I'm not gonna lie, I laughed out loud when I saw your little minion. "Hiss"
What else would a skeleton say? "sup?"
I've been posting from my phone for the whole darn game until now. Finally back in front of a real keyboard.
Soris, thanks for the suggestion. I didn't have a wrist sheath before, but I sure do now. :)
I've never played a gunslinger before so I don't know those little tricks. Any suggestions are more than welcome.
GM, thanks for the catch. I'll fire next round.
Also save you a shot as it was going to be a miss. So your last round was your reload which means this round you can shot. Make sure to hit, unlike your teammates for this round
Ok, finally got done with my equipment list.
I didn't know if you would allow pre-game crafting of equipment so I paid full price. If i'm allowed to make my own gear for 1/2 cost I'm significantly richer right now...
Yeah, Boomer's kind of an a@!@$@$. :)
Feel free to call him out on it if you're so inclined. The character might be a overbearing and tactless, but the player is a pretty reasonable guy.
Thats why Soris and Boomer get along. They both say things that make you go grrrr. XD
I'm having a blast, actually. I know some people like that in real life, and it's nice to be able to actually respond for a change. As you can see, Isaac values aren't fully defined yet, either. He's young and loud and naive with everything to prove. Of course, he doesn't know what he's trying to prove just yet.
I'm really enjoying it as well. Not every day I pretend to be a woman ;)
Edit: I guess it is now...
I'll admit Isaac, that having a cleric who is not gun ho about saving every wounded citizen is kind of refreshing.
Darius, dhampir's won't take damage from positive energy when it is designated to heal, only when positive energy is used to harm. essentually you just won't be healed. No damage is taken
Hey Tierce did my sense motive roll pick up anything, like maybe an enchantment?
Oh yeah no one answered my kobold meat question too. Sorry if I seem like a pest but I dont like missing loot or a hint of things to come. Granted the kobold meat thing is utterly pointless yet still I asked. ;D
Edit- DM ninja'd me.
Kobold meat is edible and tastes like chicken. You can salvage some if you like, its a survival roll. Although, not sure anyone would eat it but yourself
I think, assuming it's alright, that I will change Isaac's alignment to LG for now, under the assumption that it will change to CG as he develops. It hasn't mattered yet, and I feel like that's more appropriate to his attitude right now.
Didn't you just try to leave a bunch of unconscious people under branches at night near a bunch of corpses just because they were our competition?
I'm not trying to start an alignment argument, but that doesn't sound much like Lawful Good to me. Maybe chaotic good or neutral good, but even that's a stretch.
Honestly, it sounds Lawful Neutral to me. (concern for rules over the welfare of people)
He's really up in arms about this adventure competition. He gets really wrapped up in whatever "quest" he's working on right now. I don't view the LG alignment as "lawful" as much as "orderly." Isaac's definition of orderly is "doing it Praetor's way," and his definition of good is "what Praetor wants." He is under the impression that Praetor wants him to go on this "quest," so that is good in his book. Although, in the minds of others, he probably does come across as LN. I guess it's up to the GM whether or not his alignment is in his own eyes or those around him. I'll leave it up to Tierce.
I am going to make those three survival rolls, does anyone else also want to roll. Galdor has no bonus on survival.
Neither do I, and I don't trust my dice rolls right now.
Yeah you don't really want to get into an argument about alignment, especially with me as your gm as I feel quite strongly about them. Jacob, stick with lawful good for now, a lot of people do not realize that an LG person, especially one of a religious nature can be quite twisted. I've seen justification on how an LG person can massacre innocent people and yes even abandon people in the woods, all because they were following the law of their god and were acting as what the felt was "good". Being a cleric of praetor is a prime example of how things can become twisted
Two words: Spanish Inquisition

Exactly, Darius earns a cookie
I only have a +1 on survival.
I want a cookie.
Curses. I wanted that cookie. I have +3 to survival.

Thats where I go for answers on that kinda stuff. It makes sense to me, so going by that Isaac is not LG but the GM overrides that so I guess he is. Still clerics alignments are connected to their god so really it would be a question of what is Praetor's alignment and does LG fall with in range of it.
P.S. Seems everyone is an early bird around here >.<
I definitely fit in with Praetor, because it's obvious he's lawful. As for good, it's in the eye of the beholder. Er...excuse me...I meant flying eye-monster. Aah! Too late! The lawyers are at my door!
You mean like this
Only my favorite comic ever. (Just barely edged out xkcd after a 4 day archive binge when I first discovered it.)
That's an interesting take on alignment.
I find that the core issue with alignment misunderstandings is that in order to make Alignment work as a mechanic, it must be Objective within the game world (i.e. have clear definition on a cosmic scale which is indifferent to what people think is right or wrong), but still be Subjective from a player-perspective (I.e. open to debate between the people playing the game.)
It's one of those yin-yang dichotomies that people often reverse, which causes the whole concept to fall apart.
Personally, I think scrapping the whole concept would be good, except that it's tied mechanically to a few very important spells and abilities.
Now that I understand the GMs perspective (morality is relative to the moral agent's perceptions and biases) I have a much better understanding of both the culture of the world, and the roles and motivations of the world's gods. My guess is the gods are more like Greek/Norse gods than, say, Egyptian. (representing aspects of humanity rather being metaphysical caretakers of reality)
This has been helpful, thanks.
Here's an interesting rules hiccup ranged characters can take advantage of:
You can move into and through an ally's square, but you can't end your turn in a shared square unless you're grappling. If you do, you get bumped back into an adjacent square (back the way you came).
Two characters can choose to share a square but suffer Squeezing penalties.
What that means is that a ranged character can 5' adjust into a square an ally is in, (getting rid of the soft cover they provide enemies) take their shot/spell, and then get bumped back into their original square at the end of their turn. This can be described in game as firing over an ally's shoulder.
The only danger is that if the ally you decide to share a square with is in melée you would risk an AoO from firing while threatened (casters can make concentration checks, guys like me just have to take the risk)
The only area where it's unclear is if the attack incurs Squeezing penalties. Generally it's up to the GM. What I've seen in the past is a check to see if the frontliner is able to cooperate with the and releive the penalties (I've seen this done as a Dex check, a balance/acro roll and a CMB roll against the CMD of the creatures threatening them)
What do you think?
In my RL game we play it that an ally directly in front of you does not provide the cover, so no issue.
That's a good house rule and I'd love to see it in this game.
My main issue is that I use an AoE weapon primarily. Even if adjacent allies don't provide cover, they'd still be caught in my blast.
The rules I sighted above originally came from things like Bullrushes moving a character into an ally's space against their will, but they also work to provide benefit by removing an adjacent ally from your field of fire by starting the AoE in front of them rather than behind them.
In case anyone is wondering. I am saving my 1st lvl spells (3 left) for anything nasty sense when its gone I am pretty much useless. XD
My only 1st level spell is color spray, and now is not the time for that.
Conserve that magic fellas. We'll need it later.
This particular fight is custom built for a couple AC tanks and our healers.
Guys! Guys! I got this!
This is going to hurt.
Channel energy has to be designated to heal or to harm, so if you hurting undead, it won't heal at the same time. I wish it did both at the same time
Does Boomer spend his turn talking or did you want to make an attack still? I will go ahead and post the results of the zombies turn, so if anything, Boomer can get two standard actions next round.
Sorry Darius :(
Hey your character didn't know, she had to find out sometime.
Hey Jacob, that's how a GM is supposed to make will saves and attack roles! there supposed to fail them all! Not to have a rat swarm resist every spell!!! grumble
Well if Darius lets on that he is a half vamp. Soris will let on that he can use magic scrolls and look at that he happens to have one that will heal Darius. ;)
Be aware I only have one. They are not cheap, a wand of infernal healing is on my list but for now scrolls is all I can reach gold wise. >.<
Oh, that's right. I forget about having to choose whether to heal or harm.
Heh, I can't help it if the dicebot is partial to the beasties.
Just waiting for Boomer's attack and we can move on to the next round :)
Everybody still entertained? Still having fun?
Absolutely! I love the characterization and relationships everyone is developing, the combat is quick and smooth, and I can't wait to discover more about the mysterious world of Epiphany. I want to find something really cool in this dungeon!
I like it so far. Really just waiting for the whammy I know is coming. XD
Oh I'm having a blast. I can't wait for when I reveal to Isaac and Felisin what my character is. *Imagines the look on Isaac's face.*
Oh yes, lots of fun. With the way I am rolling, I am looking forward to keen.
I can't really attack right now. Issac is sitting right int the middle of my blast area. I'll just fight the zombies with foul language.
