A Thorn In The Hand OOC

[Malak'ai]

Use a d100, easier for me to remember for percentages .

Ok, so far we have a tank, a gish, a blaster, a possible healbot and an Illusionist. Let's just hope you don't need to quietly open a locked door/chest or disarm any traps .

[D_Man_7733]

If you think it would be needed, I could write up a rogue to fill the spot. Focusing on lock-picking and stealth.

[Malak'ai]

You could possibly need it, depends on how you do things.
And no, only one character per player.

[Arranis Thelmos]

I'll use my illusions to trick the lock into unlocking itself.

[Malak'ai]

Lol. How about silent movies when you have to hide in a cave for a couple of days? . You could start your own traveling movie theatre .

I've been taking the average for my hit points. Should I roll?

(1d10)[4]
(1d10)[4]

...I just cheated myself out of three hit points. Seriously, let people take the average. I don't know a better way to screw a character over without intending to than forcing them to roll their HP.

If you thought we would definitely need it I was going to play the rogue instead.

I make lots of characters on whims anyway, but never really get a chance to play them. Except when they are "Guest" appearances as NPCs.

Ok, after quite a bit of thought I have decided HP will now be roll or average, which ever is better.

There may something you'll have to think creativly to get round, but you shouldn't really need one. There are always ways to get things done.

Ok, that's cool.

[Malak'ai]

Added my decisions about HP and Alignment to the first post.

[Marlowe]

I suppose I should do equipment. Sigh. Dull, dull, dull.

I must say, I'm quite pleased with the Hexblade now I'm actually building one. It seems like the villainous sorceror from an old Conan story, who instead of being a weedy guy who throws fireballs is a tough SOB with good social skills who happens to have some extra tricks (generally Enchantment, summoning, or transmutation) up his/her sleeve.

Some spells before level 4 would be nice.

EDIT: Mythweavers seems to be having problems. Well, backpack, waterskin, everburning torch, silk rope, grapple, oil, flint&steel, chalk, soap, and some paper and writing materials will not be complicated to add later.

Yeah, I noticed that at about 1pm NZ time, so it's been down for almost 10 hours.

@D_Man: Since your the table making master of the other game, think you would mind making a table of the characters for this one? I've lost the bit of paper I wrote the coding down on .

[Malak'ai]

Ok guys,
I've completed the map, only marking major land features. Cities/towns/whatever will be marked in when they are visited.

EDIT: Now, how do I link the image from my harddrive? .

[Arranis Thelmos]

I think you have to upload it to an image hosting site (Flickr, photobucket, majhost, ect) and link to it from Giantitp.

[Malak'ai]

And put my incredibly bad art skills on display for the whole world? *shudders*.

[Malak'ai]

EDIT: Stupid internet gremlins .

[Marlowe]

Photobucket works fine for me. Or did before China happened.

Verossa's basic kit is done. Upgraded her Glaive to masterwork (cancels out the -1 to hit from the buckler). There's probably some more stuff she could get, but I'll wait and see how we start.

And my pic appears to be magically working now for some reason.

Still a bit stripperific for my taste. Then again, I think Sanktkaiserform Vivio Takamachi looks nice, so what do I know.

[Malak'ai]

Ok, just waiting for character sheets from Wordplay and Machuchang and then I'll set up the IC thread.

[Marlowe]

Also, regarding the buckler ASF issue:

If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you can ready or loose a shield as a free action combined with a regular move.

So assuming we don't need our full-round action, you can just loose the buckler, cast, and ready it again next turn. It doesn't even provoke AoOs.

So, buckers cause Spell failure. In practice, it's very easy to get around.

[Malak'ai]

@Marlowe: Yep, looks absolutely fine for me. It works exactly the same as drawing a weapon as a move action. If you had Quick Draw you could do it for free.
Also, in regards to your characters god, who is "The Lady with the Green Eyes"?

[Marlowe]

The Goddess of Fortune. We do not say her name, for to call upon her is to have her instantly desert you.

[D_Man_7733]

Sure thing Malak'ai, I'll start making the table right away. (editing my first post ok? Spoiler everything else)

[Malak'ai]

Thank you D_Man , makes things alot easier.

[Marlowe]

Tee hee. Verossa is 2 inches taller than Draynor, while managing to be 15 pounds lighter. Wonder how that happens.

It happens because I'm terrible at thinking up realistic height/weight ratios.

Because I don't know what a realistic height/weight ratio is . in lbs at least.

But to have a better justification. You are taller but alot thinner, I am slightly smaller but have more muscle...If you aren't comparing ability scores...

Humans typically stand from 5 feet, to a little over 6 feet tall, And weigh in between 125 and 250 Pounds.

So if I am approx 75% max height (If max height were 6' 5") I should be approx 200 pounds? I think that is about right. your character would probably be about 190ish, if she was tall and thin.

Just estimation ect. It seems to make a bit of sense, but I get the feeling I have made a mistake somewhere. (probably in the realism aspect)

[Machuchang]

Sorry it's been taking a bit for the character sheet. Backgrounds been holding me up. I should have Dame Eleanora Worthe up soonish.

All good .
Now just waiting for Wordplay to check in, he must still be having internet problems.

Hey, if you're running this for G and D back in Blenheim let us know what they're playing and how it goes for them.

"I see through the veil of time with my strange and unspecified occult powers...I foresee that G will play...an inept Fighter."

Bluff check:(1d20+7)[25]

Bluff check:[roll0]

And D will play... a really badly min/max warmage .

I may have also convinced S and another guy from one of my classes to play.

EDIT: Quick break down for the others:
D is the powergamer who doesn't know how to do it properly, takes a month to bulid a character and refuses to show me his character sheets, giving pathetic excuses as to why. He also loves to play LA+ races and try and throw LA+ templates on top as well.
He also has a really bad attendance record.

G is... Well, he know's the rules but he doesn't know how they work and dislikes being told things don't work they way he has convinced himself they do. He also dispises females characters and he has no idea how to play anything that isn't martial, and even then he plays them badly. His last venter into spell casting was a Half-Orc Wujen with Int 13, Con 8 but STR 20 and high Dex.
The worst thing though is the fact is he doesn't listen when the other other players are making plans, and then gets really p@#$ed off when they tell him that plans have already been made.
