The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
Welcome To Random BanterWe hope you enjoy your stay.
This thread does exactly what it says on the tin. Only it's not in a tin. RB is a place to talk about... anything you feel like. Anything (As the title suggests) random, that you don't feel is significant enough to merit it's own thread. Though some topics seem to come up more frequently than others (e.g. Maths and Shakespeare)
New people should not be scared, we're all very nice really. Well, except for that guy over there, but never mind him. Feel free to jump in. I did, and see, now I have the transient and entirely worthless pleasure of making the new thread myself.
I'm afraid there are a few rules, put in place to keep these threads from getting out of hand.
Rules
Spoiler
1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.
2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".
3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.
4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.
5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."
6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."
7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.
8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.
9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.
10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.
11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.
12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.
13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.
And here, linked for your convenience, are the previous incarnations of this thread.

As stated above, this thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. That is to say, this is a forum, not your IM client. People have set up an unofficial IRC chat thingy for that sort of thing. Not only will you not annoy the people here, you will also help increase the popularity of the IRC chat.
Now... converse. It will amuse me."'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
Dri, what would you do that for? And he won't, locks, you see.
So, let us commence the muffin summoning while I set up this rainbowflesh Golem, which I never had a chance to show to the other RB thread, and move the echidna behind the bad guy.SpoilerJust for fun:

[/table]
This golem has a humanoid body made from Rainbowflesh.
A Rainbowflesh golem is 9 feet tall and weighs around 700 pounds. They do not generally vary in appearance, and are approximately human shaped, their bodies composed of large pieces of rainbowflesh. The main differences between them is the colors of their main sections.
Combat
Rainbowflesh golems are powerful and unpredictable opponents, being physically powerful and difficult to harm.
Rainbow Strike (Su): On each hit, a rainbowflesh golem generates a random effect:
1 Red: 5 fire damage (10 for greater)
2 Orange : 10 acid damage (15 for greater)
3 Yellow: 15 electricity damage (30 for greater)
4 Green: Poison, 1d4 constitution damage Fortitude save DC 17 for half (1d6 and DC 19 for greater)
5 Purple: Planar Distortion, Stun 1 round (1d4 rounds for greater)
Rainbow Beam (Su): A Rainbowflesh golem can use a prismatic ray effect, as the spell, except that the blue effect is replaced with the purple effect of Prismatic Spray, and there is no indigo effect, as a free action once every 2 rounds. The effect has a DC 17 save. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Retributive Rainbow (Su): When a rainbowflesh golem is destroyed, it causes an explosion of magical colors, as the spell prismatic Spray without the blue and indigo effects, but in every direction. The save DC is 19, and is constitution based.
Rainbow Aura (Su): A greater rainbowflesh golem projects an aura of color around it out to a distance of 10 feet. Each round the aura has one of the effects of the spell prismatic spray, except for the blue or indigo effects. This should be determined randomly each round.
Immunity to Magic (Ex): A Rainbowflesh golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance, except for (shadow) spells In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.
Rainbow pattern, Prismatic Ray, Prismatic Spray, and all similar spells heal a rainbowflesh golem for 1 hp for every 3 damage that would be dealt by the spell, or 3 HP per spell level, whichever is greater.
Construction
A Rainbowflesh golem’s body is constructed out of large pieces of rainbowflesh, connected by tubes of liquid rainbowflesh and pins of hard candy shell. The Rainbowflesh must be of high quality, and costs 1,000 gp. Assembling the body requires a DC 17 Craft (architecture) check or a DC 17 Craft (Rainbowfleshmasonry) check.
CL 14th; Craft Construct, antimagic field, geas/quest, prismatic spray, symbol of stunning, caster must be at least 14th level; Price 90,000 gp; Cost 46,000 gp + 2,600 XP.

Ooh, a rainbowflesh golem! I'm always looking for more prismatic weapons to add to my arsenal, in the event of another clone invasion.

Mmm, rainbowflesh.
First thing I do when I get a new bag of it is stick my face in and breathe deep.
It's so relaxing

I have a friend that claims to have sunshine in a bag. I keep telling him that it's LSD, but he refuses to believe me. Especially right after he had some sunshine.

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
So you don't like awesome photos? That cat's all like HAHAHA! finally someone let me out of my cage...
In other news... Deer are the new plague rats and should be sent to Britland, according to one of my friends.
Thoughts?
V: Silly! You're not supposed to feel better! Especially not when I use the white-text to whisper lascivious things and blandishments about what you should try to investigate once you read the steamy underbelly of liberal arts college ;)
So very, very silly. Guess you really are a silly hippy, dear...

Ooh, yes, deer. They eat our plants. Deport them, I say, deport them!
Seriously, though. They're not even afraid of humans any more. Soon they'll take over the world!

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
No, no, the sunshine in a bag is very useful, for making me feel happy, and also glad. It keeps me from being useless, you see. Especially since the future appears to be coming on...
Now if only someone would let me out of this cage...I am continuing to have a social life. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
Alright, let's get back into the swing of Random Banter, shall we?
We shall.
I'll start this off with a little reflection.
Pretzels are good. Potato chips--also good.
However, when pretzels and potato chips are mixed together--like in a party snack mix, for example--neither is palatable.
The chips, for their part, take on much of coarse salt of the potato chips. This doesn't improve the failure, but neither does it sink it completely.
No, it is the pretzels that fall from grace. They become soggy, taking on the grease of the chips. The fine salt of the potato chips dusts over the pretzels. The result is highly unpleasant.
So. Yeah.Spoiler<-I won this from Dr. Bath.Spoiler
