It's all about the mindset. :)

QFT Just because Santa doesn't objectively exist, doesn't mean he isn't real. I'm letting my daughter figure that out. She realized a couple years ago that there is no physical fat guy in a red suit. I think she's starting to figure out the other half as she talks about Santa to her little...

Cool. Adding them to the character sheet.

Deuce: I'd love to have a contact at a University (I assume Ptolus has at least one). Ideally, I'd like to be an occasional lecturer/consultant with the university, filling out the whole Indiana Jones vibe. I actually spent one whole rank in Profession(Teaching) (Hey, I never said he was a...

Sweet, because I was having a heck of a time picking something that wasn't taken. :)

D'oh! I don't know how that got in there. I'll fix it.

Yeah, those links to specific TiddlyWiki entries are a bear. Just type "unlimited mana" in the search box. :)

I use PirateCat's "action points instead of XP for crafting" rule. Also I use regular casting, but have an alternative as well. I allow sorcerers (only) to use a system where they can cast as much as they want to, but risk hurting themselves if they exceed a certain threshhold. It's based on...

I'm going to go ahead and post what I have of Kantris now, and clean it up in place: Kantris Male Human Abjurer9/Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil 1 Prohibited Schools: Enchantment, Illusion Familiar: Weasel named "Hobo" STR: 10 DEX: 14 (16) CON: 12 INT: 16 (20) WIS: 12 CHA: 9 FEATS Skill Focus...

Deuce, I'm pretty close to being done with Kantris, but there's an important question I haven't asked: How many spells (and of what level) should he have in his spellbook? Just the minimum granted by level advancement? Should I shell out GP for spells in excess of that amount? Like that.

Brilliant stuff, as usual. I'm assuming (perhaps erroneously) that the ninja is a goblin. What with the green skin and all. Of course, she's kind of tall, but so is Redcloak.

In the first case, it remains an indeterminate summoning, trapped in a quantum superposition of states (fuzzy ball) until the user gets within 20' to make a valid observation and collapse its waveform into a specific animal. Usually a cat.

I'm still here. A little slower getting things together than I thought, but I've made good progress on Kantris. My concept has morphed a bit into an Indiana Jones-style academic specializing in the exploration and study of the various ruins and relics in and beneath Ptolus. Still sticking...

Yeah. You know until today I just assumed that Mage Armor was an abjuration spell. Go figure. On the other hand, Shield (enhanced) and Protection From Evil as Swift actions is pretty sweet.

Suckage. I just gave an NPC wizard in my game Abjurant Champion levels based in large part on his ability to maintain a decent armor class using this. Ah well. My players never read the errata... :)

I wish this was a multiple-choice poll so I could pick both "I tried it and thought is was OK" along with "New Englanders are weird." :)

I was definitely doing my happy dance yesterday. :) The Packers not only won big, they looked really convincing doing it. After what Minnesota did to San Diego, I was pretty worried. So...The Packers beat the Chargers. The Chargers beat the Colts. The Colts are, by anybody's estimation, an...

Deuce: I think my character (named Kantris, by the way) will be an actual member. At 10th level, I think we should have some established reputations/connections. I'll deduct 2000 from my starting money. I've rolled stats. They are nothing spectacular. Here are the Invisible Castle links...

Sounds good to me. I'll read up on the Inverted Pyramid and work it into the character writeup

Thanks! Sorry I had to bail on the Dorinthians, but I simply had no time. Now I have very little time, but I'm itching to game! :) I'm not too familiar with Ptolus (though I do have th players' guide) so I'll do some reading. But I think I'll go with a Human Wizard base (because I am always...
