    World at war IC

    Jaceth notes the underwhelming enthusiasm for becoming cook among the others and sighs under his breath as he stirs the fire and starts propping up steaks on stakes over the coals.

    World at war IC

    Jaceth has hung the boar from a tree by it's remaining hind leg and gutted the beast, then let it drain of blood. Asirra's gnawing and greasing a section of ground with the bits of chewed bone from the hind leg she got. "Okay folks. . . we have boar and we have berries here. I can toast the...

    Forgotten Heroes IC

    Skitha pats Seifer on the head lightly. At his inquiring look she responds: "I just wanted to see if it was real. Most guys go bald way before they're 2000 years old."

    "Is there any reward for beating him up?"

    "Huh? A knife? Who's got it?"

    Forgotten Heroes - DnD [Back to DnD]

    Yeah, I could buy the half-share notion. But Skitha's not the take charge type so I'll just follow the group in this instance.

    "Yeah, Chester's right. Let's just ask around before we give anybody money. I'll go with whoever wants me around."

    Should the players always win?

    I'd like to chime in that there's different types of "Losses." If the character dies a heroic death facing a mighty wyrm that's going to destroy the city if not stopped, that's okay. If he dies in a kamikaze attack to stop it that's a really good death. If the character rolls a 1 on a saving...

    World at war IC

    Jaceth feels as if he should say something but is uncomfortably aware that he just doesn't know what to add. So he settles for Reining Asirra over to a convinient place to butcher the wild pig for supper.

    Forgotten Heroes IC

    Skitha's superhuman constitution finally gets around to processing the alchohol out of her bloodstream enough that she's able to speak and think intelligibly, if not intelligently. She counts on her fingers a few moments. "A hundred GP? That's enough for. . . for. . . two thousand five hundred...

    Favorite combat tactics? (2nd attempt)

    The "Mount" spell does not have any specifications that the mount must be summoned on the ground. Imagine, if you will, the effects of 1500 pounds of horseflesh materializing ten feet above the enemy's head. . . Others: Enemy in an annoying formation? Try the use-rope skill in conjunction...

    Ability Score Bonuses

    ISTR a few magical items that grant morale bonuses but I'm not sure if they were bonuses to an attribute.

    My weapon is gonna wanna kill me!

    Hmm, what do you have to work with? Is there a reason you can't just toss the morningstar in your bag of holding for the duration? "Sorry Morningstar, I got a message that says I have to go to the meet unarmed for safety reasons. I'll be back in a couple of hours." Do you have a decent Bluff...

    Orcs vs. Commoner Humans

    I appreciate the help people have offered with how to pull off the scenario. That circulade is really an interesting design, I may need to use that later. My own solution was just to beef the Orcs up to level 3 average and give them better weapons. The slaughter went as planned with only one...

    Forgotten Heroes IC

    Skitha has been in the tavern part of the pub already for hours. After a vivid dream in which she realized that the perferct way to build the ultimate spiked chain was to weld together gnomes in spiked full-plate, each holding a normal spiked chain, she awoke with only three hours sleep feeling...

    Orcs vs. Commoner Humans

    Actually I don't assume that, the wimpy dog stats are sufficient to inflict nasty orc penalties. However I direct you to the Monstrous Manual Page 272 under Riding Dogs: "Yhis category includes working breeds such as collies, huskies, and St. Bernards." So it's absolutely certain that these...

    Orcs vs. Commoner Humans

    But your tactics do rely on the Orcs sneaking up (Without any move silently or hide skills) on watchmen who most likely do have the spot and listen skills. And don't forget the village's dogs, which are useful not only for security but jobs like herding and keeping vermin away from the...

    Orcs vs. Commoner Humans

    The Horndog who likes to tryst in the hayloft and doesn't want to get caught. The Poacher who likes to augment his meager diet with deer meat. The Rancher who needs to see and hear predators before they make a meal of his sheep/cows/goats. The Farmer who realizes there's freaking ORCS wandering...

    Orcs vs. Commoner Humans

    I was putting together a low-power game scenario the other day in which a key event would be two dozen orcs (Bog standard ones) attacking and slaughtering (Unless the PC's helped) a villiage of around 50 human commoners. Just one problem, when I ran the numbers I realized the Orcs were going to...

    "I have the strongest connection?" Skitha thinks about this a moment. "Connection to what?"
