It just helps me catch things when using my phone; i normally have to enlarge the screen until I can only read a handful of lines, and when the racial templates get broken down and alphabetized like the apps do, it gets confusing for me.  I appreciate it.

This is true....

Of course someone needs to keep the door open for the pixie....


Folks, my whole issue with the 75 point builds was that an MU had magery 1 and 20 points of other advantages, so I am having a hard time seeing how you can add a race for 20 and still have 3nough points to get a high level of magery. I apso need to expand other race as class templates for that point range...


Edit: I can see that if you relied on the racial stats and removed the "class" template attribute adjustments and used those points for advantages and spells, you could pull something. I am going to try my hand at some more race as class 75pointers, going for half elf, half orc, halfling and leprechaun. I tried a 75pt halfling who had great aim, yet could do zero damage (1d-4 or -5 with a bow).

Re: Out of Character 8

looks like rosewood will have to rely on the mob coming through the door, and follow the herd, whilst invisible. with them distracted, and invisibility, it should be possible enough.

There really is not a template for 75 point magic users, so I have kind of freestyled it, using the templates as guides. But as you see the numbers do add up, making them a playable character...sort of. I am not sure a mage would be playable with just one level of magery though.

Ouch.  Balir rolled max cutting on one of those thing's chests.  Assuming it has shock from his last attack and doesn't dodge it...  That is gonna hurt.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 751):

Ah, yes. I had not seen them. They also allow for magery up to level 3, and are otherwise not so different. I had 11 points in skills and 17 in spells (total 28), or 11 in skills and 20 in spells for the cleric (total 31). The Template had 26 in skills and 15 in spells (total 41). That paid for half the racial cost. Magery 0 as part of the racial package paid for 5 points.

Hence, the Leprechaun Mage I designed is only worth 2 more points than the template one, points taken from Attributes (lower FP mainly, from what I can tell).

Have been readingvDF Whiterock, and seeing the relative stinginess of my ways. Some point adjustments have been made for some of the longer running groups, I think I have been better with the Sahudese group.

Uhhh...Haveron, you kinda jumped the gun on posting. Adept and Shroud needed to post in response to what the narrator posted. Unless some PM's were passed around, if so carry on dood.

Re: Out of Character 8

I interpreted it as a fox getting a small animal as food, but you're right...  It could be much more.  I didn't think it worthy of pausing the action, but it might be.  I'll put that update below this in hidden text and then re-add it if nothing comes from the event.

[Private to Haveron Stormwal: Haveron will oversee and participate in breaking camp (which includes breakfast, etc).  As they work away he'll comment to the Adept "Good choice", and add in "Thanks for the fog" to Burke (when he finds the right moment).

After everyone is ready to go, Haveron will take the front of the group with Burke.  He'll want Gareth close, since he was the other person who penetrated whatever spell was set on the head of the path.  In his judgement a good read guard would be Shroud with the Adept.  Everyone else can string out in the middle, although he'll want Omar protecting Amelia should they encounter trouble.

OOC I don't really know where we are in relation to the head of the path, which is the only waypoint I recall from the last thread.  Beyond that, I don't have any mental picture of how this sits in relation to the other locations we have touched.  Is there a world map I could look at to get an idea of where everything is?

Might be a few days before I can respond; today I was swamped in the OR, tomorrow promises more of the same, and the weekend has me running around to a mandatory social event and a family trip to see a Star War.I will see what I can do. Monday I know I am in a slower spot, and should be able to catch up a little

Re: Out of Character 8

Hey Boss.  Glad you have some time away from the game with family.  Even a labor of love can be a chore from time to time.  It's good to have breaks.

All of the characters I play should be updated with your color codes.  One is on a google drive, and I'll probably need to write him up at some point.  But for now that's the only outstanding detail besides a few minor questions.

[Private to GM: The main question is Omar's sword.  We should get that documented because it's nice and magical.]

Please take a look at the chatacter sheet - made an effort to separate out all the Dwarven items so you could see them.

[Private to GM: Thanks for the Omar update.]

Re: Out of Character 8

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 763):

Looking at it now, the disadvantages that are part of the dwarven racial kit do not belong as part of your disadvantages,

Dwarf is a flat 20 points and includes HT+1, FP+3,basic Move-1, Alchohol tolerance, DR1, Lifting ST+2, night vision 5, pickaxe penchant 1, resist poison+3, dwarven gear, greed, and stubbornness.
Those items do not affect your poit totsls for attributes,  advantages,  or disadvantages,  it is a 20 pt advantage. Breaking it down muddies the waters- your disad limits do not include any of thr above; i think you built him with only 30 pts of disads.
This is why I can't deal with software generated character sheets.
