Likewise....i am very excited by sora and her progress. Unlike a wizard, her power is internal and treating her powers as wells of power within her being unlocked and she learns to manipulate these wells into spells.

But she starts now with a lack of control which she fears. As she leves she will grow to understand it and gain control (and thus have less fear of it)

Welp... That's a wasted round for me. Maybe next round I can do a thing.

I fired a firebolt and missed.

....but at least it wasn't a slotted spell that was wasted

We'll see if the swords change anything I guess but I was really relying on hitting something to figure out what they might do lol.

Oh great and mighty Honest thief you might of hit still with the BA. The DM never mentioned if the weapons were magicical in any way and if they are you will hit for sure and kill it good job. Next I kill the Human next round, these guys sure are easy.

Be careful, you or the creature may turn etheral if you hit something. Ha ha

That's something I'm looking forward too (:

And actually there was a hint that they may be magical when we first met the man. So here's to hoping!

Usually the good magical stuff requires you to be attuned ot it, and that requires at least a short rest I think.  Not sure you can just pick it up and go.

Plus it would likely be attuned to the Witcher, and I'm not sure how all that works with stealing attunment from a creature that's not dead.

Yes you are  right  Fen, but  in a post DM said he doesnt  like attunement he  is more into slots instead which work in our favor.

And most +1, +2, and +3 weapons and the like don't require attunement anyway. Although I doubt this guy is carting around minor magical equipment to fight the things he fights. Regardless, it's nice to at least have something. Even if it's only until the guy wakes up.

Oh, I missed that post.  Interesting.  I'll have to find it to see how that works.

So that works like slot hand is weapon neck for  necklace etc so we could have like 9 or ten items on  us  two weapons two rings earing and necklace boots you get the idea .

In reply to Gryphon (msg # 968):

Ah, that I understand.  I guess the point of attunemnt I thought was you could only have so many cool magic items so you weren't decked out in powerful items, I guess making you have to pick and choose what was really important?

The reason attainment was implemented was because 3.5 and 4e was getting out of hand.

As a DM you can control the item your players get. I also know as a player having lots of cool stuff is funer

But, that’s also not to say there isn’t restrictions example is the Witcher swords, you will get some of their poker but not all of it.

That's as expected. Any chance that but of power is a +1 to hit? So Alekos doesn't completely wiff? Lol it's fine if he does, failure builds character

In reply to Alekos Eclipse (msg # 972):

I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.  I think Anders is the only one left to post for this round.

The  witchers have a ceremony with thier blades.  So yes  they are magical but not all of the abilities would be usable by a non  witcher if you will. Like our signature weapons getting powers at key  levels this way DM's can make some powers be only usable after a bonding time without using pure attunement rules. Or a weapon has base powers but to unlock others certain creatures might need to be killed or other tasks performed lots of ways for DM's to have fun with his or her game mice  in his trap.

So I feel officially old today.  I turned 40 earlier this year, and now I have a kid in high school and a kid in middle school; their first day is today.

And my hair is getting more white every day I think.

Fen attacks like an old person too.

Yeah...come on warrior boy, protect us helpless casters!

Yah, sorry us feeble warriors don't get 6 attacks a round yet like some of us do.

And I can't help that we got attacked in an open forest instead of a enclosed location where I could keep people off you.

Felt it when I turned 50, so trust me, on your team with that.

But happy birthday, enjoy the start of a new decade!

Sorry guys, posting now

Alright everyone made a new General Discussion thread, move over there.
