my post was eaten, i am still here.
THOON is very complicated, and i'd rather not muck up the works with another template. I am quite deep into Archeage these days, so i have little spare time for character creation (the most costly time-wise venture in RPGs).
Well, that looks awesome Ten! I'll give it a bit more of an depth look later. How's the gameplay??
its pretty good. I'm on Tahyang server if you pop on. Nuian/Elf faction.
gameplay is crazy. Im not the most well-versed MMO-wise, but this is only the second MMO i have been willing to pay monthly for. (WAR was the first, although i keep giving strong looks at DDO)
but yeah, the combat isnt the tightest, people's hearts are all a-flutter for the whole "active combat" thing where you double tap to dodge and all that. this, combat-wise, is a little more clunky than, say, Guild Wars 2.
where it excels is the crafting, it is amazingly complex. farming and economy are huge. i think of it more like farmville where you can also kill bad guys (PC and NPC) and there are a few dungeons at the moment.
also, one thing i love, the ships. you can craft actual ships that you can pilot around the vast and open seas. these are important to do trade runs of certain materials that, if you make in the right place and take to one of the several right places (farther is better, more dangerous is better) then you make more. you can also build SEVERAL varieties of houses, decorate them how you want, etc.
the community can be annoying at times. that would be my primary complaint, as well as a few aspects of mismanagement on the part of the company. not enough servers for launch, typical MMO launch crap.
Waiting on Charis to confirm! :)
I'm back as well!
*flares tentacles*
Still here?
We were always here. Since before the stars began to shine. Watching, waiting... In time the prophecy shall be fulfilled and we will come forth from the shadows. Not yet, no... soon, but not yet.
Hey guys,
I'm sorry, but I'm wanting to withdraw from this campaign. I've got more demands on my time, and I don't want this to be creeping around my shoulder and waiting to spring up on me when I least expect it.
I wish you all the best, and I hope you guys have a wonderful campaign.
The same for me, sorry.
It was an interesting start, but I've pretty much lost hope that we'll start again, and I'd like to join other games without the worry that this one will creep back up on me.
I bring news! Your masked goddess shall return soon!
Back! So, two drops? What about the rest of you?
Still here RVT!! Really, really hope we can seriously get this game going again.
We can and we will! If worst comes to worst, we can spot some people that are good end game players and ask if they are interested, yeah?
Sure, but you gotta stop disappearing on us :P
Build a shelter for your internet box, maybe even a small house, lol.
The internet wasn't the problem, as I'm sure TSP has mentioned lol.
I seem to recall you saying something about the weather taking out your 'Net box, no? and then it taken quite some time to replace?
^
He hasn't explained it? I'm not sure this is the proper forum for it then. :P
Don't worry about it. I know. Didn't wanna bring it up here, as you said.
Here as well!
Sorry, busy trying to get characters ready for TSPs campaigns and i got distracted! :(
Ngh. This campaign still seems too fun to pass. Is it too late to retract my departure?
No, you are still in! I told you that there was always a place for you! ^_^
There's one thing I'll need to come to terms with, where Trazzle is involved:
I'll never be able to play him optimally. So many abilities... s-so manyyyyyyyy! I can't even keep track.
Also, I'm a little lost on something: I lost my legendary item's abilities, and I can't seem to find them again. Could you remind me of the creation rules for it so I can quickly remake it?
Trazzle, it's no big deal! Versatility is often just as important, if not more, than optimization! Read the gameplay post, as I reiterated the Legendary Item rules for you! ^_^
Ah! Thank you!
Here's the Clever Coat's new stats, for your re-approval. (I remember that we had agreed to a homebrewed abilty, the 'Rummager' ability mentioned below. Please correct me if this is wrong.)
The Clever Coat (occupies Body slot)
Abilities:
Intelligent x 2 (10 int, 12 wis, 10 cha, speaks common, senses within 30 feet)
->Ability: Rummager: The Clever Coat is animate, but is not apt at moving on its own. It can, however, use its sleeves as arms to rummage through Trazzle's equipment and hand him items requested. (The Clever Coat uses its own actions to do this.)
Undetectable
Surge: d6, Str, Dex skill checks, Con checks. 2 per day.
Sounds good! ^_^
Huzzah! Character sheet updated with it.
Versatility is often just as important, if not more, than optimization!
Trazzle is nothing if not versatile.
And... your item is reaccepted, Trazzle!
actually a legit tactic. i once had a druid turn the first lord of hell into a goldfish because the 5th lv polymorph was all i had that would tell me if my enemy was an illusion or not (and i had already wasted an epic spell on an illusion)
Hah! We'll see if this pays off.
Heyo all :)
I can't seem to stay away from this campaign. Forgive me if my posting is a bit slow at some points, I'm coming upon finals over here, though I'll try to keep up on what's going on.
Many thanks to RVT for letting me come back :)
LIKE OMG, TRAZZLE TURNED THE MAW OF OBLIVION INTO A CHICKEN!!! CURSE YOU, UNDEAD FORTITUDE SAVES!!! :D
As I just told TSP, I am surprised it doesn't have immunity to polymorph effects. Also, you do know it uses its Cha mod in place of Con for its Fort saves, right RVT???
I knows! It was like a 3/4 undead. We blended undead and half-undead lol. So, no big huge immunities, but it had the CHA to HP and Fort saves. We wanted it to be weaker because of how damaging the thing was (Able to hit about 120-200 a round on average,) and how powerful it's abilities were. Woops lol! XD
Undead are immune to any effect that requires a Fort save, unless it works on objects or is harmless. I believe that might make undead immune to BPM.
Shoulda just kept it undead, if that's the case :P
I wanted to pop off a super duper Polar Ray!!
Oh, but wait until the posts are up... I got good advice from the Ultimate GM of Penultimate WTFness! >:)
RVT, did you roll the initial Will save vs Evil Eye?
And what kind of crappy uber bosses lack immunity to mind affecting effects? :P
Edit: Do our various companions act on our initiative?
hah!
to be fair, it would have passed with a roll of 7 if it had not been for the penalties placed on its' saves.
did THOON's damage hit?
Oh man. I'm dying here. I didn't actually think that would work. Beware, mortals! Bawk bawk bawk!
I threw that out at random because I happened to have it prepared, I didn't think in a million years it would work.
(Props for not retconning it immune!)
Don't forget to will save against evil eye. (At best it reduces this effect to one round, so it doesn't impact the polymorph.)
whose turn?
I'm gonna wait till RVT decides if she'll have the Maw save vs the Evil Eye and see where that goes before I post.

The Maw will be a chicken whether it makes that save or not; that roll really doesn't have much of an impact anymore.
If it saves, it will be a chicken with -4 to saves for 1 round.
If it fails, it will be a chicken with -4 to saves for 20 rounds.
