A Merc's Life [OOC 01]

[Leif]

Race, not class, but, yeah, more power to you! np, big guy.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Hey, Scott - need an action for Keeland so we can move on . . .

 

[Leif]

Can't we just assume that Keeland uses his awesome arcane powers to fry all the little midget bad guys within, say, 3 miles?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Ya know, up 'till now I've been somewhat disdainful of those feats etc. that allow a second roll (for saves or whatever). But that second roll you guys are having to make is a pain in the buttocks! Of course, when it's a feat you usually have to take the second roll rather than choosing the best, and in this case you have to take the worse of the two, so it's not really a fair comparison.

If it helps, the AP specifically states (several times, in fact) that these guys are supposed to be a pain in the arse and the PCs are supposed to hate them, so I guess they're well designed.

 

[renau1g]

Yes they truly are a bane to us, I hoped the +2 to ranged rolls would somewhat help, but the double rolls has a negative amount of probably around -4 to -5 to hit so it only halves their ability...

At least they didn't destroy my shield.... *phew*

 

[Leif]

Well-designed or not, I LOATHE the little bast***s!

 

[Scott DeWar]

David? hehehe he's not Canadian...

yeah, I am from the nation of california. it is the granola state, land of the fruits, nuts and flakes. I am one of the nuts.

I have been out of country, but never to the north. nI have been to the alternate reality know as the arkansas demension, and even further south then that.

Woops! My bad, Ryan!! Gosh, I didn't itend such a mortal insult as that! I hope you can find it in your generous, Canadian heart to forgive me someday. (David: )

you better hope you dont get an army of RCMP coming down to wreak holy vengence on for such an insult. that is pretty darn bad.

I got confused because it's been David who's been leading the charge for Pathfinder rpg, and you have been a 4E Champion, while 4E is anathema to David.

Anyway, y'all are both north of me, so all you yankees look kinda the same!

that is wo wrong on so many levels...saying that a candian is as ugly as I...so very wrong.

Yeah, Pathfinder actually addresses most of the issues I had with 3.5e (mainly around spellcasters being archers for the first portion of their careers). If I hadn't already invested a few hundred dollars in 4e (and gotten addicted to their character builder software) I'd be more inclined to try Pathfinder, especially as I really respect Paizo and have loved their Dungeon/Dragon stuff in the past number of years.

ditto on all the great things said about pathfinder!

I s'pose it does. I meant in a RL setting, I just convinced wife/friend to switch over to 4e (I guess that means DeWar's next )

Good luck with that. Don't forget to pack a lunch! (And some extra ammo.)

lots of extra ammo. and a couple of extra armies besides. then there is a glimmer of hope. like a dying spark on a cold dark mooless night during a heavy dwonpour.

I'm headed to internet deadland until sometime Sunday. I'll catch up then. Y'all have a great weekend!

(I think I still need Keeland's actions before posting again).

have fun!

I dunno, man, I'm pretty leery of these things. I do kinda like the DnD 4E character builder, but really, I prefer to know the rules well enough that I don't need the crutch of a character builder to do the work for me. Really, it's just another way that Wizards, or whoever, is digging deeper into our pockets for very little worthwhile work. But, hey, knock yourself out! I'll gladly let you use your character builder for me, as long as you don't ask me to make a monetary contribution towards its purchase.

i too prefoer to simply know the rules. I learned my lesson back with the Core rules cd from 2ed and the expansion with players options.

 

[Scott DeWar]

Well-designed or not, I LOATHE the little bast***s!

ditto and likewise.

but as for the pathfinder discussion threads, I actuyally have not been following. I have been trying to find more work/keep bloodsugers good/prepare for cateract surgery. just keeping an eye on the blood sugars alone has been nearly full time work.

 

[Leif]

A subtle note for DeWar and Scotley....

David,

All kidding and BS aside, I hope that you do take good care of yourself and your diabetes issues. The same goes for Scotley! I don't know what I'd do without you guys, your absence would leave a huge, frayed, gaping, bleeding hole in my life. So, da*****, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES!! (Or I'll have to come and kill you!) What in h*&^% was I thinking?? That almost made me sound nice!

a lawyer being nice? is that even alowed on the level of phiscal science of the known universe? or would it have caused a rift that would destroy all that we know to be?

well, as for my blood sugar levels, they have been bet2ween 90 and 110, so that is considered perfect for me.
