[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

Yeah, sword's clean and the deadly acidic nightmare properties of the slime are mostly unfounded paranoia anyway.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I don't want to tell anybody what to do but it might be an idea to find some other fight before you go to take on the vampire so Garr has a chance to learn the combat system without the risk of a single bung-up getting you all killed.

I just don't wanna kill the newbie again is all

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, shouldn't be too bad. The spiders were an anomaly, the combats in the crypt aren't supposed to be as rough as all that (up until the boss of course)

Oh, balance

what a tricky beast you are to master

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As long as somebody does SOMETHING.

Another week of "Bob carefully pokes things while everyone else stands around drooling" and Bulettes are going to start falling out of the ceiling.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

In the land of the broken arms, the limp-wristed man is king

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yes.

They can't very well attack you through the door;, they're just animated buckets of metal, not battering rams.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

looks like it's time for possibilities.png to make another visit!



Oh, possibilities.png. You're so helpful.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, that thing Shin just did where he just made a general skill-independent monster knowledge check

That works for anything

So you guys know

(I mean, the appropriate skill is still checked against but you don't have to declare the use of that skill specifically)

also BRADY IT'S YOUR TURN (he forgets sometimes)

FELIPE NO

The defensive stance gives him a higher AC and lets him shift whenever an attack misses him, so that seems to solve both the danger and the obstruction problems at once.

(not that there is an obstruction except for noobs who don't know what the W key is for yeah you heard me)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Also, just so you know, it's generally more helpful to use one of your at-will abilities rather than just doing a basic attack; there's no limit to the at-wills at all. The basic attack only really comes in for attacks of opportunity or knk ordering you to hit something because he's afraid to do it himself.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sorry man in my defense it was 5:30 AM

Most amazing jew boots

It doesn't look like there's any way of you hitting L22, let alone from P26. Too may corners in the way.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Must have been the brain of a dwarf.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ahahaha! But do you know what would be even funnier

If you stopped doing that

immediately

I was speaking idiomatically.

Having people do their own rolls is highly encouraged and makes things easier for me, so please do continue by all means.

How ya doing, buddy?

But they are weak! The armors are actually a level below you!

Fight woulda been over by now if not for the insistence of certain folks on standin' around buffing their nails.

FELIPE NO

Brady, the orange armor is dead. Do not attack it.

(Of course that technically occurs after your turn, but ummmm)

How ya doing, buddy?

Would you guys stop apologizing for taking your turn

I don't think anybody has a problem with you posting your actions "out of order". I'd much rather get your post 3 hours early as opposed to 27 hours late, and I'm quite capable of checking my own initiative sequence to determine which order in which to resolve said posts.

Anyway I've stuck all the PHB2 races/classes in the OP and tidied it up a bit for the peanut-gallery sorts who concern themselves with that sort of thing.

Most amazing jew boots

But of course.

Also, PHB2 brings in Background support. This gives the players a minor skill bonus generally and gives the DM helpful plot hooks. You can have as many as three background elements but only one of them grants a mechanical bonus.

If you don't pick anything I'll just assign you some background as appropriate to your playstyle so far to make sure nobody falls behind the curve.

GEOGRAPHY: Desert, Forest, Mountains, Urban, Wetlands

SOCIETY: Poor, Wealthy, Noble

BIRTH: Among Another Race, Blessed, Cursed, Omen, On Another Plane, Prophecy

OCCUPATION: Archaeologist, Artisan, Bounty Hunter,Criminal, Entertainer, Executioner, Farmer, Hired Killer, Hunter, Mariner, Merchant, Military, Scholar

DWARF: Outcast, Dedicated to an Ancestor, Ancestral Home Lost

ELF: Fey Ally, Wild Elf, Urban Elf

HUMAN: Ancestral Holdings, Heir of the Forgotten Gods

HISTORY: Accursed Lineage, Adventurer's Scion, Foe Killer, Guerrilla, Infiltator, Lost Kin, Mystic Slayer, Necromancer's Chattel, Poison Master, Punisher, Restless Dead, Revolutionary, Thief, Thug, Touched By Darkness, Zealous Slayer

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Strictly speaking the campaign is in Faerun but asking the players to research all these different regions to decide which one they're from is a little much. "I lived in a city" is much more flexible than "I lived in Baldur's Gate".

So rather than saying "PHB2 adds backgrounds" I should have said "PHB2 adds backgrounds that aren't absurdly overspecific".

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No, that's more of an OH WOE IS ME MY SHITTY VILLAGE IS OVERRUN BY DEADS kind of thing. While there are provisions for vampire PCs it is so far impossible to be a zombie.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah, but who knows where they took it to

Maybe they just stuffed it in a closet somewhere

you can't rule these things out!

I was speaking idiomatically.

You can always leave it up to fate.
