Hey, Everest.

Just wondering... What are your thoughts on the Gray Guard Prestige Class?

There are too many toasters in my chimney!

Also, just a little note... I might be a bit late tomorrow. I've got to get up at half past eight in the morning, drive out to my nan's old house about half an hour from here, dig up th garden and bring it back here so I have a garden >.<

So depending on if that takes more than two hours (Plus time to drive), I could be a bit late. But there is no way on earth it could take three hours, so yeah, if I am late, it won't be terribly so.

I thought we were playing today anyway. In . . . 10 hours, to be exact. We agreed that Saturdays seemed to work best for everyone (or your Sundays, I suppose).

And the Gray Guard should be fine. I'll allow anything of the nonevil character alignments.

Whe I started writing that message, today was tomorrow.

I'm disappearing... in about an hour :/

But I seriously should be back around 12, if not a bit before :/

I just got out of my Anime club meeting. Between that and this game, my Saturdays are really fun.

Anyway, two hours left. Woo!

Lucky bastard. My school pulled anime club the year my class got in. ;_; Glad you had fun, though.

Anywho, I'm excited for our second game. Hopefully we get through more than one battle this time. :P Also, I downscaled the squares on the grid, so we can fit more onto the whole thing. It's now 30 squares by 15.

My school wouldn't do that. Our anime club hosts the largest free convention on the continent, so they're fairly proud of us, and a few people decide to attend just because of it.

More grid space will be nice.

[Seren] Well, this just doubled my lag...
19:48 INUH|Tramlaw So is there a die roller built in or what?
Everest|Llayra Yep. That would be feepbot. ^^^ :/
INUH|Tramlaw How do you use it?
19:49 Everest|Llayra type ".roll x"
feepbot Everest|Llayra: I do not understand x"!
19:50 Everest|Llayra For example, .roll 1d4
feepbot Everest|Llayra: d4 : 3

funnyguts (Okay!)
20:24 Everest|Llayra The adventurers Felgrove, Tramlaw, Seren, and Llayra are at the foot of the forest of Ruthsford.
20:25 Everest|Llayra Does anyone wish to buy supplies before departing? This is mostly as a courtesy.
INUH|Tramlaw I've already got supplies, myself.
Zersk|Felgrove (Same.)
Cygan|Seren I have all the supplies I believe I will need, thankyou.
20:26 INUH|Tramlaw (Right. Parentheses. Forgot.)
Everest|Llayra I don't need parenthese for DM narration, for the record.
Everest|Llayra *parentheses
Zersk|Felgrove "Well!" Felgrove says, scratching his head, "Shall we go?"
Everest|Llayra "Sure, yeah," says Llayra.
20:27 INUH|Tramlaw "I guess there's no point to just sitting around here."
Cygan|Seren "I am ready," Seren affirmed.
INUH|Tramlaw (should we describe our characters before venturing off?)
Cygan|Seren (Why?)
INUH|Tramlaw (I dunno. Just a thought.)
Everest|Llayra (Yeah, let's. @ Cygy: So we can visualize.)
Everest|Llayra (Not necessarily personality;just appearance)
20:28 Cygan|Seren (Ah. Right. Forgot you guys don't already do that >.<)
Everest|Llayra (I'd find it wrong to assume what someone else's character would look like, myself)
GMH changes nick to GMH[afk]
20:29 INUH|Tramlaw (Tramlaw is a human, about average height. Brown hair, brown eyes. He wears a traveler's outfit and has a toad sitting on his right shoulder. His face, though not quite ugly, looks a little...off. It's hard to describe why.)
Zersk|Felgrove Felgrove puts his hand on a tree. He's average height and a skinny build. His hair is brown and wavy, reaching his shoulders. He has a slight stubble growing on his chin.
20:30 Zersk|Felgrove "Still," Felgrove said, his elf ears hidden behind his hair. "I don't think I understand what's going on here."
Everest|Llayra Llayra grooms her wolf Haisa. Her hair is long and blonde, and her eyes are a deep green. She is tall for a girl, and her skin is a fine peachy color. She is wearing hide clothing and has a scimitar on her belt.
Zersk|Felgrove "Well," he says, "I guess there's no point in dawdling."
20:31 INUH|Tramlaw "Well, I'm not exactly versed in local affairs, but the way I see it, they're fighting. We want them to cut it out."
Cygan|Seren (Seren stands a little taller than Felgrove. Her straight, white hair is cropped above her neck, framing her pale green eyes.)
Everest|Llayra "Not really, no." Llayra says. "I just heard that we're supposed to get rid of monsters."
Everest|Llayra "Yes to Tramlaw."
Everest|Llayra (>.<)
INUH|Tramlaw (Ninjaing happens, I guess.)
20:32 Everest|Llayra (Uh-huh)
Zersk|Felgrove "Well, let's get going then!" Felgrove says, and with that, he he walks off into the forest.
INUH|Tramlaw follows Felgrove
Everest|Llayra follows Tramlaw
Cygan|Seren also follows Felgrove
Everest|Llayra (By the way, let's establish marching order)
20:33 INUH|Tramlaw (Good idea. Should the paladin with all the armor go in front?)
Cygan|Seren (She only has two pieces of armour :<)
Everest|Llayra (Yeah. After that, I'm indifferent. Where do you want Tramlaw? Is he mostly going to rely on casting so far?)
20:34 Everest|Llayra ^^ (She's still got high Armor Class and is good at fighting melee)
Everest|Llayra (@ INUH: I can't imagine. He doesn't have that many spells per day yet)
INUH|Tramlaw (Hm. He's actually got 12 HP and can do okay with a spear, oddly. I think he might be able to bring up the rear okay for now.)
Cygan|Seren (True.)
20:35 Everest|Llayra (Okay. How's about this: Seren, Llayra, Felgrove, Tramlaw?)
Everest|Llayra (For 1x4, of course)
Zersk|Felgrove (Syoor)
INUH|Tramlaw (No objection here)
Cygan|Seren (Actually)
Cygan|Seren (What class is Llayra?)
Zersk|Felgrove (Druid, I think.)
Everest|Llayra (She's a druid. She might use her sling a bit, though)
20:36 Cygan|Seren (Which has better defence/HP- druid or bard?)
GMH[afk] changes nick to GMH
Zersk|Felgrove (My Hit points is 5, so...)
Everest|Llayra (Druids have a higher hit die, but they both have the same BAB. I think I have a higher Armor Class than Felgrove. And I'm definitely better for melee as is)
Everest|Llayra (I have twelve HP, and he has a -2 to melee)
Zersk|Felgrove (Kay.)
20:37 Cygan|Seren (In that case, Felgrove should go immediately behind me.)
Cygan|Seren (Because I can defend him best.)
INUH|Tramlaw (I'm only AC 13, but I have 12 HP and a +2 attack that does 1d8+2.)
INUH|Tramlaw (that'd be my spear.)
Everest|Llayra (Well, Felgrove can fight fairly well with a bow, so he might be better further back than that)
20:38 Cygan|Seren (Maybe- but)
Cygan|Seren (I' most worried about ambushes.)
INUH|Tramlaw (Good point. They'll be from the back or sides)
Cygan|Seren (Felgrove is a good support character, so he'll do best in supporting us in case of ambush.)
20:39 Everest|Llayra (Also, we're probably not traveling 1x4. We have enough room for 2x2)
Cygan|Seren (Exactly. So, in that case, Felgrove would be in the best position to support us- as would Seren, who can heal.)
Everest|Llayra (Wait, there's my wolf, too)
INUH|Tramlaw (Hm. 2x2 is harder to decide.)
Everest|Llayra (Except we have five to work with)
Cygan|Seren (Wait, who's the fifth?)
INUH|Tramlaw (Wolf should be in or near the back. I feel like they're hard to ambush.)
Everest|Llayra (Haisa, Llayra's wolf, is the fifth)
20:40 Cygan|Seren (Who has the highest Spot/Listen check out of us all?)
Everest|Llayra (Guys, pop on over to iScribble, and I can show you something. My Listena nd Spot are 8 and 6, respectively. Haisa's are three each)
Zersk|Felgrove (Listen 5/Spot 4 for me.)
INUH|Tramlaw (I have both at +2 when my familiar's within 10 feet, or 0 otherwise)
20:41 Cygan|Seren (The two of us with the highest Spot/Listen checks at the back of the party.)
20:47 Everest|Llayra Everyone make Listen and Spot checks, now that we are somewhat deep within the forest.

Zersk|Felgrove (Listen = 22, Spot = 11)
Everest|Llayra Felgrove, Seren, and Llayra hear something. Tramlaw, Felgrove, and Seren see something.
INUH|Tramlaw (What do I see?)
20:52 Zersk|Felgrove "Hm?" Felgrove says. He turns around and takes a good look, taking out his bow.
INUH|Tramlaw reaches for his spear...
Everest|Llayra (Those who hear things hear sounds roughly equivalent to yappy dogs barking. Those who see things see a group of four kobolds)
Everest|Llayra takes out scimitar
Cygan|Seren Seren flinches when she sees the kobolds, going for her lonsword.
Everest|Llayra The kobolds are 150 feet away.
20:53 Zersk|Felgrove "Kobolds, eh?" Felgrove says.
Everest|Llayra "Huh. they don't look so tough."
INUH|Tramlaw "Is that what those are?" Tramlaw whispers, hoping they don't hear.
Everest|Llayra (Okay, I was whispering).
Zersk|Felgrove "Yeah," Felgrove whispers back.
Zersk|Felgrove "Not so tough, really. Maybe we can talk to them."
20:54 INUH|Tramlaw "Right. We can take them if they try anything."
20:55 Zersk|Felgrove "Good," Felgrove replies. He keeps his bow on hand and stands up straight. "Shall I call to them or not?" he asks the others.
Everest|Llayra Everyone can make Hide checks if they want. We're nearby trees, so we have some cover.
INUH|Tramlaw "Go for it. Best to make contact while they're still a good distance."
Cygan|Seren "Uhhhh..." Seren says, appraising the kobolds. "Maybe I could try talking to them?"
20:56 Everest|Llayra Or we can move in and attempt to talk.
Everest|Llayra Assuming anyone speaks Draconic.
Cygan|Seren (Oh, yeah...)
Cygan|Seren (Frickin' languages)
INUH|Tramlaw "Draconic? Well, if they don't speak Common, Undercommon or Goblin, I can't help."
20:57 Everest|Llayra "I only know the common language and the language of my people," says Llayra.
Cygan|Seren "I m afraid I do not speak Draconic, though," Seren sighs.
Zersk|Felgrove "Well, I think we're a bit out of luck then," Felgrove says. "I only know Common, Elven, Goblin and Gnomish."
20:58 Cygan|Seren Seren curses.
Everest|Llayra So no one can understand what the kobolds are saying. Communication will be much more complicated now.
INUH|Tramlaw "Oh, well. Do we try to act peaceful, scare them off or fight?"
Zersk|Felgrove "Act peaceful. See if that works."
20:59 INUH|Tramlaw "I guess. Let's make contact while at a distance, though, in case things go badly."
Everest|Llayra "That might work." So, do we want to move in?
Everest|Llayra How far?
Cygan|Seren (75 feet. Halve the distance.)
INUH|Tramlaw (75 is good.)
Zersk|Felgrove (Yerp.)
21:00 Cygan|Seren (Enough to react if they advance, but not far enough to be unable to communicate.)
Zersk|Felgrove Slowly, Felgrove moves closer, making the distance between the groups smaller. He has his bow down, trying to signify peace.
21:01 Everest|Llayra Llayra moves forward, with her scimitar pointing down in a similar manner.
Everest|Llayra Or, she ushers the group on, being in the rear and all.
INUH|Tramlaw lowers his spear, but doesn't let go of it, and moves in as well.
21:02 Cygan|Seren Seren holds her longsword down, the point aiming at but not touching the ground, and moves forward too.
Zersk|Felgrove (Shall I call out to them?)
21:03 Cygan|Seren (Damit)
Cygan|Seren (I was going to suggest Felgrove stays back.)
Zersk|Felgrove (Oh.)
Zersk|Felgrove (Well, just imagine he is. >:P)
Zersk|Felgrove (You call out to them then.)
Cygan|Seren (Since he has a bow and all, and isn't so suited for melee.)
21:04 Cygan|Seren Serena hails the kobolds. "Hay!" she shouts.
Everest|Llayra (We can stick with marching order while moving)
INUH|Tramlaw (I figured we were doing that.)
21:05 Zersk|Felgrove Felgrove keeps a cautious stance while Serena calls out.
21:07 Cygan|Seren (So, uh...)
INUH|Tramlaw (Check the iScribble, Cygan)
Zersk|Felgrove (We're working on the map, silly. :P)
21:08 Cygan|Seren (Sorry I
Cygan|Seren (I'm busy keeping records of what's going on.)
Zersk|Felgrove Same.
21:16 Everest|Llayra I hope this isn't too boring for everyone without iScribble. We're dealing with map stuff right now.
21:18 Everest|Llayra The kobolds take note of the approach of the four adventurers and prepare their weapons.
21:19 INUH|Tramlaw "Hm. They don't look friendly."
Zersk|Felgrove "No..." Felgrove puts up his hand in a gesture of peace.
Cygan|Seren As Seren approaches, she swings her shield onto her arm from its' position on her back.
INUH|Tramlaw (They moved. That can't be good.)
21:20 Everest|Llayra The kobolds take note of Felgrove's gesture and chatter amongst themselves.
Everest|Llayra None of you can tell what they're saying, of course. You just hear barking.
Everest|Llayra The kobolds then yell out to you all, but it's all still gibberish.
21:21 Cygan|Seren Seren raises her hand in a gesture of good will.
INUH|Tramlaw peacefully raises the hand that isn't holding a large weapon.
Zersk|Felgrove "Uh, WE NO SPEAK DRACONIC!" Felgrove yells out, hoping to get the message across.
21:22 Everest|Llayra The kobolds seem perplexed that you don't understand them, but they recognize body language and wait for a response.
INUH|Tramlaw "Um. Okay. They aren't attacking, so that's a start..."
Zersk|Felgrove "Now, how are we going to do this..."
21:23 Everest|Llayra The kobolds are now irate. One of them is stamping its foot
Cygan|Seren Seren lowers her sword to the ground, hoping they will recognize it as an attempt at peace.
Cygan|Seren (Goddamit)
Everest|Llayra They bark at the adventurers again.
INUH|Tramlaw "Wonderful. This isn't going to end well."
INUH|Tramlaw tries speaking undercommon: "Can you understand me?"
21:24 Cygan|Seren "No, it's not," Serena says ruefully.
Everest|Llayra The kobolds then thrust their spears at the adventurers, in the air, unable to comprehend Tramlaw. They then move their spears towards the town.
Zersk|Felgrove "The town? Are we from the town, I think."
INUH|Tramlaw nods.
Cygan|Seren Serena tries to understand their body language. Creasing her brow, she nods. "Yeah, that's it."
21:25 Cygan|Seren She taps her chest with her hand, then points in the direction of the town.
Everest|Llayra The kobold to the left then growls more loudly and furiously swings its spear towards the town.
INUH|Tramlaw "Well, that seemed pretty clear. They aren't up to anything pleasant."
21:26 Everest|Llayra The kobold swigs towards the town and then thrusts at the air towards us.
Zersk|Felgrove Felgrove nods.
Cygan|Seren Serena warily lifts her sword again.
INUH|Tramlaw nervously looks at the others and lifts his spear. "I'm not seeing a peaceful solution to this."
Everest|Llayra Llayra does the same, sensing an unavoidable conflict.
21:27 Everest|Llayra Everyone roll initiative. Battle has begun.

Zersk|Felgrove (Hehe, S'okay.)
INUH|Tramlaw (same result?)
INUH|Tramlaw (I'm first in the party, looks like.)
Everest|Llayra (Well, the first rolls apply for us, but the second are strictly against each other)
21:29 Everest|Llayra (Out of us, it's Tramlaw, Llayra, Seren, Felgrove. Hold on, I'll roll for Haisa now)
Zersk|Felgrove (Whoops)
Zersk|Felgrove (I restarted by accident.)
Everest|Llayra .roll d20+2
feepbot Everest|Llayra: (d20 : 4) + 2: 6
Everest|Llayra (Tramlaw, Llayra, Seren, Haisa, Felgrove. We'll find out how the enemies did soon enough)
21:30 INUH|Tramlaw (Right. Are any kobolds going before me?)
Cygan|Seren ('kay.)
Everest|Llayra No. And I have them all on the same initiative, for the record. 'Tis easier that way.
INUH|Tramlaw (That works.)
21:31 Everest|Llayra Tramlaw's turn.
21:32 INUH|Tramlaw advances cautiously (as shown on the map) and readies an action to chuck his spear at the first one to get within 20 feet.
Everest|Llayra Okay. Next is Llayra.
21:33 -> Zemyla has joined yackfest-rp
Zersk|Felgrove (Ohay, uh...)
Zersk|Felgrove (Zemlya?)
Zersk|Felgrove (The OOC is #jammiesOOC)
21:34 Everest|Llayra (Zemlya is a regular for funnybunny's D&D game
Everest|Llayra He might be confused)
Zersk|Felgrove (Oh.)
Zersk|Felgrove (Okay!)
21:35 INUH|Tramlaw (I see.)
Everest|Llayra moves as shown on the map
21:37 Everest|Llayra Actually, I'll hustle, moving up to double the normal speed.
21:38 Everest|Llayra Scimitar is drawn; end turn. Now it's the kobolds.
Everest|Llayra Head to iScribble to see their movement.
21:42 Everest|Llayra The first kobold is now within twenty feet of Tramlaw.
INUH|Tramlaw throws his spear. .roll 1d20+3
feepbot INUH|Tramlaw: (d20 : 13) + 3: 16
21:43 Everest|Llayra The longspear thrown by Tramlaw just barely pierces the kobold's shoulder. It fails to dodge! Now roll for damage.
INUH|Tramlaw .roll 1d8
feepbot INUH|Tramlaw: d8 : 3
INUH|Tramlaw (aw. At least I have another spear.)
21:44 Everest|Llayra (You add Strength on thrown weapon damage, by the way. Though 3 was enough to kill that kobold)
INUH|Tramlaw (You do? Well, then, it was a 5. Yay, overkill!)
Cygan|Seren (Shit.)
Cygan|Seren (Just barely pierces its' shoulder and it's dead?)
Cygan|Seren (WTF)
21:45 Everest|Llayra As the spear pierces the kobold's shoulder, it quickly clutches at the spear before falling to its knees, and then on its face. And getting pierced in the shoulder is usually quite deadly in real life)
INUH|Tramlaw (Shoulder injuries are pretty serious. Also, it technically has to bleed out, but I assume we're ignoring that.)
Cygan|Seren (Yeah, AFTER you bleed out :/)
Cygan|Seren Ninja'd
Everest|Llayra (We assume it dies if it's not treated).
Everest|Llayra (But it's incapacitated anyway, at least)
Cygan|Seren (Ohkay)
21:46 Cygan|Seren (Out of the fight, in any case.)
Everest|Llayra (Yeah)
Everest|Llayra (Okay, so it's not like barely. It still hit square in the shoulder. and in any case a little guy like a kobold is going down in such a case)
21:47 Cygan|Seren (He's a one- no, three-hitpoint-wonder, in any case.)
21:48 Everest|Llayra The second kobold, seeing as it turns its head the defeat of its ally, moves towards Tramlaw, seeing him as the greatest threat.
Everest|Llayra It thrusts its spear at him.
INUH|Tramlaw (My AC is 13)
21:49 Everest|Llayra It's currently threatening a critical.
Everest|Llayra (As a reminder, I'm rolling DM stuff in real life, to keep suspense up)
INUH|Tramlaw (Shit. Glad I have decent HP.)
21:50 Everest|Llayra Its confirmation roll is an 8, so the hit is normal.
Cygan|Seren (Yeh-he-he)
INUH|Tramlaw (Phew.)
Everest|Llayra Tramlaw is stabbed in the side for 3 damage.
INUH|Tramlaw Ow! (9 HP left)
21:51 Everest|Llayra Third kobold's turn.
Everest|Llayra It launches a bullet from its sling at Llayra!
21:52 Cygan|Seren (Those idiots -_-)
Everest|Llayra (Fuck. This one's threatening a critical on her).
Everest|Llayra (Clearly the random number god does not approve of jammies)
INUH|Tramlaw (Your dice hate us.)
Cygan|Seren (-_-)
21:53 Everest|Llayra Its confirmation roll is a 5. It hits normally.
INUH|Tramlaw (Well, our luck is either very good or very bad.)
21:54 Everest|Llayra (Eh. It's kinda balancing out. But the fact that we're being hit is still bad).
INUH|Tramlaw (True.)
Everest|Llayra Llayra is bonked in the jaw for 2 damage!
Everest|Llayra (10/12)
21:55 Everest|Llayra The fourth kobold fires its bullet at Llayra, seeing as she is still armed.
Everest|Llayra (Fuck. Fuck. No. No. This is not happening. No.)
21:56 INUH|Tramlaw (20?! What?! Switch dice, dude!)
Everest|Llayra (Sure. Hopefully that works better).
21:57 Everest|Llayra The confirmation roll is a 9. Normal hit.
Everest|Llayra Llayra is hit in the jaw again for 1 damage (9/12)
21:58 INUH|Tramlaw (Seren is up, I believe.)
Everest|Llayra Seren's turn.
Cygan|Seren Seren advances on the nearest Kobold, preparing to attack it.
21:59 Cygan|Seren (I wanna kill it :3)
Cygan|Seren (So, uh, 1 d8 + 3?)
INUH|Tramlaw (Move over to it first.)
Cygan|Seren (I advanced on it :<)
Everest|Llayra (Yep. 1d8+3)
22:00 Everest|Llayra (Mark your movement on iScribble)
Cygan|Seren (Cool. Oky)
22:08 Cygan|Seren roll. 1d8+3
Cygan|Seren Hmmmm
22:09 Zersk|Felgrove It's .roll
Everest|Llayra The period goes before "roll"
feepbot Zersk|Felgrove: roll - dice rolls. Supported syntax: 8d4k4 + 3L - H < 15 (keep, Low, High).
Cygan|Seren Roll.1d8+3
Cygan|Seren AH
INUH|Tramlaw (The attack roll is 1d20+attack modifier.)
Cygan|Seren Got it :3
Cygan|Seren (Wait, so...
Cygan|Seren (What do I roll -_-)
Everest|Llayra Do you want to use your power attack against it, first of all?)
Cygan|Seren (Damit, too many numbers)
Cygan|Seren No.
Cygan|Seren I don't.
22:10 INUH|Tramlaw (Should be +3, right?)
Everest|Llayra (I think so)
Cygan|Seren (Yeah, +3 strength odifier)
Cygan|Seren mod*
Everest|Llayra (If it's +3 Strength, the total attack roll is +4 because Paladins have a base attack bonus of +1)
22:11 Everest|Llayra (I think your Strength mod was 2, though)
INUH|Tramlaw (It was 2, so it's +3.)
Everest|Llayra (Yeah. Total attack roll is +3)
Cygan|Seren (Ah yeah- it was 3 on y first one, but now it's +3)
Cygan|Seren +2 rather
22:12 Everest|Llayra Okay.
Cygan|Seren so...
Cygan|Seren .roll 1d20+3
feepbot Cygan|Seren: (d20 : 16) + 3: 19
INUH|Tramlaw (I'm guessing that's a hit.)
Everest|Llayra Hells yes.
Cygan|Seren (:3)
Cygan|Seren (Now it's a 1d8?)
Everest|Llayra (1d8+2 now)
22:13 Cygan|Seren .roll 1d8+2
feepbot Cygan|Seren: (d8 : 6) + 2: 8
Cygan|Seren Hehehe
INUH|Tramlaw (Yeah, that thing is so dead)
Everest|Llayra As you bring your longsword down at it, it only has time to cringe before you split its skull!
Cygan|Seren (>=3)
22:17 Everest|Llayra Haisa mvoes into a position near Llayra, ready to strike, should a kobold approach.
22:19 Zersk|Felgrove Felgrove moves forward a bit, holding up his bow.
22:20 Zersk|Felgrove He will attack any Kobold that comes within 20 feet of the others.
22:25 Zersk|Felgrove Felgrove shoots an arrow at the nearest Kobold!
22:26 Zersk|Felgrove .roll d20+2
feepbot Zersk|Felgrove: (d20 : 15) + 2: 17
Everest|Llayra Seventeen hits!
22:27 Cygan|Seren Seventeen hits?
Cygan|Seren Oh mah god
Cygan|Seren That's a lot of hits
Everest|Llayra Pfft.
22:28 Everest|Llayra Ah, English language. Never change.
Zersk|Felgrove .roll d6
feepbot Zersk|Felgrove: d6 : 2
INUH|Tramlaw (If this were on the forum, I would MOFW that English Language bit.)
22:29 Everest|Llayra As Felgrove looses his arrow, it slams into the belly of the nearest kobold, pushing it off of its feet and putting it out cold.
INUH|Tramlaw (I thought they had 3 HP?)
22:30 Everest|Llayra (They had at most three as far as we knew)
INUH|Tramlaw (Ah. Right.)
22:31 INUH|Tramlaw (Right, my turn, isn't it?)
Cygan|Seren (Yeah)
Everest|Llayra (Uh-huh)
22:32 INUH|Tramlaw pulls out his second spear and prepares to hurl it at the third Kobold if it gets near.
INUH|Tramlaw (I can't actually draw it, move and attack all in one turn.)
Everest|Llayra (Nope. Okay, that would make it Llayra's turn)
22:34 Everest|Llayra Llayra, getting antsy, hustles towards the remaining kobols. She can't attack, though.
Everest|Llayra *kobold
22:37 Everest|Llayra Okay, actually, I meant she's charging, since that also allows her to attack.
22:40 Everest|Llayra Attacking with my scimitar. .rolld20+2
feepbot Everest|Llayra: (d20 : 10) + 2: 12
22:41 INUH|Tramlaw (That a hit?)
Everest|Llayra (Nope)
22:43 <- DYRE has disconnected (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
22:45 Everest|Llayra The remaining kobold withdraws from combat, taking a five-foot step and hustling away as a full-round action.
Everest|Llayra The kobold would be 4 squares off the map, but I'm showing what's happening without completely removing it.
22:46 INUH|Tramlaw (Do we let it go or chase after it?)
Cygan|Seren KILL IT
Everest|Llayra (I'd say kill it. Better not to have it reporting to its buddies and all)
22:47 Everest|Llayra (We might do well to have an advantage of surprise)
INUH|Tramlaw (Indeed. Who's next?)
Cygan|Seren Me :3
Everest|Llayra Seren's turn,
Cygan|Seren (But she's too far away.)
INUH|Tramlaw (If it were me, I'd take a run action to move at 5x speed. Takes up the whole turn, though.)
Everest|Llayra It's at x4
22:48 INUH|Tramlaw (Whoops. I need to reread the movement rules.)
Cygan|Seren (Can I run in front of the goblin? It would provoke like, 3 AOOs, but then it wouldn't be able to retreat without provoking one of mine..)
22:49 Everest|Llayra It only get one against you per round.
Everest|Llayra But if so, then yeah, it can attack you.
INUH|Tramlaw (Can't make it that far, though. Just get closer to it.)
Cygan|Seren (Oh. So then,, I could do that?)
22:50 Everest|Llayra Yeah.
Cygan|Seren (Cool.)
Cygan|Seren Seren runs after the goblin.
Cygan|Seren kobold*
Cygan|Seren Goddammit :/
Everest|Llayra (By the way, Haisa can reach it with a charge. Just throwing that out there)
22:51 INUH|Tramlaw (Cool. Haisa should definitely do that, then.)
Everest|Llayra Yep. It's her turn next, too)
Everest|Llayra Once Cygan repositions Seren
22:52 Cygan|Seren Uh
Cygan|Seren How many squares did I move? :/
Everest|Llayra You move up to 16. By the way, here's the rules for diagonal movement: Every other square of diagonal movement counts as 2.
22:53 INUH|Tramlaw I'll mark the closest point you can reach. Hang on.
INUH|Tramlaw There.
Everest|Llayra So, if you're running in a straight diagonal, for example, it'd be: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and so on.
Cygan|Seren So 2 diagonals = 3 ove points, or 4?
Zersk|Felgrove 3
Everest|Llayra 3
Cygan|Seren Okay. Lessee...
23:00 Everest|Llayra Haisa's turn.
Everest|Llayra She charges at the fleeing kobold.
23:01 Everest|Llayra She then attempts to bite it.
Everest|Llayra .roll d20+5
feepbot Everest|Llayra: (d20 : 16) + 5: 21
Everest|Llayra That be a hit!
23:02 Everest|Llayra Now for damage.

feepbot Everest|Llayra: (d6 : 4) + 1: 5
INUH|Tramlaw Da-da-da Daaaaaaa da da da-da-da!
INUH|Tramlaw (Victory music!)
23:03 Everest|Llayra Haisa springs forward at a sprint and lands on the puny kobold's back, then biting deep into its neck!
Everest|Llayra *bites
23:05 INUH|Tramlaw walks over to the Kobold bearing his first spear, removes the weapon, then returns both to his back.
23:09 <- Zersk|Felgrove has disconnected (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
23:18 -> Zersk has joined yackfest-rp
23:29 INUH|Tramlaw (So. Body-looting time?)
23:30 Everest|Llayra (Uh-huh)
INUH|Tramlaw checks the corpse of the one his spear was in.
23:33 Everest|Llayra In addition to the spear and the small-sized leather armor that the kobold was carrying, it is carrying 13 gold pieces.
INUH|Tramlaw "Hey, guys. We've got gold over here. Check the others."
Everest|Llayra moves to the kobold way far out, that her pet wolf killed.
23:34 Zersk "Huh, okay," Felgrove replies. "Seems kind of mean, but okay." Felgrove moves to one of the bodies.
Everest|Llayra This one is also carrying 13 gold pieces in addition to its battle equipment.
Everest|Llayra "Well, we don't want it going to waste, do we?"
Zersk "True..." Felgrove replies.
23:35 INUH|Tramlaw "Let's call this the fine for assault, if that makes you feel better about it."
Everest|Llayra "Tramlaw, how much loot was your kill holding?"
Zersk "Doesn't bother me that much," Felgrove mumbles quietly to himself.
INUH|Tramlaw "13 gold. Yours?"
Everest|Llayra "Same. An allowance, perhaps?"
23:36 INUH|Tramlaw "Makes sense. They're probably soldiers or something, so they all get the same pay."
Everest|Llayra "And since there are four of us, and since we each killed one, we should each get an equal share."
INUH|Tramlaw "That's convenient."
Everest|Llayra (I know, right? :^P)
23:37 INUH|Tramlaw "Well, then, let's go ahead and loot the other two."
Everest|Llayra "'Kay."
23:38 Zersk Felgrove pokes the body pierced by his arrow. "Armor looks sellable, I think."
INUH|Tramlaw "Yeah, but is it worth hauling back to town?"
23:39 Cygan|Seren Seren moved over to the body of the kobold she had killed.
Zersk "Good question!"
Cygan|Seren It ws... distasteful work, looting her dead enemies, but if it supported her on her quest, then she would do it.
23:40 Everest|Llayra "Let's see how much their leather weighs," says Llayra.
23:41 Everest|Llayra As she says that, she removes the armor from the kobold her wolf killed, weighing it in her hands. "I'd say somewhere from 6 to 9 pounds,as an estimate."
INUH|Tramlaw pokes a Kobold in the chest. "Well, not many people can wear leather armor that size, and we've been attacking the previous wearers, which can't help the market value."
23:45 INUH|Tramlaw "Well, at least we're getting something out of this. I'd hate to get attacked for nothing."
Cygan|Seren (The kobolds have both spears and a sling, correct?)
23:46 Everest|Llayra (Yep)
Cygan|Seren (Then shouldn't we loot them, too?)
Cygan|Seren (They've got to be worth something.)
23:47 INUH|Tramlaw (Well, I dunno if slings are worth much, and I'm pretty sure small spears are cheap too.)
Everest|Llayra (Depends on how much all of it weighs).
23:48 Cygan|Seren (Seren can hold a fair bit. Her max heavy load is 200 pounds.)
23:49 Everest|Llayra (Llayra's is 115)
INUH|Tramlaw (Yeah, but then you get encumbrance penalties. I'd say it's more efficient to wait until we find some more valuable loot.)
Everest|Llayra (Haisa's is 150. But I don't wnat to weigh either of my character down too much)
23:51 Cygan|Seren (I was more wondring if INUH could use the Kobold's spears.)
INUH|Tramlaw (Hm. Maybe. They'd be small size.)
INUH|Tramlaw (Would those count as shortspears?)
Everest|Llayra (Might a spear for a kobold translate to a shortspear for Tramlaw?)
23:52 Everest|Llayra (I think so. I fnot, I could just be all "Rule 0, bitch" and say it is)
INUH|Tramlaw (It makes sense. Let's just say it does.)
Everest|Llayra (Sure.)
23:53 Everest|Llayra (LLayra can take any extra sling bullets, too).
Everest|Llayra (I'll say they each had 5 (4 for the ones who fired), for 18 total).
INUH|Tramlaw (Awesome. I'm now equipped with two spears and four shortspears. My character is going to get some weird looks walking down the street.)
Cygan|Seren (Okay. I have the heaviest load, so I'll carry the heaviest stuff.)
Cygan|Seren (But hmmm)
23:54 Everest|Llayra Also, everyone can get 13 more gold pieces, as is fair.
Cygan|Seren (Okay
23:55 INUH|Tramlaw pockets thirteen gold pieces. "This is going pretty well, so far."
23:56 Everest|Llayra "Sure is."
Zersk "Hmm, so this is what Southern currency looks like..." Felgrove puts the money away. "So," he says, "I take it the Kobolds aren't going to be nice to us."
23:57 INUH|Tramlaw "So, do we just keep walking as we were, or should we maybe try tracking them back to where they came from?"
Everest|Llayra "Well, to be blunt, we're not here to be nice. Not necessarily, at least." Llayra shrugs.
Everest|Llayra "Tracking them sounds like a decent plan.
Everest|Llayra *"
Zersk "Yes..."
Cygan|Seren Serena tucked the thirteen gold pieces into her shirt pocket. Frowning, she stood and walked away from the corpse.
INUH|Tramlaw "I can't track, though. Anyone here know how?"
23:58 Everest|Llayra "Haisa can."
Everest|Llayra (I don;t know if that's a trick I'd have to teach her, though)
INUH|Tramlaw "Well, then. Seems we have ourselves a plan."
Everest|Llayra (She has Scent and the Track feat).
Cygan|Seren "That's good," Seren said, relieved. "I don't.
INUH|Tramlaw (I don't think so.)
INUH|Tramlaw (I think a wolf knows how to track.)
23:59 Cygan|Seren (Also, remember- Two of you are injured slightly.)
Everest|Llayra (Definitely. I just wasn't sure if I could have the wolf track on command)
INUH|Tramlaw (Well, just have her smell the armor and assume she can figure it out from there.)
Everest|Llayra (9/12 should be fine for now, in my opinion. That's just me, though)
Cygan|Seren (Seren has 3/4 points in Heal...)
INUH|Tramlaw (I, too, am okay with 9/12. I have a CLW potion if we need it.)
00:00 INUH|Tramlaw (Pretty sure it takes time to recover HP from just the Heal skill.)
Everest|Llayra (I have Cure Light Wounds prepared, too)
Everest|Llayra (Thanks to my Augment Healing feat, it heals for 1d8+3, instead of 1d8+1, too).
Cygan|Seren Hmmmmm
00:01 INUH|Tramlaw (Nice. That's kind of overkill with the current injuries, though.)
Everest|Llayra (Yeah. Good for dire circumstances, though).
Cygan|Seren Scale mail [medium; +4 AC; max dex +3; check penalty -4; 30 lb.]
Cygan|Seren What does ax Dex mean?
00:02 Everest|Llayra That means that, if you have a Dexterity of 4 and are wearing scale, you only get +3 to armor class anyway.
Everest|Llayra Not the full +4
Everest|Llayra Or higher, fo rhtat matter.
Cygan|Seren Light Steel Shield [+1 AC; check penalty -1; hardness 10; hp 10; 6 lb.]
Cygan|Seren The HP?
Cygan|Seren :<
00:03 INUH|Tramlaw (If someone tries to break it.)
Everest|Llayra (I believe that only applies if the enemy is actually, deliberately trying to sunde rit. Correct me if I'm wrong, INUH).
Everest|Llayra *sunder it
INUH|Tramlaw (All objects technically have it, but it's generally not listed.)
Cygan|Seren (Oh, okay.)
00:04 INUH|Tramlaw (Tracking time, then?)
Everest|Llayra (Yep).
Cygan|Seren (Yeah.)
Cygan|Seren (Also, y Heal bonus is 5. Or soething.)
00:05 INUH|Tramlaw (That's good. If anyone gets unconscious, you can probably stabilize them before they bleed out.)
00:06 Cygan|Seren (Cool )

00:27 INUH|Tramlaw follows Haisa.
Everest|Llayra Let's do Spot checks to see how far away the goblins are when we see them.

Cygan|Seren Hehehe
Cygan|Seren Spot/listen checks
Everest|Llayra She alerts the group upon seeing them.
INUH|Tramlaw Tramlaw, meanwhile, walks into a tree or something
Zersk "Hmm, Goblins..."
Everest|Llayra (Basically, I wanted everyone to do one, and then the highest among them is how far away the goblins are when we eventually spot them).
INUH|Tramlaw "Goblins? Where? Oh, there. I knew that."
Zersk "Well, we can actually talk to these guys," Felgrove said.
Everest|Llayra "Well, you guys can."
00:31 Cygan|Seren "Speak for yourself," Seren groused.
INUH|Tramlaw "Well, you can tell us stuff to say if you want."
Zersk "Oh, yeah. Sorry," Felgrove said.
Everest|Llayra "That works."
INUH|Tramlaw "Should I call out to them?"
Everest|Llayra "They're plenty far away. I don't see why we don't have time to think this through."
00:32 Everest|Llayra "We have a few optinos, that's all I'm saying."
INUH|Tramlaw "True. Let's not be hasty after last time."
Everest|Llayra *options
00:33 Everest|Llayra "I don't see the merit of negotiation, since they have numbers on us, in the long run, and will likely not back off from a group as small as ours. But then, it's your call."
00:34 INUH|Tramlaw Hm. Surprise attack, then?"
Everest|Llayra "Sounds good. Hopefully it works."
Cygan|Seren "I have an objection to this plan," Serena spoke up.
00:35 INUH|Tramlaw "You do? What is it?"
Everest|Llayra "Oh, right, yeah. That might not be the best plan for everyone." (Armor penalties, what can ya do? :P)
Everest|Llayra (That's what I'm guessing, anyway)
INUH|Tramlaw (More like alignment.)
00:36 Cygan|Seren "I will not participate in an ambush of any living creature," she declared. "It would dishonour me before my God."
Everest|Llayra (Yeah, I thought of that after posting and looking at OOC)
Everest|Llayra (Well, in any case, her armor would have hindered her ability to sneak about anyway)
INUH|Tramlaw "I see. Well, I feel fairly confident after that last battle. We can take them if they attack. Let's do it your way."
Cygan|Seren (True.)
00:37 Cygan|Seren "Okay," she agreed.
Everest|Llayra "Fair enough."
INUH|Tramlaw "in that case, let's just go ahead and call out to them. I doubt they'll receive us well, but hey."
00:38 Everest|Llayra "Cool. Let's do that."
INUH|Tramlaw "From here, then?"
00:39 Cygan|Seren "That would be the best plan," Seren spoke up.
Cygan|Seren (Since we have an archer, y'know- a ranged advantage.)
INUH|Tramlaw "Well, then."
INUH|Tramlaw speaks Goblin: "Hello!"
Everest|Llayra (And we have a fast wolfie)}

Let's see if that works. I also have the OOC conversation...

Edit: I was a little worried about that.

Nice. I guess that means the fora don't have a post-length limit?

Maybe there's somewhere else I could post that? I'm not quite sure if here is the best idea.

@ Moe: You could probably put it inside a hottip. Also, that's good, because that pretty much covers the entire game from last week.

^ That works. I'll add the OOC discussion too.

[Seren] Oh by the way-
[Seren] massive lag on my end, so...
19:43 INUH|Tramlaw Lag happens. We can deal.
Everest|Llayra Yeah. And is it something that might sort itself out? That might just be it as well.
Everest|Llayra I wouldn't know, though.
19:44 [Seren] I dunno.
[Seren] Just...
[Seren] If I disappear for a while, that's why.

19:55 Zersk|Felgrove I meant how the rest of us are "Name|Charaname"
INUH|Tramlaw I keep having to tell myself not to do that.
MyFireworksDoesYours Happens to me too, Dyre.
Everest|Llayra Well, we have all of the players now. I have my things ready, except for dice in meatspace.
Zersk|Felgrove But you're not!
Seren changes nick to Cygan|Seren
INUH|Tramlaw There we go.
Zersk|Felgrove Need to open a dice-roller.
Zersk|Felgrove Haha!
Zersk|Felgrove Thank you. :3
Cygan|Seren I have one open
DYRE Aren't you guys using that bot?
Meophist Shouldn't the bot be fine for dice rolling?
19:56 Everest|Llayra Does feepbot not work for you two? Ninja'd
Zersk|Felgrove Oh right. >.>
19:57 Everest|Llayra Just need to change into mah jammies. -wink-
Zersk|Felgrove Hehe.
DYRE I've been in my jammies all day! Well different jammies earlier, but jammies nonetheless
INUH|Tramlaw I'm in my jammies
19:58 Cygan|Seren It's midday. I'm not
<- MyFireworksDoesYours has disconnected (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
Zersk|Felgrove It's 4:00 PM for me, I'm not.
INUH|Tramlaw It's 6:58 for me. Normally, it would be 7:58, but I'm at home for the weekend.
Zersk|Felgrove Or almost 5:00
DYRE at 4 pm I was wearing jammies...
Zersk|Felgrove In like two minutes.
19:59 Meophist It's 8PM for me. ??
Everest|Llayra And me.
Cygan|Seren
DYRE AND ME
Meophist That didn't work, at least for my side.
Cygan|Seren ...
Cygan|Seren What a stupid emoticon!
Everest|Llayra :^O
Everest|Llayra Blargharble. That's just as dumb.
20:00 Cygan|Seren Yeah...
Cygan|Seren O:
INUH|Tramlaw Yeah, this place could use better emoticons. Or just text-based ones.
Cygan|Seren Much better.
Everest|Llayra That works too.
Zersk|Felgrove ):B
Cygan|Seren >=P
Zersk|Felgrove O:B
Zersk|Felgrove >:?
Zersk|Felgrove what is that
Zersk|Felgrove some kind of weird buck tooth with a halo?
DYRE >:}
Zersk|Felgrove NO
Zersk|Felgrove IT'S MY HORNS.
INUH|Tramlaw Wow. Just...wow.
Zersk|Felgrove H3H3H3
20:01 Zersk|Felgrove ::::)
Zersk|Felgrove wh8t's wr8ng, IN8H?
Everest|Llayra I have one, but it would be mean . . .
20:02 INUH|Tramlaw Nothing. Just...Homestuck references.
Cygan|Seren Hey guys....
Zersk|Felgrove uHHH,,,
Zersk|Felgrove Yeah?
Zersk|Felgrove It's time?
Zersk|Felgrove It's time!
Cygan|Seren I can create a seperate thread for the D&D game.
Zersk|Felgrove Oh no!
INUH|Tramlaw We starting?
Everest|Llayra It's time!
Zersk|Felgrove What if I still don't know how to play? D:
Cygan|Seren So that we don't fill up the Yackfest RP.
Everest|Llayra @ Cygy: You mean like in the RP subforum?
Cygan|Seren No.
Cygan|Seren I mean
Cygan|Seren A new window here.
Cygan|Seren Like JammiesRP
20:03 Cygan|Seren and JammiesOOC
Zersk|Felgrove But we already have that. :/
INUH|Tramlaw That works.
DYRE name it JammiesIC for consistency
Cygan|Seren We have the OOC.
Zersk|Felgrove Don't we?
Cygan|Seren Okay.
Zersk|Felgrove I mean, I thought we were using the #yackfest-rp
Meophist We won't have the bot if we do that though, right?
Cygan|Seren As I said.
Cygan|Seren Uhhhh
Cygan|Seren Wait a sec
20:04 INUH|Tramlaw Oh. Good point on the bot. Is there any way to summon it?
Everest|Llayra I don't know how. I think GMH would, but he's not here.
Cygan|Seren Damn.
Cygan|Seren I have no clue.
DYRE Just use yackfest-rp then
20:05 INUH|Tramlaw Well, nobody else is on there right now.
DYRE that's what it's there for, no?
Cygan|Seren Damn...
Cygan|Seren Hmmmm
Cygan|Seren Problem is, it's a script program.
Cygan|Seren Not an IRC feature.
Cygan|Seren So... Guess that's out then.
INUH|Tramlaw So it would seem. Oh, well.
20:06 INUH|Tramlaw Starting, then?
Everest|Llayra I guess I'm ready to go. Nervous as hell though.
Cygan|Seren I'm ready.
20:07 Zersk|Felgrove I think I'm ready, I hope. :<
Cygan|Seren But... Us newbies might need to be talked through :/
Zersk|Felgrove I've never played, so I'm a bit nervous.
Everest|Llayra Should we decide how we all met for the quest ahead of time though. And walking you guys through is fine.
Zersk|Felgrove I have the SRD open in another tab.
Cygan|Seren SRD?
INUH|Tramlaw So do I, Zersk.
Zersk|Felgrove http://www.d20srd.org/index.htm
Zersk|Felgrove It has all the rules and stuff for 3.5e
Zersk|Felgrove Well some of them at least.
Cygan|Seren Aaaah.
DYRE except for like, character creation and stuff
Zersk|Felgrove I have no idea what's missing from them, so...
20:08 Zersk|Felgrove Yeah, that.
Everest|Llayra There's some supplementary stuff that--Ninja'd
INUH|Tramlaw Not much. Just trademarks and character creation. Multi-ninja'd but whatever.
Everest|Llayra So, how did we all meet in-character?
Zersk|Felgrove Hm...
Zersk|Felgrove That's a good question. =/
INUH|Tramlaw I dunno. My character was kind of wandering around town looking nervous because he's never left his village before and can't go back.
20:09 Cygan|Seren y character was just kinda lost.
Cygan|Seren So...
Everest|Llayra Mine is just looking for something interesting. How about this:
Meophist https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAllMeetInAnInn ?
Cygan|Seren They might have met up together?
Cygan|Seren >=(
Cygan|Seren shoots Meophist
Meophist Sorry
Cygan|Seren Just kidding ^_^
20:10 Everest|Llayra How about: We are in the forest/plantation town of Ruthsford, for whatever reason, and word has gotten around that some monsters are in teh forest.
Cygan|Seren Go on.
INUH|Tramlaw With you so far.
Zersk|Felgrove Keep going...
Everest|Llayra It's been rumored that kobolds, goblinoids, and orcs are all engaged in a turf war, since the forest around Ruthsford is huge.
20:11 Everest|Llayra Ruthsford is not actually within the town, but no one in their right minds wishes to enter the forest with battles going on.
Zersk|Felgrove Okay...
Everest|Llayra This is a problem, because there is a wonder drug, Somnathium, that can't be harvested with the monsters fighting and whatnot.
Everest|Llayra Ruthsford's main export is this drug.
INUH|Tramlaw Gotcha.
20:12 Zersk|Felgrove Interesting...
INUH|Tramlaw So then how do we meet?
Everest|Llayra We all happened to have traveled to the town, and we got word of this forest-war.
Cygan|Seren Death to the goblins!
Zersk|Felgrove D:
Everest|Llayra The town wants people brave enough to go in and get rid of all the monsters.
20:13 Zersk|Felgrove I have some friends who are goblins, Cygy!
Cygan|Seren :<
Zersk|Felgrove Don't be speiciesist!
Cygan|Seren Sorryz :<
Cygan|Seren huggles
Everest|Llayra We don't necessarily have to kill them. Heck, a diplomatic solution is always a possible option. Just throwing that out there.
Zersk|Felgrove It's okay. Huggles
INUH|Tramlaw Unexpected diplomacy is always fun.
Cygan|Seren Okay.
Zersk|Felgrove Oh I know that Evvy.
Everest|Llayra But in any case, Ruthsforders want the monsters gone.
Zersk|Felgrove I was thinking of that myself.
Cygan|Seren We'll leave the goblins alone. No, wait-
Cygan|Seren we'll teamm up with the goblins against the orcs!
Everest|Llayra Not likely, though, since they have numbers and see just a bunch of funny-looking people.
20:14 Everest|Llayra All of them, in this case.
INUH|Tramlaw And screw the kobolds. Seriously, little annoying assholes.
Cygan|Seren Goddamit
Everest|Llayra D: I love kobolds!
Zersk|Felgrove Well, we'll see.
Cygan|Seren Fuckin' kobolds, how do they work?
Zersk|Felgrove Kobolds are kewl.
Zersk|Felgrove In any case.
Zersk|Felgrove I think I have an idea for my backstory now.
20:15 INUH|Tramlaw Ooh, what is it?
Zersk|Felgrove Well...
-> funnyguts has joined jammiesOOC
funnyguts Hello!
INUH|Tramlaw Hello.
Zersk|Felgrove My character comes from the northern empire of Elves, an Imperialistic State.
Zersk|Felgrove Hey there!
Zersk|Felgrove :3
Zersk|Felgrove Anyway, he escapes as an emigrant
Everest|Llayra http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/eo_kobold_med.jpg
20:16 Everest|Llayra Crap. How do I enlarge that?
Zersk|Felgrove Moving into the freer states of the south.
INUH|Tramlaw Ooh, how did you do that?
Everest|Llayra Go on, Zersky.
Everest|Llayra @ INUH: Me, or Zersky?
Zersk|Felgrove Well, that's it right now. :/
INUH|Tramlaw @Everest:You.
Everest|Llayra Oh, okay. Well, when you have it done, run it by me! @ INUH: I copied the image location and posted it.
INUH|Tramlaw @Zersk:Well, it works for the moment. My backstory isn't that complex.
20:17 Zersk|Felgrove An emmigrant from an Imperialist state.
INUH|Tramlaw @Everest: Oh. I see.
Zersk|Felgrove It's kind of funny.
Everest|Llayra Oh, that's it. Click on the image, and an enlarged version will appear.
Zersk|Felgrove I like the idea of Gearhead elves.
Zersk|Felgrove The opposite of the usual image of them.
INUH|Tramlaw Nice. Maybe I should start using IRC occasionally.
Everest|Llayra I've debated using it, but I haven't done so.
20:18 Everest|Llayra Except for Funnybunny's D&D game.
funnyguts Are you using iScribble too?
INUH|Tramlaw We are.
Everest|Llayra Yep.
funnyguts Okay.
funnyguts Also, how do I change my text color?
Zersk|Felgrove The colours at the bottom.
Zersk|Felgrove Wait.
20:19 Everest|Llayra Did everyone see the kobold picture? I feel it would be better if everyone knew what was being talked about.
Zersk|Felgrove Which thing are you using?
Zersk|Felgrove Evvy: Yah.
Everest|Llayra I'll have goblins and orcs up soon.
INUH|Tramlaw I saw it.
funnyguts I'm using Xchat...
Cygan|Seren I did
Cygan|Seren They're cool :3
Everest|Llayra Now for goblins: http://vnmedia.ign.com/nwvault.ign.com/NWN2/creatures/MM35_PG133.jpg
Cygan|Seren No, kobolds were cooler :3
INUH|Tramlaw I guess my character, being raised in an isolated community, would never have seen a Kobold, Goblin or Orc.
20:20 Cygan|Seren Awww manÞ :<
Everest|Llayra Makes sense. My character only knows what orcs look like.
Cygan|Seren I picked a really sucky time to start reading Goblins >.<
Zersk|Felgrove My character knows Goblin, so he'd know Goblin.
Zersk|Felgrove Goblins.
Cygan|Seren Mine might have seen Kobolds an Goblins, but not Orcs.
Everest|Llayra And now for Orcs: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20050720201220/polaqu/images/thumb/d/d8/Orc.jpg/225px-Orc.jpg
Zersk|Felgrove Wait.
20:21 INUH|Tramlaw Wait, my character knows Goblin too. I guess he'd know what a goblin is.
Zersk|Felgrove Heh.
Zersk|Felgrove So the Orcs here are like da Orks?
Cygan|Seren My character speaks elf :3
Zersk|Felgrove Or the Orcs from WoW?
funnyguts
funnyguts Test
Zersk|Felgrove Cygy: My character is an elf!
funnyguts dang...
INUH|Tramlaw Think more Tolkien orcs.
Zersk|Felgrove Oh.
Zersk|Felgrove Okay.
20:22 funnyguts Test?
INUH|Tramlaw Right, then. So they're fighting in the forest.
INUH|Tramlaw Oh, god, that green. My eyes.
funnyguts sorry.
Cygan|Seren
Cygan|Seren Hehehe
Zersk|Felgrove Okay!
Zersk|Felgrove Shall we start?
20:23 INUH|Tramlaw Sounds good.
Everest|Llayra Yep.
Cygan|Seren kay.
Zersk|Felgrove Mhm
Zersk|Felgrove Yep
Zersk|Felgrove Yup yup.
Zersk|Felgrove Uhuh.
INUH|Tramlaw Yup yup yup?
Cygan|Seren Yip yip
Zersk|Felgrove >:P
Zersk|Felgrove Cygan: There's no Appa here!
Cygan|Seren >=P
funnyguts Ugh, memories of Land Before Time...
Cygan|Seren Hehehehe
20:24 Meophist watches
20:25 Cygan|Seren Hmmmmmm
DYRE watches EVEN MORE
funnyguts Are you guys using a different iScribble room?
Everest|Llayra Yeah. I can invite you.
Everest|Llayra Funnyguys invited.
funnyguts Thanks.
20:27 Cygan|Seren Seren doesn't use contractions >.<
funnyguts Seren is a robot!
20:28 Everest|Llayra Okay. That's fine.
20:29 funnyguts Zersk, are you an elf or a half elf?
Zersk|Felgrove Elf.
20:30 Meophist For actions, you guys might be able to make use of the "/me" command.
funnyguts Okay. I'm not used to elves with facial hair.
Zersk|Felgrove Hehe.
funnyguts I know that elves don't have body hair...
20:31 Zersk|Felgrove Well, in this case they do.
funnyguts I suspect that your parentage might not be what you expect it is.
20:32 Zersk|Felgrove Nah, he's an elf.
Zersk|Felgrove An elfy elf that elfs.
funnyguts eeew
Zersk|Felgrove It's not that bad.
Zersk|Felgrove Elfing is just pricking your ears!
20:33 funnyguts Okay.
Zersk|Felgrove I guess that elves in this setting aren't completely hairless, then.
Zersk|Felgrove Plus.
20:34 Zersk|Felgrove He's from the north and stuff.
funnyguts Ah. Northern elves. I've heard so many stories about them...
funnyguts test
20:35 funnyguts Is my text in a different color yet?
INUH|Tramlaw Nope.
20:36 funnyguts alright, never mind.
20:37 funnyguts If you guys want, I can get my books and look up rules if you need it. It might make things a touch faster...
Meophist Coloured text requires control characters, which is why it's usually built-in into the client software. That said, my browser lacks that functionality.
Zersk|Felgrove Even in fantasy, I'm the weakest.
20:38 INUH|Tramlaw I'm using the SRD for the rules. Also have a perfectly legal PDF of the PHB.
funnyguts Okay!
funnyguts Zersk: you're a bard?
20:39 Meophist @Zersk: you've got 4 strength, right?
Zersk|Felgrove Meo: Yah.
Zersk|Felgrove Wait, 6.
Zersk|Felgrove Funny: Yah.
20:40 funnyguts Oh, wow. Cast spells and rest a lot. That's my advice to you. Also, find a rapier, you can use your DEX modifier to hit rather than your STR modifier.
Zersk|Felgrove I have a rapier, yah.
20:41 funnyguts Okay, then you should get your DEX bonus rather than a STR penalty...
20:42 Zersk|Felgrove Yah?
20:43 funnyguts Oh, you have to have Weapon Finesse to do that...
Everest|Llayra He needs Weapon FInesse for --Ninja'd
Zersk|Felgrove Yeah, I still have to get that.
INUH|Tramlaw Definitely take that at first opportunity.
Cygan|Seren What's my hit, Everest?
Everest|Llayra (You mean Armor Class? I tihnk it's 16)
20:44 Cygan|Seren No, my damage I can do. I have 1d8 longsword, but...
Everest|Llayra Your Strength modifier is +2, right?
INUH|Tramlaw Should be 1d8+2 unless you use power attack.
Cygan|Seren Okay.
20:45 Everest|Llayra In which case 1d8+3, but only a +2 to-hit.
Cygan|Seren I think I hav Smite Evil, too.
Everest|Llayra As oppose dto +3
Meophist I got onto iScribble as guest6405...
INUH|Tramlaw Not +4? Weapon focus?
Everest|Llayra She didn't take that.
INUH|Tramlaw Oh, right.
20:46 Everest|Llayra Anywho, are we ready to return to the game, now that we have a marching order?
Zersk|Felgrove Syoor.
INUH|Tramlaw Yep.
20:48 Cygan|Seren Yeah
20:55 Cygan|Seren Sorry for AFK for a bit, I'm running back and forth between my laptop for lunch.
Zersk|Felgrove S'okay.
20:56 Cygan|Seren (I have a Diplomacy bonus, just so everybody remembers)
Zersk|Felgrove Crap, does anyone speak Draconic?
20:57 Cygan|Seren Nope :<
Cygan|Seren Although if it coes to it,
Cygan|Seren I have an Intimmidate bonus too.
20:58 INUH|Tramlaw I don't. Kobolds apparently have undercommon as a bonus language, but they're too dumb to learn it.
funnyguts Looks like it's kobold stabbing time.
Zersk|Felgrove Depends.
Zersk|Felgrove Are the Kobolds smart enough to know undercommon.
INUH|Tramlaw They're pretty dumb.
20:59 Zersk|Felgrove Oh. :/
Zersk|Felgrove Dammit, there's gotta be one of them that's smart enough.
funnyguts Kobolds really are pretty dumb...
Everest|Llayra Technically, they have average Intelligence.
21:00 Everest|Llayra But what do I know?
Zersk|Felgrove Hehe.
Cygan|Seren Not much.
INUH|Tramlaw Really? That seems odd. But it's still not enough for bonus languages.
Cygan|Seren Your Intelligence stat is too low.
Cygan|Seren >.>
funnyguts True...
Everest|Llayra >:O I has the Monster Manual right here!
Cygan|Seren Hehehe
21:08 funnyguts Oh, iScribble maps...
Zersk|Felgrove Yarp!
21:17 funnyguts Someday I'll figure out how to start a server with Maptools...
funnyguts someday...
INUH|Tramlaw That would be awesome.
21:21 Cygan|Seren Oh, yeah, that;ll work.
Cygan|Seren Sure.
Cygan|Seren Just wave at them, with your sword and shield out...
Cygan|Seren Yeah.
INUH|Tramlaw Yeah, I'm not too confident about peaceful contact with these guys.
21:22 Cygan|Seren Diplomacy bonuses ain't worth shit >.<
Everest|Llayra Not this time. Might work better with goblins.
21:23 Zersk|Felgrove Cygy: Where's your d20 now?
21:26 funnyguts They aren't hostile yet, so getting them from unfriendly to neutral shouldn't be too hard.
funnyguts Then again, you could insult them..
21:27 Zersk|Felgrove What dice do you use for initiative?
Everest|Llayra d20.
Zersk|Felgrove Kay!
21:28 INUH|Tramlaw You use d20 for basically anything that you're going to compare to other numbers.
Zersk|Felgrove Okay.
21:29 funnyguts Felgrove botched his initiative check.
21:30 Zersk|Felgrove Friggin restart button, how does it work?
21:31 Zersk|Felgrove No pressure, INUH.
21:32 Cygan|Seren Hmmm
Cygan|Seren Do I roll n Intimidate check at the start of my turn?
21:33 Everest|Llayra You can try. I don't know the specifics. I'd have to look.
Everest|Llayra Looked it up. You can try if you wish.
21:34 Cygan|Seren Cool.
21:35 Cygan|Seren Intimidate is a standard action.
Cygan|Seren What size category a I, compard to the Kobolds?
Cygan|Seren am*
21:36 funnyguts You're a human, yes?
INUH|Tramlaw You're medium, they're small. So that's one category larger.
Everest|Llayra You're Medium, and they're small. That has no bearing on Intimidate checks, I don't think.
21:37 Cygan|Seren Yes, it does.
Cygan|Seren I gain a +4 bonus for every size category I have over them.
INUH|Tramlaw Cool. Go, SRD!
Cygan|Seren You gain a +4 bonus on your Intimidate check for every size category that you are larger than your target. Conversely, you take a -4 penalty on your Intimidate check for every size category that you are smaller than your target.
Cygan|Seren Yeah :3
Everest|Llayra Oh. Cool. That works.
21:38 Cygan|Seren HeheheÞ
Cygan|Seren :3
Zersk|Felgrove So if you try to intimidate on of those big Godzilla things...
Cygan|Seren Varies. Changing another’s behavior requires 1 minute of interaction. Intimidating an opponent in combat is a standard action.
Zersk|Felgrove What're they called?
Cygan|Seren Dammit
Everest|Llayra Kobolds.
Zersk|Felgrove No, not those.
Cygan|Seren 1 minute of interaction = 10 rounds or something, doesn't it...
Zersk|Felgrove Those huge ones.
Cygan|Seren Orcs?
funnyguts Dragons?
Zersk|Felgrove Not dragons...
Zersk|Felgrove Grah, it looked like a four-legged godzilla thing.
21:39 Everest|Llayra Tarrasque?
INUH|Tramlaw Tarrasque?
Zersk|Felgrove Yah!
INUH|Tramlaw Rofl.
Zersk|Felgrove That's it!
Everest|Llayra Heh heh. Good luck with that.
funnyguts Cygan: Demoralize Opponent the combat version of intimidate.
funnyguts It lasts for one round.
Zersk|Felgrove So if you're trying to intimidate a Tarrasque and you're a pixie, what happens if you get a natural 20?
INUH|Tramlaw Pretty sure it's not even capable of being afraid. You'd have to be a serious badass.
Everest|Llayra Natural 20's aren't auto-successes on skill and ability checks.
Zersk|Felgrove Yeah, that's what I though. :/
21:40 Cygan|Seren No, but damn they help.
INUH|Tramlaw They are on some skill checks, aren't they? Like climb or swim or something?
Everest|Llayra That only applies to attack rolls and saving throws. And I think some climb and swim checks would still be too much.
Cygan|Seren Ah.
Cygan|Seren Excellent :3
INUH|Tramlaw Huh. Didn't realize that. Guess my group was houseruling.
21:41 funnyguts Also, you can only intimidate an enemy that you threaten with a meele attack...
Cygan|Seren Lucky I'm a melee then! :3
funnyguts Right, but you have to be next to the kobold to try it.
Cygan|Seren I have a natural 3.5 bonus on my intimidate check, though.
21:42 Cygan|Seren So that's like, a 7.5 bonus.
funnyguts wait, .5?
INUH|Tramlaw I think you drop decimals in skill checks...
Cygan|Seren But I dun wanna :<
Cygan|Seren Yeah, .5.
Everest|Llayra Decimals always round down in D&D.
Cygan|Seren Dunno where it came from, but I have it.
21:44 Zersk|Felgrove Overkill?
Zersk|Felgrove You know what that means!
-> Chagen has joined jammiesOOC
21:45 Zersk|Felgrove It means Chunky Salsa!
funnyguts What does it mean?
funnyguts Ah.
INUH|Tramlaw Chunky salsa from a spear? Impressive.
21:46 Chagen What's this about Chunky Salsa?
Zersk|Felgrove The Kobold explodes in a glorious mexican explosion of spices and tomatoes!
INUH|Tramlaw TV Tropes will tell you, under Chunky Salsa Rule.
INUH|Tramlaw So. First kill. Yay.
21:47 Everest|Llayra Yup. Next kobold.
21:50 Chagen Yeah. I know about The Chunky Salsa Rule. I plan on causing it much as possible in my Exalted campaign.
21:51 INUH|Tramlaw Perfect Defense takes priority over Chunky Salsa, I believe.
21:52 Chagen Are you talking about Exalted or D&D?
INUH|Tramlaw Exalted. I wish D&D had perfect defenses.
funnyguts Everest just rolled two 20s...
21:53 INUH|Tramlaw Yeah. His dice are evil.
21:54 Chagen Really, INUH? Because I want to get so powerful in Exalted that I can punch people and make them explode into a shower of blood and gore that flies ridiculously far.
Cygan|Seren ...
INUH|Tramlaw That's also fun.
21:55 Cygan|Seren If I roll an Intimidate check, can I still attack that round?
INUH|Tramlaw If it's a standard action, I don't think so.
Chagen And then the gore hits other people and makes them explode so that you basically have a giant organic cluster bomb. Man, that made me friggin' laugh out loud when I wrote that...
INUH|Tramlaw Exalted is like that.
21:56 Cygan|Seren Dammit >.<
Everest|Llayra Gaiz, I just rolled another twenty.
INUH|Tramlaw Switch dice, plz.
funnyguts The Kobold God will rule all!
Meophist It's not a dice with all twenties, is it?
Everest|Llayra The random number god hates jammies.
21:57 Everest|Llayra I've switched dice.
INUH|Tramlaw Did you leave it sitting out with the 20 up? That can lead to weighting.
Chagen I need to buy some dice in real life. My friends got a few custom hand-carved ones that look REALLY badass.
Everest|Llayra It was in a bag, not on a flat surface.
21:58 funnyguts Llayara has lost a tooth!
Everest|Llayra Possibly.
INUH|Tramlaw Yeah, I love the really high-quality ones, but I never feel like I have the money for them.
21:59 Everest|Llayra Oddly enough, the evil d20 I was using came with a Magic: The Gathering set of some sort.
Everest|Llayra It's much larger than usual, and the 20 is "M11"
Zersk|Felgrove How do you read a d20, anyhow?
INUH|Tramlaw I have a huge d20 that has never rolled above an 8. No joke.
22:00 INUH|Tramlaw @Zersk:They just have numbers.
Zersk|Felgrove Doesn't it have a lot of sides?
funnyguts Zersk: The same way you read any other die.
funnyguts Whatever number is on the very top.
Meophist Except a d4, those work differently
Zersk|Felgrove Oh, okay.
Zersk|Felgrove Yeah, I've seen those caltrops. :/
Chagen My friend said he's seen a picture of a d4,000,000,000,000,000,000. Not joking.
Zersk|Felgrove Chagy: Pfft.
Everest|Llayra I'd like to see that.
Chagen He's also heard of a guy trying to make a d2
funnyguts Cygan, you know the difference between an attack roll and a damage roll, right?
22:01 INUH|Tramlaw @Chagen: Oh, yeah, I've seen some pretty large-number dice. Not one that large, though.
Everest|Llayra Isn't a d2 just a coin?
INUH|Tramlaw It is, but with numbers on it.
Zersk|Felgrove How...
Everest|Llayra Yeah.
Zersk|Felgrove Connish.
Cygan|Seren Frickin iScribble
Cygan|Seren How does it work
Zersk|Felgrove -Snicker-
Chagen What the hell is iScribble anyway?
Zersk|Felgrove Use the layers!
Zersk|Felgrove iScribble is a website thing
22:02 Zersk|Felgrove That lets you draw with other people online.
INUH|Tramlaw Over on the right, switch to layer 3. That's where characters are.
funnyguts Cygan, you might want to be careful with where you move, you may have provoked an attack of opportunity.
Cygan|Seren Pffft
Cygan|Seren I dunt even know what that is >.>
Everest|Llayra I think she did. You can mvoe 1 less forward though.
22:03 Chagen Damn, you guys are making me want to roll up a character.
Chagen But I've never played D&D before...
Everest|Llayra Attack of opportunity = your opponent gets an attack against you during your turn because you created an opening.
Cygan|Seren Neither have I, Chagen >.>
Cygan|Seren Oooooh
Cygan|Seren Okay
Everest|Llayra Neither has Zersk.
INUH|Tramlaw If you move out of a square an enemy threatens, it gets an attack of opportunity.
Zersk|Felgrove Hehe.
Cygan|Seren I'm fine with that, as long as I still get to attack.
funnyguts Okay, any area surrounding an enemy with a melee weapon is a threatened area. If you move into it, you're fine, but if you move out of a threatened spot, even into another threatened spot, you can get attacked.
Everest|Llayra Yeah, that was it.
22:04 Cygan|Seren ...
INUH|Tramlaw But if you move into the space diagonal from it, it doesn't get the attack.
Cygan|Seren So did I provoke one?
INUH|Tramlaw And you can still attack.
funnyguts You'll learn, promise.
Chagen But I like obsessively reading the rulebooks to RPG's before I play them. I need to write Full Auto soon...
INUH|Tramlaw You don't have to provoke one if you change your move.
22:05 funnyguts Everest doesn't seem to be calling you out on it yet, so don't worry...
Everest|Llayra Want me to show you, Cygy?
Everest|Llayra No, I noticed back up there.
Cygan|Seren But I didn't move OUT, I moved IN. Uh.... Now I' confused.
INUH|Tramlaw You can attack diagonally.
INUH|Tramlaw As can the Kobolds.
Everest|Llayra The first square you moved into was fine. The second one you moved into is what would provoke the attack.
22:06 Everest|Llayra I can show you the safe position I'm talking about.
Cygan|Seren Ah.
Everest|Llayra There it is, with an asterisk.
22:07 Cygan|Seren Okay, I understand what's happening now.
Everest|Llayra Cool.
Cygan|Seren He would have attacked me as I mmoved from disagonal next to him to straight next to him.
INUH|Tramlaw Precisely.
Everest|Llayra Yep.
Cygan|Seren Okay.
Cygan|Seren Diagonal attacks work >.>
22:08 Everest|Llayra Now you can make your attack eoll.
Everest|Llayra *roll
funnyguts Yep. You can move and attack in all eight directions.
Cygan|Seren Okay. rolls around
funnyguts booooo
Everest|Llayra
Everest|Llayra :^P
Everest|Llayra (Hate IRC's emoticons)
22:09 Meophist IRC doesn't actually have support for emoticons, it's all in the client.
funnyguts Cygan, you did your damage roll, not your attack roll.
INUH|Tramlaw They are pretty bad.
22:10 Meophist I kinda want to get some D&D books now though...
22:11 INUH|Tramlaw Well, the 3.5 stuff is out of print.
INUH|Tramlaw And my 3.5 PHB got stolen, so I have to use a perfectly legal PDF.
22:12 funnyguts Yeah. I have 3.0 books, but I use 3.5 pdfs...
Everest|Llayra The only 3.5 book I have in print is the Monster Manual.
Everest|Llayra I have a shit-ton of PDFs though.
funnyguts Now Cygan's got it!
22:13 Meophist I'll probably just go for 4 actually.
Zersk|Felgrove I think Cygan turned the Kobold into lizard pudding.
INUH|Tramlaw I'm not a fan of 4. Too simplified and samey.
funnyguts Cygan doesn't even have to roll, he does a minimum of 3 damage...
22:14 Zersk|Felgrove The Kobold instantly liquified into a tasty afternoon treat that we all then ate!
Everest|Llayra Ah. that's true, Funnybunny.
INUH|Tramlaw Hell yes. Second kill of the game.
Cygan|Seren Hehehe :3
funnyguts I haven't tried 4. I'd probably rework it into a bit of a merge between it and 3.5...
Meophist In games, I tend to think that simpler is better, generally speaking.
Cygan|Seren But I wnna see how hard I hit it!
Cygan|Seren Also:
INUH|Tramlaw @funnyguts for that, you want Pathfinder RPG. It's good.
Cygan|Seren -_- @ funnyguts
22:15 funnyguts What did I do, Cyg?
Everest|Llayra That kobold is toast. Now it's Haisa's turn.
Cygan|Seren Cygan doesn't even have to roll, he does a minimum of 3 damage...
INUH|Tramlaw @Meophist:Yeah, but I get the impression that the classes are not all that different.
Cygan|Seren he
Cygan|Seren -_-
funnyguts oh
funnyguts sorry
Cygan|Seren No worries.
funnyguts you can call me the wrong pronoun if you like too
Cygan|Seren Just telling you, 'coz you might not know.
funnyguts I did know, I just forgot.
Cygan|Seren Okay :3
22:16 Meophist @INUH: Well, whatever. I think it'll make a decent base for any RPG I try to come up with.
funnyguts Has anyone tried Essentials?
Everest|Llayra I really dislike the look of Essentials.
Everest|Llayra I liedk 4E, though.
Everest|Llayra Wow, typo.
22:17 Zersk|Felgrove I don't care much about the editions, so...
INUH|Tramlaw @Meophist:Yeah, it's not bad, just not to my taste. I loved Star Wars RPG Saga Edition, which was the 4E prototype.
funnyguts Okay.
Zersk|Felgrove Whatever one works!
Zersk|Felgrove I wonder how the ADnD players feel about all the other editions.
Meophist I don't plan on having classes anyhow.
funnyguts My parents have some old AD&D books lying around. If you guys ever want to know what it was like in the dark days...
22:18 INUH|Tramlaw @funnyguts:I actually have a Greyhawk box set.
Zersk|Felgrove Does it actually have -4 Strength penalty for women? o.o
funnyguts Back when you had to roll 3d6 and go down the line of attributes, which determined your class without your say...
Everest|Llayra Pffffffffffffffffffffftttttttt----
Everest|Llayra @ -4 for women.
Everest|Llayra Felgrove's turn, by the way.
Zersk|Felgrove Oh.
22:19 Zersk|Felgrove Yeah.
INUH|Tramlaw Well, maybe -4 seemed bad in the days before FATAL.
funnyguts Zersk: Well, I think it says that women have a max STR of 16. They can't go higher.
Meophist Speaking of which, I've read FATAL, but don't really want to use that as a basis.
22:20 funnyguts I do remember that there's no stat where women can be higher than men.
INUH|Tramlaw I, too, have read FATAL. I actually managed to generate a workable character, too.
Everest|Llayra Pfffffffffttttttttt--- (What, in AD&D?)
Everest|Llayra (That's probably FATAL, though)
Zersk|Felgrove Hm...
funnyguts I'll go get the book and find out.
22:21 Zersk|Felgrove I remember there was a picture of a really muscular woman holding some weights with the caption "-4 Strength" under her.
Zersk|Felgrove Well, not really muscular.
Everest|Llayra By the way, Zersky, keep in mind that, from your position, any kobold you fire at that approaches has cover granted by your allies.
INUH|Tramlaw Wait, is it my turn again?
Zersk|Felgrove But pretty muscular.
Zersk|Felgrove Oh.
Zersk|Felgrove Uh..
Zersk|Felgrove Shoot the arrow upwards, remember?
Cygan|Seren There's a gap, actually.
Zersk|Felgrove Arrows don't fly in a straight line!
INUH|Tramlaw I don't think it works that way.
Cygan|Seren If a Kobold oes through there.
INUH|Tramlaw Not in-game, at least.
22:22 Everest|Llayra It depends on the position.
Cygan|Seren And, uh, no.
Cygan|Seren If you shot an arrow up,
Zersk|Felgrove ._.;;
Cygan|Seren you'd have to be ''damned'' skilled to make it land in the same hundred yards as you.
Zersk|Felgrove True...
INUH|Tramlaw You could move into the gap and manage it.
Zersk|Felgrove Okay, I'll move him one more square.
22:23 Zersk|Felgrove Or two.
funnyguts Okay, got the book.
Everest|Llayra One or two sounds good. Probably two.
INUH|Tramlaw There. That works. Are you going to go ahead and shoot?
Zersk|Felgrove Syoor!
Everest|Llayra Yeah, that'll work without anyone granting cover.
Zersk|Felgrove 3d6+2, right?
22:24 Everest|Llayra Oh yeah. I forgot to ask about that: it's not 2d6. I don't even know how you got that. And you have to roll your attack roll first.
Everest|Llayra *3d6
Cygan|Seren Hey gaiz guess what
Zersk|Felgrove Oh, okay.
INUH|Tramlaw What?
Zersk|Felgrove So a d20 for the attack, right?
Cygan|Seren I can make 2 attacks in 1 turn apparently :3
funnyguts Okay, apparently the STR cap applies to elven, gnome, half-elven, and halfling women.
Cygan|Seren One with my sword
22:25 Cygan|Seren one with my shield :3
INUH|Tramlaw Ah, right. Shield bash.
funnyguts Plus DEX modifier.
Cygan|Seren Yeah :3
Zersk|Felgrove +2 then!
Zersk|Felgrove Okay!
Everest|Llayra @ Zersk: Right. @Cygan: How do attack penalties work with shield bashing?
funnyguts And your BAB.
Zersk|Felgrove Which is zero.
Cygan|Seren ou suffer a -6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary hand and a -10 penalty to the attack with your off hand when you fight this way. You can reduce these penalties in two ways:
22:26 Everest|Llayra The total attack roll for Felgrove's bow is +2.
Cygan|Seren So... yeah -_-
INUH|Tramlaw Not worth it just yet. Maybe take some sort of feat that'll balance it out later.
INUH|Tramlaw There are a few, I believe.
Everest|Llayra I thought as much, for the shield bash. I just didn't know, since that's different from normal multiattacking in a way.
Cygan|Seren I know.
Zersk|Felgrove Ooh, seventeen!
Everest|Llayra I'm aware of the p[enalties for attacking like that without proper feats.
Cygan|Seren The Two-Weapon Fighting feat lessens the primary hand penalty by 2, and the off-hand penalty by 6.
Zersk|Felgrove That means I hit, right?
Cygan|Seren I'm going for that :3
Cygan|Seren When I can.
funnyguts uh, is Feepbot not responding?
Chagen Damn, Zersk, you pwned the hell out of that thing...
22:27 Zersk|Felgrove Hehe. :3
Zersk|Felgrove And now a d8?
INUH|Tramlaw @funnyguts:Yes, it is.
Everest|Llayra Is it a longbow or a shortbow?
INUH|Tramlaw @Zersk:Yes.
INUH|Tramlaw I think.
Zersk|Felgrove Shortbow.
Everest|Llayra Okay, so it's a d6.
Zersk|Felgrove Plus my dex or str?
INUH|Tramlaw Right. D6.
funnyguts Aaa! I just got twenty messages at once..
22:28 INUH|Tramlaw And I don't think there's a damage bonus for bows...
Everest|Llayra You don't add either of those to the damage rolls for bows.
Zersk|Felgrove Oh, okay.
Everest|Llayra Thrown weapons get Strength. Projcetiles get neither.
Zersk|Felgrove Two.
Zersk|Felgrove -.-
funnyguts It struggles to live!
funnyguts The kobolds will never die!
22:29 Zersk|Felgrove WE SHALL NOT PERISH!!!!!
Zersk|Felgrove WE SHALL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT!!!!
funnyguts Oh.
funnyguts I guess they had 2 hp.
Everest|Llayra Either two or 1.
22:30 Chagen ONE Hp? Jesus, D&D has low HP totals...
funnyguts Well, these are level 1 creatures.
INUH|Tramlaw At first level.
Zersk|Felgrove I think they go up at higher levels.
Everest|Llayra The tarrasque has an average of 858 HP.
INUH|Tramlaw They actually get pretty ridiculous at higher levels.
INUH|Tramlaw ^^Like that.
22:31 INUH|Tramlaw I think I've seen higher, too.
Everest|Llayra And it makes sense, in a way. Certain people just can't take a hit.
Everest|Llayra Oh, I'm sure. Heck, the Tarrasque can technically roll into the thousands. 858 is just an average.
Everest|Llayra *A thousand
22:32 Cygan|Seren ;<
INUH|Tramlaw Well, there's only one, so average is going to be the right number, I guess.
Zersk|Felgrove So if you threw animus in there, you could be like:
22:33 Zersk|Felgrove Everest! What does the dice say about it's Hit Dice level?
Everest|Llayra ^^^ I would roll for it on the spot. All 48 hit dice.
Zersk|Felgrove And he'd be like
Zersk|Felgrove 1006.
22:34 Zersk|Felgrove Or >9000, if you like.
22:35 Zersk|Felgrove Ko-balls?
Cygan|Seren Will I be able to advance to the kobolds and still attack?
Everest|Llayra Eh. I've never been too fond of the OVER 9000 meme. ^^ -snrk-
Everest|Llayra ^^ Depends on how far you move. In this case, nope.
INUH|Tramlaw You can move 4 squares with your armor.
funnyguts Cygan: I see no reason why you couldn't.
Cygan|Seren Hmmm... BUT they still have to move first, don't they?
22:36 Everest|Llayra Hustling allows another move action, but not another standard action. Or at least, that's what another DM told me, and it makes sense.
funnyguts Oh, your armor is slowing your down.
Everest|Llayra (Hustling = x2 normal speed) ^ Yeah
funnyguts You could charge, though.
Everest|Llayra Oh crap. That means I could've done that too, couldn't I?
Everest|Llayra I'll check charging.
INUH|Tramlaw @Everest:I thought Hustling was just the term for standard combat move speed and moving twice was just a double move.
22:37 Everest|Llayra Nah. Walking = normal. Hustling = x2. Run = x3 or 4, depending.
Everest|Llayra Double move applies to 4th Edition, though.
INUH|Tramlaw Though I guess that's just terminology. The result is the same.
INUH|Tramlaw Who's up next?
22:38 funnyguts The kobolds
Everest|Llayra After Llayra attacks, because I forgot I could charge.
funnyguts Wait, why can't Llayra attack with a normal move?
Everest|Llayra She could with a normal move, but not with hustling.
INUH|Tramlaw @funnyguts:Too far. She was 6 squares away.
Everest|Llayra that's how I heard it, at least.
Everest|Llayra Llayra's speed is only four.
Everest|Llayra She's wearing hide.
funnyguts The map shows you right in front of the kobold...
Cygan|Seren What's Seren's speed?
22:39 Everest|Llayra Because I moved her there with a charge. Seren's is 4 as well.
funnyguts Oh, okay.
Cygan|Seren Oh. How does charge work? >.>
INUH|Tramlaw You basically run at your opponent and attack, in exchange for an AC penalty. If I remember right.
22:40 funnyguts You move double your speed at the enemy, and you get a +2 attack bonus.
Cygan|Seren Oh. Can I charge close enough to attack?
funnyguts The penalty is a -2 to ac until your next turn.
Everest|Llayra As well as a -2 AC bonus.
funnyguts Yes, you can charge up to 8 spaces.
Everest|Llayra You also have to move in a straight path towards your target.
INUH|Tramlaw Of course, there won't be a next turn in this combat if the attack hits.
funnyguts And Llayra just moved into the way...
22:41 Everest|Llayra She missed.
INUH|Tramlaw Wonderful.
Everest|Llayra Well, I can probably move in a diagonal as part of the charge, since it's still a straight path, without getting in anyone's way.
Everest|Llayra Just a sec. I can show it on iScribble.
22:42 Everest|Llayra Like so?
Meophist Now that I'm reading this, P&P seems more like a FFT-like strategy RPG more than a typical CRPG.
Zersk|Felgrove PnP?
INUH|Tramlaw It often is. Though it depends on the system.
INUH|Tramlaw Some just have you ad-lib positions and stuff.
22:43 Everest|Llayra I'll demonstrate with a line, if necessary.
<- DYRE has disconnected (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
INUH|Tramlaw That's valid, I think.
Everest|Llayra I thought so.
INUH|Tramlaw Kobolds are up, I guess.
funnyguts Except for the ones on the ground.
22:44 Everest|Llayra Kobold is up.
Everest|Llayra *KoBOLD
INUH|Tramlaw Right. Singular.
Meophist @Zersk: Is that at me?
INUH|Tramlaw I assumed at me.
Zersk|Felgrove Yah.
Zersk|Felgrove Or you.
Zersk|Felgrove Either one.
Zersk|Felgrove Since you two know what it is.
INUH|Tramlaw Oh, wait. I thought Meo was talking to Funnyguts for a second.
22:45 INUH|Tramlaw But to answer your question, PnP=pen and paper.
funnyguts The little bastard is fleeing! Zersk, shoot it with an arrow.
Zersk|Felgrove Ohh, okay.
Meophist P&P or PnP stands for Pen and Paper, the traditional way of playing games like D&D. I say that to differentiate between it and its digital counterparts, and ninja'd.
Zersk|Felgrove I should do that!
22:46 Zersk|Felgrove Meophist: Oh, okay. I know what PnP is, but I thought you were actually talking about a game system.
Zersk|Felgrove Izzit my turn yet?
funnyguts Nope, Seren's turn.
22:47 Zersk|Felgrove Oh.
22:50 funnyguts Cygan: It's a kobold, not a goblin.
22:53 funnyguts Wait, diagonals aren't 1-1-1?
Zersk|Felgrove But that's silly.
Zersk|Felgrove And technically not correct.
22:54 Everest|Llayra No, diagonals are 1-2-1-2-
Meophist 1-2-1-2- makes more sense.
Zersk|Felgrove That'd mean that you are moving faster if you go diagonal.
Everest|Llayra I've done the math too. Technically the hypotenuse of a 5x5 is 7.something
Cygan|Seren You are moving faster.
Everest|Llayra Yup. Therefore diagonals count for more.
Cygan|Seren You're covering less ground while mmoving diagonally.
22:55 Meophist ...mathematically speaking. One diagonal movement is about 1.4 if I remember correctly.
Everest|Llayra Yeah. I was thinking in 5's, for five feet.
funnyguts goes off to wonder why D&D doesn't use hexes to save us all the confusion
Everest|Llayra 50^.5 = 7....
Cygan|Seren And done.
Zersk|Felgrove Uh...
Zersk|Felgrove I have to go really soon.
Everest|Llayra Like, how soon?
22:56 Cygan|Seren :<
INUH|Tramlaw @Funnyguts:Because people first thought of that after D&D was created?
Zersk|Felgrove Like, right after we beat this Kobold.
INUH|Tramlaw :<
Everest|Llayra :<
funnyguts That sucks, Zersk...
Zersk|Felgrove Cause my mom doesn't want me on the computer while I eat. >////>
Meophist Well, can't help that.
Cygan|Seren I ended up running between y laptop and the kitchen, but I don't think you'd be allowed.
Zersk|Felgrove Yeah. :/
22:57 INUH|Tramlaw Yeah. Stuff like that happens when people schedule games.
Everest|Llayra But would it take an hour? How long do you usually eat for? If you can't come back in time, that's fine, thuogh.
Zersk|Felgrove Cygan: Yeah, I tried that. Not allowed.
Zersk|Felgrove Evvy: I dunno. :/
Everest|Llayra I usually eat in my room.
22:58 INUH|Tramlaw Well, for now, let's get the Kobold defeated and see how long it takes you to make it back.
Zersk|Felgrove Okay!
funnyguts We'll play children's card games in the meantime.
Everest|Llayra Also, I used 8:00 P.M.-12:00 P.M. GMT -5 as a minimum, though. Technically, the limit I calculated was from 8-2 A.M, since that's 11 for you, and you said your mom takes it at 11.
funnyguts Either that or Risus
Everest|Llayra But yeah, we can finish this and then wait.
22:59 Zersk|Felgrove Okay.
Zersk|Felgrove Thanks you guys.
Everest|Llayra No problem.
Cygan|Seren
Zersk|Felgrove Okay!
23:00 Zersk|Felgrove Who's turn now?
Everest|Llayra Do you think you can make it back in less than an hour, though? Just wondering, to see if we should wrap it up after or not. And it's Haisa's turn.
Zersk|Felgrove I'll try1
Zersk|Felgrove !
23:01 Zersk|Felgrove Wow wowwee wow.
23:04 Cygan|Seren Shit, I screwed up the formatting of the RP I've been transcribing :<
Zersk|Felgrove I take it that that's dead then!
Meophist @INUH: That reminds me of a webcomic I recall a while ago about a fictional Final Fantasy: The RPG.
Zersk|Felgrove Well, anyhow.
Zersk|Felgrove See you guys in a bit.
funnyguts Bye!
Everest|Llayra See you later, Zersky!
Cygan|Seren Seeya :3
Everest|Llayra Hope you can make it back soon!
INUH|Tramlaw Later.
23:05 Meophist See you.
funnyguts Yay, your first victory!
Meophist So, about the earlier discussion about diagonals... one diagonal is the distance of about 1.41421356 the normal move, so two moves is the distance of twice that, or about 2.8. Under the 1-2-1-2- system, two diagonal moves would be 3 units, which is a reasonable estimate.
Everest|Llayra Uh-huh.
23:06 Cygan|Seren Because a straight across, then down, covering of a square would be 2.
23:07 funnyguts Right, but I thought diagonals were effectively a normal move too. You can move in eight directions instead of four...
Meophist If diagonals didn't have the 1-2-1-2 penalty, it'll be significantly faster than moving normally.
23:08 funnyguts Okay then.
23:09 Meophist If you can't move diagonally, then moving in a zigzag would take much longer than it would realistically.
<- Zersk|Felgrove has disconnected (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
23:11 Cygan|Seren Hmmmm
INUH|Tramlaw Well.
INUH|Tramlaw So far, so good.
Cygan|Seren Okay...
Cygan|Seren >.>
Cygan|Seren worries about EXP
funnyguts Suddenly, Cthulu attacks!
23:12 Everest|Llayra Why are you worried about EXP?
Cygan|Seren Cthulhu rolls infinite d20s! You all die!
Cygan|Seren Fuck
23:13 Cygan|Seren Uh, I dunno how we get EXP- is it just EXP for each monster, or is there encounter EXP?
Everest|Llayra EXP works like this:
Everest|Llayra Depending on your level, each monster is worth a certain amount.
23:14 Everest|Llayra Add each monster's XP value together and then divide it by the amount of people you fought it with. Do this for each character.
Everest|Llayra *each character who fought.
INUH|Tramlaw Really? That's not how I remember 3.5 xp working at all.
INUH|Tramlaw Though almost everyone houserules it.
Everest|Llayra Well, I phrased it like that because of this: Say a level 6 and a level 3 fought together, right?
23:15 INUH|Tramlaw Yeah?
Everest|Llayra The values for the monsters fought are going to be lower for the level 6 than for the level 3, but both values are divided by the amount of people who fought. The level 3 would gain more than the level 6.
23:16 INUH|Tramlaw Yes. But I remember the way it works for multiple monsters being different.
INUH|Tramlaw Hang on, I'll get my DMG.
funnyguts I think you just do that for every monster...
Everest|Llayra I have mine. Let's both look.
Everest|Llayra I remember it being you just add them all together.
Meophist As far as I know, EXP works however the DM wants it to work.
INUH|Tramlaw ^True.
funnyguts Meo: That's always true...
23:17 Everest|Llayra I'm trying to stick to the rules, though. Hold on, I've found the passage in the DMG.
-> Zersk has joined jammiesOOC
Zersk Okay!
Zersk I'm back now!
INUH|Tramlaw Oh, wow, that was quick.
Meophist That was quick.
Zersk Hehe. :3
Cygan|Seren Whoah.
Everest|Llayra Wha---? :33333
23:18 Everest|Llayra SWEET!
Zersk owo
funnyguts What was your dinner? A glass of water?
Cygan|Seren I know, right?
Zersk A plate of rice with fish covered in masala.
funnyguts That sounds good.
INUH|Tramlaw Zersk is secretly a vacuum cleaner.
Zersk I was already eating it last I was on, but my mom made me come off, as I said earlier.
Meophist wikis masala.
Zersk
23:19 Meophist Sounds good.
INUH|Tramlaw I really wish we could use TV Tropes markup.
Zersk funnyguts: It was good.
Cygan|Seren Yeah :<
Everest|Llayra Anyway, I can post the passage about XP from the DMG.
Everest|Llayra In steps, though.
Zersk Yah!
Everest|Llayra I can't copy it normally, for some reason.
23:20 Everest|Llayra @ Zersky: I'm not telling how much you earned yet. I was having a discussion with INUH about Experience gain.
Zersk Huh. :/
Everest|Llayra I'm merely posting the steps.
Zersk Orly?
Zersk Uh, okay!
23:21 Cygan|Seren m'kay!'
Everest|Llayra 1. Determine each character's level.
Everest|Llayra 2. For each monster defeated, determine the single monster's Challenge Rating.
Cygan|Seren Easy, all 1
Cygan|Seren Hmmm
23:22 Cygan|Seren Challenge rating 1/4
funnyguts Which means that for four kobolds, the CR is one, I believe.
Everest|Llayra 3. Cross-reference character level with Challenge Rating on a table that is super-secretDM-stuff--Oh, you know? Okay. But that doesn't tell you XP (-Naughty DM >:3)
Cygan|Seren :<
Everest|Llayra Funnybunny has it right.
23:23 Everest|Llayra Anyway . . .
INUH|Tramlaw I'm getting some lag right now. Just thought I'd let everyone know.
Everest|Llayra 4. Divide the base XP award by the number of characters in the party. This is the amount of XP that one character receives for helping to defeat that monster.
Everest|Llayra Okay, INUH.
23:24 Cygan|Seren Does the wolf count as a character?
Everest|Llayra No.
INUH|Tramlaw Nor does my toad.
Zersk Wolves don't matter.
Everest|Llayra 5. Add up all the XP awards for all the monster the character helped defeat.
Everest|Llayra @ Zersk: :<
23:25 Zersk Oh, sorry Evvy. >.>
Everest|Llayra 6. Repeat the process for each character.
Everest|Llayra No problem.
Zersk 7. ???
Zersk 8. PROFIT!!!!
Cygan|Seren 7. Give us our EXP!
INUH|Tramlaw Right. But this section doesn't actually take into account the system for multiple enemies in a single encounter. That's on page 48.
Cygan|Seren Hehehe
Everest|Llayra You get the total XP for all of your battles when you rest. Or we can just give it out now. I haven't decided yet.
23:26 INUH|Tramlaw Basically, you give the encounter an "Encounter Level," and then treat it as though the party had defeated one enemy at that CR.
Meophist @Everest: That explains Bathesta and some other WRPG maker's system.
INUH|Tramlaw Though for four CR 1/4 creatures, the EL winds up being 1, so it comes out the same in that case.
23:28 funnyguts Oh, EXP, so important, so complicated...
Everest|Llayra With the way that decreasing monster XP value works, that's how it works, yeah.
23:29 INUH|Tramlaw But anyway. Let's get back to the game.
Everest|Llayra For example, four CR 2 monsters = CR 6. A CR 2 is worth 450 for a level 6 character. A CR 6 monster is worth 1800 for a level 6 character.
Everest|Llayra Yeah, let's get to it.
23:30 funnyguts Ah, the question that comes up after experience: What did we get for loot?
23:31 INUH|Tramlaw Of course
Everest|Llayra We can take the kobolds' armor and weapons (though why would we) as well as any money they might possess. I don't strictly follow standard treasure rules, though. Too complex.
Zersk Says Everest after we talked about Experience.
INUH|Tramlaw That's why I tend to DM by taking premade adventures and modify them to suit the campaign and characters.
23:32 Everest|Llayra No, trust me, treasure is much more complex than experience.
INUH|Tramlaw Gives me something to go on.
INUH|Tramlaw And he's right. It is. It's ridiculous.
Everest|Llayra I just make 'em all up. :3
Zersk Everest: I can imagine. O-O
23:33 Cygan|Seren Hmmmmm
Cygan|Seren I have new curtains now ^_^
23:34 Zersk Hehe, nice!
Zersk What do they look like?
23:35 Cygan|Seren They areeeee
Cygan|Seren purple satin
Cygan|Seren with a black cotton backing
23:36 Zersk CoooooÞl! :3
Cygan|Seren it llows a little light through, but not much
Cygan|Seren So now my whole room is purple! ^_^
23:37 Cygan|Seren ...
Cygan|Seren Did I kill you all with my talk of purple?
Everest|Llayra Nah. We're busy looting kobold chumps.
23:40 Cygan|Seren I have no idea how much a kobold would be worth :/
funnyguts You don't really take the kobold, you just take its armor, weapons, and gold. And potions if it has any.
Cygan|Seren Trying to keep in mind, looting is.. distasteful, although not exactly evil. It's leaning towards neutral, and Seren needs to stay Lawful Good :/
23:41 funnyguts I think there are very few DMs who will penalize you for looting. It's one of those things that just comes with being an adventurer.
funnyguts It's good to see that you want to roleplay your alignment, though.
23:42 Everest|Llayra Nah. I think looting is generally fine. They attacked us, and if anything, we're utilizing their resources, instead of wasting them, so it's better, and perhaps even more respectful to use their money than to just leave it.
Everest|Llayra Funnyguts nailed it, though. And it's good to see that you care.
INUH|Tramlaw Yep. Good to see a paladin who seems both correctly-aligned and reasonable.
Everest|Llayra ^^ If that "taking the money is mreo respectfu" makes any sense, which it probably doesn't.
Cygan|Seren Yeah. I'm going to loot- I'm just not oing to be particularly happy about it.
23:43 Zersk I forget, is Cygy the only Lawful Good character?
INUH|Tramlaw I'm NG.
Everest|Llayra Llayra is NG as well.
Zersk Ah, kay.
Zersk Felgrove is CG
23:44 Meophist So the entire good spectrum is covered...
INUH|Tramlaw No evil characters. That's good. That never ends well.
Cygan|Seren ...
Meophist I believe evil is generally discouraged in D&D.
Zersk Cygy: What?
Cygan|Seren What, no Lawful Neutrals or nothing?
Cygan|Seren :/
23:45 Chagen If I ever were to play a character, he/she'd be Chaotic Neutral. Gives me the best flexibility.
INUH|Tramlaw @Meophist:I've played Evil campaigns.
INUH|Tramlaw There's actually a really funny in-joke my group had about that, but it takes forever to tell. Maybe later.
23:46 Cygan|Seren I'd play True Neutral if I wasn't a Paladin.
funnyguts Typically everybody in a party should be all good/neutral, or all evil.
Meophist Sure. I'd probably be true neutral if I ever play.
Zersk What about all neutral/evil?
Everest|Llayra I actually like NG. Either that, or CE.
INUH|Tramlaw NG or CE? That's an interesting pair.
Everest|Llayra Depends on what I want out of my game. Good = NG. Evil = CE.
23:47 INUH|Tramlaw True.
Chagen Why not a group with only CG and CE evil characters? Sounds like a recipe for hilarity.
Everest|Llayra Depends entirely on how seriously you take character alignment
funnyguts It wouldn't last long. If you want a campaign that works for more than one session, you'd want everyone to have similar goals.
INUH|Tramlaw Because when the players start attacking each other, group cohesion often goes down the drain.
23:48 Chagen But watching everything descend into a mass of in-fighting could be friggin' hilarious. Given that you don't take the game seriously. At all.
INUH|Tramlaw You should try playing Paranoia.
23:49 Zersk Hehe.
Zersk I've heard of that game.
Chagen I knew someone would suggest it.
INUH|Tramlaw TBH, I've only seen a D20 conversion a fan did.
23:52 Meophist I'm getting some good ideas for a P&P RPG, but it'll be difficult to play online.
00:05 funnyguts I'm thinking about the possibilities of a Fable pen and paper game. I think I'll base it off the West End d6 system...
INUH|Tramlaw Could be interesting. Don't know the system, though.
00:07 funnyguts Basically you get a d6 per level of whatever skill you have, like 3D for Strength and 4D for Charisma. That part's pretty simple.
-> Clocky has joined jammiesOOC
00:08 Zersk Well, in any case.
Zersk Are we done?
Everest|Llayra What, for the day, or for that battle?
Cygan|Seren
INUH|Tramlaw I dunno. We could try tracking them now.
Zersk Hay Counter! -Huggles-
Zersk For the day.
Everest|Llayra We can track them now. After that, how much longer can everyone stay?
INUH|Tramlaw I can go until whenever.
Cygan|Seren Uhhh... 12 mmore hours? >.>
Everest|Llayra I'm perfectly okay with two more hours of play, myself.
Zersk 0 minutes.
00:09 funnyguts Uh oh.
Zersk I think.
INUH|Tramlaw Ah. That makes things more difficult.
Zersk I'd probably have to go now.
Zersk Before my mom gets mad. :/
Everest|Llayra It's 9:00 for you, right?
Zersk I might be up for a bit more, but...
Zersk Yeah, it is.
Zersk 9:10
Everest|Llayra I can adjust the schedule time to be from 8:00-12:00 permamently, for reference, if you'd like.
00:10 INUH|Tramlaw Oh, well. We got through an encounter and now is a good breaking point.
Zersk Evvy: Huh?
Zersk INUH: Yeah, I guess.
INUH|Tramlaw Things'll probably move faster next time.
Zersk 8-12...
Zersk Like, 8 AM or PM?
00:11 Everest|Llayra @ Zersky: I was under the impression that you could go untill 11:00 on your end, but if 9:00 is a regular thing, I should make a permanent adjustment. 8:00 P.M.
funnyguts PM, the same time it is now I believe.
INUH|Tramlaw PM, I'd assume.
funnyguts So from 5 to 9 PM your time.
Zersk Evvy: I dunno, I might be able to go to 10:00
Zersk But since it's a school night and all...
00:12 Everest|Llayra Oh. Right. You have school. I have school off thanks to MLK day tomorrow.
INUH|Tramlaw Ah. So it would be different if we were meeting on Saturday as originally planned.
INUH|Tramlaw I also have a break tomorrow.
Zersk Yah.
Zersk Evvy: MLK day...
Zersk Martin Luther King Junior day, right?
Zersk I don't think Canada has that.
INUH|Tramlaw Yep.
Everest|Llayra So would Saturday allow you to stay from 10-11, or just from 9-10 like today?
Zersk Yah, I think so!
00:13 Cygan|Seren Still holidays for me >.>
Zersk 10-11
Everest|Llayra Great. Saturdays should definitely be the standard meeting time, then!
Meophist I'm pretty sure Canada doesn't have MLK day. At least, I never had it.
INUH|Tramlaw Well, then, we can make that the normal schedule.
Zersk Evvy: Yay! :3
Cygan|Seren Sorry guys :<
00:14 Zersk What?
Zersk Oh, you mean the holidays thing?
Cygan|Seren For messing up yesterday.
Zersk Ah, it's okay!
Everest|Llayra Okay, everyone, make note: Saturdays are the regular days for this D&D game. Try to--it's okay, Cygy.
Zersk It wasn't your fault.
INUH|Tramlaw Nah, in the end, it was my fault.
Everest|Llayra In the end it was neither person's fault. Stuff happens.
Zersk INUH: Nah, you thought that we weren't playing on Saturday. It isn't your fault either.
INUH|Tramlaw Yep. Scheduling just sucks.
00:15 Everest|Llayra And that is why I have my comprehensive schedule.
Everest|Llayra Well, sort of comprehensive . . .
INUH|Tramlaw Well, then. This was a great start.
Zersk Yep!
Zersk :3
00:16 Meophist It was an interesting session, even from my vantage.
Everest|Llayra Yeah. Also, as I was saying, make note: Saturdays are the regular time, from 8:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M. GMT -5 time. Try not to let scheduling get in the way of that if you can avoid it.
Zersk OkayyyÞ!
Cygan|Seren Okay :3
INUH|Tramlaw Indeed. I don't think there's ever anything else I'd be doing then.
funnyguts This was fun to watch
00:17 INUH|Tramlaw Sorry you showed up right at the end, Counterclock.
Clocky v.v
Clocky It's ok
Everest|Llayra Super. Thanks for watching, Funny, Meo, and Chuggles. And DYRE while he was here. And Clocky for showing up for support at the end.
Everest|Llayra By the way, Clocky, would you be interested in joining the game as a player?
INUH|Tramlaw It's interesting to have spectators.
Everest|Llayra You expressed interest before.
00:18 Clocky Well, 8-2 right... so uh... what time would it be now, cause I've got 10 here.
Clocky Time zones... always confuse me >.<
funnyguts That's 10 AM?
Everest|Llayra You're GMT -6, apparently, so that wold be from 6:00 P.M. - 12:00 A.M. for you.
Everest|Llayra I assumed 10 P.m.
Everest|Llayra It's 21 where I am.
Everest|Llayra *12
00:19 Clocky Awww, ok, I would love to join then... sure...
INUH|Tramlaw Yay!
Everest|Llayra NICE! :3
Zersk -Huggles Clock- :3
00:20 Cygan|Seren Hehehe :3
Cygan|Seren huggles Clock
Everest|Llayra If you need any help making a character, just pop over to the RP Discussion thread for Jammies D&D, and INUH and/or I can help you.
Everest|Llayra Or Zersk and Cygan, depending on what exactly it is that you want.
funnyguts I can help too!
Cygan|Seren I cn elp with backstory :3
00:21 Everest|Llayra Okay, anyone who can help can help. :^P
Cygan|Seren can help*
funnyguts Yay!
INUH|Tramlaw For now, you might to bookmark d20srd.org. It's useful.
INUH|Tramlaw It's almost all of the rules except for rolling ability scores and starting gold.
funnyguts And those are pretty easy to figure out...
00:22 Cygan|Seren Hehehe :3
INUH|Tramlaw But yeah, I'm happy to help if you need it.
Everest|Llayra As am I.
Clocky ^_^, ty you everyone.
Everest|Llayra You're welcome.
Everest|Llayra * :^D
00:23 INUH|Tramlaw No problem. I've always found helping people fun.
funnyguts So, are we all going to head out now that the session's over, or will we hang out here some more?
00:24 Zersk I dunno!
Zersk :/
Cygan|Seren i don't mind hanging out :3
Everest|Llayra We can quickly take care of tracking and see where that puts us before hanging up.
INUH|Tramlaw Sure. That works.
Everest|Llayra Or hanging out, as it may be.
00:25 Clocky I'll still be here :3
funnyguts Okay! I'll stay for a while too.
Meophist I'm here for some reason.
00:26 Clocky You're here for good reasons then
Cygan|Seren Hehehe :3
INUH|Tramlaw Hanging out sounds good.
Cygan|Seren
00:27 Meophist I'm trying to catch up to Fetishes, but it's going slower than expected.
Zersk What page?
Zersk Speaking of...
Meophist 3600 at the moment.
Zersk Oh, okay.
00:28 INUH|Tramlaw Wow. How long have you been reading it?
funnyguts And Tramlaw is momentarily stricken blind.
00:29 Meophist Technically, I started on the 7th of... October, maybe? I took a large break though.
INUH|Tramlaw Yep. FailedASpotCheck.
INUH|Tramlaw ^Wow. Before I started posting.
INUH|Tramlaw And again, I really wish we could use TV Tropes markup.
Meophist I remember it was nearing 3000 pages when I started.
00:31 Meophist So it was probably the 7th of November then.
funnyguts Don't worry, Inuh. Pretty soon everything will have TV Tropes markup.
INUH|Tramlaw Even normal conversation?
funnyguts Because we'll have infected the world with our trope speak by then.
Cygan|Seren :<
funnyguts Oh yes.
INUH|Tramlaw Awesome.
00:32 Cygan|Seren I wanted to use my Diplomacy skill >.<
Clocky [[AwesomeReally, not really awesome really]]
Clocky ^_^
Clocky wait....
00:33 INUH|Tramlaw I love the ability to put visible subtext in a conversation, and I've come to miss it when I don't have it.
Cygan|Seren Yeah.
Clocky You could always..... nevermind, got nothing v.v
Cygan|Seren I keep potholing words in y head IRL >.<
Clocky I pothole my thoughts
00:34 INUH|Tramlaw As do I.
Clocky Can I has colorful text?
Cygan|Seren Fuck, peoples >.<
Cygan|Seren RP
00:35 Cygan|Seren RPing a Lawful Good is annoying >.<
Clocky lol, Poor Cygan
INUH|Tramlaw It's okay. I was expecting it.
Everest|Llayra Oh, right. Unethical to sneak up on things, etc.
Everest|Llayra My first guess was that sneaking would be hard with armor.
00:36 Cygan|Seren Fuck Paladins >.<
Everest|Llayra It could be worse. You could be a knight.
00:37 Everest|Llayra Knights can't get bonuses for flanking, attack flat-footed enemies, or attack helpless creatures, or they lose power.
Cygan|Seren Or a Paladin Knight >.<
00:38 Clocky What kind of character should I make? >.<
funnyguts Does the party have a cleric?
00:39 Zersk No.
INUH|Tramlaw Whatever kind you want.
Everest|Llayra We have each distinct role covered. So whatever you feel like, really?
INUH|Tramlaw No, but we have some partial healers, so it should be covered.
Everest|Llayra @ Funny: No, but we have a Druid and a Paladin who is decent at healing stuff.
funnyguts How about a arcane magic class?
Cygan|Seren Or a Ranger
00:40 Clocky Hmmm
INUH|Tramlaw I'm a sorcerer, but some company in arcane casting couldn't hurt.
funnyguts Ah.
Cygan|Seren Wouldn't Ranger be good?
INUH|Tramlaw Yeah, I know, I've been acting like a melee class so far.
00:41 Everest|Llayra Ranger could definitely have its uses.
Cygan|Seren Someone who can specilize in ranged attacks?
Everest|Llayra And yeah, at this pint a sorcerer who rolled well would not necessarily be better off casting than fighting up close.
Everest|Llayra *point
Clocky Ranger sounds ok.... just let me ask... an odd question
Everest|Llayra Sure. Go ahead. :3
00:42 Clocky About the RP itself
Clocky is there... Skeletons?
Zersk Yah?
Clocky <3
Cygan|Seren No, you cannot preach the religion of Raocow
Cygan|Seren -_-
Zersk I think maybe.
Everest|Llayra There might be skeletons at some point.
INUH|Tramlaw Not yet, but there could be later.
Clocky Just asking about Skeletons >.<
Cygan|Seren That was going to be her next question, I just know it.
Everest|Llayra Depends on what I feel like. At this point, probably not.
Clocky Yay :3
Cygan|Seren
funnyguts Skeletons frighten you too much?
00:43 Clocky No, I love skeletons >.<
Cygan|Seren Quite the opposite
funnyguts Oh. You don't want to hurt them?
Clocky I wants to hug one, if I saw it!
INUH|Tramlaw I see.
INUH|Tramlaw I can see how that might be a conflict of interest.
Clocky Yup, also, I would like, pay gold to a secret necromancer for a skeleton pet
funnyguts Okay. That's awesome. :3
00:44 INUH|Tramlaw Hm. I wonder if there's any sort of playable skeleton viable at first level. Not off the top of my head...
Cygan|Seren House rules!
funnyguts Lemme check the MM!
Cygan|Seren >.<
Everest|Llayra And skeletons, technically, aren't always evil, either. "A skeleton does only what it is ordered to do."
Everest|Llayra I has the MM, Funny.
00:45 Everest|Llayra A skeleton at first level would probably be a hindrance.
funnyguts What does it say about skeleton characters?
INUH|Tramlaw I have a crapload of sourcebooks, so I can probably find something in the next few days.
INUH|Tramlaw I didn't mean a normal skeleton. Just something skeletal.
Everest|Llayra Doesn't say anything about characters specifically, but Challenge Rating is lower than the total hit Dice, and there's no level adjustment.
Everest|Llayra To balance out, a skeleton character would need more than one hit die.
00:46 INUH|Tramlaw Hm. Might be something in Libris Mortis...
INUH|Tramlaw I've got a copy on my bookshelf. One second.
funnyguts Okay.
Cygan|Seren Would it act something like a copanion?
Everest|Llayra Skeletons can't gain feats, either. Or skills. A skeleton isn't really good for much more than what it was commanded to do, and they don't have Intelligence scores.
Cygan|Seren More than a character?
Cygan|Seren A minion?
00:47 Cygan|Seren ...
Everest|Llayra Possibly. But it wouldn't work as a PC.
Cygan|Seren Let's make up house rules >.<
Cygan|Seren Exactly.
Cygan|Seren It would be her ranger companion.
INUH|Tramlaw There are undead Monster Classes, but Skeleton isn't on there :<
Cygan|Seren Someone who sticks around her while she fills people up with arrows!
Cygan|Seren Like the Hunters from WoW!
00:48 INUH|Tramlaw Maybe becoming a necromancer would work?
Clocky A necromancer... is that even a class? >.<
Everest|Llayra If you can animate dead people, that would work. But that's kind of evil in this game.
Everest|Llayra Yes, Dread Necromancer is a PC class.
INUH|Tramlaw You can become one from starting as a Wizard.
Cygan|Seren Yeah, that's my concern :<
Everest|Llayra Dread Necromancers aren't necessarily evil, though.
Everest|Llayra Dread Necromancers are a PC class, not Prestige or anything.
00:49 INUH|Tramlaw Wait, seriously? Not a prestige class? What are they from?
Everest|Llayra Heroes of Horror. I'll go open it up.
INUH|Tramlaw Don't have that one.
00:50 Everest|Llayra Also, as a warning, Dread Necromancers can't be any good alignment. Only neutral or evil on the morality axis.
Cygan|Seren Go True Neutral, clocky!
00:51 INUH|Tramlaw I also have a bunch of issues of Dragon to dig through gotta be something in there.
Clocky True Neutral....
Clocky Hmm
00:52 Clocky Logically, could I burn down a house and be true neutral?
Clocky Probably not >.<
funnyguts Depends on why you did it.
Everest|Llayra Depends on your motivation for burnign the house down.
00:53 Everest|Llayra changes nick to Everest
funnyguts If you did it just to be a jerk, that's chaotic and evil.
INUH|Tramlaw changes nick to INUH
Meophist I can't say I'm too big on this alignment stuff, personally.
Zersk Alignment can be weird, yah.
Everest It's far from perfect.
INUH Alignment is mostly unused, unless you're a paladin or from another plane.
Cygan|Seren changes nick to Cygan
INUH I've got a couple of Dragon October issues. There's lots of undead stuff int here.
00:54 Meophist It just seems too restricting.
Everest Neat. Anyway, lessee, making Clocky a skeleton or giving her a skeletal friend.
Everest . . .
Clocky ^_^
Cygan We should just stat up a skeleton and give it to her as a companion, IMO
00:55 Clocky Awww, are you going to wrap it up for me too? >.<
Everest Sure. Or like a group huggle buddy/mascot or something.
Clocky Can I put a tie on it...
Everest Idk. This is an unexpected snecario.
Everest I don't see why not.
INUH The two issues I was looking through have nothing on Skeletons. One's focused on Vampires, another on Spawn of Kyuss.
INUH I have more stuff, though. Hang on.
00:56 Clocky Vampire Skeletons?
Clocky That's just silly
INUH Afraid not.
Zersk -Is busy reading Homestuck-
Cygan http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/skeleton.htm
INUH Though there are some pretty interesting undead variants in D&D.
Everest I can find stuff on using skeletons as PCs online, to see if that helps.
00:57 Cygan If you go to the page I linked,
INUH Semi-unrelated: Anyone played anything from Ghostwalk? Interesting setting.
Cygan there's some skeleton archetypes further down the page.
funnyguts DANGIT ZERSK
Zersk What?
00:58 funnyguts I thought there was an update...
Zersk Oh...
INUH Speaking of Homestuck, the latest few updates. Um, wow.
Zersk Sorry. :<
00:59 Zersk INUH: You mean the flash update?
Zersk Yeah.
INUH Yep.
INUH But back to skeletons.
01:00 INUH I'll skim through the Monster Manuals II-IV, see if anything's in there.
Cygan Oooooooooh
Cygan http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Death_Knight_(3.5e_Prestige_Class)
Everest Did you check Libris Mortis? Also, I could probably houserule something up.
INUH Libris mortis had some necromancer prestige stuff, but nothing to start with.
01:01 Cygan You need to add the bracketed stuff to the link
INUH And it seemed like they had Monster Classes for every undead BUT skeletons.
Cygan Or... I could shut up.
funnyguts Death Knights are fun.
Zersk Hay funnyguts!
funnyguts Yeah?
Clocky Death knights?
Clocky What?
INUH I thought deathknights were invariably evil.
Cygan Deth knights.
Zersk Did you check your PMs recently?
Cygan No.
01:02 funnyguts No, I haven't.
Cygan http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Death_Knight_(3.5e_Prestige_Class)
Cygan DAMIT
Zersk Oh, okay.
Cygan A Death Knight naturally makes a good antagonist for an adventure or even a campaign. But, unusually, one can also make a great tortured hero in the event of being an unwilling Death Knight. The DM might even ignore the Skill requirement and work with the player for this.
Zersk :/
Everest It says the Death Knight page is deleted.
Cygan As I said-
Clocky Need to
Clocky Copy paste
Clocky ^_^
Cygan You need to include the bracketed stuff in the link.
Clocky Poor cygan
funnyguts I got the PM, Zersk.
Cygan :<
01:03 Zersk OkayÞ! :3
Clocky If I played a dethknight, could i be an emo one? >.<
Clocky Sorry
Clocky That's not serious
funnyguts -reading up on monks because I always wanted to play one even though everyone's told me they suck-
Cygan shoots clocky
01:04 Cygan Apparently, Priests are serious badasses
Cygan Or is it Cleris?
Zersk Cleris?
Clocky Priests! do they preach... religions... hmmmm :3
Zersk Is that a female Cleric?
Cygan Clerics
Cygan No, it's a typo
Zersk I know.
Zersk I'm just teasin' yah.
Clocky if I played a cleric... could I... preach a religion.... >.<
01:05 Clocky I don't know what character to make though... they all sound like fun
Zersk Lessee here...
Everest How about this? +2 Dexterity, -4 Intelligence; Darkvision 60 feet, Damage Reduction 5/bludgeoning, immunity to cold, and undead traits.
INUH You could go for a True Necromancer. Start as a wizard, qualify after level six...
Everest Basically, like a normal skeleton, but without a crippled Intelligence score.
Cygan Feats?
INUH They're from Libris Mortis.
Everest Also, no Constitution.
01:06 <- INUH has disconnected (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
Zersk The main classes are: Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard.
Everest At level 8, dread necromancers can use Animate Dead.
-> INUH has joined jammiesOOC
INUH Well, that was weird. Everyone still here?
01:07 Everest Yep.
Zersk No! :3
Zersk I disappeared!
Cygan Nop.
INUH I miss any shocking revelations in the 30 seconds I was gone?
Zersk Yes.
Clocky Of course
Cygan I'm a vampire.
Zersk We discovered the purpose of life.
Cygan >.<
Zersk And the Absolute Truth
Zersk I'll never look at frogs the same way again.
Cygan It was quite amazing.
01:08 Clocky Cygan is a vampire???
INUH Nah, if you had, you'd be laughing too hard to type.
Clocky does she sparkle >.<
Cygan Hehehehe
Zersk INUH: Who says I'm not.
Zersk It's really hard to tipe.
Everest Well, I'll repost the hypothetical template, fixed up somewhat. INUH and funnyguts, tell me what you think: +2 Dexterity, -4 Intelligence (minimum 3), no Constitution; Darkvision 60 feet, Damage Reduction 5/bludgeoning, immunity to cold, and undead traits.
01:09 INUH Anyway. True Necromancer class. A wizard can qualify after level 6, I think.
Clocky Rawr! ok, Necromancer, Deathknight(if I can >.<) Or Cleric
INUH @Everest: Seems reasonable.
Zersk GtG for a second.
Clocky Can't decide v.v
Cygan Deathknight >.<
INUH Is DR 5 okay for level one?
funnyguts That's for the skeleton?
INUH Ah, True Necromancers can't be Good either.
Everest I wondered. Maybe 3/bludgeoning. And yes, that would be for a PC skeleton, not the original template.
01:10 funnyguts And doesn't a creature have to have at least 1 point of CON to not count as dead and non-functioning?
INUH Undead don't have a Con score at all.
funnyguts I see.
Chagen Holy shit, this place grew while I was away RFactoring.
Everest It's not Con 0; it's no score, rendering it immune to certain stuff. Ninja'd
01:11 INUH Makes sense. Who would poison a skeleton?
Clocky I would
funnyguts That's going to be a pretty unconventional character... Is this Clocky's first time playing?
Clocky With my words
Cygan Hehehe
Clocky Errr... Technically... second I suppose....
INUH So...if you used that Skeleton template but wanted to be a necromancer as well, you could use a Sorcerer.
INUH Wouldn't make a good Wizard, though.
01:12 Clocky Can I at least burn down houses?
Everest Yeah. Don't see why you would though.
Clocky I don't know why I would want too either... maybe they're full of bad people?
Everest It depends, I suppose.
01:13 INUH Whoa. Looking at True Necromancer again, you have to be both an arcane AND divine caster. Ew.
Zersk Gotta go now.
Zersk Bye gaiz!
Everest Bye, Zersk.
Clocky bye Zersk -hug-
Meophist Good night.
INUH Bye, Zersk.
Everest Anyway, INUH, download Heroes of Horror and look at the Dread Necromancer. It seems right up Clocky's alley.
funnyguts Good night!
01:14 <- Zersk has disconnected (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
Cygan Night
Clocky Dread Necromancer huh? ^_^
Cygan DAMMIT
Clocky A little late there
Clocky : p
INUH I will. But at the moment, I'm checking out the Pale Master from Libris Mortis. It's interesting.
Clocky But it also means I can't play an emo dethknight.. bleh, fine, Dread Necro is it :3
01:15 Everest Okay. That's a little less wonkiness for everyone.
Clocky wonkiness ? That can be rated now?
Everest Sure, why not? :3
funnyguts brb, guys
01:16 Everest K
Cygan k
01:17 Clocky Ok, so Dread Necromancer hmmm, but I do have to be evil, or can I do good things too... along with the totally random thing I'd probably do
Everest You can be any nongood alignment. You could be Neutral still.
Everest You can balance the natural repulsiveness of necromancy with good intentions.
01:18 INUH I am having far more difficulty finding Heroes of Horror than I expected >:-|
Everest What do you use? I found it on 4shared.
01:19 INUH Well, from now on, I use 4shared
01:20 INUH But anyway, I like that PC skeleton template.
Cygan Um
funnyguts Back.
Clocky welcome back
Everest Hi again!
Everest And thanks, INUH!
Cygan Seren's gonna have difficulties here...
01:21 Clocky Hmm?
Everest Paladins and undead don't generally mix well.
Clocky Awww, but look at him, Soo cute <3
INUH Hm. But being undead, in and of itself, isn't immoral, is it? I don't find it so.
Everest Probably not. It's something to contemplate, though.
01:22 INUH It could be interesting how they interact if it's handeled well.
Cygan No. But as a cloistered Paladin, Seren is going to have difficulties accepted the notion of a Good Skeleton.
Cygan It's going to cause her conflict.
Everest On top of that, whether Clocky's good or not depends on her class.
01:23 INUH Indeed. It's hard to find a good-aligned Necromancy class.
Cygan Becaause it
Cygan is a typically Evil skill.
01:24 Everest Although, like I said, the Dread Necromancer can use necromancy and still be neutral.
Clocky typically, Cygan, doesn't mean every case
Cygan Yes.
INUH But there are some excellent examples of Good undead, just rarely Good necromancers.
INUH I'd just like to find one that allowed it.
Everest Dread Necromancers also rely on Charisma, so we don't have to worry about low Intelligence hindering her.
Cygan But Neutral dips into Evil as often as good.
INUH I take it as a personal challenge now.
01:25 Everest Cool. Or we could just do away with the PC skeleton thing due to its wonkiness and come upon friendly skeleton bros later on. Just throwing that out there.
01:26 INUH Hm. And at level 20, Dread Necromancers become liches. Which means that in the end, they're evil no matter what. I don't like the morality behind that design.
Clocky Could I adopt of one the friendly skeletons?
Everest Dread Necromancers also become Liches at -- Ninja'd
Clocky Bleh
Everest And I don't see why you couldn't adopt a friendly skeleton.
funnyguts She could multiclass...
Everest That too
Clocky Are liches evil?
INUH I do like the idea of having an adopted skeleton.
Clocky Do they have to be?!
INUH Yep. Liches are always evil.
01:27 Clocky What about, ultimate clause evil goodness?
INUH If you aren't familiar, it's basically what Voldemort did with his soul in the Harry Potter books.
Everest It doesn't say anything about changing its alignment in the DN's features section.
Clocky I wants to destroy "everything evil in the world" before I become evil myself ^_^
Clocky Yeah, ok, random thought >.< bleh
INUH Yes, but Liches aren't capable of being nonevil. Because of the whole "lacking souls" thing.
Cygan The biggest problem with non-evil necromancers is the Animate and Create Undead spells. These spells are [Evil], and casting an [Evil] spell is an evil act. Consistently doing evil acts makes it difficult to maintain a non-evil alignment.
01:28 INUH I find it annoying that the spells have to be [evil].
Cygan Same.
Clocky That is quite odd
Cygan But they are.
INUH I think the Ebberon setting had something about positive energy based undead.
INUH Hang on a second.
Everest Keep in mind I can still houserule away some of the dumber stipulations, like [evil] spells and alignment change for a sapient lich.
Meophist doesn't really like alignment stuff.
01:29 Everest People rarely do, Moe.
INUH True. Though Liches being evil actually makes sense. They don't have souls at all.
Cygan http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1588461637/qid=1118540654/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-5805286-0803912?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
Cygan Hehehe
funnyguts Alignment makes sense for Paladins, since you can imagine that your god is judging you...
Everest Yeah. But as long as they're intelligent, I don't see why it couldn't think for itself.
Everest @ INUH
Cygan Play a good-aligned Wizard.
Cygan Then branch out to Necromancer.
01:30 Cygan In fact, fuck this.
Clocky Huh?
Cygan Let's swap over to OOTS's morality system.
Meophist OOTS?
Everest Order of the Stick
Cygan Order of the Stick
Cygan Ninja'd
INUH OOTS uses the D&D morality system, though it kind of deconstructs it, I suppose.
funnyguts 00TS's morality system is pretty much 3.5's.
Cygan Yes.
Cygan But then take Roy, for example.
01:31 Meophist I've only read a little bit of that. How's it different... ninja'd.
Cygan He has performed Neutral, and even outright Evil acts.
INUH Roy wouldn't work as a Paladin, though.
Cygan But because he consistently TRIES to be Good...
Cygan No, not as a paladin.
INUH I find Redcloak a far more interesting example of OOTS's approach to the alignment system.
Meophist Cygan: So it'll just be about intent then?
Cygan Yeah.
Cygan Itent, not means or ends.
01:32 Everest I don't see why it can't always be about intent. We can just leave that rule in.
Everest Or houserule it in, I guess.
Cygan Different for Seren, because she has her God watchig over heer, though.
Everest Yeah.
INUH Right.
Cygan That's half the point of a Paladin.
Meophist D&D sure is flexible.
Cygan hehehe :3
INUH Yeah. Being a Paladin is about giving yourself to someone else's morality system and trusting them absolutely.
Clocky Well, Logically, destroying all the evil in the world to see if a world based on peace is even possible.
Everest It kinda has to be.
Cygan INUH: Exactly.
01:33 Cygan So, Seren will have to stick to her morality system... But you know what?
Cygan I bet she'll get pissed off at her god at oe point or another.
Meophist I'm not saying it's a bad thing. In fact, it's pretty good. Still, I'm not quite sure about the ways it's flexible, but whatever.
Clocky even if I was classified as evil, that would be my morality
01:34 INUH @Meo:It's technically flexible in every way. The DM and players, at the end of the day, do what they want.
INUH That's what I like so much about tabletop RPGs.
Clocky ^_^
Clocky I'm having a lot of fun
01:35 Clocky and I'm not even playing yet
INUH As am I.
INUH It's an interesting game to just discuss and prepare for.
Cygan Yeah.
Cygan You know what I wanna do? :/
INUH You know, maybe I should start a campaign. I've had some ideas kicking around...
Meophist CRPGs can't really replicate that flexibility, so I won't attempt to.
Everest If we stick with that Skeleton template, I might tone down some of the undead traits, for balance's sake. I'll have to check, but I have my light off and I can't find my reading light. :<
funnyguts What, Cygan?
01:36 Meophist What is it Cygan?
Cygan I want
Clocky Hmmm?
Clocky What?
funnyguts to rule the world!
INUH The suspense is killing me.
Cygan to have Seren really struggle with this.
INUH Yep. That's a good way to play a paladin.
funnyguts Ah, you're definitely a Roleplayer.
Cygan To have her strugglle with her duty between following her god and doing good to really conflict.
Everest Okay.
Cygan
Meophist I thought that could be interesting in its own right.
01:37 INUH A common alternative is to be completely inflexible as a player. That doesn't lead to a fun game if anyone wants to act differently.
INUH Going back to OOTS, see Miko Miyazaki.
Everest I hate inflexible players, myself.
Cygan I was thinking of Miko, actually.
Clocky I'm pretty flexible...as a player
Cygan But basically, I wnted the opposite of that.
funnyguts I tend to play chaotic good characters all the time. I'm usually a rogue or ranger.
01:38 Clocky Complex characters are always fun...
Cygan Not someone who is totally dedicated to her notion of Good;
INUH I usually go CG, but I decided NG fits me better.
Cygan But someone who is dedicated to the idea of Good in general.
Cygan And her God wants her to follow one type of Good,
Cygan but it's restrictive.
Clocky And good skeletons will definitely conflict her, ehh Cygan?
Cygan Exactly.
01:39 INUH This could get good.
Cygan :3
Cygan Although, it is annoying to not be able to plan plots out ahead :/
Meophist Alignment was more supposed to be a guide than a restriction anyway, at least from what I heard.
funnyguts Cygan: You might want to look into Captain America as a superhero version of that. He's well known for being Lawful Good while fighting against laws he feels are unjust, no matter where they come from.
01:40 funnyguts He's kinda the anti-Miko.
Cygan Yes.
INUH Well, anyway, if I started that campaign I mentioned, I'm thinking it'd be a Cosmic Horror Story sort of deal, cobbled together from heavily modified premade adventures. Sound interesting to anyone?
Clocky Always cosmic horror >.<
Cygan Cosmic Horror scares me :/
01:41 INUH Well, it's supposed to XP
funnyguts Maybe. I've already joined one of my friend's Call of Cthulu campaigns, and I'm working on getting a job right now so I can't commit to anything.
Everest One more thing about the template, because that's a path that I really wish to continue exploring: some of the undead traits are pretty broken for someone of our level (immunities out the ass and some strange setbacks, such as not being able to heal through normal means).
Cygan Hey, so am I!
funnyguts If I could, I'd ask to join this group...
Cygan You can.
Cygan Hmmm
01:42 Everest But he's busy, unfortunately.
Cygan Do you want to place restrictions that will fall off at later levels, when it's more balanced?
Cygan Ah.
Everest And INUH, if you want we could incorporate some of your story ideas with some of mine.
Everest I tihnk, instead of all of those immunities, +4 to saves against all of that type of thing.
01:43 Clocky Is that dethknight option still open? or was it open at all?
Everest It might be a hassle for you to be a part of too many games (you'd tihnk I'd know, with this being my third current D&D game, and all)
INUH Maybe someone who's in the process of being undeadified and hasn't quite finished the process yet?
INUH @Everest:Maybe. I'm still thinking about it.
Everest Sure.
01:44 Cygan Deathknight?
Meophist I don't think I've actually been too interested in RP until the snuggling thread to be honest, but...
Cygan That could be really interesting, actually.
Clocky Could I see the link again Cygan?
Clocky ^_^
Cygan http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Death_Knight_(3.5e_Prestige_Class)
Cygan ^_^
01:45 Everest I'm feeling iffy about it because it's not official. But then I'm writing up a template right now, so it's probably a decent option. When you qualify for it, of course.
Cygan Here's my thoughts:
Everest I think it's non-official.
01:46 Cygan It would be a good RP opportunity.
Everest Yeah, but that's not necessarily reliant on the Death Knight part.
Everest Not tha tI'm making a strong objection or anything.
INUH I think the Skeleton template is definitely a good start for now. Later decisions can come later.
01:47 Everest Yeah.
Meophist You want something that'll counter your paladin, right Cygan?
Everest I'll post the skeleton PC template, in full detail, in the discussion thread.
Meophist Not combat-wise, but in different ways, I mean.
Cygan I was actually looking at the Death Knight page.
Everest Also, cleric might be good, since they can still take necromancy and can use inflict spells, which heal undead.
Cygan One of the ideas on there was
01:48 INUH Hm. Again, regarding my campaign idea. Have any of you bought/read much stuff published by Paizo?
Cygan A Good-aligned warrior, that fell prey to an Evil God, and was turned into an Undead as a result.
Cygan Uh, no, sorry, Inuh :/
Everest @ INUH: Who?
Meophist I never heard of Paizo, sorry.
INUH That's good, because I'd be using their adventures.
INUH They used to publish the two official D&D magazines.
funnyguts Hey guys, I'm gonna head off now.
01:49 INUH See ya.
Everest Huh. I'mma work on more ideas, myself. Bye Funnybunny!
funnyguts See you all in the Jammies thread!
Everest See you there,
Clocky See ya!
INUH See you there.
funnyguts Also, Everest, you've spent too much time with Spain Sun.
Meophist See you funnyguts.
funnyguts Bye!
<- funnyguts has disconnected (Quit: Leaving)
01:50 INUH Anyway, Wizards basically gave them the finger when they switched over to fourth edition, so they switched to publishing stuff under the Pathfinder label, first as a campaign setting, and then as an update to 3.5.
INUH Their stuff is really good.
Cygan :/
01:51 INUH One of their books got up into the 200s on eBay when it was between printings for two months.
Meophist That's quite something, although aren't D&D books expensive in general?
01:52 INUH Well, the default price on this one was $14.99 or something like that.
Clocky Good aligned warrior who falls prey to an evil god, sounds just like something I would do >.<
Everest The core books are around 30 bucks, and supplementary stuff is about 20 on average, I think.
Cygan You would too, Clocky
01:53 INUH Yeah. But of course, all the official 3.5 stuff is out of print, so you'd have to either get them used or through Perfectly Legal Means.
Meophist @Everest: Ah, that's not as bad as I thought. Although my experience would've been some years in the past as a Canadian.
01:54 Everest I might have to give or take five dollars, but that's my guess on that stuff.
Meophist I imagined 40-50 dollars. They may have been that price in the past in Canada.
01:55 INUH @Everest:The label on the back of my Monster Manual says $29.95, so that seems about right.
INUH But yeah, they might have been pricier in Canada.
Everest Yeah. >.<
Meophist @INUH: Is there a Canadian price on the book?
INUH Nope. Not that I can see.
01:56 Meophist Ah, is that so. Well, the dollar's been pretty close recently, so the books shouldn't be that expensive anymore here.
INUH Yeah. I think the Canadian dollar overtook the US one awhile ago.
01:57 Everest Okay, I'm tired as fuck right now. I'mma head to bed. CiaoÞ!
Meophist 'Night
Cygan Night
Clocky night
INUH Night.
<- Everest has disconnected (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
INUH And then there were four.
Clocky 4
01:58 Clocky Sooo....
Meophist @INUH: Yeah, right now 1 CAD is 1.01143 USD.
Cygan :3
INUH Thought it was something like that. Still pretty close.
Clocky ^_^
01:59 Meophist I remember when I had to pay more for games because the dollar was significantly lower. I'm glad those days are, for now, behind me.
02:01 Meophist In any case, I've found the amount of randomness in P&P RPGs rather weird since being so used to JRPGs.
Meophist It does make things more interesting though.
02:02 Cygan Yeah ^_^
INUH You know what, I'm going to tell that evil campaign in-joke I mentioned earlier. I've got time.
Clocky Randomness?
Clocky Err
02:03 Clocky Go ahead with the joke
INUH So, basically, we were doing an evil campaign. And one of the guys in the campaign decides his character wants to sleep with our female player's character.
INUH So he tries a diplomacy check to get her into bed. He fails.
<- Chagen has disconnected (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
02:04 INUH Then he tries an intimidate check. Success.
Cygan :<
INUH A few years later, they started dating.
INUH So what we'd tell everyone else, out of context, just to confuse them, was "he raped her. Now they're dating."
Cygan ...
02:05 INUH And then refuse to explain it.
Cygan That wasnt all that long
Meophist No it wasn't.
INUH Nah. But I didn't wanna tell it while we were actually playing.
Meophist Makes sense.
INUH Also, I'm lazy.
Meophist It was amusing.
02:06 INUH Meh, I guess it was funnier if you were there. In-jokes always are.
02:07 Clocky in-jokes are always funny to the people you're :"in" with
INUH Yeah. I guess.
INUH You know, come to think of it, I've got a non-inside, non-evil joke that's much funnier. Not sure why I didn't tell that one.
Meophist Sure
02:08 INUH Right. So I'm DMing a (good, this time) campaign. The party is sneaking into a fishery.
INUH So they're on the docks, and they notice that there's a shark in the water under them. So they want to be careful.
02:09 INUH And then they see that the villain is sitting right inside a window, facing away, reading a book. But there's a gap they'd have to jump.
INUH Naturally, one of them tries to jump through the window. His jump check was just enough to make the gap, but not enough to get through the window.
INUH So he crashes into it and falls into the water.
02:10 INUH Not the best way to mount a stealth attack.
INUH Meh, I suck at being entertaining. Someone else do it.
Meophist No, it wouldn't be.
Meophist Ninja'd
Meophist I'm being a little slow at typing.
02:11 Clocky Well, only 4 people now
Meophist I don't really have experience with any P&P games, so I don't have any stories to tell in that respect...
02:12 Cygan And I' doing my ed, so...
Cygan bed*
Meophist ...and any other stories I have to tell aren't all that interesting, now that I think of it.
Clocky Huh O.o
02:13 Clocky ...
INUH You know what? It's 1 AM, I need to make the drive back to school tomorrow and my stories are boring. I'm just going to go to bed. Night.
Meophist Good night.
Clocky Night
Meophist I think I'll be going to bed myself too.
02:14 Meophist So 'night.
Clocky Night to you as well ^_^
INUH Night.
