So I tried the Magus out as my new Pen & Paper Character on Friday night at RPing.
Ariadne deSernosIt was... interesting. When she did finally hit, she insta-killed the poor Skinsaw Cultist with a Shocking Grasp enhanced Longsword that caused him to explode for 33hp damage! (which is a little overkill I now realize going back and looking at their stats and their measly 12hp :/)
I saw your comments about the issues concerning MAD. That's a big of a choke dependence on how you do your point buys. :/ Nevertheless, thanks for sharing!
Is anybody else following this strip?
Yep. They have an RSS feed through FB. :D
Yeah, been there
Thanks for sharing that! Joined their FB page...
Morning all. 400-some-odd posts over the weekend, I see. What did I miss?
Also, this is my first smartphone post. Take that, nosy bosses!
When I regain employment, it's the first thing on my to-buy list with the woman's approval.
*blink*
Busy weekend. Under the weather Friday night, so I bowed out of the weekly HS football game. Saturday was filled with my daughter's Sweet 16th BDay party. Sunday was football watching and our family dinner out for said bday.
Busy is good but boy do I need a nap! Too bad I still have to cover for the boss' vacation.
Hope all is good with you all.

Please tell us that Sweet 16 BDay party is nothing like we see on MTV. :p

Sweet 16!!!!
Growing up fast, huh?
Please extend belated birthday wishes.
Also, hope you're feeling better.
Actually that's not the moon talking to you. What we know as the moon has actually been hollowed out and turned into a hidden stellar fortress by humans who have been genetically altered to gain the traits of telepathy, advanced intellect, and accelerated healing. For many years, they've been content to leave us be, watching in amusement as we descended into a spiral of madness and destruction. But ever since we visited the moon and increased our space travel capability, they've begun to realize we could eventually be a threat. Now they are communicating with their chosen agents (i.e. you) in order to encourage you to turn against the rest of humanity and aid them in their conquest of Earth.The moon tells me things.
I, for one, welcome our psychically powered moon dwelling overlords.

Yup. A Dervish treats scimitars as light weapons for purposes of TWF. And I had forgotten how feat intensive the prereqs were. I think I'd recommend sticking with Fighter instead of the Bo9S classes. Especially if PHB2 is usable.@CJ and Urizen:
I thought that Dervish gained the ability to use a scimitar as a light weapon? Shouldn't he be using Scimitars instead of kukri's?
I was going to take on the Duskblade until I found out someone else was doing it. I'm kind of down on the 3.5 fighter, so what's going to appeal to me from the PHB2 to supplement it?
I've been liking what I've read from the Swordsage. Almost debated about doing a Swordsage 3 / Barbarian 1, but not convinced. *clicks tongue*
And yeah, I saw the scimitar entry too.
There are a lot of feats that are pretty darn tasty. Nope, don't recall any off hand as it's been a couple years since I cracked the book, but there are a lot of them and many are Fighter focused. Certainly worth taking a look at. I honestly never considered adding Barbarian. A raging Dervish could be scary.

Sounds like an enjoyable weekend, sorry to hear she's turned 16, you have my sympathies. ;)

Uri, I have found my Dex based TWF Bar/Rog to be pretty damn lethal, so far she has the highest kill rate in our Kingmaker game. I went with duel hand axes and keep her mobility up and took the optional "Frenzy" in place of Rage to bring her up to 3 attacks per round at Bar3/Rog2, she can take down many of the threats they've faced in 1-2 rounds if she gets the drop on them, nasty thing that sneak attack.

You should see a Bar/Pal use a Raging Smite on the BBEG. That's scary. :S
Awesomesauce! Unless there's a link posted and I haven't gotten to it, linky?Holy crap! My King of the Monsters entry, the doppelrat, for the first contest is on the KQ website.
It must have come in 11th. :)

Nice! But they're using 3.5 rules, so alas no Pathfinder goodies. Yet.

That's the beauty of it, the Frenzy appears in the PH2, or UA, I can't remember which ATM.I just ganked it for my little Mikli.... soon she may just take over the kingdom. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...ha?

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm going to look now! Anything WotC 3.x is assumed to be in play.
Looks like we got hit with a doppeltaig. BWAHAHAHA

Interesting. In my homebrew, paladin smite functions similarly to a barbarian's rage. Hm.

Hand cramps, everybody!
Our game last night was interesting. After spending all week planning our assault, sending emails back and forth and chatting about it, we got to our destination and found a back door. So all of our planning and arguing was for naught! LOL!
Still, we did kick a lot of butt and are on our way to finish off the rest of the current villains. Beware my Sword of Truthiness! Take that Dire Bunny!

I should point out that it happened by accident. A fallen Pali turned Bar regained his status after atonement and started down the path of pali again. Facing some brigands who had killed some farmers and taken the pretty teenage daughters, one of which had died from their "attentions" he flew in to a righteous rage and started smiting them.... we almost felt sorry for the brigands... almost.
Is anybody else following this strip?
yes however I have not looked in over a week. SO DONT TELL ME ANYTHING!

Morning all. It's been a while (540 posts) and will probably be a while again. It has been "highly suggested" we all start putting in overtime. It could be rough for the next couple of months.
Spent some good time with the kiddos over the weekend. They hiked with me on a rather difficult 3 mile hike yesterday. With little complaining. That's really something -- especially for the 4-year-old who I didn't carry at all.
Posted new pictures if you are interested.
Hope you all have a good week and I'll probably see you in another 500 posts or so...
Whoa! Sorry about the spam. I tried to post it, but it looked like I lost Internet connectivity. My iPad must have gone rogue while I was talking with my boss. :SConsidering the nature of the link we thought that you were making a joke. Had me cracking up. :P
Uh oh. My iPad has gained sentience and it has a better sense of humor than I do. (not that that is difficult--there are rock formations with a better sense of humor)
Urizen, i thought your praise on the KQ site was only reserved for Rone Barton. :)
Quick, tell me: am I missing anything? Do I need to know anything? Is someone waiting for a word from me with bated breath?

Pretty pictures, once again Moff!
Sorry to hear about the work situation. I hope things smooth out soon.
I remember hiking with my 3/4 year-old daughter, who would have me carry her up the mountain, and then insisting that we race down the mountain.
Quick, tell me: am I missing anything? Do I need to know anything? Is someone waiting for a word from me with bated breath?
Yes, no, of course. We all are.

Likewise.
Well, I better go. Later folks! Have a great day.

I have eleventy links to my latest KQ article, the doppelrat, which I submitted for the first KotM contest. It's an "honorable mention" of sorts. :)
Hmmm, maybe the metoprana will show up there sometime. I'd rather Charnie get up on there first, though.
Well, I better go. Later folks! Have a great day.
That plant was flying at supersonic speeds!

Haha! The difference is, I'm channeling the narcissistic Rone. Your kudos are well deserved, sir. :p
even if it does show some fawtly bias, but we'll overlook that one...*cough* *cough*

I'm always glad when you post your pics. Sorry work is being a beeyotch, but you know you're not missing anything when your gone.... just Jessica Alba offering herself to everyone on Fawtl..... but we'll fill ya in on how she was. :P
