Yes, and your first one died there. My character watching him die... may have even had a hand in it...

The second one joined the evils there, so I don't count that as "surviving" it.

I need a body guard. Or at least a boyfriend to get rid of all the flirtation.

Anyone up for some romance and guard work? I'll pay you!
Hell, bored enough to make a fighter/barbarian... And I fail at making my own adventures in the city. Keeping him feed is just about all he needs, though extra cash is nice.

He would be a merc from the outside, coming to see the city and earn some gold. kinda generic, but I can add details as I build the character.

Apparently, there's a particular char op guide that's become quite popular. I've now received five characters with virtually identical builds using the exact same obscure sources.

How do you feel about using the variant intimidate rule where strength is the main stat, not charisma?

Hmm... that's weird.

I definitely know that my build doesn't fall under said guide, but am intensely curious. But, it's none of my business. I shall embrace my unoptimized Rogue/Bard with glee.

a question... are foes scaled to the players op level? By that I mean, would a half elf fighter with all his feats in the weapon focus chain face the same threats as an uber charger build? Just wondering to what level I can make the build fun/silly without being dead fast.

Find a valid source and include it on your sheet.

There's a base level of difficulty; however, the more optimized you are, the more optimized and/or numerous your enemies mysteriously become.

Now that I actually try to find the variant rule it turns out that it was just homebrew. The only other options come from either illegal or impractical sources so nevermind.

Gah, I'm so not used to playing a character that's so roleplay based. All my RL games died, and the game we most recently played was one focused entirely on combat, in an arena setting. I always play quiet characters too, so I have to get re-used to talking again.

Yeah that one struck me for a blow too. I was seriously expecting more number crunching.

well, combat is funky on PbP... so RP games tend to do the best.

also, character sent, tried to make it easy to check...

I did all the number crunching years ago... literally years ago.
I have a long list of NPCs with stats, gear, loot, etc. all finished and ready to go. Most of them are like "Generic City Watch" or "Random Thug." I have them in a spread sheet with their stats already formatted for posting and just copy paste their rolls straight from the sheet. It makes running things much quicker and easier.

The fact that you did this years ago indicates that we're not killing people near fast enough to get you to generate another batch. We should step up our game.

For what it's worth.. Killing things gets very dicey in the city. You do have to worry about the guard, because the city guard in this game can and will kill you. And as you start killing things, they start looking for you.

Or at least it seems that way.

Well in retrospect of recent attempts I should have waited and amassed enough wealth and magical items so that I could do the murder equivalent of air assassinating someone in an enclosed room and hiding in my own bag of holding to get away with it.

No, it just indicates that I reuse a lot of material and have a lot of generic builds that can be quickly modified to suit what I need.

Without giving away too much details, melee or caster?

I'd rather not answer that. The people submitting the build know who they are. Not that using a build you found is banned. I just thought it odd that I got so many copies of the same build pulled from the same guide.

I dont know, but my character may be one of those. I've always wanted to play this character, but it doesn't work well outside of city. I personally think it may be weak inside the city.

I'm going to be looking for the item, and I don't mind joining up. Thats assuming I survive my current predicament.

But I'm incredibly curious! Now I have to find one of them, fight them and then reverse-engineer the build! And I have so many other things to do already!
