Sounds good. May be scarce until Tuesday night AEST.

Oly, I hope that will resolve your Ludlow issue, having two arcane casters to help look for the shop

In reply to Narrator (msg # 393):

Didn't see the two casters... but Oly ,IC  is a bit nervous about Ludlow's castings... the Player is much less concerned.

In reply to Oly (msg # 394):

Grimaldi and Sederic would be the additions to the group. Both are fighter mages

OK, we'll see how it goes.... do they have The Whimsey spell too?

Good thing you mentioned the fullish bazaar.  Was considering something stupid for Haveron...  :D

In reply to Oly (msg # 396):

a darkness clings to both of our auras, no doubt. we'd make good agents for that mission, methinks.

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 398):

Quite likely...anywhere I can learn the spell Whimsey?

In reply to Sederic (msg # 399):

You need magery 2 abd weirdness magnet. See Ludlow...


Also: once the Yurick family Tavern opens, we will be recruiting sub-junior characters to deal with the rat problem....

Uff Da!

Hold on to yer lutefisk!

"Sub-junior"?  Is anyone even going to want to play Characters that weak?

*Already making a sub mage for said sub adventure*

Edit:: Noticed the 75pt mage has an error:

ST: 9 [ -10]; DX: 10 [0]; IQ: 12 [40]; HT: 10 [0].
Thrust/Swing: 1d- 2/1d -1; Basic Lift 16 lbs.
HP 9 [0]; Will 12 [0]; Per 10 [ 10]; FP 13 [9]
Basic Speed 5.00 [ 5]; Basic Move 5 [0]

Total cost 54 instead of 49.

As long as the threats are equally weak, it could be fun. Taking on demons with 75 point characters is unlikely ... as someone said, anyone can play a 500 point character, but playing a 75 point character well is a fun challenge.

I prefer my Characters to be competent at more than one thing these days.  So... no I won't be joining that group.

They'll be competent at more than one thing ! They can walk, breathe and do something else too ;-)

Back in 3e, I experimented with zero-point character builds.  Far from being "pointless" (see what I did there?), it's not all that hard to make a reasonably functional character even with a net zero points.  Harder with a mage, but if you're in a high-mana region you can play a hedge wizard without Magery.  Still with zero point cost.

Anyway, I'm interested in the sub-juniors.  Looks like you've got a mage already; let me go dig around the Henchmen templates and see what I can do for a sneak-and-grab sort.  Still 50 points of disads?

Click the link is posted, its not using DF henchmen.



On a side note, the mage I made will be an assistant fire mage that wants to become a powerful spell caster but weird things are always happening to him, good at making maps, research, and even knows things about elementals and demons!

Well, then I guess gwythaint does know his audience.

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 411):

I find the 125 point  characters  fairly competant at some of what they do; it is a struggle to play 62-75

I will admit that my actual dislike of sub-250 characters comes more from 100(ish) point GMs not understanding that at that level you don't need to pile on -2 and -4 penalties on to every roll "to make the game challenging".  They seem to think that "the challenge* is what makes the play FUN!".

For me it doesn't.  Luckily gwythaint doesn't pile on the penalties, so the Juniors game has been as enjoyable for me as the 250 point play level.  Also I get as much enjoyment† out of non-combat scenes as I do combat, and he seems to enjoy just letting those roll out as necessary.



* By which they actually mean "constant never ending failure".
† Actually more.

No arguments there...

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 408):

There actually is a theif in the Juniours at the moment...

I have to agree, there are a lot of GMs who find it hard to run a low point game without a lot of casualties, because things like dodge and DR are generally not very good, and many GMs do not wind down the threat level. Perhaps it is past experience, but I have experienced  number of GMs who wound down the point level to make the game more lethal. For someone who likes character development more than just making up new ones, that can be frustrating...
