DM Feral's Player's Choice (Inactive)

Game Master Feral

Feral, I assume advanced rogue talents are as per the base class?

If so, anyone have any thoughts on whether I should go with opportunist (gives me an AoO whenever someone hits in combat!) or crippling strike (does 2 points of Strength damage along with regular damage when I sneak attack)? Both seem very strong.

I haven't looked over them much yet but for now, yes.

Opportunist is very nice - note that it only works 1/round, but it's still very good. Crippling Strike is also nice.

Pirknok's currently at 47229.96 net worth.

In other news, who should we give the luckstone to? We'll have to come up with some reason in-character that they'd take it, but who would benefit most?

It's not a luckstone!

*coughs* I mean, the bit-of-demon-prince-horn-that-acts-like-a-luckstone-except-it's-a-profane-b onus?

At the very least, it'd be a profanestone.

It is a pretty effective multipurpose buff and I've already got a bunch of toys. I vote Jess.

As a side note, this new version of the Sable Company Marine makes me want to pull my hair out. Why is the effective druid level at a -1? Why a two feat tax on top of that? There had to be a better way to balance it.

Since you’re rebuilding anyway, how would you feel about a trait version of Boon companion that gives two animal companion levels instead of four.

Would that make things easier?

That would be lovely, it would functionally be even less since I am unlikely to ever multiclass and it means I can pretty much use my combat style feat for this level to justify what I've been doing this entire time.

That's the spirit!

I'm going camping this weekend - leaving tomorrow around noon, will probably be back sometime Sunday.

I'll hold the fort down or smite it, depending on the situation.

Anything else to say to the Great Sun Spirit?

Got Ventus good to go.

Nah, I think we're done with that.

Ventus now has Favored Terrain Urban as well as Underground, Favored Enemy (Giant) and Beaks has Power Attack

I think I'm going to let Jess and Pirknok finish up their heart to heart and then we'll get things moving tomorrow.

Very nice. Sounds like lots of good boosts. You'll have to remind me about the Favored Terrain.

I wanted to have a general buff in most dungeon-y environments but I've so far forgotten about it too. Would things like ruins and dungeons fall under Urban or Underground?

I kind of depends but underground more often then not.

I'm out in about 10 minutes.

Out to slack?

Yep. Slackin' with the bars.

Bah!

Kaplan, you're in charge of all dwarfing in the meantime.

I can do dwarf but not dorf. Is that okay?

Hrm. I suppose so.

I expect the game to improve dramatically with the dorf:dwarf ratio changing as such.

Better set those expectations low.

OK, I think Jessamy's updated now.

+7 hp, +crippling strike advanced talent, +9 skills (+1 Acrobatics, Know (dungeoneering), Know (local), Perception, Sense Motive, Stealth, UMD, +2 Know (history, which is her new tailored skillset).

Question, Feral. Tailored skillset gives Jessamy access to Linguistics via her Know (history). Does that also give her languages?

Unfortunately, no. =(

Dan, that's what I was afraid of. I may tweak Jess' skills from this last level to give her a new language. I'm thinking she may have picked up a few things from exposure to that pit fiend. I'll think about it overnight.

That's not unreasonable.

Have a good night.

ok, I took one rank out of UMD and added it to linguistics. Debating what to take now: Infernal seems an obvious choice considering the source, but I'm trying to decide if taking Thassilonian is fair. I feel like that's the best choice, but I also feel like it's metagaming a bit...

If it helps, Pirknok also now has a mysterious understanding of Thassilonian (that he isn't aware of, I think, but will probably come up next time we encounter it).

I'm sure everyone's noticed by now but Dragoncat has joined is. He'll be replacing Eli.

Welcome aboard!

Wait, we weren't supposed to stab the suspicious elf who was suddenly all interested in our business?

Good thing I can still edit posts before an hour's passed...

No murdering the new guy!

I'm kinda allergic to being stabbed.

You're probably in the wrong group then... :)

I'm a druidic arsonist, so you won't be stabbed by me :)

...

Oddly specific... :)

Katanas are slashing, not piercing, so you won't be stabbed by me either.

I have a giant bird horse?

I’m sorry guys but I’m going through some personal stuff right now that I’m going to need a few days to process.

Take what time you need. We'll be here.

Sorry to hear, Feral. Hope it's all OK, but take your time.

A combination of good friends, some rum, and a night of introspection does wonders. I'm in one piece and going to keep things moving.

Due to his own personal stuff, Kaplan will be leaving us. Rather than introduce yet another new character (and steal Siolad's new guy status), I have a new player coming to reintroduce a previously retired character. I think he has his eyes on Ensu.

Rather than introduce yet another new character (and steal Siolad's new guy hazing)...

Fixed that for you.
