Anyhow, I know it's my post but I've been waiting for Wrahn to come back, working on Kilcif, and basally time got away from me…

Anyhow, what’s everyone opinion on this game? Are we on or should we just call it over?

I'm on. I would be willing to play this game as a duo, or even a solo game. A low number of active players should be an advantage, leading to greater responsibility, commitment and immersion in the game.
I really don't think there's a point on waiting for Wrahn or Dalamar, we can do this just the three of us . Sandorel can bring in a cohort from his Leadership feat to cover our arcane weakness, and at these levels fighter-types are not really necessary.

Same as I.

I agree, this game was great and can honestly be so again... Nothing has changed that.

Technically Dalamar has been waiting on us... It’s only the two of us in the room, though I guess Vilya could simply knock also.

I don't think we need a cohort, I know you spent a feat on leadership but I think a party of three could make this work by itself...

Dalamar, jump in here if you want to play. When I see you online I drop a reminder of it also.

PA, I say we write off Wrahn, reboot to gestalt characters, I’ve contacted both Serpenteye and Dalamar on this a while ago and they where happy to do this, and respond are money as need be. Conan's sword is obviously important to the game Vilya shouldn't have to pay for it... I guess it can be considered a "group" item.

sound good?

 

[Dalamar]

I'm still around!

Vilya's not really the type that comes a-knocking to other people's doors, though I was considering the option anyway.

*bump*

PA, do you want to weigh in on this?

GAAH! My deepest apologies; the thread somehow dropped off my list, so I hadn't noticed these posts.

I am more than happy to keep this game going; it's up to you whether you'd rather go gestalt or not, as I can balance encounters either way.

EDIT: I'm thinking that it might be best, especially if we go gestalt, that we drop Epic Spellcasting; it's a little out of hand when you have two full spellcasting classes. It also tends to shift spellcasting even more towards buffs than instantaneous effects, which in my opinion isn't a good thing.

No need to apologize it's easy enough to do; hell I'm still having issues with the lack of email notifications.

This will affect only one person to be honest... Though it could indeed affect Brystasia also, but it really should be between you two.

I do have S&S Advance Players Guide, in fact it should up yesterday, and it has some alternate rules for epic levels, like you don't stop gaining spells or your BAB doesn't stop either. It caps out at 30th Level and is meant to replace the rules in the DMG. (It states you can only use one or the other so it’s a rather big change. It’s rather cool to see a Bard casting 9th level spells and rangers/paladins casting 6th level.)

Let me all know what you think, and if everyone is interested in this system let me know rather or not you have excel.

Aside from epic spells, I think that the rules work fairly well, and am inclined to keep them for the sake of simplicity; it's simply that Epic Spellcasting is either vastly too powerful (for example, it's a piece of cake to boost one of your opponent's SRs to 60+ with a single epic spell) or terribly weak (that same opponent is much better off using a Destruction spell than an epic attack spell).

Right and I agree with this but at the same time what's in it for a spell caster to go to the 21th level when he can't even learn more spells?

Beautiful feats like Improved Spell Capacity, Improved Metamagic, Multispell, Automatic Quicken Spell, and so forth. If the current list of spells doesn't suit, I'll be willing to look at spells of 10th or higher level if you'd like to research them.
