I don't typically blow an entire wad in a single round. I like to save Low Slash for when I miss with my standard action, so I can still get my sneak attack damage in for the round. At 7th level, I was usually doing 1d4+5+2d8+3, for about 20 points of damage in a typical round. Occasional...

Also for your perusal, here's what Cobalt's character sheet looks like at 8th level: Cobalt Cartwright, Rogue I'll be encouraging the other players to update the wiki with their own 8th-level sheets.

A note about "confirmation bias" and self-responding polls like this. People are much more likely to respond to a self-reporting poll when they have strong, and especially strongly negative, feelings about the subject of the poll. In other words, given a poll with a subject of "Grind,"...

Yup. During the two rounds I was dazed, some power from another party member was causing the bad guy to grant combat advantage to everyone, so I didn't need to flank. Good thing to remember, though.

Run #35 was a couple of nights ago. Here are some thoughts, which Piratecat and others should feel free to augment and/or correct: Plot-wise, we had just succeeded in opening one gate out of the soon-to-be-destroyed city. (You may recall that the rebellious and cowardly Duke Torden had...

Greetings, ENWorlders! I am playing a Human Brawny Rogue in Piratecat's Capria campaign, and am looking for thoughts and opinions on feats. The rogue in question uses a dagger exclusively and will be taking the Daggermaster Paragon Path, if he lives that long. My character just hit 8th...

I guess I'd better slow down, then. ;) (In all likelihood they will slow down; I've had more free time than usual the past week or so, but the upcoming week or two will be on the busy side.) Regarding Ernie discovery of Tava's Righteous Fury, I call the reader's attention to the halfling's...

Sagiro’s Story Hour, Part 310 Holy Jelly! Eddings greets the Company upon their return to the Greenhouse. “Welcome back. I trust your journeys were exciting as always?” Dranko rolls down his sleeve. “Look at this!” “It's your arm,” Eddings observes. “But no scars!” “Ah. Had that cleaned...

A short but eventful update. :devil: Sagiro’s Story Hour, Part 309 Maybe Not the Destiny He Would Have Chosen After the Company has left the Feline Conclave behind, winding their way down the misty forest path until they emerge into trackless forest, Aravis shares Inkspot's private opinions...

The cat was named by a small child in Djaw who loved the sport of Farangi (Sport of Emperors, played by his parents), but who hadn't yet learned to pronounce it properly. Thus, "Frungycat." And, yeah, I totally cribbed it from Star Control 2, the greatest video game ever made.

Sagiro’s Story Hour, Part 308 How to Ruin a Rat's Day By now the Company packs a collective destructive force that rivals almost anything Abernia has to offer. When that force is unleashed on unsuspecting victims – look out. They appear hovering in the air, not wishing to stand upon the...

Sagiro’s Story Hour, Part 307 Dream of a Black Rat Morningstar shakes her head. “Weird, weird, weird.” “He didn't seem like that bad a guy,” says Aravis. “He cut my husband!” “Yeah,” says Flicker. “But it sounds like he deserved it some of the time!” Morningstar turns and glares at...

Yes. Yes I will. Last night was run #34 of the campaign. All PC's are 7th level. A quick reminder/rundown of the party composition: Caldwell: Human Two-Blade Ranger (Striker) Logan : Human Shadowy Rogue (Striker) Cobalt: Human Brawny Rogue (Striker) Gilran: Odassian Elf Chaos Sorcerer...

You -- and anyone else -- should feel free to steal anything you want from my story! Speaking of which, here's the next installment. It's pretty action-free, I'm afraid. Sagiro’s Story Hour, Part 306 My Dinner with Califax Kibilhathur wakes early the next morning, checks on the progress of...

Over the course of that battle, Bramble: - used both of her uses of Healing Spirit on herself - gave herself the 10 HP you get by "burning" your Spirit of the Healing Flood - healed 10 points from a healing potion - used her second wind to regain 15 hit points - was the recipient of Cobalt's...

This was our 31st run of the campaign; the tactical notes will be short, as there was no combat. This was also our first session that saw significant and improvisational use of rituals. Okay, it was only three, but Rituals have been an underused system for us thus far, despite the fact that...

Bostock does talk to Grey Wolf from time to time, but typically in throw-away contexts that don't make for good Story Hour content. I have learned that the only way I'm ever going to get this thing written is to leave out a bunch of the extraneous, not-story-advancing dialogue. I admit to...

Sagiro’s Story Hour, Part 305 Communiques Dranko opens his mouth to make an additional snarky comment about Mokad, but finds that no sound issues from his lips. Tomnic mouths: “what?” but his voice is also silent. All of the Company look at one another in great alarm, as each tries and...

Just curious -- what about this: Cunning Sneak: If you end a move action at least 3 squares away from your starting position, you can make a Stealth check to become hidden if you have any concealment or any cover, except for cover provided by intervening allies. ...makes you say "once you...

This was run #29 of the campaign: “Return to the Beholder's Lair” I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of stuff as usual; Aravis, if you're reading this, I'd love for you to chime in with your initial impressions of playing the sorcerer, along with what powers you were using. Tactical notes: We...
