Hey Creswick! I had a hard time with stats too. Finally decide against the 20 strength for direct damage to take a lower strength and some charisma for 'jack handling. Although we seem to be heavy on techs and range weapons so maybe I should've made a tank character after all.
Anyway, welcome! Glad to have a training partner.

All good, I finally built everything up and it is sorted out.
All except combat roles and gear. meh, screw it. What happens happens. :)

Although i am only a lvl 1 Gestalt char so only have 2 classes. Why the talk of three levels / classes?

I was under the impressions we were 3rd level characters.

I may need to do a quick double level then :(

What is our opinion on using HeroForge for character gen & stats?

Sorry, Creswick.  I'm afraid that I have never used HeroForge - so, I don't really have an opinion one way or the other.  You'd obviously need to modify it for the modified way that skills are being bought and calculated in this game...

Also, I have tried to link the output format to online character sheet here.

Can I know anything about Zu with Knowledge Local?

Alas, no. Zu is about as far from local as you can get.

As tempted as I am in taking linguistic knack to be able to manage with people in Zu, I was wondering if the GM could just give us proficiency with the lenguage. Those who don't speak Zu would hardly interact there, and that would limit our roleplay as a group there.

The problem is that no one knows what happened to the ship. It may not have even made it to Zu on its last trip. And just like there are more languages in Immoren, there could be languages beyond the known area of Zu. What little information has made it into 'rumor' is that Zu is the name that the people call their 'land', but it isn't know if that means country, continent, inhabited area, the people, or just the ground itself. There is only one known city, and one known village.

In reply to GM StarMaster (msg # 25):

Hey, I know it is a bit of an ask, but can Creswick have an incomplete tome of the works of Professor Pendrakes Monstornomicon? Maybe an early release or something, with bits and pieces of information in it?

Might make for a lot of fun, as it is I am gonna have Creswick almost idolize the old chap cause of the wealth of experiences he has, so it will be in character.

Should we wait for Katrin? She is showing up, yet not posting. Perhaps if we give her time, she can catch up.

Folks, don't wait on me. I'm poking in from time to time, but I'm having a hard time sitting down and really putting genuine effort into this right now. Apologies. Just assume she is assisting as she can considering her background as a rogue and fighter (mostly rogue).

That would be myself making traps out of pitchforks.

Sorry Gorren, I didn't read back through the posts well enough and got confused. Makes sense that you and I would be making something though. If you need help say something, Burke (the mite) can probably give you a +1 (or maybe that's just for working with mechanika, I'm not sure).

Mites are only +1 per mite to Mechanika checks. Granted, I doubt the DC for welding some pitchforks together is that high ;) If a Bodger can't stick some pitchforks together and turn them into something, then it means to give up and pick a new class!!

Welded?? I thought you were just going to cuss at them until they did what you wanted.

That's plan B, for when I run out of juice ;)

You, your horse, and me singlehand against a creature that terrorizes a whole town, Nicollo! What do you say?

That's an image with a lot of potential. I can almost imagine the catchphrase:


It could work. But years of Shadowrun had taught me not to run to action when you got a little preparation time before knowing the whole plan.

I think your horse wants to tell you something, Nicollo.



"Does he look like the kind of guy who has a plan?
The military has plans, Sgt Thrasher has plans, Captain Flagg has plans. They are schemers. Schemers try to control their little worlds. He is not a schemer. He tries to use Ego Whip."

So be it. Next scene: Battle in the center of the mind.

I hope that everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.  And I hope that the items left under your non-denominational holiday shrub are to your liking!  Best wishes from my family to yours.

Oh, yeah.  I look forward to RPing with all of you into the New Year and beyond!

Thank you Danika, Merry Christmas to you too!

I can only repeat the chorus: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you all. Hope everyone is having a great year-transition time.

And that in the next year we can all keep playing with great players as you are!
