Bipper Hammergleam, half-orc alchemist 1 Bipper nods. "A name, a location, or both, and we can begin chasing this trail. Unless there are other things that need discussing first, of course." Best skills: Intimidate/Arcana +8, Diplomacy/UMD +6, Disable Device/Sleight of Hand +5 Looks like...

I don't know why you would use a crossbow - you can use the first feature of the AT to get a longbow. Unless you're one of those longsword / greatsword types, then I guess you might only be toting the crossbow as backup weapon. But if you're using a backup weapon that you're not focusing on in...

I'd like to condone Roll20, but I've just had a tiny bit too much trouble with it. I think the problem might be that it's Flash-based - it can be very laggy, and players occasionally disconnect for no reason. There are also some random bugs I've run into, but meh, it's a beta. So I'll say this...

Good call. Edited post!

I started writing a long-ass thing but realized I was really overdoing it. Let's go with the venerable bulleted list to get the main talking points out there and then, if it's actually necessary, we can discuss further. Grenadier is one of the most basic, vanilla ATs available for Alchemists...

Not really LPF related, but I have some general PbP questions. How many games can someone safely participate in at once? I'm pretty sure I can handle at least 2, but wonder whether it's a bad idea to get into 3 or 4. I can post from work, so time is not a big issue. I'm of course going to...

UoL reduces the tendency of 4e combat to have a giant alpha strike on round 1 followed by tedium, so I really, really like it! You don't have a free use of the power on t1, so the players don't have to sigh and watch the inevitable alpha strike happen to them. You don't use the power on t1...

I really like the existing time-based xp. If you choose to "stop and smell the flowers" via roleplaying, or even just suffer from delays of game, you don't have to fight off the feeling of impatience from not getting any exp. Not having played, I can't speak to whether the flow of time-based xp...

Hello! I ran a big Eberron campaign in 3.5 way back in the day and I'm starting to miss this setting. Eberron and Dark Sun are the only breaks I've had from "Generic Fantasy" (Faerun, Points of Light, Greyhawk, etc) and I enjoy that greatly. I would like to try playing with you guys, if there's...

Thanks! Trimmed up the class feature descriptions. Fixed my background to refer to alchemy, not sorcery. I did not turn the text orange, it appears to have done so automatically when I made it bold. But science deserves to be bold, orange, and exciting, so I'm ok with it.

Bipper only has to glance at the paper to see it's the sort of study he was supposed to have been paying attention to in college, but didn't. Afraid code riddles aren't my forte, so I hope your wizard friend has this under control, he said,watching the way Thuvian's eyes scrutinized the page...

Nah, I've held up the game long enough, I just wanna get started. If it doesn't pan out in play that's what the single forgiveness rule is for - but I have to actually play to find that out! :)

Done now? For reals?

Very, very cool, and thank you. I'll make a proposal, yeah. It's a pretty neat archetype. It's a complicated month - I'm in the middle of a lot of things, which is not helping my patience. Things I'm optimizing or dealing with: switching from verizon to either virgin or boost, picking out a...

Is he okay as-is? Grenadier is cool for bomberman style play, but is from a non-allowed book, right?

Will ram spoons into my eyes, hopefully hard enough to reach my brain - er, I mean "type him into the wiki", if/when there are no issues with him. Refer to the bard version of his character sheet for most weapon statistics, carrying capacity, and other minutiae.

I figured with Charm Person, as long as I get one guy with it, I have a "friendly" NPC for an hour - or "helpful" if I can hit the needed Diplomacy check. What other first level spell covers your combat needs for an hour straight? That was my plan for stretching my spells out and not needing to...

Fixed!

Aw, crap. Er, thanks... I will be sure to use all that if/when I switch characters! :blush: I, uh... got hit hard with analysis paralysis. I do it all the time as it is, but it's even worse with the knowledge that almost everything is set in stone once my character is finished/approved. I am...

I keep reading this article title and thinking it's about the PbP community, lol.
