There is damage resistence, it's just called resistance.

Again I say, there is damage reduction. It's just called resistence.

Ok so, guys, I was thinking. Absolmorph has been gone for nearly four months, so I was thinking of replacing him.

How do you think we should go about this? I have a plan in mind, as does Moonie, but she suggested I post here and check with the party to see how they all feel about this.

Well, there needs to be an opportune time for Teodor to leave the party. Preferably in a way such that he can rejoin if necessary. I'm sure Zodi can find a way for that to happen.

Resistance is the inverse mechanic to DR. You had DR/Something, you took reduced damage from everything EXCEPT that something, this means untyped damage would always get reduced by DR. Resistance is at the inverse, you take less damage from whatever you are resistant to, this also means untyped damage is never reduced by resistance.

If we do, I would like there to be a way for absolmorph to come back. He did get occupied before for over a month last year too.

Secondly, if we do, then there will be the issue of what will happen with Bast.

Personally, I am willing to go either way with the putting aside of the character for an undetermined length of time. I will be more invested in this after we make this first decision.

Also, if absol rejoins, assuming we put aside Teodor for now, will he create a new character or bring back Teodor?

EDIT for clarification of what the heck I said here originaly: Basically, my idea is that Teodor will always be important to the plot, he'll just be somewhere else, a place you guys will likely go to.

He will also always have the ability to come back as Teodor.

Sounds good. I'm going to miss the Bast-Teodor interactions, though. Bast seems like the type of person who desperately needs the few persons she manage to bond to in order to not go stark raving mad.

Unless it's just "resist X", in which case all damage types are resisted, including untyped damage.

That's also a problem, since we also need to think of a way for Teodor to leave without Bast leaving as well, since they're so tied to eachother. I do have an idea for that, I just need to discuss it with Moonie.

I'm not talking about that until we have confirmed or denied the first part of the morion. Point blank.

No one has voiced any opposition, and although Mattos yet has to express any opinion, I think we can conclude that there aren't many alternatives.

Okay. So I have a question, what is the exact plan of LaLa's, so that we may know our default method of doing this?

My basic plan is that, after you've all finished the Shadowfell, Teodor will receive a message where you come out from the Shadowfell, and it will have such important information, he'll have to leave. I'm not going to spoil the specifics, but rest assured that it IS important enough for him to go.

Now, you mentioned that would be something involving character development. I personally think it would be really unwise to have a character development thing happen when the character player is not there.

Well, I don't mean development in that "his character changes" but that "a plot event that I have planned out will happen"

I am concerned what will happen to Bast. I don't really want to start a new character at this point in the game...

I do think Teodor would be able to convince Bast to stay with the party, I just don't know the exact words to say that would do it.

Not to be crude with my double posting, but I also will note that right now, the only thing I really need to do is talk with Moonie about what Teodor CAN say to Bast that would get her to stay with you guys.

So, Moonie, give me some examples of what Teodor could say, since you know Bast the most.

Hmm. In order to play her realistically, Bast might be more... weird after being 'abandoned' (in her mind) by Teodor. Would you guys mind if I do that?

I had a different idea, which would take Bast out of the picture as well, which would be my suggestion if y'all don't want to deal with Bast being angrier, possible abandonment issues, continuing to talk about Teodor for a while, and possible resentment to any replacement characters there may be. Oh, and the fact that if Teodor doesn't come back, I am not sure how Bast will respond.

Just so you know the facts.

EDIT: I'm not sure what you mean by that LaLa. The only thing you need? Becuase I still see that we have a lot mor eto tihnk aobut than just whethe ror not we should put Teo aside.

Sorry, I'll explain.

I've thought up a way that would allow for Teodor to leave. It is something that, looking at his character, I know he'd leave because of it. Everyone does approve of this, so now we just need to figure out how to deal with Bast, if I understand the situation.

What I'm thinking is that, in order to keep Bast with the party, Teodor will tell her that the party needs her. I don't know how to word this in a way that'll work for Bast, I really don't, but I do think it would work.

I'm sorry about ruining the game guys.

When you have combat advantage while using a light blade you gain +1 to the attack.

Essentialy it makes it so that you have +3 instead of +2 for combat advantage.
