Talk about cool things here.
Checking in! Finishing up a thing real quick, and then I'll be getting everything into her profile all proper-like. ^^
Up and running, ready to roll!
Posted and checking in :) I think my profile is almost all set other than my top bar.
Dotting. Getting things on a profile soon.
Greetings all!
I think I have it mostly together but I need to figure out my traits.
JonGarrett, would you allow me to take this trait without meeting the prerequisites? I think it fits my theme, allowing me to lift larger objects by dramatically over-exerting.
All right, I think I got everything. XD
And done.
Oh, and another question: could I apply my Subtlety mind talent to my detect thoughts SLA?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Spiritual Training, yeah. No reason why not.
I'll ponder the second one. I'm a bit sleepy.
Roger. I just thought since it's the vancian equivalent of a mind sphere major charm, it could fly.
Anyway, I'll add that trait. Thanks!

Hi all! Happy to be here.
Jon, I realized that I forgot to apply the skill points and extra feat that Jennifer gets for being human. I'm adding the four points and Improved Initiative, if that's all right.
Oh, one more thing. Jennifer has a pair of magical glasses. I'd like to buy some sort of fireproof, crushproof case for them that will fit in her jacket pocket. If that's possible, can you come up with a price?
The Modern Path SRD has some aluminum cases, but they're larger than what's required, and I have no idea how x-proof an aluminum case is. If that's helpful.
Thanks.
Those are fine.
Well, crush proof carbon fibre glasses cases are as low as $30, google tells me, and since carbon fibre is fire resistant at least...
Sounds good to me. Thanks.
Such is the fun of mixing systems. XD I managed to mostly avoid overlap myself, although I did end up with stuff like "Detect Secret Doors" as a 3/day and a 1/day power.
...Though, I should probably note that without Expanded Charm, you're still pretty limited there, and Detect Thoughts might actually be better until/unless you pick that up...
Detect thoughts has certain advantages, but it just makes more sense to directly convert it to the SoP analog. My other SLAs do not have good analogs as far as I'm aware, but that one does. It's just simpler that way.

As long as you don't mind the issues Miyu mentioned, sure, swap them out.
Great, I'm reliving my nights after cut off at the corner store.
"Yes those boobs are very nice but the answer is still no."
"Sir I don't care if you're just trying to get your dick wet you're 16."
Good times.
Hey, where I'm from you can start drinking when you are 16. And one may think that a supernatural party would not be bound to US laws... ^_^
You could always get someone else to buy you a drink, I'm sure. Obviously you're not going to be kicked out while holding that invitation. Well, barring any raucous behavior.
Ah, all the times I spent in the pub as a 15-year-old boy, drinking with my friends.
...oh, it was horribly, horribly illegal, but no one cared. We just weren't allowed to stay for the lockins.

Actually I thought about this the laws would actually be much stricter.
In this setting where secrecy is paramount and "adult" age varies from race to race things can get very sticky very fast if an inebriated mage waltzes into a public setting and does something unexplainable. Even our fletchling here still has her license because getting pulled over by cops is annoying enough without trying to explain why the laws don't apply to you.
Sides, I had a character concept that was a sheriffs deputy. You can have cops that check in on these things to make sure some silly teenager doesn't get drunk and whisked off by sparkly vampires.
"I have a giant SUV parked out front that I'm leasing, after all."
This cracked me up! Perfect.

The best part was that when the others started describing what they were driving, I decided that she'd drive an SUV. Then I saw your opening post, and I knew I'd have to work it in.
One thing about narration: do you prefer us using present or past tenses? I'm used to present, but I can do my best to use the past if you'd prefer.
I don't mind. If I'm completely honest, I'm having a good day when I don't veer wildly between the two. I think we typically use past tense, but majority rules on this one - which are you folks most comfortable with?
I use present tense, but I rarely notice when people use past tense. As long as the words and actions are communicated clearly, there's no issue.
I try very hard not to flip within the same post, but I don't really prefer one way or the other. I've not had any (I am not having any?) difficulty understanding, and I've enjoyed all the posts so far.

I've found that past tense seems to work better for play-by-post, myself. It helps the overall campaign read a little more like a story, without the jarring POV changes that present tense offers.
Miyu, did you stack racial perception bonuses? Do they work like that?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Yes, they do. I have a permanent +5 racial bonus to Perception from my Psychometer package, and a circumstance-based +10 racial bonus to spot stuff from my Clairvoyant package. Unlike most bonuses, racial bonuses do stack. Finding stuff is basically her specialty. XD I considered going for the Clairaudient package as well (which would make it just a flat +10, instead of limiting that bonus to spotting things), but that seemed like it would be overdoing things.
No kidding. That's intense.

That said, while it's good for finding problems, it's not quite so good for solving them... so I honestly don't expect it to be a serious disruption or anything. Perception checks are usually set with the expectation that at least one member of the party has a good chance of making it, after all. Miyu is just the one most likely to do that. XD

That's why Jennifer has claws! For solving problems!
Ahhh the poor timing of posts. Just when I was about to read up on drinks and do a thing someone had to go and be an antagonist in this story.
I wish I could solve problems with claws...
At level 12, they catch on fire!
The drinks?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Well some of them. But only on request.
I didn't mean it in a snarky way :| although you'd deserve it, after that bait-and-switch earlier.
...I think we all pretty much speak in Snarky. It's kinda the way we do things.

I thought that was called "common".
Or "gamer".
"There's been an incident, I suggest find you find another place to go. I think there is one downstairs. I would not try to interrupt the hostess right now..."
As a player, I'm not sure who you're talking to. Can you clarify for my sake at least?

Nurai stared down the cloaked figure as she listened to the tone of voices coming from the restroom.
Nurai is talking to [and sense motive-ing and detect magicking and her shadow eidolon is annoyed at] the cloaked figure coming towards the restroom.
Nurai's intention is to block people interrupting you all since bright sparkly bathroom is not the strongest place for her to hide her abilities...and she can see into it if needed anyways. Cloaked person is setting of Nurai's 'yeah, no not you' vibes.
Oh, I got it. Sorry, for some reason I thought this figure was further away and you were talking to someone else.
Thanks for the explanation.
