    H.P. Lovecrafts Birthday, what did you do?

    I hadn't even known... But I was reading a few of his stories yesterday afternoon and evening, as I have for the last couple of weeks. :lol:

    Stonefist Academy - 3.5 D&D - OOC - Recruiting Closed

    That sounds fine. :) True, there are other spells. It's just so many of the common/classic battle spells use Fire. There are few spells as iconic as fireball, seeing as it has its roots in more fantasy than magic missile (which is probably The Iconic D&D Spell). Ahayford: I don't think...

    X5: To the Temple of Death - IC

    Jex squirms a little uncomfortably as the man decays. He gulps and lets out a long-held breath as the rotting finishes its accelerated business. "Hopefully we won't be stuck dealing with them when they turn up again, eh?" he jokes, perking up again. "And as for getting back to Darokin, we do...

    Batman: The Killing Joke -- crap

    It depends on the movies you watch... Some action films are all about the CGI (Transformers) and handle it well, giving us a fun time. Others are more grounded for their action. And the dramatic movies don't really fall into this trap... Sure, we see lots of remakes, but we also see some...

    Understood. Though I will voice my dislike of the OOC, Say and Thought-bubble tags... I find them jarring at best. :erm: I'm much more fond of sblock for good old OOC. And habit has ingrained the speech color and italicized thoughts... I'm a little concerned with Miranda's tattoo changing all...

    S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Gold

    Char stays on the defensive. “Finish them off!” OOC: Running King Grommet per DM’s request. King Grommet, HP 60/85, AC 32, saves F+12/R+2/W+10 AP 7/9 King Grommet dodges aside and whirls his chain around again. “Keep up the pressure, m’boy! You and King Grommet* will vanquish him yet.” The...

    Okay, here's the mostly-complete level-up for Jareth. HP increase in attached die roll. (d8+2). X BAB increases to +7/+2. Learn 1 spell (of 2nd-level, Bull’s Strength) and gain 2 extra 2nd-level spell slots. Gain Armored Mage (Medium), trade for … Gain 8 skill points (2 base +2 house rule +3...

    The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar

    Barrik left his old chain shirt behind in the tower when the group finally set out. He also wasn’t going to fault the others for their paranoia or their lack of confidence. On reaching the village, he goes along with the cursory search, the two-headed Gulujak following him everywhere. Gulujak...

    Off to War [IC]

    Jareth winces as Rizella takes the news as he expected. He still had to actually provide a note with the truth on it, for her. "I am sorry, Lady Rizella. If I could go back and change the way things went, rest assured I would." The young nobleman grimaces as Vance and Lora's words follow. "I...

    X5: To the Temple of Death - IC

    Jex brings the carpet to a stop at the prow of the ship as Eissun's darkness dissipates. He raises a curious eyebrow as the dagger and sphere vanish and simply asks, "Is it done?"

    Off to War [IC]

    Jareth straightens his posture further, shoulders arched back. His voice is firm, even commanding as he says, "I am sure, Lord Vir. My father would not have trusted this man with the Seal of Kem if he had the slightest doubt." For emphasis, Jareth withdraws the medallion of and seal of his...

    The misbegotten waif thread a/k/a The Fray V2

    I could always go for rain... as long as it's a nice, cold storm from the North. I don't like the hot, humid tropical storms. And yeah, I got that stupid White version earlier. Had to figure out where the particular option in Settings was so I could change it back to Black. I don't come to...

    Oots 0801

    He hasn't quite grown out of that. (Yeah yeah, it's been a while since that comic was released, but not too long in the comic's storyline.) The last panel (of 801) fairly well sums up my opinion on this strip. :)

    Uh... because they're a paladin! ;) That's a DM issue, IMO. I think one of the best pieces of advice I've ever seen for playing a Paladin is "work out what your Code is with the DM". That tends to head off a goodly portion of Code railroading. The authority problem... gotta say that's a...

    Excellent! Now comes another wish to trade away a class feature: Armored Mage (heavy shield). We made a trade for Armored Mage (Medium) before, so I'd like to do the same for the shield, as Jareth has absolutely no use for such things. It doesn't fit his fighting style at all. Trading for...

    Jareth coughs a little uncomfortably. "I'm afraid we were not as successful as we had hoped, Lord Valorn. Tharivol is... no longer among us. I... am sorry." He takes a deep breath as the foul taste of the lie passes his lips. "I suppose I should begin at the beginning. Brend, Vance and Skazul...

    Might want to double-check what you posted, Sphyh. I don't intend to run two characters in this game. ;) I (probably) wouldn't mind a change to the stat generation... I didn't end up too bad with it, after all, with an 18 roll and then 20 in DEX. Plus I've already got my sheet all finished and...

    HM's AP for PbP -(closed group, playtesting)- IC

    I don't believe so... Cobra attacked, then Sandwalker missed. TOP OF THE ROUND. Beast, Gyrs and I attacked (and jkason accidentally posted up another action after you last post with the map, HM). So it should be the serpent, then Sandwalker again.

    Bards are a decent little buffer... but the good Inspire Courage boosts of which I am aware are out of this game. The bonus healing spells (later on) are helpful too, as is the ability to wield a wand if the Cleric/Druid/Ranger/Paladin is indisposed. Warlock would give some extra arcane...

    AFAICT, my PC will remain a Rogue. I haven't really seen any PrCs that make me go "Oooh" yet. And any other class (other than Wiz) will give me a multiclass XP penalty, as well as making me confused about the character concept. :p ... Can't... XP... :p
