    [hivemind] hive or dive?

    Those 105 post are from before my hiatus. I used to be a very regular poster until some months ago. In fact I've been a member of ENW in its various former incarnations since just before 3e came out in 2000. Indeed, I'm the one who introduced Morbidity to EN World, before she cruelly left me...

    [hivemind] hive or dive?

    My first Hivemind post Ok, ok. I give in. I'm starting to get interested in RPGs again after a significant hiatus (it must be teh all the 3.5 news) and Morbidity keeps telling me how much fun this place is so I thought I'd give in to the madness .. ahem ... join the fun. :wink: So, hello Hive!

    The Scattered Ones

    Round 1: Neblin casts his shield spell and sets it facing ahead of him. He then moves towards the sounds of trouble (single move). [Note that mage armour is still up.] Round 2: Neblin moves towards the sounds of trouble. As soon as he sees the creature he recognises it and yells, "Earth...

    The Scattered Ones

    Neblin, having become bored with his scroll on child support legis, ahem, architecture, - and remembering the old injunction against splitting teh [party - began wondering towards the staircase when he heard at least one of the noises from below. Listen checks: 15+8=23 8+8+16 2+8=10 20+8=28...

    Neblin shrugs, agrees to Amylaris's suggestion and moves to guard the front door.

    Neblin's move Neblin moves to G4 [5' step] and re-aligns his shield to face the Imp [free action] while firing his wand of magic missiles twice at the Imp [standard action and hasted partial action; damage is 13+15=28].

    All OOC and rules stuff First, Neblin's Fort save is 20 [= 14 (roll)+1(base save)+3(Con)+2(Namfoodle's spell)]. Second, unless the Imp is invisible, Neblin should automaticaly see it when it attacks him. I suspect anyone who has line of sight on the imp when it attacks should also...

    Neblin delays until someone casts light, then performs the actions previously detailed.

    Neblin's action Neblin has "cases' too, sorry! CASE1: Neblin [at (G5)] can see the wererat at (I7), despite Seebor being in his way, sufficiently to use his wand of magic missiles and the wererat survices Neblin's first magic missile burst Neblin calmly aims around the bobbing and weaving...

    Rules quibble Two weapon fighting can only be done as a full round action. If you've moved in the round (with the exception of a single 5' step), you can only attack once. Note this also applies if you have multiple iterative attacks from having a BAB greater than +5. You only ever get one...

    HRMPH! Ok. Neblin's modified actions as a consequence of the House Rule re Haste: Round 1: Neblin puts his scroll away [move equivalent] and casts haste [standard action] and draws his wand [quick draw feat free action]. Round 2 (Haste takes effect): Neblin moves to where he said he would...

    The Scattered Ones

    Neblin [Note that with Haste (+4 dodge) and Shield (+7 cover), Neblin's AC is now 28 (21 without the shield; 15 without dex or dodge bonuses)] In his *hasted* chipmunk style falsetto, Neblin chirps out an arcane phrase and four sizzling bolts of purple light burst out from the wand in his...

    Sneak attacks against Runor OOC: I assume Runor is currently denied his Dex bonus? If so, I don't think we need to flank him to get sneak attacks. In fact, so long as we're within 30 feet of him, I think we can sneak attack him with missile weapons. Am I right?

    Neblin's initative [Note, Neblin has had Mage Armor up since the party entered the tower.] Neblin, who has been lost to the world in his scroll up to this point, suddenly explodes into action. Returniung the scroll in his hand (a fascinating essay by an ancient architect, artist and inventor...

    The Scattered Ones

    Yes, I'm here... Neblin, who has been lost to the world in his balsted scroll up to this point, is standing pretty much with the majority of the party. When the action starts, he *literally* explodes into action. [Iniative = 26 = 19 (roll) + 7] (I love this die!) On his action (if he can...

    Neblin Kneebreaker Just as you are about to leave, the gruff dwarven soldier you saw earlier ushers a gnome into the room and says, "I've found you're fifth adventurer Hoignar. I filled him in on the walk from the gate. Says he'll do it." The gnome ushered in by the soldier could not be a...

    What if the Roman Empire remained?

    The Roman empire fell in 1453 Provocative headline, I know. The point I want to make is that the Roman empire did last for a very long time. The Emperor Constantine XI who died at the fall of Constantinople to the Muslim Turks in 1453 stands at the end of a line that begins with Augustus (or...

    what ability do you want- IRL?

    While I much prefer to play d20, one thing I liked about the White Wolf StoryTeller system for the Vampire: The Masquarade system was the incredibly real world *usefulness* of the social disciplines that vambires got. Take a look (my specualtion as to DnD equivalents in brackets): PRESENCE...

    OT - VOTE!!! - (US Citizens)

    Hmmm, my inpression is that preferential voting proportional representation create a less extreame form of governemnt, at least in places like Australia and Germany. In Australia, becasause minor parties control the balance of power in the Senate, there is a kind of moderating effect - the...
