Call to the Four Lands

[Scotley]

Alban is currently boosting the spot, listen, and initiative checks of those within 10' of him.

Help for the Dm

Hey guys for the next few posting cycles in the title portion of your new post would you put

something like this Scotley - Albain - Divine Mind..so as to help me get the characters and the players firmly in my old besotted brain cells

 

[Redclaw]

My only issue with the bonus thing is that we don't have maps. If I can't look at a map, how do I know which aura(s) I'm within?

As for auras, Padraig has one, at a 30' range, that he can switch once per turn. Currently it's +2 to listen, spot, search and initiative.

Leif -- Nijel Bladesong -- Paladin of Light(10'Aura of Courage)

My only issue with the bonus thing is that we don't have maps. If I can't look at a map, how do I know which aura(s) I'm within?

At the risk of suffering blue bolts, may I say that the man (dragon?) has a point!

BTW, do we really need to follow the rules about titles for posts in the OOC thread?

10 foot Aura of Courage, +4 to morale and saves vs. fear

 

[J. Alexander]

Good point

Your right i have kinda been remiss about maps..i will do better especially when combat is occuring.......

nope only in the main thread

 

[Neurotic]

Agreed

I have no problem with that. Just as long as I can modify following posts

I have a suggestion also:
Casters should list active spells at the bottom of the post, grouped personal and party
Auras should be listed also as party spells
DM should (it's really not so much to do ) list party effects at the bottom of his posts
It could be just a list of bonuses/penalties along the lines of
Morale +2 dmg; +4 attack
Cirumstance -2 attack; -50% move
Unamed DR 1/-

Okay I dont mind listing the pluses etc in my posting but i want the party to come up with standard marching orders for 10foot and 5 foot halls....as well as a casual riding colume and and attack riding coloume plus a skirmish line..........also for the pc with auras/augementations i want you to list what you usually have going all the time...what your attack mode is and what a defense mode is going to be....this is going to require a lot of inter character discussion i imagine.....so no hurry..remember you guys function as a military strikd team so things should more or less be coordinated and overlapping to a certain extent...


Scotley, would you please send me that xls sheet that your using for a map grid...thanks

 

[Redclaw]

I guess I'll weigh in on my preferences.
As for marching orders, etc. Padraig primarily uses a longspear, as I created him as a second-rank melee combatant. That way he's got reach and can stay central, getting as many allies as possible in his aura.
My usual aura will be the senses one (+2 to spot, search, listen and initiative.) When we enter combat I'll usually switch to energy shield, 4 points of fire damage to anyone who attacks an ally with a melee or natural weapon.

 

[Scotley]

Alban would be happy to serve in the front rank, but his 10' auras and reach weapon would do best in the second rank. He's not a particularly competent rider and perhaps should be a little further back when riding. Unless combat is imminent he will have the perception aura up giving a +2 to spot, listen and initiative.

One map grid coming up Mr. DM.

 

[Rhun]

Roak is certainly a front line fighter, and is almost completely useless if not in the front since he has no ranged capablities at all.
