Really? How strange.
How so?Oh Michael...
You are my absolute worst fear.
None of your business.
;p
NNNooooo!!! Defeated by the boobies. :PI've really been trying to draw this out too :)
It's been in the works for a long time. Sorry Hew :P
It's not even a love triangle ....too many points...heck, it's just a really zig-zaggy line. :)
Lyn, you could go ahead with Jeran.
We're gonna get that last thing done and then back to school. :)

Will do once I get that far. I'm wading through a lot of posts to not miss anything.

I think of it like a spider web.
One point in the middle connected to a bunch of other points. :D

You really haven't picked that up yet...?oop, sorry I meant to post under Dave, he hasn't picked up on it,
he assumes all of the "hints" you have been dropping were just you being a kitty person
he's being respectful of your culture while at the same time being confidant in his own manliness/sexuality to not make a big deal out of it
(plus the kinsky scale probably wouldn't rate him about a 1.5-2 somewhere around there)Some sense motive checks might, uh, help that along some. He is pretty easy to read when he isn't trying not to otherwise.
Just don't forget, he said he had something important to talk to you/ask you (I forget which) when you got back to the school.
Dave's sense motive sucks
I do not remember you saying this but ok

K.
I thought you'd caught up since you were doing double posts. :)
On your mark. ;)

Yeah, he did. It was during one of those times when I was really having to bite my tongue not to tell you guys to get a room....adventuring with couples is so awkward. ;P
for a while the expedition made me feel like this with dave

Hey, Tyrrin and Ghalen kept the PDA to a minimum. >_>
Hay, lyn, did you ever finish that flesh-warping table?
Right Here.
Hay, lyn, did you ever finish that flesh-warping table?
No, I completely lost track of it. Can you send it to me again? I was mostly just going to edit what you had, but I've totally lost it.
(though midori's thing came totally out of left field to me)
There were a few very subtle hints, but ya, Midori's intentionally not been letting on, for various reasons.
Wow.
That post was all the way back at page 375 of discussion.
Anyway, sent the fleshwarping tables.
Ok had my regular game tonight and came back to this rather interesting bit of reveal. I really hope I don't screw things up.
it was not at all what I thought it was.
Hm. Dalesman. Dragonstar has no melee weapons in the equipment section. Makes me sad. :(
Lyn: do you have an official ruling on Vibro-weapons? Do they exist in the Empire? There's so many iterations of them that I don't know which to use. Thoughts?
Mmk....
I think I've got a personality laied out for the charecter in mind, now I've got to Come up with a class.
And yes dami, I'm doing it backwards from normal.
Yes, you're the reason.
It's really, really hard.
NNNooooo!!! Defeated by the boobies. :PI've really been trying to draw this out too :)
It's been in the works for a long time. Sorry Hew :P
lol No problem. I saw the hints. Figured it would be fun to play with.
Alright, i, going to bed....
I can't think straight....

I think I want to hear some input from Dalesman before officially ruling since he's the Dragonstar expert consultant here. :)
Wait... I found the section on adapting melee weapons to Empire settings. Instead of Vibroblades, they're called Keenblades. All bladed melee weapons get +1 to hit, and have their threat range doubled. This stacks with all other bonuses. This is because all bladed weapons have a layer of diamond on their edges.
This might be a bit OP for this game, since it means that a Longsword's base range is 17-20, before keen.
Did you know that Keen/Improved Crit were originally intended to stack, based on an online post by Sean K Reynolds on his site years ago?
Also, while I could not point to it right this moment, there's at least one discussion that mathematically proves allowing the two to stack is not all that OP(At least, I am pretty sure that's what the convo was about, it took place a few years ago. I do know it was Crit related though). This was also for the Dicefreaks universe, which makes Avalon look like a playground full of level one commoners power wise.
It means a Scimitar has a 15-20 crit range. 10-20 with Keen.
9-20. Since 15-20 is a 6 number range, and 9-20 is a 12 number range.
I mean... in a pure Dragonstar game, it would make sense, seeing as ranged weaponry is obviously favoured... but in a game like this, where it's a mixed, it's probably OP.
I think I might keep the +1 and maybe bump the damage dice of traditional weapons by 1? So a Keenedged Longsword would be 2d6? I would like to know what the Dalesman thinks as well. :)
if that is what happens when a layer of diamonds are put on the edge what does that mean for my diamond sword?
Also, I have an answer to the laser question, at least as far as Dragonstar is concerned - there are three different kinds of 'lasers': ion, laser, and 'maser'.
Ion, or 'blaster' weapons deal electricity damage.
Laser weapons deal fire damage.
Screamer, or 'maser' weapons deal sonic damage (they fire a focused beam of sonic energy).
There's also rules for traditional projectile weaponry, but they are called 'slug throwers'... the advantage being that they are more difficult to protect against magically, since they deal piercing damage, rather than energy damage.
It's still just the edge that counts. If we use the rule at all.
either way would it affect my blade if we use those rules

good to know, anywhere I can get access to this information?
I bought the book here: Linky in PDF form.
Jaiye looks at Ehos and sees how bad of shape he's in and charges towards Silinrul, remembering her sparring lessons with Borin. She attempts to get behind him as he is trying to get up, to hang on his neck, using her arms to press against his windpipe.Opel
Frowns
"O dear, this could be a short one after all"Amber
Frowns now as well
"Shame, I was hoping some one would get gutted, then I could read the entrails, see if they are going to meet a tall dark hansom stranger in the near future"Opel
Chuckles.Then
Once that attack is over though, Ehos faints from bloodloss, sprawling on the floor, facedown in a pool of his own blood - for the second time in as many mornings.Amber
"No! to slow, I want more I"
She looks at her familiar then Opel who nods, The familiar winks out of being and appears for a moment next to Ehos hidden but touching him, then the next moment its back with her.** spoiler omitted **
Foul: What part of For Ehos only did you NOT understand, i know your just yrying to be helpful, but it's no so much you posted about some thing not addressed to you, it's the fact in your mad ruse to meta game rules wa@k you reported my whole god-darn-post in game play when a
1: use a [ spoiler =2: not look at others privet stuff ok, and then post something that shows you did you numpty. :)
3: pm rules stuff in discussion where it belongs .

Pretty sure nothing changes the template sword you have, as written... Or, perhaps Lynora might take some pity on your person if you complained enough about gross imbalances to get an update to the natural, not forged by magic/science innate ability.
At least, that's my thought on this. :)

first off I wasn't complaining, I'm not asking for pity only for this to make sense,second my arm was forged by magic, I wasn't born this way, as had been explained several times in gameplay
third, this came across as very rude
Also Dalesman, is there anywhere where Space and Star Dragons are detailed? Star Dragons deal radiation for their breath weapon :D

First off, I didn't say you /were/ complaining.
Secondly, noted, I don't keep a personal record in my head or anywhere else of character's bio's, so feel free to cut me some slack for not memorizing your person's history.
Third, I agree, your post does come off a bit rude, and you seem very touchy for something that I wrote with a smily face in it, just sharing a thought in a discussion board.
Chill, mang, we're all buddies here, right? Nothing too sacred?
Right? ;)

14-20, not 15-20.
Was my post on crit ranges missed? Just curious what others thought.
Also, is there an archery teacher?

No archery teacher that I am aware of.
Stacking crit ranges can mean very, very OP builds. It's something that can be exploited very easily. In itself, stacking crit is probably not OP, since you still have to beat the enemy's AC to count as a hit (unless you roll a nat 20)... but beyond that, yeah. I was trying to avoid talking about your post because Lyn has asked us to stay away from theorycrafting for a couple days at least. Trying to stick to facts, rather than speculation about specific builds. Sorry :)
The only reason this even came up is cause I bought the Dragonstar book xD
Ice, it's 15-20. 18-20 is three number range: 18,19,20. Double it to 6: 15,16,17,18,19,20.

Hunh.m
Wierd...At least, it is'd weird in my head.
15/20
Is 3/4
5/20 is a 1/4th chance,
Yet, 6 numbers can be rolled out of 20 numbers?
So it's 6/20? But it equals 1/4?
So confused....
My brain hurts...
That math forgets to include the 15 in the calculations, should be 14/20 for an accurate number. (Inclusive math is weird sometimes)
