DM Delmoth's Planescape (Inactive)

Game Master Delmoth

Nik got promoted and is now planning his own funeral.

Of course, that makes sense. In Sigil

Thankfully, Nik can attend his own 'funeral' while still breathing.

Related: after reading some more lore from places like 1d4 chan and the planescape torment wiki, I've come to the conclusion that Jek's joke about lying around like a lifeless doll might actually be a valid goal for a dusty xD

Philosophical cancer is right xD

Something something weird nihilistic buddhism xD

Would it be weird for Nik to grab Immortality at level 20? xD

Mildly? If you're talking about becoming undead then there are plenty of free willed undead that are a part of the Dustmen. Its easier to detach yourself from false life, that is emotion and the people tying you to the multiverse, when you're not actually alive but its also seen as a dead end because of the whole immortality thing.

Going to wait until Nik does his funeral to move things along, unless you want me to move it along now.

Thanks for waiting xD
THE DEED IS DONE!

it's about 60% copy-pasta by weight xD

edit: Also I just double checked, Nik gave up his ability to grab a bonus feat at 20th to get an undead-ish ability because Undead Master xD
I always like grabbing Immortality for no good reason, but this time I can't, so I guess my earlier question is moot xD
Lich-Loved (Su)/One of Us (Ex): At 20th level, your form begins to rot (the appearance of this decay is up to you) and undead see you as one of them. You gain immunity to cold, nonlethal damage, paralysis, and sleep. You also gain DR 5/—. Unintelligent undead do not notice you unless you attack them. You receive a +4 morale bonus on saving throws made against spells and spell-like abilities cast by undead.

Question: There seem to be some sight-impaired beings among amour group, does everyone have darkvision? Trying to decide on my 2nd level spell.

Not I

I'll get an introductory post up tonight, fighting our yearly spring melt/basement flood today.

humans don't get it and we have two. I think Jek has low-light?

Also, it would help Nik greatly if you could grab Desecrate, especially at level 5 when Nik can cast Animate Dead and take advantage of it ^^;
(You know, if it isn't too evil for you...)

Darkvision (60') per the first post of the recruitment tab.

Akrynn has low-light vision.

And spells...lol.

Alright, I'll hold off on Darkness for a bit then. I'll consider desecrate. This one sounds fun too, although Rinika doesnt really have the charisma for saving throw spells: Boneshaker

Find Traps would be a very expensive, but thematic choice :3

Oh I do like that. And of course there's Silence, Resist Energy, good utility stuff like that.

Resist Energy jumps out. Your first dungeon was on the Elemental plane of Fire and it was possible to disable the enchantment protecting the citadel.

When the GM tells you to take a spell, you take the spell!

It'll be good to have 3 characters with the spell ^^
Naturally, Nik's will be the best :P

And if Rinika doesn't want to be Nik's lovely assistant for raising hell undead, then Nik can always invest in UMD or something xD

I don't suppose some kindly friend with access to an actual computer (with a keyboard and everything) would be an absolute dear and update the gear sheet for Conor?

Pretty please :)

Ok, name and portrait swapped out including all references I could remember. Still needs updated carrying capacity and inventory. Oh, and you're in a different spot due to the alphabet.

If you haven't noticed yet I started working on a NPC gallery. There's a lot to go through so it will be an ongoing project. Added some useful maps too. Eventually I'll get around to adding some advertisements the party has seen.

Neat! And thanks for all your hard work, guys ^^

...

advertisements? O.o

Sweet! Thanks Jek and DM, great stuff!

I may have added too many images....

Before I fixed it, Nik was going to say "I thought Rinika might volunteer her body..." which would've been hilarious, but probably too much xD

Added to house rules:

Spells or spell-like abilities with no components or apparent physical manifestation cannot be identified with spellcraft. Example: A silent still charm person has no components and the spell's description indicates no outward effects and so spellcraft could not be used to ID the spell unless another spell revealed the effect, such as detect magic.

Oooh, sorry to be a bother, but that reminds me of two things that are closely related that haven't come up yet, but I'm beginning to suspect might come up in the near future xD

1) Do SLAs and Silent + Still + Eschew Materials spells still trigger AoOs?
I'm guessing because you space out a moment to cast...? I never got that logic. (Su) doesn't provoke :/
Unless the default assumption *is* that some sort of outward effect is always obvious...?

2) If someone does something with no obvious physical effect, does the victim know on a successful save? How about on a failed saving throw?

1) They would still trigger AoO. You're concentrating so intently casting that you leave yourself open to attack. In my headcannon with metamagic feats you are mentally envisioning the missing component. You're imagining saying the words or doing the gestures so it still requires concentration.

2) Gonna say it depends on the effect. Continuing with charm person and similar spells if the creature fails the save they are friendly towards the caster. But afterwards they knew they were not acting normally. On a successful save I can see either way actually, do you know you just fended off a mental intrusion but are unsure who? Or do you just not notice at all?

Illusions: obviously if you succeed you know its an illusion. But if you fail you're fooled so you shouldn't know you made a save.

oooh, lemme know if anything could adjust Zombington's CHA, actually. Shamblers use CHA instead of CON for hp :3

I would just like to say I finally found time to read through the NPC gallery slide and I appreciate the time that went in to that ^^

Also: "Geitmann: Xaositecs. Gilly! the factol Widower sometimes of of cake." seems to have an extra of, but that might be a quote I don't know about given some of the other descriptions xD

and... "Schrödinger: Doomlord who put Rinika in the dead-box."
who put Rinika in the dead box?
Rinika in the dead box?
DEAD BOX? O.o
Is that the Schrödinger's-cat-box-thing that she was trapped in?

It has exactly the number of ofs as Chaos intended.

I suppose it could be labled as Schrödinger's box. But yes that's who and what's responsible for Rinika's condition. Mena of the Doomguard, who incidentally smells like the box, told Rinika that Schrödinger is a high-up in the Doomguard, a Doomlord. Mena thought that the only way to get Schrödinger's attention was to be exceptionally devoted to the Doomguard philosophy. She also thought that it was dangerous to get his attention.

I haven't done an entry for Mena yet but intend to.

Oh no not the rod-handler!

Mena would be a good addition, I'd forgotten her name.

Does Nik want to get filthy mitts on Rinika's Shrödinger's box, is that what I'm gathering here?

well, he doesn't know about the box, so just Rinika at the moment :P

But if she doesn't want to volunteer to be his lovely assistant, he might settle for the box xD

edit:
@DM_Delmoth: Speaking of assistants, Nik might be getting another not-so-lovely assistant, so please keep the information for any lizard-dood that drops dead during the fight.
...
Now that I think about it: is it easy to tell when a target has finished bleeding out and is therefore a valid target for Lesser Animate Dead? Will we count bleeding out for these guys and potentially delay Nik's ability to make them shamble?

One big dumb lizard zombie coming up. It would be a heal check to see if they're still alive or not.

Sounds like Nik needs some deathwatch eyes.

er, how far away can I make that heal check? XD
and would it be a Move Action like Perception?

Also, I can handle the stat adjustments if you just want to hand me stuff. I suppose that'd be a bit spoiler-y, but I feel like I should handle the Ledgers&Logistics for my zombie hoard :3

Heal check at a distance would suffer same penalties as a perception check.

I'll get you the stats if/when you get a zombie version

Sure, sounds good ^^

...that might be after combat unless Nik rolls well on a health check next turn xD

I like the weapon variety too, we should continue the trend. Next batch can have a shiv, a dagger, a bowie knife, a chopper, a butterfly knife....maybe a club, a truncheon, a stick...

@Conor: quick, delete that post from gameplay and repost it here xD

Also, one of the great things about the weapon variability is that some of Nik's minions will actually use some of those things >:3

Lol, it's a bit of a pain since I can't copy paste attack routines. But one of my favorite things playing a martial character is to pick up and use random weapons.

I'm not trying to discourage you going after them. It is what you're "supposed" to do. You could also try to track them if you don't immediately go after them. Or gather info, they would stick out even in Sigil.

<3 Longstrider

Also, Goodberry is best berry ^^

That's awful odd, could have sworn I posted in the discussion board.

Too bad I didn't see it was wrong till after my workout and it's too late to edit.

My bad.

*shrug* it happens xD
we spammed the gameplay thread with OOC chat, so that helps a bit xD

I was a little shocked to check the page and see 7 posts mid afternoon, that's for sure!

...does Jek have a reach weapon? Are lances REACH? >:D
And you got combat reflexes from that thing, right? XD

If Nik wants more bodies that's fine, I expect you'll kill them.
