DEsperado!? That ain't stupid!

I'm seriously loving this idea. :)He (now) also carries a pair of pistols and is rather light on magical knowledge, or power , but a more than decent shot, loads of charm and panache, daft hand with a blade
Tagline: "in the words of the imortal bard all the world's a stage"
thanks :D
Originally it was just one of those ideas that you just gotta get it out of your head, it's developed a bit since then
Wow lots happened, let me know if I missed something.
Hey Lyn, I was thinking of progressing Vickory by slowly retraining the rogue levels into sorcerer levels. I am making a black blood sorcerer bloodline I'd like to use (though obviously some things will be overlapping but oh well) if this is alright I'll send you the bloodline to look over before using it.
ok is Iolth one of those that has so much power that he can destroy the world by accident if he sneezes or something?
Iolth, by your description it sounds like you're trying to engage David into a scene, but he's currently in another scene, which is occuring in an isolated detention room. Did you want me to have someone engage your character in the hallways?
Also Lyn, I included some silly in both Rena and Ardiente's last post for you. As per your request to bring some humour back ^_^
Yeah, thanks Drake!
And, pretty much, yes Eddy. I'll stat him out later, but when Iolth uses more than 13 blasts in a row, he has to make a save or else he turns into a Level 20/MR 10 monstrosity that's in the GM's control. That's the equivalent of 50 levels of raw power.
So, he tries to use restraint, and evades potentially prolonged fights
And, oh yeah, when Iolth becomes raw DOOM, he has the tendency to tear the fabric of reality and end up somewhere else... Explaining why he's on Agartha.
ahhhh thanks....ok why am I here again...
can we please start to tone down power levels a bit please. other wise I think I am going to start to request to modify my characters some (actually alot)
Three things:
1) We don't currently, and very likely will never, use Mythic Ranks or rules. Did you pass that by Lyn?(I seem to recall that coming up in the discussion thread as well).
2) Yea, that uber level of power seems unnecessary imo.
3) FCD, you're f'd up man, with that last post tween Rena and Vai, but it was hilarious.
I would like to point out that relative power levels matter very little at Avalon - and they certainly don't make other characters useless simply by existing.
MG is right though - Mythic isn't really suited to this game - we use the Epic rules from 3.0, simply because they're just the right amount of ridiculousness for this game. :)
(Plus, after having read over the Mythic rules... I really have to say that I don't think they fit well with this game anyway, as good as they are.)
Btw, saw Maleficent tonight with my older bro.
So many ideas....
Alright, can you give me a link to Epic rules so I can stat out Iolth, the Hors-crap, I almost gave something away!
;)
Is it just me, or does Krays seem more Good than Neutral?
Sleep time for me.

Because I'm basically playing the stereotypical anti social goth girl who sees no point in filling the silence with what she feels is "useless, idle chatter"?
Also, nobody really paid her any attention the last time she spoke up, despite being on a packed skimmer. So she learned her lesson and is going back to what she considers blessed silence.

its just you.
I also feel this, but then neutral people often act nice because it benifits them to be nice and have others be nice in return.

Just wait until he starts sucking out people's souls to be trapped in torment until he uses them for his own nefarious purposes.
Lol that's already happened twice.
Lol that's already happened twice.
Three times I thought? (The Corruptor, Chan and Aegythrax)
Though, I figured Iolth was reading through the backlogs
I lost count...
Also, heh...
Rewatching Heaven's Lost Property (it's an ecchi anime with a high level of ridiculousness) makes me realize where I may have gotten some inspiration for Rena's physical form. (Google it yourself if you want, but be warned anything linked to that anime will probably be NSFW-ish).
Anyway, Jess, regarding your earlier questions about Angeloid NPCs - it would be pretty easy to make them Angels with the Half-Construct properties from the Advanced Race Guide, or make them Lifespark constructs of some sort, with some Spell-likes thrown in. That should get you the feel you're looking for.
Of course, if they're going to be as powerful as Ikaros from the anime, your characters will likely begin to feel overshadowed by her - it's important to let NPCs play a supporting role, and not be the 'heroes' of the story. At least, in my opinion.

Methinks he was referring to Rena's....'weighty issues'. But I could be wrong... :)

You could be a summoner/either ageis (ectoplasmic artisan) or dread (nightmare constructor) and apply them both to the same creature,
Maybe your spellcasting comes from that reality altering card thingOr maybe you could have such a creature, with a few buffs, like being a single classed he blade or oracle or wizard or something and bind yourself to someone's existing PC!
Fei should probably read all of these. Not all are completely work safe.
(o_O)
And now everybody's wondering why I'm laughing to the point of tears... ;D

I'm standing respectfully behind our guide, all proper like
Ah hahaha. That response from Fei was classic. Can't get a word in edgewise can he? :D
I encourage you "silent" Firebirds to post your silent stances, it'd help demonstrate your PCs personalities, while allowing story progression.
Vacuum and all that.
I mean unless you'd rather post about it here when asked. That's fine too, I guess.
</stops encouraging>

I worried over that post for many moments trying to get that to feel right.
Monkin' ain't easy, neh? ;D

Much appreciated. I especially love how the Rena scene went spiraling out of control. :D

MG is right though - Mythic isn't really suited to this game - we use the Epic rules from 3.0, simply because they're just the right amount of ridiculousness for this game. :)
(Plus, after having read over the Mythic rules... I really have to say that I don't think they fit well with this game anyway, as good as they are.)
Yes, this. Mythic would require rebuilding the whole dang game. Not happening.
Also, I didn't actually approve this change to Iolth yet that I recall. That said, there is precedent (Nasima/Khoda), and I am inclined to allow it since he's already said that he's playing at normal power level most of the time and will temporarily hand the character over to the GM when this out of control thing happens. That said, Iolth, no need to bother statting in that case. He runs on plot power and his CR is whatever we need it to be to make it cool. Don't worry about the numbers.
Or did it?!
I mean, come one, Fei loses his calm and things start 'shaking'. ;)

Tell me more...

Descriptive posts! Outward actions (walking along, hands in pockets, shoulders slumped, etc), inner monologue (this is so lame, why would I want to talk to these people), and so on. Just because you're not talkng doesn't mean you're not in the scene. So set the scene!
Edit: This is a general admonition, not aimed at just one person.

Oh, I am so glad I wasn't trying to take a drink when I read this. :)
David, come to the Dark Side, we have cookies.
Also, we villains get awesome capes, and badass names, like Magneto, Apocalypse and Mr Sinister.
I already have an awesome cape, and I think my name is good enough
