Just a quick note that Greppa may not have time for an update until around Thursday or so.

Marius: Maybe ;). Characters will be revealed, if y'all don't vote it down, at the end of the game. Bad odds survivors: Points added in. I'll convert the points to the new system if y'all like it. Initiative: As before, individual players know if their initiative is altered, but otherwise it...

The closer to Wednesday morning, the better for me. I should have at least two hours Wednesday night, but if I can have it tickling the back of my brain during the day, that's better. I don't mind doing Wednesday night - next week would just be better for me. Since there's two preferences for...

Because I can't read my own writing ;). Corrected.

That reminds me, I might as well make sure everyone understands the effects the wind might have. Basically, at 20 mph or less, there is no game effect. At higher wind speeds, missile weapons become increasingly difficult to use (impossible at 51+ mph), creatures begin to be knocked down or blown...

I can't go tonight or tomorrow, due to prior committments... and things don't look good for the remainder of the week (weekend included, when Austin is descended upon by relatives), either. About the best I can offer is Wednesday night, and I won't have a lot of time for my entry even then. If...

Posted the Gods' commentary. Editted points into the first post of this thread, both for round 1 and 2. There were a few corrections: I didn't notice a diddling character last time through, and I miscounted the kill on Xiao Hu. I also think I'm going to tweak the points slightly, so that I...

You have my best wishes and prayers.

Hokey-dokey, here's the corrections as I have them, all related to Blaster's assault on Marius ;). 1) Marius DID get an AoO on Blaster. Reapersaurus reminded me* that Blaster was not using an improved grab (Marius is not small enough). He missed, but I should have caught that. Too many of y'all...

Re: Newly transformed heroes: I'm working on an update for the Rogue's Gallery thread. It will include the supa-wish effects, although they can primarily be translated as a +3 ECL, so that I can throw really nasty stuff like ... well, I'll leave any spoilers to Greppa. Re: Climbing mountains...

At the very least, I would tell you that you made a Will save, what the roll was, and that you succeeded. I would not tell the other gladiators unless there was something visible going on. This is still under vote, however, for natural d20 rolls.

Incidentally, some notes on Uggrahd itself. I wanted a really big mountain, so I made it a flat 10 miles high, with the first three miles being the usual 30-60 degree slopes a person might expect to see, and the remainder sloping sharply upward into something closer to an approximation of a...

Well, Greppa can still look surprised ;). You asked me to write about the time up on the mountain, because you weren't going to, and you didn't mention keeping anything mum.

GoD stands for "Game of Death", which is an online grand melee to the death between characters. If you want the reasonably extensive rulings I put together for my GoD, you can check 'em out here. I tried to be thorough, and still missed a lot of stuff :). Not all death match-style games will...

As will be seen soon enough, many gods are involved. The Bukkenahk ancestors (influenced by Xeras), Hethas (whose game plan is still unknown), Belial and whoever his "crew" is, Allas... And can anyone truly believe that Dianas has no interest in the outcome of her chosen city-state? Or that the...

I could base cohort diddling around the same ratio as I did cohort kills. That would put it at 1/3rd point per round a cohort diddles. That way: Cost of cohort death = 1/3 cost of PC death Cost of cohort diddle = 1/3 cost of PC diddle Does that sound like a good compromise? If so, I need to...

Yair, I'd guess it depends on how you handle elementals and subdual damage? As for the large room: How big? A huge elemental covers a 25 ft by 20 ft rectangular area, and another 20-25 ft high. With a 40 ft charge, it could quite effectively defend a room that is up to 45 ft by 40 ft. Of...

My experience with earth elementals is that how deadly they are depends entirely on whether or not the PCs have room to maneuver. If they can maneuver, they can outrun and outfly the earth elemental. The elf can plug it with arrows while everyone else sips martinis and gambles on how many shots...

By the way, I just wanted to compliment everyone who has taken hard hits in the last two rounds. I know that some careful planning was completely torn apart for several of you, and there have been a lot of deaths and lost resources... And y'all have been perfectly sportsmanly about it. This is...

Side note: This setting haiku thread caught my eye :). Here's my haiku: Above or below? Gods war with mortal nations, Light Against the Dark. Heh :).
