    The Nameless Legion: Templar Lance- Mission #1

    Shackler Shackler's eyes widen slightly asSylv introduces herself, then catches himself and gives a friendly nod in reply. After considering the question for a moment he says: "Could be anything. We're somewhat on the light side so far, but apart from that it looks like we have a standard lance...

    The Order of the Stick meets a terrible Foe

    Heh ... I can actually see that happening, a player having '1x Sheet of Lead' on his character sheet for such a reason. Mmhh ... if you have a character sheet made of lead, is your character immune to divination effects? :uhoh:

    The obligatory 1k posts post

    Yeah, it's finally time. Two and a half year of lurking, reading, posting and whatnot have brought me to this critical juncture. 1000 posts ... maybe I should play more PbP, if I'm counting posts. Anyway, many thanks to the people in the SH forum, whose works drew me here to ENWorld - what...

    I was too tired yesterday evening, but I posted now :)

    The Nameless Legion: Templar Lance- Mission #1

    Shackler There's knock at the door and only a moment later it opens. Striding quickly but without haste a man in simple black robes enters the room and closes the door behind him. His face, his bald head and even his hands are so heavily tattoed with swirling designs his skin seems as dark as...

    [July] What are you reading?

    On my last re-read I went like 4-1-5-2-3, but I think I'll try the backwards reading thing next. Of course as I'm giving GotM to my sister and to a friend after that in order to spread the word, it's probably for the best anyway ... ;) And I'm currently reading Perdido Street Station by China...

    The bonus for high intelligence - 18 int at manifester level 5 gives 10 bonus PP :).

    Deadhouse Gates minutiae question. [Expect spoilers]

    NoK is 27X pages. And there isn't much explicit description of magic ... often Kiska, one of the main characters, will notice some unnatural effect and sigh about how others are using magic to get unfair advantages and then there's a very interesting scene concerning the warren of Thyr and...

    Looking for a good Fantasy Book

    Keep in mind, that Gardens of the Moon was written almost a decade before the others and IS the first book. That said I don't really follow you the way up to 'nothing makes any sense'. Oh yes, I wasn't sure what was going on, nor did I follow the complicated structure of events at the Fete (the...

    Membership of the Nameless Legion

    Shackler The others say, they have put it behind them. They say, it doesn’t matter to them anymore, they live now, not in the past. After more than ten years one would think, that I could let go. But that’s the point, isn’t it? Let go. Leave behind all memory, cut away by sorcerous rituals...

    [Players Chosen] Do You Have What It Takes To Join The Nameless Legion?

    Actually there are two statements made by the RAW - first the one I quoted above, citing the intelligence modifier at the begin of the game (as opposed to the 'prehistorical' first level) as the relevant number, taken directly from the description of the intelligence attribute. Second there's...

    [Players Chosen] Do You Have What It Takes To Join The Nameless Legion?

    I knew I shouldn't have looked only through the SRD. The 'fraction of charges' thing is how we've always done it, but with such strong focus on the RAW here I wasn't sure ... Okay, unless there's more mistakes to be found Shackler is ready - should I post him to the Rogue's Gallery?

    [Players Chosen] Do You Have What It Takes To Join The Nameless Legion?

    More last minute changes ... is it possible to get a wand with less than 50 charges at reduced price? Common sense would indicate that many wands in the market are 'used'. Because intimidate unlike diplomacy isn't a class skill, making items the more rational method of boosting it. Oh, the...

    [Players Chosen] Do You Have What It Takes To Join The Nameless Legion?

    More houserules/RAW confusion ... perhaps my grasp on the rules is not as good as I'd like :p Of course it was 3am when I wrote that, so ... anyway, I'll look it up. Edit: Actually, (Emphasis mine) Which was exactly what I did. Of course one might argue, that this is not how it is meant...

    [Players Chosen] Do You Have What It Takes To Join The Nameless Legion?

    1. + 2. Fixed 3. Nor can I. Probably put one bonus into the wrong line - it's now gone. 4. I know ;). 5. Fixed. 6. Fixed. 7. :) I also corrected my HP (87 instead of 85, forgot psionic body). I also get a fifth bonus language, but I don't know what to pick ... and I might add a few minor items...

    BG and PS:T soundtrack ... similarities?

    Hush! BG means Baldur's Gate, especially in that context. How can you use it for something as profane as Battlestar Whatnot? :eek: Seriously, the nerve of it! :p

    [Players Chosen] Do You Have What It Takes To Join The Nameless Legion?

    Okay, I've reworked Shackler some. His focus on social skills has slightly lessened and he's picked up another useful 'keep the team alive' power* - I hope, this further lessens the overlap between Sylv and him. Also the ordeals he's gone through now correspond with the Elan racial modifiers -...

    [Players Chosen] Do You Have What It Takes To Join The Nameless Legion?

    Oh right, that went right past me. Didn't have a character with such low wisdome before. I'll work this out, but I can't do it right now - busy with university application stuff. This evening ... ;)

    [Players Chosen] Do You Have What It Takes To Join The Nameless Legion?

    I'm not sure whether it's core or not, but I removed one point there and tagged it on charisma instead - figuring that the low wis score corresponded nicely with what I had in mind for him. I had the exact point buy and prime attribute info posted separately a few posts upwards ... I can...
