I'm just the opposite. My tabletop S&S is being run with a free hand and giving PCs a few benefits here and there. My online S&S game is being run savagely as written. You're right, it does make some interesting differences in the game.

whtwulf at gmail dot com, Mez. Good game! I'm beginning to feel your pain, BTW. I'm running S&S online and what I perceived to be a nuisance encounter is very close to wiping out my group.

No problem on Brandon, Mez. I knew when I created a specialized character that there would be situations where he would be relatively useless. As for DWK, I have also played the full series, but I'm happy to play again for no credit if everyone else wants to play through. I can run something, but at the moment, I have three campaigns going on online, so I'd rather not just now. After the New Year, maybe.

I would hardly say that I didn't enjoy your style of GMing, Mez. If that were the case, Avora would have bowed out long ago. To the contrary, I enjoy a challenge. I was worried for us for a while there, but why play if there isn't a risk of failure (even if such failure ends in death)?

Brandon stands up and starts to run, but dizziness overcomes him and he hits the ground, hard. Taking a double move to run used a standard action, which started him bleeding all over again. He is at -1 and dying.

Feeling the icy grip of fear in his heart, Brandon rolls back away from the woman, reloads, and fires again. Brandon vs. Woman (light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22

Brandon swears under his breath as he reloads. She's bored? He lets fly another bolt. Brandon vs. Woman (light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11

Brandon hits the ground prone and fires again. Brandon vs. Woman (light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25

Brandon smiles as his bolt hits home and quickly loads another, sending it along the same path as the first. Brandon vs. Woman (light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Brandon throws the goblet to the floor and draws his crossbow as he moves into firing range. He looses a bolt at the woman, but the shot goes far wide. Brandon vs. Woman (light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 2 = 12 -2 for range

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! Bountiful harvest to the rest of you! And of course, Happy Hanukkah if it applies.

Brandon will assist in the cleaning of the shrine. Torag, while not sacred to him, might one day provide him with the inspiration necessary to solve a perplexing mystery.

Brandon, standing guard outside with Targost, suppresses a shudder as he listens to the healers going about their work. "Who would do such a thing to people?" he half whispers to Targost.

"I guess this is where I come in," Brandon says, cracking his knuckles. He steps up and carefully examines the door before trying to open it. Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 Assuming no traps are spotted...

Okay, good to know that most of you have a light spell, because I do not. Brandon edges his way around the corner, towards the light to the south. He is very happy to see the figure of Targost not far ahead of him.

Brandon freezes where he is, considering the wisdom of splitting the party. He waits, without a light, fearful of moving in the debris-filled passages.

Brandon moves to the corner and fires at the no-longer dark target. Brandon vs. ? (light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 4 = 15 -4 for shooting into melee

Hurrying to keep pace, Brandon makes a mental note to purchase bolts enchanted with permanent magical light. He pauses long enough to throw another bolt into the cloud of darkness. Brandon vs. ? [light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

In Brandon's case, it was a role-playing choice. Back in the days of 2E, he was a halfling thief with the Investigator kit. He was so much fun to play that I was inspired to recreate him for Pathfinder. I might even develop Brandywine, his fighter girlfriend (and the second half of the B&B Detective Agency (Brandon and Brandywine)). So yeah, he doesn't have the ability to see in the dark, but for his role, he doesn't need it. He's not a "go off by myself and scout ahead" kind of rogue. He's an "it takes one to know one" kind of rogue.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Brandon vs. ? (light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 4 = 8 (-4 for firing into melee)

Targeting the voice in the darkness, Brandon fires again. Brandon vs. ? (light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 4 = 5 (-4 for firing into melee)

"Can anyone see them?" Brandon shouts in frustration. "I can't tell where to aim!" He tries to target the sound of the voice in the mysterious language. Brandon vs. ? (light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Aw! What a waste!

"Agh!" Brandon yelps in pain as the blast of sound washes over him. It is all he can do to hold his ears and remain standing.

As Alice noted, Obsidian Portal is how I keep track of everything. And I would love to be considered for your homebrew, pending more details.

Brandon levels his crossbow at the ant and lets fly a bolt. Brandon vs. Ant (light crossbow): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Brandon stares at Calanthe for a moment, transfixed by her otherworldly appearance. She must be a tiefling, he thinks. I've heard of them, but never seen one before. Realizing that he is staring, he forces himself to break eye contact. "Well met, my lady," he offers a small hand.

"And a right pleasure to make your acquaintance, sir! Brandon Burrowwarden, at your service. Criminals captured, mysteries solved; very reasonable rates!" The halfling holds out a hand to shake.

The smartly-dressed halfling greets his fellow pathfinders with a cheery, "Good morn!" He seems and affable-enough fellow, though he looks a bit out of place with his long coat and fedora. Blitterbug has not participated in any online campaigns. |
