Honestly, with the way this is going so far I think Kruh might be the only survivor of this fight. That manticore is well on it's way to slaughtering us it seems.
Difficult terrain (can't charge), flying opponents, larger opponents, stairs, lack of line of sight, big bad is surrounded by hazards (fire etc), area of effect battle field control spells, brace weapons to counter a charge.
Just a few ideas
And yeah pretty much, we're facing the same thing, seemingly unhittable and massive damage.
Weeell, I am going to go ahead and say that the Dice Gods hate us at the moment as well...
I'll give you that, but I think the bad rolls have more to do with that than it's AC. You guys also almost iced it in a single round. It was at 18 HP for a while until Schandra hit it.
You knoooooow. I really wanted a treant, not a bull... Fits better but is a animal companion traditionally available too only a tree singer. If your OK with retconing I could take it that direction instead.
Lemme take a look at it first. I should have taken a closer look at the bull.
Plant companion ability, sappling treant Its a lot easier to hit than Kruuh is but hits about as hard while also having the gimick of being really good at sundering and breaking things.
What I would probably do mechanicly is have it take Dirty fighter and improved sunder. So instead of outright killing people like Kruuh does he would just be blinked around smashing peoples weapons and armor. More of a support roll like Kresh is intended for rather than that AND a melee beatstick. ^^^Plans on taking the creation sphere next so he can fix the loot he breaks^^^
Hey there, this is a friend of Loup Blanc. He sent me a text to let you know his computer is currently busted, and he's not sure when (or if) he'll be able to get it fixed. He's looking for other means of posting, but if those don't pan out he'll likely be MIA for a while until he can find a way to get online and post.
Tell him I said thanks for the heads up. I'll keep his spot open until he gets back.
And Loup Blanc here letting you know that it was probably a false flag--things look to be okay for now. It was probably just a crash, but I've had bad luck with computers in the past so I was expecting a worst case scenario. I should be okay, but if I go dark the old message stands.
I've started having some serious computer problems the last couple of days and this may lead to spotty posting until I can replace it. Hopefully that won't be the case and I will keep you updated as best I can until then.
I'm sorry guys, but I need a mental break. I'll try to pick this back up on Monday. Sorry. :(
It's cool mang, take some time too decompress.
Yeah, no worries. Let us know when you're good.
I understand the feeling, GM. Take your time and come back when you're ready.
I've been going back and forth on this for a little while now and I think I need to be honest with myself.
I am not really having fun running this and because of that, my motivation is pretty much shot. On top of this, I've been feeling like I am not a good GM, or even a mediocre one. I think this could work, but not with me as the GM, or at least, not with me at this moment.
I hate having to do this, but I have to consider what's fair to you, and it's more fair to just end it than to drag it on and me subject you to a game that's blah at best.
I'll leave the game active for a week so everyone can see this, then I'll be shutting it down. I'm sorry about this and hope you guys understand.
I understand, and I'm sorry it's not been fun for you.
Don't get me wrong, there were parts that I had a lot of fun, even if I'm not any more. There is also that I feel like I'm not doing a good job and, to me, that's probably the bigger issue. I feel like I'm doing a bad job, and that makes me feel like I'm scum, and then I start beating myself up over it and believing I should feel like scum. That's a little exaggerated, but that's the sentiment.
It's not your fault, and you can lay a lot of the blame with me. I just don't think I can fix it or even have the will to do it or the skill to pull it off without just wiping the board and starting over.
Sorry it's been a rough experience for you. I understand, and wish you the best.
This being a game, the goal is to have fun. If one is not actually enjoying oneself, then it is quite understandable and a good idea to stop. And that includes the GM. I understand and like the others wish you the best.
So, till next we meet in PbP, toodles! :-)
