Sorry, poor maths on my part :(

The horse will buck her off in that case. The ride roll was just to remain in the saddle.

Sometimes unfortunate outcomes make for good roleplaying.

In my live game last week a player when attacked by a pack of raptors rolled three '99's in a row. It was heart-stopping.

In reply to Bandos (msg # 153):

Fair do. Can you let me know if I take any damage from that please and what the bear is doing?

Im concerned about anyone who feels the need to play a nonhuman character. Ive had a lot of bad experiences in RQG with players playing dragonnets,  telmori, agimori and minotaurs, trolls etc. IMHO anyone who feels a need to play them is often looking for the stat advantages they offer. As a ref i asked what their justification is and what limitation they are willing to accept to play the character. If they are not willing to accept limitations then they are just munchkin  and arent interested in the RP possibilities.

Specifically ive had issues in the past as a player and ref  with Mintotaur and Agimori shamans. Ive always asked players wanting to play these if they are willing to accept the geas - Avoid RUST (dont wear metal armor) as a balance - ad if they argue a lot or complain then i say no. As its an indicator to player behavior. Similarly ive asked them if they are really interested and its for roleplay - would they play a young troll or a young agimori with human stats - similarly most people have declined making it obvious its the stats they are after.

I have to admit I agree with the above

Are you going to NPC Orestes for a while?

If he just disappears Ayken is going to be well impressed at the power of the avenging daughter...

"See! The idiot who shot at me, he just DISAPPEARED!! Surely this is proof of the might of Babeester GoR!!"

Ayken, it's about midday that we ran into you.

GM; in Petronax's mind does he think that bear will die, recover or recover maimed?
The answer sort of defines his next comment.

Yes to much of this. It's not many steps until you get to D&D 5th which is basically just humans in cosplay for stats.

A duck is a nice "you wanna be special, fine, be special" and is canon.

A value trollkin is no great gain in stats, gets dark sense, but daylight is a bitch, and will be often treated with great suspicion.

A crested dragonnewt, or for a more experienced party, beaked, that is out of the loop has no dragon magic and could start with a poor selection of spirit magic. Actually good potential for a Humakti or Babeester warrior - as they are doomed to die such a cult would be appealing. But suspicion and fear is their lot.

Other beastmen for me would be a hard no. Not even a centaur - as so much of the game would essentially be them tending the horses whilst the party were indoors.

Agrimori is an option, even as an adult. Big minuses in bad weather. Lots of potential of the local toughs looking to prove a point with the big bugger.

Dwarves, a hard no.

A exiled elf, yeah, maybe. Lots of suspicion, not so much fear as elves need to be quite experienced to be a threat by themselves. Side note, elves on their own ground with runners massed attacks, pixie scouts, and magic support from dryads including use of other forest creatures - are deadly.

A bachelor newtling would not be unbalancing. And if the party get hungry, a tasty snack... as IMG the tails regrow and some people keep populations of bachelor newtlings as slaves for regular tail harvesting...

Morokanth is just about doable I suppose.

Telmori would be amusing in Balazar. One day a week the party would just have a rather wolf dog that happened to be immune to most weapons, LOL.

The bear wa injured by a few arrows but the wounds don't seem to be life threatening from what you could see at that range.

Heal is not limited on the number of times it can be used on a wound. A 6 point injury can have 3 heal2s cast on it to heal all the damage.

What is everyone's view on a Chalana Arroy shaman in the party?

Probably useful.

In reply to Bandos (msg # 165):

Would never say no to a healer. Is that doubling down on shamans?

In reply to Bandos (msg # 165):

Don't see the point of CA + Shaman. The former? Great, but why'd they want to be with us?

I think Ayken would say:

"I will guard you with my life, but know my axe shows no mercy to those who despoil the earth, oath-breakers, kin-slayers and any who harm those in the mother's protection, even after they lie injured or begging for a mercy other than a clean death, my mouth is foul, I don't like vegetables, and my trophy belt is something you will have to accept. The attraction of accompanying one such as I to bind wounds and heal is not something I can fathom but welcome."

CA shaman seeks a strange mix, the latter a rather primitive belief style and the former not so. Limiting in terms of the spirits and spells that they deal with, but okay with me.

Really..

Looks like there's concerns about my  character choice. I suspect this will be a reflection of your reaction to my ic activity.

For anyone without tradetalk everyone has it starting at half INT times 5

In reply to Bandos (msg # 171):

Thats higher than speak own language that has a base of 30 for RQ3???

In reply to Nicomeus Vitus Magisterius (msg # 172):

I was getting systems mixed up. That's CoC I was thinking of. Ok, half of your speak own language should do it. Round up in case of halfs.

That cracked me up

Your choice whether to go on or camp for the night but it is now about 9pm after running from the Allosaurus

Is there any broken ground or similar protective terrain nearby?
