Given the prevalance of magewrights, I get the feeling from Eberron that magewright+wands were suppose to replace guns. PF guns do require some training to be good, and for most npcs a level 1-3 magewright with a wand of fireball (or even magic missile, which IIRC were standard issue for low level soldiers who could use them) is going to be a lot more powerful in a war than a level 1-3 warrior with a primitive firearm. You might be able to say that firearms are something House Cannith experimented with a little and decided were inferior to magic. Or, you could say House Cannith decided that making firearms and other mundane technology to potent and easy to use would substantially weaken the dragonmarked houses monopolies.
Actually, that can help explain a lot of delays in producing nonmagical technology in Khorvaire : the people doing a lot of the inventing, the dragonmarked houses, have a vested interest in avoiding the danger of mundane technology making them less essential.
Yes, that is good - so good I'm stealing it.
Alright. I will work up the character tomorrow after work.
Looking forward to your PC, Tenro.
Meanwhile, guys. Let's not forget we're in the middle of a battle.
Agreed. Rehil, lightem up!
Just want to confirm, my character will enter with standard starting wealth and level 1, correct?
I present Nalverren, Investigator.
is Nalverren good, oe does he need any tweaks?
Apologies for posting as me in the Game thread. I got mixed up and thought I was posting here.
I like Nalverren. He should be an interesting addition to the party.
I had another GM do that a few times as well. The holidays must be getting to everyone.
Well, and it's just an easy mistake to make. Your Investigator looks fun.
Eben, nice roll for Grazzat. I'm so glad I didn't try again.
I havent amended it yet, however the changes to not affect level 1. by the time i level up, they will likely change it again.
i will double check to be sure though, i want to make sure there isnt some teensy minor change that i missed.
Eben, nice roll for Grazzat. I'm so glad I didn't try again.
I'll only be upset if Cole rolls for crap on his turn, now. :P
AFK til Monday night.
Ben, feel free to roll for Rehil anytime. In one roll you've done 4 times more damage than I did in 7.
I think Will is up. (Just a friendly reminder while I'm posting my arrow count.
Note to self: Rehil has 9 arrows left.
Wultram, that weakening spell just paid off in spades. He missed by 1... the 1 you took from him just before he attacked.
Sheesh. Thanks.
So sorry for the sudden drop-off in posting. Holidays came harder/faster than I expected.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
Happy Holidays to you and yours
Wouf! Wouf! Wouf !
Too bad. I'm back and ready to go.
I hope that visit works out. I like my mother-in-law, but I know some people aren't as fortunate.
Happy New Year everyone!
Tenro, sorry about recognizing your PC. I got caught by the holidays IRL, and the party's been kind of rushed in game life. Alas, Aubrey's left us with a spoiler cliffhanger that might further delay a better introduction in-game unless we step back a few seconds in time in game while waiting for our esteemed DM to return IRL. WIth that in mind, my next post in game ...
Hah no worries at all! The better he can just slide in unnoticed the better it is for him.
Which is why he didnt make an introduction or anything, just acted like he belonged.
Well, if Aubrey's AFK for a few days we might as well chat...
True.
ah yeah i have done it as well.
Sorry for the absence. This holiday was crazy. Last minute work projects, unexpected family in-town, and a week of sickness for my little family.
Sheesh.
I sure hope these lizardmen brought plenty of spare arrows!
I sure hope Rehil can hit some of them.
...
Arrows begin to fly.

"So pants"? I'm not familiar with the colloquialism, but I sympathize with the sentiment.
Boy, do I sympathize.
i think it means crazy/unexpected. not sure, that would be a guess from context clues and the occasional British comedy.

No, it means "rubbish" or "bad". "Pants" in English English generally means underpants rather than trousers (though not exclusively - I'm from southern England but my wife is from northern England and tends to use pants as meaning trousers, so maybe this particular bit of slang is more a southern thing). From there it's a short step to "pants" having somewhat negative connotations - small, trivial and worthless garments, possibly a bit grubby blah blah. Maybe I'm over-analysing. Anyway, here endeth today's lesson.
Gotta love the cross-cultural exchange. So enriching.
So what should Grazzat do next round? When faced with melee in the house B-phil went with enlarge and intended on hand to hand. This battle is a little more strung out.
Wont be on for a bit, having my birthday dinner with some friends and likely to be fairly tired, if not hung over, for a portion of tomorrow.
You're right, my bad. AN excess of enthusiasm. So, what will he do in round 1?
I say down-play him since his player's not around anymore. Let's have him stick to Bokehn, attacking any threats that get near our paycheck... er... i mean boss.
It's a strategy that doesn't really require much thought, and slides his character (who's basically an NPC at this point) into the background while still playing a useful role on the team.
Basically, he could Move + Ready an attack every round, and let the rest of us do the actual heavy lifting in the fight.
