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

Right, so: Level 8. Everybody gets +1 to two ability scores of their choice, and one feat. ALSO RETRAINING I am always forgetting to mention the retraining. If something's not working for you, swap it out! Go crazy.

As was established a while back the offline character builder which we've been using is no longer being updated by WotC. It will still WORK (provided none of you uninstalled it in the meantime), so if you're not concerned about getting the latest options you can just pick your level-up feat from that.

Alternately, if you do want to look at new stuff (basically anything produced since October) I can PM you the login for my DDI account and you can use the online builder which I've already imported all your characters into. It's just one feat but I don't want to deny you guys options.

There is an unofficial third-party workaround with updates for the offline builder but it's kind of a nuisance and not really worth the trouble just to select one feat. Probably gonna switch to it next time we see a new PC though since it allows you to fold third-party stuff into the CB. Corgi! In the builder! The future is now soonish.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey Pang, can you send me an exported version of Sam so as I can toss him in my builder?

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

I wiped my hdd recently and haven't reinstalled the character builder yet so can you hook me up with a url and password please?

Edit: If I bump up my strength to 22 I get an extra +1, right? Given Beefi's one-trick-pony-ness I'll probably bump up strength anyway, along with constitution so he can ignore hits more often.

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

PM sent, Shin.

Yup.

Updated Samwise. Retrained a power and switched a feat I would have used if it had been available in the original creator.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I don't remember offhand what my new feat was I wanting, but I wanna retrain Toughness to Extra Manifestation: Windsoul. I will also double Shin's request to look around, decide my feat.


Just nobody change my manifestation until I'm in control again. Whee new personality fun.

FELIPE NO

Wheeee, leveling! We should do this more often.

Glenn boosted Dexterity and Strength, reaching the next threshold for ability modifiers for both. Took Winterkin Heritage as a feat - gives 5 + half level cold resistance and a new encounter power for getting out of trouble. Just in case Glenn wasn't good enough at that already. Also retrained Snap Shot away for Cloud of Steel.

I already changed everything on the OP character sheet, just need to fix the powers page, but that'll happen sooner or later.

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

I put my points into CON and DEX, got the Snake Blooded feat, and retrained Guardian Harrier for Thorn Cloud Shot, and Stag's Grace for Scrambling Climb.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ok, I'll add some strength and constitution and the Hide Armour expertise feat, although it was tough to choose between that, durable to make him even more unkillable or axe weapon focus and powerful charge because he doesn't do nearly enough damage already.

Edit: In fact, I'm going to retrain Opportunity Gore to Weapon focus Axe.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If I swap out one my level 4 feat for chainmail proficiency will I need to wait til the next time I level to retrain my current chain proficiency to scale or can we assume an upwards cascading effect? If so I'm switching to this.

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

All right, I'm still slowly applying everyone's level up changes to Obsidian Portal and waiting on wvlf's decision for a new feat, but you guys can go ahead and continue play. Provided you don't do something that requires wvlf's immediate input, I suppose.

Edit: Those changes are fine Cette, so far as I'm concerned retraining can be treated more or less like a respec in Diablo or something; change anything you want about your guy except his name/race/class.

Edit 2: Wealthy adds +2 to History, not Intimidate!

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

I'm really just lurking right now. Can't get to a computer where the character builder works, so just move me around until Wednesday or so. I do want points toward int and con, I just need to check feats.

How ya doing, buddy?

So with the obvious way ahead blocked, are we going to toss GFZ into the water-filled pit to see what's at the bottom or what?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I heartily endorse that plan. I say we tie him to end of the pole I'm carrying and dunk him as far as we can.


edit: the intimidate is from Lost Kin.

FELIPE NO

Go ahead and do it, wvlf said he's afk anyway and aside from catching diseases, it won't actually kill him.

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

CB says Lost Kin offers a bonus to Nature checks regarding geography. And then Two Sides of the Coin offers Bluff or Insight. Maybe this Intimidate thing was a bug in the CB at some point. =/

Also, while wvlf is still waiting to take a look at his feat options, I thought I should mention that today's Dragon article offers 4 new genasi manifestations: Embersoul, Magmasoul, Sandsoul and Sunsoul. They're not in the builder yet but if you wanna take one of those instead of Wind or whatever just say so.

How ya doing, buddy?

Figures that the one guy that falls into the algae pool is too short to touch bottom.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hmm in the last version of the old character builder it reads

Associated Skills: Any Class Skill
Associated Languages: Any language other than Abyssal or Supernal

I always kind of assumed it had been picked up via a habit of headbutting anyone who won't give him information on his brother in the dick.

Mayhaps they changed that in the meantime? OH well fuck it I'd never meant to spend that much time arguing over such a niggling detail anyway. I'm good to either leave it as is or throw on a random additional background that has what I want. Lets say Martial - Scion of A Legend Since his father was a famed pugilist.


Also if we want to use acrobatics to help break a fall do we just put it in the post afterwards? Or now that I look closer did you already go ahead and do it for me?

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

Is the massive area of black to the right of the map a subtle hint as to which way we should be heading?

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

I'm still taking Windsoul, and I'm taking Firepulse Master feat.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So yeah maybe Wvlf should take care of that door. If he fucks up his arcana check to do it I'm more that happy to smash it down with my head but I suspect there'll be an extended rest in our immediate future if we go that route.

How ya doing, buddy?

At least an unfortunate typo on my part has led to us gaining another companion, although if you count Murray and Howard there are now seven of us so Furious Five is a less relevant name.

FELIPE NO

I'm bored of being paranoid and I have a load of healing surges left, I'm picking the damn thing up.

Additional Spam:
Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, I'm going to Turkey for a week from Sunday morning and I very much doubt the hotel we're going to will have internet access so can someone look after Beefi for a week from Sunday please? Don't forget if any fights start he's a pacifist...

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

I'm guessing that as you didn't let me keep a ring that was a couple of levels too powerful for us, you're not going to let me keep the mace either so I won't bother asking what all the encounter and daily powers it has actually do.

Most amazing jew boots

Oh you can keep it. Until it turns on you.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
