Like? How so?

[Draconi Redfir]

TNH i figured her family was Noble from the very start. I mean everyone knows them and they are very famous, why wouldn’t they be noble somehow?

[HalfTangible]

Like? How so?

Even an angel who works in another country's heard of 'em. Sure, they're strong mages, but it seemed odd to me. I thought he would've referenced a powerful mage from Kago.

And then of course she says she's a noble and matt prepares to hang himself. :smalltongue: Suddenly makes more sense.

[RdMarquis]

Ooh, I almost missed this update.

So, is Radic snapping Janine out of a particularly fun daydream in that second panel? :smallbiggrin:

Also, Fir is quickly becoming my favorite character.

[Dark Faun]

Just passing by to say your comic's got a great potential and I hope it'll meet much success.

You know, I think I'm going to stick with this method of updating from now on; it saves bandwidth.

[SamBurke]

Oooh. Prince Riley is kick-ass, methinks.

"Send an actual ambassador instead of an arrogant adolescent cleric who hasn't yet finished his training."

[Marnath]

That guy is supposed to be an ambassador? Really? O.o

[blackjack217]

worst ambassador ever.

[Lix Lorn]

Congrats Riley. You just earnt a fanbase. :smallbiggrin:

[Hiro Protagonest]

It looks like Riley is pragmatic, though it might just be more the fact that he doesn't like being told off by an overzealous apprentice cleric. Probably both.

[Draconi Redfir]

Well really Lloid, what are the chances this one guy happens to know you? It's not liek they posted your face all over the kingdom now is it?

[Hiro Protagonest]

From what we know, he's a wanted enemy of Kago.

[SamBurke]

Dude. In-comic, he's basically in the top 10 of all warriors in Kago (being one of the four selected to be prepped for being the head honcho of the whole frikin' nation, either in politics, war, or magic). And. He. Deserted. To. Their. Arch-enemies.

Imagine if, say, Seal Team 6 decided to become part of Al-quieda. Now tell me if they would not become infamous. Tell me that they would not get major frontline stories.

All in all, Lloyd has VERY good reason to be nervous.

[Jinglebelle]

Prince Riley appears to have high wisdom, as well as high charisma.

I should think it's not quite that bad, since a lot fewer people will have seen his face to recognize him. No television or media, remember?:smalltongue:
It might be that most Kagoan's know about the defection, but the average soldier could look him right in the eye and not know, unless they've seen an artist rendering of him on like a wanted poster.

Bingo. Also, look at Lloyd. He's one of the only Kagoans with brown hair.

Was that "message" really the beginnings of a warning, then?

Well, he is shaping up to be pretty cool... :smallsmile:

[Hiro Protagonest]

and if his class happens to be warblade or swordsage, then he'd probably be the coolest character, other than maybe Tinder or Radic.

[Taekwondodo]

Prince Riley is officially awesome. Looks and brains? Winning formula! :smallbiggrin:

[Alagaesian]

Enemy of the state aside, there is a very good chance that the random Kagoan cleric would be able to recognize him. This IS inspired by OotS, after all. Unlikely events are expected to happen if they will cause some amount of conflict.

[Eleanor_Rigby]

No Riley I'm afraid, but I managed to pull this together with inkscape and GIMP last night. Hope it's ok? Took me a while because my inkscape-fu is negligeable and I gave up twice before finally finishing it. :smallbiggrin:
T'was actually a pretty educational experience making it...

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa405/Zomp_Jorr/serrinandtinderbanner.png

If people are going to use it I think I'd prefer it if they rehosted to their own accounts where possible but otherwise I'll leave the restrictions of use up to Coffee as it's her characters and they were almost directly (albeit amateurishly) traced from the comic. I'm not going to be publishing it outside of this forum. Virtual confectionary points to anyone who can find the comic and panels the drawings come from, sorry some of it doesn't show up great on the white background. :smalltongue:

ETA: I think this is the version with a white backdrop - I can upload a transparent background version if that's preferred... I've still got the .xcf and .svg files.

[blackjack217]

I'd recommend cropping out the originals from the comic instead to be honest, though your taste is impeccable.

[Eleanor_Rigby]

I'd recommend cropping out the originals from the comic instead to be honest, though your taste is impeccable.

They're pretty obviously not Coffee originals yeah... but for whatever reason I'm not so comfortable about posting somebody else's work in with mine without express permission from the original artist. Plus, I can crop relatively well but it'd still show that they were cut out from somewhere else which for this project... isn't so much to my tastes...

Thanks for your honesty though! :smallsmile:

[CoffeeIncluded]

Thank you, Rigby! Though if you don't want to trace, why don't you try to draw it yourself? Of course, I'm not telling you to do anything, seriously.

[Eleanor_Rigby]

Thank you, Rigby! Though if you don't want to trace, why don't you try to draw it yourself? Of course, I'm not telling you to do anything, seriously.

You're welcome :smallbiggrin:
Mm... not quite sure what you're asking, sorry.
It basically was traced, as in I saved a copy* of the comics in question to my PC for reference, imported them into inkscape and then made my own pieces comparing them directly. So in a sense I both traced it and drew it myself...? If you meant why not draw it in the sort of style I've used for Murphy's Law fanart before... the main reasons are that it doesn't always translate cleanly into banner-scaled form and that I've still not finished the two previous fanart things I started for ML ages ago. There's method to my madness, it's just highly irregular. :smalltongue:

*Copy, in this case, means: a cropped and fairly heavily pixelated screencap. Not the cleanest way to do it, I confess...

ETA: Meant to say, btw: how come there's no love for "Mark"'s character design? Guy has like, brand new hair and everything (at least, I don't recognise the style). His skin tone looks to be the same as Matt's - does that mean he's from Tobeem too somewhere down the line or is it coincidental, I wonder?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Yeah, Mark's the first guy in the comic with a full beard. And update time!

#132: And All The Characters Merely Players (http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/AndAllTheCharactersMerelyPlayers.png)

[Hiro Protagonest]

The plot hook has come in the form of a young prince! :smallbiggrin:

So now they're all gonna have to infiltrate Kago, get some help from Lloyd's friends, kill Rust, and then do something about Kago's government. Or something like that.

[Lix Lorn]

...Riley RULES. SO MUCH.

[Devmaar]

Is it just me or does Tinder look more disturbed about this than Lloyd?

Since the others haven't reacted much I'd guess the significance would be lost on most non-Kagoans, but Tinder isn't Kagoan either so :smallconfused:

[Hiro Protagonest]

Is it just me or does Tinder look more disturbed about this than Lloyd?

I got it! Tinder's actually a dragon in human form! Wait, we already knew that. :smalltongue:

Is it just me or does Tinder look more disturbed about this than Lloyd?

Since the others haven't reacted much I'd guess the significance would be lost on most non-Kagoans, but Tinder isn't Kagoan either so :smallconfused:

Tinder, as a dragon, has a vested interest in the whole Kagoan government/ edict of toleration thingummy seeing as if he isn't technically one of the plavaan races he's as good as. His backstory shows he has fairly good reason to be "on the plavaan side" of the conflict - so if Byron's dead, then that means there's gonna be chaos about the succession which could mean things can only get worse for the monster races I guess. Especially now that Tinder's heard Lloyd's version of events and knows that most of the young uns in positions of power have already been conditioned to hate or what have you. Either way the fact that Tinder has strong feelings on Kago as a state has come up more than once - he decided to hate Lloyd almost on sight when he was under the impression Lloyd was a paladin of Kago (which he kind of was, but eh) during the initial fight in the woods before he joined up thing.

The others... Serrin I guess was probably kind of of the view that Byron was a bad egg anyhow so doesn't know what to think whereas Matt and Radic would just be plain neutral on that I guess. Where'd Janine go by the way?

Re: Mark's beard: another milestone for the comic I guess? :smallbiggrin:

ETA: I was ninja'd by the terribly swift SwiftMongoose, of course, you don't have to be swift to ninja me as I take ages to type most of the time. As for Janine, I'm assuming she's just behind Matt and slightly out of shot.

[fizzybobnewt]

It's because your posts are so long.

[TLMonkey]

Yay! Breaking the 4th wall! And Lloyd probably blew his "I'm not from Kago" cover with that comment... I agree with what someone wrote earlier in a post, they'll end up going to Kago, sooner or later... But I think it's gonna be a while until they get there and/or resolve the problems there are there. P.S.: Does that sentence make any sense?

Anyway, it's pretty good, I just wish you had all the time in the world to continue it even at a faster pace :smalltongue:

Oh wow, I like this new Prince guy. When he told Lloyd he can't claim to know stuff if he doesn't hear it, was he referring to the stuff about Kago, or the fact that Lloyd is from Kago?

[Eleanor_Rigby]

I think Lloyd has heard of Rust, Rust was mentioned in his flashback, after all.


Mentioned in the flashback?

this i do not remember
:smallconfused:

DM

I think the confusion arrises here from amalgamting the Kago scenes into one experience. As far as I remember there have been three distinct "trips" to Kago: a single page cutaway scene early in the comic's run featuring Murphy and mentioning Elizabeth and Lord Byron - this scene was from a "reliable narrator" but we didn't know much of anything to put it into context at that stage - a flashback visit framed by Lloyd's account of his backstory to the rest of Team Gale -this scene was also reliable although Lloyd's narration was not necessarily, it was also subject to numerous time skips which confused matters, and finally a second cutaway visit which took place after the events of Lloyd's flashback and took us about up to speed with the events of Team Gale's side of the storyline. Rust only appeared in the last visit and nobody in Kago who was shown seemed to know who he was, which implies Lloyd wouldn't have either.

As for what Prince Riley was talking about... I wouldn't be surprised if he had an inkling who Lloyd was, especially with Lloyd giving himself away so much, but I suspect he was talking about Kago in general. Time will tell, no doubt.

Oh, and I see Janine's back, safe and sound :smallamused:

[Asta Kask]

And she wants to jump prince Riley's bones. No surprise there.

This one (http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/TheBestWizardsAreUnpredictable.png)'s my favorite. Serrin may be innocent, but that doesn't mean she's naive or unwilling to defend herself.:smallamused:

Hey Coffee, which strip is your favorite?

Ooh. Good question.

Ah The Merchant of Venice... that was the first Shakespeare play I ever studied at school for some bizarre reason.

Obviously the two of them had an interspecies romance many years ago but both suffered amnesia somehow after a very dramatic moment. Then something along the lines of her accidentally reverting to dragon form near the corpse of his dead sister made him vow to take up dragonslaying.

Either she didn’t get amnesia until later, she got amnesia a second time, she forgot about him, or she just didn’t see him. my bet is on the latter.

hmmm... or perhaps a wizard of some kind removed the memories of their time together as a punishment for something since she still knows her family.

Yeah, I like the background characters a lot, especially cigarette guy. Its nifty to see "life" in the background characters.

[RdMarquis]

Orc in a business suit. Definitely not something you see every day.

It's a relatively common sight in Shadowrun, though. Anyway, this latest comic is pretty interesting. I take it Radic and Riley never actually met, even though they may have seen one another?

Personally, the awkward thing about the last panel is the angle of the bridge compared to everything else. It's not too jarring, all in all.

b) the Seniors who weren't good enough are culled
c) Every Senior gets raw material for a film and has to edit it

[Qwertystop]

My school had the last day of school for Seniors recently. The day was also Senior Ditch Day, no senior should come do school. :sigh:

[Silverraptor]

I came to school on my senior ditch day. I spent the time to both:

1) Do some last bit of preparation for my senior project, which is required to graduate.

2) Take a suprise quiz and/or exam in 5 out of 6 of my classes. All the questions were "What is Mr. Noah's last name?" or some other ridiculously easy question that had the answer contained in it as well. And all these quizzes actually affected our grades.:smalltongue:

So, ya. That was my senior ditch day.:smallcool:

[Alagaesian]

My senior skip day was a couple weeks ago, the day before prom, because all the girls going apparently needed seven hours to do their hair and makeup. I actually showed up at school because I wasn't going to prom.

What I did:
Seminar - Finished a physics lab I missed because of a band concert. It was worth 10% of my grade, so it wasn't like I was going to skip even if I was going to prom.
Physics - Our teacher set up a thermodynamics lesson because none of the irresponsible people were going to show. Not the boring kind of thermo, the FUN stuff that included setting things on fire and boiling water with a magnet.
Band - We couldn't play because half the class was missing, so we listened to music and played ninja the whole time.
Chem - Watched a movie since only four kids showed up.

Conclusions:
It is more fun to come to school on senior skip day than it is to sit at home and refresh OotS all day waiting for the new comic.

I spent my senior day/night on a cruise on the Baltic sea with the rest of my class + a few other schools as well:smallwink:

on my senior ditch day, I didn't actually ditch at all, I went on a personally arranged and approved field trip to a college that I think of as worthwhile and enlightening.

On my Senior Skip Day, I was actually home sick. As a result, my absence was counted as unexcused and I couldn't make up my work, since they thought I skipped school like the rest of my class. :smallannoyed:

Thumbs up!

[leakingpen]

There's a typo. It says "Seeking the economic greatness that Runite was truly starting to obtain, my father passed the Edit of Toleration."


Am i the only one VASTLY amused that the typo created the word Edit?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Ugh, great. I'll fix it all later.

You know what it is? Runite, a trade-oriented, capitalist city-state, was the first in Nordica to realize that there really is no economic benefit to the sort of intolerance that Kago preaches; everyone has the capacity to make and spend money. So, they (legally; the Plavaan get kicked around a bit everywhere but there's a difference between rocks in the window and government-sanctioned xenophobia) gave the Plavaan the legal right to do so.

So when Kago started to get aggressive, many of the Plavaan moved to Runite. Ta-dah! Runite just got several thousand working-class laborers and middle-class professionals, and they're growing by the day! Everyone wins! (Except Kago. They're prejudicing themselves into bankruptcy.)

[SamBurke]

Ooh. Can we see the kitten by any chance?

[Jinglebelle]

That racial tolerance helps the ecomony and prejudice harms it is historically accurate. Spain crippled themselves economically in 1492-1502 by driving all of the Jews and Muslims out of the state, thus depriving itself of most of its entrepreneur class. There are other examples, but I'm trying not to go full on history nerd. Racism is unproductive.

[Asta Kask]

Poland-Lithuania in the 14th and 15th century did what the Runites are doing now. Then in the late 16th and early 17th century they reversed policy and soon fell to their neighbors.

[Silverraptor]

Ooh. Can we see the kitten by any chance?

Agreed.:smallsmile: (Though, your probably didn't take the picture of the kitten before it was adopted.)

Feel free to educate us. School never taught me anything like this.

I'm not sure it can be discussed here :smallconfused: wouldn't that fall under the forum's politics rule?

[SamBurke]

Or possibly the religion rule, given the example.

[CoffeeIncluded]

I don't think I can give a full explanation either, but I think I can give a basic one. Using the races found here.

Kago, upon invading the Alavaan Plains, started mistreating the Plavaan even more. They left, mainly to Runite. Kago lost a lot of working-class labor and middle-class merchants and professionals. Who hold the wealth. These laborers, merchants, and professionals left Kago and went to Runite, a city-state that asks questions like, "Can you make money?" over "Do you have green skin and fangs?"

Which nation will economically thrive, and which one is all but bankrupt?

Especially when you consider that many of the fleeing Plavaan are salting the fields behind them, and presumably doing other things to ensure that Kago gains nothing from the land.

[Alagaesian]

A moderate amount of racism isn't very good for the economy either. By 'moderate', I mean how the northern USA generally treated immigrants and blacks in the late 1800's.

If the prejudiced race is given very little opportunity to work in anything other than unskilled labor, then they are essentially forced to accept any wage those employers offer them, even if it's only a few cents a day. This floods the unskilled labor market with cheap labor and forces all the 'accepted' groups to take low wages as well for fear that they'll be replaced by someone from an 'unaccepted' group.

This process also pulls down workers' rights as well. Eventually, you get a new ultra-poor working class made up of unskilled laborers and an ultra-rich class made up of the employers who exploited the low wages for their own personal profit. The new poor class has so little money that they can't buy anything but food and shelter, while the new rich class has enough money to play God with the economy. Essentially, all the new wealth acquired by bringing new workers into the economy goes to the people who already have too much money.

This is why that orc in a business suit speaks volumes about the Runite economy. The Plaavan are allowed to become educated and work in SKILLED LABOR. Wages are NOT dragged down by the entrance of Plaavans into the market. They are allowed to employ themselves as tradesmen and merchants, so some of their wealth is circulated back to them. This further encourages more Plaavan to come to Runite.

Plavaan Haggis.

Lutefisk gets a bad rap, but it really doesn't taste much of anything. A slight hint of sulfur and that's about it. And it has all the texture of watery porridge.

No, we are talking human bodily fluids are involved here.

[SamBurke]

*Walks into kitchen, grabs brain bleach, opens jar and puts on desk.*

Go ahead.

[Asta Kask]

Why is it a good idea...

...to take a poisonous fish...

...put it in a hole in the ground...

...urinate into the hole...*

...pile a lot of rocks on it...

...let it ferment for six to twelve weeks...

...dig it up again...

...and then eat it?

This part was apparently an urban legend.

[SamBurke]

*Coughs so hard he knocks over brain bleach...*

Wow, really? I don't know why people would think that's a good idea either.

[Asta Kask]

Actually it's quite ingenious.

It's an Icelandic dish called Hakarl. The fish contains a toxin called Trimethylamineoxide. In contact with urea it is converted into ammonia and something else (I couldn't find details, but my guess is carbon dioxide).

So you pile a lot of rocks on it to press the poison out. And the fish contains its own urea.

Now, Scandinavia was a desperately poor part of Europe. So the Icelanders had a very good reason to use all the fish they caught. What really boggles the mind is - how did they figure this out? My guess is that pressing the toxins out came first - it's a rather natural idea.

And it's not done exactly like that anymore. It's done in factories where they have presses.

Edit: Fortunately for Coffee, it's apparently Kosher.

Wow, good work coffee, i only just started reading and am already hooked, im reall liking it so far!

#136: Family Values (http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/FamilyValues.png)

I'm not too pleased with this one...

[Draconi Redfir]

i was not expecting that from Serrin XD

[Ninjaman]

:smalleek:isn´t she a mage:smallconfused:

[Hiro Protagonest]

:smalleek:isn´t she a mage:smallconfused:

Her family doesn't consider her useless.

And it looks like the elves are very supportive of all professions. [/sarcasm]

[CoffeeIncluded]

Her family doesn't consider her useless.

And it looks like the elves are very supportive of all professions. [/sarcasm]

It's the seven major families. If you're from one of the seven major families and you can't even cast a cantrip...It's almost unheard of; scary stories that elven parents tell their children so they'll behave.

[blackjack217]

You would have to be below average in all possible casting stats, which would be odd. Though an outcast mage-slayer type does present intriguing possibilities.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Rogue also works for an outcast.

If Coffee ever runs a pbp game in the Murphy's Law world, guess what I'm gonna play.

[SamBurke]

Yeah. I have to say, the idea of being an outcast of the elves would be FUN. And I think a PbP would be FUN, too.

[Draconi Redfir]

Ten bucks says the necromancy family makes an appearance in the future.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Yeah. I have to say, the idea of being an outcast of the elves would be FUN. And I think a PbP would be FUN, too.

Oh, that would be fun. The one thing is that it's got to be in one of the major families, if you're doing an outcast. (And we're talking squib-level lack of magical ability).

[Hiro Protagonest]

Oh, that would be fun. The one thing is that it's got to be in one of the major families, if you're doing an outcast. (And we're talking squib-level lack of magical ability).

I think you shouldn't have to be low intelligence to pull the no casting thing off. It would just be a self imposed penalty that the character can never cast arcane spells.

[blackjack217]

Or a homebrewed flaw of some sort...

[Lord Raziere]

Oh, that would be fun. The one thing is that it's got to be in one of the major families, if you're doing an outcast. (And we're talking squib-level lack of magical ability).

hmmm....I've got a character that could fit that actually.....

[Hiro Protagonest]

Or a homebrewed flaw of some sort...

But then all the munchkins would take the flaw and play a divine caster.

[blackjack217]

But then all the munchkins would take the flaw and play a divine caster.

I meant no divine, arcane or binder ect. no umd either.

[Hiro Protagonest]

I meant no divine, arcane or binder ect. no umd either.

Well, I might play a druid.

[SamBurke]

So I assume a Paladin would be out, then? Snap.

Oh, and Coffee, IS there any chance you'd GM (or let someone else GM) a Murphy's Law PbP?

[Marnath]

Well, I might play a druid.

Druids cast divine magic too, actually.


What about this update don't you like, Coffee?

[Hiro Protagonest]

Druids cast divine magic too, actually.

That's what I mean. I'd only ban myself from arcane casting, not enough to warrant a flaw with the other tier 1 classes out there.

[Lateral]

If I'd have to guess, Marnath, I'd say it'd be the faces in that last panel there.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Well, with the elves of the major families you'd still be okay, if the butt of a few jokes, if you went to be a cleric or druid (remember, the Elvish deity Isarus was a wizard and magic is one of Isarus' domains). But to have no magical ability at all...

I'd love to; I hope I can find the time for a short one. And I don't know how to GM.

[Lycan 01]

Serrin says that too cheerfully. :smalleek:

[Hiro Protagonest]

Serrin says that too cheerfully. :smalleek:

That's because she has a talent for magic, and so does the rest of her family, so she has no idea.

[RdMarquis]

Serrin says that too cheerfully. :smalleek:

I just imagine cheerful is her default expression, and from Serrin's point of view, she's just explaining something which doesn't not overly concern her. Also, I'm not sure why, but I find it cool that there's a family for each school of magic.

[Asta Kask]

What if you are a Pekane and wish to specialize in e.g. evocation? Is that a choice in this world, because in some worlds the magic chooses you. If you are born an evoker then an evoker you are.

Pretty much.

Yeah, you can (though you will be teased for it). Remember, it's a family specialty. But not everyone specializes.

Serrin's spellbook is a family grimoir. It's got spells going back hundreds of years, and each member of the family is supposed to create a spell and add it to the spellbook. This happens in weddings too; a new spell is a major part of the dowry. Lucrid made Lucrid's Protagonist Detection as the wedding dowry spell.

[Strife Warzeal]

If the various major elven families specialize in a certain branch of magic, I think in a Murphy's Law setting they would get some sort of bonus to that.


A +1/+2(maybe more) on the CL of those kind of spells.

An extra spell slot per spell level that can be exclusively used for those kind of spells.

Gain a free set of spells as if they were a domain wizard of that branch of magic.


Just a few ideas, others feel free to say their own.

[Asta Kask]

They could get a bigger starting spellbook. Two extra 1st-level spells of that school would seem sufficient.

[Dusk Eclipse]

What if you are a Pekane and wish to specialize in e.g. evocation? Is that a choice in this world, because in some worlds the magic chooses you. If you are born an evoker then an evoker you are.

You are thinking on sorcerers; Wizards study a lot of time to become Wizards, so you can't be born as a wizard much less born as an evoker; specialization is a choice.

From an optimization point of view Abjuration is not a really good specialization as the most critical spells from that school are on the cleric spell list; but they get a ton of fun spells and one of the strongest prestige classes The initiate of the Sevenfoil Veil, fear the power of RAINBOWS!!!!

And I can really picture Serrin taking that Prg. Class.

[Asta Kask]

No, I've played in a setting where wizards specialization was inborn. You didn't have to become a wizard, but if you did you would specialize in a given school.

[Dusk Eclipse]

No, I've played in a setting where wizards specialization was inborn. You didn't have to become a wizard, but if you did you would specialize in a given school.

Was that a homebrewed setting? cause in the "Standard" D&D setting, Eberron or Forgotten Realms that isn't the case.

[SamBurke]

And, the one person to whom that's the case (Sorcerors), I'm fairly sure they don't specialize, get me wrong. I don't play wizards much.

[HalfTangible]

And, the one person to whom that's the case (Sorcerors), I'm fairly sure they don't specialize, get me wrong. I don't play wizards much.

True. For a sorc to specialize they need to take a spell focus feat.

True. For a sorc to specialize they need to take a spell focus feat.

Spell focus =/= from specializing, Specialization is an specific game term that is exclusive to Wizards

[Draconi Redfir]

Wich one did you miss cofee?


Why isn't there a family for universal, who are famous for their versatility?

Because if you do everything you aren’t really specializing.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Why isn't there a family for universal, who are famous for their versatility?

Because not everyone in the family specializes; Serrin and Saphrin haven't. It's just that when they do specialize, they specialize in their family's school. And they're familiar with spells of their school, even if they didn't specialize. Notice that Serrin immediately identified several of the wards at first glance, even though she's only level 9 and hasn't specialized.

[Asta Kask]

Bet they each have their own PrC as well.

Pathfinder gives each specialist little perks related to their specialization. It's a cool idea.

Just a heads up. Most egg laying reptiles have belly buttons. (the tube leads from the animal to the yolk, transferring nutrients). its just not always in the belly, and really hard to see.

Don't work your fingers to the bone, missy. Remember - all work and no fun makes Coffee a dull girl.

Heh. My high school experience ended all the way back on the first of June. It's been awesome with no school.

I've been off since the 30th of May, only going in for exams now.

I left school 18 years ago.

I am ancient. Wrinkled, gray-haired and stooped I fumble in the perpetual darkness that surrounds my age.
