[DnD] D&D thread of planning and discussing things so people can see how OCD we all are.

Great. So I'm thinking this proposed shuffled sequence:

1. Gheth - Lance of Faith on Mouther A with bonus to Garr
2. Garr - Sweeping Blow on both Mouthers (+2 to hit on both); Combat Challenge on Mouther B
3. Gordok - Diabolic Grasp on Mouther B and slide it into Mouther A (Although targeting A is more damaging, it's got superior cover thanks to B - I won't hold my breath on you rolling 18) ; since you're dazed, I think all your other attack options also run afoul of superior cover, unfortunately.
4. Cal - If Mouther A's still alive, I take an action point if it's necessary to kill it. Currently I'm planning Shadow Wasp Strike, with a follow-up at-will if needed.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Since it's an unspecified bonus on my skills, I'm pretty sure it would stack. But I think Skills is right, we need to make sure we get the bloodied one first.

FELIPE NO

acer, i don't know if i can just let you do that. Playing DnD with loaded dice makes it really hard for the rest of us to get a chance.

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

* Shakes fist at loaded dice *

Stupid dice, giving a crit to an attack against Mouther B, and always coming up short to our defender

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Skex, in case the party decides to go to Lamid, maybe Gheth'd want to equip the (more powerful) stone of Avandra he found. It'll increase accuracy and damage by 1, at least for all implement attacks.

This is in case we're dropped into an encounter with an even bigger mob of mutated villagers from the get-go.

So uhhh, regardless of what I wrote in the thread, I'm pretty sure the next time I post we're either heading inside already, or the barricades will be breached by the creatures (if we decide not to go in).

Since Pang has explicitly said there are over 100 crazies, I figure now would be a good time to test those Molotov cocktails and grenades. Who wants to grab a lit torch now? Everburning torch or sunrod won't provide heat, so it must be a lit mundane torch (Longbow is 2-handed weapon, otherwise I'd do it.)

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

I am not wasting my explosives on things that are not your property.

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

Speaking of personal property, Glock's ritual book will surely burn really well. It should definitely be an ingredient of any wagon bonfire!

I was speaking idiomatically.

I guess I kinda took it for granted that I'd want to switch to that one. As soon as I saw it I was like

Wellll, we can take ranged potshots at some of the civvies from outside the barricades, although I think the constable will be all for killing his villagers. Let's see how he reacts to the greedy coward first

I do think we ought to conserve the area and blast attacks for minion-killing, once we climb in (or they break out). We've seen how quickly a bunch of flanking mutated villagers can reduce a healthy character into 3 HP...

Most amazing jew boots

Oh, Garr, do you want my flask of fire farting?

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

My bad man, I'll give you GP for it if you want.

I figured he'd be the first one to use it with that belt, and since you're more of a ranged guy anyways.

Whoa, you just yoinked it from Skills without asking? I thought you two got it all planned :<

Respect++

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I keep checking this thread thinking you guys have decided on something. And i'm wrong every time.

I believe God said it best:



GET ON WITH IT!

All four of us have already posted. What do you want us to do, Hawkeye

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

oh. oops.

and now that Pang's posted i can't even just copy that post to the main thread. Not that i would anyway, it's not like i could do what that guy's doing, and he makes it look easy.

Plus he's running a music contest. Gotta cut him a bit of slack...

And I agree he's got quite the writing talent. There is no way I can do what he does, and give each NPC a distinct voice. Hell, I'm having enough problems maintaining an archaic version of King James version type Olde Englishe...

Well, the way I look at it is that any one of us might die at any time since that's Pang's goal. We might as well stay prepared and put stuff where it can best be used. I'm honestly not past giving someone my old holy symbol or the necklace I'm using if they think it will be more useful for them/to sell. I simply don't put a lot of value on my in-game GP or anything I'm not currently using, personally.

So like I said, I'm totally cool with paying for it. I just figured I'd spread the love. <3

FELIPE NO

Garr makes perfect sense actually, since both of you do tend to get up close and personal with the enemy.

Dual Tech: Antipode. Gheth with Ice, Garr with Fire.

For the price of a minor action on you both. Please make it so

I view GP as the means to an end. A munchkiny end (currently thinking of enchanting some bracers to increase ranged damage by 1, gloves that do Mage Hand and Prestidigitation, boots that let you stand from prone as a minor, and a self-loading superior crossbow which increases accuracy by 1. Necessary to prioritize, because there's no way I'm getting enough gold to do all that.

'Course, I like to think I'm doing practically all the player archetypes described in the DMG to extremes. Extreme roleplayer? Check. Power gamer? Check. Provocateur? Check, though not up to Skill's level.

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

How about enchanting that stale bread with something

Also I was totally going to use it to light grenades but whatever you guys want to do with it, I guess!

A proper extreme roleplayer wouldn't even look at the monster compediums or loot lists. Anything their character wouldn't know is verboten knowledge. Putting on a silly voice isn't extreme roleplaying, extreme roleplaying is banging on about how you're using your sword to fight the enemies because the weird glow it gives off suggests some inner power, rather than carefully planning exactly what enchantments you want on your gear at each level, you can't be both mate.

Ah well, one can still dream, right?

Hay, I'm tryin'! That's precisely why I didn't try doing any knowledge checks on these enemies - Cal wouldn't know a whit about them with his pitiful Arcana skill! Or why he thought Avandra was male (low religion). Plus, I thought playing that "must salvage all enemy parts" to a ridiculous extreme counts... ._.

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

Well yeah, that's roleplaying but I've always thought of extreme roleplaying as being a complete lack of player knowledge. You might not have done a skill check on the monsters but I bet you looked them up in the book.

Now why would you think I'd do such a thing?

'Sides, unlike Thunderspire, this adventure appears to be a completely original one dreamt up by Pangsy. Couldn't look at loot lists or monster strategies if I wanted to

I was speaking idiomatically.

Pfft. And now that you assholes stole my flame juice, I can't rig the floating bodies with explosives. THANKS A LOT.
