He's... not as sneaky as he thinks he is.


20:04, Today: Stan Fetchin rolled 7 using 1d20+1. Sneaky sneaky.

Looks like the judges disliked both our items from RPG superstar. :)

You entered?  Which one did you submit?

Yellow Nettle Garland. Critique just got put up 10 minutes ago.

I understand that they are pressed for time, and obviously looking for a certain something, but I feel that they've wrote off some very good submissions--and for no other reason than the fact that they won't take the time to get behind a given item, or attempt to understand it.

Just my two cents.

So, I have a couple ideas for your game at the end of this arc.  Would you like to try gestalt, or do you want me to bring in a couple of other players?

And, what time of day are you most available to post, generally?

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg #930):

...and now, for my soapbox:

I'm not bitter about not having my item chosen for the RPG Superstar, or anything, but I do feel that their attitudes toward the competition is for the same mind set that brought about D&D 4e.  Stemming from what I've said earlier, they (and I do understand that the judges do not fully represent Paizo) seem unwilling to try to really see where we as players take our games and ideas.
Your item, for example, they were too blinded by your use of Calistria not to see the game potential.  ”Wonky mechanics?”  Please!  I've read several winners whose mechanics come under fire.  The Shadow Box???  It's broken.  Are the Ghostvision Gloves any better?  Hell no.  Channel energy affects undead hidden in walls, or otherwise unseen by the caster normally.  You don't need gloves for that... And seriously, gloves?!?
So I guess the DM will need to track and define the movement and whereabouts of undead on his campaign now too, huh?  I mean, since he can't be bothered to track and define his world map--you know, HIS JOB!!
No, instead we need a game without ”wonky mechanics,” a game where the DM isn't accountable--or even needed--to tell a good story, a game that plays itself.  Something like... World of Warcraft.  Yeah.

I'm not bitter or anything.  =P

I wouldn't mind bringing on some more players. As for when I'm available, I'd say mornings and evenings.

I thought it was weird that my item was "too Calistria" when one of the winning items was actually called the "Swiss army knife of Calistria" by Clark.

I see now that my post is a bit unclear. Stan is trying to figure out if the bound figure is his wife. The sense motive check is to see through a disguise or bluff if it is an imposter.

Edit: Nvm, you addressed it.

Duhn duhn DUHHHHHHHHNNNN.

You have no idea how long I've been waiting to drop that on you!  And I've got more...

Regarding the Action Point post in the house rules thread, you have 1 now, and may use it accordingly.  =)

Please forgive my erratic and probably non-existant posting in the next few weeks. I am busy finishing up law school applications.

Law school?!?  Stan, I think you just became my best friend.

Why? Are you planning a divorce in 3 years?

I wasn't, but is nice to know I got options.  ;)

Have you taken a look at the rules I posted for Action Points, and do you understand them or have any questions?

The rules seem pretty straightforward. :)

1) Does Stan still have his wand of detect magic?
2) Would he be able to use it to see if the collar has abjurative or protective magics
3) What kind of roll would that be? (I assume spellcraft. If so, can I use that even though I just used it two rolls ago?)

Thanks.

1) Yes
2) Yes; and it does
3) No roll required since you have an item you can use for the effect, just write it into your narrative.  And you may use any skill that has not been used this round or the skill you used in the previous round.

As I was reading through "Arcana" on the SRD I realized it was the spell to use last round instead of Alchemy, but the mistake only works against Stan so it's no big deal.

This is still part of the skill challenge.  =)

I feared as much. IC post forthcoming.

Though probably not till tomorrow morning.

I couldn't come up with anything besides casting resistance. There's just no way Stan can take on a Hezrou with a bunch of knowledge skills.
