Leaving for the weekend, I will be out of town and unable to post from Friday to Monday.

It will affect: Betsalesh, Earl, Scrap & Zachariel !

I will try to post the more I can before leaving, otherwise, I'll post when I'll come back.

Please, can you guys wait for me ? :)

HEY EVERYONE I'M SUPER DRUNK RIGHT NOW SO DONT EXPECT ANY POSTS FROM ME UNTILL LIKE MONDAY OR SOMETHING CAUSE IM GONNA FEEL LIKE SHIT TOMORROW OK BYE

Haha, that's funny, good luck man ! ;)

How's everyone doing? Any comments/questions about the Colosseum?

Hi all!

Still loving the Collesseum but RL is killing me right now (job search while working). As such I'm going to be stepping down from GMing at least for the time being. I've been in this game since September 2011 and a GM since about Febraury 2013. Not turning away from it completely. It has been one of my favorite spots on RPOL and I'll continue to enjoy it when I can with Darrow, Bogan, Ilithyia and Tel'adrel!

Hey uh, my laptop charger is broken and it appears that I might not be able to get a new one for a little bit. As it's my only source of internet, if I end up taking an... unexpected break you'll know why. I'm struggling to type this before my battery runs out, so hopefully you can understand. I'm currently physically holding the charger in place so it doesn't shut down, and I'll try to borrow my mother's charger for a bit to get another couple of solid blocks of charge. Really sorry about this, it's not really something I have control over. This affects both Johnny and Riven, very sorry about this.

As always send a PM to your PM fight thread if it's been more than 48 hours since your opponent has posted.  If nothing, send the GMs a private PM.

Public Service Announcement:
Upon reviewing the banned material 'Domain Wizard', no one was sure why it was banned in the first place, so henceforth it's not banned anymore.

It was disallowed by the GM when I requested it a long time ago. I requested for the ban list thread to be updated because I was getting muddled about what I could and could not use. =P

Man, Thorn Fury is racking up wins at a rapid pace. Gonna have to start looking over my shoulder, I guess.

Dont worry. I'll kick his ass too. ;)

Tim and Jin are ready for you guys to finally level up!

I'll be out of town with family until Sunday. I'll try to squeeze in some posts, but I have no laptop to bring along. Bear with me, folks.......

Happy Turkey Day!

Hey, this is a day of great mourning for turkeys.

Sorry for my long absence.  I've been working a ton for the holidays and have a few more weeks of long hours ahead of me.

Until after Christmas, I likely won't be able to participate in any duels, unless someone was cool with seeing maybe a post a week from me.

In reply to Nivian Solaris (msg # 323):

Also, Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!

Putting this out there for all to answer. If you take a level of a TOB class, is your initiator level the higher of your TOB class/(Other Martial class/2), or figured by stacking the numbers?
If you have 7 levels of Duskblade, does it round down from 3.5, or up from 3.5 when figuring Initiator level?

If you have 7 levels of a non initiator class and then add an initiator class, then your effective initiator level is 4 for the purpose of determining what level maneuvers you have access to (though you still have to meet other prerequisites such as maneuvers already known).

It's 1/2 non-initiator levels (rounded down minimum 1) + actual initiator level.

This also applies to separate initiator classes. If you had 4 levels of Warblade and then added a level of Crusader, your effective Crusader level would be 3 (1/2 Warblade + full Crusader).

I hope this answers your question.

Gideon is correct.

Also, you round down (just like everything else in DnD)

Cool. Thanks.

I am sick. I will get back to RPOL tomorrow.

Good luck in your fights everyone.

Away unexpectedly until Friday Eve. Play around me, thank you.

I'm out of town until Thursday....will try to post in my fights before then but I can't guarantee it.

This affects Tim, Jin and Hans.

Okay. This is lovely. Getting called out of town from Monday afternoon to Thursday evening for work. No laptop, either. Will probably happen next week as well. Work around me if you have to.
