OoC Thread - Strife in Sokara - A solo game for Brother Shatterstone

[Jarval]

Just found you e-mail with the PGtF feats. I'm happy for you to take Twin sword Style, don't really think Swift and Silent fits Brystasia at all, but Forester seems perfect for her. So that's two out of three that I'm OK with you using

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Well, I'm a bit inclined to tweak my characters once they've been made, so really I'm just giving you the same leeway I like to have myself

Yeah I'm much of the same myself... Looking through the PGtF the swift feat I sent you was also perfect for a character I made something like 8 months ago and I'm still contemplating asking the DM if I can retool a little bit.

To be honest, I'm rather expecting to get another flurry of e-mails a few days after you get a copy of the Complete Divine It might make it on to my own to-buy list, but I tend to wait for a few reviews to come out before I buy anything. I've avoided a couple of bad purchases that way (why yes Deities and Demigods, I'm looking at you ).

I must admit I don't use the Deities and Demigods all that often but I don't mind owning a copy of it... Then again I think there is only 3 books I don't have for D&D, Modern, and Star Wars collectively.

I'll try not to disappoint with the Complete Divine, I have high hopes for the series after getting the complete warrior. (I do have it preordered also. )

It really depends on how focused you intend Brystasia to be on the Lightblade and/or the Thinblade. Weapon Focus does open up the way for some other weapon specific feats, but I don't think it's a must by any means.

Angle and deadly like a cat, so yeah I do have plans to get it I was actually referring to rather or not it would be a better as a starting feat.

Oh yeah, like a big cat not no house kitten that rubes up against your leg when you get home…

Swift is a cool feat and I could see her moving that silently but I do agree with you it probably is a feat better suited for someone else.

Two out of three and I can only have one of them… Decisions, decisions… A true master with two weapons or a gentle forest creature at home in her native land… *sigh* sometimes I hate not being a power gamer…

I’ll go with the Forester. I’ll look my feats over in a secound. (or maybe when I get home.)

Just to make sure I don't do anything silly the Compass, dock and such are all in this town right? (No major travel is such)

Also on a side note, and if you don't mind, could you edit the title of this thread and "push" the OOC from the right hand side all the way to the left hands side? (it's just easier to read which thread got replied to when I'm in my email.)

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Oh I know this is probably a painful idea, but if you could color the text for each character differently I would appreciate it but it's okay if you don't want too.

Yup, it's all in Marlock City, only a short distance away from the Lyceum. Aymara's temples tend to be built close to any other theaters.

No problem at all. I'll go change it right now

Easily done, and probably a very good idea given that I'm playing every character you're going to be talking with. Do you want me to go back and edit the previous posts, or should I leave them as they are?

I'm probably being a bit unfair to D&DG, but BotR is so much more what I want in a god book. Still, all the extra domains and such in D&DG must come in handy.

Oh yeah, like a big cat not no house kitten that rubes up against your leg when you get home...

What gives you the idea that house kittens aren't swift and deadly? I take it you don't own a cat...

Cool.

Great, I would have pressed on but I figured I had made more than a few actions that you would need to reply too. Besides I figured it was a good stopping point anyways. (Poor Ged.)

Great, I do appreciate it... Sometimes when I'm at work I steal a few minutes to reply to something, sometimes I have the time to do an IC, but sometimes it's only enough time to do an OOC thread and Earthlink's webmail isn't the best for navigation.

PS friendly reminder: you still haven't don it.

Aye, it would help me out allot... I'm horrible with remembering names, I'm one of those people who can remember a date, and even in a game like Majin's I still don't know more than a few character names without looking...

If you don't mind editing the previous post. I'm more worried about my companions but I guess major NPC could/should have a color also but only if their recurring and it's obvious. (Mariele would be a good example if she is reacquiring, but the recurring BBEG that is dressed as a street vender wouldn't be.)

Anyhow, this is an amazing game I’m loving every second of it and I don’t see that changing either.

Good call. I've just posted, so feel free to carry on. I'll take you on to the Compass once you've replied to anything that Hestia and Ged have said that you think needs a response.

Hey, if it makes you life easier, there's no reason why I shouldn't do it. Which I now have...

Done. I'm using orange text for Hestia's dialogue, sky blue text for Ged's speech, and red for Mariele. I may have to recycle some of the NPC colours, as there's a limit to the number of colours that are legible against EN World's background scheme, but I'll keep any colours used for other members of Brystasia's party exclusive to them alone.

Anyhow, this is an amazing game I’m loving every second of it and I don’t see that changing either.

Now that is high praise Thanks, and I'm glad you're enjoying it. I'm having a tremendous time running it

That looks marvelous.

Thanks for fixing it and hopefully my work will not be so predominant in my thoughts for hear on out and my posts will be better. (Bad, to horrible week of work.)

I'm going to replace the exulted feat "Gift of Grace" with the Forester feat.

But theirs a small chance I might take on an extra flaw to keep the "Gift of Grace" feat as I really see this feat being core to Brystasia but then again its my fourth feat and I’m still at level one so I have no real complaints.

Anyhow I found these home made flaws on WotC website:

Easily Distracted
You are easily distracted when performing long tasks.
Effect: You may never take 10 on any skill check.
Special: You may not take this flaw if you do not gain at least 4 skill points per level from your highest class.

I see this flaw in Brystasia but not as much as the others. (I gave this one a 2 out of the 3)

Small Frame
You are small and slender for your race.
Effect: You are treated as one size smaller for the purposes of carrying capacity, grappling, bull rushing, tripping, and overrunning.

I really like this flaw, Brystasia might be very tall girl, but if you look at her weight you can see that she’s slender and willowy. I’ve never imagined her as being strong or powerful as her 13 Strength says she should be and it’s simply there as it’s a requirement needed for Divine Might. The carrying capacity is a grave hindrance though, as the load that Brystasia has in her gear now would be a heavy load. (1 of 3)

Fragile
Your body is more vulnerable to damage and has many weak spots.
Effect: When creature attacking you rolls natural 20 on attack roll, it scores critical threat without a need of confirming it.

I’m not sure how much I like this flaw… You would be steering death in the eye for nearly your whole life but early in your adventure career you would be more likely to get cut down quickly. (3 of 3)

On other maters, will you be posting Ged’s and Hestia’s character sheets in the RG anytime soon?

EDIT

Okay, a few hours have passed, a little over four to be exact, and I’ve convinced myself that Small Frame is perfect for Brystasia.

All of those combat skills she should be poor at and she shouldn’t be a pack mule so I’ll work on leasing her load. This would be easier if I knew what Ged and Hestia are carrying. I did equip Brystasia with the notion that many of her items that I picked up would be pushed to others in the group.

Anyhow I of course need to know if you approve of it before hand.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Somehow I miss this...

What gives you the idea that house kittens aren't swift and deadly? I take it you don't own a cat... .

Oh I do own a cat and this one if you’re a plastic bag then you better beg god for mercy upon your soul and if your something alive your probably safe.

Sad but true I've had two baby squirrels get "treed" in my apartment by my cat and both where rescued with no harm to their bodies. (One even let me pet him for a minute or two. )

Note: I don't condone violence to squirrels or other small critters I'm simply say "sad but true" about my cats hunting abilities.

Anyhow, a map? That's simply to cool. Its been a long time since I've played in a game that had one.

Just out of curiosity did you rule upon the slender frame flaw?
