I deleted my post as I didn't realize Runecat mentioned the stairs were blocked. Sorry for the mistake!

Here's a random group-bonding-conversation-starter-thingy!
Who do you "hear" as the voice actors when you imagine the characters of our game?
For instance, I imagine Brodert Quink to sound like the late Douglas Seale, most famous for voicing the Sultan in Disney's Aladdin, and in my mind Nicat is voiced by Michael J. Fox! And Conner is Clint Eastwood, since all of his player's characters are Clint Eastwood. :P

In my mind the characters each get a voice, which can be low or high or whatever else, but I don't "hear" anyone specific as the characters' voice actors.

Is everything all set for Eostre's level-up? Please let me know if there's something I missed. :)
Everything looks to be in order, Eostre. :)

I'll have to think on the voice question - I don't really imagine particular actor's voices for my characters either, but it'll be interesting to ponder. I am a little surprised by Michael J. Fox, but it's not a total mis-fit.
As to leveling - are we still doing a choice of best of two rolls or average? If so, here are some rolls:
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Tough choice, but I think I'll take the second one...

Dragoncat - I'm messing around with leveling up, and I have a question. I'm pondering the viability of Nicat as a ranged combatant, since that's how I first started him, which is why he's got Point Blank Shot. I've been having fun with him in melee, and archery may be a bit feat-dependent to work well. What is your view on retraining a feat in this game?
On the subject of HP:
My Recruitment Post wrote: Hit Points: Max at 1st level, then you can either take the best of 2 rolls or your average on level up. And as to retraining feats, I'm going to say I'll allow it in accordance with the rules on retraining.

And would I retrain it before I go to 3rd level, or after? I'm guessing since we're now third level and I have not yet done it, that I know the answer...
You'll be able to retrain after you go to 3rd level--this is mainly because nobody brought the issue up until now.

I thought all my characters were Batman?
Anyway, I kind of imagined Nicat sounding like a less-insane Cicero.

I don't really know the games, but I'm guessing you don't mean the Roman statesman. I've just listened to him here, and it's not a bad fit. I'd say Nicat is more goofy than creepy, and sounds more like he's simply not paying attention rather than sounding insane.

Batman played by Clint Eastwood. :P

I think for Nicat I hear Billy West (The guy who does Phillip J Fry and others for Futurama)
Eostre sounds likes some versions of Lucy Van Pelt from Peanuts to me but perhaps that's because I can see her calling Nicat a blockhead

I'm done leveling! My channels now heal 2d6 damage and I have some new abilities you may want to be aware of. Especially the first.
I'll link myself to Conner, Ekan and Nicat for now. Next level I'll be able to include Eostre as well, just in case something sneaks up to her to assault her!

This is part of why I like martials, leveling takes like 30 seconds.

I didn't have a lot of time to spend till yesterday, when I leveled Evelyn up in about 10 minutes. I usually don't take very long for any character, because I plan things out ahead of time :)

Ekan Waterfield wrote: I think for Nicat I hear Billy West (The guy who does Phillip J Fry and others for Futurama) This made me and my son laugh out loud. I think I may have to go with this one - though I'm holding out some hope that Nicat is just oblivious, rather than actually stupid.
Even when I plan my builds ahead, I spend forever leveling up. This time I thought I had it all sorted out, planning to pick up a halfling sling staff, but then realized I need Exotic Weapon Proficiency to use it. So I'm still sorting out whether a ranged bard is a viable option or if I should plan on him being in melee more.
Wait--don't halflings treat weapons with 'halfling' in their name as martial weapons?

Sadly bards aren't proficient with martial weapons. He'd still need Martial Weapon Proficiency, instead of exotic weapon proficiency.
My apologies for not posting for a while now--I'm working on completing an honours thesis, and it's taking up most of my time. My posting here will be on a bit of a hiatus until I come back.
I'm back!
Sorry I didn't come back sooner--I've sent my thesis off to be edited before I officially submit it, and I ended up slacking off afterwards. I'll get us moving along again in the morning.
No worries! Glad to have you back! :)
Expect an update from me tonight--got some work to do in the meantime.
Apologies once again for the lack of posts--I'm working on finalizing my honours thesis, and it's been taking up my time.
You can expect an update by Saturday.

Hey, I've been there. Finalize that thesis FOR JUSTICE!
Sorry I haven't been posting lately--been going through an episode of burnout on RPGs and thesis editing.

GM_Runecat, safe to say Ekan would have found a place to buy a crossbow or other ranged weapon?

I just want to express my appreciation by how many posts we just put up about breakfast.

They say breakfast's the most important meal of the day! :)
Really sorry I've been slacking on posts--Baldur's Gate sunk its hooks into me.
Expect a post from me shortly. :)

Are we...are we fighting the protagonists of We Be Goblins?!
They be goblins.
You be food. >:)

Oh man. I think we might have a potential Goldfish Poop Gang on our hands!
Now the game thread is hidden! What's going on?
No idea.
Testing, testing. Did everyone get a notification that the discussion thread updated?

I'm getting updates on both threads.
