Hmm, reading back over my posts, they look more bellicose than I intended. Treat the bolded words as merely italicized, please - I just can't double-italic telepathic speech. Well, I can unitalicize the emphasized words, but that looks silly to me.

Oh, here's where the "Taala's last words to us" bit comes from. Well, I feel justified calling it stealing. :D I think we should carry on the naming discussion in the actual game thread, though, since obviously we can't decide on anything here without doing it over there anyway.

Lupaz is clearly anxious to get on to the portion of this discussion where we make plans for our future activities, and he inclines his head slightly as he responds. Well, word-parsing aside, as long as we can lie about the name of the ship to certain interested parties I suppose I don't really...

Lupaz opens his jaws in a vaguely mocking gesture before lying down on the terra-cotta surface of the island-ship. Correction - we have stolen and are hiding the regalia for naming a new king. We have no current candidates for the job, and we have no good sense of who our allies are and who...

Lupaz trots over from where he had been gazing out over the sea, panting gently. The assembled company hears a telepathic whisper at the back of their minds as he "speaks," but a dour, head-shaking "harrumph" makes the dog's views on the importance of this debate clear. I would recommend we...

Uhm, I'm ready to go. Did I miss anything? Is anyone out there? :)

Isida - I should be ready tomorrow if you want to start then. I'm still trying to decide on one last feat, and I need to write up my equipment sources, but I can finish that by tomorrow evening without too much trouble, I think.

Exactly why I just prefer to make them a non-issue. People spend however much gold on them and then they can forget about them. Perhaps some kind of limit on gp expenditure would be a good idea, though, to encourage picking up the fun items. Like only half of your gold can be vanilla stat...

I just let people spend their gold on inherent (not Inherent) Enhancement and Resistance and whatnot bonuses. Can't be taken away and isn't tied to an item - represents some special event occurring to them or a costly training regimen or a magical ceremony or an in-game reward or something. I...

Eh, it probably would be at higher level, but with a character who has only 2 attacks/round and no spells that are hugely better than his melee attack, I don't see the problem. Looks fine to me for this game.

Use Courser, then. That's Courser, not Curser, I spelled it correctly in the earlier post (it looked like you misread it). It's a name for a dog that hunts by sight, so at least it's a "job title." A Hound is a type of breed as much as it is a canine occupation, and Courser is more specific...

Huh, didn't know that (don't own the book). That's too bad, I rather liked the tension of having a basically innocent character using alarmingly non-innocent items. And I guess Oobobooboo isn't smart enough to accidentally-on-purpose spill the beans about the items. Actually, he wasn't even...

I thought I had pretty good suggestions for an occupational name. I basically hunt people down in one of a variety of ways and harry them with curses, spells, and skills until they do themselves in. A sort of manipulator, though of fate, not people. Huh, I was under the impression that...

Bront - I should mention, sometimes Lupaz *is* a doomsayer, but it's just for dramatic effect, part of Intimidate and Daunting Presence use rather than a regular part of his character.

Not a doomsayer, just someone who never looks surprised when something terrible happens. I'm a fatalist, not a prophet. And I didn't realize you were following standard darfellan practice with the naming conventions. Still, "Hound" is terribly unspecific, kinda like nicknaming someone "You...

My rule of thumb is that if I wouldn't have to ask the DM about it and it's up the character's alley, I can call it "common knowledge" for that character. A little metagamey, but since many or even most characters have *no* formal knowledge skills, kinda necessary. In this case, I don't intend...

Oh, I should mention - I plan to change my "reactions shots" once I see if anyone else would like me to. Just not yet. :)

It was mostly the way you phrased it. I realize Nissa's a better debater than Lupaz, but the way you phrased it made me think you thought she also knew a whole lot more about this particular sub-sub-Knowledge skill than Lupaz, which isn't the case, at least not in an RP sense.

Heh, it was meant as a joke. And we've already traded like a half-dozen posts regarding whether or not Nissa would have to be careful not to, quote, "blow me out of the water," end quote, so we were already kinda doing it. And nobody can properly express tone through the internet. Better...

And as long as we're playing oneupmanship, I'd like to point out that I've served the weirds obsessively for a decade precisely so I can plumb the very depths of their knowledge on matters of fate and destiny. My council of weirds beats your one time elemental. :D
