Re: Out of Character 7

Can characters in GDF use more than one power item at the same time, provided that they are a different type?

Only one power item may be attuned to a character.

Soooo.... we're not using the rules in DF 18: Power Items pg 8-9?


Bullet Pointed for convenience from DF 8:

 - Yes, a PC may have more than one Power Item.  Specifically one of each Power type (including Endurance)
 - One Object, One Reserve.  This means each reserve has to have it's own object, your $70K Holy Crozier may not also be a hooked Druidic staff or a Wizard Staff with a knob on the end...
 - No Substitutions.  You may not power Wizard spells with a Holy Reserve (or any other combos).
 - One Feat, One Source.  If you somehow* manage to have a single ability that can be powered by multiple means:  Magic, Holiness, Druidism, Psionics, Sage's Book Wisdom, Heroics, Endurance, etc, you may only use one reserve to fuel it each time you use it (though you can use any applicable reserve).



* The example is a Sage with Magery, Book Learned Wisdom, and Wild Talent (No Advantage Requirements), could pick up a spell via BLW and then be able to cast using either their Sage's Power Item or Wizardly Power Item, but not use both at once.

However, easily applicable to any warrior type would be having both a Heroic Power Item and an Endurance Item.  Both may be used to fuel Extra Effort in Combat, but the user could use only one each time, not both.

That is correct. The player asking had only one power
so I meant for that power.

I may be scarce for a few days.

Re: Out of Character 7

In reply to Fisbie (msg # 835):

Two things going forward: splitting the party generates s secondary thread so that the main group gets some action. I made a bad call in letting the impulsive members of the Caravan drive the thread.
Face to face, the exchange would have taken twenty minutes, for us it was over two months, and that isn't fair.

Secondly, I can see actions by one player leaving a sour taste in the mouths of other players, and I need to know if (1) everyoe wants to continue, and (2) if corrective measures would like to be taken
By the rest of the party.
I am not big on pvp, but there are times when consequences may need to be applied, and not everyone is ok with an evil party member.

Re: Out of Character 7

I say let the players make their own justice! It makes things interesting, and can quickly settle beefs. gravely injured characters retired, and new ones made. the deeds can go down as recorded as part of the story, to provide seeds for new ones.

I had pointedly not read the other threads because Balir wouldn't know about the other happenings in and around town.  However, I may make an exception for this one.

Anyone got popcorn...?

In the beginning (my beginning here anyway) I read up on all the old threads just to get a better idea of lore and history of the town (and to see how gwythaint runs games).  Over time I dropped that and now remain blissfully ignorant of what all the other parties are up to.

I follow everything, because everything ties together, and the actions of one group, cause ripple effects in the game.

You may have noted the pligrims from  Veroigne ending up moving to Junior house, in this way, or the spillage from the wuxia group leaving undead all over the docks during the wedding. Periodically reports are made by gate guards, or gossip spread by hirelings, to say nothing pf the fallout from the troll slaughter in the winecellars.
The city is a living thing, and your actions affect other threads.

And that is why this isn't just another game.

Of course, if you play in more than one group (as several of us do) there's always that possibility that one of your characters will wind up looking at another (or if you're Jareth's player, it might be more than one on one side or the other).

I avoid reading other threads, however, beinmg the unstable member in question I do know what is going on well. I actually created the character to be a troublemaker, with disadvantages to match, and have then played out those disadvantages. So either way, I am fine as a player!

Ardenas Barehand:
(or if you're Jareth's player, it might be more than one on one side or the other).

I can't wait until the Abbey crew gets home and I can split Stenet off from them into a different group...

And yeah, I had to retire* Ulo as I realized that she'd be a problem if she ever ran into Christine... or Haskell... or anyone else she might recognize from the Troll Warren Slaughter.


* She's still playable if the GM needs me to use her somewhere... she's just not very "Adventurer's Guild" friendly.  Neutral at best... and really that's under duress.

Re: Out of Character 7

Yes, I hope to get rid of Azrael as well... he is as close to a tent peg as any character I have seen. The creating player "Knew Better" and he is flat useless in almost every situation.

I too have characters in many, but not all threads, many rescued when the player dropped out. I have two in Juniors and may have to take Mellarill and crotch sniffer back, as that player has been very quiet.  I do have three that I built.

I read all except Brodericks expedition and the Search for Balar, both have characters that disinterest me.

I could probably pick up a character or two if needed.  Didn't realize that happened here.  Balir is my first character in the game and my only one.

In reply to Azrael (msg # 845):

Ironically Balar is the only thread I have 2 characters in, neither my creation. Stenet is a bit overshadowed by Jednessa, it is true, though I have tried to include him more, but he really wants to be with a crew like Hograth. He would probably kill Gareth, though...as would most paladin types.

Re: Out of Character 7

Christine Bjorn:
Stenet is a bit overshadowed by Jednessa, it is true...

It's less 'overshadowed' and more, Christine and Jednesa are inherently destructive in the "collateral damage" department and Stenet is Greedy... so destroying the collateral makes him upset.

So far he's really only been worried about the destruction possibly upsetting the Bishop and thus chilling future jobs for the Church.  So it's not like he doesn't like Christine or Jednesa, inversely if he ever had a job which was "Go in there and kill and break everything" they'd be at the top of his list to go in with, it's just that he'd rather have more focused damage dealers in situations where fragile and burnable loot is involved.

Sounds like he would get on well with Horgath, but given how many similarities they have to each other, that is hardly surprising.

Re: Out of Character 7

I would like to bring Iskander out of the wuxia thread at the end of this, and back into the guild. I wanted him to build ties with Sakemoko though, as a Sahudese patron, given his cultural connections due to his past. I want him to do independant, and guild missions too, because he has a wide assortment of skills.
