So you are trying to tell me that ABQ at 6000 feet is warmer than Tuscon at 1000 feet. Yeh, guess that would be true. Just don't get any creative ideas for traps for your gnoll to lead us into now that you live in the desert.
Gratz on the job Voodoo.
If you ever want to learn to appreciate the cold - I suggest you move to the tropics. 31 degrees C and close to 100% humidity every day grates after a while...
Tirion- no, i'm saying it rarely freezes in Tucson, a bit warmer than the high desert of northern NM. and i've spent half my life in the desert- thus i'm running 2 campaigns in Katapesh ; )
Mark- I'm talking 46-48 C summers in AZ, but yeah, 10% humidity makes all the difference and I'll likely be spending much of my summers back in 'burque.
Spent my formative years in the midst of a red desert at Kalgoorlie and a smattering of other tiny mining towns in Western Aus. I think the worst day snuck into the low 50s, and low 40s were awful common. When the road surface starts getting tacky you know it's hot ;)
Dry heat I can take, but the humid stuff here in Malaysia is just spirit sapping if you're out in it doing anything exertion worthy.
Yeh - been in Vegas at about 110 (~45C), when you walk outside, it hits you like a hammer, but it is easy to deal with, at least for a while. Even here in Chicago, the humidity at 90 (~35C) drains me almost immediately. Two things I hate are high humidity and flat land, and I am stuck with both here. Trying to get my better half to move, but no luck yet - only been trying for 15 years, hopefully I will have some luck someday.
Awww Voodoo!
Well Pitr and Swan will make a nice couple, and in some small way no doubt Victoria takes some personal interest in seeing Pitrs salvation from hard bitten tough guy to settling down and becoming a 'good guy', maybe it helps fill her flinty coal black heart with a little warmth.
Besides, she had a vengeful Taldane Captain killed in cold blood to ensure that Pitr and Swan could live happily ever after together, not to mention 'dealing with' meddlesome hookers who were spying on him. The Godmother and her prized Hitman taking care of business so Pitr could live happily ever after.
He sleeps with the fishes so Pitr can sleep with a Swan :p

Ahhhh yeah gets hot out in those dry Aussie areas.
Unpleasant stuff.
Well to be honest, one of the hottest experiences I've had was when my Dad decided it would be a great idea to drive in a car convey from Kalgoorlie to I can't remember where on a day where it was mid 40s. Normally not a problem, what with air conditioning and such.
But in this case I was sitting in the back of an Austin 7 with my two older brothers squidged in either side of me. I think it was four odd very hot sticky and tiring hours later before we got released from our purgatory.
Changing tack slightly - any Psionic lovers here? - Dreamscarred just released the first instalment of their Psionic AP. Reading through now.
I was working in Phoenix in 1990 when the temp hit 122 F. They had shut the airport because they did not have a computer model of the jet take-off requirements that went that high. I was working outdoors doing archaeology in downtown Tempe at the time, which gave us some shade but were surrounded by asphalt. I lost 7 pounds in 3 days. Luckily that project only lasted three days or I might have melted away.
They ended up recalibrating the airport computers to handle temperatures up to 140 F. Let's hope they don't ever exceed that.
Awww, losing Pitr is sad - at first we lost Zahur, now Pitr - the whole original frontline gone :(
I think we have to rearragne the whole party back in Karcau.
When Flofer replaces Harl, there is still one spot to fill.
Oh yeah and the most important stuff: Congrats on your new job and welcome to the world of middle school teaching!
Flofer, what about becoming the mayor's nephew?
Mr Voodoo - does that mean that the Osirion expedition is going to be down a Jaru as well?
Dunno if you want any more Tirion's around, but what are you looking for in the HoL? And what campaign AP is it so that I am not getting into the same campaign multiple times.
It's a homebrew and I think we are looking for some melee prowess.
Rolls for potential HoL character.

Sounds good! I'll post myself in a little later today, right now I'm just snagging a post between classes!
I hear someone is looking for some muscle up front - Grumbar at your service.

"Pleased to meet you Grumbar! Are you related to Chewbacca by any chance?"
No, but I hear that wookies taste like chicken. Nice to meet you Solaric.
Pitr, Congratulations to your job. Honestly, if you can arrange it, I prefer you staying in the group.
I guess it's some kind of stone texture, not hair :)
Knock knock, anybody home today?
zzzzzzzzzz . . . guess I will go back to sleep.
Yeah, very quiet!
I just got home from my afternoon gig, but there has not been much since I posted this morning.
I'm just sick. Again. And still busy with school. At least I got my computer back up and running.

If you people didn't have real lives we would not have this sparse posting problem.
I don't have much of a real life, that's got to count for something.
@ Flofer: You will start with 20.900 xp and you may spend half of the WBL table for equipment.

Same thing for Grumbar? I bought with wbl. Make no difference how fast he gets added as I am a just starting a few other games.
It's always WBL:2 - and yes, same xp for Grumbar.
How many games are you in now?

Er - 11 I think. Just started 2 more this week - Tark's assassins and a Kingmaker style one.
Hope it is ok, I just got 1 item for Grumbar, an Amulet of Mighty Fists. But I made it Keen rather than a bonus to attack. I think this is allowable. Should give him a 19-20 crit range rather than the base 20 only for unarmed attacks.

Another day of being sick (beyond the ill foot that is, that has been plaguing me for months now...), first time in over a year I had to look for a coworker to work my nightshift at the gas station... (not an easy task finding somebody willing to fill in on a sunday night).I hate being sick...
Good night everybody!
Sort of been a bit busy of late - still posting though! :)

2) youc an't make a bludgeoning weapon keen.
** spoiler omitted **
Tirion--I stand corrected on item #1. #2 is still valid, as far as I know.

Thanks, will have to figure out what I can do to fix this.
27 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Stupid cold.
q Vaughn: Thx for pointing out - makes sense :)
Forgive me my spotty posting atm, we're moving house soon and there are a zillion things to organize.
I'm not even sure where I'm living in February...or if I have a job. Living in China is so random at times....
Thanks, will have to figure out what I can do to fix this.
Well, I know that one of the 3rd edition splatbooks introduced an "impact" enhancemetn that's essentially "keen for blunt weapons." There are valid arguments for and against that method.
You can also custom-make an item/enhancement (pending DM approval, naturally) that grants a feat (Improved Crit: Unarmed Strike). I odn't have the time or the wherewithal to figure out the cost of such a trinket, though. :-)
No problem - I am coming in at level 5, so I should get to where I can get Improved Crit in a few levels. Or I can always use weapons.
Could I use the cestus, but do unarmed monk damage? I have seen it handled both ways on the boards I think.
@ Tirion: Yes, I guess that should be possible.

Thanks, I may switch the character a little and take 1 level of fighter, will have this figured out tonight.
Afternoon everyone. I don't really have anything important or spectacular to say, I'm just trying to get the tumbleweeds cleared.
