Dragonborn3's All Hallow's Eve OOC thread

[Dragonborn3]

This is where all out of game discussion will take place, such as leveling up and adding new weapons to your characters.

[Bryan]

<bump> to add the little dot ...

[Dragonborn3]

Wonder why your the only one to post here so far...

[Abraham spalding]

Becuase people didn't realise you had two different links... they just saw the one for the actual game to start... and without any exp or anything yet, why discuss the game 5 posts into it?

By the way, I'm going to start posing Elijah's spoken words in bold and his thoughts in italics to help keep them seperate.

[Abraham spalding]

Did I sleep in my armor (and am therefore fatigued) or did I not see a need for it last night (and therefore am unarmored)? Either way I don't mind just need to know.

[Dragonborn3]

You fell asleep at the table right? Well the question to ask is if you just arrived in Sandpoint last night or if you've been there a long time. It's up to you.

[Abraham spalding]

probably a little while, long enough I thought it worth asking. I'll just go without the armor for now.

[Abraham spalding]

I think I misread something, did the serpent laugh or did I?

I was under the impression that it was the serpent...

Also what sort of slither is it? The "Get to the Target!" slither, or the "Holy S4@t! Protect me mommy from the strangers!" slither?

Are we talking a really fast movement or just a "hey I know that person," Mosey?

[Dragonborn3]

You laughed, after all a cleric jumped away from a tiny serpent! That's just funny.

The movement should be obvious whith my lastest post on the game

[Abraham spalding]

oops, oh well what do you expect from a wisdom 8?

[lastknightleft]

Hey DB I just wanted to remind you that I post from work, so you won't see postings from me about my character on the weekends unless it's non-mechanics related cause I keep the character sheet in my desk. Sorry about taking so long to post.

[Bryan]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up - I will be on vacation in Florida from Dec 23rd to Jan 7th. I should still be able to post, but it will likely be reduced in frequency (I'm still hoping 1/day, though). If anything starts to get held up, feel free to DMPC me.

[Dragonborn3]

Hey I don't want to be a rules lawyer, but how is Abraham smiting twice per day at first level? I thought we were only allowed to use the beta and MM3 for feats for our characters, extra smiting isn't in either of those? Did I miss something where you said we had access to more books for feats? If not since he got one feat from an outside source can I also get one? Cause I would love to get Jump Kick from the Complete warrior, it allows extra damage as part of a charge.

[Dragonborn3]

He's playtesting the paladin from the playtest boards.

I'm very much aware of that, I was on the paladin threads for the entirety of the discussion even several weeks after the discussion closed. Jason said he was considering adding extra smiting but was concerned that the changes to smite would make it too powerful, then the feat section rolled around and he didn't add extra smiting to the list of new feats to playtest. Also the new smite doesn't add extra rounds till level eight.

If you're allowing him to have the feat I have no problem with it, I just think it'd be cool to allow us all to have one non-beta feat since he got one.it's your call.

[Dragonborn3]

I'll have to look it over.

[lastknightleft]

kool, and just to be clear I'm not asking for it now, I'll just eventually want it when I get level up feats if you say yes.

Guess I can change Lashara's spells around after we camp/sleep in an inn.

What about complete adventurer, was that intentionally left off?

[Dragonborn3]

As I currently don't own the book yes it was. Except for one feat, because it is the only one I remember.

Yes but if you notice all 180 were about how wrong he was and how he was an ass to me :) after like a month I checked it out. still it's not like the conversation took off it was really more of a argue about being burned discussion then an effort to discuss healing at range.

"Elijah has found little evil in this goblin. Porbably no more so than you wound find in any one of us. Would you kill an sentient creature, that is no threat to us, and risk becoming evil yourself just because you hate like that creature? Your starting to sound like a demon."

Sorry about that Bryan, but I couldn't resist the chance for good role-play. Nice description of what demons do by the way. :)

Hey, no problem ... I always enjoy a little inter-party conflict. More realistic than the "we just met an hour ago, but we're the bestest of friends" stereotype. So long as no one's knifing each other in the back, it's all fun!

[Dragonborn3]

Not to point fingers on insinuate something, but there is a rogue in the party, so if theres any knifing in the back...

[Bryan]

Someone please refresh my memory ... lesser vigor does what, exactly?

It gives you fast healing one for 10+1/per caster level. These are caster level 1 potions. If you are dying you auto stabilize. This spell does not restore hp lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation nor does it regrow lost bodyparts. Multiple aplications do not stack but the effect of the first spell is extended by the duration of the second apliccation.

I've got to admit I was hoping for a chance to see someone actually role-play there character instead of saying "Sehkola hits Lashara." That just gets so boring after a while.

edited to fix

for a number of rounds equal to 10+1/per caster level

Concerning the hammer, we'll use beta. Concerning xp, use 3.5.

That's what I'm saying the beta doesn't clarify. They use the word "break", the word break doesn't neccessarily mean that the broken condition is applied since by the condition it states that whenever a weapon takes damage and by the spell nothing takes damage unless it's crystalline, it could easily mean the weapon is destroyed, in this instance it comes down to DM adjudication as to whether you interpret the word break to mean apply the broken condition or to mean the weapon is destroyed. also if you want we can move this to the OTD discusion, I'll repost it there.

And relooking at the spell in fact it says that it Sunders (not even breaks) a single solid non-magical item. and so we have to check the only other place in the rules where the word sunder is clarified. there it deals with damage, but the spell deals no damage. So the closest I think it can come to is to replicate the effect of dealing max damage to the weapon in that instance the person who cast the spell can choose whether to break (i.e. the broken condition) or destroy the item targeted. So the question is do you think they would have chosen to leave him with a slightly damaged hammer or a completely shattered stump.

Not to be a rules lawyer but since this is still something we can report in the playtest threads I think it's important to deal with these kind of issues as they arise. so that hopefully clarification can be reached.

[lastknightleft]

also which xp chart are we using?

[Bryan]

lastknightleft wrote:

Db3 said the 3.5 xp chart, so we should all be able to level, I think.

[Dragonborn3]

You can level after you sleep. House rule from one of my RL DMs that I like.

[lastknightleft]

what about the hammer situation?

[Dragonborn3]

Bits fell off here and there, making the hammer unbalanced and imposing the -2 penalty Abe talked about. A perception check(dc 10) to place all the parts back in the right spot and a mending spell will fix.

[lastknightleft]

wow, I mean you had to take the nerf to darkness, that one was nerfed in stone, but to choose to take a nerf to shatter (assuming that was the spell used) when given a rules legitimate argument for it to be better, your a better man than I.
