That's wonderful. Thanks for this opportunity. :-)
Spells are done. Working on inventory. I think I have all the abilities, etc. done.
Alright wareagle...I believe I'm done. Weapons, feats, skills, spells, traits...is this all acceptable?
ya that looks fine but you don't have to keep track of weight or encumbrance.
hey guys just checking in will pop into the gameplay tomorrow( wife is making me watch a movie with her =p) but i am looking forward to the game and look forward to grouping with you all
Timeline meant timezones sorry didn't notice that
CST
Mountain time zone. It is 5:30 here.
EST. I'm around at odd times, and my work schedule leaves a lot of paperwork time that is easily distracted by RPing. :)
GMT, here. It means you all post during my nighttime, unfortunately, but I should manage regular posting.
EST here i think thats like GMT -4 or something like that can post at least once a day mostly when i get home can sometimes get a post in during work but few and far between.
Hey dm would that 1000g be in addition to what we started with? ( since i had chosen the rich parents trait)
Edit: was looking at list of player/ characters and noticed neither my character nor my name were listed but says in recruitment thread that i am in. just want to make sure
still waiting on posts from Vaniel and Chandos in gameplay thread.
its been like 2 + years since i last did a pbp here and i think they changed some stuff around... would explain why i didnt know =P anywho just got home and catching up now will have something posted in a few
Sorry I was out for a bit. My daughter had surgery, so I was off the grid.

I plan to be quite brutal in combat so characters may die or be crippled also I plan on making this adventure be VERY long may take you to level 18 or higher.

Cripes. Am I alone in spotting a slight dichotomy here, though? ;-)
Well, whatever the case, I'm very pleased to be in at the start, and hope things pan out nicely. I'm looking forward to it. :-D
Ooh, one more thing, I think I equipped Mel with 105gp or something, should I try to do it again with 1,000gp?
Mel, i believe 1,000 GP is what the rest of us used, so unless I am corrected...go for it.
I initially equipped pretty low too. I spent some money, but still have like 400gp left. Any suggestions?
Also, he can use any elven weapon, so I'd like to improve on this sword, but I dont know how. It makes sense that he'd start with something elven, coming from his home. I dont see any resources for elven weapons or anything.
I took a bunch of cash myself, lol. Not relying on weapons that much wasn't too sure what to spend it on. Probably should've got a wand or something.
Not sure what to say about the sword. There's the Elven Curved Blade (a 2hander, 1d10 with a 18-20 crit), but that's about it that I know of.
I knew I was forgetting something...
Oro - I actually always hated the idea of "elven" swords, because it always felt statted as "cooler than a longsword, like elves are cooler than humans". I call it the Legolas effect. "I can walk on snow. I don't get drunk. I do everything effortlessly." Which to me always comes across as boring. No weaknesses. Always gets the cooler gear, etc.
Now that is not to say I don't like elves, just not their traditional presentation. Perhaps a weapon from Dr35d:38.
Perfectly balanced weapon (+1 bonus to AC when taking a total defense action) +100 GP cost.
Blood groove (weight reduced by 20% or .5 lb. and Hardness +2) +100 GP
Razor sharp (+1 dmg) +1,000 GP.
Anyway, whatever you do choose, it'll likely be fun. Just thought I'd offer up options. :)
Hah. I didnt understand anything past the bit about elves.
With that being said, I agree. Honestly, the whole idea of elves strikes me as annoying. I'm trying to play Oro as being inexperienced and sheltered, less as an aloof a-hole elf. I just wanted something cool to spend my excess money on. :)

Elves, anything you can do. They can do better
You could have, say, a MW perfectly balanced, razor sharp cold iron elven curve blade with a blood groove (just called your sword, obviously), for a cost of 1,660 GP. It's stats would be +1 to attack, 1d10+1 dmg (before STR) 18/x2, Slashing, 5.6 lbs., Hardness 12 HP 30, and it would increase your AC by one when you chose to fight in total defense.
By comparison, the curve blade would normally have dmg 1d10, 7 lbs, no bonus to defense, Hardness 10 and HP 10.
Just to give an example...
:)
Wareagle, what is your e-mail. I have a tidbit I've been working on you may get a smile out of.
email: jonas.wareagle@live.com
I sent you an e-, Wareagle.
I will. I have considered even trimming some of the character dialogue to make it more "conversation" and less "speeches", but for now I will leave it as is. I don't have a way to share the .pdf with the group, though.
Hey everybody am opening ANOTHER pbp if your interested you can find the recruitment thread here
If Krokolam doesn't fancy coming on this trip, perhaps he's staying behind to look after his various mounts -- they'd not be comfortable in a small boat anyway.
i am sorry to say this but as of right now i must pull from the game....have a family emergency come up and as it looks going to be away at least a month maybe more. As things change i will let you all know. I've had a blast so far with the rp. hope to see you all sooner than later. Wareagle thanks again for the opportunity to play and if things change would like to rejoin but as now i dont see that happening good luck all. hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday and new year
thanks again
Nasserath/ Vaniel
Sorry to hear it. Hopefully nothing too serious and everything works out. Best of luck, and happy holidays!
Sorry I've been busy lately. I have had several production meetings for our upcoming film. (And am likely to for the next...oh, year, I don't know, lol.) But I always check back.
Greetings all Firesnap here
Gnome Cleric OF Brigh (Artifice/Fire Domains)
Firesnap was born the son of a career Militia man. At a young age, he would love to hang out with dad on the job. Tho frowned upon by his superiors, attacks against the town were far and infrequent so they let the lad hang out with his dad, who just happened to be their best siege engine expert. So dad would take his son on the inspections of towns Engines as few as they were and would point out to him the important things to look for to keep them running. Firesnap enjoyed these days with dad and took notes on things when he could, hoping to one day follow in his footsteps. Then one day when he was 11 the town was attacked by goblins and his father was killed. The clerics of Brigh, found his knowledge of siege engines amazing, so they took him in as it seemed fit for a son of a hero the town and they wanted to pick his brain for all the secrets his dad had passed on to him. Firesnap earned his name at church as he grew adept at creating fire, once setting several pews on fire accidentally. Firesnap tries to use the churches knowledge of artificng to help improve his knowledge of siege weapons. Firesnap volunteers to help to inspect the siege engines his dad loved in his spare time,and his advice is always welcome by the local militia.

Lets just say the new recruits have been with the group since the start maybe they were just really silent until now :)
K Firesnap you are good to go.
Does this count as dim light, and I get the dbl distance bonus to sight?
Also, dont want to go on w/out the others. :)
Damn, I just realized I f-ed up my build. Is it too late to switch a feat out? I dont need improved init. Rather have the hp boost from toughness.
Hello guys, I arrived kind of late but better later then never :P
welcome. :)
Sure oropher.
K, then that puts my init at a 21, or 1 ahead of Mel. :)
Hello guys, I arrived kind of late but better later then never :P
Just in time for our picnic! ;-)
