Re: Show Some Grit, Perhaps?

GM StarMaster:
The gestalt for your 1st three levels was just to create a stronger base character without piling on levels. It doesn't apply to any levels over 3rd.

Originally, I had expected to track XPs for level advancement, but, as I've learned in my other games, it's just too much bookkeeping. What I've decided to do is use encounters to mark level advancement. Two major encounters = level progression; 2 minor encounters = one major encounter.

This is because the encounters are already designed around sufficient XPs to be a challenge.



Wait... We were supposed to gestalt all 3 of our starting levels?  I was under the impression that it was just 1st level.

Re: Show Some Grit, Perhaps?

No, not all three levels. It was just bad wording on my part.

At least, I think that's what I did with the others. I'll have to check.

I believe that Danyka had the first three levels gestalted.  Otherwise, she would be unable to cast 1st level divine spells.  Adepts don't get 1st level spells at level 1.

Been a bit sick for the past two days, and still recovering some. Hopefully, I'll be back to normal by tomorrow.

Yep, better now.

Have a new laptop that I want to shoot, though.

Re: Show Some Grit, Perhaps?

A steam gun was what the 'constables' on the island of Rish were using, though no one actually saw one in action.

It's a standard looking gun, slightly larger than a pistol, with a second hand grip to the front. It's powered by steam rather than explosive powder. The gun is connected via hose to a canister worn on the back.

That was all anyone could determine visually.

In reply to GM StarMaster (msg # 224):

When Tealon sees the steam gun, he's going to want to investigate when anyone else does as I'm sure he won't be the first. He's below deck.

Yeah, everything's fine. Minor family crisis, and this one just slipped away from me.

Re: Show Some Grit, Perhaps?

Not really. Mom's been sick for several years now, and goes through periodic bouts of it being worse. She just had a couple of good days, so naturally she's got to have some bad days to make up for it.

Re: Show Some Grit, Perhaps?

Yeah, it was a bit of that. She's home now from rehab, so schedules and stuff are all screwed up. Just been too tired to focus enough to get caught up on my posts. Dabble here and there, but way behind on my games.

I second Jheridan's sentiment.  Please take of yourself and your mum first.  Then come back to us, if and when you can!

I'm in the middle of a post now! I should have been able to get to it Friday... or Saturday... or Sunday... the whole friggin' weekend just went down the tubes somehow.
