Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

Besides, everyone knows it only takes 2-3 seconds to mine diamond. And that's with an iron pick!

Its only a diamond like substance Edward, not true diamond is how she described it ( I think, and without the twilight reference )

But, seriously, guys, go make a thread to discuss this stuff. It' shota be annoying for Lyn to come back and see pages of stuff that could have been in another thread with a lot more people chipping in.

I listed something that needs to be discussed HERE.

This impacts THIS game so I'm keeping it here

Right: and you didn't like the outcome of that discussion (that DR and hardness were separate conceptually).

Now: there could be a corner case where something should apply, but doesn't in the rules.

PM someone if you don't want to reveal it, but the consensus here is that DR and hardness are conceptually separate things.

PC. Xbox is for children that are too lazy to use keyboard, mice and an Xbox controller on a real man's rig!

Ziiiing again!

Fairly certain this was a public discussion some 400 pages back or something. I vaguely remember it.

I remember her saying not to use limbs/organs as payment as it squicked her out too much but That's it

O.o there hadn't been a decision by the grand high hancho... just discussion.

And I agree, A Dr/ magic shouldn't be bypassed except by magic, but if I have a Dr 1/- from tough skin, why wont adamant cut through it?

This is also to help my pet project I'm trying to make to entertain all the combat min Max freaks

See that /- following your DR 1?

That means nothing cuts through it. Welcome to the game rule design. Period, end of discussion.

:)

EDIT: Technically you /could/ cut through it, but all you do is reduce the damage (hence the term, Damage Reduction, or DR) by 1. :) Very simple premise.


Because DR is /not/ hard skin! Maybe that 1/- is the ability jto ignore pain, or the ability to slightly close small wounds, or a /myriad/ of other things that DR covers that are NOT related to the 'hardness' of said thing.

The /has/ been a consensus among /everyone/ but you to either: Let it go, or: follow the rules.

Seriously, it's like you don't read anything that other people saying.

At this point, you're beating a dead horse.

Well, he is 'Death Keeper' (of Horses?) Heh.

Just kidding on this post, honest. :) :D ;P

Gods I hate people who do that....

I want to try to bend the rules to make up for an oversight in the rules....

Reply... " see the rules"

Facepalm.

If the skin is that hard... it wont move... adamantine would/should ignore "hardness" including Dr from hard skin...

And that without the necromancic ability to actually make that horse still be useful


Alright, you wanna talk real world mechanics?

Hardness is also called /brittleness/. Diamonds are very hard, but also very brittle. This is the /scientific/ definition of hardness. This is why, for example,

Now.

Skin can be 'tough' without being 'hard': it can bend, it can absorb impact, it can heal quickly, it can even be rubbery. There are /so/ many ways this can work without it being 'hard'

You agree with this, yes?

It is /not/.

I repeat.

NOT.

An oversight in the rules. They are conceptually different things.

There are creatures with Hardness instead of DR for a reason. If you believe that the creature you are working should have hardness instead of DR, then PM someone about it.

Okay....

Indulge me for 2 seconds. Please?

When in the description of a bullette it says something similar to "has very hard skin"

Not it closes small wounds or can't feel them that it has hardskin.

Under these specific circumstances where is the difference between very hard skin and a rock

Well, one has DR the other has Hardness. :)

EDIT: That is, in the Pathfinder system.

MORE EDITS: It's how the thing is stated out that matters.

Thank you. This is Very helpful.

I will ignore your tone where you seemed to regard me as an idiot.

This is what I needed thank you

Question...
How does being on fire give me DR?

Because you're really happy to be on fire.

Cause the rules say you have DR when on fire.

It's magic, joy as Icehawk wrote, or you're resisting the savagery of any incoming 'attack', subconsciously and psionically before it hits your actual 'damaging' structure.

In short, many varied reasons, be creative and make one up appropriate to your story.

Makes enough sense, given that it's just DR 2
Would that also explain the +4 to cha?

Actually, capt wombat, i wasn't discussing settro.
That was lord foul.

Does anyone recall where I was?


Last Gameplay post from Treisdan was when he was speaking with Vai in the infirmary.


I don't care, it was meant for all you in game thread rules chatter-nicks, Lynora and others have asked you time and again NOT to start a rules chatter ['blue posts]' about rules stuff in GAME PLAY,

What part of that do you not understand ?

It's like your going out of your way to fill Lynora's time with rules posts after you have been asked not to!

knock it off mu-kay

You have been told what to do, bring it here, if short,
if not make your own thread some place and have a rules
Or better still use the PM system.

That's all that's being asked of you.

[bit of frustration at the lack of compliance to a simple request]


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

But i didn't do it!
Settro had no part in that argument.


Does anyone that was on the rooftops have magic sense that were active when the drink changed?

We had a really strong performance. One other band in our class scares me. I think at least 2nd out of 4.

On Dr.
I made a small accident.
Warlock doesn't give both a bigger blanket and higher Dr. Just one or the other.
I now have DR2/- and cold immunity and fire vulnerability.
Everything else on Warlock is Su so I'm going to assume the Dr is even though it's not listed with a label.

Technically, it was a 'flavor' thing, not a 'rules' thing./joke.

If you refer to Detect Magic, there are some rules and guides on lingering auras if relevant.

:points to website:


I know about that. I'm trying to keep my story consistent. I just need to know if they had detects up then.
It makes sense to me because I know what's going on. Not so much if you don't have all the details.


None of the people present did - but Vare will be searching for auras or lingering auras both, assuming all goes as planned.


Im'ma wait for Bradleys placement if y'all don't mind.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

I think its best for any discussion, rules wise, chatter, etc, that goes beyond one post, and one response, should move either here, or into PMs. I try to always do that, though I am unsure I always do.


FIRST PLACE IN OUR CLASS!!!!!!!♪♪♪♪♪♪♪


Phone dead. Out 4 a bit.
Anyone gonna respond in Dom room?


Sorry to say Wombat... but Kuros isn't really a mess. There are a few destroyed/damaged buildings from a fire yesterday... But that's about it.

Also, The Empire isn't super common knowledge on Agartha, and the Resistance doesn't operate there either really.

Would make sense for him to be off planet thoygh, in another system.


Not mess as in wrecked mess is in lack of order FCD, :)
Hes from a LN city

Hes asking not telling about the Empire

Also his back story covers V PMs with the GM bring him in, knows, its why he's on planet, with a link to the Resistance, it should play out with the GM-PC etc.

My dog is awesome.
She just caught a mosquito/fly (small. Couldn't tell) out of midair, and smacked it around her mouth for a while until she managed to swallow it.
^_^
I love my dog.


How many skill points are you folks clocking on your Gestalted chars, and Feats?

Kind of curious if I did my math wrong, looking to compare with others in play, or is that part of rules light as well?


only one side not Double for Skills Points so pick best from two.

Level Feats as race, then if a class gives feats etc add them

Even coated in diamond, that blade is going to take a lot for practice to use properly, because it will "fight" you when you hit someone.

Defiantly not too much of a problem with your STR though.

Dark Archive

I have an idea, but I want to introduce it in character


Its also a weapon basically everyone in warhammer owns...seriously, I bet they'd give toddlers a fake foam version to play with...although orks probably use real, though horribly unstable versions

Really? Warhammer seems odd to me.

It was a bit odd to me at first considering the first thing I knew about it was an image of a commandant yelling "Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!"

...in a tank...

...with SIX cannons on it
