[irony]No. I'm only telling you that as an information without use :P[/irony]
But with your history they'll end up dust covered right besides your horn of pursuit.
Before you ask again. I edited the irony tags in.
Also you totally left a +1 guisarme on the floor of the last room.
I thought Tauriell grabbed it, she grabs everything. I have had no real reason to use the horn, I have not been separated from the party, or had to harass a spell caster and stop him prepping spells, or anything like that really.
Also you might mean sarcasm instead of irony?
No I don't.
Irony (from Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία (eirōneía), meaning "dissimulation, feigned ignorance"[1]), in its broadest sense, is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event in which what appears, on the surface, to be the case, differs radically from what is actually the case.Verbal irony and sarcasm
A fair amount of confusion has surrounded the issue of the relationship between verbal irony and sarcasm.
Fowler's A Dictionary of Modern English Usage states:
Sarcasm does not necessarily involve irony and irony has often no touch of sarcasm.
This suggests that the two concepts are linked but may be considered separately. The OED entry for sarcasm does not mention irony, but the irony entry reads:
A figure of speech in which the intended meaning is the opposite of that expressed by the words used; usually taking the form of sarcasm or ridicule in which laudatory expressions are used to imply condemnation or contempt.
The Encyclopædia Britannica has "Non-literary irony is often called sarcasm"; while the Webster's Dictionary entry is:
Sarcasm: 1 : a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain. 2 a : a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual.
Partridge in Usage and Abusage would separate the two forms of speech completely:
Irony must not be confused with sarcasm, which is direct: sarcasm means precisely what it says, but in a sharp, caustic, ... manner.
No. I mean irony :P
I actually only grab what is useful to me. I always handed these clumsy weapons on to you.
It ate my post.
It could have been sarcasm if you meant what you said. I also know many many people who get sarcasm and Irony confused so I wanted to make sure.
Also there are some pretty cool prestige awards. I can use it to remove my negative levels
Or you pay the 1000gp per level and let Gwen do it for you.
There is that too. But what else can we spend prestige on? Could we use prestige to get that spell for Gwen?
She gets it anyway next level.
I haven't checked the next book if they continue to appear for free, but a possible thing would be to buy the necessary ioun stones.
Well the prestige spending in the players guide only allows purchasing of items up to 750GP
15 points of fame gives a 10% discount on ioun stones
I am off to dinner. Will try use my phone
I updated all character profiles and added Gwen's +1 keen longspear to the WBL list.
And you should correct Darthdy's expected WBL to level four or so as she didn't play with us for a long time. Or take her off.
I will do that once I get home
Done
Great. Everyone is almost on spot. Only Jimmy who has enough for level 8 and Tauriell who is set for level 10 are above.
I would like to end that fight with another fireball, but not as long as Niamh is standing in there. And she isn't here any more to move out.
I am sure she wouldn't mind you moving her out of harms way
Please take THIS on Abomentolor, I will even write a script that does the math for you
I have to read that when I'm fully awake.
I'm going to be now.
Good night.
Good night
Hi there
Good afternoon.
How are you?
I'm fine, thanks.
How are you?
Could be better, could be worse. How is work
Work is force multiplied by distance moved in direction of the force. As I'm not moving anywhere I guess it is no work at all.
Home then?
Yes.
PM.
Replied
Did you have a look at sacred geometry?
Yes. But Abomentolor would need a lot of ranks in engeneering to pull that off. But his mostly used metamagic feat is intensify... I need to make some calculations first.
I need to do some shopping. I guess an hour or so. Hopefully shorter.
No problem, what calculations do you need to do?
Back.
57 minutes. Well done
I thought you were back?
I read up on the feat and the calculations.
Aaaaand: It's too expensive. In the short run I would have to put my attribute increase into INT to qualify for the feat. Then I would have to put all my skill ranks into Know(engineering) to get a 50/50 chance to cast a intensified burning hands or shocking grasp as 1st level spell.
And once I hit level 9 it will be completely and utterly broken. As I'm going to cast maxmized fireballs dealing 60 damage without any roll all day long.
Sorry, I'm still slow. I didn't take the Quicken Post Metamagic Feat. :P
You get 3 ranks a level, with 3 ranks you have a 50% chance, but if you use your bonus skill to up it to 4, you get a 94% chance.
Intensified adds +1 to the level.
Burning hands is a lvl 1 spell
Therefore it is lvl 2 for the feat.
Your primes are 11, 13, 17
It is a bit expensive, yeah. But very useful. Once you get those initial 4 ranks, you add 1 each level and you get to the point of guaranteed success
Also you don't have to use it constantly.
So it can be broken at lvl 9 when we desperately need it to. But doesn't need to be all the time
It can be made cheaper. I don't get another feat until level 9. I can read the book for the +1 int. But then I would wait for level 11 for a useful metamagic feat. By then I can probably simply buy the metamagic wand.
What do you say? Is it a worthy investment with that timeline?
You get the metamagic feat as part of sacred geometry. So at lvl 9 you would have access to it for use with sacred geometry, which is better than using it without.
It also gives you 2 levels to get the ranks into knowledge engineering.
You could buy the rod I suppose.
Another concern is the casting time increase
Not really - as a sorcerer I have the full round action anyway for everything metamagic.
"(sorcerers and bards using this ability increase the spell's casting time by two categories)" So it would be 1 round instead of full round for a standard action spell
