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

I guess I should've asked for at least a "resist 10" instead of immune. Still, that list is useful (too bad the fire-resistant creatures are weak to radiant)...

Thanks man

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

Missed that. Too much shit, man.



Anyways, the complaint that we don't do enough adventuring and exploring can be countered by the complaint that it takes too much immediate response from the DM.

If we're incredibly active, then Pang has to post a lot, which sometimes he doesn't, but sometimes he does, which in turn can make us look just as inactive.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The problem with "immediate response from the DM" is that you don't always want that. Sometimes it seems better to give you guys a little time to respond to each other. Like, when Zerg does something, I want to give you the opportunity to stop him from doing it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey fuck you buddy.

Far better than trying to catch us out with resistant monsters would be to chuck a fucking shit load of things we can murder with ease at us and turn it into a survival battle. How many highly flammable minions can we murder before we go down (Not many probably given our inability to kill more than one thing at once). I'm a little dissapointed you didn't think to attack us with a bunch of goblins riding beasts and chariots so we could have a Mad Max-esque running battle with Ebony jumping from vehicle to vehicle killing people and Ivory trying to steer out of trouble and shoot people's wheels off. Maybe set a battle on thin ice which requires you to move at least six squares a turn to not fall through or something?

I'm going to save up for a Griffon if we survive the day.

I'm not really complaining, I'm just saying that while there are some kool things that can we can do with online DnD there is constantly the inherent problem of not ever really knowing if there's a reason your waiting or somebody just hasn't come around the forums in a minute.

Barring that, I believe it's the Black Mage's turn in initiative. *waits*

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

Oh that's interesting did wvlf become a black mage in the last couple of days

Oh, he didn't

How awkward for us both

How ya doing, buddy?

pffft...what's he gonna do from all the way over there.

Actually, wouldn't be a bad idea to look at his character and figure out what he actually can do. ^_^

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

When I do something that involves them, I always give them the chance to back out/stop me! Why else would I invoke a count to three?

I know it's kinda asking too much, but I always feel safer to proceed when there's a map presented. Of course, the reverse is true because of traps. But I just do!

Did you know that fire is the most common resistance out there?

But anyway, I asked for it by going all Monty Haul without the requisite rebalancing (e.g. item daily powers). No, I'm not going to hit you exclusively with fire- and acid-resistent monsters. That would be terribly unsporting, and you know how OCD I can be with 'fairness' and 'honor'. That doesn't mean I'm going to be tossing fire-vulnerable enemies en masse at you either!

I'm still adhering to an XP budget. Giving enemies extra gear kind of throws the calculations off. Buuuuuut, if that's what you want, why not...

One of the reasons I don't want to kill you immediately is to see what kind of plans you come up with. Don't disappoint me

Hmm, I still like to keep a logical narrative although I'm obviously railroading you. We'll see!

* Scribbles in notepad *
- Shin wants more unorthodox battles with interesting terrain.
- Give enemies flying mounts.
- Hope Ivory's insured against falling damage.

On the bright side, he has 1 day more (48 hours from Gheth's post) to wake up so as not to invoke Pang Rule 1!

FELIPE NO

Nyet. Gary's in the museum room. Sent him back a few posts ago

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

Oh, my. Are you contradicting... the Dungeon Master?



Jam it back in, in the dark.

Better not lose my goblin. ;_;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

O well. My conscience is clear. I totally told the goblin to go back.

Did he listen? Pfft.

Hopefully we can get more goblin and skeleton minions from the Temple!

P.S. The girl is moar like Deni than Skills.

How ya doing, buddy?

If she was me, she'd just be sitting there, shaking her head, and glaring at you while muttering: "Holy fuck, he just doesn't get anything."

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

I'm having minion withdrawls.

I want a familiar. Can I have a familiar?

I was speaking idiomatically.

You should give Zeph an intelligent weapon that does nothing but make snide comments, inform enemies of his weak points and refuse to hit anything.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So we're giving him Skills?

FELIPE NO

Waiting to see whether Gheth stays vertical or not before Glenn tries to use him as a distraction.

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

You know what makes a -great- distraction?

A dude alive.

But on fire.

Also, i didn't catch it before, but you could have moved that far without using an action point, Garr. you can turn standard actions into move actions.

With my Everybody Move ability, since I am not required to be next to the enemy, does that mean I can decide which direction they get pushed, perhaps even towards myself?
Also, does pushing provoke AoO?

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

When you push, the enemy must move (in any direction) further away from you with every step. If you want to move them in any direction, including drawing them to you, that's a slide.

Flute of the Dancing Satyr! Tundra Wind! Tune of Ice and Wind! You are missed.

Regardless, forced movement doesn't attract opportunity attacks.

Would you be doing this "Everybody Move" thing before Gheth, so he gets spared from some potentially punishing retaliation?

P.S. I don't suppose anyone's up for a little Heroes of Light diplomacy?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'd be all for a little diplomacy, but i don't think they'll be listening to Glenn. Gheth has the best diplomacy score (still only 8, ouch), so i guess it's up to Skexis. Talking can happen any time, correct?

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, but apparently it takes a standard (houseruled to minor) to use it in combat.

FELIPE NO

Puyet smash. Puyet ask questions later.

We could always try and get them to surrender once they're bloodied. I'm not a big fan of the extra pummeling we'll take, however. Perhaps knocking them prone would help. But then we're basically sandwiched between the good and bad guys.
