Diplomatic Immunity: Almost Ready Maybe?

[Brother Shatterstone]

Guess I'll edit that now.

Oh! Here's something else I got via email that could probably be added.

>> > I imagine that communication, due to magic, moves far quicker than the ships do?

Not as quickly as you would expect, but somewhat faster. This is due to the inability to send messages across the Crystal Spheres. However, courier ships outfitted with mages can allow messages to go much more quickly using the following strategy:

Courier ships stand ready to receive messages at the edge of a crystal sphere. Once they receive a message, they depart for a nearby Crystal Sphere through the phlogiston and once they enter, send a message to another courier ship on the other side. Repeat the process until the message reaches its intended target. This can still take a while, but in well-traveled areas, it is usually two to seven times faster than travel.

Oh, for all those really creative types I could use some help on a surname for a Palmaid, aka a Palm Tree Nymph.

I would like for it to be, for lack of a better word, "perky" if possible. (Like Lilypetals or Flowerbed.)

Anyone got any ideas?

Now the big question...where to put it in the document?

As for the palmiad how about...Palmfrond.

Speaking of the document...now I have people at home pestering me to publish this stuff too, but since one of them is a pretty good artist, I told him that he needs to make me pictures first--I'll see if I get any

Okay, quick question for all you players. (RA need not reply, he's already done so via email.) but I have a character that was a gladiator against her will and I'm having difficulty on figure out which levels to go with.

I wrote her up originally as a Amazon 2/Gladator 1 but now I'm not so sure as she hated her time as a gladiator and will never level again in the class so please keep that in mind when you answer this question.

She has reason to feel guilt at her time in the ring, and also for how it changed her, would you as a player be satisfied with just roleplaying it out by taking an Amazon 2/Gladator 1?

Or would you want mechanics to be involved also, aka Battle’s Euphoria, and have her truly changed/corrupted by her experience in the ring? (Amazon 1/Gladator 2)

So which would it be?

Well I'll wreck your little poll completely and go for a third option, that of Amazon 3 and roleplay the gladiator experience entirely. After all, class mechanics only describe what you learned, not what you did. Unless of course they mind controlled her and forced her to train in the gladiator way, they'd probably be happier for the spectators to see a different fighting style than what they're used to.

Interesting way to do things and you didn't wreck the poll in my mind but the gladiator class is solidly built and has a number of mechanics that I think any gladiator would need to survive in the pit, like hand to hand combat, and entertain the crowd, like a signature move, To be honest the only thing missing is a free exotic weapon proficiency in a less than perfect killing weapon. AKA one that causes lots of blood to be spilled, or hinders an opponent, but isn't truly as fatal as a real weapon. A net is a good example of this.)

Damn, and here I was trying to be disruptive.

Unarmed combat would be useful, but not necessary. The spectators want to see a lot of blood not two people beating each other. If it concerns you though, take the Improved Unarmed Strike feat and work from the concept that you were forced to learn it to stay alive in the arena.

As for entertaining the crowd, I see a signature move as something someone who wants to be there would perfect (hence their actual Gladiator training). I'm sure an Amazon's combat style would be different enough all on it's own, add to that the fact she doesn't want to be there and it's fun for everyone (except the Amazon of course).

*shrug* I guess we just don't see it the same way then. Thanks for reply though.

Not a problem, there's always room for a difference of opinion with concepts.
