[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

That is some of the densest linework I've ever seen on a coloring book. It's like they knew the target audience would just put it in a baggie and stick it on a shelf rather than actually give it to a kid or anything.

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

Always liked the 2nd Ed. era as it didn't have that feeling around it. Sure, it had the same people who went crazy collector over Bronze Era comic stuff, but at least they used their D&D books rather than buying them for resale.

Course, I'm sure TSR would have liked it if they could have built up that type of collectibles obsession. Might have been them putting out mini's rather than Wizards.

Also, the hydra picture is awesome, and I may have to give a poor try at coloring that.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Awesome. A gay elf and his unknowingly bi-curious dwarf boyfriend take a boat trip with a guy dressed as a camp pirate and a young noble with a penchant for pre-op transexuals. Gabe's going to fucking love the next adventure!

Pang, has Bob got time to buy a stuffed parrot to stick on his shoulder before the boat leaves? I would go with an eye-patch but you wouldn't be able to see it under his new mask. Although I suppose he could wear it over his mask...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Are the cannons loaded already?

Would a flame burst fire a cannon if it was loaded?

FELIPE NO

I can't imagine they would just leave the guns loaded, no. It would be pretty unsafe as a general practice. If you wanted to go to the trouble of loading them I suppose fire is fire, though it might be more practical to borrow one of Delic's torches

Well looks like I accidentally introduced gunpowder weapons into the campaign

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

Does the boat have backup oars at all?

I mean, if someone were to attempt to dislodge the wizard from the top of the mast by setting fire to it, would the boat be set adrift?

And more importantly, when can Bob get cool spells that let him teleport around and shit?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Added in the pirate defense scores, sorry about that.

I don't see any oars, no. As far as teleporting goes Dimension Door is Level 6 and it's close enough to teleporting as to make no difference.

As far as the mast goes somebody can just climb the damn thing why else have half of you got all those ranks in Athletics and Acrobatics?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh no, climbing it is a much better idea, I just thought setting fire to it so everyone had to row the rest of the way would be funnier.

So who's up for a pre-emptive retalitory strike on the pirate ship? If we jump aboard and start scuttling their boat the pirates will soon leave the merchants alone, right?

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

I assume my character is at S29?

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

What map are you looking at? That's a barrel or something I think, I assumed yours is the winsome visage at X29.

How ya doing, buddy?

Nobody's at S29. You're at X29, with the big goofy mustache.



(most Irons-y I could get on short notice, which is to say: not very)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

FELIPE NO

Oh awesome, I look like some kind of insane Russian from a C&C sequel

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

Pang, as I didn't specify which daily spells I was taking, I'll stick with Acid Arrow and Expiditious Retreat.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Someone should update the story Wiki - it's still stuck at preparations for the bar battle.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, if we're going to be honest not a whole lot that was interesting has happened since (hopefully I have learned my lesson about trying to design my own dungeons), but Brigid's unfortunate end ought at least be summarized. I'll try to take care of it in the next couple days if no-one else gets to it.

I have given the following lecture about 10 times now, so I'll keep it brief.

LeHah, if you glance at your character wiki you'll see a section labeled At-Will Powers. These are all specific techniques you can use with your weapon (in your case, the bastard sword). While it's perfectly acceptable within the rules to just make a generic sword swing, it's significantly less tactically interesting. Each of your powers modifies your attack in some way to make it distinct. Brash Strike boosts your attack bonus, Cleave gives you a chance to hit multiple targets, and so on.

The green powers are At-Wills; you can use them freely at any time, just as you would freely use "I swing my weapon at that guy".

The red powers are Encounter powers; you can use each once per encounter.

The black powers are Daily powers; you can use each once per adventuring day.

Every player has stumbled over this, and every time I forget to explain it in advance. I blame myself

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

If its any consolation, I was looking at my character sheet two nights ago and said aloud to myself "Wait, wheres my THACO?"

My mind is still stuck in this whole Second Edition world; 4E hasn't quite grasped my higher reasoning powers.

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

I'll write up the Hargast debacle at some point if Pang can't be arsed as the continuation of the Lay of Bob.

Pang, I did technically say I was standing on the steps but that was only for dramatic effect, row Vis fine too!

So what exactly are the rules about minions then? I assume they're just weak, generic enemies to carve through on the way to the boss in a fight? If nothing else, they make us look good, rather than spending three weeks chipping the health off a gnomish demi-god.

Most amazing jew boots

They only have the one hit point, and attacks which normally do damage even on a miss don't damage them on a miss (because instakilling things by missing would be unspeakably lame).

That's about it!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I like how you have to give the party jokemode battles now that the real muscle is gone.

arg

FELIPE NO

Man I'd rather have joke-mode over no-mode

which is the mode in which there is no battle

because a bitch can't be bothered to show up

Yeah but this is your basic laughably-easy-but-with-environmental-doodads tutorial fight, again

I made sure to not include a doorway this time, so they can't all hide behind it

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

Floating brains are pretty scary tbh

they can do anything

How ya doing, buddy?

It's the thought that counts anyway.

Pang, how high is the mast for the purposes of spell and shooting ranges?
