The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

I would't mind,

No flying or magic items allowed.

Foul, books are sent.

if you want I could tie my wings together

I suppose you could fly, if you don't mind the SAM turrets, or rockets, or sticky grenades...

Ah, explosives.

Nothing teaches students faster than losing limbs first thing in the morning, right? ;)

I don't make the rules for explosives, I just make the explosives and use them. At least they'll get a demonstration of what's in store for them, now where's that chicken?

I JUST LOST ALL OF THE WORK I DID!!!!!! AND I CAN'T JUST COPY/PASTE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

that sucks man
pm incoming

Do what you want DB3, either way is ok with me.

almost done, just gotta do the Warlock/Wizard stuff, just gotta pick one

I JUST LOST ALL OF THE WORK I DID!!!!!! AND I CAN'T JUST COPY/PASTE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

We've all been here at least once. We feel your pain.

I fixed it, but now I need to choose between wizard and warlock, which is better?

Wizard makes more teacher sense. It also leaves open an opportunity ice and I discussed, that doesn't have much to do with you. Just to say it.
Wizard could also use fire school.

I'd say warlock.

PM incoming

I can also make magic explosives. SOVEREIGN GLUE BOMBS HO!!!!!

I think I'm gonna go with Wizard.

Plus you get spells so crafting is easier.

now for the hard part

That is?

deciding on what spells to get, do I need feats?

You could do feats. It helps with abilities. Spells aren't important cause wizard can have whatevr.

Think I'm gonna pass on feats for a while, only got a couple hours before bed, other than the feats and skills (if needed) he's done

Here I am

Why only 10?

Bombardier's a prestige class

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgyk71VRoUE have to

Then why not another ten in wizard?

trying to stay around 20

So tinker 20/wizard 10 bombardier 10?

yup

OK. I was confused. The extra 10 in the alias page helps more than you'd think. :)

welp.
there goes the challenge in adv PE

You can help me. Ice kitty doesn't like bombs. :(

let's see, max damage explosives, check. ability to make launchers/explosives anytime I want, check. ability to blow up half a planet, check. don't see how there's no challenge.

immune to fire, regeneration 10

and are you really going to send plannate killers in gym class?

ok, you're immune to fire, but what about the shrapnel, or the magic, or the 60 foot hole?

regeneration and flight

and against the magic
I HAVE MORE MAGIC
you have 5th lvl spells

I have 8th

Grim, an elementary student has 6th

either way, make your character how you want, I'm just dissapointed at the lack of chalange

Yeah, honestly, modern explosives are likely not fire damage for the most part. Obviously some fire damage, but unless their immolation based weapons, it should be a mix of damage types - shrapnel (piercing/slashing), force/sonic damage (depending on what you consider the concussive blasts), and some fire in there as well.

Plus, this is the Sim Rooms. Advaran can literally do anything he can imagine.

It isn't like every PE class is going to be a 'duel the teacher' class. That's just silly to think.

Ok...
It may be irrlevent, but here is something else about why i find cenematic battles hard.

"No blocking"

Almost all of my charecters are defensively oriented, but simply in ac.
Adon, for example, has a rather pathetic con, but his ac is pritty high.
However, ac doesn't matter for anything in cenematic, leaving the build to it's offensive ablity, whitch is below par, and should be represented as such in the cenematic fighting.

I know, its just I was having a pm discussion with him and I was telling him a way to make the concept where he can be the same level and could do literally everything (other than some of the generic wizard stuff) he can do now, and a whole lot more
I expect a little more from the combat type teachers

Concussive is force, as far as i know. Shrapnel is not as much of a problem as most would think unless within very close proximity, because the amount that hits you isn't that much.

(Note. This should be taken with a grain of salt. I am not a military expert.)

Adon - make sure your opponent knows this. Neither Sil nor Ehos I imagine have particularity high ACs in this fight, given that neither is wearing armour, or are defensively built. Ehos isn't even good in melee, he's just in there to give Jaiye an advantage, and a distraction.

Yeah, agreed, but some weapons are specifically designed for shrapnel to be the primary killing potential. Most standard grenades, for example, are fragmentation grenades. Obviously this may be different with a higher level of tech.

Also, if we're going for full realism, explosives should have a chance to stun/daze/deafen/blind (depending on the weapon), to represent being shell-shocked.

I am not combat based, I am the one who stands back and lobs explosives from the back row, I am not designed for one on one fair combat, I blow things up, that's pretty much it.

but what I was showing you was about how to better blow stuff up *pulls out hair at insanity*

I don't think stun because it wouldn't render you unable to move, just unable to respond quickly, so dazed.

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone cares to min/max their characters. :P

I prefer my way, suits MY play style, as well as MY personality

This. Think of Jeff, who made a fighter type character because it could be simple, and still effective. He just wanted to hit stuff with a hammer. He didn't need fancy tricks. He just hit stuff. Hard. And he was my favorite Charecter in that campaign.
