GM,
With her background, would you allow it if Natalia "invents" something during the AP?
I'd describe details, required materials and costs of course.
So long as everything's done by the item creation rules, then yes we could probably work it out. fits your backstory well too;)
| jimibones83 |
No, but casting a spell provokes AoO. However, touch spells can be cast and then held in your hand, so you can cast it from safety, then move in and make your touch attack.
You can also cast defensively, but if you fail your concentration check then the spell fails but still uses up your daily slot.

No sweat, my 1st game as DM has had a rough start too.
I tossed something akin to a flashbang through a window, storywise fluffing that since they don't know it was combat related they'd not do anything at all and i got comments on that they should only be blinded. :P
We learn as we go no?
| Natalia Irvington |
Well i'll try to copy the good points of games i play a pc in to my own game. Asking in the advice section helps too.
Buuuutt.......make it fun, make surprises.
A disabled thief NPC of mine suddenly swallowed something as his only action and went limp. Now he's declared a nutjob after waking in the cells.
Asking the players if there's background wise stuff they'd like to see in game is also a fun thing. I asked each of them and with their responses i can make encounters that go with their personal motivations or backgrounds.
Or if the players are speculating amongst themselves you could get new ideas for your game too.

I'd be very curious to hear about your experience running a PBP game. I, too, run two games live. What prompted you to take on more responsibility? Are you swimming in extra time? :-)
| jimibones83 |
actually i kinda am. thats exactly why i did it as well. i lost my job back in november and my fiance found a really good one before i did. we have 4 kids so its literally more feasible for one of us to stay home all day then it is to pay a day care. i have a pretty nice little shop here at home that i work out of a bit but since thats on my own time then it doesnt get in the way, and nothings stopping me from taking a break to check the game.
| jimibones83 |
yes I'm actually rather enjoying it. And actually, once I get a new generator I predict I'll be making about the same amount of money out of my home shop that I was making before. Working up the cash for a $2,000 generator while your not really working is a tedious process though. But even so, I'm enjoying the time with the kids quite a bit.

Color Spray:
2 HD or less: The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)
Goblin Commando CR 1
XP 400
Goblin ranger 2
NE Small humanoid (goblinoid)
Init +3; Senses darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +6
Just taking this from d20. Ranger 2, it has 2 HD, so tell me if im wrong, but color spray would in that case knock the bugger out.
| jimibones83 |
I started to use that one too at the beginning of the encounter but then I realized then one in the book is different, but he's still under 2hd. He is knocked out. The only one able to act right now is goblin 3
first color spray cone here, the second one specifically targeted the commando, which was to far away from the other goblin to be covered by the same cone. if i misinterpreted targets of the first cone i apologise, but those are the goblins i made saves for.
i will leave the red circle in the folder so that you can show me your own targets and cone sizes. all you have to do is grab it above and drag it down to where you want it

I believe this is incorrect as it would have 2 HD from ranger, plus its additional 1 racial hit dice. Making it a 3 HD creature.
Regardless, what a brutal encounter lol. That one goblin I don't think rolled lower than like 16 the whole time.
| jimibones83 |
nope, Anniversary edition page 18 goblin commando
I know, I thought it strange too, but here's a pic. I had something like this happen with a DSP book too a couple months ago. One of my players had a power that was way op and when we looked into it I found that his print was different than mine, mine had been revised but his had not. I dont know which goblin is correct so I used the easier one once i noticed
Dont mind my painted toenails in pic 2 lol, my girls got me while i was dozed off
| jimibones83 |
@Vire That use of intimidate is actually a standard action, so I'm going to ignore it and apply the charge, which kills it.
@Everyone The other goblin is easily dealt with as he's pretty much helpless for several more rounds. Vanea will stabilize with the others. I'm just about to start my Thursday game here at home so I will get back with what happens next this evening.
| Vire Locke |
Yeah that's really strange the one I'm looking at Is most certainly 3 HD.
Ah ok, I saw Vanea taunt one earlier in the thread to try to provoke it. I figured it was a Bluff rule I was unaware of. Also don't forget, that goblin dead or not took a swing at me earlier when I moved which you've yet to take against me, with a crit I could actually be unconscious right now.

LOL! I saw that but I wasn't going to say anything. To each his own! :-)

I'm looking back but I'm a little lost as to which goblin missed what. Since it's just me that missed something, and I cant even see what it was, we can just let it go:) thanx for trying to point it out though. honesty is my favorite attribute!
| Blue and Nu |
As for jimibones's question, I don't really know of any online loot tracker and I'm not particularly finicky about how we do it. Does anyone have a suggestion?
| Vanea Lothmatis |
I didn't grope casually. I grope with style. I do everything with style.^^
And i'm a looooong way from being a "kid".
That said, I don't want for anyone to feel uneasy from my character's antics, so if you want me to tone down, just say so. It's my first time playing a Calistrian priest, and they are no strangers to the delights of the flesh, or so i've read..
| Natalia Irvington |
Don't misunderstand, i laughed reading that. And i was jokingly talking to any actual kids reading this.
I think you should keep such an approach maybe as a diplomacy in some cases.
Another game i'm in has also has a cleric of Calistria, but she openly admits she's a, shall we say, "refined" lady of the pleasures.
| Blue and Nu |
Didn't bother me none.
Another OOC: Blue didn't pick up the masterwork goblin weapon. It's probably the most valuable thing there but he finds it distasteful.
