl offensive spell
Each has detect magic and alchemy
One is made of mithril as per the "metal" modifying construct rules and has arcane sight instead of detect magic and inscribed with a shield rune

Only in a duel like Ace and David are in do I stick to the actual rules as close to possible.

Other than that, I find myself having to curb my instincts to argue or point out rules or mistakes.

I'm not a rules lawyer, but I do know them rather well, and often assist GMs I play under with rulings and such.

Yes, twink meant munchkin.

Have some! Sorry, perhaps my pbp lexicon is a bit dated/biased.

*grabs an Urban dictionary, seeing if twinks meant something else*

Sweet! So it made the journey from online to table top and beyond!

And where'd you get the value, if it is a value?

Got a neat idea for a water bender. Definitely need to bend at least two rules though...

LOL dead cyclops with buck teeth?

DB3, I planned on doing that with my metal/earth bender, to better show what was possible in the tv show.

Like how easy metal bending becomes by LoK?

I know my Metal Bending lycan is messing with the rules a bit.


Male Drow (noble) 14 Ranger

Legend of Korra? Yep!

With the amount of things built out of either stone or metal, I figure fighting him would be as fun as fighting jackie Chan in a warehouse full of ladders.

Completely not the alternate meaning. :) And the dictionary actually has the 'gamer' definition in it too. Funny. I love languages.

Hey ace, you gonna post? You were rather insistent on initative and I kinda expect posts given how insistent you've been (and if you have time to PM you got time to game :P)

I got the times 8 from lyn, a long time ago.

I was on the bus coming home from work while PMing you. I worked from 9am till 1pm, and just got home. I can sorta read along for games, but its really hard to post because they are cracking down on cell phone use on the floor.


I was told, and have said numerous times without correction that the sim rooms can run up to 12-1.
Most of those Lyn responded to, so I work under the assumption that 12-1 is correct.
:)


ZOMG.

12x compression or 8x?

That's a variation of 4x! What will we do?

Oh-- I know, 'rules light'. Fixed. :)


*raises hands*
Calm down, Dami. :P
I was just saying what I thought was correct.

Oh, no stress here, rabbit pic guy.

Just having fun in the spare cycles I have while reading up on the horrors of developing countries wrought by natural disasters and warfare... which technically is due to man, thus natural, kinda.

... though, if the mind were to wander, we could blame some(one/thing) else, I'm sure. Depends on beliefs. Hmmm... ah, too much thinking there.

Gibber.

Back to the reading!

The option in which he would use the spell involves ace being immobilized


And there off, Ace plays the Sunder Gambit of Dave's prized Robe,

Is it Broken?:

See

damaging-objects

and

robe-of-arcane-heritage

to work that out.

Wile Dave try's to ice popsicle Ace.
Looks like we have a real fight on our hands.

@Dave:

Sorry Dave I have to ask, I just spotted you have three key personal magic items.

1: robe of arcane heritage

2: ring of spell-storing and force fangs

3: A magic space ship.

I think the limit is two.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Completely Broken.

You can still roll a one.

Also, your robe is done.
-2 to dc, -4d6 to damage on your breath weapon.

If the item does not fit into any of these categories, the broken condition has no effect on its use. Items with the broken condition, regardless of type, are worth 75% of their normal value. If the item is magical, it can only be repaired with a mending or make whole spell cast by a character with a caster level equal to or higher than the item's. Items lose the broken condition if the spell restores the object to half its original hit points or higher. Non-magical items can be repaired in a similar fashion, or through the Craft skill used to create it. Generally speaking, this requires a DC 20 Craft check and 1 hour of work per point of damage to be repaired. Most craftsmen charge one-tenth the item's total cost to repair such damage (more if the item is badly damaged or ruined).
Excerpt from the broken condition descriptor
Still works just fine


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

No.

If it takes all a items hit points, sunder can destroy an item entirely, unless they don't want to.

If your attack is successful, you deal damage to the item normally. Damage that exceeds the object's Hardness is subtracted from its hit points. If an object has equal to or less than half its total hit points remaining, it gains the broken condition. If the damage you deal would reduce the object to less than 0 hit points, you can choose to destroy it. If you do not choose to destroy it, the object is left with only 1 hit point and the broken condition.


Unless I'm misreading, the robe has a HP of 1-2, and a hardness of zero. (Given that it's made of Cloth, which has a hardness of 0 and 2hp/inch)

Objects reduced to 0 HP are destroyed, not merely broken.


I think that Sunder destroyed your magic item.

Could be wrong, doubt it, but it's gone by my accounting.

And, apparently, I'm not alone in my thoughts.
