Crossed Paths - OOC

[Krilith]

And Manzanita, I agree with the others, this is a fine PbP and shows promise to continue doing so.

yeah, about the continuing bit, please do! i'm enjoying myself almost to much!

I'll be off the net for up to a week. Please feel free to autopilot my character Manzanita.

I'm back. Lost Internet for a bit at work due to a phone company mistake, got it back now...

 

[Krilith]

Manzanita, how high is the corredor we are currently in? and was the hight even all the way?

 

[Manzanita]

The corridors have been a pretty consistant height, about 8 to 10 feet. Not built by dwarves, evidently.

I know I am posting this way off topic, but I was looking around the messageboard and I was wondering what the difference is between: Living enworld and this play by post game? something about offical characters and walking around in a 'real' world.
is there somesort of guide, or information thread?

Living Enword is basically a self contained game setting. The actions of the players and the elements of the various games becoming part of the history of the world. You can only use the basic core materials, basically, and have to start at 1st level. There is a Guide thread. Have a poke around.

LEW is cool b/c your PC can experience multiple DMs over time, and if one DM dissapears, your PC can continue in another adventure. The drawback, if there is one, is that the DMs can't really go to town with their own world. I play in LEW & in other threads; I suppose most people do.

 

[Krilith]

i'll take another look for that newb thread.

another thing, i don't have acces to the internet this weekend, manzanita, Dhormium will try and hold that defensive line with Octar. if the line breaks for some odd reason, and dhormium stands alone, he will cast enlarge person on himself.
his hight will double (and the ceiling permits that) and he will use his new 10" reach as much as he can.

Thanks for the clarification TH. I missed the fact that a Feint was a standard action. The whole Feint/Sneak Attack melee combo for a rogue seems a little wonky to me, to be honest. It really seems to be the sort of thing an accomplished fighter would master. Having to sacrifice an attack to do it makes it seem a little better balanced. Halve the number of attacks you make in exchange for tripling (with a shortsword) the damage 1d6>1d6+2d6 when you hit. Improved Feint/Sneak attack now looks like a tasty option. I really would be a hopeless powergamer.

Gotta keep this in mind for next time. Perhaps I should get Marcus killed so I can start again ...

So does the whole "Tumble through threatened spaces and even through occupied squares" things seems wonky to me also. Sure, if you're Neo, or a lycra clad flip belt wearing Harlequin acrobat extraordinaire. But for a winter outfitted, chainmail clad, backpack lugging adventurer, it seem a little far fetched.

Except when my character wants to do it, of course.

What are your thoughts on it, Manzanta?
