oh i know. i was just summing up everyones statements. wasnt implying anything by it. your cool keelix. no worries.
So... what do we do about the house rules for opposed Concentration checks? Do we still add Composure skill scores to those roles or not? Because if so, then I need to do some reallocating of skill ranks. ^^;
I know I'm being a pain now, but I'm not sure about the new Shield weave either. Now it's a simple will save to defeat a shield, which doesn't take into account at all the channeler's actual strength in the power, either the strength of the channeler shielding or the one being shielded.
After the old method, this seems rather anticlimatic to me. It is also something else for which I would have to redesign Fia. Currently, with only a couple of talents, she is built to be fairly specialized against other channelers. She has invested in very high concentration / composure (including feats) in large part specifically for things like cut weave (which seems to be missing in these rules?) and shielding. However, with the new weave, this seems like it would make this rather a worthless endeavor, which imo is a shame because the other feels closer to the books.
Sorry, I am not trying to nitpick, but just making observations. Despite all my "complaining", there is actually quite a bit I find intriguing about the new update, and the Aiel mess aside, the non-channeler classes got a much, much needed update, which I think is great.
Please consider this as well as you are also taking a look at the noble and algai issues Rizzen. I will be happy to update to the new rules, whatever they end up looking like - and I do think it'll be easier / better if we're all playing from the same ruleset, but I do hope we can work on bringing those things from the old that we agree are still better into the new. Thanks!
@ryvin...its been so long since we have had a power battle between channelers that i admit that some of the rules i have forgotten. i will have to dig through the past and see what I did back then. should be easy to find and figure out, just need to look at the battle you fought against the aes sedai that brought you here.
Amorial could you link that post(s) to here so I can see the context, or a link to the wiki entry regarding that line of thinking. This is the first I've heard of the Ogier not from Seanchan being "fallen"

Thanks, so from what I can interpret, Ogier were charged as guards of the focal points of the pattern? Literal translation Heart Guard Focal Point of Pattern.
WHile Seanchan Ogier were tasked with protecting literal translation Heartguard Lord of Glory.
So was the Ogier you killed pissed because of the stedding? or what. I assume that Hawkwing's bloodline is what he was referring to as what the Seanchan were protecting.
I figure that but you may need Rizzen to give you some more data to confirm. The Ogier I slew was pissed because I existed, my parlay offer was rebuked and I fought two of them at once and somehow won the fight.
DM Rizzen? Any info I can get on this so I can respond appropriately IC?
FYI, I am traveling for work from Tuesday through Thursday, my posting over those few days may be spotty as a result.
chen, i sent you a PM.
WTF!?!?!???!!!
Words will be had!
Well this should be interesting and / or explosive. :)
Not sure if Chen has improved grapple. Is there going to be initiatives? Pretty sure Ryland was looking for a fight.
good point. but i am not sure, since chen seems to be missing his feats and skills.
So, are we doing initiative also or just an aoo?
just an AOO.
so you get the AOO, chen does his attack, and then you can respond.
I don't have improved grapple, I do have a ten foot range if that matters. There is a link to my character sheet in my profile and I list the feats I have and what level I took them at.
And to clarify, did Ryland just attack me with a weapon?
YUP. Don't take kindly to being hoisted up by our necks round these here parts.
And my wolf, (it just appeared....no one has paid attention to it i guess..) is going to try and tear a hunk of meat out of ya too.
(Soon as I stat it out...)
Ok. I just imagined you saying that in a super southern accent. "yup, folks round these parts don't take kindly to be'n hoist up by thur necks there big feller."
But that's fine. Ryland is a distressed individual he only wants to ponder his love life and a giant is bothering him!
That was how it sounded in my head.
Aa giant that has pissed him off since they first encountered each other...
Yup...and 'explosive' it is!
It looks like a good time to break out the popcorn.
indeed.
i know i am a few days early on this, but i am going to take a step back from this game at this time and let amorial, aka shadowteller begin to DM for me.
i will continue to watch this campaign until i leave on friday evening, so no shenanigans! lol
Rules question, is AC armor plus defense +10 via pathfinder? or just armor plus def?
Unless something changed in the new version, AC should be:
10 + Dex + Defense OR 10 + Dex + Armor.
UNLESS you have the armor compatibility class feature (which I assume as an armsman you would unless the archetype changes this)
in which case it is:
10 + Dex + Defense + Armor
So would I get the defense?
Ok so my AC is actually 30 right now.
Ish. Yes, I think so Chen. I don't see anything that removes armor compatability with the blademaster archetype, so I think that is correct.
And unfortunately Ryland... I think the default is either defense or armor, but not both. I think Armsmen (sans Aiel) and commanders are the two exceptions.
Others who have ported over may have looked closer at the new rules than I however, so if I'm wrong someone correct me.
I will have to check that out later though it may be a moot point based on my last two I/C posts.
I'll never surrender my weapon! Huzzah!
EDIT: I may have a chance to eventually have fought every person in this group, either physically or philosophically. Haha.
fia is correct.
AC fixed. now 21.
Jareen, huh? Wow, that seems like a long time ago!
Yeah, I will answer that when I am done working for the day :-)
Lol! Like how I diverted that to the new DM?
Lol
Hahaha inside joke I don't get.
Mainly cause we have been to so many worlds and campaign pages I can't find where we killed the sum batch.

OI! It rook a while to find that! The Combined Effort thread January of 2013 is where the foul Lord Jareen met his end, took a few critical hits to bring him down...

i should take a weekend this summer a build a wiki for this campaign, just to make it easier for all of us to find the info.
You would need to be locked away for at least a week to do that! :-)
I keep thinking about doing the same thing for my Vampire game and I have about 9,000 less posts!
I just read the Jareen combat. Sorry Rhoekk, I so pulled a kill steal. Never got any real stats on the sword I don't think for special abilities with the one power.

You may need the ability to channel to use the sword but of course that is up to Ryvin... :-)
the object that is the heart of the warrior is a sword that isnt a sword. similar to calandor in being a object that is designed to look like a sword, the difference ends there.
not activated: the sword resembles a sword. it has the ability to absorb weaves but instead of releasing them, the sword bleeds it off the stored weaves 1 weave stored per hour.
activation: the weilder allows someone to willingly channel into the sword a thread of spirit. this activates the below abilities.
abilities:
able to confer bladeforms to the weilder.
this occurs through tel'aran'rhoid. an instructor teaches the wielder during the night while the wielder sleeps, making it seem that the wielder is a natural prodigy to this style of sword. the instructor can impart all common bladeforms, and 5 random old blood style forms. (this can take the form of either the bladeform skill or allow for 5 bonus feats, depending on which rulebook is utilized.)
able to absorb weaves that target the wielder.
able to release absorbed weaves in large balls of saidan or sadair energy. (must keep track of source of weaves, male or female.) saidair released weaves explode as a concussion of air, dealing 1d6/# of weaves released DC 20 ref for half. saidan released weaves explode in a ball of fire, dealing 1d6/#of weaves released dc 20 ref save for half. You can release both weaves at the same time, increasing the damage to 1d10/# of weave levels, but the weaves must be equal to each other. (ie release 5 weaves of saidar, 5 of saidin. you cannot release 5 of saidar and 1 of saidin)
combined with Valdar Cuebiyari Ta'averen: when within 30 feet of the heart of the pattern, the wielder has the ability to re-write the pattern, up to an extent. the wielder can prevent recent events from occuring, similar to Balefire. By concentrating, the wielder can "backburn" the pattern to erase events from happening.
the wielder makes a will save dc 25. if he/she makes it, all events that occured in the previous round of combat are undone (as if the round never happened). this ability is only usable 3 times a day. this ability cannot be used once after itself. a wait time of 5 rounds must occur between uses.
Posting is often slow on the weekends so I will give others who have not posted a chance to catch up on Monday before moving the action forward.
