-Pants softly- Presenting... The part finished 40th level monster.


Kage Bunshin no Jutsu?

Monk mixed with a caster at level 40. I admire your attention span. :) If I'm told to build a 40th level character it'll probably end up being a fighter mixed with rogue or some other such less complicated thing.

Have you considered swapping your Int and Con, and your Str and Wis. Epic bonuses spiral out of control so Str for damage and Con for hp might serve better than the couple extra skill points and minor AC boost.


Male Human Monk of the Four Winds Lvl 20 / Bard Lvl20

Well the thing is it is a game based mostly around Rp, so the stats are not too important. Most of the Combat will be PC on PC and I think I am the most ambitious build out there. I should still win out, even with it like this. I like the extra skill and AC. let em try and hit me, Ill just prattle History at them! :) Haha

It is not meant to be a pure combat focused build, the backstory and Rp is the big part so... It should be okay. Also the GM is giving me epic abilities too. -Nods- So they will boost him higher. I like him though! Bar I need to finish him. That I do not like!


Prithee, what kind of combat can you anticipate?


M Elf Wizard 4

I just made a druid for another PbP, and I think it is the first time I have ever dumped charisma. I feel dirty! It's my favorite ability score.


Male Human Monk of the Four Winds Lvl 20 / Bard Lvl20

Mainly PvP.

You can find some of my writings on FanFiction.net under the name Rio Digi. Two are finished and based around DnD/Pathfinder, and two are still in the works.

I actually am in the process of writing a Golarion based short story, though the characters are original. Thinking of sumbitting it to the fanzine once it's done, though the going is slow since I'm only working on it when I have a few minutes to relax.


Brony Vegetarian Book Worm 1 / Gambler 13 / Zombie Slayer 6

I've been down with some troubling news from/about the (maybe still) fiance so I haven't been much in the mood to game. I'm going to try to ramp back up my speed and get another post in for N. and keep the story moving at that 2 posts or greater speed per week I originally quoted; it is just hard to keep the heart in it at the moment.


Life happens. Sorry to hear you're having a hard go of it.


Male Halfling Commoner / Lvl 1 / Cavalier Lvl 1

Sorry to see you down buddy! Hope everything turns out alright for ya. Take as much time as you like bro. I will occupy the group!

-Dumps a bucket of water on Lupi. Scrawls em pleH on Sophones board and drops a hive of bees in Lyles pants-

Liberty's Edge

While it may hurt, the initial swelling makes up for it! ;)

Here are some spiders in your tent though. Oh, and I dressed you up like a fly. Good luck getting out of the webs.


Male Halfling Commoner / Lvl 1 / Cavalier Lvl 1

-Goes deathly white and curls up in corner- Spiders! -Shudders-

Liberty's Edge

Well crud. It's no fun if he's terrified.


-comforting Dizzy- What have we learned about researching phobias?


Male Halfling Commoner / Lvl 1 / Cavalier Lvl 1

-Stares wide eyed at Lupi- Spiders... So many spiders... They are in my head... I can feel them.

Liberty's Edge

You know, I honestly didn't think he'd be scared of spiders still. I mean, it was just a silent image scroll I used...


Not everyone has a high will save!


Male Halfling Commoner / Lvl 1 / Cavalier Lvl 1

-Uncurls fom ball and stands up slowly- Silent Image scroll? SILENT IMAGE SCROLL!! YOU DAMN CONJURER OF CHEAP TRICKS!

Linked that for you.


Male Halfling Commoner / Lvl 1 / Cavalier Lvl 1

Haha! Thanks!


This demands applause.

*takes a bow*


M Elf Wizard 4

The first one I ever saw was Einstein vs. Hawking, and all the rest pale in comparison.

Liberty's Edge

Doctor Suess vs Shakespeare was better.


M Elf Wizard 4

Not for those of us with physics degrees. :-)


Male Halfling Commoner / Lvl 1 / Cavalier Lvl 1

Personally I love Hulk Hogav V Kim Jong Il


Any other match-ups you wish you could see?

Liberty's Edge

Bela Lugosi vs Bella Swan

I like Twilight, but that would be hilarious to watch.


Who won the superbowl, anyway?


Male Halfling Commoner / Lvl 1 / Cavalier Lvl 1

GIANTS!! Woop woop! Yeah baby!-Dances-


I hope Ringtail is doing okay.


M Elf Wizard 4

Me too. Just noticed his post in "Things in Life That Suck." It seems weak coming from a random internet guy, but I feel for you, and I hope it gets better.

Completely unrelated, unless I am typing gibberish, I am currently on hour 25 of "replace a beaker in a machine at unpredictable intervals ranging from 12 to 30 minutes." 1-2 hours to go, I think.

Shadow Lodge

Ah man, I feel for him too. Take your time, Ringtail! We're not going anywhere.


How'd that work out for you, Gordon?


M Elf Wizard 4

Actually ended up being 31 hours before I finally got a short nap. (Then GMed my face-to-face game.) As to how it turned out... I haven't actually been brave enough to look at the data yet.


Tell me when you do, okay?


M Elf Wizard 4

Honestly, I'm not too optimistic, but not too concerned. The data aren't that crucial.

I do know that, in the wee hours, I ran a sample twice, but I don't know which one, so there's a stretch where I'm not entirely sure which numbers go with which sample. They are all pretty close to the same values, which makes it hard to tell which one is duplicated. On the plus side, it also means it doesn't matter that much.


Good,so it's not one of those 'no margin for errors' bits...


M Elf Wizard 4

"No margin for error" is a luxury I sadly can't afford. Sure sounds nice, though. Taking samples and analyzing them just cost too much time and money to get strong statistics. As it is, I generally have to settle for "some signal in with the noise."


Ach. So you're a gesture statistician.

In a spoiler for length:
I owe you all both an apology and an explanation for my extended and unannounced absence. It was insensitive and honestly just rude of me to neglect the responsibilities I willingly took one when deciding to run/play-in these games. I’ve had the time and I should have spent the few minutes necessary to let everyone know what was going on and why I was disappearing and I didn’t; and that was wrong of me. You are all great, friendly players- you deserve better that to be left hanging on my whim, but I’d like to continue running my games if you will let me. I am truly sorry for my selfish behavior and hope that you’ll accept my apology and not think less of me even though I’m aware that this is not my first unexpected hiatus.

As to why I’ve been gone it will be easier for me to just copy and paste an email I sent to player inquiring as to whether or not I was all right after about a week’s absence.

Player’s email to me wrote:
You doing okay, bud?
My response wrote:
Yeah; just buried in life. I've had some free time and have been meaning to get over to the Paizo boards (realizing just now that it has been nearly a week since I've visited, and longer since I've actually done anything), I just haven't had the effort, I guess, for lack of a better word. I've been trying to sort out finances what with taxes being altered by a wage garnishment and medical bills that are piling up from procedure after procedure. I was also recently sent an email from my fiance who was feeling guilty- apparently he cheated on me twice, once 2 years ago and again several weeks ago and wanted to get it out and apologize, which honestly I would have preferred to have been lied to and spent the rest of life ignorant of the matter. If it wasn't enough the most recent instance fell on the week that my dog died (I keep it at my parent's house since my newest apartment doesn't allow them; they foster abused animals and one got into fight with him and he didn't survive the encounter). A stroke claimed my grandmother a couple days later. For my fiance to finalize his immigration we need to have all of our papers signed and done with come the middle of April, but in light of this recent revelation I'm not 100% sure what I want. If I decide this is it for us I've wasted 4 years (a significant time investment for me) and a ton of money and ruin his chances at indefinite leave visa. If not I have to learn to deal, for pretty much ever; it is all very emotionally and mentally draining when added together.

I’ve only added to my troubles by taking on another roommate about a week ago; a friend and coworker who was more or less kicked out of his place and though he is a good guy things have become a bigger hassle than I expected. My goal is for everything to return to some semblance of normality soon. I have a busy couple of days ahead of me, but I should be able to get things sorted out enough that I’d be able to resume a regular posting schedule by Sunday or Monday evening (if you’ll still have me). I know my excuses are poor- we all have life to deal with, but suffice it to say that I’m very embarrassed about how I’ve handled recent matters.

Sincerely,
Ringtail

Liberty's Edge

I wouldn't be a very good guy if I didn't understand what you are talking about.

For the record, life is never a poor excuse with me.


I'm just relieved you're okay!


M Elf Wizard 4

This is just a game. It's not even a vaguely real-time game. Furthermore, you are running it for us out of the goodness of your heart. I don't feel that you owe us anything; on the contrary, it's us who owe you. Any breaks you feel you need to take are fine with me. It sounds like you have had plenty to deal with, and then some. Having a little spare time and spending it on something other than the Paizo boards isn't something you should have to be ashamed of. In fact, it's probably a good idea.

I'm glad you're back, and I hope things get better for you.


Just glad you are okay bud. Forget about the absence. We are all adults here and have all suffered something like what you went through, in a way. Chin up and look to the future hey?


Welcome back, Ringtail. :)


Brony Vegetarian Book Worm 1 / Gambler 13 / Zombie Slayer 6

Thanks; I've got a lot of catching up to do in multiple threads, so it may still be a little while before I'm fully up to speed, which luckily shouldn't affect this game's speed too much.


Indeed. Best of luck to you.
