We are on a budget though, and I'm not sure how much we'll be spending at the moment..

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
It feels perhaps excessive to make it immune to adamantine attacks! I'd thought immunity to incidental combat damage was sort of the gold standard here. But then, I guess having the world's most permanent violin is saying something too!

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
So anyway, I believe I've got all my ducks in a row for Shandara. I've probably gone ahead a day or two temporally, just waiting on Aiden to finish experimenting with his wood? And then make the violin? Although, I suppose he would want to see the marking and stuff Shandara has put on the mock-up violin first.
If it will be a while until MrAbdiel is caught up, should we do something relevant with the paper Shandara was working on publishing?Avatar by linklele!

It's okay if you're feeling down!
It's just good to check in every now and then, to make sure we aren't waiting on someone who is waiting on us.Avatar by linklele!

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
@mrabdiel, what were your plans for the tools?
@windstruck, I think there's some time yet before Aiden catches up with Shandara, so if you want to do something else in the meantime, feel free to do so.
@prehysterical, if you look closely at the letter plate you'll see that the 'd' in question is ever so slightly shallower than the other letters. It was no issue when you tested it, but Thomas seems to use a bit less force than you do while operating the machine, making the issue come out.Last edited by DeTess; 2023-08-03 at 03:18 PM.

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
We could go down the thread of Shandara finishing up publishing that paper I've been mentioning, if you think that could yield something interesting.

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
So, in addition to what I listed above, you reckon the following measures could help mitigate such imperfections. First of all, for the letters, you'd need to make certain that they all get as close to a uniform height as possible. making molds and casting the letters could help get that uniformity without having to spend more time making them by han, though it does mean more up-front effort if some new symbol is required. The other area, the pressure exerted during the printing could be helped by including a spring-loaded mechanism or similar to ensure that the pressure is always the same, and is not dependent on the operator.
Another option could be to have the plate be applied twice rather than once to increase the chances of one of the two applications being 'correct', though you would have to ensure the paper does not move at all between applications.
edit: @windstruck, you could continue with that, yes, though you're close to done with preparing the paper.Last edited by DeTess; 2023-08-06 at 02:28 AM.

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
I'd say it should be finished by now. Where would Shandara bring such a thing?

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
Depends on what Shandara wants to do with it exactly. You could submit it to the archives to share it with others that look into the topic, but you could also try and get it published through one of the society departments to gain wider recognition for it, though that would take some more work in tracking down the right department and talking to the right people.

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
Perhaps there is a famous journal that makes publications monthly or such? I know I must be thinking of a magazine in real life that people might keep up with....
Well I don't think I should be posting links, but something like one of those AAAS journals or the Scientific American might be a good equivalent. We just need a good name for such a journal in this setting...
Artificery Advances
The Truenamer
Tarian Thaumaturgy
Wizardry Monthly
I don't know. They're getting lamer by the second! But yes, in addition to trying to get it published in something more well-known and prestigious, I guess she'll also officially file her findings into the archives as well.Avatar by linklele!

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
There! Posted. Sorry for the slow response. I'm working and studying now so my time is shrinking but I'm still keen!
Aiden's plan is to try to convince the Archduchess to finance a project that includes work for Bolten and Shandara, and supplying him Adamantine tools. Everything dovetails nicely! Presuming she goes for it.Damien Wayne in Molan's Batman {D&D3.5e}

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
Yeah, I'll see if Jay is around, or maybe I can just drop off a scroll for her to look at.
As for the damage numbers, yeaa maybe I could drop it, but I was also comparing it to stuff like scorching ray or flaming sphere. Compared to lightning bolt, much shorter line length and a possibility that not all the damage goes through.
It only really could do a huge amount of damage if a target chooses to let it, essentially. Though they will be prone as a tradeoff.
Not sure, should I bump up the maximum to 10d4/20d4? But we are still E6, so not like the caster level will ever reach that high.Last edited by WindStruck; 2023-08-08 at 07:09 AM.

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
Well I thought about it more, and given other utility (knocking prone, breaking barriers, pushing back) I think it is more fair to have 1d4 damage per caster level.
So anyway, I'll spend 150 GP to create two scrolls. And I'll take one copy of the scroll over to the Midnight Guard.
Edit: I like Aiden's proposal, by the way. It reminds me of those christmas trees you you set up and take down every year.. but oh, so much more grand and frivolous!Last edited by WindStruck; 2023-08-08 at 06:22 PM.

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
I think Bolten and Shandara have had enough for field trips, seeing as we went out on a "picnic" one day and nearly got eaten by a bear!
As friendly and unassuming (or technically, making assumptions?) as Aiden is, I just hope he does not get into hot water effectively promising the expertise of others.Avatar by linklele!

Re: The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo
Yeah, Bolten has had enough of field trips for a bit, but I'm up for an opportunity for Bolten and Aiden to actually work together to combine their expertise. I feel like once Bolten gets to know Aiden (and become accustomed to his chaotic energy), he will be one of the more genuinely warm artificers that Bolten knows.
