SEEKING THE MARK OF DEATH HOMEBREW (Inactive)

Game Master Abel JUan Guzman

Wow, big party. If I'm not mistaken, Cornelius, you should be level 2, not 1. I'm level one because I have a Level Adjustment tied to my race. You might want to put down a modifier on your profile for your actual attack, instead of just "Melee +4". Your attack should be, using the masterwork shortspear, +5, for 1d6+3 damage, before you readjust for level. From leveling up alone, that will go up to +6 to hit.

I also happened to notice that you're in the Middle-Aged age category, but have not taken the penalties/boni. Not sure if you meant to be, but I though it might be something you should be made aware of.

Something else has come to mind. You're missing a feat somewhere. As a human fighter, you would have 3 at level 1, not two.

How steep are the sides? Are all the sides the same steepness?

indeed its a 8 people party. Looks like the DM will have to trough twice the number of mobs in order to challenge such a large group.

I also shudder at the strain AoE damage will put on our healing resources.

We better play smart.

Double the mobs? It's going slow enough as it is... Guess there's the question of speed; The 13.333 encounters (which it's originally based on) is for table-top and 4 people to a particular CR, for a computer game (NeverWinter Nights) the experience is divided by 10, due to how quickly the encounters are handled and played out; But when they go a lot slower XP could be greatly increased, although it still depends on the flow of the game...

Twice, how about Thrice!

survival of the fittest Aramil?

How steep are the sides? Are all the sides the same steepness?

its starts at a 35 degree angle then drops off

Yes, but with 8 of us we should be fine.

We should be alright, I hope. I don't plan on bringing in a backup, though I've got a few ideas if I have to. Won't divulge any of that until it's necessary, though. ;)

Ralph isin't you trip bonus a little of?

its +8 (26 Str) + 4 Large => +12

or am i missing something?

It's +8 from strength, +4 From being large, +4 from Powerful build, and +1 from the trait Muscle-Bound. No problem, though.

arf completely forgot the fact that powerful built does stack with large..

i wonder if we could polymorph you into a large or taller giant how high we could make you trip go.

or if you could get you an oversized trip weapon

Alas, while being a wilder makes being a blaster mage practical, it means I suck at buffing. :(

It's alright, Laine. With even a bit of your psionic guidance, I might have a mind to pick up some psionic abilities. It works rather well with the flavor, too. Giants are psionic in Xen'drik, after all, and I've got some ties to Giants, being a Goliath and all. I'm pretty sure, by 20, I can get to Gargantuan, effectively Colossal thanks to Powerful Build. 20 ft space, 40 foot reach, and +16 Size modifier to most things. Believe it or not, I'll actually be pumping Bull Rushes more than trip, though I might have some room to fit in Combat Expertise and Improved Trip.

Also, I've already got an oversized trip weapon. My Guisarme is large, though it doesn't change size when I become large, because it's specifically stated in the ability. :)

Mmmm... Nice.

But in any case, that's a ways off. For now, I'll stick to my 20 foot reach and trips.

so you want to bull rush people away from you so that they have to go trough your reach again?

that is evilllll..

That won't happen for a while, as Bull Rushes, at this point for me, have to be initiated in the usual manner. But eventually, yes, though movement only provokes once per round per person, and this technically won't interrupt the move action. So they'll be able to continue moving, they'll just have to go farther. Tactically speaking, Ralph should be quite interesting on the battlefield. Lots of movement. :)

I have to work all weekend again so please be patient with me

tks for the heads up. do you things we will be here upon your return.

DM Darkwalker, would you remove me from this game? I still see it in my campaign list.

So where does this leave 'It'?

Well, the only way I know to do this is to mark me as a previous player. That should do the trick. Although I do not know how.

You go to campaign Info tab/thread.

Press Edit.

Go down near the bottom you have a list of all the players on the left and characters on the right.

Click on inactive next to It.

I'm going to try and redo the map... Really hard to read right now.

Attempted map, exact locations of stuff I'm not entirely sure... If the DM wants I can update token locations and post the new map... could also PM him so he posts it in the IC too...

Maybe it will make more sense..?

Final layout?
Animation-movements?

Wow, nice David. Very nice animations.

impressive indeed

Just tried to rebuild it via IC explanations, mixed with maps. The animation isn't that good (involving lots of screen captures), but it's better than nothing.

DM would you mind putting the link for the battle map on top of the campaign info thread that way no one will have to go digging into the post to have a look at it?

I am going to be away due to a death in my family

Sorry to hear about your loss. Take what time you need. Real life always comes before games, and we'll be here when you feel you're ready to come back.

yup take your time and condolences.

Alas, you may want to take this time to recruit new members, or simply continue as you wish. I will be withdrawing, so Vajra and Laine will not be participating. My apologies.

i am still continuing.

Mmmm... Losing two more players... Just the slow passage of time I guess...

Well, it's one player, two characters. Unfortunate, in any case.

Ralph is in this for the long haul, in any case.

Thank you all I am back and lets play

indeed Game On

This is starting to take entirely too long...

I'm considering withdrawing.

Perhaps to consider is if there's going to be a battle, determine when everyone can be on at the same time for say 6 hours and go through all immediate fights during that time and post the results here, even if it takes a couple weeks to get everyone to align up (since that is faster than taking two months...)

David, understand that this fight is the second or third fight that I have known of in this campaign, and still feel kinda of jerked around.

If anyone wants a more stable game PM me.

I am officially withdrawing. Please put me under the inactive players, in the campaign tab.

Both Kirren and Aramil.

I know, I read through the entire thread shortly after I joined, and I've been here now 2 months, all of it pretty much in this single fight.

I'm going to withdraw as well... The pace is just a little too slow to try and keep track of on a daily basis (as I've been doing), and I've pretty much forgotten everything about him except for the notes I have on my sheet.

I hope for the best, but I can't keep going like this.

I, too, think I'll be dropping out.

Sorry to hear this going to inactive this game
