no, i wouldn't make him for the wuxia threads. lol yeah, that'd be like putting soy sauce on pancakes. that idea is for a priest character in general. for a sahudese healing character, i would give him herbalist,ying-yang healing, esoteric medicine (sahudese),and surgeon, perhaps.

okay, but if we gift the box, it's from all of us. :D

Yeah, or maybe more like putting maple syrup on yakisoba.

I like the sound of that already -- like Miss Yodoku, without the "torturer" side.

maybe an old man, with longevity, and some martial arts skills, maybe even a mastery... an old master/healer...

Hey, does that sweet, pale, openwork jade dragon belt plaque give me added bonuses for appearences?

We have an additional jade piece, and the dragon artwork, which Chye took each worth $375, for a net of $750. that divided into six shares, is an additional $125 apiece. Chye is satisfied with his belt plaque, and will contribute the artwork to be divvied up.
upon good authority, i have heard it from the narrator that this new jade piece is a yellowish pale color dragon, that was forgotten to mention.

Very nice find, Chye.  Okay, we have the dragon wall art that needs to be sold (we'll lose some value due to the wealth-based pricing, so can't count on the $125 each).  Beyond that, I received potions worth $135 (paut) and unknown valuation (Minor Healing).  Once we have a value for the healing potion, I'll put cash into the group fund to be divided.

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 42):

Jewelry and cash are not affected by wealth, but articles of virtue such as the box and the wall hanging are.

how's that, cap'n?

Short version: the more Wealth you have, the more you get for fencing selling goods like the wall hanging or the lacquered box.  If you're Struggling or Flat Broke, you're prone to stay that way.

I remember getting money from Into the Wine cellars once more, but don't remember any points... were there any?

There's (a little) more money coming in from there, with Aoife selling off the trollish scrolls (the originals), but I was just thinking we should have some CP coming in soon...

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 47):

As I understand, there were 4 of us, so we got $200/4 = $50 in addition to the $240 each we received as wages. There is still the trollish statue to be sold and the cash divided...and CP.

Well, that sage who's a troll enthusiast would be the sensible person to offer the statue to.  Do you have magic that can repair it?

Oh, and I presume you returned the paut I passed to you in case of need in intimidating ogres?

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 49):

Naturally, though I did have some of my own :).

No helpful repair magic, sorry.

okay, so i increased my strength, and i put another point in merchant for the final record.

I'm hoarding my cps for the moment. increasing IQ ain't cheap!

I have increased my skill in aiming Lightning, the better to use it at a greater distance, and learned three new spells.

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 53):

Psychic Guidance perk is an awesome way to increase accuracy with one spell...it uses Spell skill instead of innate attack skill. Just sayin, in case it was overlooked...

Where do people keep coming up with useful perks and things that I've never seen?  Or, alternate form of the question, when did GURPS become a "pay to win" game like a so-called RPG on your phone?

Space (and to a lesser extent, money) restrictions mean I don't have any 4th Ed. books other than the Basic Set, Magic, Fantasy (which is nearly useless), and Low Tech.  I've got PDF of three or four of the old DF booklets (bought specifically for Northport play), but don't have (and likely won't have) the DFRPG.  There are whole parts of the game system I've never had a chance to learn (like Powers and the entire system and method of creating new, balanced abilities and items that led up to Sorcery and the other offshoots of Ritual Path Magic).

For my own needs, when I received these, Basic Set and Magic covered what I needed -- and when I got them, I had zero dollars to spend on expensive gaming books.  Now, I can spend money from time to time, but don't have a local group to play with (I'm currently playing Hero System with one group and Swords and Wizardry Lite -- like very low level OD&D, core rules in six pages -- with another), and have limited space to store new books -- and, generally, no idea what books would be useful additions.  I don't have a couple hundred back issues of Pyramid, either.

Thaumatology - Magical Styles p.29

No comments about the number of books GURPs have released for 4th ed...I only have the pdf for most except Basics, Magic, LT, and UT. Would love more, but don't even have a group at  the moment.

Psychic Guidance†
You’re capable of controlling a Missile spell with your mind
instead of hurling it like a bolt or a grenade. Use your effective
skill with the spell instead of the Innate Attack skill to attack as
well as to cast. Ranged combat modifiers apply as usual. You
must specialize by Missile spell.

I am looking forward to finding some useful ability with my CP.... when I get them.

Hmm.  Might have been a good thing if I'd known this at character creation -- before I put points into the Innate Attack skills.  However, I've now got three missile spells; I don't have the CP handy to put into this even though it would greatly improve my aim.

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 58):

To all the fine folks returning to the winecellars:

In addition to 3 days pay at 250cp, ($360 each)
You each get 4cp

In reply to Narrator (msg # 59):

And from the sale of the troll documents?

In reply to Oly (msg # 60):

I leave that to Aoife to distribute.,,
