Dex it is, yes, thanks!

I'll shoot you a pm this evening with the rest. First day back at work after a week off and I've been a little distracted.

Victoria Edenburg:
Indeed, thank you for everything.  And yes, she would put that stat in Charisma.  Sorcerers do that, because they use Charisma instead of Intelligence.  But in her case, she's a Princess, so of course it is Charisma!



Sorceress...?  Not Wizard?

Will make magic equipment crafting more challenging, but not impossible.

If you're going sorceress, should take your racial bonus as Charisma instead of Int.

Last call, were going sorceress then?

Re: Chit Chat - Out of Character

Oh, I was just making a point, not suggesting a change. But crafting is modified by Int.  If she went Sorcerer, then I would leave stats as the are, or maybe bump one out of Wisdom.  Hmmm.  Both her becoming curious and reading to be a wizard or waking up as a sorcerer and then reading to find out why make sense.  Either way, both her Int and Chr drive her nobility.

Re: Chit Chat - Out of Character

mmm....


If you were 'just' a sorceress, i would be okay with going all in with Charisma, but i need Victoria 'Smart' to do certain things, so if you want you can split the bonus to get a 16 in Int and Charisma, but i'm inclined to lean into having you read books and study to get spells as opposed to closing your  eyes and channeling the force to manipulate magic.

Re: Chit Chat - Out of Character

Agreed.  And that fits some what we were talking about earlier.  So keep her as a bookish wizard.

And why now, of all things, do I have the video of Adam Ant's "Goody Two Shoes" stuck in my head?

Zander has a way of doing that to you.

Re: Chit Chat - Out of Character

Hey peeps i have an acceptance from the person i invited.

A Pally, so a light divine caster.  Which means you'll get some healing if not a lot.

A bit of Irish descent, which is groovy.

Oh you have no idea.  I read this at a baseball game.  It is true.  Players remember GMs.  They truly do.

And that post to Zander made me laugh out loud!

You have no idea how hard it was to wrap my head around game mastering for Zander the first time around.  Since then i've learned to take him as seriously as the player does which ... is way different from what i'm use to but amusing for the shock value it produces.

He's like Jim Belushi in animal house, or that blond stoner kid in fast time in ridgemond high .  It's not about being competent in life... it's about being amused in life.

Finally understanding that, i've gotton a handle dealing with him, i'm sure you'll all get the knack for it too eventually.

Re: Chit Chat - Out of Character

I've learned that as a player.  None of my characters in your games would doing what Victoria is doing.  It is learning to rp as you can, not as you should.  It makes for more interesting storytelling and more entertaining playing.

Re: Chit Chat - Out of Character

Sometimes you just look at what's around and go with it.

You really can't predict how Zander will do things.. so i dont try and just let it come to me and deal with it then.

That would be Senator John (`Brother Bluto`) Blutarsky.

Jeff Spicoli.

Oh, and 'Hi' Everyone!  New kid on the block here; looking forward to RPing with all of you once I get my character sorted out.

My bad, i you're right obviously but i was close enough for you to recognize my mistakes and know who i meant so not a terrible thing.

Was hoping to see Zander post his response but that might not come so i gues i'm off to bed.

Nite all.

Oh, MOrrigan and Auna should feel free to brainstorm with the other players.  They've gone through the process more or less and might have useful input if asked.

It is absolutely my OCD poking through; and was never intended as a slight to you, Fate.  As you say, it was obvious who you were referring to.

Hi Auna!  Good to have another neophyte aboard, though I suspect that you are not nearly as lost as I am.

Good night Fate.

Hello all

Auna will not be where I wind up in this campaign. The witch with a snow hare familiar is from the before times. For now, I am pondering a concept for this campaign.

Medic!  If you're looking for a class, may I suggest cleric?  We're going to need a healer or two.  I just know it.

I am so waiting for someone to tell Zander that she is a Princess.  Hopefully before she falls down...

There is a clue about you being a princess.  It's in his brain, but that's a twisty maze of passages, all alike.  Might take a little while before it finds its way to the part that thinks about things other power chords, rock anthems, and girls skirts.  When it does he'll figure it out on his own.

Well Victoria was never a part of the Northshire Brat Pack, she was more like Aeron's +1.  It has also been a few years, so that baby faced look has maybe softened.  The two together ... as well as Zander's alcoholic state, suggested to me that she would barely (if at all) recognize Victoria.
