Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[Malvoisin]

Oh, I meant to ask - Mal, how do you feel about being able to substitute Strength for Charisma in Intimidate checks? It's an optional rule, but I'd be quite interested in your answer.

I prefer to stick to CHA for Intimidate checks.

However, I am predisposed to modify 'interaction' skill checks (Intimidate, Diplomacy, Bluff, etc.) based on good (or bad) role-playing. So, Chongo is still capable of being quite intimidating, even without a high Charisma modifier.

Mal, would a Psion make a suitable PC for Savage Tide? Easy to make a blaster from one of those....

Honestly? I think it would just be easier for me to leave psionics out of this.

Nothing against them, but I'm just trying to simplify things as much as possible.

Fully appreciated! Probably Warmage or Warlock at this stage.

Note, that in any case, that is not enough for Anar's claim. So he would "go in the hole" for the future or pay the different amount in real money. I'd go with the former (which is more akin to halfrogman's "write it down" method).

Course, I could be a bit too LN about this.

I think I'd rather go with something more like what hafrogman mentioned, and not get so bogged down with the nickles and dimes. I've found that so long as the players are interested in mutual survival and cooperation (and I firmly believe that to be the case here), the treasure tends to get divvied up in a fair manner.

I think it best if cash (or jewelry, gems, etc.) gets split evenly, while equipment and items get distributed on the basis of usefulness. In cases where more than one player wants to claim a particular item, it will go to whomever has received fewer items (or less total value in items, if you prefer) previously.

I know that's all much more vague than your method, stonegod, but I think it will work out fine. Everybody just share, and play nice.

Either of those would be fine with me.

I've updated the first post of the rogue's gallery with the beginnings of a treasure log. I've included a note with the name of the PC who has claimed a given piece of treasure. For unclaimed items, we'll assume that no one has a problem with simply selling them, and dividing up the profit equally. If any of my info looks inaccurate, feel free to let me know.

Thanks!
Mal

I'll knock something up over the next 12 hours and submit in the RG thread.

Great!

Before we go, I'd suggest:
- We search the hold
- Catalogue the critters there (perhaps *we* can sell them in the Azure District )
- Tell Col what you found so he can say something crazy about those critters.

Mal: Do you have Complete Mage?
