Old Orleans, New Trouble: A Fallout Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master SinBlade06

And another 2d8 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10 for thinking that's only a little damage.

aannnnnd im dead.

Rest in Piece Scab. He had an explosive personality.

*pieces

At least he went out like he lived...full of explosives & Mac n' Cheez!

Image!

indeed.

on a related note, if Scab ever does die i have an awesome idea for a second character. but i ain't trying to kill off Scab anytime soon, heh

off to bed for now, Monroe, so i will finish our conversation in 8 hrs when i wake up

Scab, I am interested in this second character. Please, if you find the time, send me a PM with some details.

Because this game is going well, I'm gonna bring up a question that may or may not determine something about your characters in the future:

If you could give your character a voice actor, who would you choose?

This only really applies to the humans, but some Ghouls in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas have more human voices, so they can answer if they want.

Damn tricky question but I eventually settled on the voice of Caesar.

Scab would definitely have a ghoul voice, raspy and all.

I lost my note as to why I had you guys roll perception. Found it! Let's continue.

dang too bad we cant get multiple tries like in the video game. oh well.

I was considering it, but that takes away from the suspense. If you eventually succeed, what's the point of hiding stuff?

yeah. in pathfinder i guess that would be simulated by the abilities that let you roll twice and take the better, or reroll x/day, etc.

Out of town til Monday, internet is spotty up here in the boonies.

Will try to post but probably will not be able.

Sorry, feel free to bot me if needed.

I'm waiting on you guys to say you're doing something. Then we can continue.

I thought it was a move OR a standard in a surprise round? And I'm guessing Lillith would appreciate some description. How many ghouls? How far away?

Lilith can make a more or standard action during the surprise round, as can the Ghouls. Everyone else is flat-footed.

they arent even attacking us ghouls are they?

You remember when el GM Magnifico said "You're too smart, Crispy"?

Bingo.

Oh and then he runs away a little.

Can't believe I have to do this, but

BUMB

Marcel, it's your turn!

Did you know that in Britain, a cookie is called a crisp?

munch munch munch...

Are any ghouls following me?

You are currently surrounded by them, so in a sense yes.

'Surrounded' as in 'another Acrobatics check to get over them'?

Yes, another Acrobatics check to get out of the mob.

acrobatics is just part of a move so you could also attack if you wanted

I know, I'm using the other move to run away a little more.

Crispy! You're up!

Mobs act like a swarm in the following ways:

Every round you're in the mob you take damage.
They don't have reach and can only damage you if you are in the mob.
Spells or affects that affect a single target have no affect. (One creature in the mob may fail, but another will succeed.)
They go for whatever attacked them first, trying to keep the largest number of targets in danger at any given time.

Mobs act like a creature in the following ways:

They can get hurt by any weapon unless they have DR or resistances.
AoA spells have full affect unless they are intended to work on individual creatures.
They have their own Saves.
They have health.

Mobs have their own rules:

There is a limit to the maximum damage you can do per turn. (called a cap) Sure you could do maximum damage with a crit scythe, but you'll stop after a point, the idea being you can only damage one creature in the mob per turn.
Multiple attack each cap, like a Monk's Flurry or a 6th lvl Fighter's basic attack.

I hope this clears things up somewhat.

yeah unfortunately i didnt take the discovery where i can select a few squares to be unaffected by my bomb, because if i used one now we would be hurt as well.

Yeah I know.

Just a little in character banter.

Besides, unless they get some kind of "ignore dr" power, they can't really hurt me.

my bombs are treated as large for overcoming DR, so they will hurt all of us unless you have DR that isnt affected by large stuff.

My bad. I meant the ghouls. I'd rather not get blown up, to be honest.

Holy crap! 16 pages!? This is nuts!

I had no idea we'd be able to continue on this far with the game. Thank you everyone who is playing now! I'm so glad this is such a success.

I do have a question for you guys: Are you having fun? Are you enjoying this as much as you would a regular game of Pathfinder?

Is there anything you think I can improve on? Do better?

I'm fine.

I like it!

Combines the fun of fallout with Pathfinder quite nicely.

yep i am loving it. i like the pathfinder rules, the rules changes are interesting, and i love the fallout theme.

My flurry was to two of thee mob, not just one. I should have clarified

Bumpaty bumb bumb Edward!!

what were we doing for HP on level up again?

it was either 1/2 +1 + con or roll it plus your con mod

I'm glad you brought that up Tenro. Here's how heath will work:

I will give you the option of actually rolling for health here in the Discussion thread, or taking 1/2+1 HD.

1/2+1 HD is confirmed health.

Rolling yourself has a chance of getting lots of health, or very little.

Choose for yourself. If you choose to roll, post it here. If not, don't bother. After everyone's good an lvled up, we'll continue the game. Hope you guys don't mind looking for some pre-war items.

just found it. forgot there was an actual search function

FYI: I am out of town til tomorrow. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Dmpc as needed please.
