Working up a half orc Vivisectionist Alchemist. Be done in a few hours.
Search Posts
Ah, misread core as base. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next pirate adventure to crop up.
I have a half-orc vivisectionist alchemist I've been wanting to try out. I'll post her tonight.
Marked for interest. Looking to do a witch, will type it up tomorrow evening.
Seeing as it's after the 1st I thought I'd post just to say I'm still around.
Re-rolled damage. If only there was a Y-wing laying in the hallway for me to bash them with.
(Sorry about the lag in response guys I just lost my job yesterday. I’m still going to try and keep up with this RP, but things may get a bit hectic for me. I should still be able to get on at least once per day.) “Calm yourself Hish” Koros says in a friendly manner while momentarily putting a hand on the Togorian’s shoulder. “We don’t want to scare our new friend off.” Looking back towards the Zeltron across from him Koros leans back in his seat. “Now, are you simply a man with his own grievances, or do you represent a group of concerned customers mister…?” Koros trails off at the end, leaving an opportunity for the stranger to provide his name.
I think the Walking Dead zombie's bite kills you quicker than a Romero zombie bite. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. Of course in both settings the living are more dangerous than the dead for the survivors.
Not sure that I agree that 90% of humanity dying in 3-5 weeks is "whuppin ass". I think you're confusing Romero zombies with Return of the Living dead. You can put down a Romero zombie, but every single person who dies from anything but a destroyed brain is going to stand back up and try to nom on the living.
Not sure that I agree that 90% of humanity dying in 3-5 weeks is "whuppin ass".
The problem with that article is that it assumes that only people who are bitten become zombies. In Romero's zombpocolypse and others spoiler: everyone who dies becomes a zombie. 250,000 - 300,000 people die every day even when the dead don't get up and try to kill the living. And if each and every one of these walking dead can infect you with a bacteria that kills you just by somehow breaking your skin? World be F***ed. The walking dead
Dark Side Ending: spoiler: You replace the Emperor's hand, becoming the greatest of his agents, eventually killing Darth Vader and taking his place. This keeps the long standing tradition of Darkside endings not being cannon, but actually gives the players who chose it a decent ending. None of this "You choose Darkside? You lose" BS that takes place at the end of every Force Unleashed.
Also anyone else think the prequels and these games make Luke Skywalker a bit of a laughing stock? Yeah, then again Luke learned all of his fighting skills from old men and used said skills to defeat his quadriplegic father. I love the Star Wars setting, but I've never thought of Luke as the ultimate bad ass by a long shot.
Sorry to hear that, I hope it isn't too costly a fix for you. I just had a $1,600 laptop crap out on me not long ago myself. Of course with mine it was that the entire screen was busted. I would hope a shorted power adaptor would be an easier fix.
They just reveled the crafting system today on the official site. I'm loving it.
I just don’t understand why the same people who are pushing for gays to be included in the boy scouts aren’t also pushing for them to let girls in....funnily enough, in some countries its 'Scouts' and IS for boys and girls now. There still exists Girl Guides/Girl Scouts as a single sex organisation, but there are unisex Scouts now. Cool. And in the case of such Unisex scouts I believe not letting in homosexuals would be discrimination. I’m just saying there is a valid reason to not let them in single sex scouts. I’m not saying that this valid reason is the actual reason the Boy Scouts (officially) don’t allow gays. I’m just saying a valid reason exists.
I just don’t understand why the same people who are pushing for gays to be included in the boy scouts aren’t also pushing for them to let girls in.
It would make sense to me. If you allow homosexuals in the school then what would be the point of not allowing girls? The fact that baring homosexuals to avoid sexual tension is equivalent to barring girls for the same reason has been my point all along. If you’re going to bar one you have to bar both otherwise there is really no point other than discrimination.
And last time I checked public schools had no problem letting boys and girls mix, so clearly sexual tension is not high on their priority list.True, but seemingly irrelevant to the acceptablity of a ban on homosexuals. But never mind...assume a public school that excludes girls. Again, I doubt that excuse would fly. It would make sense to me. If you allow homosexuals in the school then what would be the point of not allowing girls?
Personally I see the reason for keeping homosexuals out of the boy scouts as being the same as keeping girls out. They want to create a atmosphere free of sexual tension. Public schools are't a private organization ;) And last time I checked public schools had no problem letting boys and girls mix, so clearly sexual tension is not high on their priority list.
Personally I see the reason for keeping homosexuals out of the boy scouts as being the same as keeping girls out. They want to create a atmosphere free of sexual tension. The Atheist thing makes less sense to me however. You’d think the bible thumpers would be happy to let little atheist boys in with the hopes that being surrounded by Christians in a Christian organization might convert them. It didn’t work on me, but you never know.
If we're both still floating around these boards in 8 years put me down for 6 boxes.
Their policies aside, I’ve just never been much of a fan of caramel covered stale popcorn. Conversely a girl scout could show up at my door with a swastika tattooed on her forehead, and after telling me that every cent of their sales would go towards funding terrorism, I would still be tempted to buy a box of tagalongs. My gods are those cookies good.
I think I'm good to go. And Koros, you ride with someone else... Loosen up! Heh, sorry just getting these out of my system before the game.
Not working for me for some reason, says the url is wrong.
Koros guys, kOros. :P
Cool, though truth be told all I know about them is from Wookiepedia. I'll try and get Koros all stated up tonight.
This was great. Daily Show burns Union. Don't get me started on grocery unions. Yes you’re paid minimum wage. You’re paid minimum wage because when the minimum wage was designed somebody thought about how much a job position should pay if it requires minimum training, minimum skill, and minimum effort. Like say, I don’t know, taking cans and shoving them in bags? If we don’t pay these positions minimum wage, then why do we even have it?
He really isn't, he's one of the most laid back guys I know. His stories usually involved things like guys standing around piles of boxes that needed to be loaded and chatting when they should have been loading. Then when he would say something like "okay guys we really need to get these loaded." they would turn around and tell him to f--k himself. He often said it wouldn't have pissed him off as much if he could just load the boxes himself while the union guys slacked off, but if he tried to do that then he would be fired for violating the union contract. Now to be fair this was like 15 years ago, and I’m sure unions conduct themselves differently from area to area.
I’m not sure how most unions work, but I support them for most construction, at the very least roofing. I work for a union roofing company. The union trains our guys, so we don’t have to have training facilities on site or worse yet send out inexperienced guys. If a guy doesn’t perform we can just send his ass back to the union hall and ask for another guy. Union in the roofing industry is about standards, non union roofing shops are for the most part seen as bottom feeders who pick up their workers from the front of home depot on the way to a job. On the flip side I'm not a big fan of the teamsters union. I have heard some outrageous stories from a friend of mine who was a manager at UPS who said the teamster guys would slack off all the time, and basically told him to go f--k himself if he tried to make them work. He said he had no power as a manager because the union had to approve any disciplinary measures and they always backed the union members. My only personal experience with them was during the awarding of a group of schools to my company. I had to go to a meeting at the union hall where the GC called all the awarded contractors up, we said what our scope of work was, and the unions claimed what work would be theirs. The teamster rep spoke up every time there was any kind of unskilled labor on the job that didn’t belong to another union. The impression I got was that the teamsters union was the union of “simple s--t that anyone can do but you have to pay me more to do it”. This kind of union seems like the opposite of the kind of union in my industry.
Fair enough, here's his background, unfortunatly I won't be able to write up the characters stats until tonight if you accept him as my books are at home and I am not. Koros Yeroc Male Zabrak Jedi (Jensaarai) Koros’ story begins on the planet Iridonia where he was born. To whom, he can’t say, but what he does know is that he was dumped at an orphanage soon afterwards. Growing up in the orphanage Koros led a fairly normal life, his latent force sensitivity manifesting only in small ways which led the other kids and Koros to believe he was only very lucky. That changed shortly after his twelfth birthday, when he force pushed three other children during a fight, injuring all three. His force abilities now evident the orphanage confined young Koros to his room and contacted the Jedi temple on Coruscant. Unfortunately the Clone Wars had begun only weeks earlier and so the Jedi were unable to immediately send someone out to evaluate the child, however they were not the only ones who were interested in force sensitive children during this time. A Twi’lek former Jedi Knight named A’luna Yeroc was on Iridonia at the time, searching for new apprentices for her order, the Jensaarai. She had sensed Koros’ outburst, and tracked him to the orphanage. Posing as a Jedi, A’luna claimed she was there to claim the child for the order. The orphanage, all too happy to be rid of a potentially dangerous child asked A’luna for her verification from the council claiming responsibility for Koros. Having no such verification, but thinking quick on her feet A’luna explained that she was on her way back to the council, and in the area so she was asked by the council to pick the child on her way home, therefore they couldn’t send verification with her. The orphanage, unfortunately could not hand the child over to A’luna without the council claiming guardianship of him. Not wanting to leave empty handed A’luna asked if she could claim guardianship of Koros herself by personally adopting him. The headmistress of the orphanage was a little surprised by her request, but there was nothing illegal about it so she wrote up the paperwork and Koros was adopted. A’luna took the young Koros with her and set off for the planet of Susevfi, home planet of the Jensaarai order. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the Twi’lek at the time three Jedi led by Nejaa Halcyon had arrived on Susevfi, and believing they were part of the Sith conspiracy instigating the war, slew the Jensaarai Saarai-kaar Nikkos Tyris and his two strongest followers. When A’luna arrived the Jensaarai were already in hiding, but it didn’t take her long to track them down and find out what had happened. Under a new Saarai-kaar, the wife of one of Nejaa’s followers slain by the Jedi, the Jensaarai rebuilt in secret. And under the tutelage of his new mistress, Koros began learing the ways of the force. Over the next four years Koros’ days were filled with exercise, and combat drills. His nights, filled with study and meditation. Koros’ mastery of the force grew rapidly, as did his adoration for A’luna whom he thought of as his mother as much as his teacher. A’luna too began to think of her apprentice as a son, having no children of her own, and without the Jedi’s forbiddance of attachment or the Sith’s loathing of love their mother/son relationship was allowed within the Jensarrai order. Then the news came, the Clone Wars were over, and the newly established Galactic Empire had all but eradicated the evil Jedi order which had nearly wiped out the Jensarrai. The Jensarrai held a celebration in honor of the new Empire, and the end of their order’s hiding. Soon after, the Saarai-kaar sent her own son as a representative to the Empire with an offer to help the Empire hunt down the remaining Jedi. The Emperor’s apprentice, Darth Vader, sensing only good from the Jensarrai boy, struck down the Saarai-kaar’s son. The Emperor then sent his inquisitors to eradicate the Jensarrai on Susevfi, and again the Jensarrai were forced into hiding. The Empire however, were far more thorough in their hunt of the Jensarrai than the Jedi were. Many Jensarrai died during the assault by the Sith, and those who managed to survive the assault were either forced to hide deep underground, or to flee the system. A’luna and Koros were among those Jensarrai who fled after the Empire’s initial assault, believing Susevfi to be lost. A’luna continued Koros’ training on the run, the two taking odd jobs to earn enough money to eat and keep moving. For nearly three years the two wayward Jensarrai managed to keep off of the Empire’s radar, with only a few close calls. They found themselves on Bothawui, the planet had only a token Imperial presence, and A’luna along with her adopted son was able to earn a decent living among the Bothans. Unfortunately for the two Jensarrai fate conspired against them. During one of Koros’ odd jobs the Zabrak ran across a large crowd gathering around a tall building. Twelve stories up a young Bothan girl had fallen out of her window and now precariously hung by one hand from its sill. A rescue team had run up to save the child, but before they could reach her, her hand slipped and she plummeted to the ground. Koros, without thinking, used his force abilities to catch the falling child and save her from an untimely death. The crowd’s reaction was mixed, some cheering immediately, others were too shocked to make any noise at all, and still others murmured amongst one another. Koros, realizing he had just blown his cover immediately ran home. When he arrived at home A’luna had already heard what had happened and was in the process of liquidating their possessions to afford two tickets out of the system. They bought two tickets to Trinity Station, with enough money left over to barter passage from there to the outer rim. Soon after the two boarded the transport they felt a disturbance in the force. A strong darkside presence was making its way to the transport. Koros suggested that they go up to the cabin and force the captain to take off early to escape what was no doubt an Imperial agent. A’luna shook her head, knowing that if the Empire suspected a Jedi was aboard the ship they would capture it once it took off, or simply shoot it down to ensure no Jedi escaped. She knew that the only way to save her apprentice…her son, was to give their pursuer what he wanted. Smiling to Koros, A’luna told him how proud she was of him, and just as he realized what she was planning, A’luna used a force assisted punch to the stomach to knock him unconscious. When he awoke a few minutes later the ship had begun its ascent through the atmosphere. Koros could sense his mistress battling their unknown pursuer, he could also sense that she was greatly outmatched. Koros sprang out of his cabin and ran towards the cockpit with the intention of making the pilot turn the ship around. He nearly reached the front of the transport when he fell to his knees in agony, feeling the woman he knew as his mother struck down on the planet below. Standing up in shocked disbelief Koros managed enough strength to return to his cabin before he collapsed in tears, and by the time the ship docked at Trinity Station the young Zabrak felt he had no more tears in his body to shed. He disembarked the transport with an almost zombie like shuffle as he made his way to the ticket counter. Looking mindlessly at the assorted destinations Koros tried to plan his next move. He tried to think about where A’luna would have chosen to run next. No. Koros decided he was through with running. He had heard murmurs of rebellion on a number of the planets he had visited these past three years. He would find a group of like minded individuals, he would get stronger, and he would make the Empire pay for taking away the only family he’s ever known.
Rennick, would a Jensaarai character be okay? This should be about the time the Empire scattered them as well.
Ryan Reynolds is playing both Green Lantern and Deadpool in the upcoming Deadpool movie. Reprising his role from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He is considered quite an up and coming actor, and is frankly getting more work than Ed Norton is lately.Please tell me your kidding. That movie ruined Deadpool. Both Reynolds and the lady producing the movie have stated they want to throw Origins out the window and start fresh with Deadpool.
Depends on how nicely you ask. ... Excuse me, I have vacation plans to re-arrange.

Changing your wizard over to a Summoner might also be an option (it would take some stat re-working to be sure). That way your party gets the buffer they want, and you get control of an Eidolon which can be more “hands on” in the fight.
Unfortunately I think it’s just a matter of the players personalities. Some players just like to charge headlong into combat, and unfortunately again, all it takes is one of these players to drag the entire party into combat even if the rest wanted to talk/strategize. The only way I can think of to force these players to think outside the box is to show them that rushing in headlong doesn’t work. Of course it’s hard to teach a player this lesson without killing their character in the process. Luckily for the most part my group likes to mix it up, and we can generally tell what battles we’re supposed to talk our way through and what battles we need to bash our way through. Though this hasn’t stopped us from killing off NPCs who we were supposed to talk our way past, or talking our way past NPCs we were supposed to battle.
...So you're saying that the Swedish suck then?
As is parents can trade out the fries for apples, and soda for milk, and you can get chicken nuggets which is about as healthy as you’re going to get at a McDonalds. If a parent wants their kid to eat nothing but wholesome food then they shouldn’t be taking them to a McDonalds in the first place, because no child is going to be content going to a McDonalds and getting a salad. All that packaging the toys with a salad will accomplish is a bunch of waste bins full of leafy greens, and parents having to spend more money to get their kid the toy they want and the meal they want. After all, if the parent can’t say no to their child demanding they go to McDonalds for a hunk of plastic, then what makes you think they’ll be able to deny giving the kid a cheese burger and a mcflurry to go with their throwaway health meal?
I'm not a fan of the title. The Dark Knight Rises sounds like a prequel, and slapping a word after the title to the last movie just seems lazy.
If you still have an open spot I would be interested. I'm going to be putting together a game for my home group in about 6 months and it would be much easier if I had some experience playing the game.
Most of these guys.
*Sigh* I hate mondays.
What if you defeat it in a game of scrabble, but then it eats all your friends and you have to run away? Do you still get full XP ? Sure, but depending on how good the monster is at scrabble you might get a -1 to the CR of the encounter due to "favorable terrain."
This is how my DM did it with me, only I only got to say what type of character I wanted. I said I wanted some type of melee fighter and I got a human fighter with a dump wisdom and intelligence. My DM played him for the first few sessions to establish his personality and then passed him off to me. He ended up being one of my favorite characters to play, Leonidas meets Kronk from the Emperor's New Groove.
If I were to weigh in on that thread, though, my advice would be: "Ask your GM and don't be a jerk if your GM responds with an answer that won't let you cheat."That's NOT funny at all James. Inadvertently or not, you just called half the people in that thread cheaters. If I had thought it a deliberate insult I would have flagged your post as an attack. For the record, I did find his response rather humorous. Your oversensitive response was also rather amusing.
42. Make every shop owner and barkeep in the entire campaign be a high level former adventurer. Have them constantly talk down to the party like they're children. "Aw, is this your first +1 sword? That's so cute! I remember my first magic sword. Of course, I was about 5 years younger than you are..."
In D&D/Pathfinder, unless the GM overrules it, a person who talks their way past a fight costs everyone XPs.Sorry, but this statement is false. You get xp for "overcoming" challenges. You don't have to kill the challenge to overcome it. Pres Man's got it right here. And again, simply making a character with high diplomacy ranks and Charisma score is not roleplaying. Having a character with high ranks in "talkie" skills doesn't make him any more well developed than a character with high ranks in swim or acrobatics.
I wonder if someone who supported giving the "drama queens" more xp for roleplaying would also give the "power gamers" more xp for being better during combat.Since the majority of XP comes from killing things and taking their s~@%, I think the power-gamers are catered for. No, because the two aren't mutually exclusive. There's nothing stopping a person from min maxing their character and still roleplaying. Roleplaying does not mean making a character with a high charisma and ranks in diplomacy. Roleplaying means giving your character a personality, a motive, and a back story, and basing your character’s actions around those so he isn’t just a sheet full of numbers. Some of the best roleplaying moments in my group have come from the characters most optimized for combat. And to be honest the worst roleplayers in the group are also the worst at making combat worthy characters.
