Yeah, it's more of the other two I haven't heard of in a week now. It's ok if whatever RL stuff happens, of course.

The two of them have a back-and-forth going, and it's more natural for two people to talk, then one to another, etc. than for us to talk to him in volleys.

I also can't think of much to say at the moment.

Yarr.

Since I'm hooked on Skyrim (), expect any single book you find to be like the TES games ones. They'll be short/cryptic/not entirely relevant but I'll try to write them fully.

Knock knock.

Can we get a consensus about what to do? So we can move forward.

I'm willing to just say "they discussed for 10 more minutes, then decided to [follow the plot take the job]", if the others are alright with it, to avoid the whole 'suddenly, all suspicion disappeared because of the special plot aura the man had' thing.

Okay, Melchia's manifesting Attraction on the Gypsy, expending his psionic focus to boost the save DC. The Gypsy is entitled to a DC 15 Will save or be attracted to Melchia.

Intimidate check: (1d20+3)[20] If the Attraction power is successful, he'll receive a +4 bonus on that roll, for a final total of 24.

Heh.

I'm going to have you roll a Diplomacy check to see if you were successful. Both of your previous rolls were, giving you a substantial bonus.

(1d20+2)[11] - That is a narrow fail, so a counteroffer will happen.

Was the attraction power successful? Also, I wasn't going for diplomacy there; Melchia was telling the gypsy that he would resume his torture unless he cooperated. Regardless, that would make the above roll a 15 if the power worked.

Oh right, your power applies to Diplomacy as well. This makes it a success - will edit the post in a couple minutes.

My ruling about the situation: whenever you're asking something from someone, that is going to be a Diplomacy check. Succeeding on the Intimidate lowered the DC by 5, because he was persuaded that refusing would have been quite bad.

If the guy had been more of a pushover, a successful Intimidate would have been enough. This one, he needs to be convinced even when facing torture.

You're kidding, I hope.

I was waiting for a while before putting some more rails ahead of you, to see if there were any particular actions you wanted to perform. Will update the IC thread later then.

Of course I'm kidding. This is the longest running game I've been in on this forum. I'd like to finish the campaign first.

I'll prepare spells later, I'm posting from school right now.

EDIT: Could you mark the DM spoilers? I opened it, not knowing what it was.

Oh, but you can see those spoilers. Usually unmarked spoilers are for everyone to see, and are spoilered just to split the number crunch from what's happening. The secret rolls aren't posted at all, I do them manually. If you don't want to open the spoilers, though, I will label them.

By the way, what do you guys think about a fourth player?

Sure. Is it someone you know in RL or someone from Gitp? Just curious - in another game I'm in an RL friend of the DM joined, and I'm wondering if it's all the rage now.

No RL people. I was just thinking that, given we have a dedicated buffer, it might be worthwhile to fit in an extra melee or ranged damage character.

If everyone is ok with that I'll proceed to first contact a person I've played with a couple times already and liked a lot, if not I can post a recruitment thread.

Forgot Rubido's save vs. fatigue: (1d20+4)[5] vs DC 14. fail

Oh also, Rubido, I'm always going to assume that you stay in one stance all day. No need to "activate" them at the start of a battle.

Oh another thing :D I see you have a counter available (Moment of Perfect Mind). Do you want to have it on auto-activate? So every Will save I have you roll is instead a Concentration check if the maneuver is ready? Else it would probably be a bit confusing, since we'll have to wait for you every time you need to roll a Will save, because you have to decide whether to use it or not.

Since it's a counter, yeah I'd like to have it on auto-activate, especially if a save or die is involved.

EDIT: In that case, let's make it a swift action to change stances instead?

It's like that already with stances! Just remember that if you use an immediate action then you don't have the swift action the next round.

SoDs on Will save are rare, and probably won't happen at this level... probably nevertheless maybe you'll get the other save moves too, so ok. I was asking because you, having Spellcraft, can make informed decisions, but I fear it bogs down the game to wait half-NPC turn for your decision. Your call.

In that case, let's just keep it in auto-activate. I'm planning on focusing on the Diamond Mind discipline. Any recommendations on a secondary style?
