nemo dat quod non habet, Oz. :)
I added pics of Fenster and Zograthy to the campaign tab
Also, I added a Quests section (you will get a few extra side quests in each book along with the main quest), to help in tracking your objectives. That way, you are able to look over if you ever find yourself asking "Wait, what was our goal with....?"
Ready to go after the thugs...my next post might be tomorrow morning, though, given my schedule for the day and evening. I'll try to check back before bed, but might not be able to do so...
So much for Dareon being a tactician, lol.
He's mad and impatient. The tactics are in how he fights, not whether he fights. Also, I mostly took the archetype for the skill points and class skills. He's supposed to be a typical educated noble. He might as well have taken a level in aristocrat, but it's better than that.
I'm triple-archetyping my next level :D
LOL, into what?
alchemist (internal alchemist, chiurgeon, vivisectionist). I decided I wanted it more, mechanically, and also we already have a wizard and a magus in the party.
all abilities I want, exchanged for abilities that I don't care about.
Neat! What is your level progression going to look like then?
1-Fighter-Dodge, Mobility
2-Alchemist
3-Alchemist-Extra Traits [Precise Treatment, Bruising Intellect], Improved Initiative
4-Alchemist-+1 INT
5-Alchemist-Spring Attack, Feral Mutagen
6-Alchemist
7-Alchemist-Vital Strike, Preserve Organs
8-Master Chymist
Basically like this.
LOL, Bruising Intellect. Is that for little ol me? How do you get an extra feat at 3rd level?
Internal Alchemist allows me to substitute discoveries for a certain number of feats.
It's for me, being mean but not terribly good at being social. I get to come up with mean insults :D
For some of us, it just comes naturally, lol.
Dareon, what do you mean the 'value of feats'? Is there a feat that negates allies in a charge or is it something else and I just missed it?
Oh, no, I meant that I didn't have Precise Shot and I'm still shooting my bow.
Elrawien, it's your turn
Was anyone else having problems accessing the website yesterday?
Yeah, it went down to an ISP outage. Glad they got it sorted out relatively quickly!
Me too!
I'll be traveling for about two weeks but should have internet access. If I'm overly delayed, go ahead and move on without me.
The only concerns I have about posting too far ahead are the confusion it can cause, and the reduced effectiveness.
Confusion, because sometimes the person could see the post and think they are up, or they need to go, and then two frequent posters end up feeding each other. I've seen instances where two people are a round or two ahead, another two are a round or two behind, and the GM (it's been me before) has to go back through each post to ensure they are taking place in the right order.
Reduced effectiveness comes in acting in a manner nonconducive to the situation. Currently, the thug is inside a building, and a wall is between he and you. The opening is filled with Gaileyon, thereby causing both a improved cover bonus (+8) to the thug and an in melee penalty (-4) to ranged attacks. This total modifier of 12 to the roll.
As a GM, I would rather have a delayed action appropriate to the situation with plenty of fluff, than an early action light on flavor and not fully taking into account the situation as it stands.
While I understand that, again, the infrequency of posts is really slowing down this adventure and we cannot really move on until this fight is rectified. Have people just lost interest?
I think we have a decent pace, and have been in so many that died because they start with a mad rush and then the players or GM can't keep up. Also, weekends tend to always cause things to slow down.
It's rare to find one that stays fast, and I personally think it can kill motivation if it ends up being too fast. If the game keeps updating before you get a chance to post, then you come back to it and have so many to read through to catch up, that it can be daunting and lead to a desire to bow out or just make a quick simple post that loses out on flavor.
I'm actually quite pleased with the rate we have had in this game thus far.
On a side note, I want to apologize to Oz. I didn't intend to keep you out of everything for so long. I even pushed the aspect of how long it would be and how late the meeting is to offer a reason to meet back up with the party.
You'll see me start making a lot more interesting decisions when Dareon starts to get more options. Right now he's only got attacking in combat, so that's what he'll be doing.
I do apologize for posting so often, I know it's probably been a little overwhelming for everyone else. It's just that this is the only campaign I'm actually a player in and I like to see it advance.
Like I said, I think the pace has been great. For RP portions, the most outspoken (Dareon, Fade, and Elrawien) have been doing plenty of talking, and that is welcome during the RP portions.
Whereas, during combat, patience and a nice mellow speed makes things easier for me as I have to adjudicate the outcomes, the map, and the initiative tracker. Atop that I like to add more flavor to the results.
Hey Daeron, are you a Dragonlance fan?
Not really. My aunt got me the books for my birthday one year, but I haven't read them.
Should I be?
If you are looking for another game I am running a PBP Dragonlance game.
I will have to say that DragonLance has been my favorite for a long time. The Chronicles trilogy were the first novels I ever read (book bigger than like 150 pgs).
I love the characters, the interplay between them, the world and everything in it. If you have the first three (Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning) I think they are a great read, even if the writing style can be a little pedantic (based off the audience they were writing for).
I re-read them from time to time. Right now I am rereading Dragons of the Hour Glass Mage, just finished the Soul Forge, and Dragons of Summer Flame.
IS it a Pathfinder or 3.5 game? I'm unfamiliar with other systems.
I probably should read them, huh? XD
Pathfinder conversion. It is under Shalafi's Summer of Chaos.
They are my favorite books of all time.
I think I started reading them in like 3rd or 4th grade. My favorite is Raistlin. If you want to get a full picture you might want to read the Dragons of Autumn Twilight, then Dragons of the Dwarven Depths, then Dragons of Winter Night followed by Dragons of the HighLord Skies. Then Dragons of Spring Dawning and Dragons of the Hour Glass Mage.
If you're inviting me to join, I totally will XD
I mean, I see that you aren't the DM and that you seem to have a pretty full party. Do you have that kind of authority?

I'M SO LONELY, OH SO LONELY, ON MY oooooOOOOOOOWOWOWOOOOWN
On a more serious note I'm not against the whole me being by myself thing. I have the patience of a monk, plus I'm doing my own AP's at the moment as well. If anything, this is a bit beneficial.
I just hope something actually happens with this rumor, or I'm going to hunt down the guy that suggested it.
I disagree, about the order of reading them. I would read them in the order they were initially introduced (Autumn, Winter, and Summer). Even though other books take place in between, the original story was just those three, in that order.
There's still one alive, and the one that's unconscious is going to be a lot less dangerous than the completely uninjured sleeping one at his feet, and will be incapacitated for much longer (the sleeping one will be sleeping for maybe 6 more rounds, and the injured one will be down for a number of hours equal to the difference between his current health and zero).
There is no reason to keep two members of a group alive when you only need one of them, and it made more sense to kill the sleeping one than the injured one.
YOUR CRITICISMS OF MY TACTICS ARE INVALID, BOY.
Plus, Dareon doesn't believe that we have the time to sit around and question some guard while they should be infiltrating this building as quickly as possible.
I am the DM.
I am the one that put the bugger to me me land.
Yes, you can read them they way that they were introduced but I find that reading the 6 fills in lots of gaps.
Lol, you are probably a fan of Palin, lol.
Daeron's gone nuts.
Nah, I was always intending for him to be like this.
Daeron's gone nuts! :)
LOL, I just noticed that I didnt prepare a light cantrip. I usually do so it is a force of habit to ask if I need to cast it.
I edited my last post, so it won't show as (1 new), so I'm posting here to tell you there is a new post in campaign.
Daereon, if you are going to join the DL campaign, now is the easiest time for me to insert you.
Okay! What does that mean, exactly?
Actually, can you point me someplace I can get setting information on Dragonlance and also your current party composition/disposition? Can I just pop into your discussion thread or something?
Here is the link to the Recruitment thread
