You do have Mabrooks folding boat to go up river.
And I'm sure you can borrow, rent or procure another boat somewhere past the Deacon-Town port and taverns.

There are farmlands and farmers who use the river to transport their goods.

Can Relwyk cast Guards and Wards over the ship and be able to find it as the spell's originator?

For purpose of finding it to teleport back to?

You will be around 25ish miles away, so most detect abilities are useless. And you wont get a "ping" feeling where the ship is.

Hmmm. Maybe just a Fog bank to obscure it, then.

Oh, wait. Mirage Arcana would do the trick without making me lose that 'ping' feeling, right?

I'm able to access all Arcane spells. Does that include Bard spells?

That spell is also a sorcerer/wizard spell. So yes.
I think you're putting too much thought and effort into something in character you would just "try" thinking it would do the trick. Not deliberating all morning in game about what to cast.

I was just trying to add stuff for fun.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the mists less powerful lower down, near the ground?

That hadn't been looked at. The mists are about 10-15 feet above the water at the top. Same away from the waterfall. and again the same above the pool at the bottom.

The only things discovered about the most is that 5 feet in. A warding effect confuses the mind to where you are. There is no save and no resistance to it.

The rock slopes to either side are dangerous to climb, however the left side has a path you spotted that you can climb up without skill checks or issue.

If flying or hovering uo, just indicate where you do it, ie if you fly up along the waterfall or fly up along the rocks.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 9):

So, to confirm, we've got mists that hug the ground and confound the mind as to direction. They also hug the ground around the visible paths? So that there is no apparent way to avoid the mists?

If the only effect is loss of orientation, we could simply accept the effect while following something not affected. Maybe the compass won't be affected and thus we have nothing to worry about as long as we follow the compass and stick together until we're through the mists. This could simply be like a giant door to which the compass is the intended key.

sticking close to the ground and paths are ok; walking and climbing. but anything that flies will potentially have issues.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 11):

Ahahahaha what a 3 headed goat

Something tells me it doesn't really eat metal. Wanna feed it something? Or kill it?

I posted IC. :)

I'll be gone Thursday through Monday(ish)
Hurling Nationals
Might have some downtime to check in.

Can Wall of Force be conjured as a walkway?

Technically, yes.
10ft square path per level

Leaving for vacation tomorrow. I'll definitely be unable to respond to posts or update. But might find downtime to at least check in because I'm addicted to rpol.

Back October 1st

Can Mending be used to reconstruct a broken-apart skeleton? Or is there any spell that joins broken things together once more?

I'm going to say yes. The last line of the spell says it does not affect creatures. So if someone breaks a bone and is living that wouldnt work. But once they're bones I'd say it's an object.
But it wont just reconstruct from afar, you'll need it close. And it only mends 1lb so you will need multiple spells, a skeleton weighs roughly 20lbs

So if she flies over she can rejoin skeletal remains, with the bones 'knowing' which of the myriad bones to reconnect with?

Yes, sure.
But they would need to closer together, and you need to be closer to them. Right now they are between 20-25 feet deep.
AMD you would need to cast the spell alot.

DMs birthday. Everyone levels up. HP and Spells full.

Happy Birthday! And Zomg! Level! Nuerrrr!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Birthday, boss!

Happy B-DAY!!!

Esfaran, did you remember that the confusion mists were only 15' above water when you stated that TAWAZ was 30' above the bone creature?

The water was drained 20 feet. But the creature is 10 ft tall. So it could be 25 feet at best before being in the clouds.

Happy Halloween!

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 28):

I'll keep him with me, it's fine.

Relwyks tome can only cast identify once per 24hrs.

And detect magic will only grant some information into the magic items.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 31):

She has an artificer's monocle... I figure with that I can get everything identified?

I didn't see she had it.
It takes the detect spell, and an additional minute per item. So with that horde she is just barely able to identify it all.

I only remember that she had it because I remembered borrowing it, but perfecto!

Between Artificer's Monocle and Spell craft +19, consider it done.

I'll put the OOC discussion out here Mixi.

First - Yeah, the DM is very aware of what my character can do as I've already done this sort of thing with this character on more than one occasion. This is what this character is BUILT to do. So... no concern there. In fact, I've already done this once in the presence of everyone, though not in full view.

Second - yes. I am aware of the information I posted. This conversation started in a different location, so, because you separated yourself from the group, you missed how it began.

It began because Mabrook informed the others that they were welcome to accompany him as he ran an errand. Their presence was not requested, and Mabrook made it clear that if they are unwilling to follow his instructions to the letter, their presence is not wanted. Esfaran expressed interest and had a question, and this is Mabrook's answer.

You might have known that had you stuck around for the encounter, but as you didn't, I hope this provides the relevant context.

I'll now respond to you in character.

Happy to retcon my statement, but arguably even a SLA detect magic might be noticeable, since it requires concentration to maintain.

Please note in accordance with GM posts MixiFidd did not utilise any SLA and her msg#3 has been modified accordingly.

Sorry guys MixiFidds cant & won't associate with any Evil beings, regardless of any purported benefits acquired from this activity.

My RL is in the suck.  Sorry I'm not posting more frequently.

Must have missed the post. What was the treasure pointed out by the compass?

It was a whole separate thread actually.

And the treasure... it was a bauble of some sort. Like a cup or something, yeah?

Humm MixiFidd had taken Marbrooks statement of needing a couple of days, for his dabbling with evil, to scout out the island and it reads like when she returns will the ship won't be there.

I'm wondering what the reverse alignment is of true neutral ... is it one of LG/CE or is it anything other than true neutral?

Hmmm... I think True Neutral has no opposite. It's like an empty set. Similar to the relationship to bald and hair colors, or clear to colors.

I was thinking that ... if that's the case then I could use the Int/Wis bonus.  If not then it might be able to be used to turn a bad guy :)

And Mabrooks BINDING could take days. The summoning only about an hour of preparation and an instant of the spell works or not.

Range to enemy?

When it was spotted it was 450 feet away.
After your first set of actions it will be 300 feet away. (Firing range of most projectiles) Glub slowed it not stopped as it is 160 feet exactly.

It is a 2 masted ship

Well, medium spell range for me is 220'. I will look at long range options.

For your enjoyment. When I heard this, I thought of Mabrook.

Appologies, My life has been rebooting and it's been ackward. Will be back in force next week.

Werd, good to have you back mon freir!

Pretty sure Karza wasn't on that boat dude. Darsan and Karza are the same player.

Darsan isn't Karza.
From where I came in, I was on the ship with someone else in the slave chamber.

It seems the party is letting this day pass, yes? Darsan and Esfaran are doing busy work.
Any objections to the next day coming.

You shall... pass! :p

So... between that and way too much work... I feel the pain of a new obsession.

PC? If so I'll join you sometime. :)

Switch, only saving grace is brother watches my netflix on the tv, so i'm limited by battery life sessions.

If the group leaves without Rind, what are the chance he could follow them a few minutes later without surival skill or track.

got the flu pretty bad so productivity and energy is at 0. ill post or reply if i can

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 62):

Ugh, fluids bro, and vitamin c and b12.

My my, but Mabrook sounds........peeved.

:P

Murder and blood sacrifices may have been mentioned when the rumbling began, but who can really say?

It was more a question of if Rind could follow 2 druids(+ company?) through a unfamiliar jungle to a unfamiliar location. E.G. did they mark the path at all.

Mabrooks basically decided.

By communing with nature, did you mean spell prep or that actual spell? regardless time spent scouting would have given more detailed information then most of what Mabrooks could weasel out of servants anout the layout if the island.

The map may have been intended to be simple, but also could be detailed showing terrain features or even creature concentrations if commune was used. Some of which could add circumstance modifiers to Mabrooks survival shelters.

If anyone has adaptated to acid fog, it will be the immobile surviving plants and R-selection species and tgey may be worth looking into.
Esfaran's choice mostly i guess.
This message was last edited by the player at 18:54, Sat 02 Feb 2019.

Communing in a spiritual sense. no spells

Scoira actually found animals suited for the acid.
There were several different checks made on the first and second day here. Its a huge island. not a simple walk across and back in a day. theres too much to actually map it all.

How far am I into the Legend Lore spell?

Ouch 2d6 weeks is a long cast time.

1d10 days actually

day 2 of 7 i think it was

To whom it may concern.

Scofflaw (Su): Divinations cast by lawful characters are difficult to perform on chaoticians. This ability functions much like a non-detection spell, except that it is useful for shielding a chaotician only against creatures of lawful alignment. Such creatures must succeed on a caster level check against a DC (19) of 15 + the chaotician's class level(1) + his Cha bonus (3) to successfully employ a divination against a chaotician. This ability can be suppressed or resumed as a free action.

Mabs, what type of Huge Elemental can give us the best short-term boost? Air to fill the sails, or Water to speed us through? I assume we are too far from pirates to affect with a vortex.

My suggestion would be Water Elemental.

Whirlwind over water MAY end up turning into a water spout. That would be... awkward.

Water vortex could conceivably slingshot you if you lift the sails at the right moment.

A bunch of air mephits, however, can cast Gust of Wind... so that's what I'd go with. Huge HD worth of Air Mephits.

You can make a check as your action to see if your close enough.

Your druids have both a Wind and a Water elemental companion too...

In reply to Mabrook (msg # 77):

Air elementals struggle to form tornadoes, size plays a large factor.

3 larges ones or 2 huges ones work better.

A current would be a better stable solution, a rip tide to drag the boat if you don't need the sharp turn or short duration. Have the elemental swim in front and drag you with their wake. Benrfit of adding guidance around rocks and submerged hazards your too fast to notice.

Wind behind, negative water pressure in front.

Could crack open stormwrack for spells too.

More post doing actions, less posts hypothesizing.
If your character knows how to do these things or physics is different than making a perfect plan.

I'd kill for a heart of water spell right now, but the swim spell and the water breathing spell would work.

One allowes me to reach the enemy ship, the other to breach it with impunity to most side effects.

But you guys are full casters and if the frog barbarian approach doesn't seem reasonable thats up to you guys.

Ooc - Granted were PCs and they're NPC, we should have the ability to kill them and take the item back. But we're also 5 v ???. And they have the ship advantage.

Meta - we should probably just note we know they have it, and we'll probably run into them again.

Disintegrate seems useful enough. It would be lovely to have an invisible servant or Elemental drop the main ship's anchor while they aren't looking. That'd slow down the entire convoy.

They have parasol like ships above them. They most likely know we are here. Taller than a crowd nest.
If we/I have ways for dark vision, I would assume pirates who sail at night do as well.

Wait. The island STILL has its artifact? Since compass alternated between pointing at island and fleeing pirate ship? That means they grabbed the WRONG THING!! They are registering on the compass due to an artifact they already had....

Depends on your definition of 60ft or 120ft as soft or hard limits. Smoke blocking out stars is one thing, but a ship on the horizon is another. Thst said a dull red glow from a smoke is visible farther away then the nautical horizon irl.

Anyhow throw out options in game too :( interact instead of chess.

Or half a object since it's not point at tge closest.
This message was last edited by the player at 16:55, Mon 18 Feb 2019.

The island still has an artifact as long as Mabrook is still there. I'm pretty sure he has the item from the Siren encounter

Eh so 1 nearby is roughly equal to 2 in the area? Compass switching backnforth part seems like it's implying something more, but that is me.

In reply to Rind Wider (msg # 88):

So basically we are all none commital cowards, with relwyk voting fir death and destruction, scoria and rind voting for a stealth operation, and esfaran and darsan voting for letting them aquire artifacts for us.

*Mabrook looks up from petting his cat* Why not all 3?

In reply to Mabrook (msg # 90):

Rind can't hide long term or swim long term if the boat leaves, practically needs magical aide to reach the boat.

Relwyk could probably maim or sink all three boats in under 6 minutes from here, The druids could do that in 2 each.

Druids might even be able to suspend the descent of the large boat for over a hour while we srarch it's sucken hull.

We've lost some kind of advantage too it seems.

Current distance to nearest pirate? To farthest pirate (main vessel I assume)?

They are roughly 3500 feet away. It's still a distance but you are in tailing range. Maybe 100 feet separate the ships in their fleet

Not if the dragon also looks at me as ITS adorable pet and loves to indulge me because I am so charming and adorable!

These things are true about me.

Thats marriage, also lawful and evil.

In reply to Rind Wider (msg # 99):

As a married man I agree that marriage is lawful evil.

In other news... it wasn't me.

That is all.

Hmmm, you seemed to be taking credit for it.

In reply to Relwyk (msg # 102):

Nooooo.... Well... Sort of maybe. Probably.

There are a lot of variables to consider.

Thus my reaction.

In reply to Relwyk (msg # 104):

:P

Castle is a previous group reference. Right before this part of the campaign.

I defer to Relwyk, but that sounds like the closest city as suggested, and also sounds like the microcosms that we are describing as in the most danger, and the situation Mabrooks suggested would receive the greatest benefit from his side effects.

Oppressed people suddenly empowered people(noble pacifists they may have been) and symbolic of the counter proposal of Mabrook's empowering the pirate king's intimidated fleet-dom.

The way this plays out globally will probably vary from place to place, but it sounds like the worst fears and best hopes put forth by the party could all manifest there.

Fun fact, Tome dragons actually have family groups listed as a encounter option. Seems unusual but i haven't looked hard at core dragons let alone unusual ones.

In reply to Rind Wider (msg # 108):

Depending on the wish spell, they may have the air subtype, so if any spells actually use that as a call out. Good luck out flying them if they are, and count as adjusted to suddenly being able to fly already.

They may not be the best swimmers and most swimming magic beyond SNA nixie is in transmutation.

They are dragons for spell effects, their strength should also be pathetic for a dragon of their size. That helps with natural weapons.

Their main 3 forms of attacking would be natural weapons, conjurations/summons, and breath weapons, but don't rule out aerial bombardment and strafing they should all be nearly as clever as Mabrooks.

Someone gave them a bludgeoning-stone version of fireball as a breath weapon option in addition to elemental ones.

They don't have any inherient weaknesses to exploit beyond air breathing, flyer,  air subtype, dragon, low touch, high natural armor and spellcaster type for bane feats/gear.

We have considerably greater chances oftaking that destroyer boat then pacifing a unruly city in a fight.

I'm feeling very uncomfortable taking the lead on this. Morally, I feel compelled to deal with the symptoms of the Wish, rather than the Mission.

Rind believes it is his divine paladiny purpose to counteract the wish and sees Mabrooks as the best mortal being capable of resolving it with minimal side effects.

Flash point paradox if you will.

In multiple ways Mabrooks has spent consisderable time and effort side tracking the party.

He lit the world on fire with gasoline, and now he is sitting in his mansion saying this is fine.


If anyone else besides Scoria doesn't want to pursue Mabrooks questline say so here and I'll try to backburner it reluctantly in character.
This message was last edited by the player at 05:42, Fri 15 Mar 2019.

I would rather you discuss it in character, for RP purposes. Less inner dialogue and more actual dialogue

Rind had made a suggestion, somewhere, for a pair of spells cast that would provide a false reading from scrying, and protect us from detection. Remind me, so I can try to cast them daily?

Refreshed that Private thread.The Spells were Core spells.

https://i1375.photobucket.com/...fact_zpskvnmkoub.png
Presumption A, the artifact is not moving or moving at a pace slower then 2 miles a hour.
Presumption B, we know the relative size of the island but don't have a map
Presumption C, the compass works.

With the compass and boat we should be able to find the rough distance and direction the artifact is in, enough so that we can head towards it and not miss it without the compass unless it is well hidden.

It may be towards the presumed center of the island or far closer to one side, and it's unlikely sailing around the island will be faster then cutting across. -> Feel Free to join me in game.

;) I got items, technically I am probably still the smartest. :p

But no, Mabrook is not a happy camper at the moment.

In reply to Mabrook (msg # 116):

13 str x large x quadraped = 300 lbs light load.

that is roughly Relwyk and a light medium sized creature, maybe 2 very light medium sized creatures.

Your items make you think your smart, but they whisper evil thoughts and cloud your mental vision to be more like their creator.

:p Perhaps.

And by those numbers, maybe I can carry 3 then.

>True Dragons
Damage Reduction
Young adult and older dragons have damage reduction. Their natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.( 5dr/magic)

Immunities (Ex) All dragons have immunity to sleep and paralysis effects.Each variety of dragon has immunity to one or two additional forms of attack no matter what its age, as given in its description.(Presume this is where our undefined precognition abilities comes into play)

Blindsense (Ex) 60 ft

Keen Senses (Ex) A dragon sees four times as well as a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet

->Arcane Dragons
Alternate Form(SU) 3/day as a standard action assume the form of any animal or humanoid of medium size or smaller.
Graceful Flight(Ex) Arcane dragons have thin frail wings, but can fly with effortless grace, they are slower but fly with good maneuverability at any size
Physical Frailty(Ex) Arcane dragons have shorter limbs and weaker natural weapons. Treat their natural attacks as if they were one size smaller then they are (minimum tiny). If their Reach is 10 feet or Greater with a claw or wing attack reduce it by 5 ft.

--> Tome Dragon

issues at work.  going to have to pause or drop.  sorry.

In reply to Scoria Gritstone (msg # 120):

Ok, it's at a good pausing place we can either leave you at the boat or put you with Esfaarn depending on if he is breaking from the group or the game. Should be easy to bring you back from either location later.

In reply to Rind Wider (msg # 121):

So, for you none business jobby people. It is tax season and Mabrooks will probably be speaking in 2 sentences if at all for the rest of the month.


It seems to be going around so i will wait here, waiting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Find the path may be in the relic as a cleric or knowledge domain spell.

However without knowing where we want to go, it may be tricky to target at best. It's a powerful spell, but it's a lot simpler then mapquest.

We assume the relic is inside, but it could be under or even inside a portal or dimension or phased to the etheral plane.

We aren't even clear if it's in a room or encased in solid crystal.

"Please select a destination"
Lead us inside the crytal
"please select a destination"
Take us to the relic room
"please select a destination"
Take us to the tomb of the local legend Decard Cain.
"Calculating... Folow the dancing light pseudo dragons for 3 miles, then continue following them for 100 feet."

Again, work and life super busy. Still here.

Same, and mainly waiting on Relwyk to see if she can cast that spell.

My tablet is giving me problems. Miracle that I'm  able to get this iin.

In reply to Relwyk (msg # 125):

K Relwyk, rpol has been diwn a lot too.

Time for a party leader decision and any fimal preperations.

So far our information is limited, and therefore prep is limited.

So basically you need to pick a path. You can scout further, but it will take hours. As it is you have spent almost 2 hours at the area. Landing, backtracking, magic scouting. You have no other information on the area except the seems to be a massive tunnel system with various hub like areas.

Heading to hub b :)

By which route...

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 129):

coming out of my 90 day advisory period .. starting to read up again.

In reply to Scoria Gritstone (msg # 131):

Rough months, got hired, still hired, been given 10 hours over 5 weeks(days of 4 and 6) Tried to transition to work sleep schedule, tries, back slide, tried, back slide.

Consumed a unhealthy ammount of mhgu/mhxx and tower defense and generally have been needing to help nonwme dependants financial for over a year and feel shitty for being a none provider for my single mom of a girlfriend.

Ouch!  Big stony hug sent your way.  I'm hoping to have a positive interview on Tuesday next week.  I've got 30 min with the CEO and CIO of Special Olympics International ... if it goes well then I'll be traveling to DC quite a bit to run their PMO ... much to the chagrin of my two pre-teen daughters.  All while my nephew (32) battling a very rare affliction and my wife's grandma (93) fighting back from a minor stroke and no longer being able to care for herself.  So, more than willing to take virtual hugs back :)

Been swamped with life myself. Checking in everywhere today.

Friends?

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 135):

I'd say most of us are still here, but mabrooks is going to be missing for months atleast due to work load.  I can send him a text, and he might get something posted this weekend.

And I'm just out of surgery. Although I am recovering from the drugs I'm still a little disassociative.

In reply to Relwyk (msg # 137):

Other than Mabs missing in action. Who is still here? I want to try and get some more players to fill in and continue this adventure.

It's one I've pre-written so it should be a simple plug and go from where we left...minus the Wish of Tome Dragons which I think is an insanely interesting twist.

Still here, barely.

In reply to Relwyk (msg # 140):

Eh, i have trouble getting super attached to characters in your gane, and half the problem is mine. I can't work them into your settings with enough depth/integration, and wind up feel hollow and cliche.

That aside I think the meta part of the wish was far worse then the impact in game, and it was rude to the human players.

I think if we reach the natural conclusion of the wish it would involve a reversal of some kind to return to as before with Mabrooks a bit wiser and more aware, but otherwise largely as if it never happened.

So there is that.


I think I'd just like a setting where we grow up sheltered the world as a whole, then grow up fast to lv3, making friends and enemies that shape our adventure depending on the factions we support or denounce, a little bit of nobody is completly right but most groups aren't wrong.

Maybe a setting were the dnd churches as a whole overshadow kings and kingdoms. Constantly bickering, but are the only source of healing around. But if you pay Pelor for healing you piss off the Torm faction ect.

 I always felt the part of a order for paladins, church for clerics, and from q monastery part of monks where you belong to something is lacking in dnd games.  Sometimes the needs of the church outway your clerics obligations to the party, or dictate the cleric had to attent this event and therefore the party has to drop them or follow along. Back in ADnD everyone got a building and followers at a certain level.

I really wasn't having a good time watching the IC and OOC mess that was involved in the game.  I understand I came in the middle of other's fun and exploration so I tried to make due and enjoy.  That didn't happen.  So, if that's the gist of moving forward I'm good not moving on with the game and wish you all the best.  Thanks :)

In lieu of adding in new characters to this game, as i think its at a point there would be more new characters than returning, so the story would basically be anew,

the simplest solution to keep this game thread going, would be an Apocalypse Stone (see transition from 2nd AD&D to 3.5 era gaming) where the worlds, planes become un-tethered altering all of reality and molding it into a new universe, of which i always have thousands of campaign ideas. essentially moving onto Campaign 3? of this game thread.

I'm interested in a Campaign 3 .. how do you see the transition?  new characters?  retool the existing ones?  same as they were but new world/campaign?

Generally speaking, that campaign twist would be a bit of a overall reset, kind of like one big server reset. I'd imagine characters could be the same or different. A good chance to restructure the party or build around it, As we currently had 3 very different druids, it might be fun to explore a druidic problem instead, If your open to that.

Mabrooks is currently indisposed with work life for the known future if that matters to you, if he does eventually return, it will probably be on a spellmage type instead of a straight spellcaster.


I'm leaning towards a nimble brawler type gnome concept and borrowing a bit from pathfinder.
I play all gnomes as savants in whatever they choose to be, but always in something, E.G. a cooking gnome may know everything about cooking, and always try experiments with new things, and learning new recipes or cooking techniques as they travel (if they even leave home) like a duck to water.

Mechanically you could say all gnomes get skill focus (X), but realistically it's just roleplay, an unhealthy fixation/fascination, my gnomes basically imprint on something random at a young age and bull dog mastering it, dictating their abilities and life choices.

In this Case, I've used something like dancing, yoga, or maybe even some form of exercise/sports fixation. This Gnome love to bend/twist/contort/swing, Bodies in motion is his thing, and whats more choatic and energetic then a good fight, brawl, or trap baiting.

He's faster then most dwarfs, and far stouter then a halfing. A bit of a muscle head, but clever none the less.



I like to have a strong personal angle for why i'm in any group, besides a DnD party being the local fun zone. Circus is a bit cliche, but I can see my gnome imprinting on acrobatic techniques. You just down find many opportunities for acrobats in hidden underground gnome cities, so I would be a integrated/city gnome. Maybe a orphan origin, or just a journeyman.

A wild child Tarzan/Mowgali origin could work. Smaller monkeys would certainly have that energetic and flying potential, I wouldn't go for the full feral effect, but growing up near them, or among them till I realize I wasn't like them and integrating with things more like me.

Whatever the reason, be it respect for another character's prowess, A Burden of Honor or debt (freed or purchased slave?), guiding artifact/fortune teller, seeking my family, or just making a living wage as party member in a adventurer guild. I like there to be some tie in as to why the party is where I choose to be. Perhaps I'm just too much of a handful and you guys are the only ones that put up with me.


I would like to start at a lower level, closer to my grassroots, where character background plays a larger role in motivations and party direction.

The Apocalypse Stone was written as a way for DMs to mercifully kill their worlds/campaigns and easy/bridge the process from the old rule system to the 3.0 system.

Im using it as a "hard reset" on the game. you can keep your characters if you wish, but any magic items would lose their enchantments becoming mundane and powerless. The Wish spell would be undone as the world rewrote itself.


So new character if you wish. keep your characters if you wish. Retool/respec your characters if you wish.

My new concept for the campaign, is slightly based off the idea that the multi-verse is still reforming, so you may/will travel through a variation of 16ish realities to retrieve broken pieces of the Apocalypse Stone, because the worlds keep shifting and planes keep falling away. and the stone needs to be brought together again, in the place it was meant to reside, to make the planes stop from shifting and altering reality.

as a sample,
one world would be just plain faerun(D&D)
another would be a more technologically advanced ravnica (magic the gathering)
and another would be of a more gaelic fey world and such.

@Rind - thanks for those thoughts.
@DM - That helps, been a minute since I heard that reference so I was a bit confused about it being a module reference.

In general I like the idea and can think of a few things.  I'm not sure how a super low level character would be able to handle the world shattering event and traveling the multi-verse without going insane or dying to the first strange event that took place.  But that's not for me to decide ... just a comment ;)

3 concepts come immediately to mind for something like this ... open to your thoughts ... A) Someone released from a magical imprisonment when all enchantments are broken;  B) Someone who's enthralled in the events taking place and wants to make sure that the events are chronicled for those in the future;  C) Someone of great importance who's story is completely re-written by these cataclysmic events and must find their new path forward.

I might be able to wrap all three into one character...  I'm spitballing here...

Maybe something like: X 'thrice Cursed' is on the small side for an elf with pale lavender eyes that tell of a tale far longer than most have experienced.  At one time, he was the Lord Wizard (OD&D) with a giant treetop fortress in the heart of an old growth forest.  At another time, he was Champion Warlock (1e AD&D) of an Elfin clan, battling to retain their peaceful existence far away from the encroachment of other races, acting as it's protector and diplomat.  The last time, he was a Collector (2e AD&D) who sought out relics and artifacts stolen from the elves and sylvan races by greedy adventurers and hording creatures.

Why 'Thrice Cursed'?  His first curse was by a rival Lord who transformed him into an enchanted tree where he would only be able to perceive the passage of time without being able to interact with it.  It was only when a druid of some note happened to speak to him that he found a release from his woody prison to discover the world had moved on far more than he was aware.  His second curse was an accident which took place while he was studying the texts in an ancient library recently uncovered and he was imprisoned in a never ending maze on a dread pocket plane.  Freed again by accident when his place was replaced by a crafty rogue who thought he had discovered the score of his career only to be trapped instead.  His third curse was ultimately his own decision as he chose to give up his own life to save countless lives when his group uncovered an artifact that was going to fracture opening a direct portal to several malignant planes with hordes waiting to overtake the realms.  His unexpected freedom from this last curse happened only recently when all enchantments were broken as part of a cataclysmic event.

As a technically ancient elven fighter/mage/thief who has spent far more time spent suspended than active in his own life, he is always in awe with the world around him and the changes that have overtaken him.  This helps him keep a youthful wonder instead of a cynical view of his situation in each new age.  His internal drive is to seek, help, & understand over personal gain or power-hungry endeavors.

Conceptually interesting to see an elf cast a spell that has been lost to the ages or in a way that makes no sense to those of the current time or with results that are completely unanticipated.  Equally interesting is an elf confounded by something everyone knows as fact or simple truth provides an alien air to generally common encounters.

again just a spitball concept I've been kicking around for years...

The general premise is we the current campaign fails spectacularly, but theres the last minute divine nuke or something.  Reality warps and bam.

Mortals are left to put the world back in order, namely you strong spirits/souls in what reality you find yourselfs haunted by the past or by the future. Every plabe is falling apart, like the idea of Twilight Princess, or Link Between Worlds, where Hyrule and Lorule degrade without their (complete) triforces.

Personally this next bit is a crappy idea, but thaco enemies existing is solid reason for a low level to be mixed with high level.

The effects could level you all at reduced powr if you choose aswell. I just like watching a character evolve into a higger level with tradgedies, and hollow victories to haunt them.

Everyone could have easily be affected differently, and perhaps regaining your lost power could be a aspect. You might have to find your splintered self scattered across the realm like some reality anchor crystal formed by your class levels.

Perhaps some limit breaker was released on your reincarnated knowlwedge you, you are now assassin's creed, you know the world is broken abd everyone else is blind to the fact their town is a escher drawing.


It's a good time to release you inner Whovian, the real question is what limitations and guidelines we want to set forth.


I've got my character concept established, but not my origins. I'd love to be a 'woke' npc turned Pc. The internal struggle of potentialy destroying my doomed world in order to save it would be interesting to toy with.

Shaka when the walls came down.

Travelling a multiverse? Are we getting a Spelljamming ship to do it in?

Theres multiple ways i have it set up to bring you to a random universe. sometimes spelljamming, sometimes a portal, sometimes others

I typically don't rely heavily on the gods, but as it was the gods who created the Apocalypse Stone in the first place, they are the easiest method to allow a being of "10th level" be able to survive the crash of the mulitverses and traverse about. so I will be interested in the pantheons (any as again this is multiverses)

Mourning the loss of Mabrook, Karza and the others who went before. I was Talendil before.

Talendil the dino druid.

We could have a full druid restore nature game.

He wasn't a druid though, elven archer/fighter.

Taran i think it was, was the druid dino.
and then there was esfaran another druid
and faran the cleric

maybe steer away from -aran names

Scoria was a druid ... so I agree the issue was -aran names ... as I'm still around :D

I remember Taran, Faran, Karza and Mabrook. There was the the female that was super heroed, I don't even know what she was, part monk I think! :-) It was fun!

Maybe we don't make it in one piece. maybe we do. Wasn't Mabrooks himself trying to become one, which would probably backfired arrogantly?

SSBros' Congradulations, you just destroyed the divine treaties by forcing and ascension.

Move Karza to the top of wave 2?

it feels like it fails to convey the 3+Faran? we had and the noble attempts to take over someone elses character.

made a thread detailing what the Apocalypse Stone's story is. its a bit of a read for backstory information

The previous was shattering the stone, now putting it together?

yes, retrieving the pieces and putting it back in the castle will return realities back to normal.

If Relwyk is in Memorium, we are doing brand new characters?

Up to her, the campaign is shifting over.

I'm leaving Scoria behind and moving forward with a new concept.  I think the choice is up to you but I'll let the DM opine on that one :)

Level 10 characters?

No clue. Rules of engagement haven't been address yet.


I could definantly see Relwyk's book sheltering her as a 'true' artifact.

In memoriam was more a listing of just every character to have come through here. Not necessarily dead.

Level 10 characters.
You can keep your character as they are set up as far as abilities and the paths you took. But all magic items, all permanent spells. All granted bonuses and such have been wiped clean and removed from characters

So you can make a new character, keep an existing, or restat an existing.

Hey all!  I look forward to joining you.

Benok hails from the burnt-out world of Athas originally, where he studied the Way (psionics) and in secret did some side studies in the dark lore of the arcane.  In all these crazy lands where arcane magic doesn't scorch what little is left of the vegetation, he'll be a bit more public about being a cerebremancer.

Torquil of Deep Hollow hails from Ringlo Hall in the Redwood of Blackmoor where he was once Lord Wizard, which is a title bestowed upon elven warrior wizards of a certain renown.  However, more recently he was released from an artifact when the great disruption in the magical tapestry rippled through the multi-verse.  His current equivalence is a Duskblade / Abjurant Champion yet his knowledge of the weave combined with his unusual fighting techniques and archaic items and spells speak volumes before he ever tells a tale by fireside.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 171):

Restat? You mean switch the existing stats with one another to make a different form of the character?

yes Relwyk.
You can either keep her as she is.
You can rearrange where you put points and skills and class paths (though I would have you keep the ability scores for this option)
You can completely reroll everything keeping the same character backstory, but the multiversal-shift has altered her
You can make a whole new character.

I think at this point the RTJ phase is done and let me know when you all have sheets to look at and we can get moving on.

I'm in slow mode, haven't started yet. In the next day or two I'll get it done.

Level 10 and new equipment based on Wealth by level tables?

Hi all as well!

I will be a former Spellguard of Silverymoon joining you.

Feliston has taken the first courses in his training at the Fochlucan Lyrist path.

I'd had the Wealth by Level questions as well.

The creation thread shows one item at 4500 gp and one at 1500 gp.

no wealth other items. See notice

Equipment class provides only
No gold
1 item worth 1500gp or less
1 item worth 4500gp or less.

the only other items you have are based off the book your class(es) come from for starting equipment packages.
IE: Druid would have: Hide armor, heavy wooden shield, Scimitar, Club, Sling. For gear she would have A backpack with waterskin, one day's rations, bedroll, sack, flint and steel. A pouch with 10 sling bullets. Holly and Mistletoe. Threee torchs.

Just to be clear for people since I had to go look at the books.

DM is talking about the "Starting Package" weapons and gear from the PHB physical book section just before the next class. It's not in the SRD or any online version unless you have a PDF copy.

I can look at the different classes and post what the starting packages are for a class if someone needs it.

So Rogue is:

Armor: Leather
Weapons: Short Sword, Light Crossbow, Dagger
Gear: Backpack with a waterskin, one day's rations, bedroll, sack, flint & steel, Thieve's Tools, Hooded Lantern with three pints of oil, Case with 10 crossbow bolts.

I'm not decided on if I'm starting with Rogue or Bard, so that might be my starting gear, but it's an example :)
This message was last edited by the player at 01:40, Tue 05 Nov 2019.

^ yes, this.

One more question DM - if we have more than one class, is it the packages for each or only one of them?

I.e. I'm going to be starting as Rogue/Bard/Druid - do I need to choose which or can I get the equipment from each (not counting duplicates)?


So obviously where there is duplicate that is ignored, but could I start with: Dagger, Longsword, Shortsword, light crossbow?

Or do I need to basically choose between Spell component pouch and thieves' tools? :)

I'm in quite a bit of a personal muddle, I don't think I will move forward with the game.

I've been broke for 2 week now, and have no reliable plans for the future.

Take what you'll use, don't over-equip weapons, maybe take 2-3 daggers, but only 1 quarterstaff ect. Your not a new adventurer, and have been around the block, but your also keeping light and simple with your trade tools. If you lockpick in character your probbaly have lock picks. If your merely trained but don't make a habit of picking locks, maybe you don't.

The main purposed is at Highlight that your basically lugging your adventure gear and start fights over a bunch of alchemy items or situation items you probably would only use if you ran into say a swarm, or 3d6 one handed orc cleavers. Just apply the K.I.S.S principle to the gear list and everything will work out fine. Try not to duplicated(without reason), but do include your key items like lockpicks, spellbags, and instrument if they apply. Try only grabing 1 main weapon, 1 shield, 1 armor set, and some backup weapons if reasonable, having a short sword incase your longsword breaks is reasonable for example. A druid obviously wouldn't be using chainmail(depending on edition?) but they could be wearing leather or hide, A rogue usually wouldn't wear medium/heavy armor because of evasion, so a Rogue/Druid is probably wearing light armor made of animals or plants or possibly even stone.

When you take your new class. Yes you have those items too.

Last RTJ added. Please try and finish characters ASAP

HP figured out how?
Skills chosen, trying to figure out feats, familiar, etc.

Character Generator thread says max hp for first 2 levels, then rolled.

yes, please see notice.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 189):

Cory can you drop me from the game?

This message was deleted by the player at 02:37, Thu 07 Nov 2019.

I think I'm pretty close to done.

I just need to finalize my skills and my memorized spells.

How's everyone doing?

Assuming we aren't doing once a class skill, always a class skill, I'm all set.

In reply to Benok Cognar (msg # 193):

I took Able Learner as my Human feat just to avoid any and all worries about when I gained what skill as a class skill

I did the same. :)  Pay a feat to avoid accounting issues?  Yes, please.

last call for character sheets. please let me know if you have them ready. I would like to get at least a start on the game.

I think I'm good.

Drop me Cory, for now I'm too busy in other games

Mine is ready.

Hello everyone!
Almost ready! :)

Just confirming out here that I'm good to go.

I'm good.

Do we want to play the 'guess that class' game while we wait for start? (I'm ready too!)

So far, it looks like the majority of us want to hide behind Torquil.

Posted a notice and thread.

Notice, The Singularity, gives a state of the current events of the world(s). Describing how everything is bleeding together and tehre are portals leading to other universes popping up all over.

The thread Den of Delights, is where you can begin posting and making free actions as I set the outline of the campaign setting.

oof, DM please check my sheet and let me know where I made mistakes. I'm sure I did, I just can't see them with a critical eye anymore.

Anyone have a preference?  I'm good with most of them...  I'm leaning towards #1  Anyone up for stealing Excalibur from King Arthur?

So... we discussed this and then after a few days of waiting Benok stepped through a portal.  Please don't go to a different one.

Oh, we're going through the first one, no worries about that. This'd be a completely different adventure otherwise.

I apologize I got busy with work leading to the holiday. I'll try and have an update tomorrow morning. But no pressure with the holiday coming up.

Hi hi.... ummmm I am terrible at somethings on the sheet.  I don't know how to get the items that I want with the way that the items are done.... I think I have most of the rest right.  Also happy to be meeting you all.

If anyone can help or suggest that would be awesome... also if this is the wrong OOC I am sorry about this then.

Power was out a few days because the snowstorm in the NE US. I'll be posting tonight after work.

Just wanted to check in. I had made all my rolls and never had a chance to actually write the message :x

I could suggest some great things, but knowing more about your character would help.

as for my character, he is a realy good archer, and a realy good climber.

my "special" items are...
my bow (2900 gp of the 4500 gp allotment)
and a spool of endless rope (1400 gp of the 1500 gp allotment)

while not a cleric or paladin he has a self imposed code of conduct he lives by that is just as strict as if he were a member of a religious order

he is a devout follower of St Cuthbert.

he also talks to his bow like a crazy person.

I decided to just keep it simple since she has so many things as bonuses just as a character. Took me a bit lol. Rather than overthink I just jumped in. I am excited to get started with this and play my character.

Erazel, it looks like we will be traveling together.

Here are some suggestions for infinity usefully items.

Endless rations

Bag of endless caltrops

Bottomless feed bag (endless rations/water for mount, both carnivore and herbavore)

You can also go with armor or weapon.

Ring of sustinance is good for because you get "full" sleep faster,and you don't need food and water

If I had more info about the character I will be traveling with, I could recommend more specific items.

I got a mithral shirt to help with her getting hit, hopefully she won't get hit often... lol and also a handy haversack since she is small and likes to pocket things.  Plus every girl loves a good mary poppins bag lol.

I'm on holiday from 12/23 to 12/31...

I’ll be able to better post tomorrow after the holidays. Sorry

The bounty board is meant to be a means of extra coin and potential additional information about the item in this realm you seek.

It's still fine to pursue those things. But I dont want to have multiple threads with multiple people split up and going off in different ditection

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 218):

Noted... extra coin aside. Is there a critical plot point that dictates one "more" important then another. Because plot wise the 3 craftsman sounds like it has a greater amount of critical plot.

I think whatever we as a group pursue the collective choice should seem logical. So might I recommend that Torquil or someone call on Balli's competitive side if they want to get him to change his mind.

any more thoughts or discussion on where to go for your next course of actions in game?

and Alkiri  has the next pick in the holiday gifts when she can

Yep!

Apologies, bad weather meant I had to entertain grandparents longer than expected.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming~

Posted a Map of the Land of locations that have been mentioned

Waiting for your re-pick in the mistletoe thread, Alkiri.

I apologize, my lungs decided I needed to be in the hospital for a bit. (I'm much better now, promise!)
This message was last edited by the player at 14:07, Wed 08 Jan 2020.

anyone else get the item they offered for Malice & Mistletoe?  just curious :)

I could have, but I was expecting a few cursed items in the mix.

From the moment the first haversack was revealed, it was clear I took things a little to literal.

I took 'a gift' to mean singular, only one.

And I see only one other person embraced the malice in malice and mistletoe.

i think every game ive done this for, its ended up sooooo different

1 everyone picked their own items
1 everyone put in hayward haversacks
there was 1 that had wayyyyyy more malice items in it (though that was my RL game they are dicks to each other in game too)

Sorry - had an intensive course last week (40 hours of school in addition to the usual work, family, and church time).

That said, it's incredibly demotivating to post when time keeps getting advanced with no story need for it, warning, or actions that could use the time posted by players.

I had made a post Friday to try and urge you to move on from just posting morning rituals. not counting the weekend, a few more days passed without anyone responding. Time passing is a pssive way of trying to urge you on.

I got a weird 404 error the past couple days trying to actually open up a forum. Was I the only one getting that?

i've gotten it from here before. i was able to get around that by logging in from a previous link in my history folder.

I think it was a regional thing.

I did not have the problem, but a large number of players in other games report the same problems.

Is Balli expecting me to roll a d4?

balli is asking you to draw out 4 coins from his coin pouch, and you keep what you take out.

because all his coins are jumbled together, the increasing values of the coin (copper, silver, gold, platinum) line up with the 4 sides of a d4 and drawing 4 coins translates to 4d4

in a test of strength balli has a clear advantage

challenging you to try and hit him,... his single digit AC gives a clear advantage to an inanimate object.

so gambling is the competition he came up with, it is quick and the answer to his moral dilemma is given clearly and immediately.
This message was last edited by the player at 13:38, Wed 05 Feb 2020.

as like combat would, having everyone draw and waiting on everyone would take time.
DM rolled random and Benokdrew the most value

though Balli wouldn't have platinum coins, remeber that was part of the problem, no one had their full gear a level 10+ character would or gold.

the challenge is only to Relwyk as that is the only character he knows personally. any other creature that approaches will receive an intimidate check for their efforts and any that ignore that... i don't want to start something Balli is bound to lose

Though the sorceress trusted Benok, his recent statement in character have led Balli to not  trust Benok at all.

true Balli only has 6 coins in his pouch and all of them are gp that is true

but it is less about the contents of the pouch and more about moving forward without debates on morality.

btw.  OOC I love your quirk Balli.  I just hope you find a way to have it work for you and the group.  I'd hate to see you take yourself out of the game with your quirk.  I've seen that happen before in other games and it is sad when it happens.

Balli, which of your text is his spoken text. if you are using inner monologue text too, just keep it plain black or italics, but i am confusing which you are saying or what you are thinking outloud

Quotation marks also help mark what's being said aloud.  I really need to know what you're saying or not saying before I can make my next post.

Ok.
Time out




Currently only Relwyk, Benok and Alkiri with Sheen can see through the veil.

Balli and Torquil failed their checks


Balli, can you please describe what strict code you are trying to play by. If its anything like a paladin's oath or such where its strict black and white good and evil, this is going to happen at every encounter, every scene, every time someone speaks. Living by a strict code is one thing, but then playing a game of chance to determine who is right seems askew of this code, even if flavored with "the gods decide"

thanks Torquil


As the party should see it, as Relwyk, Benok and Alkiri made the Will saves, there shouldn't be reason to disbelieve them.

as much as he talks, at the end of the day his personal code only applies to himself only, there is nothing in his code preventing others from doing as they please.

1. quote:

   never attack first
   
   Balli can not attack any creature until it has attacked a member of the party that is not himself.
   
2. quote:

   consent is everything.
   
   without consent it is a crime. Using magic to affect someone's choices is worst crime of all.
   
3. quote:

   never take what is not yours
   
   he can not take a portion of party loot.
   He can not benefit from something that is not his.
   He can only accept a equal cut of the final bounty purse.
   he does not eat food he did not bring with him.
   
4. quote:

   no one is above the law.
   a crime is a crime, it does not mater why.
   theft of a loaf of bread to feed a starving family is still theft.
   assault is assault and does not matter if it was done to bring a criminal to justice.
   • quote:

     Hold your self to the highest standard
     
     others may, but he may not.
     in his personal ledger where he records all the crimes he has committed, not guilty does not mean innocent.

Fun.  Like I said, I just hope you can find ways to work it into the game so it doesn't exclude you from playing. :)

Benok is now a Bloomstrider?

Yep. <Dances>*






*No skill, 10 dex, 12 cha... it's probably not pretty.

Benok wants to learn things and I know Balli (and probably others) want to move on, so I posted a brief summary of things rather than starting full-blown conversations with each person at the party.

Thank you. Loved the synopsis

Hello. I will say hi now.

returning player here.

I used to play Tiiva back in "wave 2".

Welcome back!

I've been real busy with work lately.
thank you for being patient. will try and post and update when I can.

Are we all in agreement to go to the "small folk" and retrieve the "source of powerful magic" as our next part?

It's my only lead!
Also I'm just going to do what the party is doing, ya know, being new.
From what I've read though, DM seems to be subtly pushing for it.

Sorry gang, i was hit again with sickness, stomach bug this time just destroyed me. Reading and posting.

I'm still here. Work keeping me busy.

heads up, my work's VPN network considers this website as a "gaming" site so it blocks it. With everyone working from home they are blocking sites that may clog the network. So "after work hours" i can get back in here and do updates. otherwise Im stuck to my phone for updates and posts.

player check. who is still around?

Present.

I have the wrapping paper for the present...who has tape and ribbons?

You be around, and I'll be square.

I'm not entirely gone.

Talendil is back, not quite the same, but back.

Hey guys, new guy on the block!

I was just crafting my (duergar) character, and hoping for some hints as to what sort of classes we need in the party. I'm (by far) a very "team/friend oriented" guy, so it'd help if I had a bit of a direction!

Now when suggesting classes, keep in mind I rolled like a commoner for my ability scores. I've got my highest score at 13, an 8, a 9... etc. So (lol) I need a class that... doesn't need me to really be exceptional at anything ;)

Looking forward to playing!

10th level? Right?

10th level.
all other creation questions i believe are covered in the character generation notice.

magic items are minimal, and on purpose as all magic in the multi-verse stopped working, and is on the fritz so only a few magic items have since been created and obtained and so on.

I'll re-do the character sheet tomorrow Cory, be ready tomorrow afternoon sometime. I started on it, but need to finish the generation.

Get starting equipment, a few gold to start? No magic or are you picking magic?

Went back to the original Talendil portrait! ;-)

Hi Tiiva, Talendil back, kept the name, new character.

Relwyck is a sorcerer, Balli is an archer of the huge kind. what is everyone else? I'm debating what I want to roll. I rolled an 18 and a 17 as well as the 14, 13, 12, and 10. At 4th level I have two 18's My god is Chronepsis the Watcher, Lord of Time. Fate, Death, and Judgment his domains.

Hi Talendil!

I've rolled terribly (literally worse than the dmg example for a duergar "base" monster) for ability scores, but I'm trying to make a rogue work.

I'm unsure of the nature of this game. If we're a friendly 'work together' style game (I hope!) then I'll be:

Rogue focused on backstab + bluff + appraisal for handling the team's item debates and trades, etc

If we're all opposed, or more individualistic, then I'd have to play something a little bit different (add in spellcasting or something).

Now, that being said, does anybody's character have an issue with duergar? It'll massacre my ability to bluff anybody (for some reason... deep dwarves are good at bluffing lol!), but it'll make me protected from a few "hold" spells and dangers to myself. Are we going to be in the sun, because that'll cripple me haha.

Just here to banter and try and be what the party needs most!

Together, we're saving the world, Sunglasses.
This message was last edited by the player at 14:45, Wed 13 May 2020.

I appreciate that you still call me an archer. But yes that was (still is) the concept.

Balli is currently using thrown and improvised weapons.

My worst is cleric but it looks like we need one, do we?

Awesome! Ok, so I messed up rolling for stats, so I fixed it: not nearly as terrible (lol go figure).

So I'll be aiming for a rogue, who balances between backstabbing, bluffing, and getting us money for our trades and goods. Would that work? Or do we already have a "face" of the party in THAT way?

AKA: Somebody else would have to be nice (diplo), but I'd handle the bullshit (bluff).

Edit: And I think we have a cleric (Divine or favored soul or something) the gm mentioned.

So I have had an idea for a while. And maybe it might inspire you and your rogue build.

The idea is based on some out of the box ideas.

1) just because the name of the game mechanics don't change, does not mean that the character calls it the same thing IN CHARACTER.

2) if a rogue thought he was a cleric, what would he call his (rogue) class abilities. How would his personality evolve as he gained more and more "cleric"(rogue) levels.
Would he see his sneak attack as a version of smite?
Would he see his evasion and improved evasion as his god giving him tiny insights into future threats.

3) what if the orc "cleric" believes in and follows the god of elves.

...I am SO going to do this!

That's freaking hilarious, and I think that's exactly what I'm going to do. Anybody calls me a thief or a scoundrel, they're full of it, because I'm "liberating" things from people to bring the coming prophecies, or something similar.

That's awesome, hahaha! I love it!

Cleric 6/Dracolyte 4 of Chronepsis.

Ready for inspection Cory, done more or less.

Magic items? Starting gold?

In reply to Brik'gol Lardgart (msg # 274):

That's a beautiful concept.

1 item worth 1500gp or less
1 item worth 4500gp or less.

gold, only a reasonable amount a character would have had on them if they were out for a walk or something of that manner.
Your new characters, they didn't set out on a quest when they will be introduced. As the notices show, there are strange occurrences and potals/rifts that open up transporting creature to different realms. This will be how your new character arrive in the area of the current players from whatever realm you came from. So you wouldn't have been out walking around with your entire gold savings

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 278):

So two magic items our choice by those prices. Okay.

Hello all.  I will be making a healer type as well.   Still working on a concept.

Hi Talendil. Welcome back.

Good luck to the Duergar Rogue.

Quinton. If you want to go full healer, then I suggest something small or something tough or something human, but that's just me.

In reply to Ervia Teufel (msg # 281):

I might just go human, lol, I don't think I want to be the "bluffer" of the party, with a -4 racial penalty to charisma ;P

Ervia, are you a paladin?

Balli, your d20+7 should be 17, not 27.

Hey guys, as a rogue, I'm running out of skill points, and I wanted to know if anybody else has massive ways to deal with opening locks, disabling traps, or spotting traps?

I was thinking of going really high search, but ignoring disabling traps, and just send like some ally's summon monster 1 in to disable traps by eating them, and if our wizards have "knock" no point in me going full blown lockpicks either.

Just trying to figure out where I can save a few points, so any tips would help!

*Edit* Also, my "Follower of Hextor" is ready to rock, except for the 1500 gp item. Let's do this! (super excited to play this character!)

Re: locks and traps
You might find something interesting on page 120 of complete scoundrel

Short of that...an adamantine hammer and chisel can be used if stealth is not something you are concerned about.

I like it. its a different flavor cleric than the typical Pelor healer.

Thanks!

I think its really well made, and creative.

Good lord we have a good team here so far. I'm really excited about this!

Now, good sir, you may serve Chronepsis, and I Hextor, but together, we can bring glory to both of our Gods, through the powerful works of our own hands!

(:P)

Mwahahahahahaha!!!

Oh boy, three different divine personalities.  Sounds like a religious retreat!

Almost done with the character sheet.   Has been a bear.   Will finish it tomorrow.

You kiss your sister with that mouth?!

I am a Favored Soul/ Sacred Exorcist Talendil.

Confused on your comment Brick.

Which god?

Pelor

As long as it isn't Pholtus we can live with it! ;-)

Nah, don’t know much about him.  Pelor is a champion of the people,  god of sun, strength, and healing,  and a god that is against undead.   Seemed fitting for my build as a Favored Soul.  Could have metaed and picked a god with a better weapon, but liked the flavor of what the god stood for and his alignment which will mesh better with a party of mixed alignments.

Pelor is NG, Pholtus, The Blinding Light, The One True Way, is LN leaning toward evil. Convert or die! They're Catholics in the 15th Century ;-)

I saw Pholos was a cleric associate with the badlands.   Pelor as a NG god,  I can play him a step or two away as a Favored Soul.   Nice thing about the class.   When you see what Pelor is and does it is the most worshiped human deity and for the people yet not as judging.   Gives his Favored Souls a lot more leeway.

LOL Yea, he did sleep with his sister, but that's common medieval royalty. ;D

I have long held a similar belief, that Pelor is lawful neutral. His is not a faith of benevolence, but one of honest greed, offering healing proportional to financial donations made to his priests.
He hates undead so much that he will sooner kill or turn his back on one of his devout clerics, then remove the the undead state from that cleric.

Balli, that sounds like rambling.   Not from a book.

I tried to find where that was from and highlighted the first line.  Unwavering is misspelled in your first line and is not anywhere on the internet talking about Pelor.

Then I tried other parts of it and it was nowhere to be found.

Where are you quoting this from?  Ahh this is someones rambling on Giant in the playground forums.  " Originally Posted by zombiegleemax (real author unknown) "

EDIT: It's been debunked.  This guys rambling was based off of Jozan a cleric of Pelor casting symbol of pain in the 3.5 book.  In 3.5 Symbol of Pain is considered a Necromancy Evil spell.   The artwork was from 3.0 and transferred to 3.5   In 3.0, Symbol of Pain is not an Evil spell.

In reply to Quinton (msg # 301):

The thing I love the most (on pages 6+7 of Book of Exalted Deeds, a 3.5 up to date book) is the "healing" and "mercy" descriptions of Pelor.

He is the one whose followers consistently grant healing to those around them, and help with no question, and that kicks ass for anybody around a Divine Favored Soul/Cleric/Paladin of Pelor! (And especially for us with a Favored Soul of Pelor, who are "a living manifestation of their deities", we're going to be loving the healing focus!)

In addition, one of the biggest struggles I've always seen is the listing on Mercy for PCs. Most PCs tend to treat bad guys like crud, like if they surrender, they don't believe them, and treat them like prisoners, whereas page 7 (mercy heading) it says if they are divine and good aligned, they must "Good characters must offer mercy and accept surrender no matter how many times villains might betray that kindness or escape from captivity to continue their evil deeds". FAR too often, you see a "good aligned divine character" get tricked once, and then act super "street smart" about things, and refuse to show mercy and accept surrender. Its a sign of a REALLY good player when they manage to stick to that, and uphold the ideals of Good in a brutally (usually) evil world!




(Just changing the subject so the tension leaves!)

Yea.  It's a good thing I am not a Cleric of the Healing Domain.   That's what it's talking about there, even says specifically.  I will heal where I can, but can only do so much.

Favored Souls get to set their alignment, and it doesn't have to match their gods.   A nice thing about the class.

Its using that as an example of Pelor's beliefs: something that a favored soul, per RAW, is supposed to be the "embodiment" of.

Which means: they follow it MORE than clerics, they just avoid the "lawful" side of things, which is the "rules and regulations" (per the books). As it says in the books, they can be UP to one step away, and tend to on the law/chaos of things (because FS's don't care about religious "rules", but they are the best representation of their deity available). Ironically, that's the exact same distance from a Deity that a cleric can be (page 30 PHB). So they're the same distance from their god as a cleric, but according to complete divine pg 7: "Devout worshipers know that they are a powerful message from, and indeed a living manifestation of, their deities." or the afterwards statement: "UNLIKE clerics, favored souls are not able to devote themselves to a cause or a source of divine power instead of a deity" which shows that they are MORE forced into worshiping a deity directly than a cleric/paladin ;)

In other words, if you're a cleric of healing of Pelor: you'd better be healing your butt off.

If you're a paladin of Pelor, you'd best be healing to represent your God's wills.

And if you're a Favored Soul of Pelor, you had better be the MOST healing, MOST undead smashing badass around, because YOU are the example (per the books).

Again: thank goodness we've got a divine class of Pelor ;)


(Now that the subject's been changed, we can banter for fun: What nasty things are you and I going to get involved in when you realize I'm also a "devout worshiper" of somebody, especially if I tell you its Hextor and you HAPPEN to be chaotic?! We can get into some hilarious and nasty little situations where we're both shouting religious statements charging into battle side by side, mwahaha)

It is not by accident that you can't find my reference material, I have not struck a deal with a publisher yet.

Thank you for pointing out the spelling error, I will bring that up with my editor.

Like I opened with, these are my views, and thier use is confined to games I run within my own campaign settings, which is no longer backwards compatible with any edition of D&D.

In reply to Brik'gol Lardgart (msg # 313):

LOL.  Glad you have slightly changed your tune.  Your slowly getting back to what is going to happen.  With no Healing domain and no spontaneous casting, I will heal what I can.  Don't forget that even a cleric of healing of Pelor would not dump ever single spell he has to heal the party.  He would have nothing left to help an innocent who needed healing or to help someone near death if he did.   It's nice we have a cleric in the party, and you a holy man of Hextor.   You two can also help with the healing.




 In reply to Balli (msg # 314):

The Giant in the Playground post was a direct quote of it.  That's cool your working on getting something published.   Like I said before, in 3.0 Symbol of Pain is not an evil spell.  That is where the artwork is from and it carried over to 3.5.   They changed the spell in 3.5.
This message was last edited by the player at 17:05, Mon 18 May 2020.

I was just trying to reduce the tension in your post response to Balli is all. Mission accomplished ;)

And if a divine worshiper (manifestation of Pelor) has the ABILITY to heal, and they don't, then they are not fulfilling their alignment, and deity, obligations. For example, a cleric of healing of Pelor OR a favored soul of Pelor would 100% spend all of their healing resources to keep the party alive, and healthy. In fact: it's their calling, per their God selection.

After all, you said you selected Pelor because you loved what he stood for, right? Nonstop healing is what he stands for ;)

And yes, the red herring you introduced (my god) I will be bringing his portfolio into play: War, Discord, Massacres, Conflict, Fitness, Tyranny no problem! Healing would actually be OUT of character for me ;) And we have a cleric of "God, fate, death and judgement"... no, lol, it seems like you're the party's healer ;)

Definitely not the party heal bot.  We’ll see how that plays out.

Never said you need to be a heal bot, from what I understand you're gonna be some badass up front brawling for our lives, right (favored soul?)? To me, beating ass, and then healing the party up afterwards isn't a heal-bot. That's a badass favored soul.

But as a FS of Pelor, your character's entire goal should be healing the party up in between battles (that represents your God's powers) and absolutely stomp smashing the undead we face. If, in your mind, that makes you a "heal bot" then you might not want to worship Pelor, because that's the choice his divine people make (willingly). You are the EMBODIMENT of Pelor's ideals, per the books. You should 100% Represent Pelor's ideals, which are focused around healing and anti-undead, primarily. Its what Pelor divines are known for, so you should be the example of that, not the "opposite". In fact, don't forget this: you know of 3 gods worshiped (so far) in the party: Hextor, Pelor and Chronepsis. If you want to show your God's superiority (which you do as a favored soul), you do it with healing. Just like Talendil is going to be summoning some badass dragons, and I'm going to be introducing pure chaos into the enemy ranks, you bring the insane healing might of Pelor in between battles as a representation of your Deity. If you don't want to do this stuff, just don't play a divine class: its easy. If you just want a badass that can fight, and heal himself when he wants to, play a fighter class with a potion of healing or ten.

Now: if anybody's being an ass about it (Oh look, I'll poke my foot with a stick, heal me Quinton!) then we'll stomp em like a nerd ;P but I don't think anybody is going to be like that. We mostly seem like a good team so far oriented around teamwork, and I would guess that will translate to gameplay. But if somebody is injured, you have a heal spell available, and you don't use it: you're not representing Pelor like a Favored Soul would... that's just the way the class (and Pelor) is played, designed, and described in the books.



---> On a side note to Balli: if you don't mind, could I see something that you wrote? Is it a short story, or is it something you need to keep private? I just enjoy reading really cool material on DND style stuff, and if you're able to make it public, I'd love to experience it!


(Also, keep in mind with my discussion with Quinton: I'm not representing what the GM demands of players, I'm just discussing the way the rules are WRITTEN for divine classes, and discussing the way they were "designed" to be played. NONE of this represent's the GM's actual expectations, just the rules as written. For all I know, the GM couldn't give a crap, and could enjoy the idea of a rogue playing more holy than a favored soul, lol!)

I rally appreciate your insight.

Do you have an equal critique for every character?

Not a critique, but yes: if a player chooses an idea to roleplay, and then they avoid that because its "common sense", then they aren't really roleplaying that character correctly.

If the cleric of the Deity Chronepsis suddenly recommends that our party massacres a good aligned dragon because it won't give us its loot, I would bring the same thing up ;)

I'll just leave this here for you.  Many things to take from it.  There are DM's here that chime in and show that it is not something to push a character to play a certain way.  I love opinions on characters, but once again it what you say about how I should play my favored soul is not set in stone.

http://sundren.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17673

Naw, its just how the game says favored souls (and clerics) are supposed to be played. That's all. The rules as written are, generally, accepted as rules UNLESS the gm house-rules away from them.

Even the people in that thread say "Some players want to play paragons". That's, by definition, the Favored Soul. A paragon of their deity. The best representation of Pelor is a Favored Soul of Pelor.

Still: it was just to distract from the earlier posts that were a bit harsh towards Balli in my eyes, as I'd thought he was just playing around and bringing up a REALLY cool and interesting idea for Pelor.

TL/DR: Yes, per RAW I'm correct, but I'm not here to GM. I'm here to have fun kicking some serious bad guy ass with my teammates/friends!

Edit: After reading that thread more deeply, it proves my point, lol. They're saying a FS is basically a "tool" of their God, and free will could be an illusion. Lol, that's harsh.

To read, sorry no.

But if you would like to experience it as a player that could be arranged. I am about to open a playtest of the rules.

THAT would be amazing, please do! I'd be happy to see anything you've come up with, and I love supporting people in what they do!

sorry, work and life last few days what crazy busy.Checking the new characters now and seeing if were good for me to bring them into the game.

No problem, Talendil is here.

How many spellcasters do we have?
It might be easier to ask who doesn't cast spells.

I'm a cleric, I do cast divine spells, not arcane.

I don't not cast spells.  Partial arcane (transmuter), nearly full psionic (telepath).

Can't wait to actually start!

In reply to Talendil (msg # 330):

Agreed!

No spells from me.

I am a fighter type who used to have a bow. I am in transition, could replace my bow with a bow, or halfling warsling, or atlatl.

We just need an alchemist, and you can take improvised weapon specialization. Throw potions, bombs, and BIG ROCKS.

hi all can't wait to join you all in play.

:)

Same Balli and Relwyk? I played Talendil the Elvish fighter in the last incarnation of the game. I'm a cleric this time.

Same here.

I have come in with a fighter wizard just for the fun of it and a dwarf to boot.

This Balli has some of the same memories, but has bouts of amnisia thanks to a extend encounter with an intellect devourer.

Cool! I'm a fighter sorcerer!

I am most definitely the most unholiest of unholy Priests of Hextor! I shall be bringing the light (or rather dark) of Hextor to all corners of the land! Fear my... erm... words?

In reply to Brik'gol Lardgart (msg # 340):

Don't feel too bad. I'M a Fiend-blooded sorceress.

I tried to play a succubus monster progression class in one game, and someone flipped out and quit the game for it, after attacking me to near dead.

Careful with telling players your race or alignment or even sometimes your religion. They might be Christian.

In reply to Ervia Teufel (msg # 342):

Hey Ervia.  If you'd like to discuss whatever issue you have with Christian gamers or Christianity in general, I'd be very hear about it in a PM.  If, on the other hand, you were just trying to take a cheap shot at a group of people you don't like, could you please not?

In reply to Benok Cognar (msg # 343):

Agreed, and I think we've all shown that we're very relaxed, cool players, all here just to have a good time. Let's stay focused on that!

In reply to Brik'gol Lardgart (msg # 344):

Hmmmm, trouble in the OOC!

It was more a word of caution to people discussing their characters alignment, race, or religion OOC because in my experience, the ones who go crazy over such things are a very specific demographic.

In reply to Ervia Teufel (msg # 346):

My experience is the opposite. So it's a good thing we're not talking about it ;-)

Bring on the giants and Balli and Relwyk and the rest of us can fight them off!

I don't know man. Just keep your characters details as discreet as possible IMO. People always seem chill until they are suddenly not.

Heck at that point, I'd encourage people to wax poetic about religion, just so we can hurry up and get those people booted from the game haha.

Either way, we're all ezpz here. No worries friend.

I worship Chronepsis! The Watcher.
