BTW, has anyone heard from Jen? I haven't heard the latest if there was some. I miss her.

I'm out for a little while. I need stuff for my pumpkin soup.
Congrats guys! *bounces*
I am back on track with posting :D ...I found that school computers actually are useful.
Most oft-posting days...Tue, Wed, Thur...between 11-2pm...plus occasionally on Monday and Friday late nights.
There be an edit though
happy b day derkar :D
And no message...
May your day of birth be happy o darkar one.
...and btw what is Guy Fawkes Day?
Guy Fawkes was a guy that tried to blow up the British Parliament, but failed. So today they burn effigies of Guy Fawkes.
I think they do something like that here at Reed, but if I've heard correctly they burn George W. Bush ones...
There's also been a bit of disorderly behaviour at one celebration in New Zealand this year.
This page gives some of the details of the "Gunpowder Treason and Plot," to quote the poem. I warn you I can't speak for the accuracy of all of its speculation, but the facts are generally in order.
I'm going to rewrite the poem a little bit, however:
"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November,
The day when Darkar was begot,
May this birthday's season,
Be welcome for good reason,
And never be forgot."
Okay, it's not Keats, but it never was to start with. :P
Happy Birthday, Darkar.
I'll see you all tomorrow for the full stretch though. :D
Happy B-Day Darkar :D
Oh and I just got back from seeing the Matrix Revolutions. :D
Its a very good movie :D (and thats all I'm saying about it. :P )
'ping'
Lands on a bell.
I made it!
;)Anyway, time for bed if I want to look intelligent and interested in class tomorrow. Good night, everyone.
I just got back from seeing Matrix: Revolutions as well. Good stuff.
Ten pounds of books = generations of sustenance for the mind.
As long as you'll continue to survive the short term, you've still made the better longterm investment.
No?
Still, some of those books will entertain me over the long winter to come (every year I pray for a snow-in, impossible a dream that might be) and the others take care of half my Christmas shopping. Not so bad a way to spend money, all in all.
I can't remember which philosopher said that when he has money, he buys books and when he has money left after that, he buys food. It'll come to me.
Let's not go there.Just popping in for a spot. I found out today that I have already attained a passing "C" in all my classes in points...the rest of the semester's work is all profit from here ^_^.
Enough patting myself on the back, I may yet pull a mucle doing it so oft.
Later all!
and...
LONG LIVE RUBBER-BABY-BUGGY-BUMPERS!!!!!:bounce:
Anyway, I'm off for a run. Back in 60-90.
And not just for the quote, either. Whew! Five rounds... wow.
I have to get out of the house for a bit, to tend to a few things that I've put off for a few days. Not sure I'll get to post much tonight, if at all, but I'll try to pick it up a bit for tomorrow.
I'll try to get on later tonight if I can't then I will tomorrow.
Later!

For the Manticore muggers: Burleg has proposed a plan at least worthy of consideration. Should you want to go for it, I want to make sure you have a correct picture of the situation: several of you are hiding in the tall grass 10 ft. away from and below the lair, with a 45° incline leading to it (no climb check needed to get up this, but it's treacherous because it's overgrown with roots and vines). The opening to the lair itself is circular, with a radius of 8-9 ft. The net is large enough to cover that, but it's not a completely trivial matter to get it up there.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with, after I've had my beauty sleep. G'night folks.

The University of Oregon's mascot is Donald Duck. In my humble opinion, its fight song then should be:

Quite right, ST. It was debatable in 3.0, but from rereading the descriptions of Tumble and Charge, not even that in 3.5. Good call.

In this city, you're more likely to have arguments with a certain TN cleric than with any of the CG characters around.

I'm lurking for now, I'll hopefully catch up with Gamis later to continue Da' Vane's hunt.
Have fun, and get well soon Ran!
So here it goes.
My character (whose name I have not come up with yet) was born far away from Garic's City in a small village. He was a happy child however, soon this was disrupted when a band of orcs attacked the village when he was seven and killed most of the adults.
The orcs with some strange logic took almost all of the children as slaves. They were taken deep into the earth to the filthy caverns of the orcs where they were worked mercilessly for almost eight years, and for eight years (insert name of hero) worked as a slave. It seemed to him that he would die in these flithy caves without ever seeing the light of day again. This was fortunatly disrupted when another band of orcs went to war against his captors. Do mainly to his recklessnes and quick triger finger, he managed to escape during the confusion.
On his way out he managed to aquire some food and water. He quickly became lost in the deep caverns of the world and after several weeks he was on the brink of starvation. In his delerium he stumbled into a dwarven mine and was quickly discovered. The small clan of dwarves found him half starved and took pitty on him, sending him safely to the surface with plenty of food, water, a sword , and some money.
He emerged in a great city, and was swept away in the flood of choivel which had been denied to him, quickly depleting all of his funds. With nothing left, and forced to eat garbage, he had to learn quickly, soon discovering his natural talents would serve him well in aquiring the founds neccesary to survive. But the methods of the local theives guild disgusted him, not only did assasinate poor fools who found out too much, they also demanded high "protection" fees from poor merchants and destroyed the businesses of those who could not pay.
Soon his luck ran out and he was fleeing the city persuded not only by the corrupt merchants who he robed, but the theives guild he would not be a part of. Now he has come to Garic's City hoping to lay low and maybe make some money while he is here.
Well thats it, does this match anyone elses story very closely? Comments are appreciated!
Also if this is too cliché please mention it. Also thank you for reading my story.
*
If you want to leave your backstory as it stands, he'd probably be from the east of the mountains, where the more civilized areas of the kingdom GsC is a part of are located. You won't find another city large enough for an organized thieves' guild west of the mountains, since this is meant to be a frontier city. To get to GsC, he will have had to cross the mountains during this past summer, and will probably have come through quite a bit of danger — there's been a good bit of orc activity, as well as some larger monsters, in those mountains over the last few months.
Also, do any of you know where I can find lists of names that would allow me to come up with a name, which is something I am very bad at.
I'm working on the assumption that your character will be male, since you've been using masculine pronouns.
Well, now that I think about it, he would probobly had an orcish name while amoung the orcs, however he is the type that would give it up as soon as he could, probobly taking a dwarven name as soon as he could.
For that to really work he would have had to spend some time with the dwarves in order to gain their trust to be given a name. I just checked the math on my story and the character would be fourteen when he came to the surface. If he spends a couple of years with the dwarves this will let me adjust the timeline pretty easily.
On that note, really any gailic or norse sounding names would work, and on that I think I have a book of scots-gailic names somewhere around my house.
Art gallery for Draconomicon... Cool stuff. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ag/20031108a
Not having a surname is also an acceptable option in this game (Natala doesn't have one, for instance), but I'd be wary of taking a title. "The Foolish" would seem strange — would your character really want to be known as that? — and anything more noble-sounding would make it seem the character was putting on airs, or trying to seem better than he's proven himself to be.
now I'l just put the finishing touches on my character and hopefully be playing pretty soon.Hello!

Sporadically, people would post a link to a fictional www.hothalflings.com and post it in a thread. Especially if chainmail bikinis were mentioned.
A few weeks ago Cog actually bought hothalflings.com and now there are boards there as opposed to formerly nothing at all. There have never actually been any lewd pictures at hh.com, only ever forums.

(Not Scholastic Aptitude Test. Super-Awesome Tensek!)
:flying bear-tackle a la Sana-chan to Rei-kun (from Kodomo no Omocha, neatest anime in the aniverse):
But call me "thou," will you?
Based on lots of reading, I think "thou" is used as the subject of a sentence. "Thee" is a direct object form, I think, and "thine" and "thy"... Well...
I'm GUESSING "thine" could be the "your" form if the word that follows starts with a vowel, kind of like "a / an." "Thine eye" seems easier to say and distinguish than "thy eye." I'm just guessing, though, about this difference.

Don't forget a plushie when you go to bed. They keep away monsters.I'd really like some suggestions for how Maelut can start to get used to the city (places to meet people, get involved with local affairs).
A tall and lean man in his mid-twenties, Maelut’s
brown hair would fall to his shoulders, but several
strings of leather keep it out of his way. He wears
simple clothes, and the only notable features are the
two knife handles visible from his waist. As he goes
around, he can often be heard muttering to himself
about carving methods and the best way to preserve the
flavor of roast venison.
Maelut is used to keeping to himself, he wears a face
toughened by the searing fires of his father’s
kitchen, and scarred by his time in his town’s
militia. After a confrontation with some local
kobolds, he quit the militia and returned to his
passion: cooking. Those that tasted his food were
certain that he used magic to flavor it, but he had
never studied in the mystical arts. These comments
piqued his interest, and he has come to the city to
explore his potential not only as a chef and a
warrior, but to see if he can find someone to show him
how to use magic to improve his cooking and fighting.
Lots of options. Getting familiar with the city isn't hard, just read the begining post of each thread. For your character just trapse about for a while until you meet some PC's.. In no time you be a member of something and counting your gold
Enjoy, and good luck!

Is it all dwarves, or just Aramil? Cause if Burleg is, then there's more gold for the rest of us thanks to dividing him up, as well as taking his portion of the treasure.

And Boirin and Maelut: Do you have AIM? It's not required for play in the game, at all; but most players here do have it, and it helps facilitate communication when it's available. (If you have it, my SN is in my sig. IM me and I'll share others' names with you.)
Thanks also for noticing me Tensek, it really provides a great atmosphere to have people yah for new people. I had school to day so I wasn't able to thank you when you posted.
Well Ran how could I not use your sig patern, it just fit with what I wanted so nicely.
No I don't have AIM, my parents have always had something agains AOL and it rubbed off on me.
One more quick question, are all of the in-character boards only for the people listed at the begining of the thread, or are there some that anyone can post on?
Otherwise, players can post anywhere where their character is, unless the thread itself says otherwise - for example, you have to be a member of the Avowed to post on the Avowed thread.

Heh, I know that feeling...
When I first started playing in Garic's City, I ran a barbarian / bard called Da' Vane (catchphrase "Huzzah!!!"). One of the first things that happened involved him stealing the tips jar in the Last Lich Inn, in frustration of a dull first day in the city, when got him (and me...
) into big trouble, because I posted it having completed the action successfully, rather than as an intention - I got a nice little post modification and PM from the GM at the time (Rorshac, gawd bless his little cotton's... ) notifying me quite strongly about my little blunder...Go out and get your self what ever you need to get a cookin, and Oi'll sample it tomorrow.

Which is tastefully done, btw. Clear, can't miss it, but not an eyesore. Two thumbs up.

Oh, by the way. If I'm cooking to try to impress Marroc, do I need someone to do a profession (cook) check, or can we just RP it out?

Ughhh..im finally back from my exploration of San Fran. I almost died on one of those really steep streets. My buddy made me carry him half way up...I thought I was going to faint!Anyways San Fran is cool during the day (Fishermans Wharf was awseome) But at night, all there is to do is drink. And a man can only consume so much alcohol! Ill probably hit Alcatraz tomarrow but its all in the air. BTW Dillion ill give ya a call tomarrow and let you know what im going to do, as of right now, im hurtiing and need some sleep
P.S. The majority of the people who live in San Fran are wierd.
Oh yea...be careful of the "Bush Bums" those guys are sneaky like ninjas and will pop out of nowhere to scare the girls your hanging out with.
Afterwards, the cutie takes off in a hysterical fright and you are left there with the "Bush Bum" Who in turn will expect a tip. *looks at "Bush Bum" for a second* "You're serious arent you?"
"How much is that?" he asked.
"I don't know. I'll have to ask the attendant."
$26, the attendant told me. "Please," I said, "is there something we can do? He's still in the car, looking for it, but we just can't find it. We've barely been here an hour."
The attendant agreed to only charge us $10, and I went back to the car to make sure my husband's frantic searching hadn't turned up the ticket before I paid.
Back at the attendant's window...
"The manager overheard what you said," says the attendant. "He said to put it through for you for $6."
I paid, we drove out.
"How do you do that?" said my husband. "If I'd done that, we would have paid $26."
"I don't know. Maybe it's my cute Southern accent," I said.

"You don't have a Southern accent!" he said.

And that he can leave food for the Inn while he goes into town to do his own thing?
I'm not sure what you're asking here. Are you asking if you can leave someone else to take care of the cooking while you are off on adventure/assignment/private enterprise? If so, you'll likely have to clear it with Marroc first.
In the interest of leaving opporunities open for your character as they become available, I'm sure he'll try to be flexible, as long as some consideration is shown to your duties. Keep him informed, and I'm sure you'll be able to come to an arrangement together. Besides, you never know when he'll need something. ;)

We had something similar like that happen to us except, it wasnt the bum you encountered, it was the "Dive Bum" He came out of no where and just began singing.

Now how did I miss that earlier? Ah well, I've seen it now. One more strike against Tensek.... You see I just present an honorable and noble facade so that way when the guards come around asking about dead humans I can say it wasn't me, against my character, I have a lot of witnesses...etc.
But more to the point, I think you were the one that communicated with the gnolls the most. and I was one of the ones that poled those skiffs, I wasn't about to be stuck guarding one of them. :D
And we got to kill them anyway, isn't that what you wanted? At least, it looks like we're getting to kill them, so far.

Lots of places sell money orders. The post office is the most common, though.
I'm off, back in 8 hours or so.
No I am not back in Pittsburgh yet. I am still in Texas. But I am using a local computer that they supplied for us. And no I will not be able to use it everyday. I am just glad that I was able to use it today :D

Ran's dice both excited and terrify me. Those are some very high rollers, maybe you should gamble with them ;)
I meant to take a move action (40ft closer to Tensek) before firing on that gnoll last round, would it be alright if I edited that in? If not I can take a 40ft this turn and pepper him with another fletching.
Evening everyone.
Heh heh. And of course, tomorrow is level day. And even if you don't level tomorrow, don't think we forgot you. ;)

Can I conclude from this that if you moved 40 ft. last round, you don't intend to move this round (and will consequently use a full attack action)?

Since the gnoll encounter is nearly finished, I'll try and send the DMs a short update before going to bed. If it's too late, so be it. There's always next time.

Yessir :D
The complication, and it's a big one, is that everyone has a story, and that makes for a lot of storylines that can pull in a lot of directions. How to put them together, rather than having them pull them apart, is the challenge.
Not ruling out kobolds, though. There are a number of ways to run with that, and I do know there were a few out there at one point. One thing at a time, though. ;)
And yeah, that means I'm off to dance again. See you all in a bit. :D
I would probably like to interact with a PC but thats just me.

Hi, all. My apologies, especially to Kai, for my absence over the last couple of days; unfortunately, it's likely to continue a bit longer. I'm sick, sick, sick and just had a very bad experience with a doctor (trying to find a doctor when you don't know anyone in the area to give a recommendation is difficult) — such a bad experience that I demanded back all the paperwork I had filled out and walked out.
The notice on the office door stating "your gas may be shut off in three days due to nonpayment" was only the start.
Well, you know natala, *ahem*

On the other hand, I could extend my sympathies :-\
But you can get it all worked out. You and (Not sure how to...) J got this figured out.
As for now, its a firealarm. So I'll be out for a bit.
Darkar,
Well i may have looked like a zombie yesterday, but im very confident that my boyishly good looks are what got me off early.

There are several Waterloos worldwide though.

We get mostly ice, sleet, and slush. Then the fools who do not know what snow is call that snow...... that is really irksome. Plus they think it is cold as well. The heaviest jacket I ever put on is a medium jacket not a heavy winter jacket which I had for winters when I lived in the Chicago area.
Too bad I've got to read, class is in 1 1/2 hours and I've got 120 pages.
I feel happy :D. I woke up at 700 today, and with a breath of fresh air hinting of light rain, soundly rolled over until 830, at which time I rolled over until 845. When I got up, sniffed the rain, and took a shower.
Today has started gooooooooooood...
Natamamma, how's that doctor hunt coming?
Now I just have a few RL things that haven't been done because I was so sick, and then I can come play in GsC again. :D
Question for everyone with anything to share: any word from/on Anaya? I'll be sending her an e-mail, but it'd help if I had some info already.
I believe she was going to California for thanksgiving tho.
I'm bringing in the hunting party at accelerated rate from here on. No sense in lingering, that can only result in last minute character demise ;) . I'm not sure how the final stage will work out, but at least everyone but Anaya can join the normal goings-on in the city again.
It's been fun

See, I agree. Even if a group manages to survive a trip out to kill the big bad Underwater Basket Weaver, it's no assurance that they'll have supplies/strength/luck enough to get back home.
It's one of the unrealistic things that bothers me about d&d.
Yes, I know there's others, but this one annoys me.
Don't ask me why.

Don't.

I won't deny the somewhat hasted return of the party is in part due to RL breathing down my neck, but rest assured that I still roll dice to determine random encounters and the like. If the dice told me you'll be meeting a coven of half-fiendish annis hag liches or something similar, you'll all have your shot at last minute demise and the rate at which the adventure enfolds will probably increase to lethal speeds.
Fair warning.
I'm off to bed, I'll post a detailed list of everything recovered on the adventure tomorrow in case anyone needs it.

The first few days will be slow going as the DM running it has a lot of stuff that needs to be done over the weekend.
It will be mainly set up. The real fun will start next week.

The word "orc" (from orca ) has its original roots in the time of Solomon. Back then, the word referred to any powerful king that despoiled altars.

I feel it is because some people feel that learning is bothersome instead of an adventure or fun. I loved learning things, I went on my own durning the summer and learned new things at the public library since we rarely got to take vacations. Of course I was never really good at remembering the dates of when it happened but I could tell you what happened and how it affected things.
I thought I'd just let you all know that I honestly didn't know what "Waterloo"was. It was never taught too me .oO( Or at least I dont think it was) And it has nothing to do with me thinking that learning is bothersome. I may not be the smartest person in the world but im not dumb. I apologize for paying more attention to sports in high school rather than books.(Gamis can attest to that)
P.S. Thank you Ran for explaining it too me. Its hard to know things like that, when a person like me had to attend to an embarassing U.S. Educational System .
Well Hello all, Character #4 on deck
See you in a while
. And im definatly not ashamed Ulerian, just mad:headexplo:.Oh yea BTW nice ta meet ya Ulerian, glad to have ya aboard:D
As for less useful things, like math and writing...
EDIT: wow...I misspelled "orc" in that post. Hip hip hooray for contradicting myself.
When it comes to whatever deals Anaya made with some of the characters involved, for the most part I don't know anything about them. You can jog my memory and I can try to work something out in Anaya's absence, but I'm not making any promises.

I must object. A hag is a witch-like creature. Witches are known for having relations with the Devil. Hence, half-fiendish is more in keeping with the lore. ;)

[Eep: I did it again!]
Hello Everyone :D
Kal, although I'm somewhat reluctant to do it I'll NPC Anaya if that's what it takes to allow the other players to get involved in GsC again, since no-one has any idea of when we'll see her again. However, I don't know the individual arrangements she made with all of you. I can track them down, but that'll take time (and they still might require more player action than I'm comfortable taking for someone else). It'd be helpful if anyone who wants something from Anaya let me know exactly what. A general question like "Now what?" doesn't give me a lot to work with. ;)
The only thing I do remember quite clearly is the arrangement that was made with Anaya. Something about 500,000 pieces of platinum, 50 magic swords, and two pet dragons, properly broken in. ;)

Still, selling off those goods should net a modest amount.
EDIT: Verinal told her to tell you she was recruited, so I assume some reward will be forthcoming. Not my decision how much though. Besides, if Anaya bats her eyelashes at you and hands you 1 gold each, you've got no grounds for complaints.
Hello, gang!
I would like to apologize for things I might've done to upset you all. Whether you forgive me or not, is completely your choice. Over the past year or so, I have had a lot of issues with things (I won't detail them. Without sounding as if I'm embellishing, there is a bit more than average or what is normal), but because of these issues, my self confidence has been completely shot, so I fail to trust people any more.
One issue, perhaps the main, I had planned on marriage with someone I met online here at WotC. All I can say is, for me, it was REALLY deep, and when I was let down it foundered my heart and my dreams. It was the first time I fell in love - ever. I hope I can get through this, because this is a new experience to me. And now, that this certain relationship has ended, I don't know how to feel anymore about anything. I used to write, be creative, enjoy life, spend time with friends, etc, but now I don't.
On the home front, my friends here have noticed a change in me - for the worse. "You used to be a happy and an optimistic person, but now you are mellow and melancholy! What happened!?" Some are worried about me, but unfortunately, I don't have the motivation to change now. That may seem bad, but I just don't. I want to have the motivation to change but I can't or I don't even want to. I can't pinpoint how to become motivated now.
This all leads into my present status with people. Because of this, I have put up walls around myself to prevent being hurt the way I was hurt before. It was that much of an impact on me, to where if I don't fell I'm "part of something," even the slightest tinge, I shut the door, not out of spite to the other party(s), but protection. If you all felt I was being arrogant, proud and ignoring you all, I hope you do understand that I never meant to spite anyone or hurt anyone. I hope you can kind of see what I'm trying to say.
I know that I may never come back to Garic's City here, but I feel I needed to explain my side of the story a bit better, and hopefully none of you bear any ill will. I have a cousin who is a licensed psychologist. I have talked already with her. I may be suffering with "severe depression."
I hope you all know that I bear no grudges or ill will and I appreciate all the help you offered me. It is nice to know that a community, such as Garic's City, can reach out to someone and offer their support and inclusion. Because of this, I bear no grudges or ill will. Be it known. Thank you to all (Garic's City) for caring enough to help me through things and get me involved, but I don't have any motivation now to pursue any gaming outlooks until I deal with personal things first that may help me. If you want to reply to this, please use my PM box or e-mail, [email]echatham@avcite.com[/email].
I needed to come here and apologize for my actions though and thank Garic's City for making a sincere effort to get me involved.
Sincerely,
Eric aka Shaf.
Stay in touch

I think everyone can pick what they want up to the suggested 100 golds, I'll make sure the rest is properly converted to cash and distributed. For players who can't post whose characters have a stake here, like Tahlin or Anaya, I'll make sure there is still opportunity to grab a wanted item later.
As I saw you seem to be short circuiting Donn and Tensek'll just be making things more complicated. :P

Not really feeling that well today, so I am taking it easy
And now I have a stack of other things to do.
I'll be lurking.
And for those manticore hunters: don't expect me to come push you out of that grove. You can stay there and talk amongst yourselves as long as you like.
The various threads represent different areas of Garic's City, and this one in particular is the Out-of-Character thread, where you are encouraged to ask questions if you'd like to start playing.
This thread is generally where the players vent or scramble around and joke or anything that is not in character. thank you:D"...what do you mean?"
"Who's in the building setting off the alarm?"
"The alarm?"
"Yes, you heard the alarm ringing?"
"Yeah..."
"You set it off."
"I did?"
"Yes. You went up those stairs and set off the alarm. Didn't you see the 'Stop' sign on the door?"
"Yeah... but I didn't know what it meant."
before heading out the door again.:D
Hi everybody! I'm trying to get back in the Garic's City Groove now that things in my life have settled down somewhat.
And to Maelut and Boirin, do you guys have AOL Instant Messanger?
No Silis, I don't have AOM. As I've said before my parents have something against AOL. But I have been thinking about geting Yahoo if it would make things easier,
won't be back til much later...
Kywyn, please feel free to NPC Shae.

I won't be on much until late on Monday. A couple of peeks today (that's Sunday for me) but nothing much, I'm afraid.

No, that would be if I asked you :P
I hope that was late. You have my sympathies if it was early.
Oh, and a minor announcement:
We will be recommencing Monday lockdowns tonight. It seems appropriate, especially with the boards going offline briefly tomorrow.
Remember, if you have an SN you haven't used since the new boards opened, now is the time to use it, because they're culling the names otherwise.
Gak. Just realized something... one second...
;)The SN prune has an added consequence: it'll allow me to recover SNs I've lost the password of and for which the e-mail address expired as well.

Other than that, though, everything's fine — healthy mother and baby. So I'm under orders now to eat anything I can, and not worry about nutritional content.
I'm also feeling a lot better now, so I should be back in play tomorrow, after the grand unlocking.
Anyways boards are back up :D *Does a little dance*
Hello Everyone :D
I'm glad you are feeling better Natala. It'll be good to see you back.
I'm out for the evening folks, don't get caught flatfooted when the fake jackals attack, ok?

I would like to apoligize for me not being on much this weekend. This is mainly because I went to a party and a Tiako drum concert in Berkerly, on Saturday and Sunday respectively. They both lasted about 2 hours more each than I expected, but I will be posting somemore this week.
Sorry folks in my adventure

Actually... Whenever I walk by a candy bar, my whole body screams, "Poison! Don't eat that!" Which is part of the problem: that's true of many foods right now. :embarrass

Given that the only thing I consistently find appetizing right now is strawberries (doesn't this baby know it's winter? :P ), I don't think any of those will be an option. If I started seeing them that way, it would be time to check for an iron deficiency. ;)

I don't think ST is a debater. But he does like to argue. Is that good enough for you? :-p
I don't think prestige classes are off limits. Most of them at least. But you have to have a good IC reason for taking one.

Are those debate leagues you mention high school or college? Most of the players here are out of school. (Though if I'd realized sooner that you were going to be in Chicago, I'd have tried to arrange to buy you lunch or something.)
Kneyejailb, I still think I'll be back online later to share my notes with you, but I'm not feeling great right now (What, again? No one expects the Spanish Inquisition), so it'll be a while longer.

Two isn't so late. Three is late. Four is late - to me. You stay up till past eight in the morning! :P Thank goodness I've not had to stay up past that yet.
Gee, thats sounds like a lame excuse, doesn't it? ;)
Well, the treasure list for Team Darkar is up. I wonder what the reactions are going to be?
Sleep well, ST. You do deserve it, you know.
Nowww... let's look at the pretty shinies he's gone and left behind...
Looks almost like the treasure in a game I'm playing on another site. Course we aren't done with the adventure yet. :P
Besides, I'm not sure what they'll keep. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Silmarwen can also craft magical arms and armor.
Hmm... then again, maybe I'd best phone when I'm awake. I'll need to attach a note to the computer to remember, I guess.
Ok... not the split-the-treasure math, but the idea...
Ah, my relief is here. See ya!
Good adventure guys, btw. ^_^ (Although its a good compliment, the treasure had nothin ta do with how much fun I had reading and posting in that adventure.)
Looks like I got some work cut out for me...let's see...what day is it in the city?¿?
:D
Wow, I can hardly believe we are back to town. :D
And that treasure list is indeed expansive. Here's hoping we all want different things so it can work out smoothly, or that it works out smoothly anyway.
ST: Email incoming with my requests from the treasure list.
I hardly know what to do now that I'm back in the big city.

Present day, ST caught us up in the timeline.
:D
:bounce:
That's soooo cute!!
Of the gifts given in gratitude:
- Masterwork longbow: Ran
- Wand of Detect Magic: Mirielle
- Masterwork chain shirt: Natala
- Vial of silversheen and potion of bless weapon: Juste
Of the treasure recovered:
- Juste keeps his sword. I'm not counting it in the gp value that gets divided among the characters and with the guild; it was his in the first place, after all.
- Similarly, Ashina's harp goes to her parents.
Of the gold and silver recovered, a total of the equivalent of 1000 gp:
- 100 gp (10%) goes into the coffers of the SSAG
- Each character (Juste, Mirielle, Natala, and Ran) gets 225 gp
For the potion of gaseous form, its market value is 750 gp. If one of these four characters wants it, they may pay 75 gp to the guild and 168 gp, 3 sp to each of the other three and call it their own.
If none of them wants it, another guild member may purchase it for 375 gp; of this amount, the guild will receive 37 gp, 5 sp, and each of the four characters from this adventure will receive 84 gp, 6 sp.
Until someone purchases the potion or it is established that no one wants it, it will be held by the guild.
Thank you.Originally posted by Natala
I thought it might be useful to have an explicit list of who gets what following the adventure. (I still have one over a year old that never got divided. ^^; ) If anyone dislikes any of what I post here, just say so. We'll work it out.
You mean the one where we fought the winter wolf scouting for Khan's forces? Yeah I do not even remember what was recovered there so I could not be of any help there.

I'll be visiting my home state for Thanksgiving. I'll be around and posting tomorrow, but I'm leaving Thursday morning and won't be back until Monday. There's no telling whether I'll post while I'm gone. It seems unlikely, given the amount of family-visiting I'll be up to, but if I leave something undone or a scene unfinished, I'll make efforts to squeeze a few in.
Family! I get to see family. :D See family, and eat all kinds of food that aren't available in this part of the country.

I'm really sorry Natala and Kai. I'm back now though and that means....
:bounce: EXAMS ARE OVER! :bounce:
[/random question]
Please don't send them to me.
I don't like receiving them. They seldom contain anything of particular interest to me: my sense of humor does not align with the usual jokes that are sent this way; my religious views do not align with the inspirational and religious messages that are often sent this way; and I find chain letters of any sort distasteful. Worse still, and what keeps me from just deleting them and keeping my mouth shut, is that my email address is usually visible to every single person you send the message to.
This means that when anyone else you've sent the message to decides to send it on to others on their contact list, it is visible to those people as well. Eventually, these things make their way to spammers, who collect addresses from them. (Yes, I have had addresses that I know were not placed on spam lists any other way -- including my main GsC account -- suddenly start receiving spam after I received a series of forwards. Don't think I'm exaggerating, or that it doesn't happen.)
If you want to send me a message, do me the courtesy of sending it to me and only me -- or of making sure that my email address is not visible to other recipients of the message. (This does not apply to game-related messages, but such are the sole exception: if you need to reach several players in GsC at once about something related to GsC, do it however is most convenient to you. I will have no complaint.)
If you have a list of email addresses for which you occasionally click "Send to All" when you find an amusing/inspirational/general message you'd like to send out, please make sure that my address is removed from that list.
For those of you who know my husband's email address (which is most of you, except those who have just joined the game), all of the above is also true for him.
Thank you. I hope I have not sounded harsh enough to offend anyone, but sometimes it seems that asking each person once, individually, just isn't enough.
Good luck to you in meeting your obligations.And it's good to be back Lucian!:D
You do have a point Natala you have your right to privacy and its a privilege that we get to even see your e-mail so you should be able to decide what you'll be amiable about letting people send you. Oh, god was that me channeling my mother again, sorry about that

Looks at his weight now and wonders.
The strange thing is I ate more food and at regular times when I lived at home. Now that I am on my own I eat less and not as regularly, but I have gained about 40lbs. IMO that is just plain wrong
Exercise is about the same, perhaps I need more now that I am older. *ponders*

Hmm....hope im not missing anything else.
Car accidents are scary. Interestingly, both times I've been rear-ended I was pregnant, last trimester. This is very dangerous, even a mild accident, as it can cause the placenta to detach (among other things.)
So, Darkar, be careful if you're ever in an accident while pregnant, and get checked out right away

Um, thank you Ran, but the bedtime story I told you the other day I actually made up on the spot.
It's odd, but... do Thanksgiving dinners just not taste special when you have to eat it alone?
The pie was good, but it wasn't as good as I remembered. To think I spent all five hours at work cooing, "PIE"!Of course, one minor perk of eating alone means no one has to watch you make a pig of yourself AND it means you can sneak more PIE.
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving! I had a satisfactory one myself! I spent five hours of it with a Bob - no, not you, Birthday Bob - who has pretty eyes. His interesting conversation was a nice diversion from work, mm-hmm.
Bedtime!
I'm tired. Every time I tried to get back to bed, another sibling called. But hey, I got to hear the joyous fury that is Tom Tony.
Yeah, he's my brother's son, all right. :P Very much the impetuous male.
Not sure when I'll be back today. This morning isn't likely, I admit.
The parentals decided that in order to make sure the yams were hot (and to properly melt the marshmallows) they would put them in the microwave.
Marshmallows+microwave=large styrofoam tennis balls.
When they tried to fix this by putting the whole thing in the oven, the tops of the marshmallows caught on fire. But somehow, despite it all, we survived.

Eh... I'm not sure if the goblins are the ones crouching behind a log watching the trail, or that is where I went to hide, although earlier it says that I went behind a tree...
Can anyone read and interpret this better than I can?
Moving steathily further down the path, Tagg hurridily takes cover behind a tree as he spots the goblins.
He isn't sure if they spotted him or not. The four goblins continue with what they were doing.
Crouching behind a log watching the trail.
Tagg is noted to be behind the tree, as you said. The goblins are crouching behind the log to watch the trail, since there is no indication that the subject of the last sentence is different than that of the penultimate sentence.
It could also have been written:
"The four goblins continue with what they were doing, crouching behind a log watching the trail."
I suspect you might have caught it if it had been written:
"The four goblins continue with what they were doing.
"Watching television, and cursing Tharokke as a sellout."
Anyway, I hope that helps. Please pardon the added features on this commentary track. :D

My compliments to you for seeking out a dictionary. I consider a willingness to go look for answers you don't know a positive sign of well-utilized intelligence.
Now, then... to see about the treasures and a final listing. It will shift a few things about here, though -- Darkar was interested in an item and offers a good trade for it.
I did write down the bow wrong, though -- the value is right, but the Str bonus is +3, not +4.
The notebook is updated to up until a week ago now. I should be able to do the rest early next week, probably on Monday. I noticed things have been set in motion to fetch the manticore's blood - if my help is needed, just send me a mail or PM.
Good morning, NaShae.
Tynk, Darkar, Aramil, I shall try to answer your questions sometime this weekend. For now, however, treasure tallies are up. I see a few folks have kept enough funds aside to commission another item or two as well.
[/random link]
nah its not random. Its an SRD and imo much better than the wizards one. Easier to read charts, easier on the eyes, etc. NOt to mention the color which is always nice. And more organized. For example one you click on "skills" form the menu you choose whether you want to view dex reliant skills, con reliant, etc, or alphabetical. Same with classes etc.
And thanks for the new SRD link. It's way nicer to use than the Wizards one.
The ability that governs bonus spells depends on what type of spellcaster your character is: Intelligence for wizards; Wisdom for clerics, druids, paladins, and rangers; or Charisma for sorcerers and bards. In addition to having a high ability score, a spellcaster must be of high enough class level to be able to cast spells of a given spell level. (See the class descriptions for details.)
============
excerpt from the SRD. It mentions wisdom asbeing the ability that governs whether you get bonus spells for rangers/paladins/druids/paladins... I was under the impression it was int for all of the above...
basicaly for each + bonus you have for the key ability, you get a bonus spell? for example +3 int for a wizard would give 3 bonus spells a day for a wizard?
EDIT:nevermind the above i have read the chart and it explains itself.
seems odd that charisma would be a key ability for spell capacity...
Dif question regarding preparation of divine spells (druid/ranger). You have to prepare spells daily the SRD says. First question is how long are those "days" in gsc? I'm assuming it is each game day (2 rl days), but i just want to make sure. Second question is how much time do you have to spend meditating to prepare the spell/s?
Checking in from my parents' place. I might get back to my computer tonight and have some time to post, but I'm not counting on it.

Basically, yes. But as the chart shows, the spells are spread out over different levels, so you may not yet be able to cast all three (A first level Wiz with a 16 Int would get three bonus spells, but can't cast the 2nd or 3rd level bonus spell yet). Then again, I noticed there's some confusion amongst the players and DMs I know about whether or not those bonus spells per day count as spell slots - if they do, you should be able to prepare/spontaneously cast lower level spells with them. I personally allow that, but the magic system isn't my forte and I don't carry any real authority here anyway. I suggest you check with the DMs.
Your assumption is correct. Spell preparation takes an hour for all spells (both for divine and arcane casters), but you can choose to leave some spell slots unprepared to fill in at a later time, in which case you only take a proportionate amount of time (if you only prepare 6 spells out of a possible 8, you need 3/4 hour). Arcane casters require 8 hours of rest, but can prepare whenever they want. Divine casters need no rest, but have to choose a specific time of day and always prepare spells at that time (or as soon as possible after that if they're prohibited from doing so). Spontaneous casters obviously don't have to prepare spells.
I now melee combat is strenous but I'm unsure of ranged attacks
But maybe a more knowledgeable DM could give us a definate on that.
But there is always plan "B".
Get ready for Aramil with his two attacks per round now :D
And congrats to the other levelees :D
*takes out list*
Aramil
Aric
Kal-Zakkath
Maelut
Ran
Thosar
:D
Aric's going to have Str 20! Well, once he gets his level restored. Evil beware!:DAnd yeah, Aric is more monstrous than ever, isn't he? If he decides to spring for gauntlets, let's see what he does with that +1 greataxe:
Normally: +16/+11 attack, 1d12+12 damage
Raging: +18/+13 attack, 1d12+15 damage
Yeah, be quaking in your boots, folks. His average critical now does 55 hp of damage, or 64 damage if he's raging.
And that's without the Power Attack, which he is more likely to spring for with that kind of attack bonus. Going all out and getting lucky with all rolls, he could do as much as 117 hp of damage with one shot.
Say goodnight, Gracie.
Aramil,
Aric,
Kal-Zakkath,
Maelut,
Ran,
Thosar...
Congradulations and keep up the good play, er, work... :embarrass
Or...maybe a hat. A non-magical hat. With a feather in it.
Congrats to all the other levelees!
She sends her greetings.

I am fatigued beyond all measure. I'll make Maelut's edit, and go home to bed. Night, all.

Um, I don't think so. It's more to help you convince the critter to not eat you.

past -e
present -a

Examples:
amin elee = I saw, amin elea = I see, amin eleuva = I shall see, amin eleaya = I would see
* two or more conjugated verbs may exist in one phrase as long as are not strung together.
* use unconjugated verbs when stringing more than one together
Examples:
amin irma quen I desire to speak

Part of the joke of the last few weeks is that Avalon has kind of stalled in the last year. Strips appear in bursts, then there is silence for a few days to a few weeks or months. But it will eventually reach the conclusion.

What makes this more impressive are two facts:
1. Those numbers don't record visits to the gameworld boards or the Rec Room.
2. Jedi's post count is artificially inflated.
Beating Cog is going to be a tough one, though, even though he likewise loses out on his post count with his posts to gaming boards as well.
But Shae will find a way, I'm sure.
Thanks for the encouuragement, by the way. Hehe. See you in the morning! :D
I guess that means I can put my ten minutes here to good use.

Not to belittle anyone's monumental achievement, but that wasn't true before the boards -> boards1 move, and afaik post counts got transferred during that move. If anything, that more or less assures that those who were on top before the move will stay there (barring use of the Force ;) ). Still, I log on at all kinds of hours and it's extremely unusual for me not to find NaShae online as well. Even if her registered posts no longer reflect it, she's probably here as often as any two other GsCers combined.
Goodnight...Wow, that's not for another... three hours and some here. Short days indeed.

I ask myself that at least once a week. It's an unanswerable question until after I've had my first cup of coffee. The day I have to ask myself 'where the heck is the coffee?' is the day they'll have to come and put me under surveillance 24/7.
That's great! I wander around wondering where I left my bra almost every day!It's the Monday after a long weekend so I'm going to be busy as all get out.
Oh wait, its lockdown day isn't it? Yay!

I'd say Thosar did a fair amount of cleric stuff and fighting stuff this last level. Hmmm. I'll have to ponder on this for a while and see which way to go.In either direction though, I still get two attacks per round! :D

As far as I know official time is Pacific Time. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Our DMs are all on Pacific or Mountain time (though one has a very odd schedule :P), so lockdowns operate more or less according to midnight-to-midnight for those time zones on Mondays.

Only few weeks and I will return. Woohoo! :D
I remember this old cartoon...after a nintendo game. It was called Zelda, and one episode had the King, Queen, Princess, and the hero (Link) washed out of the castle by a rush of water.
Link says: "Now that was a 'Royal Flush'."
First pun I ever appreciated, but it begs two questions; With the lack of plumming, was there such word as 'flush' used in that conntation?...and did they actually play pocker in midevil days to know what a "Royal Flush" is?
I will forever ponder that...
*Poof!*
Well, okay, no, History Bites made up that last part, but it does give you an idea of how innovative they were considered to be when introduced.
Since I can't tell you how old poker is, I can't answer your question about the Royal Flush specifically. I do know that the word is used similarly to the definition for the term flush where it means to be even along the same level or plane, though.
So the local arcade saw some discontent yesterday. A few folks complained about the cost of games, and started a local riot. The police had to be called in, and they came prepared for the worst -- body armor, tear gas, riot shields and helmets...
It turned out to be quite the overreaction.
After all, they faced only token resistance.
(Yeah, I'm still ironing the bugs out of this one.
)I used to think they were ok and then I hung out with a group of people that would make puns out of everything they said. They were still funny for a while, but not after a few weeks of constant (often bad) ones.
I also seem to recall a famous quote that says something like "Puns are the lowest form of humor". I agree with that.
To be fair though if a pun is funny I'll probably laugh at it but if it's a stretch, I'll just stare and blink.
:thumbsdow :P
hopefully it shant cost me my pc :sad:

I also recall a wit (Spider Robinson -- obsessive paranomasiac) who wrote that alcoholism is what happens when perfectly good spirits wind up in the hands of amateurs.
While I do not agree with his sentiment, the statement does apply aptly to puns. They are only the lowest form of humour to those who a) do not work at creating them, or b) are too dull-witted to tell the difference between a composition and a children's scrawl.
I cannot hold the opinion of anyone unqualified to craft a pun or appreciate its worth in high regard -- like all forms of ignorance, it is nothing to crow about.
And that's all I have to say about that, unless Thosar wishes to say something even more foolish after this.

Considering the number of people who chimed in to agree with me after I made that post, I'd suggest to you and to everyone who sends forwards or chain emails to remove all addresses you have gathered from this game from your list of people you send mass emails to.
I don't care who you are. I don't care if you "don't ordinarily send messages like this." I don't care if you consider people you've met through this game to be friends beyond the fact of being part of the same group of gamers. Unless an individual has let you know that they enjoy reading spam (which this is, even apart from the way it contributes to commercial spammers, as I detailed in the post linked above), I still suggest making sure to remove all players whose email addresses you have learned through the game from your mailing list.
This game is not here to provide you a ready-made mailing list for chain letters, be they forwards, inspirational poems, prayers, or even gaming humour, any more than it is meant to provide a mailing list for commercial solicitations.
Just so you don't feel singled out, Anaya: This is not all aimed at you. You are merely the latest offender; despite the mention of your name, it is aimed at everyone to whom it applies. I'm making my declamations on the subject public henceforth in hopes of being able to quit having to make them one at a time.
HOTTIE ;)Down Boy!
More and more demands on my time, and I find I'm too tired to do much of anything besides school lately, with two more projects to finish and exams coming up in January. I'm contemplating dropping out of GsC for two months or so, to get back on my feet again. I'm not decided yet, but I think it'd be for the best. I'll let you know how it turns out soon.
Whatever the decision, I still check my mail regularly so if I'm needed for anything you know where to find me. I'l definitely have a look at what to do with the Notebook, and I'll put some work into converting the manticore treasure to cash as well.
Anaya, I am sorry to single you out, but you are the only one who has forwarded/mail-all'ed me these spams. I look at all of them, but I just don't have time to read them, nor the drive.
Natala put it perfectly about religion, humor, etc...It's all just spam. I do not mind personal e-mails, just NO MORE SPAM.
Make that my own public request to all about spamming my mail on a list with a bunch of un-knowns.
Thank-you in advance for your consideration.
But as we all know, Life happens.I know about that whole "life back on track" bit though and you gotta do what you gotta do.
I don't even expect to need that much time before I'll be able to be here somewhat regularly again, but with my exams coming up, it's probably better for me to include those in my boards-free period. If I don't draw the line very clearly, I know the future will hold many a failed Will save for me (I just don't have the character to set the right priorities). Besides, the last few days I've wanted to get involved again but simply wasn't able to, and I've been getting frustrated over that. I'd rather not attach bad feelings to the incredibly good experience GsC has always been for me.
And it's only two months. Time flies. ;)

(And time to 'fess up: the reason that list is so long is that I'm well behind on doing the things I've said I'll do behind the scenes. Took the time to list them today because I was having trouble holding any thought in my head for more than a few minutes, all day. :embarrass)

We decorated the Christmas tree this evening. Set it up yesterday, and the cats were so excited we decided to give them one night of climbing it with nothing breakable on it, in hopes they'd calm down.
This morning, we found they had arranged their favourite toys under the tree, very much like presents.
Since our current apartment has hardwood floors, all bets are off on how many ornaments will survive until next year. These felines have a pretty good track record on not breaking them, though.

Government.
It seems all economic textbooks designed to educate us are missing something...With all they say about aggregate variables and how each effects our Standard of Life, Cost of Living, GDP (Gross Domestic Product), CPI (Consumer Price Index), Production, Employement, and all of these and their effects on short and long-term growth they forgot one rather importand detail...Deficit Spending.
It seems our economic textbooks do nothing more than define what it is in a short section, but says nothing about it's long and short-term effects. Convienient when Bush spends $500 billion thus this year just to hold up a falling Standard of Life and Failing economy...
I agree with my professor that the effects of such monetary policy implamentations will be felt, deeply and painfuly.
Government...

Sorry, Natala, but your remark about the postal service kind of makes me laugh. :D The slogan that's going to be on our Humanities course T-shirts (maybe design even drawn by me - the teachers really enjoyed an odd picture I drew for them - standard copy and paste URL instructions apply) will be:
"When it's this early in the morning, everything's funny."
Which is true. My siblings and I once stayed up till midnight - late for them - and for some reason we couldn't stop laughing at these miserable Dragonball Z figurines. Something about Piccolo-san and Rogaine and and Super Saiyan Gohan of solid gold and arms popping off - we didn't really understand the next morning the fascination.
Anyway, it's late at night, I laughed at your comment because recently I sent off a scholarship application. Good thing I included no money of any sort in that, because if what you say is true, my scholarship application never made it to its destination.
Well, that would stink.Thirty hours a week is... eight hours more than what I work, unless the driving to and from places counts. Then I work+drive a half hour more, but we'll see if the new route I'm taking up to OHSU shortens the time at all. It halves the distance, but ANYWAY, to get back on topic, your husband, Natala, is most likely studying a LOT more than I am, considering the difference between a Ph.D. and a high school diploma, so I understand it's more challenging for him. I think I'm going to have to go through what he does, too, someday, for my Ph.D. in brain probing.
I can smell your spicey braaains~!
Now I'm rambling, so I'm going to bed now. Goodnight!
Perhaps some of you who read the scene at the Temple of Ordemetrex weren't happy with how it played out last night. All that work, all of the effort of the last few months, the expense, and Alissa does not return. I can see how that could upset some people.
I am one of those people. But before anyone draws mistaken conclusions from that statement, I'm also the one who called for this result in the first place.
Sometimes, the effort to call someone back isn't going to work. I know that's apparent to most people who read the text for raise dead and noticed that the soul had to be willing to return, but it doesn't always get much thought beyond that. I felt, and I still feel, that we could get a meaningful demonstration of that from this matter with Alissa.
It also allowed us to address a few questions I feel are significant ones. Why was no effort made to raise Cog, or Lan? I can see it with Treble after the death of Kirin (and there were efforts made on Kirin's behalf), but what of Arnor (the second time), Esgir, Raen, Slagar, Weehawk, or Zanderat? What's to be done for Ashina? (There are others who were less fortunate, such as Conrad, Kari, Raven, and Talleran, who didn't have people to watch out for their interests in such a regard, but I digress.)
From an OoC perspective, two answers come up -- one is that players didn't have the funds needed for this, and that is an IC factor as well. The second one, the one more relevant to this matter, is that in most of those cases, people knew that most of the players of the PCs named above chose not to have the PC raised.
As things currently stand, I have no problem with no one making an effort to raise characters who won't be returning to play. It's not fair to expect you to have to fork over money for something that you know isn't going to work. ("So it's more fair to expect us to fork it over for something we think might work?" I'm getting to that.) However, the money isn't the only reason many of your characters would have been willing to let the dead lie (or be cremated, as is the traditional means in GsC, at least for those who cannot afford a plot).
The uncertainty that it would work combined with the expense, on the other hand, does adequately explain a certain reluctance to try. So does a reluctance on the part of priests to perform resurrections, or a cultural bias against such efforts, but those things can too easily lead to greater preferential treatment for NPCs (or an awkward disadvantage to characters of a certain culture, a disadvantage that they did not sign up for when they joined this game), in my opinion.
I want the spell to be an option for player characters, where it is possible. Sometimes it's not, but I would prefer that those times involve player choices (even if the choice was to send your character out to do something difficult alone). However, I would also like for there to be a reason why people might occasionally be reluctant to try bringing friends and loved ones back to life, to cover the matter of not trying when another player doesn't want the character back.
It's not a perfect solution, of course -- it may sometimes beg the question why you might raise one character but not another one closer to you. Sometimes, you can cover that issue, but sometimes it's a headache. There is some work being done to address that matter, which I hope offers some reassurance.
However, there is another issue here, the inconvenience and expense for the player characters involved. Resurrections aren't cheap, and this cost PCs between 300 and 500 gps each, despite the number of players involved in the effort. I am sure that at least a few of you are chafing at that loss of funds, as well as what you might perceive as wasted effort. I apologize for that bit of inconvenience, and if you have any further concerns over the matter, I encourage you to bring them to me in private, since I am the one respsonsible for this particular decision. Difficult as it was, it was not made lightly or without good cause.
Please note that this does not mean that PCs will be unable to raise NPCs from the dead in the future. If you wish to raise a familiar, for example, it's not a problem. Others will be decided on a case by case basis, and the best I can do is encourage you to do your research in advance of the occasion, regardless of whether the beneficiary is willing PC, unwilling PC, or NPC. (Measures are being taken to allow you to do just that, but I think that some of you might be able to find alternatives already within the rules.)
Thank you all for your time and efforts. May you continue to enjoy the game.
ST
Frandela, I wouldn't worry overmuch about your scholarship application, and I apologize, because I misspoke. What I'm actually mistrusting is my particular postal carrier, not the USPS as a whole; I've had good experiences with the latter, overall, and there's no reason to blame the whole system for one person's problems. (No, I'm not saying it was necessarily my postal carrier who stole the money in that card. But a mistake was made, and a theft occurred, and I'm not happy about that.)
Just remember to send any money (for college applications or anything else) by check, to help prevent such events. ;)
I do find it interesting that my experiences with RPD have been better better than with service in cities, though.
[RPD = Rural Postal Delivery]
Craving fruit I can see. Even craving strawberries, vastly out of season though they are, I can see.
Craving Fruit Roll-ups (an IMO nasty food that I haven't had in at least 10 years), though...
No... this is perfectly normal, they tell me. I'm nearly four months pregnant, after all.
And would you mind editing that last bit of your comment out, Codrian? I'm still having some mild morning sickness (currently combined with the flu), and that idea is making me feel distinctly queasy. :embarrass
My husband still laughs at my 180 on food while pregnant though -- overnight (literally,) switching to saying 'no' to coffee & chocolate.
. ST, if my opinion counts (given that I've only been around for a few weeks), I think it's great that you're willing to give an explanation for DM choices. It's very frustrating when things happen and nobody explains them, and it's nice to know that whatever happens to my character, there's a lot of thought going into it.
Congratulations on your 3rd place, and there's never a need to apologize for not being around for a few hours. (Unless you told someone to expect you at a particular time, in which case an explanation might be in order.)

Through as always with the explanation as always ST.
However, I will probably get egged or something, but.....
How could you not see that coming?
[ESP]I got the ending I expected here.[/ESP]
Also I did not see this as a wasted effort, but as an axecellent opprotunity kick some undead around.....
What?!? Aric, that is the last speech you are going to write for me after a line like that.
Furthermore it tied up the undead castle for the most part unless Gamis was serious about wanting to permantly cleanse the place and moving the SSAG to new digs :P
I learned a little more about Gaya Hoon the evil/misguided/elf/human/gnome/halfling/half-orc/etc. etc. blah blah blah...........
For my part, the result was a surprise, but I was neither upset about the effort placed into raising the funds, nor the "wasted" funds. Brodda went into this expecting to come out with very little money and is quite pleased to have the funds she ended up with.
Despite magic and dragons and other fantastical creatures and abilities, GsC is played closely to real life. This ending was as realistic an ending as I would wish (almost too much so -- if I hadn't been dealing with a very serious issue with my elder son, I likely would have been crying my eyes out. Very well played. Oscars all around.)

*He stands up, and walks over to him, and pats him on the shoulder, then embracing him in a comforting hug*
The air crushed out of him, Darkar falls lifeless to the floor
MEDIC!!!
- Gamis Pfaebinn (69 hp) Don't let him hit you with that lance. Just don't.
- Aric (67 or 68 hp) He hasn't sent me his level-up details, so I don't know where his total lies. Aric! You can't have 20 Strength until you post the level-up information! It's 20 Strength, lad! You've been waiting for over a year to get this! :P
- Daron Haldar (64 hp) And he's guarding it very carefully. ;)
- Aria (61 hp) Still arguably the hardest character in the game to hit when she concentrates on defense, though both Darkar and Hermy can get close.
- Darkar (57 hp) This is despite have five levels in rogue. Of course, Hermy is about five points behind him, but he beat Hermy the last time they thought. Then again, there was a dwarf on Darkar's side at the time... :P
Honorable mention goes to Burleg Kharn, who, had he not retired without posting his last level-up details, would have shared first on the list, assuming his next level was in the ranger class. If it was in the fighter class, he'd have been Gamis by a hit point.
That's even more impressive when you remember that he's two to four levels below everyone else on the list above.

Originally posted by Boirin son of Naerin
Yah, sorry Silis. I always disliked how spells had to be shouted. I wish there was just a Wisper Spell feat.
It's called Silent Spell.
Whisper Spell could be a feat that lets you prepare the spells at the same level, since it still requires the verbal component, but you could just whisper the component instead of shouting it. Eh, I don't know whether I think it would be a good idea. But, with my attention span, I probably won't....
Oooohh...curry.
What I ment was, a feat that made it so you could say, wisper instead of not making any noise like silent spell. It would be similar to eschew materials instead of being like other Meta-magic feats.
Sorry weird sense of humer and no inflection when you type.
Boirin, how many times do I have to tell you? No ESP before dinner!
You know I'm pretty good at posting when other people do.
And, I started soup in the crock pot this morning (at 4am,) so it's going to be sooooo yummy! :D

Mmmmm. Soup!
I mainly eat beans and rice, tortalini (sp?), or chicken nowadays. Or my curry that only takes 45 minites to cook. But its chineese instead of Indian.

Hey, question. Why didn't Silis get his spell off? I thought he was done casting by the time the gobs got to him.
Sleep is a full round action spell. He started it in the surprse round, and if the goblins had not gotten so lucky with their intiative roll, he would have gotten it off during his turn.
But they were rolling exceptionally good that round. Three of them rolled 20's on their listen checks. And the hit that took Silis out was a critical.
The goblins got lucky that round. And the next one as well it seems.
Well, there is always round three.
Or maybe round four.

:heehee
It would be a DC 0 check to hear spellcasting, -1 per 10 feet from the caster. Sleep, with a range of medium (100 ft. + 10 ft. per level) can stand a decent chance of being cast without being heard, especially if the listener can be distracted.
Now fireball, with its 400 ft. +40 ft/lvl range, that can be cast from beyond hearing pretty easily, if you are able to detect your enemies from that far away, or else detect them close and sneak away. A rogue-based targetting system and the message spell, maybe? ;)

Convienient with our recent $500 billion Bush had spent to hold a failing economy and falling standard of living, (not to mention peace-keeping).
I chose this subject recently to be my major, and obviously there is a need for improvement in the area.

Which kind of luck, I could always wish you the default good luck, but if you want to fail for philisophical reasons then it would be bad luck for me to wish you good luck and have to recieve said good bad luck. Perhaps I should simply wish you luck and hope that the luck turns out to be the luck you are hoping for me to wish for. On the other hand that could backfire horribley and has only a 50/50 chance of ensuring that you recieve the luck you are hoping for. Those aren't very good odds so I'll think about it and sometime later today I'll figure out the most likely luck I should wish for you.

I feel it necessary to point out that while I have not seen the movie (though I probably will because it looks entertaining) it is not accurate in it's depiction of samurai 'culture'. I was listening to NPR the other day and they were interviewing two gentlemen that know about samurai who termed some of what was depicted in the movie as artistic license and not historical fact.
The only reason I bring this up is because I have a friend who is really excited about the movie because he likes anything to do with samurai and I wanted to let him know the facts so he doesn't think the movie is 100% accurate.
Then again, I'm not sure this was worth mentioning because after all, it is a movie.
Note: I am not trying to bash the movie or those that made it. They did a lot of research into the history of samurai and have a lot of 'details' accurate (a small example is the two swords samurai carry, their names and typical fighting styles employed by each). The main bit the two gentlemen on the radio program said was not accurate was how samurai relate to each other and to their lords.
I just checked the NPR website and the two gentlemen were Tom O'Neill, a reporter for National Geographic who recently contributed an article on samurai, and William Scott Wilson, translator of The Book of Five Rings, Hagakure and other samurai classics.

Aside from that, I just don't like the creature design.
Re: Tarrasque, I agree with ST about the bad design. With the GsC characters as they are, they could indeed not make a dent in the thing (it is CR 20 after all), but if they all started running the big T wouldn't even be able to catch up with them either (of course, they couldn't take GsC with them).
If your level is high enough and your equipment good enough though, the Tarrasque is simply not a fun adversary - it can't really hurt you if you're careful, and it's a long and frustrating chore to slowly chip bits and pieces off of it until it succumbs (and then it usually gets up again anyway, so you can start over again).

The fact that it can't hunt down a flyer is also a design flaw, but it's a moot point. The thing is simply annoying.

And no, this is not a warning that I'm going to release hundreds of the things on the landscape of this world either.
In the meantime, I've editted the first post of the Jackals. Some of you might wish to take another look.

Do you have a source? (Sorry, college rears its ugly head, here.) Yes, I asked a friend from French Guyana to translate: "live life and be loved by it." The grammar is not perfect, but I don't speak french, despite my name.

Hmm, hmmm.... My textbooks are at home, naturally, but methinks 'twould be more along the lines of: 'Vivez la vie, et en soyez amoureuse' or 'Vivez la vie, et soyez-vous l'amant de la vie.'
And keep in mind that the definition of a mundane language is relative to where you hear it. I'm in Canada -- French is more commonplace here than Spanish.
Actually, I'm more likely to hear Cantonese than either of the other two these days, but that's not my point. :P
i was working on the animal companion stats, and came across the following:
Hit Dice: 1d8+1 (5 hp)
under the info for eagle, and am thoroughly confused
i think hit dice determines how much hp you gain per level? (in GsC we just take the half each level i believe) and at first you have hp as if you rolled the maximum you could off the HD. So:
QuestioN(s)
1) why the eagle's hp does not start at 8?
2) if the 5 can be altered via HD roll?
3) if answer to 2 is yes, when and how often?
thanks
The average die result is what we use for determining hp otherwise, so it's 4.5 (or 4) for 1d8, 9 for 2d8, 13.5 (or 13) for 3d8, etc. This is before Con modifiers, of course.
I'm on my way home shortly. Good grief, but it's dark out right now.
sounds good
one last question:
do animals face the similar negative hp rules as PCs where they die at -10 or do they die when they hit 0?

Sorry, old Zen story. I don't know if I could explain it properly.
do animals face the similar negative hp rules as PCs where they die at -10 or do they die when they hit 0?
They die at -10, yes. As far as I can recall, only constructs and undead are destroyed at 0 hit points.
An animal will remain conscious at 0 hp, but is limited in actions available. This rule applies for most creatures, with the two exceptions I just mentioned.

I am open to suggestions as to how the French goes however.
I like Sheherazade's first suggestion, because 'soyez-en amoureuse' is rather poetic, but it doesn't translate correctly (it means 'be in love with it'). It'd be a good way to phrase the first part though. Maybe something like: "Soyez aimés par la vie et soyez-en amoureux" which translates literally as "Be loved by life and be in love with it." Translations are usually better if you don't try to do them too literally but take the idea instead and express it as a native speaker (not that I am one) would.
Incidentally, it is 'Love life...' and not 'Live life...' you want, right? Or am I making the wrong assumption? It's closer to your original translation.
I can't stand it, I have to share: A co-worker gave me the ultimate compliment :D I'm soooo happy!

Boirin: added a few overlooked synergy bonuses (to Balance, Diplomacy, Disguise, Intimidate, Sleight of Hand, and Tumble), removed the Shield Proficiency (my fault); added Con bonus to hp total
Mirielle: adjusted Ix's attack bonus, but Miri is short one skill point (the human bonus), feat for Ix
Silis: slight adjustment to description
Tagg: the eagle gets two talon attacks and a bite
Okay, I'm off to sleep shortly.
That you very much!I'm making a PrC for my IRL game and I would like to ask for some help.
The PrC is going to be the 10-level kind and it will be called the Wild Diviner. It's the typical hermit that lives out in the wilderness who most people call a "witch" or somesuch. Their powers focus exclusively on divining while keeping some connection to the creatures in nature (Druid animal companion advancement will stay).
When I say 'divination' I mean all types of divination, including many spells from the Sor/Wiz list and some from the Cleric list. Examples are: Augury (Cleric), Comprehend Languages, Detect Thoughts, Identify, Clairaudience/Clairvoyance, Divination, etc.
With the spells from different lists I was thinking I'd need to create my own spell list but I'm not sure if I should adjust the level. There are some spells that are at a certain level for Wizards, for example, and at a different level for Clerics.
The PrC pre-req's will prevent anyone from taking the class until at least 4th level. So at 10th level we'll be talking about a 14th level character that could have access to 9th level divination spells. Is the sacrifice of all other spells but divination worth an advancement of three levels? (I say three because Sor/Wiz get access to their 9th level at 17th level).
Does this make any sense?
Thoughts?
Originally posted by Thosar Lueque

Well then, you'll want to make Swim a class skill :P.
Seriously, though, that sounds like a cool class. You might want to add some punch for combat, though. What about AC/Attack Roll bonuses when the character is in their "home" area? They have an instinctive feel for the terrain and they see things through the eyes of others, allowing them to react quickly in that area.
I think you're justified in moving up aquiring higher level divination; assuming that the drawback of not getting any other spells is strong enough.
Also, this class has some interesting opportunities for spicing up the animal companion. Maybe allowing scrying on the companion several times per day for higher levels, or an improved empathic link that allows the diviner to link with other animals.
Speaking with animals, and then telepathy with animals might be another class feature at mid-levels.
Possible Class Skills: Sense Motive, Spot, Listen, Handle Animal, Knowledge(all), Search, Survival, Swim
Can use Speak Language skill to learn any language that the character hears/scries on.
Corrected the spelling error, btw.
I like the idea of "home" benefits and in case it's not obvious this class has some roots in the "King/Queen of the Wild" from MotW and the "Divine Oracle" from DotF. The King/Queen class has some benefits for certain terrain types and I was going to use some of their ideas. I'll think about a AC/Attack bonus also. Perhaps some benefits on movement when dealing with difficult terrain in their home terrain type?
I also like your idea of scrying on the animal companion. I could also see the telepathy with animals of a certain type (perhaps the animal companions type).
Thanks for the great ideas!
[EDIT: One more thing, the PrC will have a decent BAB and Fort save because the wilderness is a dangerous place and they live in it. That should keep the balance of the 'no combat spells' thing from being too harsh.
Should be able to post later, but not now. I need a nap.
There will probably be pictures up later, though. ;)
Go get some rest and we'll see you later.
Its hard enough for me to even lvl Kai up on a character sheet. Im such a 3.5 newb:embarrass ALRIGHT Nat!! Boys rock the house...maybe in a few years, you should send him over to uncle Chris's house so I can show him the fine ropes on "How to Be a Ladies Man":D
Thosar, is your idea for the PrC a heavy spellcaster or more of a hybrid type character? Would you consider a "+1 spellcasting level" mechanic with specials to focus into divination (maybe causing them to become diviners and gain additional prohibited schools?), and if there are a couple of divination spells that you feel are essential to the class (but unavailable because of class spell lists), they could maybe be added as spell-like abilities.
For example the Incantatrix PrC uses a mechanic for focusing the character in abjuration:
"School Specialization: Upon becoming an incantatrix, the character chooses to focus her studies on protective and metamagic, forsaking other types of spells. In effect, the incantatrix is a specialist in the school of Abjuration (gaining all the benefits of specializing in a school), and the incantatrix must choose an additional prohibited school or schools using the rules on page 54 of the Player's Handbook (although an incantatrix can never choose Transmutation as an opposed school). The incantatrix can never again learn spells from that prohibited school or schools. She can still use the prohibited spells she knew prior to becoming an incantatrix, including using items that are activated by spell completion or spell trigger. If the incantatrix already is a wizard specialized in Abjuration, she does not need to choose another prohibited school. A bard or sorcerer who becomes an incantatrix must still choose a prohibited school to gain the benefits of specialization."
Early access to 9th lvl spells, even only from a certain list, might not be easy to balance, I would think.
A separate spell list would be good for fousing the spells you want, but wouldn't the caster level be cut down unless you have a special that combines spellcasting class levels? I've found the separate lists work better when the class isn't meant to be a serious spellcaster.
Just some ideas.

That is a most interesting decision to make in one's life. There is a story by Irvine Welsh (of Trainspotting fame) that tells of a man who made the decision I think your friend did.

Congrats Natala!
Whoo-hoo to all the levelers!
Wild Diviner PrC - Why not make an ability to add all Divination spells to the character's Spell List, and perhaps alter when they can be gained, like say 1 level earlier? That way, the character gains 9th level Divination spells when they would have access to 8th level spells (this means that a Bard will never get access to Divination spells higher than 7th level, though can still use the higher-level spells for Spell Trigger and Spell Completion without resorting to Use Magical Item... Likewise, Paladins and Rangers won't have access to Divination spells higher than 5th level... You could then use the '+1 spellcasting level' special ability so common for spellcasting PrCs without a unique spell list.
I think that's everything...

In Argentina it's still not very good voting system, after 11 years. But at least we vote.
I vote "Nulo," I think null or negate is the English word, usually because our politicians are so corrupt it matters not who is in power. So I prefer not to vote for anyone, but if I did not vote at all, I would have to go to the town hall and stand in line with many other people and explain why I did not vote. So the "nulo" vote is the best choice for many.

Goodday
'mornin' all
I do think that the class will need certain drawbacks in order to balance everything out. After thinking about it, getting three advanced levels of spells is way too powerful.
I had thought about making some of the spells spell-like abilities but I would have a rough time determing the level.
My current thoughts are:
- Make a spell list for this class which will be based off of their Wild Diviner level. This spell list will be comprised of Divination spells only.
- Give them +1 spellcaster level at 2nd, 4th, 8th and 10th levels. This will keep them from being too under-powered with their spells in general.
- Class ability "Scry on Familiar" as a wizard. (This will probably be granted at 5th level). This will effect either an animal companion or a familiar (not both) and the Wild Diviner class provides no Familiar or Animal Companion so the character must have one already.
- Class Ability "Telepathy with Animal Type" for either familiar or animal companion animal type prior to becoming a magical beast. (This will probably be at 9th level).
- Class Ability "Divination Enchancement" as Divine Oracle PrC. (Basically it adds the Wild Diviner class levels to the % chance of success with Augury and Divination.)
- Class Ability "Skill Bonus"; +2 competence bonus to Survival skill checks made to survive or find food in their "home" terrain. The Wild Diviner gets this ability at 1st level.
- Class Ability "Wild Mind"; For purposes of Influencing NPC Attitudes the Wild Diviner suffers a -2 penalty when dealing with any creature type other than Animal, Fey, Plant or Vermin; for these creature types the Wild Diviner receives a +2 to the same check. These modifications apply at 3rd and 6th level and stack.
I'm still working on the BAB and Saves table but what do you guys think of everything so far?
Would the class have its on spell progression chart for its class spell list? Or would these be more like bonus spells added to their existing class?
For levels for spell-like abilities, if you wanted them to grow with the character, you could set the caster level equal to the wild diviner level.
Or you could add in an ability that lets their full Wild Diviner levels stack for the purposes of divination spells and spell-like abilities(both normal and those from the PrC). So their divinations won't be worse off compared to a straight core class.
"Add the character's wild diviner levels to the levels of any other arcane (or divine, or both?) spell casting class when determining level-based effects of spells belonging to the school of Divination. This is an extraordinary ability."
The survival bonus is nice to give it flavor, maybe you could have the bonus scale? Like "The character may add his number of wild diviner levels to all Survival checks in their chosen terrain." (Or half the wild diviner level if you feel it gets too much). If it's limited to a certain condition, you could probably get away with a higher bonus. And maybe have Self-Sufficient as one of the prereqs?
For BAB and saves, if you're going with 1/2 caster progression, maybe Cleric style BAB and saves would work? Depending on the specials you end up with of course.
Will this class be concerned mainly with animal signs and omens, or will they be more nature in general orientated, like reading things in the wind and water and plants?
As for the spell list itself, I would go against having any spell lowered by more than one spell level from the lowest PHB class able to cast it. Instead, if you wish to give out 9th level divinations, I would find a way of increasing the requirements so that at the earliest a character can reach level 10, they would normally be able to take 8th level spells. Referring to the PHB, most spellcasters reach 8th level spells at level 15, so you want to make sure that the PrC is only available to characters of 6th level or higher.
Ace'd the final...but lost the curve.
Going into the final I was a full 1.5 points ahead of the second highest grade in the class. His final was 2-points higher than mine, so he stole the curve by a mere 1/2-point. That would have been the first class ever having the highest class score.
I am happy in any case. :D
Let me address the questions one at a time:
By Kywyn:
Would the class have its on spell progression chart for its class spell list? Or would these be more like bonus spells added to their existing class?
...
"Add the character's wild diviner levels to the levels of any other arcane (or divine, or both?) spell casting class when determining level-based effects of spells belonging to the school of Divination. This is an extraordinary ability."
They will have their own spell list, yes, and they will cast spells like a druid. I think I will include the "Add the character's Wild Diviner levels to the effective caster level of any arcane or divine spells belonging to the school of Divination. This is an extraordinary ability." That fits with the idea.
I also like adding the Wild Diviner's level to the Survival skill bonus. I think since it only counts in their "home" terrain type it is restrictive enough. I also like Self-Sufficient feat being a pre-req, I hadn't noticed it.
The BAB and Saves are progressing like a Druid, which I think is the same as a Cleric.
As for how they will get their power, it will be more of a general nature orientation rather than a specific totem idea.
By Da'Vane:

I think this will be the trick. By my calculations from the pre-req's the soonest anyone could start taking the PrC is 5th level. Working from there, I'll just have to mess with the list of divination spells I want and figure out their levels (any of the PrCs I've seen only have spell levels 1st-4th). The list of hopefuls is pretty long and ranges from 1st to 9th level. It will be in a seperate post for discussion.
Well, I've got just about everything else squared away. I'll be posting the PrC to the WotC Prestige Classes board for more review. Thanks again guys!
I'll post the link in a moment.
I've finally gotten to work at further-perfecting the Mystic-Guardian prestige class for Tynk. Thanks to ST and Kywyn for previous inpute that helped me develope it better, and I look forward to any comments on it.
Thanks!
So-long!...Farewell!...We bid you all good-night...
*Goes home to watch The Sound of Music*
Heheh ^_^
*dances some
The musical in my head right now is Strictly Ballroom. I'm trying to remember if it was done by the same producers that were responsible for Moulin Rouge.
Okay, work is done for today. Time to get groceries and go home.
He also did the Sunscreen song, very funny song.
Maybe you will dance the funky chicken at your 70th wedding anniversary.
I was looking at the character descriptions, and I noticed that people seemed to have less wealth than is typical for characters of their level in regular d&d/other online d&d games. Is this an active choice by the DMs, a quirk of fate, a result of my inability to count, or a combination of all three?
Yes, we have less money than most characters of the same level. I've been saving for 5 levels for a magic item and I'm still not even close. Of course, some other things, like adventuring, have reduced my money to make the saving harder.
My current DM does something similar. We are all 12+ level and only one of us has a magical weapon.

...So technically turkeys GOBBLE, not CLUCK, which means I need Globs of Better Bread Like Eden - meaning cookies, of course...
Personally, after all this time, I'm getting fed up with the saving. I still want the item, don't get me wrong, but after this long a wait and I'm still no closer than I was....I'm actually further behind, I'm just at the verge of scrapping the idea.
After this long, it seems pointless.
But yes, I can imagine saving is getting frustrating for you now. Even with the accelerated leveling of 3.0/3.5, 5 levels is a lot.
*is still working up to masterwork funds :D*
I just can't seem to get the money together for them.

First thing 11 am I will be there.
But I'm working on it. I get a lot less out of it than any of the PCs do, though, and I will thank people to remember that before this gripe gets recycled again. The point was made months ago, and it was conceded that there was some legitimacy to it, though not as much as some might believe. For one thing, the levelling process in this game is very generous -- we can't realistically work on a level similar to that in a table-top game, not without increasing the attrition rate to a level most of you would not enjoy.
I will note that having over 20% of the recommended wealth per level despite not facing the recommended level of challenges to reach that level is doing much better than some might believe, and certain people should remember that before bringing this subject up again. Some have done even better than that; a review of the character sheets will show that to be so.
Others, who have offered no complaint, are due for more immediate redress for these concerns. I've got several pretty patient mid-level PCs with naught so much as a masterwork tool, let alone a masterwork weapon. Some are okay with that, but they have been a bit more patient than some more vocal elements with a few magic items under their belt and at least their fair share of personal DM attention.
The point was made. It does not bear repeating. Move on. Means can be found, especially when players can work together toward those means.
I have spent a total of 5 to 6 hours on the phone (mostly on hold,) with MSN's tech support. I still do not have a functioning modem at home. The snippy girl in billing said, "Well, you still have dial up access." I said, "Oh no I don't! I don't have a dial up modem, so that is not an option for me!"
She backed down & promised I wouldn't be billed for this month.
Hopefully the blasted thing will arrive by the end of the week, but they couldn't actually access the records for the replacement order...

If my brains decide to work while I'm away, I may come back with more ideas than I've had in a while. (Which would be good news for a few folks who've asked me to work on something or other, as well as for me.)
And for anyone who needs Natala for any reason, feel free to post to NMS. I'll get around to responding as soon as I can. (No, I haven't forgotten you, either, Tynk. My brain's just not been working. :P) Don't treble yourself, though, unless you're willing to wait.

My love for you is strong,
Like a bell it rings true,
Because it is no choice of mine,
None in loving you.
Just a reminder, though,
I know you will not forget,
My love for you is strong
And is without regret.
Whatever it may take,
All else I do not care,
Your happiness is my goal
That without I cannot bear.
I work very hard…
I do not think you see.
As if what I would
Is a fraction of what be.
…
Silence is profound, a refusal to speak,
The words weighted in gold.
Eyes, they say, “windows to the soul,”
And from there my words unfold.
My anger is mine, I will not share,
Though my look explains it all.
I channel my anger in that stair,
From there my temper will fall.
A heated head cannot think cool,
With a tendency to hurt.
Through pathways of love words
Can make one feel like dirt.
Anger blinds words that are said,
As an old saying would word
A person who speaks in anger is felt,
But the words are not heard.
But to each their own and however they deal
With the pain of having to live.
Pleasures ignored in light of pain,
And all other emotions we give.
It is all a choice, these choices choosing us,
We are whom we choose to be.
Sometimes we deal and others we receive,
But all times we think free.
Rather emotions choose us and reaction are our choice,
“E solo cero tus amor,
Pero amor es solo para tu a dar,
E es alguna yo vivo por.”
Just a reminder in spite of my faults
And wherever I went wrong,
Patience, please, and just a reminder
That my love for you is strong.

Please note that Garic's City will be under lockdown conditions from Monday, December 29th, until Monday, January 5th. There is an event planned, for those of you who will be around, and Noise is always open, but the rest of the city is down for the time being.
For the restless among you, consider it an opportunity to work with one another to prepare posts for release when lockdown is lifted. There's no harm in writing them in advance and posting them sometime after the boards get moving again.
In the meantime, the Information and Rules thread has just acquired a new section. Input is welcome (but not on that thread -- take it to Noise), and I'm sure there will be questions. I'll do my best to answer them.
Morning Garics, hope all is well and all yous with finals are having an easy time of it. &_&
These changes make magical healing from the Temple or Church much more viable, no? Good news for the damage magnets.
24 x 18 for the DC of the D. Waraxe = 432 sp, which is over the gp for the Axe.
24 x 20 for the MW Component = 480 sp, so 48 gp per day. 7 more days?
And I get 16 gp per week now, since I owe one days pay for boarding and food?
However, Boirin's a bartender with no ranks in proffesion or craft, hes not a bodygaurd, does this mean he counts as untrained labor (therefore making 1 gp a week) or as a standard class ranked (making 2 gp a week) income?
Aramil, your income is based on you performing the work for the guild. Keep in mind that the SSAG is not going to pay you to work for yourself, so creating a weapon or shield for personal use is done at your own expense. (Likewise, making it for someone else is at that expense.)
I will remind people that while they will have to put in a day's work to earn a day's pay, they will have some time to themselves in the evening. I know this wasn't always true in RL society, but we have to cut people some breaks.
Now, as to the matter of the axe, I'm seeing a 22 for your check. Aria would boost it to 24, but the last I saw posted, she had left the city in search of someone who could return her sister.
However, let's see here:
22 (check) x 18 = 396 sp in three days for the weapon itself.
22 (check) x 20 = 440 sp a day. The masterwork component for a weapon costs 3000 sp, and that means it will be completed in seven days. So your check modifier was a bit off, but the results are still as you listed them.
As for the heavy shield, the basic shield component is something Aramil can speed up by adding +10 to the DC, bringing that DC to 22 (10 +2 for the AC bonus for a heavy shield +10 for faster work).
22 (check) x 22 = 484 sp = a lot more than the 7 gp for a heavy wooden shield.
22 (check) x 20 = 440 sp = 4 days for the masterwork component for the shield.
Yes, this is a greatly increased rate of production, isn't it? Keep a few things in mind, however. The SSAG does expect at least one day of work a week out of you (one day you can't spend crafting an item for personal profit, whether to use yourself or to give/sell to someone else). Also, being able to produce items at this rate means you don't have to necessarily spend all of your time on manufacture now. Before, it was going to take months of game play to finish a normal weapon, and that was if you were working on it every day. Now, however, you could put in one day in two, spending the rest of the week on guild duties and interaction, and still get your work done in a reasonable amount of time.
Boirin, the class-based earning is for being hired for combat purposes. Right now, your earning is based on unskilled labour, aye. Marroc is throwing in room and board at least, which is something of a bonus.
NaShae, you are correct. As long as you are charging for spells, Hightower does indeed get half of the standard fee. If you charge nothing, however, Hightower isn't entitled to a thing.
This isn't about punishing spellcasters without a membership. The system is actually designed to hit them hardest. (Oh, drat. I do see an error in place. The writeup as written suggests that they all earn a weekly amount just for being members, and that wasn't the intent. I'll need to make a clarification there later.) The idea is to keep spellcaster earnings from completely outstripping those of others in the game.
This will almost certainly happen in any event. The only balances on that are that spellcasters (especially wizards) have pretty high expenses, and that charging for spellcasting will require finding someone to pay the fee -- either another PC or an NPC with prior approval by a DM.
I hope this helps a bit more.
The first point is that I must remind people that elves do not sleep. They trance. There is a perceptible difference. I know that some people describe having their characters sleep for the sake of simplicity, which is fine, as long as people don't mistake the two activities as identical.
The second point is that it should be winter in this game, since we have been following the regular calendar for the moment (and basing it on a temperate northern clime). This would make things like fresh fruit and bees rather uncommon.
However, I haven't updated weather in ages, so I do understand the confusion. There is something coming up that will help with this, but it could take a few months. For now, carry on as though winter has not yet arrived, and autumn is rather mild this year.

They sent it by Air Canada Cargo. Now I don't have anything against the cargo division, but it's pretty darned hard for me to get there, since it's not at the airport. I'm not even sure it's near a bus route, and if it is, it's a long wait for me between busses in winter, I can tell you.
The good news is that they're open until ten at night, Monday to Saturday. I just hope I can get there before the Chinook breaks, or convince a friend of mine to haul me up when we go out of our annual viewing of some film.
Hmm. That reminds me; I'm waiting for the release of that new Peter Pan flick as well. I hope that proves to be as promising as it looks.
Anyway, up early, I went out to grab a walk, and ran into a friend of mine, who was apparently given afternoon leave from the hospital. It seems she's been there for about a month and a half now, and has had a pretty distessing time of things. Hopefully, they'll improve. Still, it made for an exhausting day, and I'm afraid that this one is a write-off too. I must be getting back to bed now.
Oddly enough, the only thing she said, and she kept repeating it, sounded like, "Guo guo!"

How good Return of the King was.
Plane ride at 40,000 feet and after sunset is amazing. And COLD, despite woolies, flight suit, cranial, gloves and helmet!!!
Sleep time, now, maybe some interaction tomorrow. Once I get a good idea of the time that GsC works on.
Time isn't hard...just think of it like this...
Monday: No time exists...time freezes (lockdown)
Tuesday & Wensday: Day & Night (one-day)
Thursday & Friday: Day and Night (one-day)
Saterday & Sunday: Day and night (one-day)
These are respective, so Tuesday, Thursday, and Saterdays are day-time posting...while Wensday, Friday, and Sunday are night-time posting.
Monday lockdown, and 6-day RL/3-day IC.
It's late, and I'm off ta bed.
Goodnight all ^_^

Yeah, I know that feeling, though sitting in the back of a Hercules on the way from Whitehorse to Edmonton was didn't give us the benefit of the view. I wish I'd had gloves. Or anything thermal under the uniform.
The flight from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland was much more pleasant -- a smaller aircraft (twin engine, may have sat forty people) with seats facing each other.
Just a quick post to let you know that I probably won't be around tonight, and to thank Gamis for wrapping up the LLI for me. Muchos Gracias Friend!
Because of that, I might refrain from making any comments about the scene in elsewhere. There was something deeply symbolic about that... let's just say the less mature of us (i.e. ME!) will probably be in uber-smirk mode at the thought of Miri enchanting Gamis' "sword"...
Catch you all soon...
Well, I saw Return of the King last night. It was rather good, but a movie seen alone is never as good as a movie seen with a friend. Ah, well.
It let out at midnight, so I'm more than a little groggy today!
(And they made a corporal as well.
)Boy I'm getting pretty good at not being on when the people I have conversations are on and being on when there few people on the boards.
I've got at least 10 more days to go until I see Return of the King, certainly 11 or more, because I think Evin's going to be a bit too jet-lagged when she gets here to sit through 3 hours and 20 minutes of Middle Earth.
As always Gamis...I am impressed.
GAAAAHHHH!!!!!
This has been brought to you by the college-guy breaking up with someone he thought he loved, or more acurately, thought he was loved by.

In any case, I feel much better now. I do not look forward to the next relationship as it will not even happen. School, that is all I need...and friends.
Thanks for listening to my rant.

Oddly enough, the only thing she said, and she kept repeating it, sounded like, "Guo guo!"
Something you or Hex want to explain to the rest of us, Kywyn? :P
That is strange. Did the girl appear Asian?
"Guo-guo" is the sound a frog supposedly makes in Mandarin Chinese. (There was actually a long list of cultural variants to choose from: http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/ballc/animals/frog.html )
With a different inflection, "guo-guo" can mean 'big brother' in Cantonese too.
She will appreciate it. It's relatively small things of that sort that make us melt.:P
I could use some melting, I'm still cold, even though I spent most of my day in the warm barracks, sleeping.
Shatteredtower, a Hercules? That's a big plane, and I can imagine it's cold! Very open back there, and you were flying over Canada. I was in a Harrier, and we were flying over Buenos Aires, not half as bad.

While I appreciate the consideration that involved (unnecessary, but a nice touch), if it took you two days, surely you can understand how it might take me some time to write a reply.
Especially since I owe a certain pair of paladins some time, as well as a few elves (one of whom has been exceedingly patient with me, and I apologize for the grief he's endured).
I'll try to get back to you by tomorrow, but my first priority is an e-mail for Gamis. G, I'm sorry, but I'm a bit too fuzzy brained to play Malifaeyr tonight. However, I'll be sending you what I hope is a helpful PM very shortly.

take your time, I was just wondering how long it would take. like hours, days, weeks. (it is sort of like the mail's 5-7 day thing)
I am entertaining myself with a suicide run through of FFX (those original monsters really kick the party's ***...). Here's a question: How can a guy that is knocked out get up to run off screen as Yuna summons aeons? (Auraun was out cold so it took him a long time to get off screen)
... stupid earth eater... it was on its back, and cast flare at my aeon, bringing it to a tenth life (and it's overdrive back to full) and then got up and punched it...
As for entry into the game, it could take a bit of sorting out details and ideas, mechanics and whatnot, up to a week. That's up to a week -- results vary. I think the fastest has been three days.
In the meantime, however, it doesn't hurt to get to know the players here. Noise is very good for getting to know who will be around at your usual favoured posting time, where you might find the most interaction, and perhaps what the most promising leads are for any goals you might have for a character. It's not a bad place to ask rules and games questions, but you already seem to have the idea there.
I'm going to have to get offline soon, at least for a few hours, but I hope that helps.
Though it was amusing that she was pointing at a lot of boys when she said it. Still, she did grab the arm of the right one when the time came.
Cute kid. She made me wonder what it is about balls that so many of us love them so much as such a young age. She stole a basketball from one of the bastketball throwing games and ran around gleefully with it.
I wish they'd let her hold onto it until she had to go, but she didn't fuss when the person on duty (gently and politely) took it from her.

Boy did I mess up... Joseph is the worst womanizer in history... probably because I forgot to take ranks in bluff! d'oh!
Example of what will happen:
Joseph walks up to a pretty woman. "How' you doing? Mind if I buy you a drink?" Joseph starts before laying out his whole scheme to seduce her (hey, mustketeers wenched and they were heroes...).

"Bard season."

Let's make one thing clear, however, folks. I do not, nor have I ever, resembled Elmer Fudd.

"HEY, IT'S BOB! Wait - but this one is 'Silent Bob' - IT'S BOB!"
No, he and I are definitely not the same person. I'm more sleight of build and might be taller. Then there are the personality issues, the choices of occupation, our style of dress, the fact that I'm not a fictional character...

*Looks slightly embarassed
That made me sound really girly didn't it?
Stats for pantyhose, add bonuses for pretty flowery patterns!It didn't make you sound girly, Boirin. Made you sound cuuute! :D
Besides, you have a point. Just look at superhero fashion! TIGHTS, TIGHTS, AND TIGHTS - and brightly colored undies on top. Aric IS indeed super, and he IS indeed a hero!
Therefore, he should be able to wear tights without being teased. All the greats wear tights - like Superman...IC: If the tights don't provide at least a +4 armor bonus to AC, Gamis probably won't bother with them. :P

The sum of my stage experience with prosthesis has been a big moustache that resembled Snidely Whiplash's, and it required spirit gum. I hated that stuff even in small quantities, so I don't think a Klingon's forehead ridges would be no picnic.
In the last show I did some of the characters wore bendies on their faces, but I wasn't one of them, fortunately. :P

I'm sure the Klingon outfits are quite difficult & time-consuming.
And I never saw him toss a caber... We trained in pikes & halberds & crossbows, though.

No swords?!
Swords are the most fun, beside jousting.I wouldn't mind using a crossbow, I'd probably be quite good at it, seeing as I'm pretty good with ranged weapons.
And the crossbows were a design my ex came up with: they fired tennis balls.
:PHow accurate were they? About like a paint-ball handgun, or less?
(10-15m under good conditions.)
Trust me, you don't really want to wear armour. I have and it's very uncomfortable, and heavy. But it's kinda cool, except the added 20-30lbs when you fall off your horse adds up.
*shudders remembering the bruises*
*thinks
Hmm, the master-at-arms would have to have it though.
Rats!
Besides, you never met my neighbour back in Newfoundland. I don't know if I've met many people who more properly fit the term "gentleman." He looked like he could handle himself well in a fight too, except that the idea of one starting in his presence just seems... inconcievable.
And yes, it does mean what I think it does. Don't go there. :P
And Scots are always barbarians! Didn't you watch Braveheart?:P
Newfoundland? He's not Scottish is he?
Saw Braveheart. Can't forget Reg Shoe quoting that movie in Terry Pratchett's Nightwatch. The man has had a field day with lines about dying gloriously ("There's a very important word in that sentence, and it's not 'gloriously.'") and wanting to live forever ("I don't know. Ask me in five hundred years.")
Besides, I come from an island clan. The most we had to deal with were the Danes and (supposedly) the fey.
Maybe it is exhaustion or just my random mind... but has anyone else played that game Munchkin? You know, "Kill the monster, loot the dungeon, backstab your buddy!" They came out with a Karate Munchkin (Judo Chop your body) and a Star Munchkin (Phaser the Monster). Such a funny game... Ahh the memories of non-collectable card games... I wonder if there are any Cotions of Ponfusion in D&D... (there were in one of the new D&D mini-novels... it was a potion that made the drinker tongue tied so no one could understand him or her... it was funny when the halfling with half a foot fed it to Mielee to try and save her after she was dead... she was raised in a state of blabbering... definately one of the funnier moments in Greyhawk History)
There's always a huge group of players, and the backstabbing gets quite deadly, and generally ends up with 5+ players all vying for the last level. That's when every starts using their evil combo cards to seriously screw people over...
Besides, when did Bob stop being Santa?

My recent favorite:
"GET KILLED.
GET NOTICED."
Kind of bleak, I guess, but... true in some cases.
There was a girl last year to whom no one paid attention, and then in the middle of the night, she passed away, and suddenly everyone knew her name.Well, that probably is not being "killed," I suppose. That's just dying.
Then again, is not like they knew all the names of every single soldier who ever died in war, do they? I'm sure Aztecs didn't keep records of every Jimmy who fell during the day's battle...
And somewhere between the 201st and 207th cranies of Jonathan's right brain...
OH NO!! IAM WAS BITTEN!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Ha'cha! Spike is loaded for bear... I wish my bard could afford that hardware...
Freak-Cyborg-Bounty-Hunter vs. Purple Squishy thing... who will stand victorious... taking all bets...
Back on the left brain..
Every soldier in the U.S. Army is well documented. The only U.S. statistics reported that are flawed is the enemy body count.
Vietnam enemy kill reports were grossly inflated. Example: the U.S. forces would set Claymore traps for the Viet Kong and when they were set off they counted the parts. 1 head = 1 enemy kill. 1 arm = 1 enemy kill. 1 leg = 1 enemy kill. 1 torso = 1 enemy kill. You get the picture... Anyone that knows what a claymore can do to a human knows that you will get like 20+ times the true count.

You go to the SSAG, talk to Volos. There's no test. What you interpreted as a 'test' is the requirement that the applicant have done a service of note.
* Applicants for memberships require a proof of service (ex. guard record, noble writ, etc.). Furthermore, they must succeed at an exceptional task performed for the guild. A majority vote of the Guild Council can over-ride this requirement.
If you want to talk to a PC about this instead of Volos, you can have him direct you to Gamis and Mirielle's house: 16 Wildrose Lane

Also, lockdown is usually only Mondays. And the following is the time scale:
Tuesday: Day
Wednesday: Night
Thursday: Day
Friday: Night
Saturday: Day
Sunday: Night
Monday: Lockdown
Tuesday: Day
Wednesday: Night
Thursday: Day
Friday: Night
Saturday: Day
Sunday: Night
----------------
there is an entire game week schedule
hope some of this helped

I'd be interesting in decorating the boarding house with something Christmasy (holly and mistletoe are even included in the SRD which leads me to believe it is a real possibility Christmas comes even in this fictional world) if it does.

That's a matter being looked into by the DM's for an IC calendar, to include things like festivals that the three churches celebrate.
And holly and mistletoe are intended more as holy symbols of a sort for druids, I believe. Mistletoe was/is sacred to the RL Druids.
I bought a sprig of it today, too. Gotta hang it where unsuspecting girlfriends will stand. ;)

Also... Patches could make significantly more if other PC's made donations.
Edit: Hermy the Hero instant messaged me the answer.
2nd Edit: Also, 50 copper pieces looks like more money than 5 silver pieces...

I'm fine except for a minor case of whiplash -- and yes, I had everything checked out, and the baby's fine too.I'll post in the next few days, if I get another chance. For now, I'm off again: someone's got a project for work that he's trying to finish before the holiday.

Also, once we get to level 6 we can just suggest that the halfling army stand down and surrender... Everyone knows Halflings get -100 to saves from songs... they can't help but dance on tables when music is playing.

On a related note, it is generally unacceptable to 'drop' a character (ie. Sending the character away from the city permanently, 'suiciding' the character, etc.) If you find you are having trouble playing your character, please talk it over with the dms. 'Dropping' must be pre-approved if you wish to return to play, and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Never try Ouzo (180 proof). It looks like water, but tastes like black licquerish... at least until you've downed a couple shots...
Also, make sure to stir a margarita on the rocks... otherwise all the tequilla is on top, or worse, the bottom.

I love Ouzo, the best type is the lesser known Ouzo 10.
And it's aniseed flavoured, which is the basic ingredient for licorice; the two taste very different though.
Other types of licorice are just flavoured chewy candy, it had to be black to be licorice! Ask any Dutchie.
That is an odor I will never, ever forget.

I think I was toying with the proportions to try to fit the measurements. Angelique at 4'7" and elf, and Joseph 5'3" and 167 lbs. So their heads ended up kinda large :P

Nope. Verdana still looks like the same old verdana to me.
It may be that Verdana was uninstalled on your computer? I doubt that's the case, since Verdana is so widely used...
The font change may be a result of different web encoding, Tagg. If the page is supposed to be viewed in Western European encoding, different fonts will be used if the encoding gets changed to, for example, Chinese Simplified.

Heh, ironic time of year to be inquiring about whether or not there's room at an inn, don't you think? ;)
As for licorice, the Dutch would be so much cooler if they would just stop salting it. :P

:embarrass Bob, is this another chess player? ;) Gordon Lightfoot, the pop idol / chess player sensation!Originally posted by Tensek Vicar
Who?
No, no, he was never in the Who.
Or the Band.
Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian singer/songwriter during the late sixties and seventies. "Sundown," "Every Highway," "Did She Mention My Name," "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," and "If You Could Read My Mind," are some of his better known pieces.
That last song got new exposure a few years back, when it was rereleased as a Country and Western tune (and it made sense in that format, from a lyrical perspective). However, another group released it as a dance club number, which was rather... odd. It was like listening to the Smiths, with their bright cheery music and really depressing lyrics.
I mean, granted:
"Never thought
I could feel this way,
And I have to say,
That I just don't get it."
-- carries very well in a dance tune, but there's something wrong about enthusiastically continuing on to sing:
"I don't know,
Where we went wrong,
But the feeling's gone,
And I just can't get it back."
Well, that's not a feel-good kind of lyric, you know? At least the Smiths meant to be ironic. (Whether they were or not I will leave for others to discuss. :P)
Or what the DDR machine is playing. :P
"Don't ever stop, don't ever quit
Don't ever quit your love on me
Yes, if I win
Then you are my friend
You are the best thing that ever happened to me"
Romantic, no, for techno/dance music?

Three is a good start after just two days. It was over a week before I could do that sometimes.
And actually it wasn't just a level 5 song. I can beat most level 5 songs on Light mode (but never If You Were Here when it's part of a Nonstop game), and a good number of them on Standard mode. I can even beat a few level 6 Light songs -- Afronova, for instance, and I finally survived Max300.
But this was my first Heavy song, even if it was just a level 5. I got a C too. Now I just have to see if I can repeat the feat. :D

Thank you, thank you...Now, after a post, I go to long-awaited bed.
One of the most fundamental parts of a roleplaying community is that every player has their own character to play. They play their own and no one else's. However, this "rule" has very specific places where it can be "broken." These places are set by the player to whom the character belongs and/or a Dungeon Master. Some examples of these are Natala in her shop, or one of the characters that serves food and drink in Nobody's, who are Maelut and Boirin, respectively, and only when they are on the premises.

I took Silis out of the Avowed compound and to the gates for two reasons. The first was to send the letters to Fortitude Pass. And the second was to go hunting with Angeliqué, Maelut, Boirin, and Tagg. And by no fault of my own or by the action of any of the DM's, I was denied that opportunity.

This is the kind of thing that I come close to hating to say. I do not totally hate it because I have hope that my message comes across, and if it does, then I will be glad I said what I said. I don't want to sound vindictive or controlling, but this is the only way I know how to say what I want to say.
Please don't decide what my character does unless I tell you to. And I promise I will do the same in return.

This is not meant to be fully directed at any one player, but Tagg, could you please pay special attention.
One of the most fundamental parts of a roleplaying community is that every player has their own character to play. They play their own and no one else's. However, this "rule" has very specific places where it can be "broken." These places are set by the player to whom the character belongs and/or a Dungeon Master. Some examples of these are Natala in her shop, or one of the characters that serves food and drink in Nobody's, who are Maelut and Boirin, respectively, and only when they are on the premises. These places are not decided by anyone else. We do not play other people's characters unless we are specifically and directly told to. I repeat, do not. Especially when they have put themselves in a position to do some roleplaying and adventuring.
Then do not put yourself in a position to do roleplaying and adventuring if you are not going to be there. Due to power outages in my area, I was not sure if I would be around to DM the adventure and I gave Tagg instructions on what he could do to keep the adventure moving along.
Waiting on Silis was not among those instructions. Would you have been upset if he NPCed you along? No, you are upset about missing out on an adventure. I would rather you be NPCed out of an adventure then carried along as dead weight until it is convient for you to show back up. Especially when you invite yourself into the adventure.
The most fundemental aspect of roleplaying here is courtesy, of which you have shown little.
I took Silis out of the Avowed compound and to the gates for two reasons. The first was to send the letters to Fortitude Pass. And the second was to go hunting with Angeliqué, Maelut, Boirin, and Tagg. And by no fault of my own or by the action of any of the DM's, I was denied that opportunity.
So you invited yourself into the adventure, stopped it from moving along so you could play out your characters personal buisness, and then can't be bothered to wait for the adventure to start? And now you are upset at being excluded? You denied yourself the opportunity. Even though you were not included in the plans and would have required me to replan everything to make it a challenge to accomidate a larger group, I would have. Had you been here. You were not. Do Not Sign Up For an Adventure if You Will Not Be There For It.
Nobody likes NPCing other peoples characters, even the DMs. Show some courtiesy for the others you will be playing with.
Sometimes things come up that you have to put ahead of the game. And it is very encouraged that you do it. However... Don't expect everyone else to wait on you.
And if you are holding up a group, expect to be NPCed. Especially when you invite yourself in to the group.
Tagg was under instructions to keep the adventure moving along. He made the right call, you did not. You had a chance to write yourself out when you knew you were going to be going away .And instead you tried to write yourself in.
Don't assume that just because there is an adventure going on, that there is room for your character. And don't assume you can treble the entire group.
We as players have no authority to decide out the actions of characters that are not our own. I am only granted the privilage of playing one character, who I have called Silis. I will not decide what other characters will say or do, with specific and direct instruction from the character's player. And niether should anyone else.
Unless they are instructed to keep things moving on, which Tagg was. I'll tell you again what I told you over AIM.. He made the right call. If he had had you do something out of character then you would have a case. But he did not. He did what had to be done.
This is the kind of thing that I come close to hating to say. I do not totally hate it because I have hope that my message comes across, and if it does, then I will be glad I said what I said. I don't want to sound vindictive or controlling, but this is the only way I know how to say what I want to say.
Please don't decide what my character does unless I tell you to. And I promise I will do the same in return.
Then take more responsibility for your character. And don't waste my time again by keeping me awake to explain this to you over AIM, and then ignore it and post a rant on here.
Silis, I am aware that you are especially sensitive about others NPCing you. That's why I tried to make it as brief as possible so there were less chances I could play your character wrong (if you noticed i never did have him say anything in quotes). I thought it was reasonable to think that Silis would sacrifice going on a small trip (one which he isn't even very apt at) to do something else that would overall help the group (almost all of which might i add are Silis's friends).
Also, if you were doing a last minute job, it probably is an important thing to tip off the place so they keep the kitchens open. Because if they come a too late, then the whole thing in the first place would be in vain.
And another thing, I quite honestly had been expecting no more than the three to be in the group. The several meetings in elsewhere were, well.. I dunno but I can't help but think slightly out of place since we were fairly close to the gate (i thought so at least). And Silis, was Tagg not dragged along through all of those meetings when I was not there to play him? Yes. However that's not necessarily negative because now he can say he met Kywyn, NaShae, and Codrian. Just try to think of the realistic(ness? ality? choose proper suffix) of a sorceror going hunting..I just don't see it,no offense to Silis or other Silis type characters.Sure he can be a helpful aid in combat, but I don't think deer are going to be throwing spears at us. Now whether there is something more out of the ordinary going to happen that is out of my knowledge. But incharacter Tagg is basically expecting to take a stroll in the woods and hopefully encounter some deer or deer like animals.
Sorry for cutting Silis out but perhaps now I hope you can better understand why.
What I see is a situation in which Silis got invited himself to join a group, an act which none of the other three (Angelique, Boirin, or Maelut) present disagreed to. On the surface, this looks appropriate, though if I was the DM running the scenario, I might have been tempted to have Silis devoured by ethereal ferrets if I'd already prepared the scenario for a four-person group, none of whom had spells capable of dropping a deer at 130 feet. (Whether or not this would be practical is a different story.) However, if the DM in question was prepared for such a matter, or didn't have a problem with the extra PC joining things, it's not an issue. I'm sure Silis checked with kneyjailb before signing up as a fifth wheel, right?
The issue is therefore whether Tagg had any right to uninvite him by giving him a different assignment. If this was discussed with the other members of the group and the decision was reached by consensus, or if he had DM agreement, then yes, he had that right. I doubt that the first occurred, but I cannot speak for the latter scenario. These would be acceptable grounds for the decision that was made.
Likewise, if the intention was to make arrangements with the Last Lich Inn and meet up with Silis before starting on the hunt, Tagg still justified in moving things along as he did. Silis could ask for a rewrite to better reflect his character's responses or mannerisms, and it would only be proper for Tagg to work with him to construct a more suitable edit, but the action itself was reasonable and offered in a manner that approached Silis' own portrayal of his character fairly well. He would have been fully within his rights to move things along in this manner.
However, if Tagg's actions wrote Silis out of the picture without any prior approval from Silis, the DM, or the consensus of his group, then there is an issue, and it would have been good to bring it to the DM's attention first.
On the other hand, Tagg was the one to organize this group. Unless he specifically invited Silis to join the group, whether IC or during OoC discussion, Silis had no right to invite himself along, even if the rest of the group was fine with the idea. Ideally, Tagg should have discussed the decision with Silis first -- but since the situation arose because Silis had not brought the subject up with Tagg, I believe Tagg was justified to do as he did.
This is not to say that Silis necessarily did anything wrong by inviting himself. He was not aware of all of the facts. Nor does it mean that the group's majority was wrong to allow him to travel with them. None of that changes the fact that Tagg was entitled to make the decision he did. The group had four members already, which is the preferred amount for most scenarios like this. (We can handle five or six or even eight, but there had better be a very good reason before a DM is expected to juggle this kind of load on an adventure, hunt, or other event beyond the walls.) Even if this wasn't the reason Tagg had for turning Silis away (and with reasonable characterization), it alone was reason enough.
I may not be remembering things correctly here, but Tagg's decision may also have been based on a discussion he and I had earlier this week. It did not include any personal grievances, if that reassures anyone, but it may have covered reasons that factored into the decision made.
In the end, however, I'm afraid that you are mistaken in your assumptions, Silis. Tagg was not out of line in moving your character out of his path, at least not in the manner in which he did it. Had he sought out your character and dragged him along without your consent, or had he created a situation in which the two of your PCs had a long conversation that you didn't get to participate in (especially if you disagreed with how he portrayed you), that would have been different, but that was far from the case. You are entitled to bring such concerns to DM attention, but I'm afraid I do not find them to be valid in this specific case, just as I may not find similar concerns valid in every future case.
Tagg acted with adequate consideration in this matter, and I hope that everyone will remember to do likewise, should they feel it is necessary to direct another PC. If a player feels this was not done, they are to contact the DMs, and edits will be arranged. Do not panic if we call for an edit; most cases are no more serious than having us call for someone to adjust a tie before having their picture taken. (May it never be worse that that. :o)
On related news, another stellar example of Swedish power grid: Last night saw again over 20,000 homes without electricity because of storm strength winds had broken the lines. That was fourth or fifth time during this winter that such thing happened there. At which point blind optimism to current system turns into stupidity?

Yes. I am aware of that now. My arguement wasn't much of an arguement at all, more like a result of over-tiredness and stress from RL activities culminating in my over reaction to something ultimately trivial. I'm sorry. Very sorry. Sorry for wasting time that could easily been used more constructively elsewhere. I wasn't using any foresight or empathy in my logic. I was just thinking of myself and what was happening to my character. For which I am sorry. This is a community, with lots of different people interacting with each, and so one of my mistakes was not considering those other people. Again, I'm sorry.
And just on a side note of my pride kicking in (damn it), I posted my rant before I talked to you on AIM kneyejaillb. Sorry. For the entire incident.

Interviews freak me out.
You could always ask something vague & philosophical, such as "How do you feel Columbia helped to prepare you for the post-college world?"
I like your idea of "vague and philosophical"! I can save that for payback if she asks me lots of the same. I hope she doesn't. I hate those "Describe a situation in which . . . " questions. I can't think off the top of my head! When it comes to interviews, I'm the headless chicken that's running around everywhere!
My (limited but successful) experience with college interviews is that you should just be who you are. Don't try to make up situations. If you can't think of something like what she's asking, then tell her about something similar. The biggest thing they're looking for is whether you're the type of person they'd like to share a campus with. All you have to show is that you're more than just your transcript.
As for questions, you can always ask about how easy it is to get involved with extracurriculars, how the college interacts with the town, what options there are for research/study abroad. Basically, you should give her some questions that make it easy for her to make Columbia look good, while demonstrating an interest in life on campus.

Besides the 10 1/2 I spent driving today--which was exceptionally good time, even with the weather. What's sobering is that I'm not as wiped out from the ordeal as I probably could be--could very well be that's what I get for growing up in Nevada and having to drive at least an hour-and-a-half to get anywhere of note. Still couldn't pull a 24-hour haul, though, at least not without caffine and preferably a relatively empty, long stretch of freeway. I'm not that hard; some roadtrips you just gotta tag-team. Driving to Oklahoma through four other states doesn't look so bad, for some reason (but Evin's coming in tomorrow, so I have no reason to seriously consider that :D).
At least the rain quit when I finally got off that freeway, and had to go by what I could remember of my map (was too dark to read it at that point and I couldn't take my attention off the road to click on a light and look at it; besides that it didn't have a detail of Tracy) and the area to make it the rest of the way home.
Part of me regrets not going the northern route, I-80 out of Sacramento, through Donner Pass instead, like I did on the way through. Y'know, when the road was plowed, salted (eg, road dry), and sanded so professionally, like the crew up there always seems to do. Pretty drive, though; prettier than most times I've gone through it in winter while on the western side of the Sierras, with the snow clinging in large but seperate clumps to the branches of the pines. And mist running up the side of a dozer-cut bank along the left side of the road, as the sun shone on it and thawed it. I recognized few of the rest stops under the thick layer of white they received, and at least I don't think I've ever visited the gas station we stopped at briefly so I could squeegee the salt-rime from the road spray off the windshield (damn fluid nozzles decided that no, thank you, we're not going to work today), Dustin could go to the bathroom, and Derek could look in vain for a working coffee machine. The boy needs his caffine fix, and I'm the one doing the 8 hours of driving
. The fumes from it when we hit up a Starbucks later in Reno may have been a little helpful to me, though (but I still won't touch the stuff--hot chocolate for life!). He got some looks at the gas station when he got out of the Tahoe basically in shirtsleeves while everyone else gathered in line for the restroom is nicely-bundled for skiing and you can't see the ground for the snow, thin as the layer may be after it obviously got well-scraped. A stone's throw down the "road" from the station was one of those signs you often see on the highway warning of roadwork or bad conditions that read "SUGARBOWL SOLD OUT TURN AROUND HERE." There was a steady stream of people and vehicles doing so. I can only imagine how Tahoe (the lake, not the SUV I drove), Bishop, Heavenly, and Mammoth looked this weekend--from what we could see of Boreal, that place was packed.And there's lil' old me, puttering through it all, on my way down south where it had to be only marginally warmer. If the Chinook is still being kind to you up there, ST, it might've been colder down in Beatty. The low yesterday was 17 F, IIRC.
But anyway, I bought the chains and everything in case they were needed, and ended up rounding the Sierras completely to avoid the snow to deal with rain, wind, and a few 6-foot-diameter tumbleweeds trying to hitchike from between the two northbound lanes. 4-wheel drive, those chains, and the fact that I'm a pretty careful driver mean I probably could've made it over Donner, but chances are forty-plus miles at less than 30 mph because of the chains would've ended up tacking on another two hours to my time anyway. 80 sees a lot of traffic, so they keep it clear, clear, clear. Yahoo tried to tell me that the fastest route would've been to go through Yosemite, but not at this time of year, nu-uh. It may not have the historical connotation of doom that Donner does, but neither does it have as busy or effective a snow-removal crew. Meh. So it was Death Valley, the Mojave Desert, and the Central Valley for me. At least the windshielded needed only one squeeg'ing as opposed to three.
Well, here I am, whole and undamaged but tired from my odyssey, with a comparative milk run around mid-day tomorrow to pick up a certain someone from Oakland Int'l Airport.

I couldn't go over 40mph on a road I normally take at 65-70, although there were some... foolhardy types, in SUVs, passing. But they were rare. Most everyone else was taking it easy. So, okay, our 2 or 3 inches may not seem like much to those of you in, for example, the frigid northlands, but it's impressive for here in the valley along the river.

Anyway, speaking of presents...
Hoho! Today I finished two applications! I aim to finish another tonight, and then tomorrow the last one (for a few days)! :D
Ooooh, deviled eggs!
Since a +5 weapon for example, the +5 overwrites the +1 for being masterwork right? Then whats the point of spending money on a +1 weapon since youre oerwriting the masterwork +1 with a +1 as well...
The only point of spending the 2000 gold might be to get teh +1 on damage rolls in addition to attack rolls, whereas masterwork +1 only gives bonus on attack?
The best way to think of it is in terms of stages - you get a basic weapon and make it masterwork, then make it +1, and then you add other enchantments and bonuses to it.
Given a low treasure campaign such as GsC - it makes perfect sense for a character to work on a single weapon, increasing it over time in steps, rather than just making it in one go.
In fact, the DMs might even allow you to upgrade enchantments - possibly upgrading a flaming weapon to a flaming burst weapon, by simply spending the difference in gold - but would require you to craft the earlier enchantments first...
Otherwise, the benefit of paying 2,000 gp to upgrade your masterwork weapon is a matter of being able to beat DR x/magic for one thing. That extra point of damage each time you hit helps; in fact, sometimes it helps you actually sneak something past Damage Reduction your weapon is doesn't bypass.
And once the weapon is upgraded to a +1 weapon, it's only another 6,000 gp to enhance it to a +2 value, and only another 10,000 from +2 to +3. I hope that helps.
Drat. Still working on a few other answers here. Got to get ready to leave work, too. See you all later.
Originally posted by Shatteredtower
While we do allow upgrading of weapons, as per the DMG, I am inclined to agree with chonjurer's assessment that a flaming burst weapon is not an upgrade on a flaming weapon. Yeah, it does huge damage on the critical hit, but you're probably far better off just going for an extra type of damage.
Bah! Damn that tjonjurer - he's good with the rules, but always missing the point.
A flaming burst weapon is clearly an upgrade of a flaming weapon. While it might not be the most efficient way to upgrade a weapon, compared to taking another type of damage for example, a flaming burst weapon is still better than a flaming weapon - and it would make sense if the DM allowed a character to replace flaming with flaming burst, by simply paying the difference between the two weapons.
Of course this isn't strictly in the rules - you are essentially removing the flaming property and adding the flaming burst property, and as far as I know the DMG doesn't allow for properties to be removed from weapons.
Still, I like the idea of levelling weapons, and if I was playing an Item Creation specialist in a game such as Garic's City, I'd love the idea of being able to upgrade weapons for people in this way. In fact, there are numerous weapon and armour properties that would benefit from using this kind of method...
I think I have the idea for my next PC sorted out should something unfortunate happen to DV...
purchasing a masterwork longsword for 315 gold
sometime in the future enchant it with +1 for 2000
sometime in the future enchant it with flaming for another 2000
I think..
Hm. I never knew that magical weapons could be built over time. I thought it was kinda like masterwork weapons, where "You can’t add the masterwork quality to a weapon after it is created; it must be crafted as a masterwork weapon."
Oo, and armor +1 bonuses are only 1000 unlike weapon +1s which are 2000.. another question. the table located here mentions "random armor types" yet has a price next to them. Is it suggesting that for example you could take padded armor and make it gain benefits equal to full plate armor by paying 1650 gold?
Mimosas are a must this morning!
The Random Armour Types table is to randomly define the type of armour generated. The price is then added to the overall market price of the magical armour. It's exactly the same as randomly generating the type of magical weapon.
Usually, with magic item creation, everything is done at the same time. The Item Creator takes (or Crafts) a Masterwork version of the magic item, and then enchants it with all the abilties they want on it.
The idea that magical weapons can be crafted over time is strictly an optional idea I know some DMs have toyed with. It is based somewhat on the principles of levelled items - and idea that was introduced in Oriental Adventures as part of the Samarai base class.
Personally, I don't agree that weapons can't be made masterwork after they have been crafted. I think that truely skilled craftsmen could hone blades and refine weapons, making them better than an ordinary weapon.
It all depends on how the DM classifies Masterwork items - they might decide that a masterwork longsword is actually made from a superior type of steel, rather than just finely honed for exceptional balance. Personnaly I think such an approach should be treated more like forging weapons from unusual materials, similar to Adamntine and Ironwood.

No. The cost to add the flaming ability to a +1 longsword would be 6,000 gp, the difference between the cost of a +1 weapon and a +2 weapon, since the flaming ability adds to the base price of the weapon as an extra +1.
A weapon with a +1 value costs 2,000 gp (not including the masterwork weapon price).
A weapon with a +2 value (a +2 weapon, for example, or a +1 flaming sword) costs 8,000 gp.
A weapon with a +3 value (a +3 weapon, or a +1 holy sword) costs 18,000 gp.
If you took a masterwork sword, it would cost 2000 gp to give it a +1 value. Later, you could make it a flaming weapon for another 6,000 gp (since that would complete the 8,000 gp expenditure for a +2-equivalent weapon). If you wanted to later make the weapon a f+2 flaming sword, that's another 10,000 gp. On the other hand, if you wanted to make the +1 flaming sword into a +1 flaming holy sword, that would cost another 24,000 gp (and the undying enmity of trolls everywhere, I'm sure).
Hm. I never knew that magical weapons could be built over time. I thought it was kinda like masterwork weapons, where "You can’t add the masterwork quality to a weapon after it is created; it must be crafted as a masterwork weapon."
No, it's like other magic items, except those which are consumed by use, in that it can be upgraded. The expense of upgrading an item to serve two benefits can be quite expensive, however, I can see some people deciding that upgrading boots of elvenkind to possess the powers of boots of speed might be worth the extra expense. (Those boots would cost more to enhance with both powers than would just getting a pair of each kind of boots.)

anyone up for some interaction at the smorgasbord/feast thing?
Anaya, what's the reasoning behind that?ive never had to breach the matter before. But as far as i know hes never met one and he lived in fairly isolation.. so he might not have prejudice.. yet.. also he is CG not CN so he might be less likely to have racial prejudices at all..
When combined with a Good outlook - they are more likely to respect others (so less likely to hate people on impuse), but this would be neutered somewhat by the traditional Elven outlook that Orcs are Evil, and ancient foes of Elfkind.
Ironically enough though - Lawful characters are more likely to hate their racial enemies than Chaotic characters, so a Lawful Good Elf would be more likely to automatically hate Orcs, than a Chaotic Good Elf would.
Lawful Good Elves would hate Orcs because they are both Evil and enemies of Elvenkind. They won't need any more reason.
Chaotic Good Elves are more likely to only hate Orcs because they burnt down their village - and if this wasn't the case, the CG Elf would actually show more willing than a LG Elf to like and respect an Orc individual worthy of respect - i.e. an Orc that doesn't go around burning down Elven villages because they are cold...
Of course, this only applies to Orcs. Half-Orcs are an entirely different kettle of fish. Since they are half-breeds between Human and Orc, prejudice would depend on the priorities the character would give to the three things - the Half-Orc's Human ancestry, the Half-Orcs Orc ancestry, and the Half-Orc's Half-breed status.
If the character is a Human-o-phile, they might overlook the half-orc's Orcish heritage, but would most likely view the Half-Orc as a defilement of humanity. Alternatively, an Orc-hater might be sympathetic to the Half-Orc's plight - especially if the Human-Orc bonding was forced rather than voluntarily. Then again, the Orc Hater might just see the Half-Orc as a watered-down Orc... and even the tiniest amount of Orc is too much. Lastly, some characters might not even care about the actual races involved, but view half-breeds, such as Half-Orcs and Half-Elves as a defilement of nature.
Heh... who would have thought prejudice would be so complicated?!

I thought the hatred of orcs would have been taught by their parents :P I have rarely seen someone actually hate another race where the parents did not have some part in teaching that hatred to the children.
Thus if your PCs parents did not teach you to hate orcs, then you are safe in not being predjuice against them.

That sounds possible, but I do not know enough on that to make an educated comment.
Oh yes GsC does have a sewer system. It is not a nice place though. Low-Life the half-orc lives down there, and other creepy crawly things that are dangerous. It is where Nattamomma bit the big one and died to the chagrin of all GsC players. The only cleric PC in the city dying was a sad day.
Darkar can also vouch that the sewer is not a nice place, and so can Lt. Gerug.

Well actually when we were on transit to the gulf, we just passed the straits and I was on watch. 3 speed boats came out from the fog and came in at us at high speed. that was the first time in my life, I actually aimed a gun at another man. Our helos were sent out and they took off, later we caught em and they had tons of explosives onboard. So i guess i can understand the watch...sometimes...
I think we need a new bard hater like Treble. Those pesky song-writers and cat-stranglers are running way too freely.

There is no 'gnome band' playing at the feast. There was a gnome bard. It was not Minto. Minto is a halfling.And unless explicitly stated otherwise, the characters are all speaking & singing in Common.

I thought it was implied they were singing in gnome. that is the post i was referring to by gnome band, i had no intention of referring to Minto.
I am a little bit surprised that the PC bards have been so reluctant to take stage. Isn't this one reason for playing a bard -- the chance to grandstand just a bit? I'm tempted to say, "Okay, Da'Vane, if no one gets up there by tomorrow, a certain dead barbarian/bard may make his undead debut -- but for only one performance, got it?"

My tenth grade history teacher oft complained of snow in his childhood state. He said there were doors on the second story of his house so that they could get out of the house. Ready a sled at the second story and then WHOOOOSH! down out of the house.
He also said some very unflattering things about ENRON and horses.

As for the bundling up, I keep thinking of A Christmas Story. I'll likely fall over and, unable to stand again, freeze to death after hours and hours of rolling back and forth in the snow.

I will roll just as you are rolling there, Bob. :P Onto the sidewalk right in front of an alley. Until all the sweat soaks through my three-thousand layers and freezes to the ice, holding me in place.
Passersby will peer at me as I lie there, mewling and thrashing my arms on the ground. Little children will stare from safe distances at first, then, giggling, run up to kick me in the side while I lay there, unprotected and vulnerable, but I will likely not feel it because of the three-thousand layers.
Dogs will mark their territory. And the markings will freeze in a little crystalline pool on the side of my outermost coat.
Then you hear the slow BEEP - BEEP - BEEP of a semi-truck backing out of the alley. I will only stare.
What gets me is that I hear your description read as beatnik poetry, and it fits, somehow.

Horses?
"Dang right, horses are pretty," he'd say, scowling, on more than one occasion, "but they're dumb as bricks.
"Once upon a time, my brother and I were in the stable, brushing down one of them peabrains. Now a stall's only this wide," he said, holding his arms apart, "and I was on one side of the beast and he, on the other.
"So we were brushing it down and cleaning its coat when, all of the sudden, it decides it wants to lean over.
"My brother held up both his arms - as if that'd protect him from six hundred pounds [or whatever it is] of stupid - and the horse broke both 'is arms."
I always thought of him as a cranky, crotchety old grandpa sort, though he did smile very nicely every once in a while. He kept complaining about Enron reducing his 401k to a 101k. He also complained a lot about Nazis. Then there was an episode in which the gangly old man with several strands of hair tried to hula hoop. That was entertaining, too.
On other fronts, Sensan, the snow did come back -- it was snowing in Saint Helens when I left there at 3:45am.
Did you guess that I'm not back in Chicago yet?
I'm sorry to learn I'm missing the first big snow of the year there, but at this point, I'm still just hoping to get back at the time we had planned; that accident happened on 23 December, and when we called to check on how the repairs were progressing on New Year's Eve, by some mix-up, nothing had been done. It wasn't even at the body shop yet.
If it's not going to be ready by the day after tomorrow, at this point, I'm ready for the insurance company to pay our way back home, and bring the car to us when it's done.My back is slowly healing, though I'm still occasionally needing pain medicine. I'm particularly unhappy that this whole ordeal has kicked my morning sickness (which was finally easing off significantly) back into high gear.
All of this taken together means: Don't expect more posts out of me until I get back to Chicago. If all goes well, I'll be back there late on Wednesday. I may or may not post in the couple of days following my return; travel of any sort is exhausting me (if not making me outright ill), so I'll be taking some time to rest. Whether GsC constitutes rest will depend on whether my brain is working better than my body at that point.

I got to see my best buddy, who now lives in Durham, on the day after Christmas. Not for long, but it was still nice. :D

So... how far south is "southern Alberta"? :P Are we talking near Edmonton, Calgary, or Red Deer or Medicine Hat or Banffffffff - I kind of want to live in Banfffffffff someday 'cause it's so fun to say. I'd say, "Hi! I'm Fran! I'm a Banffffffffian. No, silly, I'm not an alien. :D "
If near Calgary, I kind of like the sound of Big Hill Springs: It's got waterfalls! Unfortunately, it says it doesn't allow overnight stays. Are we looking at just a one-afternoon ordeal or a lengthier stay?

On the school closure front... ours is open but the buses are on Snow Routes... except I can't find an explanation of what a 'snow route' is!
Up here a snow route is what happens when busses can't make the trecherous drive through hip deep snow and must change their routes accordingly so they can drive along plowed roads.
Although the Edmonton Catholic school board has a policy of never closing their schools down come hell or highwater. So When the busses didn't run we all had yto find different methods of transportation. For me it was walking uphill both ways in -40 degree(celsius) weather! With nothing but shors and a t-shirt on!
You young whipper snappers have it so good nowadays.

oK back on regular schedule. I'm trying to catch up in the event thread... though 8 pages appeared since I posted last. If anyone posted to me directly, prod me. I doubt this has happened since my face is rather new. I'll try to get all the reading in to be up to speed. so far it looks like 90% entertainment? I quit smoking and haven't had on in 4 days.. not ONE, as opposed to 30-35 a day.. so my brain is rattly(sp)..
OK..
yeah..
And now I'm off for the day. It should take me ten minutes to bundle for the weather, but I'll make it safely. It's all downhill, but fortunately it's neither too slippery nor too steep. :D
Morning all.
Hello and howdy everyone! It's been a while. I hope everyone had a safe New Year's. Welcome to 2004!
After today everything in GsC is back to normal now, right?
Stupid.
Wish me luck. I brave a fine dust of snow and 15-24 mph winds for a freaking twenty-dollar dress.
I woke up late, and ate real home cooking, didn't have to do anything, went riding and shooting with my friend and had a generally great time.
Anyway, I just wanted to post I am back, it was an unexpected and very welcome break, so I am sorry if anyone tried to talk to me at the feast.

As for me... it's taken me maybe six years to lose twenty pounds? Blah.
Remember, kids, any loss of more than two pounds per week is unhealthy!
It is a doctor approved diet and they told me approx. what I could expect to lose in weight a month. So in about 5 months I should be at my target weight.
As for Frank Trollman, yeah, he's very good at finding ways to use the rules to create insane combinations. Please remember that just because, by the mechanics, you can do a thing doesn't mean you should. Some craziness is to be expected, I'm sure, but even if we haven't anticipated something that sacrifices everything (including perhaps taste) to mechancal manipulation, we'll have to overrule it -- and try to work on an acceptable aternative where in the gam'es best interest.

I used a sixth of the Spam, but I followed the directions on the can for ALL of it. That is, you would microwave all of the Spam, sans can, for x seconds. I used only a sixth of the Spam, though, but still microwaved it for x seconds.Microwave blew up, had a hissy fit, and then died.

Is this one of those times when the innocent apologize for the actions of other people's [ex-]boyfriends?
My best friend's girlfriend used an opportunity when I was getting a ride from him (like two years back) to say every little thing wrong that Jeff (my friend) did. By the end of the five minutes from school to where we dropped her off (at her home... though if I were him I would've dropped her off sooner) I was glassed over thinking, "So I was that bad in my past life... why did they bother giving me a another chance to redeem myself?"
But don't dish washers wash every surface of bowls?

You have to invest a lot of time and money in a woman, e.g. lots of cuddle time and dates and fancy dinners and diamonds and such.
"Time is money."
"Money is the (square) root of all evil."
Since time is money, substitute money for time, so that you must invest money squared in a woman.
If money is the root of all evil, substitute the root of all evil for money.
The root and the square cancel.

That's nothing new though - the Known World setting for original D&D (soon to be transfered to AD&D as the Mystara setting) had a strike force of Elves, Dwarves, Halfling and Gnomes rappeling down from airborne Pterradactyls into a huge unground city floating on laval that was filled with Orcs, Goblins, Kobolds, Bugbears, and such. All this was going on in amonst anti-air magics and dogfighting between yet more Pterradactyls carrying members of both sides.
According to the supplement, this was but once offensive in a campaign that lasted about 3 months of games time, where the sole purpose for the surface forces was to claim the city and wipe out the enemy forces. They eventually mamaged to do this - but then some sneaky Night Elves somehow manages to get up and cut the conquering forces from the surface.
It ended with another 3 weeks of fighting as the trapped surface forces tried to get out to the surface - followed by a peace treaty that had no sides attacking the other, because it cost too much...

I need to find my tape player to really hear myself singing.. :D

What is the problem? I know quite a bit about horses, having ridden them since I was a child.

Nothing much. I just have to properly handle, care for, and generally show affection for Courage - which is fun, because I berely know where to pat without the damn thing exploding on me...
The best thing about snow is that you tend to end up in spontaneous snowball fights with complete strangers on opposite sides of the roads...
It's wise not to go out, unless you are THE ONE... or atleast capable of giving as good as you get!
Hello everyone, what a crazy couple of days it has been.
I hope all is well.
I was wondering if I could join this fine game. I have a character fully ready and with the GMs permissions I can e-mail them each a copy. I have reviewed the rules and spent much time becomming familiar with this style of role-play.
If there is no room it is no big deal...just sign me up on the waiting list. I check my mailbox here on the boards regularly.
Thanks fer the consideration, and may the swartz be with you :D.

Meanwhile, here it's risen above freezing today, an increase of twenty-five degrees (not including wind chill) since the start of the week. Once you've done a few days in the minus twenties, those temperatures of minus ten and higher seem remarkably mild.
Don't worry - you'll all get used to it.

You remind me of a girl in my CS class. She comes into class every day and just sits in the back. She's not enrolled in the class, and isn't even interested in CS. She's become our Official Mascot. I think that you ought to be our mascot, the official GsC lurker, the one that all others aspire to, a role model to all that hide in the shadows of message boards.

Welcome to the game when you get in!
I'm certainly very impressed and pleased you actually went through the rules! Some earlier applicants neglected that little bit, complaining it was "rilly long can u gimme a short version?" Your company here would be very welcome, Taa-ko.Actually, the language is stronger, but that's the gist of it. :P
He starts singing 'Yellow Submarine' and she immediately pipes up with 'We all live in a pink submarine, a pink submarine!' He's now taking her to listen to his 'Best of the Beatles' CD to prove to her it's a yellow submarine :P
If it isn't too inconvenient, could I please ask you four to send me a PM with your specific screen resolutions? On the other hand, if you think it's not important, it's perfectly okay, too, if you don't send me one.
Wouldn't it be better if Julia didn't stay as a lurker forever?
Sensan, sent.

Thanks, Coddy.
I added your screen resolution to the poll.Stroking his neck is the best place to tell him he is a good boy, and if you are mounted, pat his shoulder with your hand. A crop is only for spurring a horse onwards, but may be impractical with a lance. If you use spurs, use blunted single spurs, not the kind that cowboys used, as they can easily tear your horses flanks up, especially in heavy combat when you are using your kness to hold on tight. Personally I use a German style Prince of Wales spur, or a Swan Neck, depending on whether I am just riding or whether I plan on firing a gun on horseback.
You need two blankets, a saddle blanket, saddle, bit, (preferably two types, either a snaffle bit or an elevator bit, and a hackamore) bridle, halter basically a lot of tack. You'll probably want a martingale if you don't plan on teaching Courage to bite, as this will keep his head reined in while you hack away on his back at your enemies.
For taking care of him, just make sure you walk him after you've trained with him so as to coll him off properly, and then curry him.
You can wash him about once a week if you exercise every day, and you should go no more than 3 days without exercising him. Plaiting his mane and tail will keep it neater then just leaving it straggly, and bringshing them regulerly, especially after his bath will keep them in good showing condition.
The farrier should visit him about every month to check on his hooves and clean them out, and replace the shoes about every 3 months or as he loses one. Muck out the stable daily, or have soemone do it for you. Very important, as horses get very grumpy when they don't have fresh bedding.
The feed mix is important as he needs enough roughage to keep him healthy, just hay isn't the best. He should graze on fresh grass once or twice a week when it's available, but never leave him for too many days, as they get fat quickly on grass and no exercise.
If he isn't castrated he'll be very difficult to handle with a hackamore, and you'll probably want the snaffle bit. If he's more for just riding, then an elevator bit should be just fine, or the hackamore.
I don't know how much of your questions and concerns I addressed, or how much any of this applies to Garic's and Courage...
WWII entrenching tool... I take that you have a foldable army shovel, which has spade area of luxurious square foot if even that. Familiar tool to me, thanks to Finnish Army which uses modern version of such thing. Evil thing... especially if you have to dig 5 feet deep foxhole with it... to hard ground. Shoveling snow with one of those - that's just plain torture.

Whoever heard of a student working? :P:P
And I meant on my char-sheet, the concept is there, I'm just too lazy to write it out in word and send it away :P
By the posts made by you and Maelut, the expression that the scene taking place is between you two, Natala and a NPC named Elise. Also, I assumed that the scene bears relation to certain posts made to Special Events thread, as IIRC name of barmaid you were talking to was given as Elise. Hence, I thought that my attention wasn't required in that relation, given that I am not very familiar with the scene and that Codrian is not always present at the shop.
Another point of "disregarding" presence of other people at the shop was because of Thosar's player's request. He explicitly asked for Codrian to tell Thosar IC that Natala wasn't available and thus the scene for the conversation was created to be an empty shop, excluding the two participants.
Sorry for the frustration, but I don't think I ignored Joseph. I don't handle NPCing Natala if there's a need. (And bearing in mind Natala's player's current situation, expecting quick replies from her is not realistic.) It's not very nice that characters end up trebled occasionally, but that doesn't outright mean that the char in question is being ignored.
I hope this clears up the matter a bit.
:PAnd still, it's only one char sheet and short description. Come on. ;)
Sensan... "Coddy"? "Coddy"?!?! Sheesh... maybe I should name my char "Plain Fish".

Speaking of going to great lengths to "avoid" work...
Once I tried to figure out how many mini marshmallows it would take to fill a hollow shell of the Empire State Building. I would have taken into consideration the effect of Earth gravity, too, pulling down on the marshmallows and condensing them / the weight of the topmost marshmallows compressing the ones below them to make additional room for more marshmallows.
Scheherielle said to pretend I was filling it in space, so there would be no gravity or compression.
Even so, Kywyn said I would have to use calculus, but I wasn't enrolled in the class at the time, so I gave that up. :sad:

Do the marshmellows you eat count? Because that would be a lot more...
Can you say, " 'huub-ie un-knee?" (chubby bunny)
Fixxed the post in Natala's shop.
A) How long would it take one person to eat all the marshmallows, 1) if eaten constantly, or 2) if allowing for breaks?
B) How many people, if eating together, could deplete all the Empire State marshmallows in one day?
And now that you know calculus, can you build the Marshmallow State Building?
And thanks, Joseph -- I appreciate it.
He changes term names all the time... Sigma notation is complicated enough without his infernal ramblings...

Originally posted by Sensandela
Hehehe, wrong! :D I'll never drink, and I'll never smoke, even though I now can! Bah! Foo on your jell-o shots, whatever those are.
Drinking sucks. I went to one frat party during 0-week. Terrible beer. I swear, this frat must've travelled arround the world to get the cheapest, most disgusting lite beer, and then decided to cut it with water.
Drinking is especially terrible when you are one of those people that can absorb alcohol in the throat... You will know if you are that type of person if you feel a vomit-like tingle when you have your first sip... but then again, it might've been the terrible beer... Ouzo didn't give me any weird feeling.
But another reason to not drink: Alcohol stays in your system for 30 days. While it is in your system it interferes with REM sleep. During REM sleep is when your brain sorts out the happenings of the day to move it from short term to long term memory. If you drink a lot, your long term memory becomes unreliable at best, nonexistant at worst. As a student, you can imagine how terrible it would be to study something, remember that you studied, but forget what you studied.
I drank once during my first quarter in College (during 0-week) and I got a 3.85. Half my dorm seems to go out drinking every week, they got 2.5 to 3.20.
Don't drink, it tastes terrible. Soda is better because it has sugar or nuetrasweet.
No worries, though! My favorite drinks are durian smoothies and bubble tea!:bounce: Bubble bubble bubble bubble...!
And now I am feeling somewhat queasy, after that "bubble bubble" line.
Hey, try sticking your tongue out at the same time while you are rolling your eyes. :P
Nah. It makes you look like a wonky hippo.I'm going to bed. Goodnight!
Welcome Taa-ko! I'mthinking you are going with a Ranger, or perhaps a Druid.
If I add Barbarian, Paladin, Sorcerer, or Wizard - we'd have covered every PHB class between us all... :D
And I never said "rilly long canna gimme the short version?" My words were "So what ARE the rules, then?"
And yes, Taa-Ko, I do know my horses. I've been riding alone since I was 5.
Now I just do hunts or cross-country, and occasionally horseback target shooting. But still, once you learn to ride, you never forget. Same goes for dealing with show tack and all those fun things that go along with show jumping and dressage.
[edit: It seems my spacebar wants to go on holiday.
]Editted again, just for Da' Vane.:P Chestnut is a solid colour, it's that reddish colour that makes horses so beautiful. If your horse were to be brown, then he could be a bay. (That would mean black mane and tail.)
And it is scaring me that you picked a chestnut yearling stallion! If you had named it Baz I'd fly to wherever you are and give you a kiss.:P
(My ideal stallion is named Bazile...and he is 17 hands+, yearling, chestnut.:D)
Sorry if there was any confusion on that point.
And MY horsey can have black hair if it wants too... :P

I've known some absolutely beautiful blood bays... A little darker and redder than your average sorrel (I can use my western term for chestnut, hah :P), black mane and tail, muscles that ripple at the slightest movement...
But I think my favorite color on a horse is blue roan.

Eww...I can't believe you actually like blood bays.:P Actually, they look better than a regular bay, but tack is hard to match to them, as black tack doesn't look as good on them, and reddish tack is too light.
As for blue roan...I do not care for any roan horse, the white is too scruffy looking for my English bred tastes, I like solids only.:P
I don't like Arabians because they are too small, but the Paso Fino (Arabian cross-bred with the Andalusian stepping horse) are nice, if still a little small. :D
Yes, I am very picky.
Any horse I own has to be steeplechaser or hunter bred, and I have to get it as a yearling, or a foal. Old horses don't get used to a shotgun going off a few feet from their head very well.
see... beautiful.

Um, I know it can't be helped, the way some characters react to Sensan on account of her being part orc. They were brought up to think that way, or they had bad experiences with orcs.
I was thinking about withdrawing Sensan permanently, though, because it kind of hurts whenever I play her. I hurt for her, and I hurt for myself because the situation reminds me of similar feelings I've had before.
Maybe I should have known before I entered the game how half-orcs... don't quite fit in, and that's my own fault for having had absolutely no experience with D&D before ST cajoled me into it.
As I said, I have no idea what I want or expect out of saying this. But I thought it was somehow important and required mentioning.
I'm glad my Sensan is a half-orc, though. It's just part of her, and I am quite fond of her even though she's a bit of a loony.
Sensadala.. would you be interested in hooking up with Tensek, Kai and Lucian in their pursuit of loot?

First the classes
NOTE: No cohorts were counted :P
- Fighters are still in first with a whopping 10.
- While the Roguish community follows closely behind with 8.
- Those crazy arcane spell casters follow closely behind with:
Wizards at 7.
Bards at 7.
and Sorcerors with a close 6. - Next we have two divinely influenced classes with:
5 Clerics.
and 5 Rangers. - Barbarian's round out their numbers with an uneven 3.
- While Paladins, Druids, and Monks seem least popular with 2 each.
And now the races
- Humans are still the most numerous with a massive 21.
- Elves follow not so closely behind with 9 of their own.
- These two are followed by 3 Half-Elfs and 3 Half-Orcs.
- Halflings, Dwarves and Gnomes fall short with 2.
- Finally the roster is rounded out with 1 wolf.

Quiet possible, but the player closed his eyes and used Hermy's plan of dressing up as a girl to distract the bad guys. So using my hat of disguise I transformed my appearance into a female orc wearing next to nothing. I then lured about half of the orcs in the room to their deaths before the others got suspicious.

The day before we're set to leave the state, they finally get around to deciding they may total our car.
If something needs my immediate attention as Natala, please email or PM me; I'll be catching up on reading NMS, at least, as soon as I can manage it, but we're left with significantly less time than we had planned before my husband starts back to class, and there are certain things that need to be done before then (this being the last time he's off from school before the baby's due), so this game will be getting less of my attention than usual (though more than it has in the last several weeks). Unless someone specifically asks for me, I'll be concentrating on posting under my Shorn SN so that I don't leave Kai, Lucian, and Tensek trebled any longer than necessary.
Joseph, I don't know what happened with your posts in NMS, as I haven't gotten to read them yet; could you please let me know privately, so I know whether I need to try to give you some attention there or not? (Even if that particular situation has now been resolved, I'll still be happy to play out any scene with you -- you have but to ask.)
In my personal life: I have maternity clothes at last. Nice and comfy. Ahh...

Grubian Physics is the name of Physics where you change how physics works. Imagine if it were was Grubian physics? We could change the laws of travel to allow for faster than light speed... or change gravity to allow for inertialless engines... (think Star Trek where they used Gravity to propel the ships forward)

I guess... if you changed physics so that you and silly puddy could occupy the same position in space/time...
Spelljammers (great campaign setting from before my time) used Grubian physics ("How is that fighter in armor breathing?! How is that ship flying?").
Edit: Oh no... that coin is gonna kill me... I just put 2 and 2 together... I interrupted a GM's player's romantic encounter... I bet this coin will do something awful... like place a visible to all arcane mark on my forehead that says, "Thief." Wait, I better not give the GM's any ideas.

When multiclassing my human wiz8 into wiz8/clr1, do I get the benefits of being human?I.e. extra feat, and 1 extra skillpoint?
Ooo ooo... Munchkin to the Rescue.
Humans get their bonus human skill point for all classes. However when you multiclass you add up all levels to calculate your feats:
So Wiz 8/Clr 1 counts as a 9th level character. So as a human you would have 5 feats: Human, 1, 3, 6, and 9.
But you also get 3 + Int mod in skills for cleric.
Only the first level's skills is multiplied by 4. Didn't it say this in the PHB?
Well, back from nap. *looks around*

Not like that. Thanks Joseph, Sheherazade.

You said it was a human cleric. 2 + Int Mod + 1 is simiplified to 3 + Int Mod. Whenever you see an odd number before the + Int Mod, it implies you are dealing with a race that gets an extra skill point. Check any standard starting package.
You're right, Joseph. It's things like that that keep slipping my mind.

Alas, such is the case, but I will make the best of it. May God give me the strength to do so all day - and give me time for DDR later today, too! :DNow it comes to a decision - do I...
a) Take another level in Paladin (BOR-RING!)
b) Submit the new 3.5 errata that allows Paladins to become Blackguards at level 3 (So what is it's in crayon...
)c) Realise this is a cruel hoax - that I shouldn't get a level for getting a new mount (Unless its a new magical lucky mount - "Aww, I love you Courage! You're the bestest horsey I's ever had!)
d) Assume that GsC it using the Ghostwalk rules, and that the level really applies to Da' Vane - the extremely famous bard-ghost of the Last Lich Inn ("Huzzah-ooooooowwww")

Tagg, there's a good chance that the owl only gets 1 skill point per HD.
You know how your Int modifier applies to the number of skill points you get? An animal's low Intelligence, even if it's boosted by being a character's companion, usually gives them an Int modifier higher than the number of skill points they get per HD. But, like a character with a really crummy Con still gets at least one hit point per level animals get at least one skill point. I don't have stats for an owl or animal companions near on-hand, so I can't verify. But I hope that helps.

Going back off the current topic slightly, but Nobody's is not locked, can we post to it?
"A giant of a man, clad in black-enamalled gothic full-plate, walks slowly through the crowd. Only his head is bare, and shows him to be remarkably ugly. His head is shaved, or perhaps he is naturally bald, and his nose is squashed and crooked. His skin is pale - clearly, he usually wears the great-helm currently tucked under his arm.
Over one shoulder he has a massive axe, its blade as dark as his armour." (Snatched from 'Shac's char descrip.)
.Maybe I should retire for a little lie down... nah!
Paladin's need high CHA to cast spells and gather followers. I liked them when they were a sub-division of the Cavalier, which is one of the best PC classes of all times, as far as I am concerned.

Actually talking about Faith, BBEW Gamis, Ivan, Kai, and Natala had to deal with wayyyy back seven levels ago.
I think the duel between Faith and Gamis still sticks in ST's head as one of the most memorable, when I missed a smite attack on her, was dropped to 1 hp, and just barely dropped her on the next swing. That was close. >.< Then nutso dominatrix lady, who grinned like a crocodile while giving and receiving swordwounds, stabilizes on her own, giving me evidence that ST's percentiles are crazy as a loon.

With that 17, you need a thac0 of 11.:D
You're right, 3e makes it easier, but I hate being able to roll over a 20 with modifiers, it's insulting the poor d20.
Don't take my pressious mods away, I like them its easy. Roll a d20, add your modifier. Beat the DC or AC you suceed, if you don't you fail. We simple people like our simple things...

I want to take 20 on all my attack rolls, but the rules don't bend that way.

The thing is that there are a few things that we can't lock, unfortunately. Nobody's Inn and Natala's Store are the two I recall, and the latter sometimes has seen a discussion that was started on an earlier day continued through lockdown, after getting approval. (The conversations there can take awhile to play out.)
If you are finishing a conversation there, Angelique, consider this approval to do so today. As long as traffic doesn't build up at the inn, we aren't likely to turn down a request, but please remember to make it first.
Just keep in mind this is only for finishing something started earlier, not for starting a new conversation.

How surprising, :D
- Start with the base creature's base hit dice: 2 HD for a wolf, for example.
- Add the bonus HD gained by the animal companion based on the druid's (or ranger's) level.
- Hit points shall be (4.5 + Con modifier) x that new number of HD.
- Using the new HD figure for the creature, multiply the HD by 3/4 and round the result down to determine the creatures BAB.
- To determine the attack modifiers, use this new BAB and add the creature's Str modifier (or Dex modifier, if the creature has the Weapon Finesse feat and Dex is higher than Str) and size modifier for the primary attack. Secondary attacks are at a -5 penalty on the attack roll, or -2 if the creature has the Multiattack feat.
- The animal companion's Fortitude and Reflex save are equal to 1/2(HD) +2, plus any modifier for Con or Dex (as well as any feat or other benefit that would adjust saving throws)
- The companion's Will save is equal to a third of the animal's HD, modified by Wis and any other benefit it's been given to improve saving throws.
Does this help any?
Same for the one for the test, just crtl+c and crtl+v it.

Actually, they're an anti-cult. About a year ago, some kid wanted to join their community, but they made him do hundreds of hours of work, and he had to take a ton of tests. Eventually they let him in, but they're not really looking for new people.
And I'm not mean to them, it's just a strange sight to see carts on a road with a speed limit of 55.
(This is a big oversimplification)
The amish are a group of quite religious (christian) people who don't believe in any technology. They refer to all outsiders as "The English" and they spend almost all of their time praying and working. Most of them are either farmers or basic tradesmen (blacksmiths, tailors). Around here, a lot of the furniture is Amish-made, and some of the really expensive clothing shops stock Amish-made items (500-600 dollars apiece).

- To determine the attack modifiers, use this new BAB and add the creature's Str modifier (or Dex modifier, if the creature has the Weapon Finesse feat and Dex is higher than Str) and size modifier for the primary attack. Secondary attacks are at a -5 penalty on the attack roll, or -2 if the creature has the Multiattack feat.
- The animal companion's Fortitude and Reflex save are equal to 1/2(HD) +2, plus any modifier for Con or Dex (as well as any feat or other benefit that would adjust saving throws)
- The companion's Will save is equal to a third of the animal's HD, modified by Wis and any other benefit it's been given to improve saving throws.
Does this help any?
from that i have 45 total HP for an effective druid level 5 animal companion of owl variety, +3 base Ref and Fort bonuses, +1 base Will bonus, +2 BAB. does this make sense?
(average owl HD is 1d8; for Advancement it shows 2 HD, unsure of which is applicable)

Go with the information for animal companions. Your owl plays by different rules than most of his species, now. ;)
WHAT! To tell Kai not to kill a PC is like telling Maelut not to cook...or Angelique not to be a hippy.....or for Joe not to horribly fail with the ladies!! Almost like telling people that they should promise not to breath or something like that.:whatsthisOriginally posted by Kai Heishall

It does, but, since those examples are in Common, I meant, does Dwarven (as the language) have dialects?

What amuses me is that this, Zd20, which I've had my grubby little hands in since inception, is going to be bigger by far than Unearthed Arcana, and not cost a cent.

Paladin's need high CHA to cast spells and gather followers. I liked them when they were a sub-division of the Cavalier, which is one of the best PC classes of all times, as far as I am concerned.
The character is a very commanding and impressive man he's just not handsome like the wussy paladins in this city. :P
And a Paladin's spells are determined by wisdom not charisma. ;)
The Avowed are sort of like the male channelers (only they don't go crazy and they aren't one gender).
The Mage Tower is a lot like the Aes Sedai of the White Tower (again, except for the pure female gender).
The game is more skill and roleplaying driven than "traditional D&D" hack and slash driven
The Strikers are reminicent of the Cairheinen (sp?) and their great game of houses. Sort of. (they try to amass power)
The city guard could be seen as the borderlanders... (maybe not)
The Bards are like the gleemen...

Have you seen the Insanity table?
Do you have to make maddness checks (will saves) when you take a point of damage? Do you foam at the mouth when you touch your source of power? (yes, at Madness 30+ anytime they try to channel... they must make a will save)
I'm scared... Wheel of Time "magic" might be more destructive to cities and landscapes... but D&D magic is a LOT more destructive to the PC... (I mean... a channeler has to use a level 6 slot for a 6d6+channeler level fireball)
We go insane slowly. Still not sure what causes it. But I'm pretty sure it has to do with Verinal singing, "I feel pretty" all the time.
Poor poor Sat.
Yeah, I can see how that could hurt. Still, at least he's not given to "It's Raining Men!" like a certain troll in the mountains.
And with that, I'm off.

Book of Women
This dark tome reveals its secrets only to the bravest men. It deals 20d6 female-based damage to any man that thinks about trying to look for it. Opening the book immediately affects the reader with eyebite, doom, and any other gaze attacks that the DM deems appropriate. Any man who reads it must make a Will save (DC 50) or go Insane, as the spell. Anyone that succeeds at this save gains a +40 insight bonus on all checks involving women (unless their name is Joseph Kell, because getting your dates killed just isn't good for the reputation).

That's cool news, Maelut.
I would advise you that the matter won't be up to me should there be a CoC violation. It would be up to Paradox. If you want to skirt the edges of innuendo, you would be well advised to remember that you have each other's AIM addresses. Open a chat room if you want an audience. Mind the minors.
But stop testing the boundaries. It tends to make people who can crush you irritable. Be grateful that the itchy trigger fingers are no longer at the helm, and that this one would be up to the WizOs if someone (anyone) feels you've crossed a line. Just ask yourself if you really want to risk their ire. Losing players this way can get annoying for the rest of us too, if that means anything to anyone.
So far, no trouble. But don't push it.

"Here, Virgil and Dante see a group of souls running constantly from one side of the pouch to the other. On both of the pouch’s containing ridges, demons with great whips scourge the souls as soon as they come within reach, forcing them back to the opposite ridge. Dante recognizes a bard there and speaks to him; the soul informs Dante that he lived in Garic's City and now dwells here because he accidentally murdered a lady while attempting to lure her to bed. This pouch is for the Seducers—those who deceive women for their own advantage."
The book, of course, is the Inferno. Gotta love these classics, man.

and why the group just breaks out into completely strange antics following up a serious conversation about the kobolds eludes me.
*shrug*
*walks back to park to muster a response*
And yes, in about an hour it will return to normal.

And I think it would be cute.
And Angelique: no. There will be no dancing. None.
And again that low-level cadre has fortified itself inside Nobody's, how do they think to meet anyone that way? Waiting for the inn to move so that they can just sit and get from one place to another?

The half-orc pauses in mid-step to glance at two men, crouched on the sidewalk. They stare very intently at... Sensandela glances across the street at a humble bakery and back at the men, who have not so much as blinked since she stopped.
.oO(Geez. I know I've been hungry before, but...)
"Are you guys that hungry? Staring won't fill you up any more, you know. All right, come with me," she sighs good-naturedly as she drags the two statues away by their collars.
The group round a corner and disappear.
The staccato sound of rapid-fire gunshot erupts from the bakery. It is accompanied, not long after, by the obligatory shatter of glass, likely a window somewhere in the building or a mirror - or a donut display case.
Lucian tosses aside his walking stick. His hand darts forth like a ravenous cobra and snatches up, not the lapels of a fearful and quivering baker, but a plump, greasy donut - still warm, colorful sprinkles set perfectly atop a coat of chocolate glaze.
Now he runs.
Behind him, the baker rears his head and roars, the vibration of the machine gun shaking his fat jowls.
Lucian scrambles down the set of steps and then freezes.
.oO(Where are Tensek and Kai?)
To answer the question, the aforementioned two are tied securely to chairs at a table. Now Kai and Tensek stare at the dish set before them.
On the table is what Sensandela cheerfully announces as a Renaissance delicacy called "the Big Egg, made of about thirty eggs cooked in two rinsed pig bladders! :D Eat up, boys.

Be more scary if every villian had a Mirror of Opposition.
There is a Dungeon Adventure where a Hound Archon was hunting this woman, and she managed to get him to view her Mirror of Opposition, and then dismissed the original before the duplicate could kill it (and thus end its own existance). The Hound "Dark-chon" dedicated itself to ruining everything the Archon worked to protect.
Now that is scary... having the PC's fight themselves.

Don't apologize for posting here.
That's why this particular thread has in parentheses in the title, "Visitors Welcome."As for the character information, you said you don't know what to include in the "character description." That means you've already got character statistics - or whatever they are, like Str +5 etc. - figured out?
As far as the description goes, I think anything goes.People usually include a brief history of the character's life up to current times, and a description of what they currently look like, what they wear. I believe you're supposed to assume that anything you write in your description will be common knowledge amongst other characters - so if there is something your character keeps secret, you wouldn't put that in your description.
(As far as I know, anything goes, Tyros.
Then again, I don't know much.)You send all that via e-mail to the DMs, of which we have two or three or two and a half.
Their names are shatteredtower, scheherazade, and kneijable or something. The latter one I believe you can just address as Kenny, since it's more spell-able. :DYou can find their e-mail addresses on their profiles. If you see posts made by them, you can use the buttons on the bottom of their posts to e-mail.
Sorry for talking so much.
Hope it helped, though.Originally posted by Sensandela

I believe he prefers to be called, "Mister Kenny."
(That's why I call him Stan.)
But to address Tyros question. No not anything goes. You can submit anything though. If something doesn't fit the campaign you will be told what and how it can be modified to fit.
A basic description is a good start and a brief background is helpful. No need to go into many specifics on that. Most of that can be worked out as you get to know your character and the gameworld better.
The important things are the statistics. (Abilities, feats, skills, equipment, race, class etc.) After that comes appearance so other players no what you look like. (Height, weight, hair color, eyes color, etc.) This also becomes useful for when Kywyn draws a portrait of your character.
Describing a few personality traits is often helpful as well. (Are you brave? greedy? lazy? clumsy? loud? etc.)
It helps the DMs if you have a few motivations as well, but just like real life motavation isn't required to play. (It certainly makes it funner though.)
Once you've got all that done you can include a bit of background information. (Who your parents were? Are they still alive? Where you got that nifty scar on your nose? Were you raised by your dads brother Robert?) You can get as detailed on that as you would like but if you leave a few things blank you can grow into it easier. (And it gives the DMs more room to plot things for you.)
If you aren't sure exactly what you'd like ask here again or send an email to the DMs. Just about everyone* playing here would be happy to help.
*Don't ask Marroc for help. He's a liar and a cheat.
Watch out for the cookie-monster under the bed. :P
Each ability starts out:
Str 8
Dex 8
Con 8
Int 8
Wis 8
Cha 8
you have 32 points now to improve those any way you want.
a score of 10 would be 2 points for example, 12 four points, 14 six point. up to 14 it is one point for one increase. for a score of fifteen though it costs 8 points, not 7. and a score of 16 is ten points. Above sixteen each increase begins to cost 3 points, etc.
after youve spent all your points, you apply any racial modifiers.
a better chart of the how many points a certain ability would cost is here, just scroll down one post.
every even number of a score you have the better the bonus. for example:
8 is a -1 penalty
10 is a +0 bonus
12 is +1
14 is +2
16 is +3
etc.
After I start playing, what should I do?
then, well, yeah you can choose whatever equipment you want as long as you ration it out within your gold.
your bow will probably take up most of your funds (regular longbow if you dont plan on having a bonus in Str; composite if you do). then probably some light armor, and whatever else you want

o, btw here is a pretty good SRD, better than the black and white wizards one imo
What should I do after I'm approved by the DM's? I mean, should i get into an adventure or meet someone or, or, or... I don't know... what should I do?

Now what I find the problem is i cant set my computer clock correctly.. its ten minutes fast but it wont let me set it manually..
How's everyone been? I was a little bit occupied the past few days, and will be the next few as well. Preparing a bit of the old paperwork...
Expect rather sporadic posting from moi in the near future as a result of this thing called work that I am being forced to do.

As a first level character you get one feat, if you are human, you get two feats. If you were a fighter you'd get another feat for a total of 3, but I think I saw somewhere you are going to be a ranger.
Skills are up to you, you'll have 6 + your intelligence modifier * 4 at first level. You have class skills which are the best to pick from, to get the most of your character.
If you don't have the PHB handy, here is the ranger class from the SRD.

your bow will probably take up most of your funds (regular longbow if you dont plan on having a bonus in Str; composite if you do). then probably some light armor, and whatever else you want

Nah. That's just something akin to "sibling rivalry" or "best friends' teasing" between Maelut and Angelique. :P
More prevalent is wariness of that horrid thing called an orc. :P
BTW Codrian, what country did you say you serve in the military for?
Leather's much easier to dye, though. I believe Hermy had Kirby's studded leather dyed purple before he gave it to Aria.

That would be much better, if of course, I ever get a horse.
Then I would name him Twinkle-Toes.
Perhaps if he were permanently hasted his hooves would glow pink?
As for the armour, that is a fine idea. But, I don't know whether I will have armour or not.
And pink? Pink hoves? Twinkle-Toes?

Sounds good! :D

With any luck, Brodda will get some good pics at the ranch tomorrow, and y'all can see the gorgeousness that is Oregon, not to mention the insufferable cuteness that is (are?

Edit: If the GM's would like me to, I could write a program to allow people to enter information and it would format it (in board code) and save it as a text document (.txt). Then it is ready to copy and paste into an email to the GM's. Granted it would only be set up for level 1 character creation (anything more and I would be better of using MS Excel).
I'm getting flashbacks to the Lucky Luke comics.
:heehee so true
@Tyros: Me too :D And the Netherlands here. But are they known beyond Europe I'm curious to know.
Maybe in China, or in Japan, or even in Albany they'll read it! That would be grand: to know such joy as to read the famous Luky Luke comic books.
(I am not into becoming a merc, even if DP has contact information for couple of better known private military companies.)
So, today we're into pink horses?

And yes, today we are on Pink Toes Horses.
There is a Belgian Ale, called Delirium Moments, that is served ina glass with pink elephants on it. Good ale, cute glass.
:POriginally posted by Codrian
You sure that the glass and the beer are connected? Though, of course it's always possible that Belgians make ale that induces constant delusions of pink elephants (with umbrellas and cyan, pointy slippers)
Yes, if a bar serves Delirium Moments they must serve it in those glasses. It's 8,5% by volume, so it's pretty potent. You also guessed the reasoning behind the elephants on the glasses.
I think I have some Asterixes somewhere... they're in Finnish, though there might've been English or French or Spanish edition in the mix.
For dark colors you just soak it in a dyed version of the curing chemical. (i.e. you are making drying it out and coloring it at the same time).
For lighter colors you have to cure first, bleach bleach, then dye.
Pink Beer? that's a new one...
My son tries to read them, but since he doesn't know French he's kind of ... stymied.
You mean she's not in the game???Oh well, I'm not either :D ;)
YET!
Scheherazade and ST have managed to lure me back with reminders of a level to apply and gold to spend. :D
I grew up with Asterix as well, though I only had about 10 of them. And in English, of course.
well, my horsey won't be wearing those cheap hooves...
he'll be wearing big boots to kick some dragon buts... They have buts, right? And then your sorry little horse will want to buy some boots too and he won't be able to do that because horseboots don't even exist. ) slump, and am working on that edit. Something tells me I shouldn't have turned my IM's on.So after the lockdown :P
I'm noo leet, far from it! I'm just trying to chat whilst I'm not approved to play.
But I do not feel insulted easily... If my interpretation of your comentary is correct, that is. Anyway, I gotta get going and hit the hay. :DBe well until we meet again everyone.

Sensandela, feel free to use the distraction I just posted as a means to introduce your character to the party: chasing the dog, stealing sausages from the vendor who's chasing the dog, watching the commotion in dismay and hoping not to get blamed for it... I'm sure your imagination can handle it. ;) As we discussed, your participation in this adventure can take whatever form you feel is appropriate to your character.

From the look of things, I should be pretty busy on my days off. I'll try to take a look at Joseph's work tomorrow, when I can focus on it well enough to actually offer anything approaching useful, meaningful commentary, but the initial impression is favourable, and I thank you, Joseph.
In other news, those who have sent in character submissions over the weekend should hear from me within the next 24 hours (or less, I hope).
And Julia, consider your character added to the census as of this post, as it's going to take me at least a few more hours to actually record her on the census.
Next stage -- catch up on the reading of the day's events!
Only a couple things i noticed:
The line on Base Attack Bonus doesn't allow you to type in any more characters in the box, or replace the zeroes with other numbers (just deletes them)
And maybe add a box for other equipment (unless it is assumed that this goes under "funds?"), and one for "other" or "miscellaneous" for things like familiars (although no first level character will have this i dont think) or animal companions (druid) or any other exclusive class features that might require an extra box

the BAB thing is easy to fix (if only it would load up the editor). I didn't allow for enough characters.
I was thinking of putting in a few standard equipment options.
"Backpack, Bedroll, Flint and Steel, Sack..." and have a price.
The animal companion thing is a valid point... I guess I thought that Druids were in the same boat as Sorcerers and Wizards.

Ewww.
Whats wrong with cold tea? I happen to like it! Then again I was raised by a southerner.
Iced tea is awsome, so long as its not sweat.
and since both of their main purposes (i think) is to haul stuff around.. a mule can carry much more (250 lb. and under for light load compared to 50 lb. and under for a donkey).. So I have a request:
If I would be allowed to trade Brie (my donkey) in for a mule at Nobody's. Could probably be worked in in-character easily enough...
Since Brie has been there for a while, Piper the stable boy could have grown some kind of bond with it. As compensation he or Marroc allows Tagg to have one of his mules which are domesticated and would be agreeable to coming with Tagg. Something like that I guess. *shrug*
(statistically I don't think this would be much of a problem.. would be an even trade since both cost 8 gp according to PHB)
If not allowed, its not a big deal. Brie is still the added comparison of another person as far as carrying goes.

Excellent.

Nice phrases, Miri. Is there a second stanza?
(I do not like expressing my opinion on poetry often, as mine always differs from the norm. I do like the piece however!)
It's a complete piece hence, no, I do not think there should be a second stanza. The stanza describes a cycle, leading us to believe that the experience is repetetive and monotonous by the time of expression. A second stanza would be a mirror of the first, verbatim.
To differ from this, you need a fresh start, a new piece. This would be able to break the monotony, and give hope where before it was dying. Both could be read seperately, or in order of 1,2 or 2,1. In the latter, the monotony could be explained by an earlier experience and in the former the monotony has yet to be broken by this experience.
Right, ummm, back to your regular posting now.
Keep them coming Scheherazade.
P.S. What made you choose her over Dunazade? Just interested.
No, there isn't more to the poem, Angelique had it quite right, it describes a complete cycle.As for why Scheherazade and not Dunazade: because when I agreed to take on the dm job here, I switched from playing to being a storyteller ;) Oh, and there was another reason, but it's personal.

*gulp* ups...
I warn you that while my character is not approved I'm armed with a very big and heavy cell phone that can call people, answer to people's calls, send messages, receive messages, has newspaper, internet, microwaves, physeotherapy, and an ironing service. :D yeah... you can call it multitasked. :D
That and my head is covered by a popcorn bag, with two holes in it so i can see. And i have a fly strapped to my back just in case I need ta fly. So if you want to start making some rubble... hit Tenksek. :D

Gamis @ So if I wanted to become an Archmage, for example, I'd have to submit that request to the DMs?
Even if you meet the requirements, you won't get to take a PrC unless the DMs are impressed with your roleplaying efforts in that regard. ;)
I'll do my best! .o0(hope that's enough, though)
But I doubt a Sorcerer could get to Archmage because most Sorcerers join the secret society that I know nothing about...
Joseph, I only used the Archmage as an example... I really want to be a ranger rather than a wizard. It suits my interests a lot better.
Thanks for the help, though. :D

You do?
Mind telling me what it is? Frail memory, you see. :DI would think any allowed PrCs might be tweaked to fit the campaign setting and tied to a certain organization/region/campaign component.
To give certain flavor to the game rather than be character driven class add-ons.
As for you, Mr. Joseph... I'll stick to what I said.
As for that last post, Joseph, I was talking about an Arcane Archer. That should spice the things up a little bit. :D

depends how long/flexible a person's tongue is... Or if they suffer from Vader's Syndrome.. why did you have to make fun of people with Vader's?
Edit: I am just joking. But really, Vader's Syndrome is not something to make fun of (it is when a person doesn't have a Radii in their forearm, missing it causes your arm to grow without guidence so it grows slower and starts to spiral, as a result both the lower and upper arm is shower.)
Didn't know that... But it is imposssible for any normal human being to do that. it's kind of a fact. :P You should try. (if you haven't already :D )Not a big deal, and hasn't been for a while, but keeping the Noise to a semi game related/greetings thread would be advised. There have been instances in the past where it has gotten to be very CoF-like and that's generally frowned upon. I just wanted us all to keep it in mind before the DM's decide a Cyber Act of Nature is called upon to keep us all faithful. Kind of like a 40 days and nights type of thing;)

Of course, I do miss OoC theatre.
"I hope our watermelon is as nice as hers."
Just one more OoC coment that i've read about a couple a days ago in the Guiness World Record Book.
It's one of those records at wich a person should spend years and years training. It's one of those spectacular and previously unheard of records. I'm talking of course of the Underpant-Hoppers. That's right! Underpant-Hoppers. This man, proclaims to be the fastest Underpant-Hopper in the whole wide world. Matthieu Bommier can jumpt in and out of his own underpants 27 times in a minute! (Tycho don't try to do this...). This means that he can jump in and out of his underpants in every 2 seconds.
That's right, a man can be a doctor, an arquitect, an engeneer... he can make lots of great works and have big objectives... Matthieu Bommier can jump in and out of his underpants 27 times in a minute...
Now you all goo ahead and tell me if this isn't the most tedious and I-don't-have-anything-else-to-do case of stupidity you've ever heard of. I guarentee that it is true.
This was my last OoC coment... for now.
Bright side... I did manage to create a char in my head while putting the jars to tiny boxes, tiny boxes to bigger boxes and so on. So, I can multitask. (Now I just have to write the stats for that half-elf paladin somewhere.) :P
And to be the nitpicker, Codrian is a half-elf, not a stinky human. :P

How does a pegasus groom its feathers, having no beak?
On a related note, it would be impossible to ride a pegasus with convetional saddle and tack. The riding style would be so different, similar to a dragon's saddle. This makes the rider able to be no bigger than perhaps a very small elf, thin dwarf or large halfling/gnome.
My secret is out...Tybalt...*sigh* I remeber the days...Gamis my buddy stabbed me in my hand for reals when Romeo and Tybalt fought to the death. I lost lots of blood
But I did get to wear tights and Oh how the ladies cheered me on Oh Angelique, as much as you idea sounds fantastic, I just dont think my Captain of my ship would appreciate it. Not too mention the thought of 3 days in the brig with bread and water doesnt sound too appatizing:D

Juliet hated me. :P We just had only our own imaginations for fight choreography. We practiced, but there were still a couple slip-ups.
And weren't you using wooden weapons, or at least stage props. I wouldn't imagine getting cut with one of them!
:P"I want to live here in Garic, ah!"
I wonder if this means that Mirielle would get to sing, "I Feel Pretty" during the course of the production?
Besides, if Maria could have cast fireball, we'd have seen a very different ending to the story. :P

Nope, no such luck, Ang. She was far too happy with her arrogant jerkface boyfriend (I don't say this out of spite, mind you; the man was not a nice guy) who was a senior while she, myself, and Kai were freshmen, or flirting with Mercutio, who was infinitely more popular than me and Kai (and Kai was pretty well-liked). She moved during our sophomore year and wound up pregnant not long afterward, I believe. She was cute enough, but I ended up writing it off as one of those instances of girls only going for jerks. *shrugs*
As to the weapons, well, Beatty High School's drama department was on a budget... "Not so much a budget, but a broke." I made the swords and daggers myself (except for one knife that was mine--I warned the whole cast about the edge and the props manager missed the memo, but fortunately she only effectively gave herself a papercut with it) from the galvanized mild-steel straps that supported the crossarms on old telegraph poles. They had no edge at all, and I grinded the welds afterward, but there were still a few pokey bits. They sounded beautiful crashing together--flatter than tempered steel would have, but they turned out great.
Thanks.
Greatly appreciated.How's it going?

oh! Yeah that's on purpose... :D Not gonna change it though...

I have absolutely no idea about that... I was never very good with time handlings, let alone those in english.
I must not lose my mind. I must not lose my mind. Would she get to emphasize the song with fireballs? "I feel pretty (boom, boom) oh so pretty (boom, boom)..."

She'd have to drag the song out a bit and take the Quickened Spell feat, I think. And perhaps Silent Spell, so the verbal requirements aren't overshadowing the lyrics. Oh, and she'd likely have to draw up scrolls and prepare fireball in all of her highest level spell slots.
Besides, if Maria could have cast fireball, we'd have seen a very different ending to the story. :P

Now to try to locate a swimsuit for KL so we can go to her swim class!
some of you might have noticed that I am tramping around these boards again and frankly I think it's time That you learned where I have been for the last year or so
It started when I got suspended from work for to much web time and a probation on web use, poor me. My link from home at the time was such that it would take 15 to 20 mins to load a thread, not fun reading one thread, making one post an be about one hour further in time, seemed like a time machine :D
Of course the plan rose to improve the Web connection but then Disaster struck. As some of you know My wife and I were pregnant at that time with our first child.....
To make a long story short 26 weeks in the pregnancy her water broke and for the good of our unborn child she had to go to the hospital where she stayed until our Son was born 6 weeks later, still 8 weeks early but with a good chance for survival according to the doctors. Unfortunately Marijn, our boy had a Heart defect which required open heart surgery when he was only 2,5 weeks old. All in all it took till december ( Marijn was 2 moths old by then) before we were all home and could begin to pick up our slightly changed life.
Marijn is doing extremly well now, healthy as any baby should be and that gave us the time to start organizing things like a better web access.
I don't really know you you or any of the other players for that matter, but let me be the first one to welcome you again and to congratulate you for such a feat. I hope Marijn continues to be alright, since I have a little sister and would never want anything bad to happen to her. :D I bet everything will be fine for you from now on.
My best wishs

Did a lot of book filing today, so I won't be around this evening. I cleared most of a shelf of comics, leaving me with three more to file so I can determine what I keep and what I ship out.
I also discovered that I've misplaced a few of my D&D books in the move; material from 2nd Edition that I was certain I'd packed with everything else. Time to check more boxes again, I guess.
Anyway, time for me to sleep. I think. In a few minutes.

Well... I think you mean boosting Joseph to level 2 and not Angelique?
Level 1: Angeliqué, Jaroo Jah’Hoozdahwhee, Julia, Tycho, and Ulerian
Level 2: Joseph and Kieran
Level 3: Amarandios, A'mok, Boirin, Da'Vane, Eli, Maelut, and Tharokke
Level 4: Jaer, Kelly, Lucian, Tagg, and Tensek
Level 5: Codrian and Sensandela
Level 6: Aramil, Donnavin, Fern, Kai, Kal-Zakkath, Tahlin, and Tynk
Level 7: Brodda, Cassius, and Thosar
Level 8: Aric, Daron, and Ran
Level 9: Aria, Mirielle, and Natala
Level 10: Darkar, Kywyn, and NaShae
Level 11: Gamis and Hermy
FYI: I noticed this when Tyros asked about the Census yesterday or the day before. I didn't mention it because I didn't want to hurt Athear'Miirik's feelings.
2nd Edit: Or it might've been the fact you dated the last update to it as the 22nd of Jan when it is still the 21st (by PST anyway)... But that is so trival and is probably a time zone thing.
3rd Edit: Other oversights:
1. Angelique, Joseph (and who knows how many others) in the link list of the Information and Rules Thread (not the character information thread) are both miss posted for level (this is the alphabetized one).
2. Ghost Theory isn't on the list of sanctioned NPCs
3. The GsC Form page I made wasn't added. (Okay, I made that one up.
4. You spelled Miscellaneous wrong in the subject.
If you couldn't tell... I am really bored and am trying to occupy my time...
God Bless O.C.D.

Edit 4: New Angel Smirk gremlin!
Edit 5: Unless it was added today, it said that all GsC times use PST, A.K.A. "Boards' Time"

(The short list is the level listings below the census in case no one knows what I am talking about.... ;) )
You started listing clerics by their aspects of Thalos I see, but Natala is still listed the previous way. Although you do have Thosar as a pilgrim.
Like Mr. Kell said his level has been updated in Character Information thread but not in the census, however it is updated in the short list.
Along with Angelique missing her level up information in the Character Information thread, the census, and short list.
Sensan the sensational is level 5 in the Character Information Thread and 4 in the census but on the level 5 short list.
Tensek is level 4 in the Character Information thread and the short list but not on the census.
In the cenus Kywyn is listed as a level 9*. Here I am guessing that we will not be explaining his PrC of the Avowed even though in the character information thread and short list he is listed as a "10" (bad joke ;) )
Beyond that I can not see anything else at the moment.
Hopefully I did not make a mistake typing this. *crosses fingers* :P
No, I am not a nitpicker, that would be nattamomma the hidden character profile. ;)
I noticed an inconsistancy. The Info/Rules thread says it is Spring, but Maelut's adventure has them walking in snow... unless GsC's world just came out of winter and it hasn't all melted that is...
Spring was a long toime ago.
2. The Season: Spring. (Due to the way the board operates, months will not be listed.)
That was updated on the 17th of January... of 2003!

But going to sleep before a test is more important than homework. the points you lose from having a tired brain on a test is usually more harmful to your grade than homework. If you go to sleep now, perhaps you can wake up early enough to do your homework tomorrow morning.
But I think I will listen to you tonight. :D
I'm impressed with Yahoo Page Builder then. I ought to use that more often, maybe.

That I don't know. I think he uses something like Photoshop and modifies some of the basic boardsmilies. But you're better off asking him.
The larged pixel by pixel I've done was 128x128... and I only did that after importing a hand print from another program (I was making a Decal for my Javelin02 Shadow Cat).
Edit: I think I can make a C++ program to read in the email output of a submission to the GsC_Form.html... Here is a snipe from a default submission:
boardhandle = Enter Board Handle here
email = Enter email here
Character Name = Enter name here
quote = Enter a short quote that your character might say
description = Things that can be learned by instant visual observation.
Example: Clothing, hair style...
history = Good examples: a lesson with a mentor or defining encounter.
motivation = Does your character adventure for reputation, monetary
gain, kindness...
See how everything starts with "... = " Well I can set up C++ to fill fields with the stuff after that, and then to save it to a .txt with all the board coding... I can so make this Newbie Proof.

I don't really know...Too bad I don't have the software to make Angelht.txt animated... Note, Angelht.txt is appropriate to be paired with either of the new Devil King ones.

Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
It's in Latin, Tyros.
I love Latin, although I don't understand most of what is spoken in that same language. The few words i can make out of a phrase like that is something about latin, saying or to say, maybe high... I may be very wrong... but I would like to know how to speak this beautiful language... that and elvish. Does anyone know an elvish teaching site? one related to Lotr, if possible. I've searched a lot for it, but could never find it.
:D
The phrase I posted reads: "Anything said in Latin sounds profound."
I'm looking forward to interacting with you in the game.
;) :DI'll be looking into that page, and probably speaking Sindarin in a few days... or not :D

Where the hell did that came from? Anyway, just letting you know:
NO SCHOOL TODAY!!!! I love being Portuguese because of all the public-workers strikes... The government doesn't pay them well enough...
But I get no classes today! :D You'll have to hear Shanks... I mean Tyros, all day long. :D

Have a good day, Tyros :D
Hya Jules! :bounce: :D
I sure will. ;)
I am already in the game!!!! :bounce: I have a description and all. :D Entered the city I have :D
I'm going skiing and I'll see you on Monday :d
See you on Monday then. :D
Tyros are you active ???
Why do you ask?
No money
Nevermind me... I'm just :DWhat do you mean, no money? Hunters don't gain money?

You've had all week to ask this, and only get around to it NOW?!
I thought that being a hunter, Tyros would be able to sell the game he had hunted to an Inn or something like that. That's why I didn't ask... oh well... guess Tyros will have to live on it's own hunting, like he has done in his entire life.
However, Tyros isn't just a skilled hunter, he's a professional hunter. He knows where to find the people who will pay him good money for his efforts, and he knows how to get full value for his efforts. For every week he spends working at his profession, hunting it, dressing it, negotiating with his regular customer base (making a full day of it), he earns the equivalent of taking 10 on a 20-sided die (in other words, assume that the roll was a 10, and then add your modifiers for the skill).
With 4 ranks in Profession (hunter) and a +1 bonus for a 12 Wisdom, this comes to 15 for the check, and Thosar earns half of that, or 7 gold and 5 silver, a week.
If he doesn't work the entire week, he earns a fifth of that per day he does work, or 15 silver pieces a day. Just remember that you'll be assumed to spend the entire day working on the job. You can assume that you come back to the city in the evening to wind down and get some rest, so there will be some time for interacting with others at an inn or in the market after the long day.
Does that help?
Thanks a lot ST. :D I know and understand that this wasn't the best time to talk about, that I should've made some questions sooner than today. I am sorry for that.
I do have some questions about that profession. If I work for a full week, i gain 7 gp and 5 sp, right? But if I skip a days job I only earn 15 silver for every day I work in that week, am I right? Good enough. I know I should probably make it up, I already have a vague idea of how to do it, but I want to make sure, where am I supposed to find the one's that will buy my products? in the marketplace, probably. I only get to hunt, right? I do not get to take off the animals fur and turn it into a coat, right? Or do I? Should I roleplay my day's work or just say that I've returned after a long day's work and so on? And if I go up a level, and add, lets say, 4 more points to the hunter skill, do I get like a raise on my weekly pay? And BTW, when I go up a level, do I get 28 skill points, like in the first level?
Just some doubts, I would like to see cleared. Don't know if there are anymore. But I think that about wraps it. Again I'm sorry for inconvenience.

As much as I love being on the mind of the DM (
), I believe you meant Tyros. ;)Though I would be happy to earn money for someone else's labors. Sorry Tyros, the DM has spoken. :D
And i can change what the DM said:

It's not Thosar but Tyros. :D

My apologies again, as that cookie jar just happens to be a +1 cookie jar of Jedi gesture cancellation. I'm afraid the money still comes to me.
As to your questions:
And if I go up a level, and add, lets say, 4 more points to the hunter skill, do I get like a raise on my weekly pay?
That is correct. The skill check is affected by your ranks, so if you improve your skill, you will improve your pay.
And BTW, when I go up a level, do I get 28 skill points, like in the first level?
Unfortunately the "times four" skill points only apply at first level. Each level after that you only receive a number of skill points based off your class and your Intillegence modifier (without the times four). Both a fighter and a wizard get 2 + Intelligence modifier skill points per level.
Hope that helps.
jar... me and my big stomach. Well, it surely helps. :D But I'm a wittle wanger and I wod wike to know if I should or shouldn't roleplay the hunts I make. do you happen to know anything about that, Thosar? Thanks for the help anyway. Here's a

easy on the questions.. pick out some drone, and plug away at them on IM ;)
This is the drawback of craft and profession skills in a game where most of your experience is calculated (or estimated) from your roleplaying and interaction with other PCs. They use up so much of your time.
While Performing uses up only 8 hours. Plus you can Aid Another with perform checks (unlike profession and craft checks) to get a +2 bonus (sometimes spliting the next pay range up is better than just your current bracket). But choosing your song can gain you extra experience.
Tyros, ignorance of rules (especially those in the core rules) isn't an excuse. The payment tables in the Information and Rules Thread (it was stickied for a reason) were derived from the tables in the Player's Handbook (both 3.0 and 3.5) and the SRD skill tables. The only difference is they take an average roll.
Look over there... a shiny new topic! If Joseph used Charm Person.. ahhh crud... nevermind CP affects just one person... but for the sake of argument, if Joseph used Mass Charm Person on an audience, would that apply a bonus to his perform checks because they are all friendly? What about Enthrall?
Doh... Enthrall or Detect Thoughts... do I really want to read the minds of people like Tyros? .oO(Cookie, cookie, cookie...)
Oh and if Tyros lures Dragons to the city... is it an evil act to knock him out and hand him over to the Dragons to calm their wrath? I am sacrificing an individual to save a populace (evil), but he was the one that caused the problem (intentionally since he went after big dragons and then purposefully lead them to the town). I guess it all depends on if Joseph gets to Tyros first... (I am sure some of the other locals will wring his neck before Joseph is within twenty paces of transgressor).

Of course, the most likely scenario for me trying to do that would be to be completely chewed up and spit up by said dragons. :P not very pleasant, I asure you (happened once and the dragon hadn't brushed his teeth :D ). And I would never lure 20 or so dragons into the city.. not today, at least, to tired... ehehehBut if Joseph were to lead dragons to the city... he would just... *mumbles off to keep his secret plan to wipe out the NPC women that hurt Joseph's feelings*

In the marketplace or the inns, most likely, as you've mentioned. It's also possible you could sell meat directly to some of the PC-run businesses (though Donnavin normally takes care of the SSAG's needs for meat), to a noble family (if that's your character's style) or the like.
I only get to hunt, right? I do not get to take off the animals fur and turn it into a coat, right? Or do I?
You might be able to sell the furs, or make a coat for sale, but the amount you would make for that would be considered part of the money you make from your profession check for the week. You could certainly make a coat for your own use, though one of masterwork quality would probably be best left to the professionals. ;)
Should I roleplay my day's work or just say that I've returned after a long day's work and so on?
If you have some other posting you want to do, the latter; it might make for nice flavor to give some hint at what you've been up to (carrying your take for the day, for example, or showing signs of exertion; perhaps complaining about the weather or the one that got away), but everyone's posting time is limited, so you don't have to post your workday every single day.
It's a good idea to do so once in a while, however. Try to do it in a way that makes for interesting reading, and that gives us insight into your character, however; a simple recounting of a hunt is far more interesting if we get to see how Tyros responds to success or failure (or the threat thereof). Is he meticulous about his tools, or sloppy? Does he work by setting traps and making the rounds, or hunting each animal down by hand? By winning the trust of the animals, or by remaining hidden? There are plenty of opportunities for characterization in describing your character's workday; make use of them. (Kywyn's occasional scenes of his character drawing for the public are good examples of this, though not the only ones; look around and see how it's done, as each player has a distinctive style for doing this kind of thing.)
And if I go up a level, and add, lets say, 4 more points to the hunter skill, do I get like a raise on my weekly pay? And BTW, when I go up a level, do I get 28 skill points, like in the first level?
As a ranger, you will get 7 skill points at each level beyond first level. And you will only be able to add one point to Profession (hunter) at each level; you can never have more points in a skill than your level + 3. So at second level, you may add a point to Profession (hunter) and have a total of 5 ranks in that skill (for a modifier of +6).
Sounds like you've been having fun, and that's what the game is about, too, after all. As long as no one in the group is getting impatient and everyone's enjoying things, I'm happy.Another boring as heck day behind (and 48 liters of fortifying c-energy cream with cloudberry seed oil prepared to be shipped to U.S.).

Sorry for not postign I've had a busy week
Read the first post of the Character Information thread, where you just posted. You've just commited numerous rules infractions, one of which is printed in red in the first line of the first post of that thread: Do not post to that thread. Only the DMs are permitted to do so.
Until you have received official approval to play in this game from the DMs, you may not post in any threads but this one. To receive such approval, you will have to submit your character by email to the DMs. [I am not posting their emails addresses here intentionally. When you read the rules, you will find their email addresses there. If you haven't read the rules, you will only waste their time by emailing them.]
Your character will have to be made in accordance with the rules of the game. At a glance, I see that you have not followed the rules for point-buy, and that you have not followed the rules for allowable races. I have not inspected your character sheet further, or I might have further comments.
Read the rules first, then you can try to join the game. We're a friendly community, and you can ask all the questions you want on this thread, but no one here takes kindly to people running roughshod on the rules of the game.
Either I or any of a number of other players would be glad to help you construct a character in accordance with the rules, one whose background and personality will also be appropriate to this game; but you have to ask. This is the place to do it. It's better to read the rules before you ask, though: they explain much. You can then ask questions about anything in the rules you don't understand.
Edit: Friendly? To some maybe.. but to those that ignore painfully obvious stickied threads that say, "Read this first!"

....Or maybe just a knife in the back, but that probably wouldnt be a good move, Kai needs all the support he can get. It seems like the whole city is against meOn the matter of Craft/Profession vs. Perform checks, on the other hand, aid another does work, though it does divide the funds up, just as it does for Perform checks. Then again, at certain points, that becomes profitable, just as it does for Perform checks.
But let's review the numbers here:
Craft (assuming 4 ranks and a 12 Int) = +5 at 1st level, for a result of 15 sp a day ([10+5]/2 = 7.5 a week)
Perform (assuming 4 ranks and a 16 Cha) = +8 at 1st level, for a result of 5 sp a day.
Hmm... higher modifier for the performer, but he comes in behind. Let's scale up a bit here:
Craft (4 ranks, 14 Int, and Skill Focus) = +9 at 1st level, for a result of 19 sp a day.
Perform (4 ranks, 16 Cha, Skill Focus, and Entertainer) = +12 at 1st level, for a result of 16 sp a day.
Surely there's a turn-around point here somewhere? Well, let's be fair and max out the craftsman as well, shall we?
Craft (4 ranks, 18 Int, Skill Focus, masterwork tools) = +13 at 1st level, for a result of 23 sp a day.
Perform (4 ranks, 18 Cha, Skill Focus, Entertainer, masterwork instrument) = +25 at 1st level, for a result of 3 gp a day.
And there we have it. If you dedicate your performer entirely to the art of noise, you can make a nice fortune in no time. Either way, you do have to spend the better part of your game day at the work in question. (You can assume free time before or after your daily work of course.)
The performer tops out pretty quickly at 10 gp a day, however, while the craftsman who maxes out everything is only looking at earning 22 gp a week by 20th level. On the other hand, the craftsman of that calibre can outpace the bard by virtue of commissioned work. The professionals have it rougher, it's true, but the idea is to allow people to be able to earn some sort of a living at these occupations, not to make them rich. ;)

The swashbuckler is NOT a prestige class. It is a regular class listed in The Complete Warrior. Yes, I know a Good Tiefling
seems odd, but his father was a paladin, and his great-grandfather is a Lawful Neutral Incubus. I'll remedy my mistake, probably make him an elf or something.But they can be trained for battle!
ENTER THE WAR MULE!
Blind Mules make great companions... they are too scared to move while not being guided... sure they can't run (x3 or x4 movement), but they can charge! Because War Mules are shorter than Horses, some dwarves prefer them... and their constant blindness makes it easier to guide them through the dark tunnels that most dwarves love.
(and no I didn't make up the War Mule... last summer during a D&D Tournament, I played a Dwarf that rode a War Mule... pre-made characters)
Savin:
1. You ignored the "Please read this first" stickied thread (unexcusable)
2. You ignored the "Visitors welcome" title of the Noise Thread.
3. You didn't read the rules.
4. You used a book prohibited by the rules. (Read the rules to know why)
5. You made a
-poor character sheet that would get you shot in my other D&D circle.6. You put gremlins in the sheet.
7. You were too blind to notice that all the posts in that thread were ShatteredTower's (ST).
8. You didn't even try to immitate ST's format for character sheets.
Why would you want to play with us now? Sure GsC is the best game on the wizard boards (I am not trying to suck up... I've seen the Real d20 Adventure boards... it is chaotic and the handful of newbies there just flood it with spam pre-games), but you've made a bad impression on some of us. It is apparent you are new to D&D, so I recommend you learn the rules well before joining GsC because it isn't the same style.
2nd Edit: Who would've thought the 4 letter word for urine was censored...
You should e-mail the DMs for approval of your character.I'm gonna train Hunter to hunt. :D (Hunter is my mule, if you didn't guess it yet).

It depends on your definition of Newbie.
Mine is a person that doesn't observe ones environment and demonstrates his or her ignorance because of it. I've always checked stickied threads on boards, but maybe that is because I figured there was a reason why the "read this:" of stickied threads might mean it is important.
But when it came to D&D 3ed, I was never a newbie... After playing 2nd edition for a few years (I started playing D&D when I was 10. It got me reading, and I guess you could say it come me into college) 3rd edition was a piece of cake.

But don't be frightened of the WoTers, they have lost their spirit because the WoT board is going to disappear in February.
On another note: Than you to all in Dak's adventure for being so patient with my...well... not posting. Between the flu, work... and a friend's unfortunate mishap, which I am trying to help her through, I've not had the time or energy to do much but read.
Things should be clearing up soon. I'm feeling much better, and though I'm at my friend's house with her now, I was able to get a post in. Hopefully, I should be back to normal soon.
Thanks again.

Ah well, as I posted earlier this week, I'm trying to get back into GsC, again. Thanks to the patience of the DMs for allowing me to bounce in and out of GsC over the year, as school has demanded.;)
The question is, where to start (again)? You'd think that because I've done this several times, I'd be an old hand at this, but nope, each time it's as daunting as the first.
Since 06/21/03 you have 372 it would seem...
Though a visit to the SSAG is also in order. You've some loot to pick up there, and theres a certain halfling looking for people good at moving around quietly in the wilderness.

Hey! Is that an anvil I see flying over head?
Yes, adventure's run on their own time.
We've had advantues that took two days game time, that took over a month real time.
And the oppisite has happened as well.

I'm gonna pass out now if you all don't mind...
P.S. Is Backer supposed to be Baker? Or is that a taboo subject?
A month? I think that Mystic's goblin thing took even longer.
:no comment:
Of course, it may be that Tyros has never learned to do this properly, what with being an orphan and all.
I can understand how you overlooked point, because you aren't the first player to make this mistake. Keep in mind that a few elves do refer to it as sleep for the sake of convenience, in the same way that some people with doctorates don't use the title rather than have to explain that they don't have medical training.
Has anyone else here read the short D&D novel, "The Living Dead"? It was the one with Davis (half-elf bard), Mialee (Elf Wizard), a peg-legged halfling, and an extremely old elf cleric. Very funny... Mialee can't hold her alcohol... (like a few sips of it makes her tispy)

It's a play on the nursery rhyme, "The Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker," placing each of the three PCs who were involved by the time the thread started in their respective roles.
And most adventures that take a long time IRL aren't a result of OoC delays, but simply of the speed at which things can run when the various people in the adventure are not online at the same time and things need to be discussed IC. This is particularly true for the more complicated adventures; simple hunt-the-goblin adventures and the like can be handled more quickly, but adventures that run so many pages we have to start a new thread for them are obviously going to take a bit longer to play out.
Which brings me to a question I've been asked: Kai, sorry not to have answered this sooner, but no, I'm not going to play Lucian to move things along before his return. For one thing, he'll be back tomorrow; and more importantly, at the moment I'm waiting for all of you to decide just what you'll be doing next. That's not a decision I want to make for you, and that's the only thing that could be achieved by my NPCing Lucian right now. The conversation you're currently engaged in can easily take place around him without my interference.
(Why, yes. Yes, I did major in English, doing my undergraduate thesis on the common ground shared by folk tales/folk music and modern poetry. How did you guess?
)You'll have noticed, I'm sure, that adventure titles are for OoC use, not IC; and what else would you like to see, say, a wizard called IC? Yes, "book-mage" has its place, but so does "wizard," and the same is true for "ranger."
*Not that the "g" and "k" issue is actually relevant, given that "ng" in English generally represents a different sound altogether, a nasal. Of course, in "ranger," it's two separate sounds, the second sound being the hard sound usually represented by "j"...
Sure, few people would call a Fighter a fighter, they would use words such as mercenary, soldier, ex-soldier, warrior, infantryman, knight, swordarm, whatever, maybe even fighter occasionally. But Bard, for example, would often be called a bard, since that is what he is. Few other names work as well, and most of them are not as common. And certainly "mage", "wizard" and "sorcerer" would be synonymous for most people in a normal DnD world, but "Wizard" would often be used to mean "Wizard". And using "Barbarian" to describe an illiterate berserker is hardly metagaming.
Thanks Shorn and Angelique for the replies. Seems im only at 703 posts since I started. I really thought I had more. Must have been my extended leaves of absence since joining the military. *sigh*
And Joseph: read up on the definition of "slant rhyme" sometime. ;)
From dictionary.com
off rhyme n.
A partial or imperfect rhyme, often using assonance or consonance only, as in dry and died or grown and moon. Also called half rhyme, near rhyme, oblique rhyme, slant rhyme.
... Okay... I guess I prefer "On rhyme."

Mmmm.... Don't get me started on that guy. It was like a stab in the back. I read Wizards First Rule so many times that the book started to come apart, and I read Stone of Sorrow about half as many, then I read Blood of the Fold once or twice, and then there was Temple of the Winds. I could hunt that man down and beat him senseless for everytime I read one of his books. Whats he up to now? 7, WFR-SOS-BotF-TotW-Pillars of Creation-Blabity Blabity Blah- Something-or-another-too-long-Yet Another Richard Rahl Book...
Not that I bear a long standing grudge against him. Yes I do.
I personally got rather hooked on the David Gemmel series. The Drenai, Stones of Power, and Waylander series. I read a blurb that said it the best. "...His heroes are larger than life yet painfully human at the same time."
After what you guys are saying about the book, makes me not want to read the rest of them. I just finished the 1st one and ordered 3 more. *sigh* Im also looking for other good fantasy novels to read, if any of you guys have any in mind would you mind telling me of some via email? I enjoy books that continue and allow the characters to develop the most, like the Wheel of Time...recently ive been trying to find a series on a stealthy type character (like Kai) or an assasin. (just somehting different from the rest) I have also just finished a book by Raymond Feist called the Shadow of a Dark Queen. (Very good as well too bad I didnt know there were more before it Joe- When you call Fred a traitor are you refering to Kai/Fred??
Wizard's First Rule is excellent from a standalone point of view. As a series, it is less good.
Wheel of Time is also slow, and nothing has happened in the last three books it seems like. I dunno, I want the White Tower to fall, finally and Tarmon'Gaidon to get started. And Mazrim to, well, die.
Feist is a great author. I love his works. I am working on a campaign setting set in that world, and I might have it ready by easter, if you want to play on the Real d20 board. Shadow of a Dark Queen is one of his better works, it really is. The next two are very good too. Start at the beginning as soon as you can, read Magician, then go on to the rest of the Riftwar Saga. Then read the Empire series, then the Legends of the Riftwar series, then the Krondor series and then re-read the Serpentwar Saga (Starting with Shadow of a Dark Queen) and go on to the Conclave series.
He has written a lot, but he isn't writing fast enough for me. I just finished his latest, and I need more...
Oh yea I just got done reading the Rise of merchant Price as well.
Congrats to Donovin Snowolf!:D

The Prince of Ill Luck by Ms. Dexter was a good story, in my opinion, and fairly straightforward. However, I preferred Ms. MacAvoy's material, even if I did find the writing quality a bit less consistent in places. See if you can't find Tea with the Black Dragon, Damiano (and the sequels, Damiano's Lute and Raphael), and The Book of Kells. They aren't action books, but they do contain good stories and interesting conflict at times.
Another book you might want to search for is Silverlock (the author's last name is Myers-Myers, who also wrote The Moon's Fire Eating Daughter). I will warn you that this book is a bigger treat for those of you who have studied myth and legend, because the author tends to fit in a lot of mythical figures and references and doesn't always make it clear who they are unless you know a thing or two. It is readable without that knowledge, but this is a book you'll enjoy more if you like searching for more information afterward (a goal it shares with Isaac Asimov's anthology Where Do We Go from Here? -- a science fiction collection I recommend for stories like Asimov's "Pate de Foie Gras," Robert Heinlein's "And He Built a Crooked House," and Lester del Rey's "The Day is Done").
Finally, I suggest looking up Peter David's Sir Apropos of Nothing. I quite like Mr. David: Knight Life still makes me laugh, and he tried very hard to make comic series such as "The Hulk" and "Aquaman" into epic stories. I don't enjoy Star Trek enough to comment on his work there, but he certainly had a lot of fun with Babylon 5 (and I liked his novelization of one of the movies). But I digress. (Now where have I heard that before? :P) However, I don't think he ever quite hit his stride until he wrote Sir Apropos of Nothing.
Of course, if you need a less biased review of that last novel, I would wait for Natala to weigh in with her opinion on it. I still view it as one of my favourite books.

And with the delivery of these words, the Battle of the Bards was only a matter of time...
Sensandela:
"I, Sensandela the Sensational, can not allow such foul remarks to pass unpunished! Prepare for battle!" Angeliqué: "Bring it on!" .oO(Wait a minute! This isn't my dialogue... who's been messing with the script?)
Sensandela: "Please don't hurt me..."
Angeliqué: "I don't think I can, actually."
Sensandela: "Really?" .oO(Ho ho! I win again! :D)
Angeliqué: "Yes. It goes against my pacifist principles."
Joseph: "No! What are you two doing? Do you know how long it took me to get the mud pit to just the right consistency? At least let's see some hair pulling!"
Angeliqué: "...Of course, I could make an exception."
Sensandela: "Oh, yeah..."
Elf and half-orc advance upon panicked human. Fade to black, leaving only the sound of mayhem and screaming.
Maelut: "Does this mean the pay-per-view's been cancelled?"
Tensek: "Shh! They'll hear-- oh, no..."
Actually, a bardic duel is a good idea...too many of those crazy singing madmen (and madwomen) running around. A gladiatorial constest would weed out the weaklings.
Maelut, you realize Angeliqué would die.
Wouldn't a Battle of the Bards be better with a "perform off" ?

A review of Sir Apropos of Nothing? It'll be brief, since I'm a bit woozy from pain medication again, but I think I can manage that.
I'd feel pretty safe recommending it to anyone who frequents this board, though I can't say I'd give it to anyone not familiar with popular fantasy conventions; it does depend on a knowledge of those for much of its comic effect.
Hm... okay, there should be more that I could say, but like I say, I'm woozy, so it's all coming out as, "Um, yeah. I liked it." :embarrass

I can tell my and my husband's efforts at cooking ahead and freezing food are paying off, even though our new cube freezer is still far from full. How? At 5:00, we went through the all-too-frequent "I'm hungry. — What do you want? — What do we have?" discussion... only to realize that instead of it being nothing we could have prepared before my blood sugar plummeted, or at best something we could sort of scrape together, we had six very tasty choices (and would have had even more options, had our large stock pot not been in use boiling a chicken for the soup we've frozen this evening).
Ah, sweet success — surprisingly, it tastes like homemade spinach-feta-and-onion pizza.

Likewise, Neil Gaiman needs no introduction.
Stephen R. Donaldson, however, should never be recommended without a very, very strong warning. Many people here will not like his protagonists in the least (in fact, they're more likely to be loathed), or how characters (especially the women) are treated. I don't dislike his characters. I simply found that they were too dull to be sympathetic. Put simply, Thomas Covenant was the Judy Garland version of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, but with fewer redeeming qualities. (At least Dorothy could be bothered, even if she was being used by Glinda. "Good witch"? Ha!)
I read the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy (which consisted of 4 books), nasty wordses, we hates them.

The Well at the World's End and The Wood Beyond the World by William Morris, anything and everything by Lord Dunsany, (and those two are obscure enough that I would probably be safe in promising my hand in marriage to the man who's also read & enjoyed them, :p ) Nouvelles Orientales by Marguerite Yourcenar, Les Contes du Chat Perche by Marcel Ayme, The First World War and War By Timetable by AJP Taylor, Deathstar Voyage and The Sign of the Mute Medusa by Ian Wallace, the Collected Fairy Tales of Andrew Lang (these are also known as the 'colored fairy books,' because they are titled 'The Blue Fairy Book,' pink, red, brown, purple, lilac, olive, green, etc.)... hm, this list is long enough now ^_^

I read those as well.
I found them very slow, yet there were several scenes which were quite prominant, and it's an excellent read if you don't mind long descriptions and dragging character development.
Personally, I like simple characters with schticks and fast-paced dramatic storylines full of action and adventure, though with subtle twists or perversions on familiar tales.
Some I'd recommend include the two Sparhawk trilogies by David Eddings, the Felix & Gotrek series by William King (using the Games Workshop Warhammer World setting), and the Gaunt's Ghosts series (Set in the Warhammer 40K Universe, also by Games Workshop).
I also like Terry Pratchett's Discword series, but that's because they can be read and enjoyed on so many levels. Many of the jokes work outside of the story - on a metagaming level rairly seen in stories.
Edit: WE HAVE SNOW!
Okay, it's not that big a deal, but in the Southeast of the UK, we only really get snow maybe once a year that is thick enough to actually settle.

I didn't mention The Princess Bride because it's not so obscure as the others -- at least, it's no longer as obscure as the others.
Stephen R. Donaldson, however, should never be recommended without a very, very strong warning.
True words on both accounts. I didn't realize this was about more obscure books though, since people like Jordan and Feist were mentioned. In this genre, you don't get much less obscure than the first one.
I fear my geographical situation is a bit of an impediment if we are to try and shine a little light on books that are not well-known enough - if it's obscure enough across the Atlantic, it certainly won't be translated in Dutch (a language spoken by a mere 25 million people doesn't warrant the cost of translating a book that isn't somewhat garanteed decent sales) and chances are I won't find it in English either (although the American Book Center is quite helpful in that regard). If it's obscure here, the situation is merely reversed (there's a series by Dutch writer W.J. Maryson, for instance, which I believe never got translated to English). The Erikson books I mentioned earlier are somewhat hard to find in the USA, I hear, although they should be available in Canada.
I absolutely agree with the Donalson assessment - it's not light reading. The story is grim and harsh and if the protagonist has any redeeming qualities, they hardly make him likeable. Still I thought the books were good.

Welcome, Donsehan. Yours is the last character application I will be reviewing before closing the game to new admissions for at least the next few months. Please keep in mind that even if I ask for a rewrite or a reworking the process, you are permitted to resubmit the character.
(And that's only if we think changes are needed.)

Anyway, I'm off. I may be off for the evening as well, as last night was a very long one. The review of the new character application will be done sometime overnight. So far, I think the introduction here was a good sign.
Welcome, Donsehan.
I'm off as well for today, tomorrow everyone risking himself or herself on the mean streets of GsC is likely to run into a certain jogging elf again. 'night folks.

Don't feel bad... I know Weyman's favorite race and I was still blinded-sided by this... It is the Race - Class Combo that can really drive a DM crazy... (the last successful game I ran had such a PC that tried to pillage a town house...)
Another fresh player!! :D Hi! I'm Tyros :D
If you become a hunter, maybe we'll find ourselves in the woods sometimes... and I promise I won't backstab you..
And here's a big YELLOW for everyone! :D
Don't mind Tensek, he always manages to "teh" instead of "the"ing. :P

Thanks, Donn
You guys all know my aim, and I'm on like 24/7, so just IM me if you have any q's. I wonder how long it will take you guys to figure out my screenname.
I can hope.

Boards seem a litte slow today, but that won't stop me from making my return.
I haven't been able to post in ages.
I keep getting a page not found error.

That's typical for databases (which is what the boards are based on) - they need a bit of warm-up after a reset (get those indexes initialized again). It'll get better in one or two days.
*wonders what type of database the boards work on
But it's ok, I can post now so I am happy.
*kicks the boards for good measure
So far I have made gremlins for:
Sensandela
Angelique
Joseph (having trouble making his hat though...)
And am working on:
Tagg
Maelut
Ulerian
FYI: If I am working on a gremlin of your PC, and I can't locate specific information (like hair, eye, or skin color) I will improvise... so far Tagg has pink eyes.

What is this "gremlin comic" you speak of?
Making sprites of others' characters is one thing, but if you're planning a web comic or anything of the sort, you really need to ask people's permission before you start using their characters. You'd also have to ask permission of shanks (Tom Gammon), the originator of this game, for use of the setting.
no this is more of a "Graphical representation of ST's latest OoC theatre"
I had to change one role (Tensek to Tagg... when you only have a few pixels... making drastically different faces is hard.)
It uses nothing specific to Garic's City.
But I will wait to get approval of the final picture before posting it. I need for ST Angelique, Sensandela, Maelut, Tagg, and Ulerian to okay it. (It either makes Tagg and Maelut look wimpy... or what happened to Joseph off screen realllllyyyyy terrible.)
Edit: Paint's jpeg converter really hit this file with an ugly stick...
I feel left out. Just like in english today, talking to a bunch of girls who are bad at math...
I guess Boirin's just not special enough...

My Bad... Boirin should be there too.
Give me a description and I will add him in... Pick hair style, hair color, skin tone, eye color (it doesn't have to match your actual PC... Joseph has light yellow, Ulerian is a blue, Maelut is a dark blue, and Tagg is grey).
I just thought I'd take a second to thank all you guys. The game really is great (admittedly, I had one of those nights where you are forced to start recognizing things you take for granted.) and you're all a blast to play with. I just don't want it to slip past anyone how much fun I have with y'all.
I'm not teary eyed! The sunglasses are perscription I swear...

And by the way, I should get bonus xp for wearing the orange sweater.

well... here it is:
There were somemany extra things I wanted to do... (like Tyros making a comment of, "Well, your worst time with two women is pretty much better than any other time!" while Joseph was being summarily beaten...)
Edit: Wow, it fits without stretching the screen...
I already have an idea for the next one... Hey Sensa, did you know Orlando Bloom is going to be in a new Helan of Troy movie? He will be wearing a skimpy leather skirt next to Prad Bitt (I think).

I need to read the Illiad more before I see that movie. But I know Bloom's playing Paris and Pitt's doing Achilles, so it may be more like there'll be hair-pulling and stabbing between the two. ;)

Well since I am a self-serving person... it is going to again follow Joseph... this time he has bandages on his hands ("The cleric's said he should regain sensation in them by next week").
But here is one piece of diologue
Julia: Hey, what's going... JOSEPH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT ELF?! (FYI: Joseph is choking Tyros)
Julia turns to Tycho and says: Why aren't you helping him?
Tycho: Joseph seems to have him well in hand.
Julia: No I meant, 'Why aren't you helping the elf?'
Tycho: Tyros mentioned cursing his mandolin.
(next frame)
Joseph: If I squeeze a little harder, I might feel it.
Tyros (in thought): Perhaps if I pretend to be dead, he will let go and go off in searching of live food.
Well that is all the preview there is for episode two...

[Edit] Ofcourse dont drain yourself to thin on our account
I work on the 3rd floor (2nd floor to Europeans,) and by the time I got up the stairs I was coughing uncontrollably and barely able to punch in my security code to get out of the stairwell.
Evidently the fumes didn't affect my coworkers (the ones already here, at least,) that badly. This is good, of course. For me, though, I'm still dizzy 45 min later.
When I left the house yesterday at four pm, AOL was working fine with IE, Netscape, and MYIE2. My siblings used the computer while I was away. When I got home, I found I CAN'T get on AIM or onto my account at collegeboard.com. The only browser I can use is now AOL.
I can't figure out for the life of me what my siblings may have done or not, and I can't figure out how to fix it, and it's driving me nuts because I kind of need the PROFILE on collegeboard.com by, um, today? I'm actually kind of surprised I was able to log on here.
:headexplo
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? The computer downstairs is no help either as it's had this problem for several months.

So while i wait anxiously for the approval from the DMs, I figure it was time i try to see how well i interact (see if i need an attitude adjustment and what not) with the rest of you all on the boards... but i havent got a clue how to go about doing that.
oh, those gremlin theatre comics are great.

Lucian/Kai, even if Tensek and/or Sensandela haven't had a chance to post yet, I'll move things along for you tomorrow.

Don't know if I'll be around much today, with homework, it being my brothers birthday, and the Super Bowl, I don't know. But I'll try to pop in every now and then.
Question about cold weather in the quest thread:
If we go outside to go kobold hunting during the day, is it cold enough that we'll be subject to cold damage?
Sleeping for eleven hours did wonders, I'm feeling much better. Shorn, I just hope you don't do anything more strenuous than cleaning & housework -- I'll never forget helping my husband get a car engine from the basement to the car while in my final trimester. Come to think of it, what the *bleep* was he thinking of, asking me to do that?

Unless the club consists of only one person who is currently unaware of the nature of their gender you'll need to change it to [color=crimson]"The Very Evil and Bad Persons Club".
The others, well they are just bit misguided.

Oh, I'd better take cover before Kai really explodes.
If your implying that Kai has a big head than your wrong Buddy. Hes definantly aware of his limitations, hence why he joined the "Strikers" but even so, Kai wont be doing any fontal attacks anytime soon.Muahahah....

:PHuman Fighters versus Dwarf Fighters.
For "Sword and Board" (shield and one-handed weapon) favors the Dwarven Fighter because he or she can take Dwarven War Axe as a Martial Proficiency, and gains so much from the Dwarven Traits (no longer reduced speed, +4 Stability bonus, Darkvision, +2 Con).
Human Fighters just shouldn't go Bastard Sword in 3.5 (there is a reason the Standard Human Fighter Starting Package was finally changed...). In 3.5, Human Fighters should go Two-Weapon Fighting with a Greatsword (especially at low levels, being able to end a fight quickly is worth a lot more than an extra +2 AC). The Human Greatsworder just shouldn't try to be a light armorer (D&D favors the Tank... which is why the Warrior of Sorcery is so powerful, but that has a thread and web site of its own somewhere else). The Human Greatsworder is something between the Feat Heavy Warrior and the Berserker. The Greatsworder will have Heavy Armor on the Barbarian (assuming you can afford the ungodly cost...).
There are many things you can do with either Race... For example...
Dwarven Axemaster: Carry a pair of Throwing Axes, Waraxe, Greataxe, and Heavy Wooden Shield... switch between them for different situations... Sort of a pseudo-holy man... some priests carry wooden holy symbols... this one carries a variety of axes.
;) :D Anyhow, im still out at sea but Ill be hitting a port soon!! Ill make sure to let you all know where Im at when my ship releases us for Liberty Call:bounce:

In 3.5, Human Fighters should...
"...use the weapons as the player sees fit to develop his character," isn't that what you meant to say, Joseph? ;)
From the entry on GsC-Specific Feats, Spells, PrCs, and Weapons
Double Weapon, General (Donnavin Snowolf): Select one of the following weapons made for a creature of your size category: glaive, guisarme, halberd, spear, or ranseur. You may use that weapon as a double weapon.
Prerequisites: Proficiency with the selected weapon, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: You may use the selected weapon as a double weapon, causing normal damage with one end and bludgeoning damage for 1d6 hp (or 1d4 for a small wielder) for with the other, with a critical modifier of x2 for this secondary attack. The extra attack is treated as an attack from a light weapon in the off hand (add 1/2 your Strength bonus to damage), while the main attack is considered as a one-handed weapon (add the Strength bonus to damage, not 1.5 times the Strength bonus) when both ends are used in a given round.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take this feat, it applies to a new type of weapon. A fighter may select Double Weapon as a bonus fighter feat.

No I meant "From a Min/Maxing perspective: the changes to the Dwarf make him the superior Sword and Boarder."
It might be personal bias... but I like to call it "Grubian (there's that word again) Statitistics."
Humans get an extra feat at level 1, why waste it trying to play catch up?
According to the unwritten code of the Munchkin, "Anything can be roleplayed. Roleplaying is the silver bullet of RPG's."
Oh look, a shiny change of topic...
Why did they take the signature limit option out of the boards? There were some people that had obnoxious signatures (like the scripts to certain TV shows...) that I just didn't want to see...
Yeah ST I see what you mean.. They were replaced, and so unless one checked all the posts in the census the oddness of the question might lessen.. ???
U
Hello folks. I'll be here as soon as I get my dinner in order.
Quick opinion on dwarven fighters vs. human fighters: the speed difference is enough for me to prefer humans any day of the week when powerbuilding. Besides, humans get so many feats that if you want to invest in a bastard sword or dwarven waraxe, the cost is hardly prohibitive anyway. From a flavour POV however, you can't beat the articulate tin can dwarf with a tower shield and Combat Expertise daring giants to try and hit him.

I just thought of something we might want to consider for this feat: masterwork double weapons are +600 gp, so perhaps it should be stipulated that unless one of the Double Weapon-specified weapons has been specifically crafted to be a masterwork double weapon, the bludgeoning head doesn't benefit from the any enhancement bonuses?

Grubbian Physics is Physics where it works the way you want it to (one the original TSR D&D authors once said that he hopes that he feats the day that humanity finds out that physics is Grubbian).
Which is why Grubbian Statistics is redundant because it is possible to make any Statistics prove the point you want... well almost...

geez you try to razz the new guy to show acceptance and welcome him to the group and he raises defense shields. Wake me when your ready to fire, snubbing no longer bothers me.Edit: Off to the Dungeon/ECS Lab... blasted Unix...
I hate being sick and missing two days of school and then coming back to school for the first time in four days and to be greeted with a migrane less than half way through the day. I haven't been to german class or health in 5 days. I'm going to hate the homework build up.
I also disslike doing poetry analasis I always end up getting creative urges to write the stuff and getting distracted.
Ok I'm done venting my silly vent.

Hello everyone! I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and answer any questions you may have. My name is Renee, a cancer, and I reside in the mid-west of the USA. I've been gaming for 10 1/2 years now from 2e, 2.5e (options), 3e, and 3.5e. I've also done some shadowrun and other minor experiences with other realms. I had gamed online for 4 years but stopped just recently. I've been a WizO now for almost 4 years on that chat side of the Wizards.COMmunity and am actually looking forward to expanding to the Message Boards as well.
If you wish to reach me, the easiest way is to PM me on the message boards as it sends me an email. I'm a WAHM (Working At Home Mom) so I'll most likely be checking them periodically throughout the day. You can also email me at [email]shadow@wizardsmoderator-nospam-.com[/email]

Great! I knew it would catch on!

p.s.: I guess the Deluxe Devil King just doesn't look diabolical enough...
Edit: The stand in for GT3 is on the site. It is the same size as GT3 would've been.
See you around here or there :D
Nice to meet you, WizO_Shadow!
Almost two weeks off of my Notebook backload. Not bad. I'll do some IC posting later today and resume the Notebook update tonight. At this rate, I might catch up by the beginning of next week. Wheeeee!
For now, I'm off. A quick shower and it'll be time for school. Laters, everyone.
If you don't want me to, I might as well give you the Carebear gremlin I just made and find another topic for GT4 (like the one I had originally for GT3... it just keeps getting pushed back...)
-Jonathan
p.s.: Here is the new Carebear:
Donsehan:
WizO is a creature with various terrifying mystical powers that far greater than any of us mortals can achieve. They can lock, remove, prune or move threads at whim. (Okay, some them have weird weaknesses... like utter obsession with dice.)
In other words, WizOs are those who moderate WotC boards, but are not WotC employees (recognizable from WotC_[insert name] SN).
I hope I got it about right. ;)
Kai:
Check your old box. You only get 10 messages between the both of them.

Eventually I will get all the active GsC players that I know... I'm just doing them as they are used (I still have to go back GT 1 and 2 to get the first ones, but I have to update them cause they are mising like 20+ pixels... plus accessories).
Hmmm...
Brodda will have her pipe-flute
Angelique... a puppet?
Ulerian a weird staff...
Tagg... a Bow?
Maelut I want to do two knives, but that is a lot like Tensek then... Perhaps a tray of food?

For the same reason that Tensek is shown wielding two weapons, when he is an archery-based ranger? ;) Then again, that was the pose Kywyn displayed Tensek in, and it does make for a very nice pose, so it fits.
Tagg is the one with that remarkable knife shot, as though he was whipping off a shot at someone who thought they were sneaking up on him. ;)
That reminds me -- I've still got to check to see if I've got the modifiers for tracking correct for Tagg. All those rangers... all those synergies...
Happy Birthday to Cassius.
Welcome to WizO_Shadow. (And I will get "Nobody Knows the Troubles I've Seen" out of my head eventually.)
Welcome also to Donsehan. Try not to break anything. ;)
Belated welcome to Brand. If you're still feeling a bit lost, don't hesitate to ask people for help in this thread or by PM.
I will eventually post a step by step gremlin creation method (or perhaps a bunch of gremlin parts that people can take and stack). And if I am feeling extra generous, I might post an outdated batchall converter (but that is illegal, so I think I won't do that).

Is that grin evil or what?
Just send me an email at [email]aielmanspear@yahoo.com[/email] if you need to get me something (I don't like the PM thing, it is glitchy since I got a popup blocker).

Solomon Grundy, so named by hoboes who encountered this man without a name of who he was for the day on which they discovered him, a Sunday. ("Solomon Grundy, born on Sunday..." I will need to look the rhyme up again later.)
Curiously, he started as a Green Lantern villain (the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott), but seems to have branched out. There is something about fluctuating intellect and personality when coupled with immortality (or at least never staying dead for long) that just seems to keep one viable in villain circles, I guess.
I mean.. I just heard the Preminition kid say, "I think he was dead" and that added with the bad nightmares, ability to fight... and baggy eyes... (of course those things as evidence would mean I've been dead too... but that is impossible in real life)
Edit: Futurama is so funny... "Cookieville Minimum Security Orphanarium."

Next time, consider "quoting" someone that uses personal gremlins to see what the syntax they are using is. But it is rude to use someone else's gremlins without permission. The people of GsC, however, do have permission (see, I have this HUGE library of Black Mage stuff... because I was in an crappy 8-bit game...)

p.s.: Boirin, of course your gremlin is left-handed, I'm psychic. Just like how I see the rolling of eyes before it happens.

Yeah it is. When I was in high school we had band competitions. Each competing school stayed at the same hotel in Las Vegas, but they had unisex floors set up for us, and they patrolled the rooms.
But maybe that is just because they expect American High School students to misbehave...
jk about that last sentence but I do agree with Joseph, if you stick that many people together there's bound to be some mischief.

to the GM's: Weyman said I could NPC Halandar because... well the reason is really his business (but don't expect to seem him for a while... I don't expect to see him until Monday and I have a class every weekday with him).
Gamis, that is too too fantastic!

It has been far too long since I've last been here, and I wanted to post this note to let everyone know that I'm still alive. I have so many things to say, that I don't really know where to begin, so if this letter becomes a bit unfocused and rambling, please forgive me...
The first thing I want to say is to give a heart-felt "thank you" to everyone that had sent me e-mails a few months ago inquiring about my well-being. Looking back now upon that period of time in my life, I wished I had posted something here to let you all know that your e-mails were received and greatly appriciated, even though at the time I still could not send e-mails in reply (a problem that I finally was able to fix.. more on that later...).
It pained me deeply to have had to disappear so sudenly from Garics... I had thought that was something that I would never let happen again, but life has a nasty way of weakening the strongest resolve. I don't want to turn this letter into a depressing list of everything that had befallen me these past few months, but the events were serious and varied enough that I was in a poor state of mind to continue playing here.
Sadly, I don't think that I will be returning to Garics to play Aria once more (This is the 1st I've been back here, so I don't even know of her status). This decision unfortunately is solely forced upon me by my current obligations in the real world where any time I would be able to spare to role-play would be severly limited. The main factor is that my free-time when not at work is taken up helping to keep my fiance's business up and running (which is 80% of our income), and the past few months have been chaotic and hectic to say the least. I have never been able to divide my attention between two or more different outlets, so it was with great sadness that I made the decision to not return.
As for the other factors that caused my sudden disappearance, they were a combination of family problems, health problems (both mine and my fiance's), two relocations to Maine and Vermont and legal problems on my fiance's part that continue to cast a dark shadow on our lives.
I cannot express enough how much I love you all, and still consider all of you my friends. I again ask for your forgivness with not sending word or replying to your e-mails, but my depression at the time and my desire not to burden anyone with my problems kept me distant from all of my friends. Now that my life has slowly begun to become stable again, I will try from time to time to pop in and say hello, and now that my e-mail works (my old computer had finally crashed beyond repair 3 months ago, and I've finally been able to replace it), I promise to respond to any e-mails sent.
I will end this letter now with the sincerest wish that everyone is doing well, and that all your lives are filled with good health and happiness.
Much love,
Jen/Aria
I hope things improve for you both soon, greatly, and consistently.
.oO(Maine & Vermont? This would explain why you didn't answer your phone...)
Hope things get better as well.
:P
(Thanks for letting us know how things are going Area.)
Keep in touch, homegirl.Aria! I'm glad to hear you're alright.
Even if you can't be here we'll be with you in thought.Take Care and love,
Chris.
Hope things get better quickly.
Don't be a stranger either.
* two thumbs up to Grandmaster Flash Gamis!
* congrats to the levelees!
* my apologies for not being here much at all.
RL happened again (and it's mostly been fun RL stuff, so I have no reason to complain), but I had planned to take a more speedy restart here. But there's always next week - ha! Next week...
Take care,
JS
I have a paper to write today and tomarrow so I don't know how long I'll be on for the next couple of days.
You can stop by and tackle Darkar anytime you want.
I'll miss the time we have spent making weapons....... Wait a minute you barely worked there ;) (j/k I'll miss ye). Congrats to the Levelees :D
Nice movie Gamis
*Goes off to find something to do.
Things seemed to be flying while I was away, and now very slow...
Maybe I'm hallucinating?
Notwithstanding Tagg's knowledge of where to walk and how to break the wind....
Is that why rangers spend so much time alone?
Rangers breaking the wind?
I can break cookie jars... does that count? :D
I've learned to do that from many sleepless nights stuck with some of them in my head... you just push it really hard against a wall.
:bounce:
oh... forgot to say this earlier...
Yellow!! :D
But now I've got to go... Cya!!!! :D
I wonder if Maelut's family will have hot toddies ready for those who return alive?
Where do you live, if you don't mind me asking?
*prods Maelut to post
*Helps Angy prod Maelut*
Angelique, to get from the Willamette Valley to near Sacramento would be a ten to twelve hour drive. I should know, I make it every year or two. Though I cut off just south of Chico to drive across to Grass Valley... And okay, that adds quite a bit of driving time...
Not at all like the time when I wen't to DC, 100+F and a monsoon. Made me thankfull for our wonderfull meditranian climate.
