NC Game Day VII - April 23!

[Henry]

I have a question. Magical Aptitude matters for casting time, and is determined partially by ranks in Magic Use. As I deconstruct it from the skill value, Verc has max 12 ranks +2 points for synergy for Knowledge:Arcana and +3 for Charisma bonus for a total of 17. This would not include the +4 for 1st Magnitude bonus I use on castings. Do I have this right?

Thanks. Last minute? What last minute?

Old One's already rolling, Riggs. He's probably not going to be interacting with us till tonight.

However, the value he gave me for my character had magical aptitude included, so he may not have given you full ranks. You're better off reminding yourself to ask him tonight. That may make a huge difference if you're planning any "Swift" healing.

 

[Riggs]

OK yeah I forgot about his travels.


I'll ask him tonight. Also for you, Henry, am I right to assume that for your spell cackalator I need to personally add in the base DC for the spell? So if it's a Dabbler spell I will add in 10 myself at the end?

[Oh I see, I didn't check out the first blank to see that pulldown was different!]

Riggs,

Don't have the book in front of me...but Apptitude is ranks + magnitude bonus + CHA bonus only (no synergy bonuses). So, if you have 12 ranks + 1st Mag (+4) + 2 CHA bonus (14 CHA), you would have 18 Aptitude.

Also, I will be DMing off my laptop and will have King Henry's spell calc up and running for use on the fly.

ha-HA! Prepared as a boy scout, I am - except without the boy scout time logged.

Rel, I got your phone message - expect to see me as per usual around 7 to 7:30 - probably closer to 7, as I'm taking x327 to Ten-Ten and don't have to travel clear to Cary, this time.

Unless Old One house-ruled it, it's just Ranks + Mag, no CHA bonus. If he had 12 ranks + 4 1st mag, that's 16 Magic Ap -- same as my character.

I feel flattered. Cool!

 

[Rel]

Well, I made it home and I'll see you guys starting in a couple of hours. Just enough time for me to clean the entire house, do my last minute adventure prep work and fill out TWO character sheets for Old One's game (grumble grumble - it takes a special kind of Rat Bastard to make you fill out two character sheets for a one-shot game ).

I picked up our BBQ on the way home so I didn't see this:

Ack! I'm up for BBQ as well!

...until I got here.

Given the large quantities of BBQ currently sitting in my fridge, we'll probably have enough, Shemeska. But if you eat a lot or want to be on the safe side I'd pick up an extra PDQ from Ole Time on the way here. There should be plenty of hot dogs and such to make sure nobody goes hungry.

See y'all in just a bit and cross your fingers for our weather to hold out!

 

[Henry]

Around lunchtime, I just completed making final preps, filling my car with all the requisite petrochemicals, and printing out some game materials (shh!) so I'm ready to go - except for the pesky 5:00 part.

 

[Henry]

I'm out the door, gang! See you soon!

 

[Templetroll]

Alas, I must cancel my attending. Work issues won't permit it. Have a blast. I' cannot delete my places on the other site; please let the GMs know.

Hope to see you on the next one!

Hi Guys,

Damn! This gameday crept up on me, and I completely forgot to register for anything. Do any AM events have an open slot?
