In the same move as his dodge forward, Jorran used his momentum to make a powerful two-handed chop. (OOC: Attack)

I'm a guy, and you can sum up my play style in a single sentance... I like to be a Good Guy who maims the Bad Guys with pointy, sharp, or heavy objects. In the past, I tried playing a bard, and it just doesn't work. I prefer being a primary doer and helping the party by causing a net loss in...

In a now defunct campaign, I took Quick Draw for a very specific tactic... First of all, my character was a pirate captain with a blunderbuss...which he always kept loaded between fights. He had pretty high dex, and I took Improved Initiative... Combined with a high spot/listen skill, most...

According to the book, all the 'disarmee' gets if the disarmer fails is to make another opposed check to see if the original disarmer gets disarmed. And, by the look of it, Jorran didn't fail the second opposed roll.

In my last campaign, the PCs were just cogs in a larger machine. It was sort of...meh. In my new campaign, I've gotten them onto the path towards being in charge of one piece of what's currently a contiguous (but soon to be factionalized) kingdom...and all of the factions will be forced to make...

Holding his saber--its blade still locked with Kal's--in both hands, Jorran quickly stepped forward and used his full height and strength to bear down on Kal's saber. (OOC: Disarm attempt, saber in two hands, +8 mod for opposed roll (+4 BAB, +2 Str, +2 for using the saber two-handed))

After making his salute, Jorran took a step forward, making a quick jab with his white blade. (OOC: Plain old attack)

Jorran nodded, and made his next attack a bit more creative. He continued exchanging attacks with Arias, recieving many blows that would have been fatal in real combat, and listened to the master's advice with each 'death' he suffered.

"Well, the only real rules I can remember are these; the fight is over if either of us (me, probably) is injured, or if either of us (again, probably me) has had enough. Common courtesy, right?" (assuming Arias agrees) Jorran made the first move; a simple diagonal slash, neither overly...

Jorran pulled his own saber from his belt--by hand--and ignited it. "It's been a while," he said, whirling the blade around in a simple flourish. He proceeded to put his left foot forward and hold his saber in a high, attack-oriented stance. "I take it you--errr, we--Sethi follow the...

Oh, yeah, Jorran is 41. He looks kinda-sorta like Aragorn (as you can see in my avatar), but with a stronger jawline, more beard, and his hair is in a ponytail most of the time. Oh, and more grey hairs in with the brown.

1. Purposefully ended Explorer.exe in the task manager, and then deleted adware manually through the command prompt. 2. Accidently cut the phone line to the house...with a sword. 3. Took (and am taking) college classes...for free...as part of my senior year of high school. 4. Out-grew my dad...

I didn't even notice that section before... You see, I used a friend's copy to steal some Heroic Paths for the PCs to use, but I didn't really ever look though the whole book... Anyway, I looked at the herbalism section, and it should work perfectly, and as for alchemy, I think Shaman Boy can...

Well, within the central regions of my setting, there are three 'racial' groups of humans; Ennorians, a subset of them known as 'Arnaic Stock', and the Tyrnians. Ennorians are generally brown-haired, and have relatively fair skin (the 'Arnaic Stock' is just taller than average). The Tyrnians are...

I voted for 'Mostly Real' Generally speaking, everything in my world works just the way it would if real 'earthican' people were in the same situation. To be fair, however, that situation is one in which magic is rare, dangerous to the user, and unreliable...which makes things a lot easier...

Well, one has to wonder about the Age Category of the bread... If it's a Venerable Baguette that the sandwich was made from, I'd allow it to do 1 point of lethal damage. Heck, I even had a friend who cut his hand on the crust of some bread like that. Therefore, I'd have to say that a ham...

Hmm, I've been looking at the various stuff people have suggested so far... And I realized that I could have been more clear when I said 'non-magical'. What I meant is that I'm looking for alchemy/herbalism rules that don't hinge on the caster being a spellcaster.

I think I'm going to have to bail; my school stuff is really piling up, and I don't have time for _another_ PBP game. I hope the game goes well without me, though!

But gold has a high melting point. Otherwise, it's relatively similar... I think part of the reason it's used for radiation shielding is that it won't corrode when it gets exposed to hot water/causic chemicals that commonly go along with radioactive stuff...not to mention the fact that it's...

It's so embarassing...but this is how it happened... Everquest-->Baldur's Gate-->D&D 2e Boxed Set (the one with the 'dragon steals the holy simbol from the church' adventure)-->3e when it came out Yep, so, computer games really started things for me. Basically, I (for various reasons) quit...
