    DnD 3.5 - Valley of the Dead

    Myth is heavy into optimization and in the eyes of most CharOppers, shadowcaster is weak. But if you play smart, it’s actually a fairly good class. I know, as I played one for a while in a PbP here. If you want, I can dig up exactly where I joined that game and my character sheet for it. :) In...

    The Shackled City - Golarion Prelude

    Marcus fakes a shield-punch, then whips his sword blade around in an arc at chest-level. Standard attack. I actually included the bonus for Guidance on my last attack roll, ahayford. Sorry I didn't mention it... AC 19 HP 13/13

    The Shackled City - Golarion Prelude

    Marcus rushes one of the skulks, shield held solidly in front of him. His sword is held low, along the bottom-right side of the shield before he thrusts forward with the tip, first with an uppercut to throw off the skulk's guard and then bringing the blade back down. As I'm dead last, just...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    Yep. The Reapers managed to replicate her from tissue samples or some such. I don't remember exactly, but it amounted to cloning with Reaper tech. Between ME2 and ME3, Anderson resigns from his Council position. It was in the Codex, as I recall. Basically, he got sick of the political BS and...

    Name this TV show.

    It sounds a lot like Alcatraz... though it hasn't actually killed any of the main characters. Yet.

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    1. Vanguard 2. EDI 3. Probably Ashley or James. I used EDI and Garrus almost exclusively. Sometimes Liara or Tali, but not often. 4. I really didn't fiddle with the unlocked powers... Eventually chose Carnage, when it was too late to make much of a difference. :p No kidding, especially after...

    Valley of the Dead: Chapter 2 "Home of the sleepless"

    Rufus nods. "Trust, Lady Vivian, that I would not have made the comment lest I thought it would get you to speak more on this matter. And I apologize if I have offended you," he says sincerely, adding a short bow. "I would also hope very much to hear your story some night. "You are sure you are...

    Valley of the Dead: Chapter 2 "Home of the sleepless"

    "Bound to the Valley, you say? Now I hadn't heard that... I was under the impression it was more of a prison, built to contain them, rather than mystic shackles. I heard it was ancient, sure, but constructed and enhanced over time." He folds his arms over his chest and a frown creases his...

    DnD 3.5 - Valley of the Dead

    Non-proficiency also applies the ACP to attack rolls and all STR/DEX-based ability and skill checks. I'm really not looking to take a -6 penalty on such things. ;) And I'd lose the use of Evasion. I know my Reflex isn't great (and your casters are more likely to use deadlier-than-damage spells...

    Valley of the Dead: Chapter 2 "Home of the sleepless"

    "They can't break free themselves... which is why the Dawnbringer believes these things had help from this side. According to him, some strange things have gone on around here recently. Undead roaming free that shouldn't being the biggest. But, who is this Robert? And why come to me with this...

    DnD 3.5 - Valley of the Dead

    Rufus can't wear it, unless Commander does something to reduce the weight category. I don't have MIC, so I don't know. But as a Rogue/Bard/Warblade, he's only proficient with Light and Medium Armor. :( Rufus's focus was on defense. He just saw Shadows that can strike right through armor and...

    Valley of the Dead: Chapter 2 "Home of the sleepless"

    At the campfire, Rufus just chatted, swapped stories, and relaxed for a bit. Rufus's eyes go wide as she so plainly states the army will be slaughtered after opening the gate... and then he has a hard time getting his eyes away from focusing on her body. "Slaughtered? Everyone? How do you...

    Valley of the Dead: Chapter 2 "Home of the sleepless"

    Rufus spent some time at one of the nearer campfires, talking amicably with some of the other warriors who had signed on for this grave matter before heading to his tent for the night... Rufus lets out a low whistle of mixed surprise and admiration. He coughs slightly and gives a deep bow...

    DnD 3.5 - Valley of the Dead

    My characters have a vampiric stalker! :eek: ;) I don't mind at all. She's a fascinating character and I'm glad you were able to work her back into the story. As for Stuff... I like the look of the Ghost Touch Chainmail with Light Fortification, but am a little concerned about dropping my AC...

    The Shackled City - Golarion Interest/Recruitment (CLOSED)

    The combats we've had have felt interesting and the fairly short length was good, IMO. PbP combat tends to bog down a lot... Which factors into at least my concerns about advancement. As pointed out by jkason, a lot of module and APs have filler encounters, designed to just be something to fight...

    The Shackled City - Golarion Interest/Recruitment (CLOSED)

    Definitely your descriptions and writing style. Evocative and engrossing, set the scene wonderfully. :) Like jkason, I didn't care for the portion of investigation (which is a fault of the module, I'm sure). I tend to get a little paralyzed when it comes to such things, largely due to a fear...

    The Shackled City - Golarion Prelude

    Marcus glances around after the tripwire is disabled. "There's certainly no way those sounds and laughing voices will get creepy in a ruin like this," he mutters, voice dripping sarcasm. He nods at Caytis's suggestion regarding the door and quietly (for him, in full armor) approaches it. He...

    Mass Effect 3 (no spoilers)

    Vanguards and Infiltrators do not get along. :p What difficulty have you been playing? I have to say it sounds like the people playing Vanguards weren't doing a good job of it. I've played each class in the MP and Vanguard is without doubt my favorite, followed by Engineer and (Krogan)...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    I found the ending of the game (and therefore the trilogy) to be a poor one. Whichever you choose, you see largely the same things, your work is largely negated, the galaxy is horribly screwed up, and you have possibly become a massive hypocrite. Some of these things could be mitigated depending...

    Mass Effect 3 (no spoilers)

    Yay, Vanguards! But I have to ask (since I don't know if I've encountered it and haven't heard about it)... what bug? Anyway, it is an awesome game. Seeing a follow-up from even some minor little thing in ME1 is just too cool. It is wonderful how BioWare managed to incorporate so much of...
