Clutches of Evil - OOC Thread

Daz - Barak has it right. You can either roll 'em yourself or take the safe way out and to 75% of max (with the first die maxed as usual). I will never argue a character who uses the 75% of max rule, so if you are looking for a safe, easy, and secure method that is what I suggest. I'll check over the character in a few hours when I have more time.

Barak - I'll assume Gav is bright enough to find pieces of useable metal out on the street for free. I'll give him a -2 circumstance bonus with them.

Daz - I checked over the sheet and I have two corrections (1 in your favor and one not) and a "metagaming" question for you. The first correction is on the swim skill. I believe the swim skill gets a double armor check penalty and thus your overall modifier should be lower. The second correction - don't forget that the damage done with a 2-handed weapon is 1.5 times STR mod. So, your damage with the greatsword should be higher, I believe. And now, the metagaming question. If you are going to carry around 3 weapons, why the batleaxe instead of a morningstar? The battleaxe gives you slashing damage - something your greatsword already gives you but at a much higher rate. If you picked up a morningstar, you would get the same damage, but it would be piercing and blugeoning ... thus giving you the ability to do all three types of damage. Granted, the crit mod is lower for the morningstar. Like I said, this is purely a metagaming question - not meant to make you change anything.

Thanks Lethal, I always forget about both of those mods.

I just like the axe man

Oh, and I went the 75% HP option, I've got a low AC and will need everyone of them

I hear ya. I currently run a TWF human ranger who fights with two handaxes (both light and by using the same weapon the WF feat applies to both) has a battleaxe just for show that he straps to his leg but really seldom uses, and has 2 throwing axes for when he can't close in melee. I like the axes, too.

75% option is always good. Thanks for the updates.

On using Pwent in the ruse: I don't think it matters. If we get to the point where one of the big guys is supposed to go off, we're just making a show of it to distract everyone; no real intent to intimidate money out of the merchant, I don't believe.

I suppose our various Bluff bonuses might come into play, though, now that I think of it. Whether Pwent or Bahruul seem to be faking their ourtrage or not, I think the logic is just "Really big man making a scene" will draw people's attention away from our little thieves.

Who knows, we might walk into the bar and the merchant will happily hand over loads of cash 'cause we're all so clearly noble in our quest to find the thieves.

What? It could totally happen.
