Planescape - Dead God Rising ~OOC

[Raylis]

I have fond memories of the Baldur's Gate rolling system

 

[Dire Lemming]

It's pretty much guaranteed that it'll be point buy only. Allowing rolling would cause complaints about balance. Same reason the RPGA "Living" games uses point buy. Now days the gaming industry is ruled by greed. If one way leads to more profit developers will follow it, regardless of any other details. It doesn't help that most people will eat whatever they're fed and insist that they enjoy it, viciously insulting anyone who disagrees. I personally don't think it's possible to get people to think for themselves, people like being controled. So the only way to get things the way you want them is by convincing the mindless masses that they want them that way too. Control the consumers, control greed. I've got no idea how to do that though.

and all that... leads to points buy rather than rolling! lol

i do agree with you regarding balance, expecially with multiplayer games, where youd get some poor guy sticking with his first rolls and someone else like me ) rolling ad nauseum until he struck gold. its not really fair.

Just another reason I prefer my CRPGs single player.

 

[Nalfeshnee]

it is your action now btw

 

[Nalfeshnee]

[sblock=rowport]how are you planning on meeting the non-game prerequisites for your prestige class? because... there could be a high-up doomguard watching at any time, if you know what i mean[/sblock]

Nuan's Plans

[sblock=Nalfeshnee]Honestly, I had kind of lost track of the PrC prereqs focusing on the immediate actions! That sounds kind of like what Nuan would do, anyway! LOL

Well, he needs to:
1. Sunder a weapon
2. Scatter 500 gp into a crowd
3. Destroy a building

He will not get the Improved Sunder feat until next level, which will make #1 very difficult, and does not have enough jink for #2 yet. And #3... I have no idea! Once he levels up I imagine that the first two would be easy enough to accomplish, and I will have time to think about #3- maybe using a Necklace of Fireballs and/or Alchemist's Fire to burn a building down. As for getting the witnesses, he is nothing if not subtle so I imagine that getting the Doomguard's attention should not be a problem. If nothing else, he will continue to fairly loudly proclaim its principles in public settings, as he did in the inn at the start of the game.[/sblock]

OOC: Also, in case I miss a post when I fly out tomorrow, I posted all of Nuan's actions and rolls for his next round. It is in the game post (edited) from earlier today.

 

[Nalfeshnee]

Yes thanks, i read it in the IC thread. ill keep track of that for you

 

[A'koss]

Just to let you know, I'm at work right now and won't be able to post for 6-7 hours yet. If you want Nalfeshnee, you can make my action for me.

First I'll reactivate the child of darkness stance, then I'll use the flaming maneuver that gives me extra reach, attack the guy in front of me (and desert wind maneuvers give me extra damage), and possibly gain an AoO if that other sniper fires his crossbow before my next action.

Thanks!

 

[Nalfeshnee]

sure but it is your round right now! ill do thea action for you if you can't post
