[NEXUS] OoC VI: Do You Think You Can Handle It?

[Maxios]

Detect Evil's a bit interesting actually. What does it do on a non-Dnd character, from a world where alignment isn't objective. I would never have Raz show up on any alignment scan, because he's not a magical evil being, and from a world based loosely on the real one.

Good point. In that case, Maxios would use detect aligment which may detect ANY alignment (incluiing Neutral Greedy and Lawful Stupid)

I'll have the new thread up right now!

Hmm sorry for bringing this up again but,
In regards to RPGsr4me and TE’s “plan” to blockade the bars. How would blocking Trog’s even work when it exists in both cities at once?

“gasp there is an legion of golems blocking the Inside entrance to the tavern … enters Trog’s from TOWN yay.”

Oh and remember, turn about is fair play …
And I shall say nothing further on the subject.
-------------------------

On a completely separate note.
How is this character concept? The Mage Masher.
-This character is based off of an old 3rd edition prestige class The Forsaker. Basically, he had a thoroughly traumatic experience with magic. Hates magic, believes magic is unnatural. Personally, he has realized not all magic is evil and tries to tolerate living in a magic filled world. Other than that he is a normal “happy” person and an average fighter.
-Abilities/ equipment: Has magic resistance to a degree, however this reduces the effectiveness of healing magic. He has several anti-magic abilities most powerful of which only active well under attack by magic; dispel, anti-magic field, dismissal, and disjunction. Losses all abilities if uses magic such as using a wand/scroll or drinking a potion, even if forced. He can break magic items by effectively reducing hardness, not functional against “natural” magic materials methril or adamantine etc. He believes that if he does not destroy at least one magic item per day the mages will win and his powers will dissapear. Carries potions and scrolls with him so he can break them. Will not own magical armor or weapons, but hold a massive amount of Rods of Cancellation, greater rods of cancellation, the ten foot pole of cancellation etc.

-I could see this character fitting into several roles / organisations.

Questions, comments, concerns, edits?

Sounds pretty solid. Just remember not to pick fights with magical characters too often, for obvious reasons.
Also, I agree with Happy's post wholeheartedly and propose that Happy's First Law of Power Levels be put somewhere public. Because it can't be said enough.

Good then! In which case, she would likely get an Orange Power Ring

I repeat, LANTERN really, really needs background checks.

'sactually a biggish deal for a character who can't fly, come to think of it.

Just turn left at Albuquerque

Seriously speaking, can't you just hatch a ride with a food transport or something?

Non-DnD Guy reads as: "Generally Okay I Guess!"

Good point. And let us continue this discussion on the new thread

Well, usually, you cast detect Evil and wait for the character's player to give you the reading. One of my characters gave a "no reading" once.

...I should bring that character back.

Your doing it wrong

"Detect Alignment!"

Any character I make probably reads as: "Orange?"


Or maybe it would read their astrological alignment, about as helpful
