Just curious if anyone else interprets this the way I do. At the gaming table last night my druid cast Produce Flame and it was ruled that the spell takes 1 standard action to cast but the attack(s) doesn't happen till the following round. It doesn't say that in the spell description and if that were the case wouldn't that rule apply to ALL touch attack/ranged touch attack spells? That would be a serious hindrance to spell casters in my opinion.

The DMs rebuttal was that it is simply because the spell lasts longer than 1 round (ie it lasts for 1 minute per level or for a number of attacks for each caster level ... whichever comes first).

DM quick question. You said no stat higher than 18, do you mean before applying racial attributes? Or after?

Woot! I really want to play this AP. I will edit Ari Mai to fit your requirements first thing tomorrow. A swash buckling fighter rogue type.

Has recruitment closed for this? I really want to play this AP. Submitting Ari Mai for approval. I will have to reduce his level of course as he was made for a higher level adventure that I didn't get into.

Alright then. Enjoy your campaign I suppose. Lol

But 4d6 drop lowest 1 would produce smaller numbers than 6d6 drop lowest 3. That aside, my stats are below most people in the campaign.

Like this one for example:

Str 21 , Dex 18, Con 20 Rage: 24, Int 12, Wis 8, Cha 18

Actually, he was rolled using 4d6 drop lowest 1.

DM Jelani has graciously allowed me to use a different character I've been itching to play. He was rolled up for another campaign.

I will be playing Gunk as soon as I am officially approved.

When is this bloody thing going to get under way? There is a whole lot of gum flapping, a bunch of posturing and puffing out their chests, a few people eating, and even one getting falling down drunk. Yet I still don't see one demon getting cut down! To heck with you guys. I am going out on my own!

With that, Ari Mai jumps out of his seat and heads out the door; slamming it behind him.

Yes will do.

Ari Mai sits quietly at the table absorbing all that is going on constantly reminding himself that patience is indeed a virtue. The demons aren't going anywhere and he isn't likely to miss his chance.

Ari Mai smiles at the newcomer and says Well met Rosa. My name is Ari Mai. I hope you don't mind me asking the obvious question but why do they call you the demonslayer? Are you from around here? Or do you slay demons elsewhere? You seem to have experienced that which all of us soon to hope to.

Nathaniel, Barack, Torbin, Viorel, and myself then? Seems to be formidable to me. If all are agreeable to these groups, then may I suggest we spen a bit of time gathering last minute supplies and then meet at the gate tomorrow morning? I would suggest we pony up some cash for either a wand of restoration or perhaps healing; or both if we have the cash. What do you think? Ive got a little over 900gp on me.

Inquisitors make poor tanks in my experience.

Bahahaha! I was wondering who the heck Bigger Club was and what did he/she have to do with the game.

Sorry to see you go Tamas and good luck with college. Having 3 degrees myself I understand the commitment it takes to complete them.

This makes Jin's group distribution a bit questionable. Now we need a front line tank.

Mad?

Ari Mai smiles at Torin and flags down the waitress as she brings Peitry his meal.

Another flagon of that horse pee for the dwarf and I'll have a glass of bunny sweat please ... I'm sure that my fine dwarven companion will soon be calling it that so I might as well get used to it; elven reisling please"

Ari Mai listens intently to the political discussions and nods in agreement.

It seems wise to lay the ground work for such things as Peitry has said. And as for your offer Peitry, someone of your arcane knowledge and power would be a welcome addition for sure.

This does seem a more balanced division. I think there was a second wizard awaiting approval if I am not mistaken. Sure would like to see another healer. Having a ranger and a paladin in the same group offsets some of the healing but it still isn't a full on cleric.

DM Jelani, are there any others waiting for approval? I saw two wizards in the recruitment thread. Is there any more healing types?

I'd personally never go out into the Worldwound infested with demons without some kind of scout. An ambush from demons or even a competing party could prove ... costly.

after a brief pause Ari Mai continues

I'm not comfortable with both viable front line warriors in one group. Particularly if that same group made off with the only healer available as well. I'd be honored to call Nathaniel, Kenan and Rogarson my companions but I'd call that a bit squishy. Squishy with no healer is a bad combination.

Indeed that is a bold suggestion. Those of us not selected for your adventure might get offended at the slight.

Ari Mai examines the newcomers trying to assess their worthiness.then he looks back at Nathaniel to answer his question earlier.

I was actually born here in the Worldwound. My parents were among the earliest folk to fight the demons that have poisoned this land. They were slain many years ago and my sister was lost to me. I was just a boy and I panicked. I fled to Ustalav where I lived off the streets swearing one day to return here to find her. As for my skills, lets just say I am good at putting sharp bits into the parts where it hurts the most.

Ari Mai leans over to Torin and says That stuff smells worse than the 'exotic ladies' down in Two Copper Alley. Though I'll not drink it myself, I'd be honored to buy you another round.

Hrm, that Torin is a wily one. I'm doing the same I think. Well, to one of my short swords anyways.

Ahem Ari Mai clears his throat

For some of us it is neither honor nor coin that drives us. I am here to find my sister, if she still lives, or some sign of her passing so I can at least grieve her passing. I will not deny I am at least somewhat motivated by vengeance though I am often told such a thirst is not easily slaked.

After a brief pause ...

Forgive me, for I do not mean to sound so righteous.

Ari Mai listens to the chatter in the taproom from the safety of a shadow in the corner. His drink sits untouched on the table in front of him. One conversation in particular catches his attention so he disengages from the shadows, grabs his drink, and moves carefully towards the table.

Greetings gentlemen. It is good to see others of elven blood. I've missed the company of my own kind for sure. I couldn't help but here you bring to voice one of my own concerns regarding this endeavor. Indeed what would stop someone from killing the others? Out there things will likely get pretty lawless.

Ari Mai pauses for a moment to take a sip from his tankard.

I've thought about this a fair bit and I would say that there's probably plenty of demons out there, if rumor be true, to keep us all busy for a long time. We probably won't have time to start stabbing at each other.

Ari Mai casts a glance at Nathaniel and nods at him as an invitation to join the conversation. Then he shakes the big dwarf's hands and says

Indeed the weather is good. It puts me in good spirits. Where are you from?

What are the formatting conventions for this pbp campaign?

Bold for speech?
Italics for thoughts?
*asterisks* for actions?

Ari sizes Tamas up and wonders what would bring a Duregar out of hiding. Eventually he walks over to Tamas and says:

Greetings Tamas. Ari Mai is my name.
