Apologies. Sick with C19 (finally) and my online time is going to s@!~
Yikes. Wishing you a light case.
Take care all.
Let's meet again on Monday.
Busy busy operational week folks. Likely be a day or so before I can get some clear air to post. Bot Udo if needbe.
Take care Helaman!
I will be on vacation from tonight through Monday. I am not sure what my internet situation will be through the trip, but I will try and be available to post at least once a day. Bot me as needed if I am taking to long.
Will be back tomorrow
No problem, waiting for all of you being ready
I'm good at Charm. Anyone want to assist me (you need to have at least 1 advancement in the skill to assist)?
I can but I thought we were to all make attempts? Was I reading that wrong?
Intimidate is better for Udo (40) as Charm is 28 and Leadership is 30, but I'm happy to roll however.
I can but I thought we were to all make attempts? Was I reading that wrong?
I thought the GM just meant that we have to get four success levels, whether that's one person or many.
Seems that more people are good at Intimidate, so perhaps that is the better move.
I'm very good for a new character on that score...
So if we all roll to intimidate, do any negative SLs subtract from the positive SLs?
Maybe some clarification:
You need a total 4 success, whether from 1 sources (unlikely) or many.
There must be a consensus about the skill used (either Charm, Intimidate or Leadership)
Logically, negative SL should substract from the positive SL. I'm happy to dismiss the rule (you just don't have what it take to be feared/liked/obeyed on the spot) unless you roll a Critical failure (96-00)
As I said, you can spend 1 Fortune to ensure you get a +1 SL on the test instead of rolling.
So moving the Fortune talk to here. I was in a Savage Worlds game where you are supposed to get more Bennies. And he gave them out at the start of each new page. I thought that worked really well.
On a different note, I posted a recruitment thread to do a Warhammer Quest RPG campaign if anyone is interested.
Thinking about a houserule, a way to give back Fortune more than once a day, if you think that would be helpful (and in Warhammer, it can be helpful!)
I had the Latin quote "Fortunes audaces juvat" (Fortune favors the bold) in mind, and I am considering an house rule which gives, once a day, 1 Fortune point after 10, 15 or 20 Success Levels on Tests.
Meaning you have to try your luck to get more luck.. if you aren't dead yet.
A twist can be added for Critical success and failures, meaning a Crit Success would give you your Fortune point instantly, and a Critical Failure set the record back to 0 (or maybe +5 for CS/-5 for CF)
thoughts about it?
on a side note, I hope to give everyone some XP this week end, before you enter the barn, but I need to calculate how much
I'm not sure, that seems like a lot more bookeeping.
Sorry for the lateness, I wanted to re-read everything since the start, and try not forgetting anything
Xps:
Surviving the Dullahan +10xp
Fighting the Dullahan +30 XP
Getting a meal and roof +10 Xp
General Roleplaying: 15 XP (all)
(Udo&Gottfried): protecting the corpses from the wolves 10 XP
Moneying the silver dagger +10 (All)
STA:
Udo: Meet the Stonemason and prove your worth-(Must choose a new STA)
Imrik Using magick to defeat a foe (Used a Magic Dart vs the Dullahan_New STA)
Imrik 10+30+10+15+50+10=125XP
Udo 10+10+15+10+50+10=105
Felver 10+30+10+15+10=75
Gottfried 10+10+15+10+10=55
Brunhilde 10+10+15+10=45
Konrad 10+30+10+15+10=75
More XP will come, of course.
Do you need some information on how to use Xps?
You can spend your XP on characteristics, skills and talents, and to change careers.
each +1 to a skill or characteristic is called an advance. Skill costs less than characterestics to advance (as an advance in STR will rise every skill depending on STR, like Climb, Intimidate, Row...)
Initially, you can only spend your XP to increase the 3
Characteristics, 8 Skills, and 4 Talents available to your Career
level.
Characteristics
the first 5 advances cost 25 XP; the next 5 ( advances 6-10) cost 30 Xp, the next five (advances 11-15) cost 40 XP..), and so on...
Remember rising STR, TOU and WILL will increase your hit points (STR+(2*Tou)+Will)
For example, rising Felver STR (one of his three starting Characteristics with WS and Toughness) by 1 will cost him 25 XP, to get the whole 5 advances will cost him 5*25=125 XP. THe next advance (its sixth) will cost him 30 XP, and so on.
Skills
the first 5 advances cost 10 XP, the next 5 cost 15 XP, the next five cost 20 XP, and so on
You can buy a non career skill or characteristic for double the cost ( 1 advance in Fellowship for Felver will cost him 50 XP, an advance in Steakth will cost him 20 XP
You can get a new talent at the cost of 100 XP , or rise a talent you have for 100 XP+100 Xp per level already taken. Exemple: Brunhilde has Attractive 1 as a starting Talent. She want to get more Attractive (Attractive 2) it cost her 200 XP. The next (and last) level of Attractiveness will cost her 300 XP. If Felver wants to get Iron Jaw, one of the starting Talents of Pit fighters, it will cost him 100 XP.
You can leave your career when its completed for 100 XP (either to get to the next step of your Career, from Pugilist to real Pit Fighter or to start a new career) or when its uncomplete for 200 XP.(It cost +100 XP for a career of another Class, if Felver suddently wants to be a Rogue or a Burgher)
To be completed, your (first) career must have:
all starting characteritics with 5 advances
8 of your 10 skills with 5 advances
1 Talent from the list
+2 Ag for 50xp (AG 35)
+1 Initiative for 25xp (I 29)
FIY I'll be on the roads from tomorrow till the week end (back on Saturday probably)
Buy Aethyric Attunement, so I do not Miscast on a double if I am successful in the casting. for 100 exp.
2 points into Melee (Polearm).
Brunhilde will take one advance in Fellowship and bank the rest.
Just banking for now...
Sorry been a brutally busy week. Will have a look at XP options over the weekend.
FYI, I'm going on vacation beginning tomorrow (6/16) through 6/26. I'll have internet access and will be posting during that time, but it may be a bit sporadic. Apologies.
Hey folks - I'm going to drop out of this one. Not feeling the character and don't like giving less that 100% in my games (which this one deserves).
Thanks for the consideration DM L'E and good luck all.
Cheers
Black Dow

Sorry to see you go Udo, but I understand your reasons, and thank you for the head up
Cheers DM & Gottfried. Am wondering if the funk is because he feels a little aimless at the moment?
Udo bagged a decent 105XP so perhaps I just need to look at spending it and mulling his next move? Dunno...
The new STA is an opportunity... let me mull upon it before I call time on Udo. Am open to input from those more familiar with the system than myself also.
Originally thought Udo would slowly build toward changing career to Priest or Nun (Friar)?

Personal mood changes have definitely influenced my online group games from time to time.
Gottfried is likely to morph to a new character career in the course of play. I could see the move to priest.
Also... what is STA?
Short Term Ambition I believe :)
Yeah move to Priest seems most fitting... definitely going through a funk in some of my online games at the moment too.

I think Udo is one of the more fleshed out characters, so I hope you go with your priest idea.
This system seems to want to line you up in one career, where in previous games you bounced a lot more into weird and fun things. If priest or friar sounds like a goal, then I think you should go for that.
I will be going on vacation from the 23rd through the 30th. I hope to have internet and be able to post over the week at least some, but I won't know until the day of if the area we are in is covered. Feel free to bot me as needed.
Didn't check here before posting in gameplay. But the post stands as it is the natural reaction. And totally get the feelings...I've been having trouble with my games for the past week or two. But trying to get back into things.

It's every summer about this time that the boards get funky. People get into summer and vacations slow things down as well as just alot of busy stuff in summer with kids home from school etc. It's not unusual really. Just stay the course and look to concentrate on the group and characters and rp and we can make it.
Yep. Been in PbP for ages and that's the secret
Won't be able to post until Wednesday.
