Didn't I already do that?
Looks like you did! And thank you kindly.
I made sure to do that when I built my alias. I haven't played in a few years and wanted the reference as much for me as for the ST.
Good point there. Easier than cracking open the books every time I need to look something up.
I've selected eggellis's Nick Thornton as our sixth.
Glad to be here.
Welcome!
'allo!

Welcome Chloe and Nick! I love Chloe's background and I think Nick could tie in neatly with Ulf and I professionally.
Added the explanations for my knacks and spells in my profile.
Also, waking up to 40 new posts in gameplay thread... -.-
Gotta love that active thread :D
:D :D :D
Also, while my character may be a celebrity, please don't feel obligated to make that swerve the group dynamic. :)
I think it's great so far. We might geek out a few times but it'll be fun to start to see Chloe as one of the Band.
Until we get a few fights under our belts she's also super fragile. No armor, no epic stamina, no epic dexterity, mistakenly thinks that she actually knows how to use a sword. So that will also be fun. :)
Ha!
She does her own stunts though :p Dustin is super impressed, believe me.
Her own swordfighting - very specific there. She's not strong and agile enough for the gymnastics, those would be doubled by Zoë Bell or someone like that.
Aaaah got it.
Would it be possible for me to switch Death Sense with Animal Communication to have less overlap with Nick (and switch Death with Animal on Ran's Net?)
I have no problem with that
The Paizo die roller is woefully inadequate for d10 systems. =/
I made a Discord server for peeps, if anyone wants to chat about game stuff.
The picture is Mew Mew Mjölnir, which is a thing I have on my desk at work.
I think we're just going to have to do the tally ourselves since we can't have it add our auto-successes.
Also while Ulf is probably the least powered of the group, he's at least somewhat durable and fast. Though most of you legend 4's can outmatch him, he's got experience and skills to match up.
My wife was super cool and picked me up a copy of Scion: Demigod last night while she was out!
Aw. Rad wife!
And yes; I would be most grateful if you will tally and list your successes for me (including autosuccesses) when rolling for actions.
+1 for Rad Wife :)
I think we'll have a good mesh. Like Dustin said in-game, I think it's good to have a wide variety of bases covered as opposed to everyone being able to throw trucks. I think this team will be pretty damn good
For my clarity: can we take stuff from Demigod at Legend 3? I see some Epic Intelligence Knacks that I rather like.
Unless it specifically says it has a prerequisite of being a demigod or god, you can technically take from any of the scion books. some ST's may house rule against that, though. My Environmental Awareness knack is from demigod, I believe.
I would like to swap out my Perfect Memory for something else then, if that is OK.
You can use stuff from the higher books? That's neat. I only have Hero.
Also, I have holy rampage. If Dustin doesn't, and doesn't break the lock, I'll give it a go
Yeah, you can swap that out, that's fine.
Yes, unless otherwise specified, you may take any Knack that you qualify for.
How does speaking work in the context of ticks and such? If it's not Erika's turn, can she say something?
The last, and first, time I played Scion was a couple of years ago. I'm having to relearn what to do. I'll get there but I'll do some dumb stuff. I'll probably be alright after this fight. I think I did damage wrong(not that it matters this time). Does my weapon give me more dice or does it just add to the total successes?
And I meant to say above, I agree, I think we have a good mix. I also appreciate Chase switching from Death. That'll probably be the one thing that is "my" thing. I kinda went with a jack of all trades build. I'm not as strong as Dustin, as smart as Erika or Ulf, or as persuasive as Chloe but I can back up any of you.
Your weapon damage just adds dice. The calculation is:
Strength+Weapon Damage+threshold successes (from attack)+1
Then, you add epic successes from Strength after you roll. Ranged weapons only use:
Weapon Damage+Threshold successes+1
and then use epic perception for extra successes.
Also, Ulf's only got an int of 3. He's just the kind of person who expects the worst situation and plans accordingly. I might need to change his Nature to Architect, now that I've roleplayed him a bit, if that's okay with GM Ragnarok.
Ulf's specialty is noticing things and getting information from what's available to observe. Followed shortly by his marksmanship skills. He's otherwise pretty spread out there, and that's why having a group dynamic is great.
No problem with you changing your Nature. We're all sort of figuring out this stuff so through the first few encounters I've no issues with moving stuff around.
When I said "smart" I meant that with abilities included you guys will be rolling more total dice for the mental related stuff. For you I was thinking Investigation and the like. Sounds like we both are rounding out the others though.
Somehow I missed Nick commenting on Chase's questionable fashionable choice.
And I meant cargo shorts, not khakis, which is hopefully the worse choice
That's what I assumed actually.
And yes, I would say it's the worse choice ;)
Nick and Chase will have to have a discussion about the appropriate use of cowboy gear after the trolls are cleared up
Should be fun.
Something funny I just realised. In recruitment three or four people, including myself and Chloe's player, decided not to be a scion of Tyr so that others could and we ended up with no Tyr scions at all.
*boop*
Hey gang! Sorry about the lack of updates; I've been zonked out on pain meds from a back injury. Thankfully I'm all better. Updates will resume on Monday!
Oh dear, feel better soon.
I know both the agony of back pain and the depths of zonkage that the meds for them cause. Be well.
All good now :)
Are people ok with Erika telling the story?
Go ahead!
Ok!
Quick state of the game from my perspective;
Guys, I am thoroughly enjoying running this game for you all so far. Thanks all for buying into the fantastical nature of Scion and contributing such great narration so far!
It's been a bit fight heavy so far, I know. I promise that after this we'll have more things for the non-combat-focused characters to do. Additional, original content will begin to be introduced after the end of the first arc (Jesse probably knows what I'm talking about here).
If there are specific aspects of your character that you're interested in exploring, please do let me know and I will accommodate that to the best of my abilities. I do have several things planned for several of you already.
Anyway, that's all so far. Cheers!
My campaigns tab never popped up any new messages so I didn't know you guys were waiting on me, sorry. I will post in a couple hours.
Hello friends! Sorry I haven't posted much, I caught a bit of pneumonia over the holidays and had to head into the hospital for a bit. I'm all better, so posting/updates will resume!
Wowww, that's not the best! Glad to hear that you're on the mend :D
Sooo... game dead?
