Are we ready to get this show on the road? Playing around with one of the glowing mushrooms she had discovered, Whisper reproduced the glowing lights that Nearis had previously used. She was very deliberate about producing simple glowing lights, rather than try to create a humanoid figure, lest...

I'm going to write up a background today. Given that my guy was a college student when he came into his powers, it makes sense to have him attend the same university Sandra and Amber attended. Considering Herman's social awkwardness, he probably wouldn't appear in anyone else's write-up, even...

Yup, build-wise, my two are the exact same character, but the attributes changed due to the transformation increasing and decreasing them, rather than building a new character with natural attributes at those levels. Still has the same skills between the two forms, but less capability in the...

I think we're making our PL2-5 character and then our PL10 for what we become, however we become.

[IC] SWS/DnD5, Star Wars the Old Republic – A Gathering Darkness Cal listened intently to the Kwa spirit or whatever it was. He had spent too much time around the Force lately to discount it, even if he didn't understand it. Give me a trusty blaster and armor any day of the week... he thought...

Thanks. That grab thing seems a bit weird. I mean, a PC with STR 10 is considered moderately superhuman according to that chart. But an average STR 0 person would have a 55% chance of breaking that grab, assuming a roll of 11 or higher on a D20? It's how I read it too, but it doesn't seem quite...

Basic questions: If my "to hit" bonus is a +10 with a punching attack, does that mean that my strength can't be higher than a 10 since that is the damage level for the attack? Also, can someone explain the Grab resistance check? Is my STR the DC or is this an opposed check?

Gotcha! Interesting, I didn't see anything about staging up the damage of the attack based on the margin of success; I must have missed that in the SRD. I did see where it explains that a critical hit can stage the damage effect up by +5 and that the degree of failure of the resistance check...

Thanks Shayuri! I definitely will want him permanently transformed, but I couldn't find the flaw or whatever it would be that would make it so. Since the affliction attack is grab based, does that mean having a +12 to Grab would put him over the 20 limit (12+10=22)? I'm still working out the...

As I think I've mentioned, I've never played M&M before, so please take a look at my character and let me know if my calculations are correct and/or any suggestions. The basic concept is a brainy college botany student who was transformed into a strong and very tough plant-based hero do to a...

Whisper watched impassively as Koregar sifted through the remains of the defeated undead. She checked the drow's body one last time and took his rations, splitting them with the dwarf. She idly wondered if the human mage's possessions were still intact after the blast of frost. His rations might...

I'm still considering the college kid turned into a plant monster. Just need to figure out how to build him. Tough and strong, but not smart or agile at all under his permanent transformation. Should be able to knock it out today.

I think the problem with the familiar is having reliable spell components to reproduce it. I'm not sure if the costly material components are going to be available. Since I only have one universal slot, I think it is better served going toward Detect Magic.

OK, I think I'm going with the following spell list: Cantrips - Dancing Lights, Message, & Mage Hand 1st Level: Detect Magic, Color Spray, and Silent Image I had considered Minor Image but figured Dancing Lights would be useful for sweeping corridors/rooms while keeping us in darkness. While...

Thanks. Did all of the dead folks have medpacs in their utility belts? That could be helpful. Cal will grab a suit of scout armor, if there are no objections. Probably should take the rest of the gear to fence or something. Anyone have hacking skills? Might be worthwhile to see if the LT's...

[IC] SWS/DnD5, Star Wars the Old Republic – A Gathering Darkness Cal took everything in with his usual stoicism. Not one to question such a gift, the medic proceeded to open his medikit and treat the rest of the party, tending to those most in need of healing, including himself. Once he...

"Good call," Whisper replied, "If the rest of the guardians of this cursed place are as tough as that, we should probably do our best to avoid them from now on." The halfling settled in to rest. A pessimist, it was unsurprising that despair had started to creep into her outlook on things. With...

Great, so I should have components covered for Mage Hand and Message. That should help out with sneaking. The dwarf can stay a distance away and we can still communicate. That may allow us to get back to the bedroom so I can get a spell component pouch. We could, uh, try the other chests too...
