@Mihara: That's exactly why I took it. ^^ Teamwork turns fun powers into hilarious ones.
*Picks up Selena's list of people to love forever*
*Adds Azri*Because they are getting all touchy with me during their turn, I think I can even Level Drain them during their turn!
We'll have the wackiest Save or Die spell ever.
*Waits for the ensued mayhem*
By the way, I adjusted my SR accordingly, GM. Also, an important thing that I missed to underline when I leveled up:
A tetori uses his monk level in place of his base attack bonus to determine CMB and CMD for grappling. At 4th level, he suffers no penalties on attack rolls, can make attacks of opportunity while grappling, and retains his Dexterity bonus to AC when pinning an opponent or when grappled.[...]
I felt it was important to note it, as it could influence future encounters a lot.
With our gracious Overlord's permission, Aibek's going on the Master of Shapes Mythic Path from the Mythic Paths of the Lost Spheres. Because what Aibek really needs is to get a large pair of teeth and claws (this tier), be able to change size (next tier most likely). take weapon's abilities and put them on claws, and be able to extrude weapons...
I've updated my stat line (HP jump from rolling an 8 with GM's overseeing, putting the Stat boost in CON on GM recommendation and the mythic boost) and info block, though still to add a mythic feat (most likely mythic weapon finesse) and GM has poked me in that I seem to have lost whichever noncampaign trait I picked pre-game so need to find that. Other than those, Aibek's all mythic-ed up for the mayhem.
Level Up:
Shadow Assassin 3 --> Shadow Assassin 4/Master-of-Shapes 1
HP: 19 up +18 to 37 (Roll + Con increase + Mythic bonus)
Skill Points: +6
SR: 9 -> 10
New Abilities:
Shadowmeld Skill Bonus
Mythic Master of Shapes Adaptation: Altered State (Su): As a swift action, you may spend a use of mythic power to select a new form for an ongoing metamorphosis, shapechange or polymorph effect. The change
does not alter the duration or allow any choices outside the normal options for the ability. (Now changing can be a swift action rather than standard).
Ability: Savage Shift (Ex): Your natural weapons when assuming a form with a spell, power, or supernatural ability are treated as one size category larger than normal. (so large bite and claws for extra bitey and slashy fun damage)
Mythic Feat: Probably Weapon Finesse Mythic
...this is going to be the only game ever where I have dragons having to point out where the bad heroes touched them on a doll, isn't it?
::Rolls his eyes in the direction of a certain player::
Yeah that's not something, some of us have to worry about. Just don't touch my sword, it's my sword, mine. xD
...this is going to be the only game ever where I have dragons having to point out where the bad heroes touched them on a doll, isn't it?
That reminds me of the time my gestalt Monk/Fighter successfully put an adult dragon in a chokehold until said dragon fainted.
Awww. The harem anime strikes in character but my character is too shaken to react to it. :(
...this is going to be the only game ever where I have dragons having to point out where the bad heroes touched them on a doll, isn't it?
But where on a doll will I point where he hurt my feelings?
And Nigrum first has to notice that I'm touching him before he starts doll-pointing: I thought about a couple of possible reactions he could have had when I wrote the post, but "grab by the foot, toss away" wasn't one of them. :PBy the way, if we slept one week, do we got back all of our hit points?
@Mihara: Working on the dragon-grappling part.
Yes, you're all back to full.
And now, for 'Greatest derp moments':
As she's presenting herself as a man, it's a given that she doesn't use them in conversation, but Aibek never used gender specific pronouns/adjectives since we started, even in descriptions. Cool!
*Insert Mind=Blown gif here*
Now I'll feel very silly if I was the only one to notice it only now. <.<
*applause*
I hadn't noticed that either.
Don't know Aibek's gender, it's not in the profile and has not been stated as far as I know. So I am just treating Aibek as androgynous, not that Nigrum cares about that. As long as it's not personal, gender means nothing to him. His hometown didn't place gender into any roles or positions, they care only for merit. He is much the same way.
P.S. There was this game where a female was pretending to be male via protective magical equipment. The only way she could (and has by some) be detected much less distinguished was via scent. Which I just find funny. xP
Aibek is too subtle? ;)
No need to feel silly, it's simply a writing preference I chose to take at the start to show Aibek's state of mind and viewpoint of neutralizing and blending into the role Aibek's trying to play. Also, kind of a writing challenge - it's fun and awkward to see how to word things so I can avoid pronouns and gender descriptions and still feel somewhat natural at the same time. I have had to use them a few times and it's probably how Aibek would refer to themself if required.
I am pleased that you like that though :D
Fear the pronoun ninja skills.
Hey, I'm dropping this message to all my groups:
I've a huge spike in schoolwork as this week begins, and I might be a little late on posting. Should be over before this week ends, but please forgive me for the delay. i'll try and get posts up ASAP.
... please forgive me, Nigrum. I couldn't resist. I knew I wanted to show the party Mihara's acting skills soon, and the moment was too perfect.
For the curious I've simply got a nasty cold. Tired, dizziness when walking, bizarre fever created daydreams...
The problem is I'm also working. Between the two they're kicking my ass a little, which is a bit annoying. I'm tired and sore and feel like I may have done certain acts to a barbed devil better left unspoken because my throat really hurts.
*Channels positive energy to DM JonGarret*
And I just got up: during the lunch break (in 5 hours or so) I will write an appropriate tearjerker reaction for Zhen. ):
How tall is Selena? Ayreth is short and I wasn't sure where to have her tears fall. I went G-rated. ;)
Me in the last two minutes after reading this post:
"Oh, right Ayreth's short. Let's see how much 4'9'' is in meters...O.O
I didn't think that short!
You englishpeople and your silly non-metrical system! :P
The auto-converter tells me that Selena should be 5'10'' feet tall.
So, yeah, there have been some physical inconsistencies in our last few posts. <.<
No big deal, I was just kidding! I felt pretty dumb back there though. :P
And I'm from Italy!
We are an international bunch, aren't we? I'm English. I also work nights, hence why I'm on so late by GMT. And yeah, I use feet and inches. I'm old.
I'm from Quebec, here.
American, currently in the sun shine state Florida. ;)
Speaking of character heights. Mihara is barely an inch taller than Ayreth, making her rather short. Of course, she cheats and adds four inches to her human form, making that one 5'0".
Wow, Nigrum is 6'6. He's like a giant to you guys.
Look, I have problems with this "growing" thing living people do, okay? DX
I also note that Nigrum weighs more than Mihara and Ayreth combined.
...I actually do that one in real life. Since I'm 6ft 3 and weigh about 300lbs, I'm usually literally any two other people in the room.
Yeah, this group is great.
Hey Nigrum is all muscle and lean for his height. He is pretty light considering his height and gender. Don't confuse him for some ulfen barbarian type with those huge bulky muscles. xP
I agree, good group. Personally I think I tend to lag.
I agree: I'm liking this group a lot! And don't worry Nigrum: JG said that this part is going to be RP heavy, so we'll have plenty of inter-party RP occasions, too!
@Azri and not growing up: Well, at least you became undead at a reasonable age: if it happened 'sooner', we would have got in the thorny situation of the "I'm a Lich/dragon/someotherthing! I'm over a thousand years old, I only look like a prepubescent girl!" trope.
Aibek is about as tall as Selena, so Nigrum towers over us all...
Heh heh heh. XD Indeed. It's a fairly popular anime trope, but I felt like being normal. Probably for the best, considering the spell selection I've wound up with...
Oh, Nigrum, I didn't mean to imply you were heavy. Rather, I was making a point about how tiny Mihara and Ayreth are. :P
Speaking of tiny: Come level five, Mihara will be literally "Tiny". (As in the size category.)
Woo, Fox Shape.
Speaking of tiny: Come level five, Mihara will be literally "Tiny". (As in the size category.)
Woo, Fox Shape.
You know you are getting grappled and cuddled as soon as that happens, right? :3
Yes, yes, I know. *sigh* How degrading. :P
That reminds me, I wanted to ask the Overlord a question:
Being a Kitsune allows Mihara to take one specific human form.
Having the Realistic Likeness allows Mihara to take other human forms, not just her own.
Fox Shape allows Mihara to take one specific fox form.
Would you allow a little stretching of the Realistic Likeness feat to allow Mihara to take different fox forms as well?
Mechanics wise, this probably doesn't have much of an impact. (Please tell me if I'm wrong there.) Roleplay wise, though, it means I can give Mihara a more distinctive default fox form without losing the benefit of using an inconspicuous form to spy about.
No, that sounds fine. Honestly, I never got why some folks limit Kitsune to human forms. You can change entire facial shape in the shift between human and Kitsune, and can change your colour and tone to any human. The idea that you can make your ears a little pointier or change your skin to green doesn't seem too farfetched, so I always allow folks to look like a creature the same size as them. They just can't copy supernatural effects, so an Aasimar with a halo is out, but beyond that...
Plus it's good to know Nigrum isn't fat, he's just leanly muscled.
And yes, the eternal Loli is kinda scary...
Alright, I appreciate that and will keep it in mind.
Just to clarify because I'm a little confused:
Messages and instructions are sent through the household of Zhen Halfblood as the Half-Orc finalizes requests and makes last minute arrangements.
Does this include the earlier-discussed Sending?
No issues. Mihara's also a face-type, but you have me out-diplomacized by a large margin.
If we have to fool someone at some point, though, I'll have to take point, heheh.
I have a face now, but I'm just fine if someone else does most of the talking. XD
I'm perfectly okay with Ayreth being the lead. In case it's needed, Selena can also act as a fall-back face: she has a Diplomacy modifier one point lower than Ayreth (that gets bumped by one point when used to retrieve informations), thanks to a +8 racial bonus to CHA.
So, in social situations, we have Ayreth on point, Selena on backup, Nigrum to play the Bad Cop to either of them, Aibek and Mihara in charge of trickery (with Mihara pulling double duty as the go-to impersonator), Azri as the source of knowledge and living lie detector. (+18 Sense Motive. I'm impressed)
Seems like we're well rounded.
