The Discussion Thread for Table II.
Once you are all checked in we'll move along with the action for Table II!
Checking in
:D
Away we go
Ah lovely, here I am
Present and ready!
Reporting for duty.
I'll be honest, I'm not familiar with all the classes in this group. What roles does everyone fill?
I've got 15/day touch of corruption for 6d6 and a conductive Earthbreaker. I do have a composite longbow, but it's not my focus. Since it looks like we've got plenty of melee power, I might rely on my Beacon of evil ability.
At 4th level and every 4 level thereafter, a dread vanguard gains one additional use of his touch of corruption ability per day. As a standard action, he can spend a use of his touch of corruption ability to manifest the darkness in his soul as an area of flickering shadows with a 30-foot radius centered on him. These shadows don’t affect visibility. The antipaladin and all allies in the area gain a +1 morale bonus to AC and on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws against fear, and also ignore the first 5 points of hardness when attacking unattended inanimate objects. This lasts for 1 minute, as long as the dread vanguard is conscious.
At 8th level, the aura grants fast healing 3 to the dread vanguard as well as to his allies while they remain within it. Additionally, while this aura is active, the antipaladin can use his touch of corruption ability against any targets within its radius by making a ranged touch attack.
So I can passively buff the party while making ranged touch of corruption attacks. I've never played a campaign at this high of a level. I feel so powerful :b
I'll update this between tonight and tomorrow.
I'll let the PCs speak for themselves as to their unique capabilities.
I punch things. I grapple things, possibly sucking out their blood. I throw things off high places. I can also be a decent sneak.
When faced with an enemy who isn't immune to mind-affecting effects, his preferred tactic is to use Fear to incapacitate. Currently he can bypass Immunity to Fear, and in a few levels, he'll be able to bypass Immunity to Mind-Affecting, as well. He accomplishes this not only by manifesting powers, but with the Intimidate skill as needed. His follow-up uses of Intimidate do increase the level of fear from Shaken->Frightened->Panicked, unlike most, which simply stack to the Shaken duration.
Zelic is best-suited for melee as far as combat goes, and has not-insignificant elemental resistances as well, and excels at stealth & reconnaissance, even able to hide himself from blindsight, tremorsense and the like.
Original Table Line Ups for those interested:
Shadows in the Darklands - Kisara, Zelic, Thulmere, Grym, Rosalind, & Allizsah.
Quest for Eternal Night - Murza, Murnau, Helt, Lener, Veldrin, & Saban.
-------------
Updates for both tables tomorrow. I have two more updates to get to tonight for the 9 games I could not update on Sunday... Still, that means I hit 14 updates on Sunday so not too shabby!
Hopefully by Thursday I'll get back to every second or third day updating games as per my normal rotation.
Any enemies within ten feet of me take a -4 on saves vs fear. C-c-combo!
@Saban
Those poor folks aren't gonnna know what hit them
@Everyone
Looking at everyone, I should probably throw debuffs from range where possible, and skirmishing with maneuvers otherwise, especially since I don't need to full attack to be effective. Melee can be my secondary option, or the fallback when Fear isn't a valid choice.
And we're off!
I'm beautiful? And talky? And combaty I guess. I didn't build Kisara very well.
Haha, I think she came together nicely. Shadow's generally pretty flexible on rebuilding before the game's really in play though, if you think you need a tweak... eye-hurter now that you know the party composition.
I like her but seeing the other builds I got worried she will lose some of her shine. She does sneaking and social melding quite well though, which is what I built her for.
I don't have time for a post right now but I'm alright with traveling together. Bot me if needed.
The boards have been a mess since last Wednesday night. As a result I have fallen behind in all games. I'll get to this one within the next few nights if not tonight.
Definite update tomorrow.
Update and what an update ;-)
Hopefully the boards are stable again (they have been this morning) and I can get out updates over the next two days.
Had to attend a graduation tonight. Updates here tomorrow.
I still have an opening as noted below, anyone interested?
Recruitment is OPEN once again for Bloodlines - A V20 Vampire the Dark Ages Campaign - Clan Ventrue
You will start as Mortal.
All I need is a concept to start with.
This is a LONG running game, 10,000 posts. However, prior knowledge of the Chronicle is not necessary or quite frankly even desirable as you should not know anything of what has already taken place anyway.
For some reason no one seems to want to play Ventrue. Oi...
Paging Kisara, and anyone else we haven't seen in a bit...
Paging Kisara, and anyone else we haven't seen in a bit...
Everyone else has been posting if not super active, between the boards being down for 10 days and 14 days of hell at work for me we have not advanced very far lately.
I took some down time here which will last till the 5th and then will take a bit more downtime next week.
After that though I will be trying to update every second or third day to get us moving a bit quicker!
I am slowly working my way out of my DM board break. I want to add information to the Campaign Info Tab before I move us forward.
Sorry for the delay guys but not to worry, we'll be up and running again soon enough!
I believe we lost Kisara, any interest in Recruiting or shall we move along with five?
I think we have plenty as it stands, but I wouldn't oppose a movement to recruit.
I'm torn here. I think we're good numbers wise, but it's too bad we lost our only female. That goes a long way with Drow.
Picking a side though, I'll say we don't recruit. Perhaps Kisara can go home to Absalom to inform Jair of our choice.

I am going to DMPC her regardless, especially now as we will not be recruiting a replacement.
OK, updated!
I shot Helt a PM to go ahead an update I/C.
Playing in 20+ games and running 26 (soon to be 27) is time consuming. Outside of the boards I have a fairly busy work schedule and of course a life!
Often I find that if I fall behind in updates, I need to make time to simply update a Discussion Thread to inform the PCs of a particular game that I am either going to be posting later in the day or week or will be on a break form the boards for one reason or another.
To save time updating so many damn threads I am going to open this thread and link all of my DM aliases (and PC aliases) to this thread to inform people as to status.
Of course if people feel the need to ask other questions outside of PbP feel free to do so but mainly this will be a thread dedicated to ensuring that my PCs know my status and to assure everyone that even though I may have some absences away from the boards (or particular games) that new thread will be up to date with my status.
Sorry for the long delay there folks. Now that the Ruins of Azlant Recruitment is humming along, posting will come much quicker!
That is the last new game I am recruiting for until something else closes down. It'll be a while before that happens based on the adventures I have going on right now.
With Kisara clearly gone and Zelic barely posting, I'll begin to move forward with Saban, Lener, Grym and Helt as the core four.
I have not seen any submissions for extra slots and I am starting to think we should keep it at 4-5 due to not only power levels of existing PCs but to speed up Gameplay so I am not waiting on the last post or two from stragglers.
Ok. Very minor point, could you mark me inactive on the other (Quest for Eternal Night) campaign? Just my little obsessions about the Campaigns page.
Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posting. Made some lifestyle changes lately (moved/new job) so I'm getting used to the new details, and I'm working to make time for everything. I'll make a more diligent effort to not get left behind. Thanks for your patience!

OK!
I believe we're waiting for a teleport or otherwise from our host before we continue, and the way I interpreted it, he needs to wait until tomorrow (presumably to reprepare spells or something similar)?
Yes, yes. But Lener is hot-headed, impatient and dislikes everything "proper" or "artificious", so he's pushing for action. I can tone it down, if it's unpleasant.
Oh no that's fine. Just wanted to make sure that players ourselves understood what was happening.
I'll take a hand crossbow and 4 drow poison bolts, and that'll do it for me.
Hmm, I'm not sure what else I would use. Some Gloomsticks would be nice, but those are racial items made by Fetchlings, so that's probably a no go.

If you want 'em, take 'em!
Or double that for the Penumbra Tattoo.
Or get someone to cast Protective Penumbra on you every so often.
