I read through the discussion/gameplay thread for the game you mentioned, but I think I'm going to pass on the opportunity. I'd love to play a bard, and I have plenty of time for the holidays. But 1) I'm about where I want to be on PbP, and 2) Eventually things will pick up, and in less than 365 days I predict I'll be glad I made the decision not to join another.
Thanks for the advertising though!
No worries.
The rest of the party: If I sound distracted, that’s because I am. Someone’s advertising for a Legacy of Fire recruitment on a 15 point buy. With wounds and vigor and armor as DR rules. I’m of course trying to see what I can come up with and it’s distracting me. Feat taxes are in play, so I’m thinking eidolon going stalwart route – since power attack is automatically given. If need be, eidolons can pick up weapons for DR anyway.
Adamantium full plate fighter vmc barb with armor DR ability and imp stalwart feat. Done.
For barb abilities do dragon totem for Dr as energy resist.
With a 15 point buy? Martial class with a 15 point buy, really? ><
Besides for AP work, what makes YOU think you'll get that suit of adamantine full plate...
Besides for VMC barbarian:
Rage Power: At 11th level, she gains a rage power. For the purpose of which rage powers she can select, her effective barbarian level is equal to 1/2 her character level, but for the purpose of the rage power’s effect, her effective barbarian level is equal to her full character level.
Damage Reduction: At 15th level, she gains DR 3/—.
Rage powers and damage reduction comes very late. I suspect the game may not even last that long considering how board PBPs tend to fizzle out.
Don't want to clutter up game thread
As a standard action once per minute, a basidirond can release a cloud of invisible spores in a 20-foot radius. All creatures within the area must succeed on a Fortitude save or be affected by powerful hallucinations as long as they remain in the cloud plus 1d4 rounds after leaving the area. A new save must be made each round a creature remains within the affected area. A hallucination cloud persists for 5 rounds before dispersing—a strong wind causes it to disperse immediately. The save DC is Constitution-based. To determine what hallucination is suffered each round, roll 1d6 and consult the following table.
d6 Hallucination
1.You’re sinking in quicksand! Fall prone and spend 1 round flailing your arms and legs as if trying to swim.
2.Attacked by a swarm of spiders! Spend a full round action to attack the floor near you with your weapon.
3.An item you hold has turned into a viper! Drop it and flee from the item at top speed for 1 round.
4.You’re suffocating! Stand in place, hold your breath, and clutch at your throat for 1 round.
5.You’ve shrunk to 1/10th your normal size! Take no actions for 1 round and monsters won’t see you.
6.You’re melting! Grasp hold of yourself in an attempt to hold yourself together, and take no actions for 1 round.
Lol
The problem are the spores are already in the air so freezing the basirond won't help.
I helped you roll your saves so you're good this round.
I can hold my breath for 14 rounds while attacking. I don't expect it to actually stop the spores but hey, it's free.
Also, we might want to run away soon.
Sorry it's like cloudkill. Holding your breath doesn't help.
Don't I continue tripping for as long as the cloud remains + 1d4 rounds? And isn't the cloud there from round one since it lingers 5 rounds?
Hmm the way I read it was every round in the cloud you make a save. If you do, nothing happens. If you fail, you try again next round.
The cloud is there from round 1.
Once you leave the cloud then the effects will wear off in 1d4 rounds.
Or were the effects supposed to be once you fail, you trip for 1d4 rounds, which would amuse me :P
I think you're probably right about it.
It is every round you get a save. The cloud lasts 5rounds plus affects you for 1d4 rounds after leaving it (or after it dissipates).
So if you stood in it would make 5 saves plus 1d4 more saves.
At least that's how it reads to me and I'm sticking to it lol
That's because you passed. If you failed after first one you wouldn't get another save.
Well - using Leonard's interpretation.
Could be. Just sounds a bit strange to have potentially 9 rounds aoe with no additional save (if you don't flee your weapon you'd stay in the cloud so 5+1d4 rounds of shut down).
The creature can cloud only once/min anyway, so you still have a round to do something. Besides, after 1 min stagger it couldn't chase up to you guys anyway.
That was a very interesting trip.
Well I'm going here after today's half day work so...heh :P
Still waiting for Leonard and Vincent.
Just rp gathering up the loots, don't need it.
You guys are really being mean to poor Seamus :(
I wonder how he'll react.
Also, I'm planning on going to sleep very soon and waking up early, and will have a hard ish time posting today.
He'll forgive you meanies. He's got a big heart.
And Vincent- you're not Haley
Cool!
Sorry I was on my paws for 5 hours straight yesterday and walked all the way from siloso beach to Harbourfront MRT station because the Sentosa express was packed after the Wings of Time show. Must have been more tired then I thought so after I went to catch up with the Z monster, I woke up later then usual this morning.
I don't think I've been too cranky(all are equal before the law and all that).
And I owe a duty to the players to do the best job I can do running the AP.
I even tell you all my shortcomings =)
Geez as the days go by I begin to think I more and more resemble an inevitable
|
Well, I wasn't trying to imply that you *had* been cranky; more that it was a situation I was happy to have avoided by you being well-rested ;-)
Heh. Now, now - if you were an inevitable, you wouldn't be interested in eating and sleeping, which is demonstrably not true; perhaps you just have the Resolute template...? :-P
Damnit. But I like inevitables...
Ya I sort of need quite a bit of sleep. Again I probably make it up that when I'm awake I'm literally zipping all over the place.
Resolute template: I do NOT have resist cold. I am actually very vulnerable to cold weather. It makes me lethargic....
I could argue for resist fire - since my fingers are really slightly heat resistant from holding too many hot pots. And walking in the sunshine - the heat doesn't bother me.
The light does, but that's a different story. I have sunlight sensitivity, one of my canines is pointed, and I like the taste of blood.
I don't eat raw garlic(but I'll happily eat it cooked), and yes you can brandish a holy symbol at me and it wouldn't do anything. I might grab it if its shiny....
Maybe dhampir...though I don't even get darkvision =( Shucks.
Acid resistance...dunno. Never tested that one out.
DR 5/chaos sounds good though=)
As I was reading that last post, I said to myself, ooh, one of my panines is cointed...oh sh!t. I thought it was pretty funny, as I'd just woken up.
Also, you can't be an inevitable and a cat at the same time.
Oh yes you can be an inevitable and a cat at the same time, hell, Doctor Eggman actually has a device for it.
Tomorrow I'm off running again.
I actually do not like sandwiches.
Also, that's clearly a dog, which is much inferior and thus much less interesting.
Dogs do not have such long tails. It's a cat.
Giving Howard special permission to make an injection spear to deliver potions...to allies only.
Helping people out is always a good thing!
I dunno, the face looks big and is shaped like a dog's face. I'm not really well versed in dogs, but there's probably a breed with long tails.
Huh, I wonder how you could weaponize potions if you were allowed to deliver them to enemies?
If dogs have long tails, they're huskies and their tails are bushy and not shaped like a snake.
Or if they have snake like tails, they have floppy ears, not pointed ears.
Not quite weaponzing potions but pretty close
Now if Howard's injection spear gave no save, you could practically be injecting
blur whinnis into bad guys!
Howard knows more cheese then I do and I know that as well =D
I occasionally can see what he's trying to get to, but not all the time.
I'm repeating myself but Howard and I share certain similarities...
Alchemist can convert to a different form like inhaled or contact.
I do not know any ability that lets you convert it to a different form. PicsLinks or it didn't happen.
No seriously: One of the people I used to run PFS for told me that he could add his cha modifier to his fireball damage. I told him, No, you can't do that. Tell me which ability lets you do that.
I told him a couple of ways to add damage modifier to his fireball - crossblooded, goblin fire drums..
So we got into a nice rules discussion, and he finally realized he mixed up with 5e, because in 5e many classes get to add their casting stat modifier to the damage done by cantrips.
Sitting around waiting for Leonard.
Sorry, I fell asleep when I wasn't supposed to, and also slept through dinner.
