Hi Everyone!
*bobs head up and down in greeting*
I really like talking to people, are these another bunch of people to talk to? Or am I talking to myself again?
EDIT: ninja kineticists!
** spoiler omitted **...Well, I'd been meaning to post so, we're kind of on the same wavelength. Wouldn't be the first time.I wonder what wavelength-chucks would look like...
As the prime bachelor for crafting, I'd been considering Brew Potion pretty strongly. I can even take it as a Hex to save the feat. But my issue is that I also really want to pick up a bunch of other Hexes too. Flight is on top of my priority list, Sleep would be a consistent way to help out in combat early on, but I have mixed feelings about save or suck effects in general. So I need to figure out which hexes I want and when.
Gehuils feats are kind of in the air too. There's a lot I want, and crafting feats are somewhat on that list already.
Yeah, witches have feats and hexes like I have skill points for every character I've ever played: never enough!
That said, it may well behoove us if you went the Sleep Hex route... so long as the GM is okay with it. Basically, if we tend to face multiple opponents - especially if they have acid or fire a lot, or even every once in a while - it would go from being "OP" to being "necessary" to let me tank stuff while Vuram tears it apart.
Actually, I'm aware that Lio won't insta-die with those damage types, but without them, he's effectively immortal; in-character, he's terrified of it for that reason; out-of-character, having a tank that literally can't die in battle means that you and Sith-lizard don't have to expend as many resources in healing the tank, which means that you can bump up literally everything else: i.e. you two can be god casters (if you like)... or not, as needed/wanted!
The point is to do my job well without making you continually do it for me. :)
As to your thoughts on SoS... I think you've chosen the wrong class! XD
That said, while your fears are understandable, unless a GM buffs saves, generally speaking, you'll statistically do well: your at-will SoS has a DC equal to or higher than your best spells. They're also less situational than many other effects (easier to get consistent valid targets than by, say, Sneak Attack), and I feel that anything in-game is just as "SoS" in terms of, "did I do anything, or just whiff?" - including melee attacks. That said! It's a valid feeling. "All or nothing" in which the other guy rolls feels different than "some or nothing" that you do.
... of course, in a spate of irony, I tend to prefer casters and you tend to prefer melee bruisers, sooooo... XD
But I think you can grab a ton of non-SoS stuff, if you like, from the witch list, so that good?

If we were told no weapons, its no surprise we all created characters without range capabilities, since an archer is nearly useless if he does not get his hand on a bow. Only archer types that can function without equipment are kineticists, and frankly I think the free channel heals from cleric(since I don't expect CLW wands lying around) is higher priority then ranged attacks, at this point of time.
Well, yeah. Most martial types are hosed without their weapon of choice. Could make a blaster though. And a slayer/ranger or such isn't too far behind the first couple levels if they pick up a spear or something. Specially if they've put some points into strength for a composite bow. And the Zen Archer monk is an option that laughs at this problem too. There's a few options we could look at. Plus, I think by the time the other half of our party has access to class levels we ought to have some way to get ranged capabilities.
I'm just saying... guy with a horse and a gun can solo all of us. Except me. I can maybe waste a turn of his with Ear-Piercing Scream which might let the melee guys close in. Maybe.

Smashmancer has a good point, people with equipment > people without. We'll need to be really cautious until we can get our hands/claws on some weapons and armor. Even though Vuram is going to specialize with a polearm, having a big composite longbow will be excellent. Enemies take a Perception penalty for distance, and in low-magic campaigns landing a few shots early can be a *huge* advantage once things get into melee. Heck, maybe fighting at relatively long ranges will be a useful counter to the humans' firearms.
As a more immediate concern, does anyone have Knowledge [Geography] or some other means of navigating? We don't know much about the GTG's world just yet, but we'll definitely want to keep our heads down and make for the nearest region that isn't friendly to Nexoras, preferably via a route with rough terrain and lots of cover!

Well, out in the open maybe. And only right now. I fully intend to pick up a composite short bow as soon as possible, and while I may not be super suited to ranged attacks, that should be enough to prevent the scenario you describe. We just need equipment.
EDIT: ninja'd about equipment! And about geography, I am considered trained in all skills, though I only have a +1 bonus at the moment.

If they understand common, there's the command "approach" as well, but I usually won't have it prepared. And my DC sux.
As fro SOS, I have no qualms in that. Like tacticslion, I prefer casters. And at low levels it really sucks to be one because of limited spells known. Can't really blame that elven wizard for carrying a bow...
D&December is BACK, baby~! Woo~!
ALSO~!

Is GTG okay? I don't really know what the protocol is for PBPs, has anyone PM'd them?

Hey guys, sorry but I'm having some major issues keeping me from the internet lately. I'm going to be MIA for an indefinite amount of time.
You're cool, dude, take your time! We're here when you're ready!

Just asking is a good thing, in general. Fortunately he spoke with us, here, but showing compassion isn't really a bad thing!
Speaking of showing emotion: what does anyone think of D&December?!
AND WHY HAVE NONE OF YOU SIGNED UP FOR TAIG'S GIVEAWAY~! DANG IT, ALL, MAKE ME LOOOOOOOOOSE~!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Take whatever time you need. RL first, thanks for letting us know.

I wanna be the guy~!
... that gets everyone signed up to taig's giveaway!
GET HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE~!
I have to be honest, I'm not feeling the prize pool. Spreading third-party love is cool, but none of the stuff from the list is calling out to me, and I'd hate to win a contest if someone else wants it more.
Then speak out to the awesomeness of the generosity, and mention you don't want to sign up! Hype-hype-hurray~!

Just want to post a quick reminder that I'm still all sorts of interested in this game for when our GM finds himself able to continue.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Same!
Super definitely as well!
So say we all~!
I think that's all? Nah, I never forget a face... who are you guys...?

Ditto
Did the game go to inactive automatically due to inactivity, or...?
