Do you think this would be better as a sandbox or do you want an overarching narrative? Sandbox doesn't remove the possibility of narrative, but it does limit broad stories.

I usually prefer narratives over sandbox to be honest but can understand why you may want a sandbox.

What I usually do is invite players not mentioning if narrative or sandbox, see what I got and then ask them.

Just let me know when y'all are ready for your characters to be looked over and we'll at least get this started.

Second question: Do y'all want to start off in/near a large city or a small village? We don't have to be in either if y'all want to start somewhere else.

I personally like the idea of us having a smaller community as our starting point.

Also, I'd like for us to start at 3rd level (per Gamma World 6th Edition), if that's okay with everyone.

On a note I see traits listed on character sheet but are we allowed to take traits.  (I am assuming 2 based off of the sheet and not sure on drawbacks.  I am good either way.)

Hm. It's going to be tricky because the concept was based around a 6-point mutation, but I can make that work with a drawback and buy that off at 3rd. Other than that, the main reason I don't like low-level 3.x is because of a lack of interesting options, and I think my build has enough toys to be more than "hit, hit, hit" at 2nd level.

2nd it is.

EDIT: Revised sheet posted.

Greetings and salutations!

I was invited to throw my pennies into the pot, so...

1. Sandbox or Narrative: I would also prefer narrative over sandbox, but perhaps we could revisit this as things go?

2. Smaller community is fine with me as well. 2nd is already decided, so... great!

3. Dungeon crawl sounds good to me as well.

I will also try to have my character done tonight; the basic idea is already done, so I just need to do the mechanics and such.

Good to meet y'all, too!

It has been brought to my attention that the mutation system I have set up had some issues, namely with gaining MPs through drawbacks. My initial thought process was to try to limit the most powerful of mutations from being reachable at 1st level. Since we are no longer starting at 1st, this makes my initial thoughts moot.

I got called in early to work, so I'll think on what to change and make an announcement tonight.

May I suggest that like siderman the mutation may not be stable.

That at set levels you may gain another draw back / add or change it.

So I suggestion maybe.
1st - Max 3 MP drawbacks.
2nd - Max 6 MP drawbacks.

After that you may gain anther mp drawback per level.  This can be saved.
So drawback MP would be Your level + 4 MP.
You may never gain or change more than one disadvantage per even level.

This would allow 1 major drawback at 2nd (or 2 at 3 MP).  It would also mean that you could not get a second major drawback until 6th.

I have a suggestion.  Both Katrina and myself could come from the surrounding area.
We know each other by sight and crossed paths but not really spoken to each other.

Along the idea that once or twice the other has appear just at the right time to stop a non mutant making trouble as both of us are very clearly mutants.

Your call Katrina.  I would never force another player to decide something they did not wish for their character.

Well if you passed by the area you may have seen Moonlight.  An elven like creature with big brown wings is hard to miss.  He may have even landed close by you, bow in hand at just the right moment to put any human that wanted to make trouble for you because your mutant.  However he would not have spoken and would have just walk off once thing where calm.

That your call if that works for you.

Re: OCC #1

Just a heads up.  Moonlight is going to be quite cynical about most things.  Please don't take it personally.



[Private to Katrina: Not a problem.
So background.  A group of winged elves live in a large forest near the village.  The number is unknown but enough for them to survive and keep a stable population.  The group and village have  mutual distrust of each other and a few times a mob had been put together to deal with the elves.  Trying to hunt down winged elves in their own forest is however pointless and usually ends with a few injured villagers.  The mobs have included mutants.

Moonlight has been visiting the village once a month.  His reasons are unclear but he provide (sells) good arrows and fixes problems which only he can get to with his wings.  By doing this the elves and villages seem to get along a little better.

There are still some groups that dislike the elves.  You herd some call him Moonsong as an insult.  Usually said under their breath.  "Moonsong go sing somewhere else you lycanthropy freak."  Although your sure the elves are not lycanthropy.  Also your sure the elf does not sing or you want him to.

Well Fantasy Grounds is a bust as you do have to pay for it and Chromebooks are not supported it seems. . .

I've put in a ticket, but been thinking that maybe being a part of the roll20 isn't necessary. I could do screenshots, put them on Tumblr, and then just post them as an image here. Would put more work on me and possible delays, but it might work better.

May I suggest that Moonlight goes last.  He not a true tank but he can look after himself and if we are hit from behind he should be able to hold his own until the tanks arrive.  As bow is his main weapon he can help fight where he is anyway.

Also items list.
Back Pack , Long Bow, Arrows (40), Dagger, Long Sword, Water skin, Rations Food.
Pouch, Oatmeal cookies, Tools, Artisan’s, Tools, Artisan’s, Rope, silk (50 ft.), Everburning Torch.

Just don't tell Sylvia - being British I know how Archaeologist like to walk of with things they just "found lying" around and nobody seemed to own it.

Re: OCC #1

I would like to get started on the mission tomorrow, so if watches aren't set and marching orders aren't declared, I will have to roll randomly.

Also, let's have an encounter roll by two of the PCs again, but this time will be slightly different as there are more dangers in this area than in the previous one. If the numbers are within one of each other, there will be an encounter sometime in the night. So if one PC rolls a 4, the other would have to roll a 3,4,or 5 to trigger an encounter. 10 is considered adjacent to 9 and 1.

That would be common knowledge and it was too the right if the one that's still on the northern side of the helps.

Make sure y'all are putting your moves in the past on the main thread so we don't have to bounce back and forth.

Um.  Moonlight movement in flight is 50ft (10ft less than normal fight).

I happy with that.  I think at this point making any issue of an odd 5ft - 10ft either way is just pointless.  It was more of a point just putting it in every bodies minds that his flight is better than just walking.

If it ok Moonlight will let his arrow go once he has got a clear view of the creature.
If that mean he drop his initiate order just behind Sylvia that fine (which is what I expect to happen).  Even if the creature ends up acting first.

I don't get rolls like that very often. I think I kicked its bot.

I'm pretty sure the movies were a modern retelling of the book (which I think was a true story). Anyway, that's a really cool thing to do with the babies. And please give your wife my heartfelt congratulations on having given birth 5 times! (And I refuse to think about that any further.)

Re: OCC #1

Yes, Katrina just needed to do an AoO from last round. The top most robot is down.

1I believe that electric damage isn't multiplied on a crit? So it's 20 damage, or 26 if it's multiplied.

Either way, I think that's one crushed tin can.

Bonus damage from weapon properties don't get rolled again. Sylvia's ability gives you the shock property.

Re: OCC #1

I love Oracles but you have to get the right race, spells, revelation and power mix.

With a cat (or mutant) with blindness it would be claws, divine favor and something to make your armor better.
Oh and I hope you did not make mistake one Oracle made.  Limited spells, so did not take cure light wound.
Only thing is you get cure light wounds is free.  You get it +3 other spells.

However with things being the way they are and mutants,  I am should we can bribe the GM in to letting you gain your sight and being a bard :).  I don't have an issue with it.

There may or may not be a right answer, but I'm not going to penalize y'all for not finding it.

I'm not normally going to get to deep into morality questions in the game, but I do like to use them from time to time just to see what choices are made and then the ramifications can go wild. The shorter animan admitted that he was allowed to eat other sentient life, so there is an out for the morally conscious.

I'm going to treat y'all's actions as a surprise attack, so you all can have your actions first. Remember that you can move through friendly spaces.

Just to clarify, have Ocean and Sylvia followed me up the stairs and out of immediate combat?

Katrina isn't sticking around that room - she's outclassed, badly debuffed, and of the opinion that their paycheck is dead.

Re: OCC #1

I am sitting here and contemplating the effects of large amounts of salt water on the English language (I am being silly).  Your use of word dumb is interesting.  Also the phrase "Ask the women in my life say so" would never need a qualifier.  It would mean mother, mother-in-law, sisters, wife (one), daughters, nieces and friends.

The best games are the ones when everybody has the kindness and patience to let others post when they can and GM to remind a players they still need to make a post (which I am often guilty of).

So I will be here and be ready when ever you are Mutant Master.  No hurry and no worry from us all.

Re: OCC #1

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/equip...on-descriptions/net/

Net
Cost 20 gp Weight 6 lbs.
Range Increment 10 ft. (projectile)
Category ranged Proficiency exotic
Weapon Group thrown

When you throw a net, you make a ranged touch attack against your target. A net’s maximum range is 10 feet. If you hit, the target is entangled.

If you control the trailing rope by succeeding on an opposed Strength check while holding it, the entangled creature can move only within the limits that the rope allows. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must make a concentration check with a DC of 15 + the spell’s level or be unable to cast the spell.

An entangled creature can escape with a DC 20 Escape Artist check (a full-round action). The net has 5 hit points and can be burst with a DC 25 Strength check (also a full-round action). A net is useful only against creatures within one size category of you.

A net must be folded to be thrown effectively. The first time you throw your net in a fight, you make a normal ranged touch attack roll. After the net is unfolded, you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls with it. It takes 2 rounds for a proficient user to fold a net and twice that long for a non-proficient one to do so.

So y'all could cut it off her, but no one's tried that.

Re: OCC #1

In reply to Moonlight Dalesong (msg # 383):

Disabled (0 Hit Points)
When your current hit point total drops to exactly 0, you are disabled.

You gain the staggered condition and can only take a single move or standard Action each turn (but not both, nor can you take full-round actions). You can take move actions without further injuring yourself, but if you Perform any standard Action (or any other strenuous action) you take 1 point of Damage after completing the act. Unless your activity increased your hit points, you are now at –1 Hit Points and dying.

Healing that raises your Hit Points above 0 makes you fully functional again, just as if you'd never been reduced to 0 or fewer hit points.

You can also become disabled when recovering from dying. In this case, it's a step toward recovery, and you can have fewer than 0 Hit Points (see Stable Characters and Recovery).

So you can cast your spell and avoid the damage, but that will be all you can do that round. Or you can move and not take any damage, but you can't cast your spell.

I don't have my mouse so I'm going to put this game on hold till I get home. Didn't realize how clunky Roll20 is and how crappy the mouse screen is. . . Sorry for the delay y'all.

We did Magic Kingdom and then Animal Kingdom the first two days and then had a breakday yesterday. My calfs are killing me and we still have 2 more days of parks, Hollywood and Epcot I believe, so I will be getting plenty of steps in. I've been goodish on my diet, so I at least shouldn't gain any weight and thus not hurt my goal. IDK if I told y'all or not, but I popped high on my blood sugar during my last oil change (that's what I call my yearly physical before I go for my DOT phys) so I've been doing the lazy man's Keto. Lost 20 lbs the first 3 weeks, so so far so good. We'll see if I can keep it up and loose weight to get me jump started. I was almost at 300lbs just before the "pandemic" hit and jumped all the way to almost 350.

Most games I been in have been ok and run for little while then die.

However one or two have been memorable and could be turned into a book.  One is in mega city and I have Chinese monk from 1500c fighting alongside superhero.  It was fun.

This game is slowly falling into the same place.  As the GM said  OCC: It has 1 hp. This has been a comedy of errors.  Only Ketrina could be blessed by failing a saving throw.
That is I must confess the first time I seen GM do that.  So funny.

As for Moonlight.  Now you see why he like to use a bow.  He hopeless when come to hitting things with his claws!!

Anything that uses your BAB to be calculated is considered an attack, so yes it would.

Moonlight Dalesong:

That is I must confess the first time I seen GM do that.  So funny.


My rational was that, given that he's written as a complete coward, Fellnor didn't want to yell it out so he wouldn't be a target for Kartargo's wrath. Then the spell would have come from an untrusted source to the party, so, hence the Will save. Looking at the spell again, even though it clearly has a save DC on his character sheet, there actually is no save, so everyone can have the benefits of the spell. I'll do an update and edit in the +1 bonus for y'all's post if it's needed.

From the RAW:

quote:
Ranged Attacks
With a ranged weapon, you can shoot or throw at any target that is within the weapon’s maximum range and in line of sight. The maximum range for a thrown weapon is five range increments. For projectile weapons, it is 10 range increments. Some ranged weapons have shorter maximum ranges, as specified in their descriptions.

Shooting or Throwing into a Melee
If you shoot or throw a ranged weapon at a target engaged in melee with a friendly character, you take a –4 penalty on your attack roll. Two characters are engaged in melee if they are enemies of each other and either threatens the other. (An unconscious or otherwise immobilized character is not considered engaged unless he is actually being attacked.)

If your target (or the part of your target you’re aiming at, if it’s a big target) is at least 10 feet away from the nearest friendly character, you can avoid the –4 penalty, even if the creature you’re aiming at is engaged in melee with a friendly character.

If your target is two size categories larger than the friendly characters it is engaged with, this penalty is reduced to –2. There is no penalty for firing at a creature that is three size categories larger than the friendly characters it is engaged with.

Precise Shot: If you have the Precise Shot feat, you don’t take this penalty.


So you can fire if you'd like to. I'll give you a chance to do it.

Re: OCC #1

Given that the goop is hindering her, and it's a foreign weapon, she'll wait. If he gets free or shoots at her, though, she'll fire first.

(Also, thank you Ocean for getting rid of the last of that goop!)


Edit: Also, I just want to say that I found the will save vs bless to be hilarious -- and it's actually completely in character for Sylvia to fight its effects off!

Re: OCC #1

At Katrina, since he didn't try to escape you can also do the following:

quote:
Once you are grappling an opponent, a successful check allows you to continue grappling the foe, and also allows you to perform one of the following actions (as part of the standard action spent to maintain the grapple).

Move
You can move both yourself and your target up to half your speed. At the end of your movement, you can place your target in any square adjacent to you. If you attempt to place your foe in a hazardous location, such as in a wall of fire or over a pit, the target receives a free attempt to break your grapple with a +4 bonus.

Damage
You can inflict damage to your target equal to your unarmed strike, a natural attack, or an attack made with armor spikes or a light or one-handed weapon. This damage can be either lethal or nonlethal.

Pin
You can give your opponent the pinned condition (see Conditions). Despite pinning your opponent, you still only have the grappled condition, but you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC.

Tie Up
If you have your target pinned, otherwise restrained, or unconscious, you can use rope to tie him up. This works like a pin effect, but the DC to escape the bonds is equal to 20 + your Combat Maneuver Bonus (instead of your CMD). The ropes do not need to make a check every round to maintain the pin. If you are grappling the target, you can attempt to tie him up in ropes, but doing so requires a combat maneuver check at a –10 penalty. If the DC to escape from these bindings is higher than 20 + the target’s CMB, the target cannot escape from the bonds, even with a natural 20 on the check.


You also have a +5 to your roll to maintain the grapple. Do you want to add any of those options?

Re: OCC #1

quote:
Pinned
A pinned creature is tightly bound and can take few actions. A pinned creature cannot move and is denied its Dexterity bonus. A pinned character also takes an additional –4 penalty to his Armor Class. A pinned creature is limited in the actions that it can take. A pinned creature can always attempt to free itself, usually through a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check. A pinned creature can take verbal and mental actions, but cannot cast any spells that require a somatic or material component. A pinned character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler’s CMB + spell level) or lose the spell. Pinned is a more severe version of grappled, and their effects do not stack.


quote:
Grappled
A grappled creature is restrained by a creature, trap, or effect. Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity. A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler’s CMB + spell level), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.

A grappled creature cannot use Stealth to hide from the creature grappling it, even if a special ability, such as hide in plain sight, would normally allow it to do so. If a grappled creature becomes invisible, through a spell or other ability, it gains a +2 circumstance bonus on its CMD to avoid being grappled, but receives no other benefit.


quote:
If You Are Grappled
If you are grappled, you can attempt to break the grapple as a standard action by making a combat maneuver check (DC equal to your opponent’s CMD; this does not provoke an attack of opportunity) or Escape Artist check (with a DC equal to your opponent’s CMD). If you succeed, you break the grapple and can act normally. Alternatively, if you succeed, you can become the grappler, grappling the other creature (meaning that the other creature cannot freely release the grapple without making a combat maneuver check, while you can). Instead of attempting to break or reverse the grapple, you can take any action that doesn’t require two hands to perform, such as cast a spell or make an attack or full attack with a light or one-handed weapon against any creature within your reach, including the creature that is grappling you. See the grappled condition for additional details. If you are pinned, your actions are very limited. See the pinned condition in Conditions for additional details.


It looks like it's just a standard action to break the pin. I guess that since you're still technically grappling him, he's just free of the pin. You would have to succeed at another grapple check to repin him. Being tied up makes it so that if you can't roll high enough to escape the grapplers CMB +20, which would be 26 for you, then they are stuck. Unfortunately his CMB is +8 so he had a chance.

Actually, a couple of things on my CMB.

1: Right now it's 5 due to ability damage.
2: It's +2 (so 7) for grappling purposes, due to Improved Grapple. Still, that sounds like a break.

I missed he loses his Dex so that would drop his CMB to +5 instead, so that would mean he could only break out with a nat 20. Therefore he's still pinned.

Re: OCC #1

Ocean, you would need to move adjacent to the bugbear and then perform a Disarm combat maneuver.

quote:
Disarm
You can attempt to disarm your opponent in place of a melee attack. If you do not have the Improved Disarm feat, or a similar ability, attempting to disarm a foe provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of your maneuver. Attempting to disarm a foe while unarmed imposes a –4 penalty on the attack.

If your attack is successful, your target drops one item it is carrying of your choice (even if the item is wielded with two hands). If your attack exceeds the CMD of the target by 10 or more, the target drops the items it is carrying in both hands (maximum two items if the target has more than two hands). If your attack fails by 10 or more, you drop the weapon that you were using to attempt the disarm. If you successfully disarm your opponent without using a weapon, you may automatically pick up the item dropped.


Since he is tied up then he should be also Helpless

quote:
Helpless
A helpless character is paralyzed, held, bound, sleeping, unconscious, or otherwise completely at an opponent’s mercy. A helpless target is treated as having a Dexterity of 0 (–5 modifier). Melee attacks against a helpless target get a +4 bonus (equivalent to attacking a prone target). Ranged attacks get no special bonus against helpless targets. Rogues can sneak attack helpless targets.

As a full-round action, an enemy can use a melee weapon to deliver a coup de grace to a helpless foe. An enemy can also use a bow or crossbow, provided he is adjacent to the target. The attacker automatically hits and scores a critical hit. (A rogue also gets his sneak attack damage bonus against a helpless foe when delivering a coup de grace.) If the defender survives, he must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + damage dealt) or die. Delivering a coup de grace provokes attacks of opportunity. You don't have to worry about the -4.

Creatures that are immune to critical hits do not take critical damage, nor do they need to make Fortitude saves to avoid being killed by a coup de grace.


There's no AoO as he is pinned and Helpless meaning he as a 0 Dex. This will drop him to a CMD of 13. Roll your CMB, it's at a +0 to take it from him and please add that to your post.

As for Aegis.  Having played Advance D&D the word Psionic always put fear of overpowered in my mind.  I rolled a character that gain Psionic once and result was my class skill where useless as Psionic power was so much more powerful.  However I know Pathfinder is different.

Psionics in 3.x are completely different from AD&D. In 3.x, the only broken psionic is the Spell-to-Power Erudite.

Otherwise, Psionics are one of the better-balanced subsystems in Pathfinder. Up to our beloved GM whether he'll allow, of course.

Yeah, I think Ocean is retraining. Sylvia doesn't mind hiring folks to clean the place out -- and especially to shore up the locations that need it -- but she's planning to work in the lab during the month. Unless you all have a darn good reason, she plans on declaring it off limits to the townsfolk.

She also needs to go back and collect the antidotes she had brewing... but she'll magnanimously donate those to anyone who went to clear out the spider den.


Edit: In fact, I'm not sure she'd even go back to town -- she'd head back to the base camp long enough to retrieve her cauldron and make plans... but she'd prefer to remain at the lab.

In reply to Mutant Master (msg # 474):

If the others bring folks to clean the place up (and reinforce some of the more dangerous areas), then they'll probably set up a camp nearby with food and latrine, right? Sylvia's not avoiding them, she's just focused on getting the drones working for her, and studying Aron (and whatever else she can get her hands on).[Private to GM: I consider this to be part of her levelling up process, as she's gained quite a bit of skill in Knowledge:Engineering and Disable Device.]

Until the others return, if the folks at the camp would be willing to provide her with some provisions, and Moonlight, Ocean, and Katrina would help her dig a latrine outside, she should be set until the others return? And if she gets low on food, the trip out was a day's journey or so, but that was with wagons and a bunch of people, so Sylvia should be able to make it back reasonably quickly, right?

(And if Moonlight and/or Katrina want to stay, they're more than welcome!)

Re: OCC #1

Since Katrina is not retraining after all, she's going to join the labor team (she counts for several people in physical labor, after all), take her share of the labor pay as well as the mission pay, and move into a room at the base. Her family home is getting over-full.

If we have downtime after the cleanup, she'll spend it on Profession checks, getting the base's kitchen garden started so we aren't entirely reliant on buying town food (or in other words, making money).

Yes.


So is it 4 background points and 3 MP per level (if my memory is working well today).

Are you all taking about the Mystical Connection mutation?

So I don't know if it's a typo but as it stands a first level power unlimited times a day cost 20 MP. The math says 10 MP but..shrug.

quote:
For example, you want to be able to cast true strike at will. True strike is a 1st level spell so the base cost is 2 (level 1 spell +1) then multiplied by 5, making the cost 20 MPs

First, YES you can! It's great! But it's also a 6th level Summoner spell not just an 8th level Sorc/Wiz. Nothing says you can't take the lower one.

Like I pulled 30 out of a fighter without a real affect.
16,14,14,12,12,7 array turns to 16,14,14,12,4,3 for 24 points
2 free from Quick ageing.
6 from speed, on a fighter than means you are at normal speed for someone in medium armor.
32 points with only a -1 skill point and a tanked Cha to show for it.

Now you the last 13. Pull out 2 from every good stat and take Hot/Cold vulnerable or Light sensitivity. You have mediocre to pretty bad stats. But you get 1d4+1 Dire Lions to wipe your tears away.

The example was assuming at will, so I added that for clarification.

I'm also going to add, that you can't have more than one Mystical Mutation going at one time, so no 1d4+1 dire lions every round until the others either expire or die.

I might eventually also do a ramping cost, but I'm not going to do that at this time. Like I said, I want to see how this plays out before I make any drastic changes. There might be other changes eventually, but, again, time will tell if this truly is broken.

Re: OCC #1

You know, the more I think about it, the more I think that there should be a level-restriction on it -- something like "you must have enough total levels to match the minimum level required to cast this spell", or something like that. Also, I realized that the ability doesn't have a caster level associated with it as a spell-like ability, although I (and I guess everyone else) been assuming that it was equal to one's character level. I'm guessing that some of the higher level spells could play havoc with the game at low level even at 3x/day or even 1x/day...

Also, which attribute do these use to determine save DCs?

The save DC is

quote:
This ability follows all the rules as if it was a spell like ability with an needed DC being equal to 10 + Character level + Cha mod.


I did make an error, the DC should have been Character level not spell level.

quote:
You know, the more I think about it, the more I think that there should be a level-restriction on it -- something like "you must have enough total levels to match the minimum level required to cast this spell", or something like that.


I don't want to completely cut off higher level spells, but there is some wisdom in that.

What do y'all think of this:

"All effects are based upon your character level not the level to cast it. For example: A 1st level character takes Fireball as their mutation. Minimum level of all casters to have fireball is 5th, but you don't cast it as a 5th level caster. So the range is 400ft +40/level, so in this instance it would be 440ft, and would only deal 1d6 fire damage. At 2nd level it would have a range of 480ft and deal 2d6 damage."

I said class, because domains and the like are class specific abilities.

[Private to Mephis: So, using Mephis's telekinesis power, it would be as follows:
Range: 520ft
Sustained Force: 75lbs (3x25) carried, spell lasts 3 rounds (FYI remember you have to maintain concentration, so heavy overland movement on foot will be next to impossible while using this ability. See rules for Concentration here: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic#TOC-Concentration
Combat Maneuver: Your caster level would be the same as your character level so +3 CMB + Chr mod
Violent Thrust: You can only move 3 objects in a 10ft radius up to 30ft weighing a total of 75lbs. The attack bonus is your BAB + Chr mod

While this doesn't effect the fact you're getting a pretty strong spell earlier than a caster, it's still limited due to your level.]

Now, I'm considering removing level limits on the spells since it is an ability you're basically stuck with for the rest of your character's life. I think this would be a fair trade making the ability useful at even higher levels.

Caster level didn't need to be mentioned. It's baked into how a spell like ability works (caster level equal to HD). So yes. What you have there is exactly how my secret power no one knew about works out.

One higher with a trait.

EDIT: and the easy way to say "a spell that a character of that level can cast" is "half HD rounded up" which is the speed full casters gain spell levels. Appreciate that not being the case.

We can buy off flaws but we can't reallocate spent points? If that were not the case you could put a limit and put an exponential cost on limit breaking it.

It's not going to be secret for long I had just been being cagey about what he can do. But thanks for hiding it.

If you COULD get points back you could make things cost more if you are lower level. It would also make things like taking summon monster 1 and upgrading it to your level equivalent version a viable option.

That last I would argue that is actually probably worth having an explicit exception.

"Mutation points cannot normally be bought back or added to. The exception is when you want to upgrade a Mystical Connection from a low version of the spell to a higher version this only works with directly derivative spells such as; Cure Light Wounds and it's more severe versions, numbered spells like Summon Monster, and spells with Lesser and Greater variants."

Yes, Spell level is the right call. Otherwise SLA's are harder to resist than every other spell.

Just for the record I will not be taking MYSTICAL CONNECTION.

But is we talking about rule adjustments.
Was wondering if Dark-vision could be adjusted so it is 1 MP per 20 ft.  To a maximum of 120ft.
It would then fit in with Pathfinder rules and allow you to gain distance up to dark elf.
It would also allow your ability to grow over time which is what Mutants seem to do.

I don't see Darkvision as particularly useful except in wilderness situations. Most dark places will be cramped or have walls and doors blocking everything.

It will allow me to give someone else my torch.  I can hang back and use my bow.
It means in some fights the first thing the enemy will know about Moonlight is a arrow that appear out of the darkness and hits them (hopefully).  Or flapping wings and large humanoid creature with claws appear out nowhere.

As for the changes in rules.  Very happy with the change.  Better than I could have expected.
Thanks.

Bottom line is if I fail a fly check which can happen I don't have to worry.  Unless the GM puts a spear trap or an acid lake under Moonlight.
So I happy to pass up anything else until you ladies are happy you have something of equal value to yourselves.  So it not just a money value but a value to your character in game.

I'm going to be putting up a post to potential kick things off this evening. There are currently 2 options that some may or may not share and I'll be introducing a third option.

If the items aren't assigned by the time I put up the new adventure, which is going to be after y'all decide what you're going to do so no pressure, I will assume that they are back at the lab.

Re: OCC #1

As a suggestion why don't we count that as first pick and for everyone we give a first pick (If two people or more want to use it then it is a roll off with the losers getting their first pick rights back.)

A first pick can be invoked more than once if needed if there are multiple items.

Then we don't care about how much it cost and divide the rest of the items evenly.

Then there will never be truly any hurt feelings on items as everyone can invoke the rights of first pick and dice will decide.

After everyone has used their first pick it gets reset when we get to the last person it gets reset.

The only time it would suck is if on the last person they never invoke it but we could say they have to use it before x time.

So far, we don't really need rules because there hasn't been any serious conflict.

Anyway, I think it should be considered a free-for-all on the remaining items, because nobody especially wants them if I'm not mistaken.

I'd love the emerald, but as Sylvia noted, we're cashing that out as a group.

Yeah, I basically feel like if you want it to use it, say so -- otherwise, let's sell/trade stuff. Sylvia doesn't wear armor, so both that and the arm aren't really useful to her -- but maybe Ocean could use them? And she's not proficient in firearms, but the laser rifle might be a good backup for the time being. If someone else wants it and could use it, however, she wouldn't make a fuss about it.

Personally I think Ocean should take one level in Gunslinger.

Having the little cat drawing a pistol.  Look carefully through her new glasses and shooting someone would be great.   Just have her apologizing for putting holes in people would be so funny.  Party because I know she only use the weapon if she really had to.

There seems to be an mistake in some of y'all's character sheet that's my fault.

When you select your favored bonus, could y'all indicate what you took to look like the following:

 +1 hit point (x#) or +1 skill point (x#)

If you take the skill point, please indicate which skill it goes to.

It will help me to know incase you forget to add it to your sheet.

Are we good with selling the garnets, emerald, and coral? I'm guessing we could build goodwill in Meal (and gain some political points) by giving away the armor, helping hand, and dermal stapler (if no one else wants them)....

Let's sell the gems and hold onto the other items until we can either use them or trade them productively.

Re: OCC #1

One hitch though is that one of the gems is more than the village would have. So either you can sell it at a discount, sell it somewhere else, trade it for the items you want (these would have to equal the GP amount of be very close without expecting change back), or receive a letter of credit.

Re: OCC #1

Moonlight gave each of you 2 gp as part of his promise to help each of you find an items as valuable to you as the ring he got is to him.  It's a sort of oath.  Something he take very seriously.

Part of his background.

I'm out of town this weekend stealing all the kisses and snuggles from my grandson. I haven't held a newborn in so long, I forgot how tiny they are. His whole torso is a little smaller than my hand. It's funny also how offended he gets when he needs his diaper changed. Changings were the only time I heard him cry yesterday, but we'll be spending more time with them today.

If it is aimed at Moonlight then anything under 8 subdue damage or that not a permanent effect like poison would be shrugged off.

He use to turning the other feather or two.

If you cannot take it then don't dish it out.  It only fair as Moonlight has been a little hard on Mephis.

It's easier to just do it OOC rather than dance around it IC.

Mephis is heavily armored and ranged usually that means the rearguard but IDK what everyone else does so maybe he needs to be the front line.

There's very little reason we couldn't roll them all at once, there's also very little reason the DM couldn't roll them for the lot of us. It would be easier, all of them would be right next to each other that way. It's not like we can do anything to the dice.

Question about psionics: I saw rule 13, where they work like magic; does that mean that powers/abilities cross over? For example, does SR affect psionics? Can UMD be used with psionic equipment?  Will dispel magic affect psionic effects, or detect magic detect psionic effects?

More fun with the mutation rules. At will Wizards Lucabration means you could have a wizard that blows all their spells every fight.

Really by the spell text it gives you infinite 5th level spells if you cast it for every spell you have ever cast every 20 hours or so. Up to 5th level.

Re: OCC #1

Wishing I took ranks in Knowledge Nature so I could complain in character about how little sense giant bees make.

Like there is nothing for them to pollinate at that size. They would basically be an aerial apex predator. Except unlike hawks and things bees live in huge communities. They would scour the countryside of all life and then move on for lack of food.

But assuming my head canon is not accurate in setting we aren't honor bound to follow it to the hive and burn them alive.

I would point out that we as party does not know who the good guy(s) are and who the bad ones are.

In Moonlight exp usually the one that look like a mutant is the one that been picked on but there is nothing to say that the creature laying on the ground is ghoul or vampire that been killing the local villagers...

That if we release her we could be her next meal...

Of course, Katrina's learned that she gets very far by being polite and friendly because she doesn't have to overtly threaten people very often.

With respect to Katrina and overt threats, Azhanti's experience is also that overt threats don't work for her.  But that is likely for the opposite reason that Katrina has, Azhanti is hardly physically imposing,...  She is polite by necessity.

If you move forward, make a DC Will save first, then make DC 15 Reflex save to avoid getting stuck.

Don't forget to roll your stabilization check.

I messed up slightly, those that delayed their turn shouldn't've gotten a chance to attack. That should have happened next post as they moved to after the attackers. This would have only effected Gralgal as he delayed and Katrina only held.

You can still attack. I see the round working as everything happening at once, so you can go ahead and act. I also know that if this was a table, y'all would be talking and discussing strategies, so I see it as equal to having that table chatter.

You just have to have it edited before I post.

Yes, but as it was used technically while combat was still happening, he'll have to roll the healing.

Magic Knack
Benefit: Pick a class when you gain this trait—your caster level in that class gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t raise your caster level above your current Hit Dice.

Healing* (Su)
A witch can soothe the wounds of those she touches.

Effect: This acts as a cure light wounds spell, using the witch’s caster level. Once a creature has benefited from the healing hex, it cannot benefit from it again for 24 hours. At 5th level, this hex acts like cure moderate wounds.

So, have we recovered both (some) HP and (all) spells/dailies/special abilities with the overnight rest?  Or is the approach of the fog before any recovery?

I hope everyone in the Southeast road out or escaped from the hurricane that ran through us this weekend. In VA all we got was a two days of rain. I didn't volunteer this weekend just to avoid the high winds.


Only 3 people have rolled saves, so please try to get those in so I can advance the story. I'll check back later today to see if I can, but am shooting for Monday evening at the latest.

Well, lesser restoration doesn't undo ability drain anyway. To heal that, we'd need restoration, which is a 4th level spell (requiring a minimum 7th level caster).


Edit: Rest will help with the upcoming strength ability damage...

Double Edit: ... and heal checks (plus lots of rest) will increase the rate at which it heals.

Unless the party wants to stay in place, this wouldn't be manageable as there's no where on the wagon to get bed rest. The other reasons are one the fog and two the Radiationists might attack if they see y'all weakened.

You can treat them in the wagon as it's not exactly racing down the road and it's relatively smooth enough to be able to move about, just two bumpy to get bed rest.

quote:
Treat Poison: To treat poison means to tend to a single character who has been poisoned and who is going to take more damage from the poison (or suffer some other effect). Every time the poisoned character makes a saving throw against the poison, you make a Heal check. If your Heal check exceeds the DC of the poison, the character receives a +4 competence bonus on his saving throw against the poison.


So Moonlight can make his check with Azhanti assisting. Ocean, really anyone else as well, can also help, as it's treated as light activity, but she just can't treat herself.

I will allow a retroactive skill check to cover the last save, and then roll another for the next day.

Honestly the survival aspect really doesn't seem that intense. At least not more than a normal fantasy setting. Like we have towns and factions so the idea that you are going to live to see tomorrow seems pretty sure.

Sure there are things out there that can attack you. But that doesn't drive an "every man for himself" behavior.

Not really. It's more a problem with the genre. "Post-Apocalypse" has to be really recent for it to make sense.

Something like the later Fall outs just doesn't make any actual sense, it's been 50 years? Why haven't we figured out sustainable farming yet? If I can do it once i come out of the vault then it should have been done already.

It's not a question of how scary the things that go bump in the night are because we can be more or less safe behind town walls. What you really needed to do was not let up buy rations. Like if survival is in question not having ready access to commodities is the first step. Not "Well there's a radiation dragon!" Like cool, we don't go over by the radiation dragon and if he comes to the town then we all die there isn't much else we can do since this is the only potable water for 100 miles or something.

As for the survival aspect, it more that the environment is an enemy as well as monsters around you.
I am in another survival game on this site and nobody would attack another player, they would just be happy to see another person.

It just the environment make most of the characters self reliant and often result in not the most social of people.  (stroke Ocean fussy cat ears as she and I think Mephis seem to be the exception).

The more I look at 2nd Ed, the more they add that makes it more and more Gammaworld friendly.

I'm just doing theater of the mind for this combat everyone is roughly a move action away from Ocean, so y'all can move up to help her, but will take a charge or a double move to get next to the creatures.

Heh.  That might be fun, but is unlikely to be necessary really.  You can pick her up, if you want to run, but Azhanti will (hopefully) survive long enough to develop faster modes of transportation than walking eventually (spells shorter term and items/abilities longer term...).  Like, I said assuming she can survive.

Still, the dynamic of her in a back-carrier of Katrina's tossing fireballs (or whatever) from on high, is just a great visual!  So, maybe we should make it happen just for the fun factor alone.

In any other game it is pretty common to have a 20ft move speed. No real reason to take pains to be faster. I considered dropping move to 5ft and being able to do at will Fly or Dimension Door.

Re: OCC #1

I suspect that the 'list' that Sylvia is referring to is the following from her statements in the IC thread:
Sylvia in Delving into the Dwarf's Oubliette IC thread:
..."We'll need to figure out our walkin' order again," she said, once Katrina made it up to her. "You first, and..." She paused for a moment with a glance down at her pack, then she looked over the group until her eyes settled on the newest member. "...Azhanti should follow ya. She'll be able to help you with whatever tech you find."

Sylvia in Delving into the Dwarf's Oubliette IC thread:
..."Hmm? Oh," she said, and her expression turned to a thoughtful frown. "Ocean should be third, followed by Moonlight and you; Mephis and Galgral will bring up the rear." She considered the order again, and nodded her approval of it.

Which yields the following:
  1. Katrina
  2. Azhanti
  3. Ocean
  4. Moonlight and Alyx
  5. Sylvia
  6. Mephis and Gralgal
And despite claiming that Sylvia didn't include herself (admittedly she didn't explicitly state her position), her position can be inferred implicitly from the ordering statements given (she'd be after Moonlight/Alyx and before Mephis/Gralgal, which doesn't violate any of her statements made).

Re: OCC #1

@Mutant Master, do we need initiative rolls?  Since the creature type has been (tentatively) identified, are we allowed to make additional knowledge checks (presumably, you made the initial check, which Azhanti failed)?  If so, can we make that check be Knowledge (arcana) or does it have to remain Knowledge (nature) - I have to ask, since one of those has a much better bonus than the other, untrained, knowledge skill...?

EDIT:  Or are we still in narrative/fuzzy time?  And if so, what type of actions are allowed then to combat or otherwise engage this creature (and/or save Moonlight)?

Re: OCC #1

No, just post up your full round of actions.

You may reroll your knowledge check, but it'll take 1 reaction to do so and because you're not trained, the DC is increased. Arcana won't help you with this one, as it's a pure force of nature.

It is reaching down from the "rafters" so an Acrobatics check vs DC10 would be required to make a single melee attack. Otherwise it's ranged combat only

It's flying naturally, aka without wings, and has no legs. So I'm going to rule that it wasn't tripped, but instead pulled down enough for anyone to get into melee with it since that was a pretty good roll and did just get it's CMD.

Get them healed up. See if eating mutant pituitary glands really gives more mutation points. Move on. Hope that Azhanti's back up is tankier than her first character.

Is there a "Resurrection without penalty if cast almost immediately" spell in PF?

If we leveled up I think one of us could tank all our stats to get that?

There is also Breath of Life, but it is still a 5th level Cleric/Oracle spell - so, no one will have that yet.

I cast a 5th level Sorc/Wiz spell every round. Our healer just didn't opt to have BoL as their on tap heal. 1/day it's pretty cheap, 6 points. Probably worth it, too late now.

Re: OCC #1

Moonlight (or his player has an idea) but I very not sure about this.  Or if the others going to like it.
Or if Azhanti would like it.

It sort of a little franklin's monster.  Possibly a little marcab.  And mostly will not work.

I have in the past had some fun ideas in a game (I so I thought) and found I upset other players.  In my job I talk to people about anything and everything.  Often personal medical stuff.  It is always on their terms but I realize what is normal to me and does not bother me can easily upset other.

So I leave it to GM to PM me or not (and I give GM basic outline of the idea) then it may happen depending on how the GM feels.  Like I said it most likely a long shot anyway but does fit with world we in.

Continuing down the hallway, it opens up into an area where it branches left, right, and straight ahead, but there is a large hole where the light seems to be coming from. A stone circle surrounds the hole that's mostly intact and looks kind of like a stone bench and is reflecting all the light off of them. The ceiling is just high enough here that Moonlight could fly up and over the hole if he choses.

Perhaps.  Mutant Master and I have been discussing things. It took me a long time to come up with Azhanti and I am not sure, if I can come up with another (non-derivative) concept at this point.  To be clear, it has nothing to do with the GM or any of the other players (all of whom have been extremely accommodating and helpful), it is simply my own personal foibles/limitations at play.  In any case, I have very much enjoyed the time I have had playing Azhanti and  RPing with everyone - I just don't know if I will continue with the game given Azhanti's abrupt departure.

I am working on a little Gamma World PF2 experiment if anyone is interested in trying it. I'll be much slower than this an will mostly revolve around combat with no real story structure unless I get inspired.

link to another game

I do wish to talk about what happened last encounter. I had set it abnormally high because of the damage output of certain characters. I'm not pointing fingers as it was only possible because of my ruling. Because it involved a PC death, do y'all want to readjust the Mystical Connection mutation or I could do something else that would benefit Azhanti's character? This is a one time offer and I will expect y'all to not pull any punches next time.

Re: OCC #1

If you want to call a mulligan and have Azhanti survive at -1 HP and stable, and everyone's on board with that, I'd be okay with that personally.

I admit that I'm not the most old school of role-players, really :) I mean, death being a risk of the game is fine*, but pure bad dice when we don't have any warning isn't my opinion of fun.

That said, if you think a character's combat power is too much and is unbalancing the game, then I'd hope you'd talk it over with them and come to a workable solution.

*Remember the fight with the hairling? The likelihood of death in that fight was such that Katrina essentially said "I'm not getting paid enough for this shit," and was going to cut and run until she got a critical that turned the tide. That's an interesting dilemma.

Re: OCC #1

Ya I was trying to do something more interesting than blast it with damage but then it ended up flying so the whole thing was a bust.

Mystical Connection is broken. No two ways about it. The one fix you did attempt didn't solve the underlying issue and only served to force more somewhat balanced and interesting builds out of circulation.

If you don't put a flat spell level no greater than character level/2 (putting spell availability in line with wizards) then you may least need to put a limit on the number of points you can spend on any one thing. Mutation points no higher than character level leaves vastly OP spells available but not completely BS OP spells open. At it's most abused it forces someone like me to have a variety of 1/day effects which simply makes the fights more interesting and makes us vulnerable to attrition.

With those limitations being more lenient on upgrading your mutations seems called for. Using points to change the spells to direct upgrades (lesser to normal to greater, numbered summons, etc.) And being allowed to increase the uses while staying within the other limits. Both seem reasonably on theme.

@katarina you might not mind people dying but having someone die every fight until one player decides the fight is over isn't really the 'old school' spirit.

Re: OCC #1

Have y'all ever played 2e psionics? It'll take since work, but there are basically power trees that each power in the tree become as players advance. So like Summon Monster would go up 1-9 as the PC got leveled enough to use it and trade the old power out. It would take a little work for the odd spells, but I should be able to work it out.

Or I could put it more in line with like gnome/elven racial spells where you pick 3 0 level spells and a 1st level at character creation to use any of the shells 3x/day and then give extra spell levels as y'all advance.

I did want the PCs to be powerful and unique, but then I just find it difficult to balance encounters without them being really deadly.

Re: OCC #1

Why not add a mutation to the creature we were fighting and it absorbed Azhanti.  Have like an egg (or the heart) start to grow and spit out Azhanti again maybe with some difference of some sort.

On the mystical connection I would almost say it is too expensive in some ways but definitely over powered in others.  Why not use the method in creating races from pathfinder

quote:
Spell-Like Ability, At-Will (Variable, see Special)
Prerequisites: None.

Benefit: Choose a 3rd-level or lower spell that does not attack a creature or deal damage. Members of this race can use this spell as an at-will spell-like ability. The caster level of the spell is equal to the user’s character level.

Special: This trait costs as many RP as twice the level of spell chosen (minimum 2). Up to five spells can be chosen when you take this trait. Each time you take an additional spell, adjust the RP cost of this trait appropriately.


With modification of offensive spells cost double of triple and put a cap of 3rd or level to start.  Once you reach a level of being able to cast the spell (8th means can pick 4th, 10th means cast 5th)

Re: OCC #1

Fortunately you can do most of the work piecemeal. If no one is using Summon Nature's Ally then there isn't a real reason to put the work into it.

Yes, it's trivial to have our offense go way over our defense.

Monsters on the other hand are "balanced" at a certain level. They actually are also offensively balanced generally which only exacerbates the problem. See many player analyses on the subject for details.

But more over anyone not dumping stats and move and such to get free spells is going to be left way behind.

Shrug. I stayed far away from that mutation, but I also had a theme I was going for so it didn't matter to me. But yeah, I think it may need to be reworked. I'm not great at that sort of thing though.

And I'm fine with Azhanti not being completely dead, or coming back or whatever.

Re: OCC #1

You should be able to be effective without interacting with the system. Since it is an optional system.

Re: OCC #1

Maybe it'll help if I explain what I loved and hated about Gamma World in the first place. I loved that you could create fun characters quickly. It was all random so with about a dozen or so rolls, you'd be ready to go. The down side is that nothing was balanced, as in the mutations were either super powered or you'd come out next to useless and the skill system was next to non-existent. I always had terrible luck with the character creation, but I always figured out how to have fun even though their lives were almost always short lived.

Today's gamer just doesn't want randomness. I've tried running the old school version, but could never get enough players together, so Pathfinder is the way to draw people into a world that I've loved since high school. The d20 modern system tried to recapture the primary fun, but the mutations were more sci-fi than science fantasy. They were more of an obstacle rather than a fun feature.

At that's my goal, to make something that's fun for everyone but gives the freedom to create fun and wacky characters.

Re: OCC #1

In reply to Mutant Master (msg # 983):

I will say I used to love rolling random character for Marvel's old d100 FASERIP game. Trying to come up with an explanation for how the character's origin and powers could match up was sometimes frustrating (as could be the sometimes-useless characters rolled up) but also fun. And for me, it's about making a character that will be fun to play, not necessarily due to what class features or powers they have, though I will admit to trying to make that happen as well.

Re: OCC #1

It's not the randomness it's that it's a fairly obscure system. You could probably do just about anything in d20 on here and it would fill.

The real problem with randomness on PbP is that if a player doesn't like what they random they are a lot more likely to gost you. Since they were about 99% likely to do that anyway.

Re: OCC #1

The randomness of gammaworld had issue where if you had a concept and the roll ruined it it was done.

In my table top we do a lot of randomness but give some veto and variety.  Example being you could read the rolls front or back in percentiles and choose.  And each player is given two vetos as well as one roll above and beyond the number required.

This allowed for fairly random but not hand picked.

We usually do this with hero games where we use Palladium heroes unlimited and roll randomly and then switch to another system to build.

Re: OCC #1

If you are playing a game with random CC you have to go in without a firm concept. RPOL doesn't work for that since the GM let you into the game based on a character pitch. Which is already too much to play nice with random gen.

Re: OCC #1

Yeah, I understand all y'alls' points, so we're back to crafted characters. So the question still stands. Do we keep going with mutations as usual, go to a stepped up ability tree that is create on a case by case basis, or model after racial spells?

It doesn't have to be hashed out before we continue with the story, but it will need to be decided soon.

FYI, I won't retcon Azhanti's death. She's dead, but I will either make the party find the way to bring her back I prewrote into the adventure or offer it.

Re: OCC #1

Randomness works far better if everyone is on board for a more narrative-style game, rather than a power-creep style (which is D&D's default). In that case power imbalances can be smoothed out (at least somewhat) by narrative focus. But I am also not really a fan of random character gen, for the reasons Mephis stated above.


I don't think I have any firm ideas on fixing mutations, though -- sorry.

Edit: Also, if there might be a way to bring her back, I'll forego listing her stuff in the "treasure" post for now.

Re: OCC #1

Let me just start out by saying that I would prefer that Mutant Master and that group not bend over backwards to save Azhanti.  While I am not the biggest fan of randomness (in character generation - not the case here - or in play - as with character death, which is the case here), as a player I knew what I was getting into when I submitted my RTJ to join.  Mutant Master has been more than accommodating to all of my requests and questions and should not feel poorly for any reason surrounding Azhanti's demise.  I was even admitted to the game after the solicitation window had closed; so, in that sense Azhanti on borrowed time anyways.  I feel bad that I made Mutant Master do so much work to get Azhanti in, only to have her not survive the first full encounter (her introduction wasn't really 'an encounter' from my standpoint; it started, media res where she was surrounded and staked out, virtually naked, to die; so, her chances were fully up to the GM's largess at that point).

And while I am still in a bit of shock as to Azhanti's death, I don't want the game or game play to change or suffer on account of that.  Perhaps Mystical Connection is too powerful in some respects - but as noted, it comes with (or requires taking) enough drawbacks to make balanced (sort of).  In some ways, it made Azhanti a glass cannon, but no more so than being low-level (where any unlucky roll of the dice will make mince meat of a character, which is what happened to her - the Brittle Bones drawback didn't help, but that was my choice).  I don't think that adding a more complex tree-structure to mutation rules would necessarily help with character generation (or resolve this balance issue).  Not sure if the added complexity would really be worth it, but that maybe that is just me.

I have had plenty of first through third level characters die back in the 80's and 90's when I played more DnD and Gamma World.  And like Mutant Master, I was often the victim of poor dice rolling (in chargen and play) leading to early and untimely death in first edition Gamma World and old school AD&D land.  I won't say that I am used/like it, but I am familiar with the circumstance.

Anyways, my original statement was not meant to be an indictment of the play style or the character generation rules as written.  I was simply trying to truthfully answer Alyx's question about whether I could/would continue.  My time is more limited nowadays than it was back in the 80's and 90's where I happily rolled up and daydreamed about extra characters in my off-time.  Which was really, the intent/subtext of my answer; it takes me a while to come up with something that catches my fancy (and is probably more sturdy ... :D).  And I know that games (especially PBP) don't always afford that luxury of that time; so, I don't want to hold up the game either.  It should remain fun and active for everyone involved.

Re: OCC #1

This conversation is literally "Should we nerf Mephis." So imma stay out of it. I feel like I did my due diligence telling MM what I was doing and how it would work. So my conscience is clear.

Re: OCC #1

No, I don't want to nerf you, just delay your power or we continue as is and deal with the consequences. I'm fine with either path, but I just want to be clear that staying with it as it is will make the encounters more deadly and thus everyone needs to know this upfront so that they can plan accordingly.

Re: OCC #1

Since everyone is not set up that way, I personally would prefer not to have to deal with every encounter being above our weight, so to speak, because of one or two characters having abilities more powerful than is normal for our level.

That said, I'm fine with whatever and will roll with it. If Alyx dies, he dies. It happens. =)

Re: OCC #1

I love all y'all's characters. Y'all took what I thought would be interesting and did just that, made it interesting. I just want to make sure everyone is having fun and having encounters that are way more powerful than they need to be can be annoying. As everyone grows in power, this will eventually balance out, but the power creep is front loaded at this time.

Re: OCC #1

Finally got a second to record stuff in the treasure thread and I had a question for Mutant Master:

Is the wand in the Deep Trunk supposed to Sending, or Whispering Wind? Message has a very limited range to it. I was about to make a post about that point, except I thought I should probably ask first.

Also, this post hits the thread limit for RPoL; you should probably make a new OOC thread.
