OOC Thread for Scotley's Tomb of Horror's 3.5

[Leif]

Well, in the context of this running joke, that could be seen as equating Ford (cars) with bodily waste or bathrooms. And I happen to know that our DM has a vintage '64.5 Ford Mustang named "Marie" that was his treasured and prized possession back in the day....

But I know that's not what you meant Dad. Just showing off my knowledge of Scotley trivia!

 

[Scotley]

What do you mean 'was'? She still is a prized possession. Even if she is languishing in a barn in the wilds of Arkansas until I get a few grand in the bank for proper restoration.

If you go with the Amer Indian take on your character then

Harrison Frolics with Wild Bears...

Okay, utter silliness is me this morning. I shall desist and put this all behind me now...

Hey, Scott, I'm looking into that character conversion we've been discussing, and it is looking pretty doable. Original gear outlay was only 25,000, so there can be a lot of upgrade there. I'll let you know by email what I finally come up with, including history revisions.

 

[Scotley]

do you do crits on the crits?

An interesting question was raised in the IC thread today. I think it might be reasonable to say that if a roll to confirm a threat is a natural 20, not just in the threat range, then the attack does maximum damage on all dice.

My reasoning for saying a full natural twenty rather than just threat range stems from a dual elven thin blade wielding duskblade with an 11 bab, improved two weapon fighting, improved crit and power crit that would be doing triple and quadruple crits nearly every round.

Comments?

Cool, I shall be watching my inbox with anticipation...

Glad to hear you still plan on doing the restoration! Think Andrea will let us cruise for chicks when Marie is restored to her former glory?

I want that exact duskblade dude to be Gnurl's cohort in your Island Empire Game!

sounds very fair to me!!

 

[Leif]

Max damage twice on a double crit? Sounds better than we deserve!

Ya know ... i made a post this morning and it seems to have flown off the thread. the same had happened on another thread from last night that had dissappeared by the morning! what's up with that?

Re-Post:

in honor of my one of my favorite actors, Harrison Ford, I was thinking of maybe:

Harrison Bently or Harrison Mercedes.

 

[Leif]

Why not "Harrison Hyundai" or "Harrison Toyota"??
That way, he'd be a People's Hero!
