JZ's Carrion Crown - COMPLETE! (Inactive)

Game Master JamZilla

I agree with this 100% I will say if I don't post in the time limit post for me and make me move to the closet guy and use my energy ray on him as standard for combats

Ye that's cool j. we need to keep it all moving

Ok

Always happy for you to post for me during combat

Agree. Happy for you to post for me if needs be.

@Caradwen

For me its my max hp I don't update it during fights I post what hp i'm on instead

It's my max hp too. When injured, I post my current hp.

Guys, Ikkaky has had to drop out which leaves us with two potential problems;

1 - what to do with the character?
2 - the lack of a front-line fighter.

I have a couple of ideas about the first thing but I'll leave it up to you to discuss the second.

I can imagine three things regarding point 2:

- Do nothing :D
- Recruit someone
- One of us re-rolls?

I would rather not recruit someone. Having six people means I can largely up the challenges and loot by 50% which is easier than with seven where things get awkward.

I will be using the rules from Ultimate Campaign for players to retrain various aspects of their character going forward but since we are still so close to the beginning of the Path, if anyone wants to redesign their character as a front-liner then go for it. I will allow people to redesign any aspect of their character as a one-time only deal either now or at the point of leveling up to 2.

Caradwen, I know you were originally interested in playing a fighter for example.

J. My vote:
1 - Magistrate turns up and he goes to jail.
2 - Leave the party as is - definitley makes for an interesting challenge!

Good exit for Ikkaku

I may look at changing my guy possibly

Well let me know if you do change before you do any more knowledge checks.

I'd prefer people kept the same broad role in the party so Davos could change from wizard to magus for example but let me know what you want to do and we'll discuss it.

My guy will be mostly on the front line, I guess it depends more on whether everyone else is happy with their character, if not now is the time to change or tweak them. I will be staying as I am, no changes.

I have been wanting to play a Barbarian for ages... :D

J. I'm goona role play this the next day (in game) anyway, but will the forge be able to make Kama? It's a simple weapon much like a sickle so they may be able to. After his brush with Zombies, Sebastian has a sudden liking for blades!

Thats fine mate. As you say its a farming implement which is all she (Jorfa the Dwarven smith) has call to make at the moment so modifying the cutting edge will be a nice change

And joining two of them wih a length of chain makes it a double chained version. Pretty simple tool, but effective. Will you allow if though? It is a monk weapon in the Eastern Weapons list.

Yeah talk her through it and she can turn her hand to it. Does using it as a double weapon incur two weapon fighting penalties?

Don't know. I'll check. If it does I'll just ask for two kama.

I just checked out the chain kama, Seb and you aren't proficient with it. Being a monk weapon means you can use it to flurry but you still need to take exotic weapon proficiency to use it effectively. See the FAQ below;

If a weapon is specified as a monk weapon, does that mean that monks are automatically proficient with that weapon?

No. It means that they can use this weapon while using flurry of blows. It does not mean that it is added to the list of weapons that a monk is proficient with, unless the weapon description says otherwise.

So I would just buy a kama personally.

Since we are keeping the group as it is, my Barbarian will stay in his mountain home for the time being - Caradwen will roll into the Town Hall in a couple of minutes.

I am not tied down by any crazy desire to change characters - the barbarian frontliners is something I've wanted to try for a long time now, and whenever I find a good GM, the urge returns :D

whenever I find a good GM...

+20 hero points :-)

In all seriousness, if you want to change and retool Cara as a barbarian, thats fine or indeed roll a new guy. Ill find a way to get him in.

Nonono, I'll take those 20 hero points - its fine :D

It is not a case of wanting to change and rebuild Caradwen - it was a simple matter of crunching her to something else I ALSO would like to play, while at the same time meeting a better balance for the group.

Thats cool, just wanted you to know the option was there

Hello, i'm back i'll be posting a lot more now.

This talk about players leaving, we don't really have a proper frontliner but i think Sebastiane and Jon should work out if after a few fights it's not we'll just have to deal with it ingame.

Olav switching to a fighter. Im looking to introduce him this week.

Olav, when you get a chance to roll your new guy, let me know his backstory and I'll think about how to get him in.

Olav, if it is ok to give you my opinion on this, I would like to say two things - on the one hand I was really liking the way you were building up your character, on the other hand... I think we are very worse off trading a sorcerer for a fighter.... Waaaaaay worse.

So I would rather you would not change, I thought we were discussing this before doing any changes :/

I talked this through with Jamie sorry not to include you in it but I'm having some personal problems so I'm going a fight because they are much easier for me and Jamie to run if he has to run my guy for me for a while

Also this is my my new guy gotta add a lot but its a start

Guy full made so you can bring me when ever you are ready jam

J. Can't see reference.to trust point earned for doing the potion testing job. Have you added it to our total?

I have. There is also an additional point to be added from the toad job you did

Remember the posting periods guys. I need everyone to post by 2pm and then again by 11pm. Thanks.

nothing for me to post j until everyone returns to the house in the evening

J. Do you want to RP my return to Jominda with the toads? Or shall I just return to the house? Won't post tonight now. Be tomorrow morning.

Whatever you want to do mate. We not in a crazy rush so thats fine. With cara and Markus knowledge results the game is afoot!

Guys, just wanted to give you a heads up - During the next two weeks, my posting will probably be sparse, if any at all.

I am going on vacations with the family from the 25th to the 28th August. Then I am back for a couple of days, and off again from the 1st to the 8th September.

I will try to drop a line from my phone every once in a while, but I cannot guarantee it.

No problem, have a good time ;)

Enjoy yourself cara.

That was a damn fail, i'll have to post tomorrow ok.

Yeah. Have a good break. See you when you get back.

So, how do we sort out this constitution drain then?

Its only damage luckily so it comes back at a rate of one point per day, assuming you get rest. Only those who got bitten twice will have any damage remaining

Enjoyed that fight! Will level up later.

Pretty straight forward affair. It's the mummy in the sarcophagus that's the real challenge here.

Noooooooo!! I need your hero lab to back up my guy, but I have levelled him up now

Exciting times, level two!

I'm old school, so here's my Hp for levelling up: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
