[DnD] D&D Discussion & Enlistment (Save Ends)

I think the best idea for guild party selection is a two-consecutive-adventure maximum, have everyone interested in the next adventure say so and which character they'd like to put in to it and then pick at random from that field. Have the guild run by some mentalist type who makes weird decisions or something.

I already gave up on the Minotaur bard idea, we've had too many bards recently by far. I made up a Minotaur barbarian instead who's designed to kill entire groups of minions in one long succession of charge attacks before chopping up their boss with a big axe (A combination of things that make charges more effective, the power that lets you immediately charge when you reduce an enemy to 0hp, a few attacks that knock bad guys prone and a Greataxe that fucks up prone opponents). I plan on playing the character entirely as a pacifist mind you.

And the name? Beefi Kertanz of course.

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

Yeah Zeph, I'm not convinced there's a tavern on that boat.

Can you duel wield two pistols?

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

Still, might be worth a shot for anyone wanting to play a comedy gunslinger.

I was speaking idiomatically.

A halfling rogue called Sam? You ever read the Warhammer books about Sam Warble?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Gnolls are rat-people? I always assumed they were sort of mini-troll things or something like gnomes, maybe a cross between the two. I guess I should read more into the subject rather than just assuming everything is what it sounds like.

On a totally unrelated note Pang what are your feelings on the fastball special in place of a charge?

I'm sure I picked up a feat or power or something that lets you leap instead of running on a charge attack.

This party is so hilariously unbalanced it's awesome. It's either going to result in an epic murdering spree or a very short, messy death for everyone involved.

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

I'm not sure I like the portrait you picked for Beefi, Pang. I saw him as more of a Fresian, like this:



Jam it back in, in the dark.

I updated the Obsidian thingy with my character background if anyone's interested.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

He also has the highest single enemy damage attack with his 4d12+7 rage strike.

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

I built Beefi to be as damage dealing as possible and bollocks to anything else. He's got a ton of hp and endless surges but I gave literally no thought to defence as I was setting him up. Even in my initial submission before Pang toned down his magic items he wasn't wearing particularly defensive armour. Cette, you're more than welcome to abuse his surges as he'll never get to use them all otherwise.

I didn't really go for pure stat maxing so much as I went for a character that'd be amusing to storm into a group of bad guys and fuck their shit up. Initiative counts for nothing Zerg when your character is an avowed pacifist and won't attack anything until he gets injured anyway. I think you're forgetting that I play this game for laughs* rather than to "win" as such.



*Trolling the rest of the party

Is there anywhere on that character sheet that reminds us what our feats actually do? I'm sure the character builder thing adds in all the right bonuses and such but for example, I've already forgotten how much extra damage I do to prone opponents due to Headsman's chop. I know I can look them up on the character builder but that's installed on my other laptop...

Most amazing jew boots

Quite, that's why I wanted a list.

How ya doing, buddy?

Er, that's on the other laptop too.

Oh no wait, I uploaded it to the GFF server!

Although that's the version with comedy amounts of magic gear, the feats and such are unchanged now. I've given you ownership of the article too.

He still has the horned helm and running shoes now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Cheers Zerg, that's just what I was looking for.

Do we have any action points yet? I never really understood them.

I really hope that gargoyle doesn't have any damage resitances that will lessen the massive can of whoopass just opened by the enraged cow-man.

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

Ok, cool. If I push a large monster in a thin corridor, does he go backwards down the corridor or diagonally up into the wall?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well I was basically asking if from where we're all standing at present, using one of my moves that pushes an opponent would result in Slim getting squashed or the gargoyle smashing into the wall but it's good to know I can use them to knock people into cupboards and such too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Actually, it helped me out meaning I didn't have to suffer an AoO by charging past the gargoyle to get into position for the golf swing. If I'd missed with the charge I'm not sure Pang would have let me shift through the corner to end up in the right place. It certainly made the manouvering easier at any rate.

Most amazing jew boots

I'm sure I read somewhere that I can use rages twice a day. Does this mean I can enter two rages per day total or use each one twice?

Also, just for future reference as it's unlikely to become relevant here (What with the gargoyle having wings and me running out of easy ways to knock something prone), how off the edge of something does a large monster have to be before it falls in?

Edit: Scratch that first question, it's rage strike I can use twice per day only I can't as you must be raging and it takes up an unused rage to use it. I guess once you level up enough to have more than two rages it becomes more effective.

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

I've taken the alternative option of smashing his face against the dungeon wall for the time being. If anyone takes a move before my initiative turn that moves him then I'll either redact or just alter the end point of the initial shift.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I think we all assumed it had wings and was flying.

I shall stick with my face/wall attack however.

Additional Spam:
Pang, in light of us not realising the thing wasn't flying, am I allowed to delete my post and re-post something else?

Most amazing jew boots

That's why I asked, my edit is much funnier, trust me.

Additional Spam:
New post is in place although I've no idea what dice you want me to roll.

Asking the accountant maths questions? You should totaly trap Deni's character in a room and ask him questions on the history of the Byzantine Empire, or whatever the fuck it is he has four degrees in.

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

Heh, I didn't quite realise the extent of his issues till I looked at the map. Still, if anyone can murder their way through 35 monsters in a small cave, it's a kobold barbarian.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Try throwing them at each other, you might be able to kill a couple a round that way.

Most amazing jew boots

Grab one and spin round, holding him by the legs, thereby hitting everything around you. Job done in a couple of rounds.

You've got to be able to use something as small as an Imp as an improvised weapon.

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