I don't have the spell compendium, tho I'll likely score it eventually....but it's cool.

Freakin....taking out a CR 8 with a tasha's hideous laughter.....what a sight. ;)

It's like when we knocked that warforged titan on its ass with a Grease scroll...

BTW, good call on ending the fight. It was obvious how it would end anyway.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Meh....it's over, it's over; don't want it to devolve into a chore.

Wow.....death by first level spell....

[Patrick Curtin]

Yeah that was way cool. Thanks for giving Pip a spot to jam in :)

[dungeonmaster heathy]

You're welcome.

(LOL) I've heard all this "bard's iz teh suck" propaganda so I was worried; no longer...

[Vattnisse]

Personally, don't like playing bards. But that's not because bards suck; with a party this big, a bard is da roXX0rs.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Hell yeah!

I can tell this is gonna be a trip to the moon.

[Patrick Curtin]

Yeah. Never played one in all the 30 years I've been rolling dice. So far it's been a blast.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

I don't think I have either. It's on me to-do list, though I'd like to do a druid...

[Mothman]

Played a bard for several years in a 2e Planescape campaign. I had a lot of fun with the character (although he got a lot of ribbing from the rest of the party for his combat ineffectiveness). He did talk a Shadow Dragon into not totally destroying the party after it found us in its lair once…

[Ragadolf]

Great work 'Pip'!
I've only played a Bard on the NeverWinter Nights video game, I prefer Sorcerers. Tho I would like to play a Bard with a group someday,... I'm just afraid that I would try to play it like a singing sorcerer, probably wouldnt be that great. Not like YOUR bard! Keep it up! :)

This is my first run at a Druid as well, having fun so far!

[French Wolf]

Love dem bards.

Now monks are a different matter. I've seen people play one or two levels for saves etc but never seen a single class one do well.

Cheers

Thanks Ragadolf. Great to be back in a group with you. Your druid seems able to kick some serious @zz.

Um,... try a Monk on the Neverwinter nights PC game. If you mix it up just a LITTLE, dey is downright unstoppable one on one at mid-high lvls! Take a single level of sorcerer, so you can take the Dragon prestige class,... owies! Only a fighter/Sor/Dragon mix might do better, and I wouldn't want to bet on the outcome of that duel!

Nice to see you again too Patrick! Yeah, I never played a druid until now, I LIKES Elgan. He's fun to play. and shapeshift + Natural spell = lots of fun for the lil guy! ;)

[Vattnisse]

Thinking of Pip's rhyming - the image of Gittik scaling up the giant using his blades as climbing axes before biting the big bugger's face off is rather memorable.

Priceless,

Hm,... "OotS" vs "Reise's Regulators", not sure who would win that one! ;)

And great work on the lyrics! If you can keep that up, I'm gonna need to schedule more posting time, cuz all my current time is going to be spent ROFLMAO!

[Kruelaid]

Pip's an artist, man.

[Heathansson]

heh heh...

Man when you said that I had this flashback. Hopefully Pip wont be THIS kind of artist! LOL

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Shave your eyebrows! Do it! I'm the dungeonmaster!

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Family time--just to let you guys know; I'll be gone for the next prolly 6 hours at least; maybe I'll do something later in the evening.

[Patrick Curtin]

I'm always in and out on this fool thing.

BTW, I'm opening up for recruiting on Appalachee Jihad my D20 Gamma Wolrd PbP if anyone (already NOT in it LOL) is interested.

[Vattnisse]

That's a fun game, folks, so join in.

BTW, are we replacing the never-started Oliver as well, or just Billy-Ray?

I would, but I'm doing all I can right now. Looks cool as f$$~ though.

Ayup

I put out the call for 1-3 new players, I figured statistically that one would drop leaving us with two.

[Ragadolf]

<sigh> I'd luv to Pat, but like Heathy, I think I've already bitten off more than I can chew! Thx all same though!

[French Wolf]

Same here, thanks for the offer.

Cheers

[Heathansson]

I still can't read those critiques.
I don't know what it is.

[Vattnisse]

Critiques of what? The new superstar stuff?

I haven't even looked at thet this time around.

[Heathansson]

Yeah. I just read the items.
I don't care what people think this time.
I read snippets like "this item kicked open the door of my house, fondled my chickens, and...." or whatever and give up.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

I was kinda worried about trying to rip off Beowulf, but I think it's working.

[Vattnisse]

Loks real good so far. Just keep the dragon out of it, willya?

[Heathansson]

Aww, maaaaaaan....
I will, unless I come up with something wiggity whack.
A dragon flying out of the sky is so trite...

[French Wolf]

Have you guys got a house rule about full round action spells like enlarge person and summoning?

Just wondering if its to speed up play which works for me. Or if there is some kind of Rapid Summoning/Enlarging feat involved?

BTW, always looking to improve my DMing and I like the way you (and Mothman in his game) give us time to get ready for a fight. Love in over.

What does Gen-X have to do with getting good comments? You lost me here. Sometimes I need the Babel fish.

Cheers

[dungeonmaster heathy]

I just heard we need like constant positive feedback...I guess it was a private joke for me.
I didn't realize that enlarge person was a full round; I fudgeallowed the summon; it seemed to all fit into a round and a half...

[Ragadolf]

Yah, I didn't realize that Enlarge was a full round either. I was hoping the summon would fit into the 'free-ish' action I got for being hidden. If not, the dive-bomber-of-shiftyness can wait until the next round,... ;P

Looks great as always HEathy, I gots ta admit, you always keep us on our toes! I NEVER know what to expect from you! (Or from us either apparantly. A nekkid Gittik wasn't on planned list of ROFL yesterday, but I made room for it on my schedule!) ;)

[French Wolf]

Understand Heathy, recently I found out that sleep is not a standard action, only been using it for 8 years. That was due to Mothman's game. Doesn't matter to me, obviously, but the questions help get a feel for the way your game plays.

I am sold on your maps Kruelaid.

Stunning work.

[Vattnisse]

Enlarge person is a full-rond action??? Huh. I had no idea.

[Aubrey the Malformed]

Nor did I.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

I wonder how they figure that out. It's not that big of a deal, is it?

"Hocus Pocus--you're big." WTF?

[Ragadolf]

ROFLMAO!

WOoooo,... breathe, breathe,... ;)

[Vattnisse]

I really thought that the only full-round spells were summoning spells; this makes some sense, as the summoned creature takes a little time to materialise. Anything else should be instant - that's the magic of magic.

[Mothman]

Yeah, I only realised Enlarge was a full round to cast when I checked something on it for Elisile casting it in Aubrey's ROTRL.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

I need to run a damn wizard to learn this stuff.

[French Wolf]

Only reason I knew was playing a gnome sorcerer at a Con.

[Kruelaid]

Well I ain't getting small again.

Fakey, this is the regulators grid in png format and you should be able to flop it down over stuff you draw in the event you have more free time than me again one day and we need your mapping.

And Patrick, I think PNG is the way to go for my grids so that we don't lose the fonts. So I'll do up the others in PNG when I get the time.
