Ok Im basically coming to a toss-up between a Dwalven or Tiefling Rogue - range focused.

If Im not mistaken we already have a number of 'face' and melee characters hence little need for a high charisma or high melee base.

How do either sound?

But, if anyone thinks that is unfair because at the start of the campaign it was prohibited, we will stick to that and do core rules only.

opinions?

I never complain when a player gets to play what he likes, after all i always said i prefer core classes, so won't change Esfana with a oracle anyway

The races or the roles? for the races i think tieflings are a lot better than dwarves for a rogue,as for roles remember your char was alive and with a life of his own before meeting the party, so if you like a "face" char feel free to do it.

Liberty's Edge

Yeah well Im thinking that the rogue is going to be a nasty uncouth bastard - a lot like say Tuco from tGtB&tU not liked by any one really and not liking anyone - but wants to get the job done.

Incidently Im playing in Zyrens Heart of Light and my character there is 20 Char and maxed diplomacy etc - so I do want to play something different :)


Male Tielfling Rogue 2

Ive chosen to go with the tiefling sniper type if Dm Zyren allows it.
(of course I added the profile and everything but the damn board ate it so Ill have to add things again and then edit to make it look needed - comming soon.)


Male Tielfling Rogue 2

Im assuming 1st Hit dice is max ie 8.
Second was .....

*drum roll*

1d8 ⇒ 4

*ta ching*

Ah well about average.


Male Tielfling Rogue 2

Ok Ive put up all the details. please let me know if it meets with your approval Zyren or if you want me to change things.
So as not to surprise you I will be tending to shoot and often rapid shot at that (+6/+6). The high initiative is to allow me to get sneak attack shots off when we encounter things.
Ive tried to maximise the rogue detrap abilities while keeping with the long range sniper too.
If this is not what you want in your game let me know please.

Palpatine here: STOP GIVING OUT INFO ABOUT THE FORCE GANDAL!

looks like a great character concept Nikolaus. Now I have to think about how to get you in. Sniper archetype is ok.

I think you have to decide how to go on, if you need further information just tell me.

Thorne:

I think Perdar Ardoc has sent you after them as an addition to the group. Maybe you bump just into them and tell them that you are the cavalry.


Male Tielfling Rogue 2

Zyren:
Sure that could work, but I obviously would need some kind of identification or document - otherwise whose to say that I'm not here to assassinate a certain someone.

OR AM I?!!!!!! :)

TA DA TA!!!!! <- Dramatic music

Liberty's Edge

Draven - just playing in role. Hardly know you but you obviously have had Alexdrite have airs of superiority (which is 100% ok by me) But Im having Thorne react as he would to such a taunt. Nothing serious :)


Have we lost Torald during the weekend?

Thorne:

Perdar has no document for you, he rather trusted your diplomacy skills. I figured you could have already worked for the Ardoc's and by that gained 2TPA/CPA with them and the a badge that signals that you are a mercenary of the Brotherhood.

Not realy. Had just a lot of stress at work

@Draven - Ill make it up to you ok? its only 3gp after all. While I might do something like this in the name of role playing and one upmanship - I promise that I will not do anything like this to endanger the group's members or their success. I sure as hell wont be stealing anything like gear.

Been out of town. By the way, see Evil Dead the Musical. It's FREAKIN' FANTASTIC!

@Nikolaus - Don't fret about it.

Dunno if you know it, but the italian dubbing had to change the pronounce of Palpatine's name, since the word "palpatine" in italian is a sexual reference :-(

I wonder who you heard italian from

Must have been the same Italian tourist girls that spoke it at me many years ago during a rather fruitful trip to Bali. The Germans were even better....mmmm German women.


lol-last week I met an old friend who spend the last year in India (Goa), he was all the while like "mmmm australian girls..."


Male Mazinger-type Fan of Go Nagai level 38

apart from the fact that the answer seems obvious (maybe too much obvious) anyone can answer or we need a minimum of Int score?

You know, at a table game i usually say that stupid char cannot solve riddles, no matter the cleverness of the player.


Yes, one of the big roleplaying questions. Your approach is the realistic one, but we usually fare with "If you have a stupid character try to play it that way", meaning that you maybe can solve a riddle by a flash of genius, but that shouldn't happen more than one or two times in your character's life :-)


See, our smart mouth solved the problem :-)


the sedcond one is significantly harder I think.


do you want to discuss your solutions or first come first serve basis?


Male Mazinger-type Fan of Go Nagai level 38

I would like to discuss, but since i have so little time lately and anyway Esfana wouldn't normally solve riddles the others can do as they please


Female Tian Rogue

are intellegence checks allowed for clues?


yes, one per riddle is allowed, but will reduce the amount of xp for solving.


Male Mazinger-type Fan of Go Nagai level 38

Zyren DM:
By looking at Alcheringa's sheet, he is of NG alignment.
Now, i don't want to tell others how to play their characters or to you how to DM him.....but i don't think he is following his alignment.And he cannot force the rest of the party to fight.


Gandal:

I'm also very very surprised, I think you should discuss that in group, nevertheless I will speak to him about that.


Shifty:

I agree on all points, I'd even agree that his actions marked him as CE. Maybe I'm too used to "Good characters always show mercy." I will reconsider that, it's a little bit like the death sentence debate.

Dark Archive

@Shifty and Niklaus - I have no idea what your open spoilered last two posts in game were about. I don't see any complaints in, or out of, game.


I was just wondering, if Alcheringa's action was maybe rather true neutral than neutral good. But since he could logically explain his behaviour it's totally ok for me.


Inactive days atm?


A short linguistic question:

Is this in modern English still possible?

"Don't do that! (just an example phrase)" said he.

instead of "he said" can one say "said he"?

I'm preparing Mary Shelleys Frankenstein for my students atm and I stumbled upon this. I think I never encountered it reading Shakespeare etc. and I wondered if this is a stylistic device of some kind, or even usual for the era of romanticism .


Male Mazinger-type Fan of Go Nagai level 38

I studied English on games handbooks and american superhero comics, so i'm afraid i cannot help here.

It is grammatically correct, but by modern standards you will sound like Yoda when you say it. If it is written that way in the book (and is an english language version and not a translation into english from another language) it is intentional and should be preserved.

As for William Shakespeare, the style in which he wrote was not how people spoke in that time and place. It was written for the stage.

Drayden is pretty much on the money.

It would be considered a very outdated phrase :)


Did I miss something on the game thread, are you waiting for an info?

Shouldn't be...

I suspect that people are waiting the next installment as we leave the sewers and move to the hand in... I suspect that someone will want that ring no doubt!


Male Mazinger-type Fan of Go Nagai level 38

I had a couple of days away from the boards, simple and straight

And i suspect i'll have more, since i just bought Dragon Age 2, and have still to complete Fallout new vegas and Mass Effect 2


Dragon Age 2 and Fallout New Vegas are major disappointments for me, but I really liked Mass Effect 2.

I liked FNV.

Although... I had just played through Stalker:Call of Pripyat, which is about the best game I've played in ages.


Male Mazinger-type Fan of Go Nagai level 38

I'll admit i never heard of this Stalker:Call of Pripyat


Female Tian Rogue

i know, this sounds odd to mention, but i just bought pokemon white version this past thursday. i like the new interesting gimmicks, halfway towards the 4th badge.

Then you have missed the greatest (imo) horror/FPS games of all time :)

The Stalker series (Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat) are some of the most impressive, desolate, and immersive games I have played. The detail and quality of the abandoned cities is just amazing, I spent hours just exploring the terrain.

Pripyat (city next to Chernobyl) is perfectly detailed. I had a friend came back from visiting the Chernobyl site with photos of Pripyat and I could tell him what building he was in just from the game zones.

Then again, he didn't have mutants to deal with :p
