Time to work

Zub Zub...

I will 10 -15 minutes late to the game tonight. I have to feed my dogs before I come :) See everyone tonight.

Caroline--Thank you very much. You have helped to inspire me.

".....The night is dark and stormy. Rain patters off the windows of the old and creaky mansion. You hear a loud thumping sound approaching the oaken front door. Boom Boom Boom. The door bursts open, to reveal the horror. A nine foot tall bipedal squid head cow!..."

Wow that would be *udderly* shocking! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......


I hope that everyone is having a great day!

Moop.

Good morning everyone!

Hey Leon- Just looking through the figs released in the last few months. Reaper has a few new-ish figs in the Dark Haven line to add to your short list of "Unarmed Male" figures that might work for a monk.

Okay, so ... one. The other two are just more suggestions for possible easy edits...

This one is actually unarmed, so long as you don't mind looking like Ken from Street Fighter:

This would be a damned easy edit if you don't like the staff. Just take the entire weapon hand off, and replace it with a new hand:

I don't know. I had two characters in mind, and I can't afford the ECL on either of them at this level. So I guess I try something else. Ill probably end up digging through my unpainted minis and making a character based on that...

Second level? *grumble* So is everyone going to play the same stuff? Just asking, I'm not sure what I want to play now. After making my carefully crafted spell casters last week 2nd level may be too much of a "let down".

Dustin--So I guess a rabid crotch attacking bunny isn't allowed as a pc?

The third level spell flame arrow can effect one arrow per level, adds half the caster level as fire damage, and it lasts only one round (yes, it's utter ass, the 3.5 version is actually better, one of the very few times this occurs (50 arrows, +1d6 fire damage, 10 minutes per level)). So a second level spell should be weaker than whatever version of flame arrow we decide is official, something to keep in mind. The 1d8 (+1/level) 10 minutes per level single arrow version seems ok to me. Bit more power in one shot, but nowhere near the damage potential of the 3.5 version. (I really dislike the original version and consider it quite telling that NOBODY has ever used it in any game I've been in)

Try a minute a level, plus the nerf we already have in place that makes it 1d8+Caster Level, and it's a reasonable second level spell.

Second level... hmn. Dustin, is anything from Oriental Adventures OK for this run through?

Ok, second level, I'm going to be making it up as I go, but I will be planning out the encounters. The party hasn't been out of their home area before. If there is a cleric, you run the church, the church in town is a 30' by 30' slate topped rough red brick building. This is a rather poor town. If there is a wizard in the party, you run the wizards tower, all fighters work for the town guard. I would ask you to keep to the more respectfully medium sized humanoid races. Start with second level starting gold. Any questions let me know through email (dmellott2001atyahoodotcom).

Dustin--Can you make it 2nd or 3rd level, so our characters don't fall over quite as easily? (If you start at 1st level, then you need to use a wizard NPC so you can learn how to play them. :P) Are you giving us any world/setup info before game?

John--The main way I can think of to "fix" the arrow spell is to change the duration to a day.

Ummmm... guys, please dont get mad and not play, but I really would like to start the game at 1st lvl.

Shatz- When EQ2 releases a trial period, or an "invite a friend" key, lemmie know. I got bit buying Saga of Ryzom before I got to play a trial, and I can't stand that damned game.

Dustin--Hey I used mostly the PHB to make my characters. I did use some stuff (mostly spells) from Tome of Blood, Quintisential Mage, Relics and Rituals I, and Relics and Rituals II. Is that okay? Oh yeah I didn't take that broken ass arrow spell so don't sweat that. Though it would be nice if we could fix it..........please? Did you have any rules for how much of our starting gold we can spend on a single magic item? I blew most of my cash on a ring of wizardy I. Also I took the Leadership feat to provide myself with a loyal cohort to protect my weak ass. A good stiff wind will knock me over.

So I made a Wizard and a Sorcerer. I haven't decided which to play yet. I like the Wizard's flexibility on spells, but damn can the sorcerer cast an assload of spells per day (especially with the ring of Wizardry!).

So what is everyone else playing?

Jeremy--So far Everquest II is pretty cool. I dig it very much.

All--I'm playing Everquest II. If you pick up the game look for Trogdore on the Befallen server. Oh yeah I'm evil, so look for me with the bad guys :)

dang. I really haven't checked the blog in almost two weeks. oops!


Whooping cough? Well, it does make a certain weird ammount of sense.

Dustin--I love you too, but not in that biblical way you cock smoker. :)

See everyone tonight. I think I shall torture Dustin for a change......... well I guess not that much of one.
