Augrok at: Athletics: +6
Engineer, Chief Mate, or Gunner is where she shows aptitude, so there's some flexibility.
..."Sun company"?
So, where to next?
I'm thinking that Jairdan likely wrote some of those requests at the behest of the ones making the offer if they can't read? How widespread is literacy in the town?
This is an interesting challenge, trying to write Jairdan as the insulation, somewhat socially awkward, {shrinking violet} trope while trying to keep the momentum going. I like it, but yow.
I'm neutral on starship combat. Either works for me.
A couple things are possible regarding quick maps. - Stock gridded map (by terrain type) with tokens that can be placed.- I've used Ye Olde Map Maker to good effect, hosting the images in Google There's probably easier ways that I haven't encountered yet, though.
Got the crunch settled, now I'm examining the fluff justifications. That 6 in Strength had to come from something, and I was initially thinking that was from the Archfey "reshaping" Jairdan, pulling points from "strength of body" to "strength of presence" essentially, but that had to have gotten reinforced. Maybe a brief illness here, and then his primary tasks being that of a scribe in the church, recopying all of the books and manuscripts that needed doing, to where they were the one watching kids play out of the window while they worked all the time. Herala and Thelurion being at the church means that their interactions were probably the (few) times that Jairdan could experience camaraderie, even if it was secondhand in some cases. The determining factor would have been when the pact would have been made, as I can imagine the Fey Presence (effect?/feature?) would have polarized attitudes towards them. I can see Herala being closest in that "we're both weirdos" kind of way, and if Thelurion/Terion feeling the call of being a Paladin, Jairdan could recommend books or even give lectures "tell stories", recalling some of what they had copied— or a lot if it was interesting. ...They're totally asking Jairdan to give small sermons to the faithful, aren't they? Thoughts?
Ah, sorry. here's the Spell List that I'm using. ID Insinuation is the 1st level spell that I was looking at. Eldritch Blast requires a to-hit roll, so it may be more feasible to have enemies save.
With Jairdan's stats as they are, making any sort of attack rolls are out of the question, so that means they'll always be forcing saves to contribute to the party. I think it fits, as it could be something about their appearance, or some quality about their force of personality that may have been touched by their patron, giving them that intense, unearthly air of the fey at times. There are a couple of spells in the 5ewiki that are listed as (UA), and while they fit, I did want to check about whether or not they were allowed.
is there any conflict with Jairdan having Archfey as a patron and working as an acolyte? This would put him under the authority of Calmer and Terjon, right? Would it make more sense for his father to transfer into the town, or did he transfer to Hommlet?
Jairdan Wynne: (6),(9),9,14,14,(18) Half-Elf (Mask of the Wild), Acolyte(Seelie Court), Warlock(Archfey) Common, Elven, Sylvan, Celestial, Infernal Asking the fey for a favor was something that was heavily cautioned against, even in the best of times. For a youngling wishing upon the ideals of the most beautiful being that he had heard of, the significance of having that wish responded to by your idol may have been misunderstood. "To be more beautiful like you", has a wide interpretation, and only the strongest of gods can make something of nothing. That wish was granted, at a Cost that included Service, and So It Became. PT: Nothing can shake my optimistic attitude.
Ambitious human cook(Monk), that became a Wanted Witness for refusing to "make do" with poorly supplied facilities at a meeting they didn't realize was more important than they thought. The challenge of cooking here meant that without any magic tricks, the food has got to be good on its own. They've run into a bit of a roadblock in that no legitimate place will take them on, they've got to duck the law, and things might get downright hostile if they become too visible.
Outlaws? I'm game. Also for some of the work, too.
So many classes, so little time! I have such character indecision... It's a curse.
They were, I hope yours were good as well!
I cannot lie. 2 and 4 draw me.
Not expecting any posting through the holidays, I'll have a post up sometime next week. Enjoy your holidays, and may this time be merry for you.
(A shape shifts under the water, close enough to almost break the surface before it is gone)
Considering the flow of things, I'm thinking that all of the attention is set to undermine a couple nobles that everyone's mission ties into?
I'll have to withdraw. Life has conspired to drain my time recently, and I will not be able to get something satisfactory posted before the deadline.
Currently considering a Mad Dog Barbarian, with their War Beast being a Boar named Butler.
Everyone needs a bassist!
*Re-rolls
16.14.16.10.12.16 Bard(Sound Striker), Alchemist(Mixologist), or U.Monk(Drunken Master)depending on if we're the band, the support staff, or the afterparty gone left.
(leans in, holding a bass) ??
I too appreciate the opportunity. I couldn't segue back into the plot without feeling like it was a "and I'm there also!", moment. That said, it was good to see D20 Modern run, and did enjoy what I read.
Still here! :D
Still here, just unclear on the direction
Glad you had a great time. Any sneak peeks we should know about?
Something reasonably low-stakes, or perhaps curiosity? I'm willing to say that Sennos lost, but not without trying to hammer throw Aria because she got annoyed at the whip. Or a partnered duel where she drew Aria's partner.
That sounds like fun! Which competitions would typically see Aria entered into? Sennos is usually the decathlon/pentathlon type, with less emphasis on physical combat, as grand ring events are a bit too unruly for her taste. Smaller duels, above-board proxy wagers, and structured competitions are more to her liking.
Depending on the competitions, that's very likely, especially if there was the possibility of them competing against the other. That's a "Definitely" from the dice. =D
Likewise, I'll be posting this afternoon.
Will you send me the recent link or get an alias updated with the profile? Gotcha. Here you go.
Ohh... My fault. I was thinking it was a Monthly thing, and I wasn't using it enough. Thank you for pointing that out. I should have it corrected now.
Sennos has been updated with gear. I can't do much about the missing skill within the setting, I think? Is there a setting where I can insert homebrew stuff?
Augrok will delay until the pipe is clear-- or I can help shove people forward?
Updated. Gear has been acquired.
Background: Athletic Champion Trait The Firdraes were always a lesser house, whether by chance or choice. She knew that there were things about her mother that were different, but the older she grew, the more Sennos found that she did not care about that. What she found enjoyment in was the simple feeling of exertion, and discovered that as long as she was tired enough, she could find bliss in rest. As tearing about the fields like a Wildling was deemed less-than-appropriate, steps were taken to find an outlet for her that was somewhat more acceptable. What started as a summer diversion and outlet training in the competitors houses turned into a wholehearted pursuit of every accolade that could be won. Victories saw sponsorships. Sponsorships saw her skill reach a wider audience, and that wider audience brought more acclaim to her wins. So it was inevitable that when an invitation from Mariella Lotheed to be sponsored with the focus on the events during Grand Day of Exultation, the offer was accepted. This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and the stakes were something that she intended to see ratified.
Gerald, are you swapping to Wizard? If you are, I'll take Monk for my (theorized) "+1 Monk" build (Fort, Ref, Will, Init, Focus feats).
Psh, who needs balance? We can just multi-cast "Fist"!
Laijiri's player here. I was thinking a Rising Star Pistolero Gunslinger, used to being a proxy for duels, coming into his own.
Ready, set, and waiting.
An let is know of we can assist in any converting? It's a good way to get your hands dirty in the guts of the system and gain knowledge.
Likewise with not being familiar with any APs in particular. There was one about some plague going around that I had a character in, I think we finished the first book, and faded out. There was another about masks and being a convicted criminal, but otherwise I'm generally unfamiliar with them.
I can't imagine a creature is going to let Laijiri go— I'd say he's done for, but I'm not above the dice proving me wrong. I am also aware that I was absolutely not playing towards the strengths of the class which is hitting things hard and consistently. I did get to learn that grappling things is less of a contested roll, so that kinda nixed the whole schtick I was driving at, but I digress. This was educational, and that was the point. I absolutely appreciate the investment given and received as I got to contextualize some of the rules so that the system makes more sense to me. I'm game for a different scenario, as I'll generally be choosing an idea to explore randomly, such as Alchemist Cook, prepping treats and tastes that work wonders, both magical and mundane; Hedonist not-quite-Noble Bard doing "Stereotypical Bard Things"; Tidal Psychic, buffeted about by the collective unconscious; Monk, Monk, Goose!, determined to prove that for everything in life all you need are These Two Hands, and so forth... All to better grasp the system, of course.
Can the entry be broken to be made wider? Am I correct in that it will take three full actions to get to the other side, and as I had to move for the first one, it will be the round after next when I will be in the room and able to act?
Given Laijiri's position, he may have to delay to be able to attempt to make it through the small door without blocking or squeezing in anyone's space?
Let's do this!
..."Oh we should try that!" and "Satisfactory!"... Androids and Aliens! Oh goodness, I replayed that bit a couple times just to hear the cast lose it into laughter! The other one I replayed more was the pre-episode bit about the Italian ghosts... I absolutely cracked up!
(momentary scene change of DeeCo nearby with a headcam feed window open through their eye at a seedy tavern) Hmm.. Do the officers have any accessible dirt?
