L4W Discussion Thread IV

Yes, spiked chains are OK here and even that weapon training feat is allowed.

question: when using DM credits, characters gain both time xp and gp correct?
ie. I'm using 10 credits on a 5th level character. I should get both 1660XP and 2330gp if I'm not mistaken.

Haven't checked your math, but yes, you do get both xp and gold for using DM credits.

I just wanted to make a note about the "requesting approval" category on the wiki.

While in theory it would be a good place to check who needs approving, in practice it doesn't really work. Some people forget to add the tag (whether they're creating a new character or re-submitting after a level-up), and there are also piles of characters in that category who either never got submitted (as someone noted, it's in there by default if you copy and paste the sample character) or got submitted, had changes requested by the judges, and never responded.

I've found that, for myself, using the emails to the judges is a much more reliable method. I keep a text file that I (in theory) update as new emails get sent to keep track of who needs approval, who's waiting on the judges, and which characters the judges are waiting for changes on.

Long Arm of Lauto: Obolus is still seeking 1-2 characters between 1st and 3rd level.

One other thing is that I find there are a lot of pages in there that I haven't seen sent over for approval. Not sure if there are a bunchc of people who started pages, but then decided not to continue or what.

Same in LEB (although on smaller scale).

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

Like?

 

[renau1g]

Now I'm not 100% certain but there's 88 awaiting approval & I only have a total of 50 e-mails in my inbox, including personal stuff, LEB, and other stuff. So I either deleted about 40 e-mails without looking at them (a couple maybe, but not that many I hope) or there's some people who haven't sent them

Again I don't know each and every member of L4W, but a handful are below (quick cursory glance at the outstanding list). My apologies if these are active.

Should we revisit double weapons now that they have been errattad updated?

I think we at least could reopen the discussion about them

 

[Reklaw]

I'd search for this but don't have the ability to. Oversized weapons are off limits right? Such as a bugbear dual wielding two oversized shortswords.
