OOC - [d20 Cthulhu - Fathers]

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I wasn't expecting an answer, i'm betin this guys gonna be found ripped up and tossed in the big dig!

 

[Valkys]

from your descriptions I feel I have met the motherly woman.

Woohoo!! Goal 1 accomplished. You're supposed to like some of these NPCs. It's called motivation.

And I feel really good now, since I now know that my descriptions got across what was important about her.

 

[Valkys]

Oh! If anyone dies or is otherwise incapacitated, I have a heap of NPCs that can become PCs in a pinch. Shalimar has dibs on whichever of her roomies she wants, Cynthia excluded. LOL.

 

[Shalimar Shiawase]

But I don't like them, they are all too tough and unladylike. I have to survive, and I will. I have mittens and she wont let anything happen to me she is Hastur you know.

 

[Valkys]

LOL. Vanessa is very Lady-like. Maybe even more than Sharrel. And they're still your friends, just a bit... different than you. It's all about diversity.

And dscrank: I've never been to fond of the remorseless bit either. I'm throwing in humour when I can. Not in huge bundles, but this Cthulhu campaign has room for that.

Does anyone object?

 

[Tay-Dor]

Geeze...start the game before I'm even half-done with my character. gah...

oh well..I won't be posting til my character is done. I should get the rule book tomorrow..err..later today (Tuesday). I don't feel comfortable participating until I get a sence of my character's personality...which hasn't come together yet.

 

[Tay-Dor]

Read the game thread so far. Looks interesting

Tho it would sure be a lot easier on my eyes if the text wasn't colored. The red is fine, but the blue is almost impossible to read.

man...I gotta get my character done so I can play.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Just wanted to say that I'm enjoying this so far. I really like my old Granny.

 

[Valkys]

So, I'm considering the following House Rule with regards to psychic abilities:

If you get a natural 20, or beat the DC by 10 or more, you don't take ability damage or lose sanity.

I'm consider something similar for spells, probably a spellcraft check(to give the skill more usefulness), with the same rules, and the DC based on the range of the spell. Self: DC 15, 30ft DC 20, etc. And I think it makes sense, as the higher level you are, the more power you're messing with, hence range increases as does the DC.

Thoughts and Feedback?

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

That sounds good to me.

The only real problems I've seen is the extremely limited use of psychokinesis.

5 lbs. isn't much at all. Maybe another feat that increases it to 25lbs.?


Maybe an entire feat chain is needed.

Improved Psychokinesis: Requirements: Psychokinesis
Effect: Can lift 50 lbs. (Increased Sanity cost)

Pyrokinesis: Requirements: Psychokinesis, Imp. Psychokinesis
Effect: Same as the Combust spell. (Or whatever it is called.)

Cryokinesis: Requirements: Psychokinesis, Imp. Psychokinesis
Effect: Reverse of the Combust spell. (Or whatever it is called.)

Greater Psychokinesis: Requirements: Psychokinesis, Improved Psychokinesis
Effect: Can lift 200 lbs. (Increased Sanity cost)

Psychokinetic Construct: Requirements: Psychokinesis, Improved Psychokinesis
Effect: Can created objects of pure psychokinetic force.

True Psychokinesis: Requirements: Psychokinesis, Improved Psychokinesis, Greater Psychokinesis
Effect: Can lift 1000 lbs. (Increased Sanity cost)

Master Psychokinesis: Requirements: Psychokinesis, Improved Psychokinesis, Greater Psychokinesis, True Psychokinesis
Effect: Can lift 5000 lbs. (Increased Sanity cost; ALOT!)


If you increase the Sanity cost, they will be on par with some of the spells and have about the same cost.
