Probably not going to post for today; Urrun has a new player

Finals are quickly approaching for college.  My posting rate might be a bit spotty.  I'm still following what is going on.

I figure we won't hear much over the next week or two then. Going to the opera tonight with the wife, discount tickets up in the nosebleeds, for the same cost as a movie plus popcorn these days.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 541):

Nice. I will be around. As always...:)

Don't forget, "opera glasses" were invented for just such seats.  I used to keep a couple pair in my glove box, cardboard frames that unfolded for use, cost me a couple bucks each.  Got 'em from American Science & Surplus, off their web site.

Mini-binoculars are probably more common now, and will do a better job, while taking up little more space.

Is it just me or has Airis taken her stealthing just a little bit too seriously?

i think her player is still around, but the character seems abandoned

I may be scarce this weekend.

That's it!  Jednesa has to buy a Fireproofing Salamander Amulet!

It's one thing that she's practically fire-immune*... but her stuff isn't as durable as she is.  Man... never saw** that drawback coming when I designed her broke the system.




* A quirk of how GURPS 'catching on fire' and damage works.  I expect at the end of this mission she'll be a mess of second-degree burns that don't in any way bother her.

** Lie.  I totally saw it.  Even designed a specific piece of her gear (the carrying harness) with a Fortify enchantment, specifically so it might be able to survive her casual usage... but now I'm actually wondering if she doesn't still have to be gentle with it.  DR 5 HP 14 is 'nothing' for her to rip through if it get's caught on something.  Which is both good... and a bit not good.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 547):

And this is Essential fire, too, they are burning with! Not something you want...

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 548):

Right now it is her maul that has caught fire with essential fire!

It's been a busy week, sorry Nodwin and Stringfellow haven't posted.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 549):

And the wight, of course!

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 551):

Going forward, I am contemplating a way to avoid the whole (unkillable/achilles heel silver and enchanted weapons) combo for
DR x + DR y vs non magical weapons. I think that method might restore the balance once found in 3e's Undead Invulnerability, which was basically unkillable 2 with achillies heel (special)+achillies heel(fire).

This puts "kill it! Kill it with fire!" Back on the table, instead of having to wory about the damn undead reconstituting themselves from their ashes in two months time. It makes for an easy auto restock, but it is bad enough these jokers drain FP and eventually HP bypassing DR. On the one hand, doing double damage with silver/magic can kill them very quickly, but so far, only three persons not an npc built their character with magic or silver, and one of those was after the introduction of wights of this type.
No one has tried using holy water against them, I am surprised!

Only three people brought magic/silver damage? Dang.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 552):
Out of 40 or so characters. Several NPC's started that way, but the first was Gorgath, followed by a player created hireling on the original Abbey expedition. Since then, the first was Hograth.


DR X + DR Y vs non-magical/non-weakness of 20 or so allows for destruction by  2000 lb block, and roughly equates in spillover damage from ogres vs having to reduce them to 5x-HT and then worry about post mortem regeneration.

This came about after thinking how to stat the very common "struck only by" rules for D&Dish games when I did a conversion here:

You're forgetting Jareth's shortstaff has Silver (and has been since chargen).  But then he has really only hit like three things so far and none of those were Silver-susceptible.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 554):

I am about the only one who considered Silver weapons, even after wights appeared, after Gorgath and a Hireling? Shame on the rest of you...!

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 555):

I stand corrected. The stench of that weapon is more potent, however.

Goran swings his silvered, flame-enchanted morningstar and grins.

Well, that's what holy warriors are for, i suppose :)
