hello all just a dot here

Just a note to all and the GM...

yesterday and today are my busy days.

either face to face games or family time keep me away from the boards these nights


Female Human

Dot.

I sometimes won't be able to post on Saturday or Sunday.


Weekends are grey territory. There is no expectation of weekend posting. Nice if you can, but not needed if you cant.

I will have more time tomorrow for sure.

sorry about being so silent


Sure mate


Ok... So...

Everyone got their starting equipment, masterwork item and 2 healing potions? Bought any other starting equipment you want with your starting gold?


Female Human

What does a masterwork weapon do, again? Is it like PF masterwork, a +1 to attack?


+1 to damage ONLY.

With 5th Ed to hit damage bonuses are a big deal :)

Damage less so. Normally people don't have an issue hitting. The issue is normally doing enough damage.

starting to go through backgrounds looking to find a connection for us.

so far looks like only Astrid and Magnus have something to work with (besides me)

I will ponder this for a bit as I have some ideas floating around.


Sure - look the main thing is that you guys are not strangers, you know, like and respect each other


Shield feat house rule.

Hi all - I am changing the house rule from 1d6 damage to 1d4 damage.

If you took the feat update your characters. You can change your feat if you wish.

Dotting. Attempting to play my 8 wisdom, spoony nature, and chaotic good rougishness without being irritating about it. Let me know.

Also, if anyone has better ideas for an avatar for my character let me know.

Finally, GM, do you like the name I currently have ("Stayanoga") or would you prefer me to change it, since he currently goes by "Fairgrim Sionnodel" - as he's slightly distancing himself from his more publicly-recognizable family name (from respect for his family instead of shame). I'm trying not to hit the tenth post (hence the OOC posting right now) to avoid locking in the name, until you get back to me, GM. Basically, let me know what would work best for your story.

(Incidentally, elves would probably know quickly that he was not a Siannodel, just by appearance. Sure there are lots of families, but, uh... they don't look like his.)

I also wanted to mention that I know my character sheet is a bit of a mess - I'm working on it, when I have time and concentration. I don't think I've chosen a masterwork item yet - but otherwise I'm fairly set to go, I think. Let me know if I've made any glaring errors.

Incidentally: enchantment magic really, really, really sucks in this edition.
- "make them your friend until this ends in a minute: then they hate you forever!"
- "make them your friend for an hour - then they mistrust you forever!"

>:I

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck for a good guy who wants to be magical, charming, and actually make friends. No way to temporarily get a foot in the door in any reasonable capacity.

Pick whatever name he is using now

Hey, Astrid: how tall are you, roughly speaking? Do you have a height you've been thinking of? I wasn't able to find it.


1 person marked this as a favorite.
Female Human

I´d say about 5´6 to 5´9.


Male Agathion (Leonal) Gestalt Monk-Paladin (with bardic performance!); Mythic (dual): Archmage/Heirophant

Thanks: trying to figure which was taller. The more description I have the more nonsensical things he can say.

OK here is what I have so far:

Liam is the newest addition to the group. The others have been working together for a bit, and Liam took notice of Astrid one day at the marketplace in the cuty. he followed her around but never approached. she was always surrounded by others that looked rather intimidating.

one evening, Liam took shelter in an old warehouse. What he wasn't expecting was some other, not so legal, activities was going down.

Liam remained hidden and watched the whole thing go down. He couldn't recognize anyone, but it sounded like a a scuffle broke out in the end there were two bodies.

the criminals left and Liam slipped out of hiding to investigate.

He didn't get very far in his investigation when the warehouse caught fire.

probably no accident, in the heat of the flames, Liam noticed one of the bodies was still alive. He did his best to get him/her out but collapsed from the heat and smoke.

when he next opened his eyes he saw Astrid carrying him away from the burning building.

from that point on, when not being accused of starting the fire, Liam traveled with this group.

well this is a start... anyone wish to expand?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Sounds good. Develop it as you play. Tacticslion is throwing up back story as he RPs and others are joining in. Astrid has turned tea into a great segue into some good character choices.

Ok all - some great RP so far. Keep it up.

I'll push things along Monday

ok I never knew we had an open gameplay thread..

Off to see what I can screw up or see what of my ideas are now screwed up.

can you wait longer to move forward? so I can get involved a bit?

missed a bit and want to actually be a part of things.

maybe Wed or Thursday??


I can allow some RP for the next few days but a week is a long time to wait

And the charlatan emerges...


Male Agathion (Leonal) Gestalt Monk-Paladin (with bardic performance!); Mythic (dual): Archmage/Heirophant

For the record, for the GM's clarification (and insight of any NPCs), he was not attempting to get beer or booze on the road. He was only attempting clarification on that point.

Also, though it might be synonymous in this setting, Ale and Beer are technically different - beer being more generic, Ale being more specific. He wasn't clear if they were saying "generic beer of <insert kind here>" or "this particular kind of beer" that they were talking about.

Says the real-life teetoler who had to look it up for another character, recently.


Female Human

You all caught up in the NaNoWriMo season?


huh?


Hoping we can get some improvement in posting rate

Alas... I've never done it. If I could count internet posts, however...

NaNoWriMo is a thing that writers use to make themselves better. Effectively, you must do <X> words per day in order to achieve a total amount of <Y> by the end of a season. It's really cool... I've just always been too oblivious of when it starts, and too undisciplined in general.

We'll say you take a defensive position near the wagons.


Female Human

Is that everyone then?

If that's the case, you should probably post the response to our attacks.

Also, sleep for Magnus is a DC 13 Wisdom save, I believe.


No save for sleep now

Just for discussion purposes, there is no action economy in 5E. A bonus action can be an Attack. When you make an Attack roll, modifiers are applied to both attack and damage rolls as a general rule. The rules only state that this is not applicable when you make a two weapon attack. That is attacking twice within the same Attack action. When a solitary Attack is applied as a bonus action, like a Monk's unarmored attack, then modifiers are applied to both attack and damage rolls. This also applies to the second attack of PCs that receive such an attack at higher levels.

Having stated my position on this matter, in the event the DM sticks by his ruling, then I will change my feat to War Caster after this encounter.


War caster is fine.

Uh, did I kill a dwarf guard, or did I kill a bandit?

That... that changes my action by a significant margin.

Ooops. The bandit... or is it 'Guard'?... Mwhahahahahah *cough* *wheeze*

Defintely a bandity type.

How many bandits are left now?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

3 unconcious, one fleeing and the leader.


Apologies this battle is a little messy. I'll use roll twenty for the next few combats if they are large scale like this one.

Truth be told Magnus put these guys on the defensive closely followed by Astrid going all Xena on the other two archers.

Warning: going out of town on a sudden family emergency. My internet connection is not guaranyeed, and even if there is one, my typing is not. I may be active, or not. I'm sorry. We had no way to foresee this. Feel free to carry on.


Male Agathion (Leonal) Gestalt Monk-Paladin (with bardic performance!); Mythic (dual): Archmage/Heirophant

Fair grim by the way at.

Sorry about before: update - I'm still out of here, soon, but I popped in long enough to update since I could; also, I think Fairgrim might should have a scar of destiny.

It would help explain his sudden disappearance/quiet, anyway...

Wrong game system aside, it might not be a bad idea for all of us... as it really doesn't matter whether or not it's PF or 5E mechanics in the slightest...


Hi all - posting seems a bit slow from some players. Has this battle etc killed off interest in play?

I am hoping not.

nope..still interested....
