My wife's older brothers are "identical" twins, so I am familiar with the etiquette, such as it is. I'll still be overtly condescending unintentionally, just like I was before.

Actually, it is only fair that I shared it with you Rush. I confided this fact to GM Nayr back when Jack first joined, and Sunyata knows Jack in RL, and though I am not sure, I probably met Sunyata in RL too at some point, long long ago on some grassy knoll.
By the way Rush, I like you character's personality. Ruthless in an unsuspecting way.

Thanks. Looks like I'm the outsider for this one. But I guess it's only appropriate for my first play by post game. Like joining a new group in real life.

İndeed, we used to know each other fairly well once upon a time. Happy b-days (belated), you're still very cool (and very different) cats.

Sunyata, and everyone else, does it seem to you that Sunyata's character is built for unarmed fighting or not?
I can only presume so, with her being a monk.
Sunyata, these are the weapons that you are proficient with (meaning you don't take a penalty to use) by default.
Monks are proficient with the brass knuckles, cestus, club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shortspear, short sword, shuriken, siangham, sling, spear and temple sword.

thanks sunyata
built for unarmed fighting perhaps. actually, i was reading some kinds of monks make weapons their specialty.
doesn't look like sunyata's is though.
should calculate her to-hit and damage with unarmed, vs armed. at her level I'd imagine her unarmed combat abilities to be pretty good

GM Nayr |

Honestly, I'd play Sunyata as unarmed, but that's me. With the racial outburst ability and +4 str, coupled with flurry of blows, she could be devastating. That being said, I don't think we ever selected rage powers or monk bonus feats, did we? I was in a hurry to get you in, so probably didn't pay enough attention to that. You could be missing a really cool aspect to the character.
Let me know if I'm just missing them.

Aha! Indeed... Maybe we never finished that then... I would love to fight unarmed, I just wasn't sure how to
I did see I have the raging ki which is pretty hefty. How do I use that in combat... ??

Sphen86 |

Raging Ki is pretty much just punching people in the throat until they fall down, and screaming "Swear to me!" while you do it. Don't you read the flavor text?

how long to lash together a serviceable raft?
when I did archeology in Belize, when a rain storm was approaching in the field, some of the hired guys would rapidly build shelters by cutting down very young trees, lashing it all together with vines, and covering with broad leaves. it was pretty impressive.

Summer is for having fun and family in RL. No worries. Winter is coming, as it were.
CHeck this sculpture from my bro in law:
The Plague Doctor He's pretty good at this kind of stuff.

I don't think I ever quite understood the rationale for sending us on this adventure. A creature attacked us, and so we were sent off into the jungle to figure out why?
Gotta watch that alias my dude.

Sphen86 |

stating the obvious here, but this game has slowed down considerably.
It has indeed. But since my personal life has gotten so much busier, I've actually been okay with that.

GM Nayr |

Yeah, that's my fault Jack - been crazy busy, and the initial part of this AP leave a wide open "wait until the ship is done" period. This stuff is mostly made up on the fly. I could always just say...you wait, and then the ship is done, but wanted to give you a chance to do some things on the island.
Also - motivation was largely due to Rickety offering a healthy discount based upon your success.
