[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

Cool, I'll stat something up then and figure out a way to post the character sheet. Don't really mind the limitations of the race too much, as their one power seems interesting enough, and feats aren't all that hot in 4e anyhow. Plus, whenever the Eberron book for 4e comes out they'll probably get some treatment.

Edit: Actually, not sure if I'm supposed to do that. Is it intended that you stat and make all characters?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Actually, it's not a good idea to go ahead and create a character just yet. It'll be awhile before they get to us.

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

True, and good point. Even with a full TPK they are still three full groups from me. With the way the Horde's been playing, could be Epic by the time that rolls around.

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

No, I just volunteer to do it if the player is too lazy to bother.

Which most of them are.

I was speaking idiomatically.

fuckin' sharks smelling blood in the water

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Considering its down to only one KO now (who's stable), I won't be surprised if the Horde somehow scrapes out of this without losing a single person.

FELIPE NO

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

Welp, that's that then.

Might want to edit your move, knk, what with having a small invalid-target situation.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

How do I have an invalid target? I still have an Inspiring Word left this encounter, and Brigid is within burst 5, and I'm not doing anything else.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes, but Brigid's turn comes before Soggys, see, and she is therefore dead which, expectedly, makes it quite impossible to Inspire her.

I was waiting to see if Deni decided to Divine-Mettle her and maybe save her that way, but alas no.

Well, shit.

I guess I'm healing Bob then.

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

Well fuck, she'll never let me hear the end of this.

Can I alter my choice?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah if you wanna go ahead and edit, fine. If she ends up living, I'll just use knk's original instruction to heal her afterward.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

done and done. Thanks Cap'n.

FELIPE NO

<3

So what are my options at this point? Do I need to dwarven chainmail myself before the start of my next turn so I don't die again?

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

Yeah, the chainmail's a free action so you can trigger that just as soon as knk wakes you up.

Edit: wait, no. Still dead. Needed a 7 or better

Jam it back in, in the dark.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Classy.

One of my rituals talks about prepping corpses so that Raise Dead can still work on them for long periods of time. Which says to me that dead people can be brought back. What's that all about?

I was speaking idiomatically.

It requires a higher level ritual magic, namely the Raise Dead ritual. Level 9 if I remember? You might be able to get someone to cast it for you, although in this edition its kind of expensive until you get to the level where you're supposed to use it, because all the costs are exponential.

Edit: Level 8 actually. Description on page 311 of the Player's Handbook. Market price is 680 gp.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, I'm pretty sure you can drag a dead companion to your local witchdoctor to bring them back to life minus a level down of experience and some major gp. However, based on how this game is being run it's possible Pang won't allow this. Plus you have to see-saw whether you want a new character with levels matching the groups or lost time/lost gp/lost exp/plus dragging a body around. But no matter since Pang has zapped Brigid out of there. On to the next crawler.

FELIPE NO

Oh, so he did. I thought the flash of light was just flourish. Nevermind then.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah, it costs nearly 700 GP, and I don't think the Horde has that much to spare offhand.

Also it requires the body which I have pointedly removed for reasons of let-somebody-else-play-it's-nothing-personal.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That does bring up a good point. What is the policy on raising dead within this game? As at some point, it would become trivial for parties to go back and raise all of their members, which implies that unless there is a TPK, there will be no rotation. Which is fine, others should just plan on that if its the case.

Also, from the Player's Handbook:

Quote:

The subject returns with a death penalty: –1 to all attack rolls, skill checks, saving throws, and ability checks. This death penalty fades after the subject reaches three milestones.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
