OOC: Tholestia: also XP and GP tracking etc.

Questions:How do you calculate HP after con drain BTW?

Ron, do you keep tack op HP ( I did as well)
I still would like to have my stupid boots changed and I still have to select a new feat (rule change etc), right?

thnx in advance....

You lose hp. Think of it as though you are tracking damage instead, and suddenly your max hitpoint total changes, but you still have the same damage.

I suggest you track your own hitpoints, though I will every now and then calculate them as well.

You need to select a feat, and I will change your item into either a ring or a gem, not quite sure yet.

Tycho sings to cast a spell and than continues to inspire courage
I forgot that to cast a spell, a bard has to sing.

So it should say: "Tycho starts singing and singing. He moves... bla,bla,bla"

An obviously Elven Wraith suddenly emerges from the darkness and very quickly flies behind Kheldev in a flanking position with the halfling.

I thought the halfling was blind. Isn't it so that you can't flank with a blinded companion?

Stop metagaming! You are reading things into my post which aren't even there!

Don't be an apple cake...

All I am saying is that I thought that the Halfling was blinded. And if he is we prob. take knowledge of it by the way in which he will act after being blinded. Hence my OOC remark. It isn't metagaming since it is OOC. So it was Take Wiegersma making the remark just in general. I thought that you might have forgotten about it.

ps. The reason why I thought he was blinded by Tycho's spell:

but the halfling wraith does seems to be affected by the Glitterdust spell*
* so take that into account people, I won't do that for you! Spell description in Take's post..

Alright, I'll humour you this time: though I think the rules mught get in the way of roleplaying here.

The Elven wraith has a fly speed of 90 ft (perfect maneuverability). He moves into flanking position. Does he know whether the halfling wraith is blinded? Perhaps. Perhaps people would be able observe it, and if they stand there for a round and do nothing but observe the halfling they certainly will know whether it is the case. Otherwise they might notice the halfling acting all clumsly: but hardly a second or so has passed by now, so I doubt whether most people would have found out. But hey, my monsters make decision based on likeliness instead of nothing but the rules

I just see the absolute milking of all rules infromation out of the situation as less than stellar roleplaying. Try to think what your character would do, even if he didn't have any stats at all: he sees a wraith come from the darkness and attack the dwarf. The wraith seems to be teaming up with the halfling, but the halfling seems to be acting clumsily - or isn't he?

To go back to the rules, there are many things that could be the case: he might have the Blindsight feat or ability for instance. How would you know? You don't. If you act in character and leave the rules in the hands of the DM*, I assure you the game will be a lot more enjoyable. If you try to distill a statblock from the way I play my mosnters, you aren't focussing on the situation at hand.

Instead of thinking why the ferrari goes at 300kph, just enjoy the fact that it does.

* and yes, I know that has been a problem for me in the past as well.

And all I though was that Ron forgot about the blindness.... How wrong I was to get it all spelled out. Sorry, from now on I will assume that you are aware of everything. But hey, no hard feelings.

(Don't forget the time you kept my character alive even though he was already below zero, that was a mistake which I pointed out and because indeed you were wrong, you weren't all over me with ruling-, and metagaming-poep. So sorry...)

Oh and a to keep it light...

I am not saying I am infallible - I just don't need people pointing out the obvious. If anything isn't clearly wrong, it is probably not worth bothering the DM about.

For instance, you could have easily have pointed out that it is very unlikely that the glitterdust spell would work at all on an incorporeal creature without eyes. But hey

Can't we create a max waiting time rule for people to respond when they haven't notified that they are on vacation or busy otherwise? Surely either the DM (if he has time) or someone else can make a move for an AFK (no reference)

We have been fighting con draining critters in this wood for way too long now. I'm starting to loose my interest here...

Truth be told, moves are every 24 hours. I just didn't think people would like me complaining about that too. Henceforth moves shall be every 24 hours. No action posted is no action undertaken: If in a hurry and can't post just say you delay your action till after someone elses, to buy yourself some time, or appoint another player to make your move for you, with their consent of course.

For now, I'll delay Wulf to initiative 9. Ilan, you're up.
