Hi folks, sorry for the extended absence, but Kodokura has been listening the discussion between the women in the garden, trying to discern what's going on here (and metagame-wise, looking for a reasonably logical reason to reveal himself :) I haven't levelled yet but I will in the next 24 hrs.
Enjoying the story though I haven't been very active yet!
Also DM, have you determined my Madness score yet? I'm kind of itching to know, and I plan on guiding Kodo's demeanour around it.
i know your score. its a secret. You know that you have the taint, but you are not sure whether you have years or minutes left until the madness hits. So just act normally and i will make your madness rolls when i need to.
Waugh! >_< I went to the nearest bookstore on a whim. They had A Memory of Light! I held it in my hands! I didn't buy it! Stupid sense of responsibility!
Started the Prologue last night. I will likely get into it on Sunday as I have my table top 3.5 game tomorrow night and birthing classes with my wife on Saturday.
It's a pity no one's taught Ryvin how to Link yet, or she'd be hooking up with Kodokura for this one. :p She's crazy that way.
Just ask my character in game, and you are sure to get a guide :)
Litheene found it more urgent to teach all how to remove adam's before she had to hurry off.
I started reading the book, good stuff so far!
Just bought A Memory of Light
Yeah got it 12hrs ago, still no chance to sit down and read it :)
My leatherbound LE version has apparently been delayed. Don't know when I'll get it now.
ooh bummer
I just received a message from tesliin saying that she can no longer join us within the game. A new promotion at work will be keeping her from doing the PBPs.
So i want to say thanks to Tesliin for the last year+ of gaming; it was alot of fun having you.
now, what to do with a'mar....
Good luck Tesliin; will miss you, now hmm will her character leave or will the GM NPC or will my bond get passed or in the worlds of Monty Python "now for something completely different"
with my hard drive crash; I lost my PDF of the players book :( so I havent updated my character yet; trying to scrape some money together to get the book.
ive taken care of the bond issue for a'mar. Itll resolve itself through game play

thank you
Sorry been trying to update Vala
Well that was a sucky day. Couldnt connect to post rules.
As it is, ill have to sum up until tomorrow.
Sword form used....
Take a -6 to attack and -4 to defense to strike at opponents head. Upon successful strike, deal double damage. If crit, figure crit damage first then double damage. Opponent struck in head is also stunned for 1d6 rounds.
Anyone else finished AMoL? A very good read for a long-time fan, my bias makes it difficult to evaluate as just "a novel".
Now I'll have to go read the whole series again...
Kodokura I thought it was the best book of the series and in the top 5 books I have ever read, which is good because my wife was annoyed that I essentially read the book and ignored everything around me for two days!
Thistledown Floats on the Whirlwind:
(III: 418) With this full attack action, you
may apply a penalty of -6 to your attack
roll (-7 if opponent is wearing a helmet)
and -4 to your defense to strike your
opponent on the head. If you succeed, you
deal double normal damage and the target
is stunned for 1d6 rounds. If a critical is
rolled, apply the critical multiplier after
damage is doubled from this form.
Jareen snarls in rage, pivots a foot, blade held high, and delivers multiple blows directed at Rhoekk's padded head.
jareen uses sword form: Thistledown Floats on the Whirlwind. rules will be posted in discussion page.1d20 + 19 - 6 ⇒ (7) + 19 - 6 = 20
1d20 + 14 - 6 ⇒ (18) + 14 - 6 = 26
damage from single hit1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 total damage= 11
stunned for 1d6 ⇒ 6 rounds
Thistledown Floats on the Whirlwind:
(III: 418) With this full attack action, you
may apply a penalty of -6 to your attack
roll (-7 if opponent is wearing a helmet)
and -4 to your defense to strike your
opponent on the head. If you succeed, you
deal double normal damage and the target
is stunned for 1d6 rounds. If a critical is
rolled, apply the critical multiplier after
damage is doubled from this form.
The way the form is written, I don't believe Rhoekk should have been hit. Thistledown Floats on the Whirlwind is a full attack action that only allows one attack roll. Jareen rolled twice, and the first attack missed my AC.
Of course, if there is another reason behind the GM screen that allows him to change the form, I apologize.
hmmmm....interesting catch. That is correct.
upon further review, Rhoekk is not stunned.
Sucks, but I'll be afk for the rest of the afternoon. Really interested to see how this plays out.
indeed
Okay so I leveled my feat is minor Weave, which I took Detect Shadowspawn 2/day, and Trending the Earth 2/day at first level weaves

All except Striking, Stone and Thistledown..Sadness
Wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes, and apologize for stepping down from the game.
On the other hand, I did pick up A Memory of Light to read while flying, and...
...while I thought that most of the book was very well done, I'm disappointed with the ending. It seems to have left for too much unresolved in my mind. Of course the story of The Dragon is (kind of) ended, and it sums that story up, the story in my mind really went beyond just his story by the end of the novels.
Also forgot there was a character in the novels named Teslyn, that's a bit confusing with my name.
Hey Tesliin, good luck with everything. ^^ It's a shame we didn't get to roleplay that much together. See you around sometime, maybe?
Oh, great and powerful DM... Are there any 'forms' for the quarterstaff, and what does it take to learn them?
my apologies everyone; have been so sick that I slept most of the last three days. I am up to date but dont see where I could have done anything; glad we are all back together and moving.
Glad you're feeling better now, then. ^^
just have this hacking cough left and some chest congestion, reaching for the Mucinex....
i had the same issue back at new years...i still have the occasional cough/Flem bout. sux
Was wondering....If a woman who could like me have Minor Weave be a Warder?
You don't need weaving at all to become a warder, only to have one (and even this got circumvented in the books).
Either non channlers or even full Aes Sedai can, in theory, be wardered.
By white tower costum, only male trainees of the tower are wardered. However, it can be broken in theory, and Ashaman have no costums at all in this matter.
Mind, though, that the White Tower has a tendency to come down like a ton of bricks on any woman who takes a Warder without Tower approval, i.e., she needs to be a graduated Aes Sedai.
See thats what i thought, i was having a debate with someone the other day, they just started the series and thought it would be interesting to have some one bond another woman instead of a man. I didn't know how far she was into the books so i couldn't fully go into the whole Brigette/Elayne thing
you can also get a weave tranfered; though it is agaisnt custom; it does happen in teh books
Yeah they did that with Lan, I remember that
How about someone bond Amorial? He could use one of those nifty warder cloaks :-)
Hmmmm....id allow that... with conditions and modifications to the original...
Hmm warder may be the way to go if it is a static bonus. Anyone thinking of a Wolf brother warder? Maybe a certain Aiel?
well, that would be rather interesting.
Rhoekk would not be interested in being a warder to an Aes Sedai. Now, if a wise one happened to learn the weave...
I wouldn't mind being a Warder
Well, we have spare channelers that have no warders yet, for those interested :)
Though, we still need to learn the weave, and come to the point when it's logical story wise.
