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

Start your ShadowRun game and you can have the personal honor!

How ya doing, buddy?

But you see, Deni isn't even about the challenge of killing me. He just has an irrational (?) desire to kill me. So...

Though mind you, I totally intend to employ every rule in the book to prevent him from killing me, just to spite him. My good friend nuttyturnip can testify as to how hard I try to not lose.

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

You've got to remember Zerg that some people (i.e. everyone else) is playing the game for fun and laughs, not as a statistics exercise. Sure your posts are peppered with colour and filler but your calculated approach is completely at odds with the fun-loving, chaotic nature of the rest of the gang. In RP terms that's fine, Cal can be a cynical killer but he shouldn't expect the others to be too happy playing meat shield all the time.

I suppose the point's been driven rather bluntly. We'll see if Cal gets the chance to effect a change of personality, perhaps driven by Denny's death.

Well, Argumentus was no striker, though I guess with the way Pang built him, he probably was dealing out that much damage. Rogues are melee strikers so they do have to go head-on; I do believe Zeph dished out much pain on one of the enemies with his backstabbing capabilities.

Though I am curious (and not in the mood to reread Dungeon of Doom at this time). Bob was a ranged striker too, how did you play him in melee?

Make silly posts for laughs? That can be arranged. I have just the thing, just wait till after the battle

Of course, with my lack of wit, it would probably fall flat. Oh well.

How sure are you Pang doesn't have any reinforcements coming?

Anyhow, I still don't have a good enough grasp of the rules to do it, I think. I got martial characters down, but I'm not really sure how Psionic characters play. Power points in lieu of encounter and daily powers sound weird.

Tell ya what. Let's see how many people are interested. Still teaching myself how to work with Maptools, and I'm not sure if the interest warrants the investment for it.

Quite. But well you see, Deni, you indicated a desire to kill me even before Cal had a chance to do anything. Naturally I thought you hated me for no reason whatsoever, since we have never directly interacted before!

I was speaking idiomatically.

What? You mean the corpses floating in the amphitheater aren't of Sophia and her bard mates? What trickery is this

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I totally thought that "swirling nimbus of bright light" was someone's low-lying pyrotechnics!

What, it's a dimensional portal or something?

EDIT:

Oh wait, you mean that glowing thing on the floor? I thought the people pissed themselves or something. Certainly looks like sediment.

FELIPE NO

FFFT wasted item daily

If Cal had really cared about kill counts, he would've have directed one of the arrows towards Mangler B! Even easier to shoot cuz of no cover.

How ya doing, buddy?

Lazy!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You are forgiven!

I actually just searched for "ladder" in Dungeon of Doom. Forgot the wiki too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Many, many things! Be more specific!

That I may give you a more satisfactory detailed answer.

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

Are you ignoring Mo0 by any chance?

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

I'm on to you

Do you want another rambling endless mess like Dungeon of Doom? Do you? BECAUSE I CAN DELIVER IT

I was framed! Framed I tell you! It's all Sophia's fault! Anything but the Dungeon of Doom! (Well okay, no Tomb of Horrors either!)

Also no objection to extended rest though I wanna get my magic sword back. If you could just shoehorn it into the narrative?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Zeph's playing another rogue? Heh.

I am so jealous at his awesome to-hits for both melee and ranged.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Objection recorded earlier, but I guess if the rest of the party like to have another fun underground time, who am I to say no

I've been messing around with Maptools for a bit, and was wondering if you know of some way to "snap textures to grid. I stupidly adjusted the grid when I started with a map, and now all the textures are way too big in proportion to the grid size...

FELIPE NO

Oh, wasn't referring to objects or tokens. But more on the background drawing tools. Basically, I changed the grid size to 20 from 50 before starting (how stupid of me). If I change it back, everything I did will be out of whack.

As per the screenshot, the grids don't fit and I don't see a way to make them fit (other than resizing the grid).

A possible workaround is to insert directly from the resource library as an object or the background. Buuut I'm wondering if there's a hidden feature I'm missing (like the free-rotate with CTRL+Shift which took me a while to find).



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

Dangit.

Oh well, Shin and lurker will just have to deal with a substandard Labyrinth of Doom arena map

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dang. No Denical. Oh well.

This is normally a large creature, but how about a medium-sized one of these

If it's a huge dungeon, I might need extra ammo. Retroactively purchasing 150 arrows for 5 GP, all into wagon.

Not that it matters for me, but more of a curiosity. Would a town of 2,000 have alchemical reagents for sale? In case Garr, Gheth, Glenn, or Puyet want to get some magical stuff that I can conjure up

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Pang, you said none of us understood the language, but doesn't Glenn (Hawkeye) speak Elven?

Hawk, you found it so technically it's yours. But... may I take the centaur statue, please?

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

Those are mighty small doors on the new map (looks like we all need to squeeze through). Is this intentional?

Fair enough. I just didn't want to post spam, is all.

Whew. It's a good thing I didn't make more lightning arrows.

If they're errata-ing Throw and Stab because it inflicts too much damage on a single enemy, I guess Twin Strike will be nerfed in the next update

Thanks for the heads up Pang.

_____________


The errata also says aid another is no longer set to DC10, but scales based on 10 + half the aided character's level. Does this mean that now we roll 1d20 and add the relevant skill bonuses, instead of just rolling a simple 1d20?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hay Pang, what's the to-hit of longbowing a jar of piss at X10, hence scattering painful shards of glass and acidic micturation in a 5-foot radius?

FELIPE NO

Mmm, an excellent suggestion, lurker!

Too bad we all know Pang will surely find a way to twist it so that the elf and goblin join the pudding against us.

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

Awww, okay. I guess I'll just have to smash that right in front of the pudding to form a physical barrier while Hawk kites it to death

How ya doing, buddy?

@Garr: You should be able to move to W11 with no problem. May I suggest you consider "Tide of Iron" instead of Cleave? If successful, you can push him such that Puyet can move to V10 without provoking an OA.

@Zeph: Yeah, but you grant so many free basic attacks to your allies. For instance if only my Action-Pointed Twin Strike hit even once, I could've gotten in a free ranged basic attack due to your Bravura presence

On the other hand, some of your powers are rather risky, basically begging Pang to hit you if you miss with them.
