Please double check my math.
As indicated I will be at leat keeping my eye on this as it develops and will be chatting with Aardvark as things progress. Looking forward to seeing how things shape up.
Sorry I've been slacking, I made a post all about it the other game I'm playing, short version here. Life sucks, need to check the boards more, making sure I'm doing that, I will attempt to have my character posted up NLT the end of this weekend, and will be ready to go.
Sorry with all the garbage going on at work, I've been a bit preoccupied. I will see about getting some stats posted up in the next day or two.
Yeah some crazy big wine fest in Northern VA today, heard about it from lots of different people.
So dual purpose, just posting up to mark the thread. Also been trying to run through character ideas. So I decided I'd probably try a class I haven't done in a long time. Seeing as I tend to despise the class so much, and because it seems to fit with the story I'm working on, I'm actually thinking of making a Monk..Aardvark, I know, don't have a heart attack..But it both fits my story, and fills my criteria of being a class I don't/haven't played much. Thoughts as to how it will fit the party dynamic? Carlito, your thoughts? As this is your pilot DM run, how do you feel about it?
The one piece of constructive criticism I have though is, consistency, this item has a severe lack of it. Describing the effect as having a range of, "only a few inches" at one point, but also saying its effect spans any item held. Saying a few inches is ambiguous enough on its own, but then another statement seems to defy, or at best further muddle the issue. The fact that a broken window or bottle will make noise because the glass after it has shattered will still make sound, seems to run contrary to the fact that when picking a lock you are holding the lock picks, not the lock itself, so shouldn't the lock still make noise, or the door/chest the lock is attached to? The message ability of the gloves seems a bit inconsistent as well, the message spell allows for a check to overhear anything whispered, but the silence effect negates that chance, but that just seems an arbitrary ability, and is counter intuitive to the theme of item’s other effects. These inconsistencies and ambiguities lead me to dismiss this item immediately, so for me to see it in the top 32 is surprising, but congratulations in that, as it is no small feat!
If you think the Sectoid Commanders are a pain, just wait, the Psi induced havoc only gets worse, and gets worse fast.
The Satellite Nexus is your best friend, when planning your base, two things seem to be important quickly, section off an area for your satellite controls, and section off an area for you power generators, those adjacency bonuses are VITAL in the beginning, and save your a lot later on.
It’s a tough call to have one or not, 7-8 years ago we a had a big group, but we played weekly for 10-18 hours, some serious hard core gaming. So during these days, if you missed, there were xp penalties and loss of loot. If you missed unexcused, there was NO xp and NO loot awarded, and if it happened more than once every few months, there were serious conform or be banished meetings. But as time progressed, since were mostly military, people came and went. As we were mostly single at the time as well, people got married, started families, myself included. Gaming, though still our favorite pastime, became less and less of a priority. Our policies on attendance changed, and so did the gaming systems, with 4E coming along, loss of xp was a relic of the past, there was no chance of losing a level, or spending xp on creating magic items, there was no tiered xp system so all character got the same amount from combat now regardless of level. So those incentives got thrown out the window. Also if people couldn't make it, we just rolled with it, if too many couldn't make it, we'd just play video games, or go see a movie or something. All we asked was, let us know as soon as you can that you can't make it. If they didn't, well we'd let them know that it was jerk thing to do, but that was about the extent of it. So I guess it really depends on the group, when we were younger, gaming was able to take a higher priority in our lives, and we expected others around us to place a similar priority on it. As we realized that our kids and spouses needed us too, then gaming had to take a lower spot in the list, and we expected that it would for other too. Really I think having a no attendance policy and how severe it is, is a discussion that the group should have, and all agree on, having a harsh policy may be what everyone wants, and if that makes things more enjoyable for the group, it should be there. If it makes life miserable for the group, abolish it.
gran rey de los mono is rebanned for using double entendre.
Sorry about the delay, as Delia mentioned, being out of the world for a week made for a lot of catch up work to do. I'm building the alias and profile for this character right now. I should have him online by the end of the day.
That was my impression, but I couldn't find any sort of guidelines or other adjudicating information. Sounds good. I've made some decent progress on character creation, still have a lot to go. Human Wizard and here's the base stats at least. stats:
Str 8 Dex 14 Con 12 Wis 10 Int 18 with +2 racial Cha 14 Now of course these are always subject to change, but its what I've got so far, I've got the skills mostly done, just debating the last 2 or 3 Feats:
1st level Toughness Improved Initiative I also have most of my spell list done, but I'll leave that for another time. Let me know if you see any problems, suggestions, I'm a bit out of practice for PF so taking a bit to get the old gears turning. Also if there are any story based factors I might need to take into account for creation, lemme know.
Okay so here's a question, looking at wizard, under the arcane bond ability, it says it may be an item, and that the wizard receives said item, "for free" okay, now it also says, that the item can be a staff, wand, weapon, ring, or amulet. So assuming a wand was chosen, what kind of wand would this be? Of what level? What other guides or limitations would surround the ability of this item?
okay, as Delia said, my fever was in fact pneumonia, I've spent the entire week laying in bed with a fever barely controlled by meds and feeling lightheaded, needless to say, the computer wasn't even in the equation for quite some time, I'm trying to get back to the real world again, thought I'd touch bases once again to let you all know I'm not dead, and haven't forgotten about you. I'll try to have something ready soon.
Hello all, I am Delia's friend, new to the whole play by post thing, but anxious to give it a try. Sorry its taking me so long to get things together, but I've come down with a nasty fever and have really been having a hard time just getting the energy up to get to the computer. I will try and finish getting my account set up and getting things rolling soonest. Thanks in advance for being patient with me, and look forward to being involved in the game. |
