[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

If I said I'd even looked at my character sheet more than twice this whole time I'd be lying.

As a matter of interest, what's the vial of alchemist's fire that Bob's carrying around do?

Also, am I right in thinking that the shield spell I just cast in combat at any time then it triggers if Bob gets hit?

How ya doing, buddy?

eh and here I was thinking you guys were assidiously updating them for any experience, gold, or encumbrances

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

I was.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I figured Pang would let me know if Bob was carrying too much or had gone up a level and with no dice to roll myself, I don't really need more than an idea of what Bob's good at.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Lurker, I should be able to arbitrarily insert your character into what passes for a plot around here during the next day or two. Here's your character packet; take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with your options and ask any questions you might have.

<3

I've been busy at work lately so I'll take a look at this when I get home.

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

But.... but.... bean counting is your specialty ._.

Ah, therein lies the difference between accountants and bookkeepers. A bookkeeper would indeed get fussy about the details and record every slight movement on the sheet. An accountant however takes an average of most of the figures and makes up the specifics to suit their needs. That's why accountants are so much better paid than bookkeepers, you've got to be good at making shit up and tweaking the facts to match your idea of how things should look.

Bookkeepers are mindless automatons, I'm an artist.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm lollin' at the chalice's name here. I'm sure it will be very rewarding to obtain.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Just to clarify, an 'encounter' ability is something I can use once per encounter, and 'daily' is once per day, right?

The ritual Animal Messenger seems really useless to me. How did you pick it, do you have some use in mind for it?

Can I improvise sling bullets?

FELIPE NO

Yup.

I don't see any rational reason why not.

Honestly, most of the 1st level rituals are pretty useless. If you want to swap it for something else before you start, though, here are your options:

Amanuensis

You capture the writing from one source (a book, scroll,

or tablet) and cause it to appear onto a special prepared paper, parchment, book, or some other similar item. This ritual copies up to 250 words of text, enough to fill one page with text. A copied illustration counts as a number

of words proportional to the amount of the page the illustration requires.

This ritual can be used to copy a ritual scroll, even if you have not mastered the ritual on the original scroll. Creating a ritual scroll in this manner takes twice as long as creating a ritual book but has the same cost (in addition to the component cost of this ritual).

Arcane Mark

You set your personal arcane mark on an object. It

manifests as a unique sigil of your devising. After the first moment, it is invisible and can be seen only by a creature using Arcana to detect magic. Ritual casters use arcane marks to identify their property and sometimes to designate places of great import.

Banish Vermin

You ward a single zone, up to burst 5, to be unpleasant to all kinds of unwanted rodents and insects of size Tiny or smaller, even if they are part of a swarm. Any vermin that are in the burst must leave by the most expedient means possible, and none enter the affected area for a period determined by your Nature check result.

Brew Potion

You create a potion or an elixir (see page 255) of your level or lower. The ritual’s component cost is equal to the price of the potion or the elixir you create.

Comprehend Language

When beginning the ritual, choose a language you have heard or a piece of writing you have seen within the past

24 hours. Using this ritual on a language you have heard allows you to understand it when spoken for the next 24 hours and, if your Arcana check result is 35 or higher, to speak the language fluently for the duration. Using this ritual on a language you have seen as a piece of writing allows you to read the language for the next 24 hours and, if your Arcana check result is 35 or higher, to write the language in its native script or in any other script

you know for the duration.

Fastidiousness

You or a creature within 2 squares of you is warded against becoming dirty. No matter what the target does, touches, walks through, or experiences, the target’s person, clothes, and carried possessions are not soiled. If the target is in any way soiled when the ritual is

completed, that filth is immediately shed. Attacks or other effects that involve dirtying the character work as normal but leave no lasting waste or residue.

Magic Mouth

You bind a message into a surface you touch. When conditions you set are met, the surface manifests a mouth and conveys your message, discharging the ritual. The mouthappears to be made out of the same material as the surface, but you otherwise decide the mouth’s appearance.

Make Whole

A single object that can fit in a 10-foot cube is completely repaired. The component cost is 20 percent of the item’s cost. In cases where you attempt to repair an item not on any price list, the DM determines the cost.

Secret Page

You ward writings so others cannot read them. Use of

this ritual protects one page (maximum 250 words). You make the page appear not to exist, causing anyone other than you to ignore it; the page’s presence is blocked from a reader’s mind. You can choose instead to obscure the page with false writings, which you produce before performing the ritual. Other readers see the false text rather than the real text.

Silence

You ward a single room (or a burst 4 area), against eavesdropping. Creatures attempting to listen to something in the warded area from outside the area take a –10 penalty to their Perception checks.

Tenser's Floating Disk

You create a slightly concave, circular plane of force that

floats a foot off the ground and can carry what you lay upon it. The disk is 3 feet in diameter and 1 inch deep at its center. It remains stationary unless you move more than 5 squares away from it, in which case it moves with your base speed once per round until it is within 5 squares of you. You can command the disk to move up to your speed as a move action. If you are more than 5 squares from the disk for 2 consecutive rounds, the disk

disappears, dropping whatever it was carrying.

Wizard's Curtain

You draw a curtain or several curtains from nowhere to ensure your visual privacy. The curtain is nearly opaque and appears in any pattern or colors your desire. The ritual obscures all sight lines into a single room (or a burst 4 area), applying a –10 penalty to Perception checks to see anything inside the warded area.

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

Well Fastidiousness would be helpful if Lurker's character is OCD and Wizard's Curtain would help if she needs to get changed without all the boys peeking.

How ya doing, buddy?

KOBOLD FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm really tempted to go and free the scary lizard thing before we leave the Kobolds.

Most amazing jew boots

We can do it when we come back with a full party. Can't trust lizardfolk.

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

I'll swap out with Brew Potion, I guess. Couldn't hurt.

edit: Oh, also, what sort of penalty do you get if your character is old? I'm thinking something around 50ish.

I was speaking idiomatically.

DO IT AND FACE MY PUPPET'S WRATH. IT ATE ITS MASTER. NOW ITS OUT FOR BLOOD.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There aren't any mechanical penalties that I can find, so go ahead and be venerable at whim.

FELIPE NO

Man I'd really like to initiate some dialogue but I feel like Argumentus is too stupid to perform interrogation.

I guess us serious roleplayers just have a hard time of it.

Most amazing jew boots

FINE I'll say something, since my excuse is that I'm not very good at this.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ahem.

Sorry for leaving you guys standing around engaging in character development. My DSL's been ridiculously spotty the entire weekend.

Scorching Burst in-a-can, more or less.

The way I'm reading it, it looks like you don't need to actively cast it at all. It just automatically kicks in the first time you get hit in a fight.

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

Wishing we had Zeph around to search for traps.

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

But I can heal you after you get your fool ass beat. That's good too, right?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't see no healing spells, missy.
