So long and thanks To all the players, GMs and general posters whose acquaintance I have made over the past year... ...just wanted to sign off with a thank you for some great discussions and memorable games. My time here is at an end. For reasons I can't quite fathom, a fellow poster seems to...

I'm going to bow out. Thanks for the game and happy hunting.

Disclaimer - I'm not at all familiar with Sigil (other than the concept behind it), and have very limited knowledge of Eberron and Waterdeep. A bunch of questions that popped into my head (in no order): - how big is the city? I'm assuming pretty big if you are talking about multiple wards...

OC: Z3R0 can open the doors (I *hope*...) but he's not here for his marksmanship - I assumed the collection of tooled up bad boys I met on the ship would take care of that side of things. So no help getting rid of the guards from him I'm afraid.

My bad Shay (and everyone else) - over-reaction on my part for which I apologise. I know Leif has sent out some proposed ideas for where we go from here. I'm *really* struggling with this game: too many false starts, changes, no clear idea of who we are, what we are doing or where we are going...

Z3R0 favours Chase with a sidelong look as the other 2 make for the window. 'You're going to shoot both of them before they can move? Impressive...'.

OC: Fine by me

All of these have been said already, but... HERO, although stat heavy, covers pretty much everything. Earthdawn, shows how you can have something that is superficially like D&D in terms of stats, but much, much better integrated into the system. Stats give you not only physical defense, but...

EDIT: sorry folks, think I need to step out of this now. Fairly heavily committed with other stuff and I don't want people to go to a lot of trouble setting this up and then disappear within a few days.

Gruffle watches the power readings from the other ship's power plant start to fluctuate and covers his snout with both paws. 'No, no, no' he whines, 'if he doesn't power it down properly he'll blow the magnetic inhibitor coil array!'. He fumbles on the console for the commlink, activates it and...

A bit late replying but I think it's got a lot of potential too. Looking for any input as you said you were going to develop it on your own?

'Er, Spider' says Gruffle, 'I'm not sure I'm working this thing right. Are you seeing this energy spike on the sensors as well?'. The Vargr starts to look anxious. 'We should hail them. Quickly' he says to no-one in particular. 'If that sensor reading is correct that ship's power plant is...

'Oooh, mining tool' said Gruffle excitedly. 'I'll be right up!'. There were sounds of hasty scrabbling over the commlink, then a minute or so later the Vargr appeared on the bridge beside Zoe. 'That it?' he asked, peering out of the viewport. 'Funny looking thing, eh' he said. 'So what's this...

That sounds like a nice tie-in to me. So, 'class' aside, what is everybody's part of the troupe/circus? I'm looking over ideas at the moment and I'd like to have an idea that fits in with actually being part of the caravan.

Too big. Or not big enough. Depends on my mood.

Sorry folks, I am still here. Just hit a really busy week in and out of work. The band of gypsies seems fine for a reason to be together - I'll try and get something together by the weekend. Are we set with an oracle, a wizard and a rogue then?

Z3R0 favours the scout with a weary look. 'That'll be why I'm here' he said. 'Just get me an opening and I'll sort the locks out'.

This is what I'm saying - the gist of the optimising argument is you can have a low CHA, but add enough ranks in Diplomacy and you're on the after dinner speaking circuit.

Don't follow your inital reply. Yes there should be consequences, then no there shouldn't be consequences? I'm not having any problems with people doing it in my games. Should I run a game then anybody dumping stats will quickly find out the consequences, trust me. However, judging from the...

Apologies to Edwin Starr for the thread title. So, charisma - is it more trouble than it is worth? Many game systems don't have a CHA stat and handle how the PCs interact socially with the world in other ways, often more abstract. Others have no stat, but still have skills or abilities which...
