Malvoisin's Curse of the Crimson Throne (OOC)

[Legildur]

I'm going to purchase and download Monte Cook's Book of Experimental Might later today. If I see anything that really grabs me, I might propose house rules to implement some of his ideas. Any of the rest of you going to buy this?

Speaking of house rules, I think we've had two 'yes' votes for implementing the variant death and dying rules, with everyone else abstaining (so far). That's good enough for me to go ahead and call it offical. Let's give it a try.

I had no intention to buy the book, but happy for you to implement whatever rules would fit.

So, two ex-Shiver addicts, and a widower(esqe) recovering alcoholic. Its the Substance Abuse Party (SAP^TM)!

 

[Rhun]

Gadeann has none of that...he was simply a tortured youngling. His background has been added. Do we still get a bonus regional feat, or was that waived off in favor of the trait?

It was waived off in favor of the trait, actually. I figured with six experienced players in the fold, I didn't want to overdo it with freebies.

CB, this reminds me that Girri actually has one feat too many as she is currently posted, for just this reason. Not your fault, it was a reversal on my part, made after you created her.

Legildur, I like the background for your Diviner. Good job! I've updated the 'Cast of Characters' with a little summary description, based on what you've got so far. One question I do have, did you intend for the gambling habit to be an ongoing part of the character's personality, or was that introduced solely as a gateway to his Shiver addiction?

 

[Malvoisin]

I've officially 'officialized' this game's use of the new variant Death and Dying rules by adding them to the House Rules section of the Rogue's Gallery.

FYI

Rhun, thanks for completing Gadeann's background. It's great.

You know, upon reading it, I was struck by the similarities between the names 'Gadeann' and 'Gaedren' to the skimming eye. Once we get to in-character references to the criminal, I'll probably try to refer to him mostly as 'Lamm' for that reason.

Oh, and is Gadeann missing a +4 bonus to his spiked gauntlet attack?

Changed to Lamm in my background as well, for easier reading.

Fixed.

Enjoy your weekend, Rhun!

Viva Las Vegas...

Mal- I hadn't realized the Trait would be in place of the feat. If I'm more interested in the bonus feat, would you consider me keeping Girri's Shiver addiction for the in-game tie to Lamm but have the trait be solely story and strip away the +1 to save? In exchange for retention of the bonus feat?

Probably too much to ask but at the present moment I'm more attached to the Varisian Tattoo feat than I am the +1 to Fort. Thought I'd ask here in case others are in the same boat (though it sounds like I may be the only one).
