[OOC] The Ultimate Dungeon

Camelot · 26th March 2009, 04:31 AM

This is for out of character talk for the Ultimate Dungeon, and I will detail the game stats of items and situations when the need arises.

As for now, roleplay to accustom yourselves with your characters, then begin your excursion. Also, I left the details of what your character looks like up to you, so you may expand on that (I did give you the height and weight, but things like complexion, hair color and style, etc. are for you to decide).

just checking in and reporting for duty!

I would have played the Deva if my minotaur weren't so awsome, i really don't see why all the fuss over that character.

Anyway, GAME ON!! woot.

Reread your post, Sir Osis. Your minotaur is so awesome you don't want to play the Deva. That's pretty much how Ata felt, I think. It's one thing if everyone is equally lame, and something entirely different if you see others rocking out while you struggle to contribute.

Granted, Ata didn't give it a shot, but I can't really hold it against him. The game is about having fun, and if he knew he wasn't going to because he was going to be frustrated by being ineffective, then more power to him for realizing it and avoiding the issue.

I actually meant my character is awsome because i really like minotuars. Honostly, when i make a character i rarely think about the numbers. I just go with what ever concept sticks me as interesting and fun when i'm making my character. I actually really like miss matched race/class combos, it can make things more interesting. Not to say i never try and make optimal characters, i just don't make it a big focus when i'm building my characters.

But everyones differant, and i do think it was good of Ata to be up front about things and do what was best for him by dropping out. It's very cool that he didn't feal the need to stick around a game he wasn't going to like and potently kill some of the fun for the other players.

Very true. If Ata is a power gamer, I completely respect that he wouldn't have fun with that character.

I think there was a shout of interest in playing Seqoka, actually. Problem is, it was late, and without remembering who, I deleted the PM. Oops. Seqoka will indeed be played, but until whoever it was speaks up (I assume they are keeping track of things), I shall be the deva.

The way we will handle combat is you just post your next move when you get the chance, giving conditions if needed (i.e., I'll use this melee attack, unless the monster moves away then I'll use this ranged attack. In this case, you'd make seperate rolls for each attack) and I will tell you the results of your actions in the order that they happen.

Also, I'm sorry about the map, I can't figure out a way to create one with my computer. Does anyone know about an online source I can use (a free one, that is)?

Rathan · 2nd April 2009, 11:47 PM

here's a wonky question.... do I get to attack as well as my bear or do I attack through my bear?.. it's not very clear to me in the rules... can I use an at will with my bear and make a basic melee attack as well I wonder?

nerdytenor · 3rd April 2009, 12:27 AM

The spirit companion uses your standard action to attack, so no, only one of you gets to attack on your turn.

Adding to the confusion, either or both of you can move using only one of your move actions.

Rathan · 3rd April 2009, 12:33 AM

I noticed that part.. they made sure to make that part clear.... so far... definitely not liking shamans that much... then again.. they are a VERY strat based class and we so far have no map to speak of... thus adding to my slight dislike to the class... not to be confused with the character though.. I'm enjoying playing her so far heh.....

Camelot · 3rd April 2009, 01:25 AM

Sorry, I'm working on a workable map!

Shamans normally attack from afar, either through their spirit companion (which can be summoned anywhere in a close burst 20) or with ranged implement powers (which are usually ranged 5). Depending on which powers you have determines how close you tend to get to the melee battle to attack. In this battle, though, you are right next to two hands and your spirit companion. A good strategy is to have your companion next to your allies but far from you; however, the hands will most likely be attracted to attacking your bear, since it seems most dangerous at the time.

Nerdytenor was right in his assumption, but because of the shaman's strategy that I just described, this usually isn't an issue, since you are usually farther away. But this is the Ultimate Dungeon! Nothing is "as usual" here!

Rathan · 3rd April 2009, 04:01 AM

*I* am FULLY aware I shouldn't be any wheres near the 'front line'... my character certainly is not though... this will be a good lesson for her as others will have to come rushing to her aide.... I'm hoping it will generate a bit of party unity as well.. but we shall see how the rp goes.. heh

Camelot · 6th April 2009, 11:36 PM

I'm just waiting for Wil's move, he's next in initiative.

A note to all; if I am feeling impatient, I will take your next most likely move for you for the sake of keeping the game moving. If you want to have done something else, you may change such a move if it's not too late.

Right now I am not feeling impatient, so we'll wait a bit more for Wil.

Lord Sessadore · 7th May 2009, 08:59 PM

Hey folks! Looks like I forgot to drop a line here about my move. So here it is: I'm moving. Which means that for most of the time, I'm away from computers. And then once I get moved, I have to get the internet hooked up, and I'm not sure how long that'll take.

Anyway, I should have time (and internet) later today to post an action for Wil; sorry to keep you all waiting. After that, I'll probably be MIA for at least a few more days. I'll make sure to let you know when I'm back in action.

Camelot · 9th May 2009, 06:27 PM

Thanks for the update, Sessadore!
