In response to the query about Gimil's thoughts on the rapes, Gimil is a jaded soul and his views on life are quite different. His earliest memories are of his clans survivors struggling just to survive the wilds and the occasional humanoid raid. This is where his "Racists " views come from. He dislikes most Demihuman races and has no use for humans. In his opinion humans will breed with anything; half orc, half elf, etc… this behavior is that of a lesser race. So when he saw the human girls being treated that way by one of their own kind it was no great surprise to him, and in fact he thought the girls should have been glad to have survived the incident. However Posy in her own way is showing Gimil that there are other ways of looking at life and the things that happen in it.

/me gives Posy a friendly bump

 

[Oghma]

Howdy, bumpers!

I've been really busy lately, but let me pass outsome Posy News. In that last game session, the party all made 8th level! Now I'm agonizing over what 4th level spell for Posy to take. Ice Storm? Improved Invisibilty? I'm not sure!

I haven't gotten that far in the actual Diary, but I'm working on writing the next installment today and tomorrow. I may have to just set a schedule and maybe guarantee a twice a week installment or something. I'm just busy!

4th lvl spell...

Hi Oghma!

Nice to hear all survived (and reached a new level)

If you want opinions on nice 4th level spells, there are:

Offensive: Coldscream, Enervation, Flaming Corrosion
Defensive: Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Stoneskin
Misc: Edvard's black tentacles, Polymorph Self

As for me i would prefer Polymorph self, since it is a very variable spell offering many possibilities or Stoneskin, granting a good deal of protection, which will benefit in almost any combat. Or of course flat-out-damage. Flaming Corrosion is especially nice, since it is a cone...

Cheers!

Uh oh ...

Don't forget the 250gp every time you cast stoneskin..... That really sucks.

I'd go with polymorph self too. Our wizard often opened the doors our rogue didn't manage. By transforming into a firegiant and kicking the wall through next to the door (He's not that good at aiming...)

Evards tentacles can be horrific as defence since Posy is a gnome... small. Rattlin will love it too, grappled enemies will suffer his sneak attacks. And perhaps it's evocation? No idea right now.

Ah it's conjuration. Too bad. But think about it, enemy spellcasters don't like it either (assuming they aren't small too ... a reduce spell saves your life sometimes!)

 

[Horacio]

Go for Polymorph Self. It's a very versatile spell.
Read Wulf story hour for some ggood uses of it

Howdy, bumpers!

I've been really busy lately, but let me pass outsome Posy News. In that last game session, the party all made 8th level! Now I'm agonizing over what 4th level spell for Posy to take. Ice Storm? Improved Invisibilty? I'm not sure!

I'm currently playing a 8th level wizard, and my recommendations are:

1. Polymorph Self. Horribly unbalanced spell. Polymorph into a troll to kick butt, polymorph into a pixie to get neat special abilities and fly. My DM has banned it.

2. Plolymorph other. Nice instant death spell (with save). Polymorph monsters into slugs, then kill them. Also banned by my DM, no instant kill at 4th level (might get it later).

3. Improved invisibility. My first spell at 4th level. Rattlin will love you, and it will help you immensely in tough fights if the monsters can't see you

4. Evards tentacles. Can be a blessing in disguise, but very neat for controlling the battlefield.

5. Minor Globe of Invulnerability. Will help Posy against those nasty spells, a bit short duration, but still very useful.

6. Stoneskin. Very good spell, but the cost is far to high to cast regularely. More usefull for wizards.

My wiazard also got Mass Darkvision and Mass Resist Elements (both from Tome&Blood), but I don't think your party need those as much as we do (and he's an abjurer, focusing on defensive magic).

These are all good suggestions! I never really looked at Evard's Black Tentacles much, but the fact that the tentacles ignore creatures smaller than Medium is rather Interesting...

I know Polymorph Self is a big favorite, but I have a little problem with it. It's a bit overpowered, and in a roleplaying sense, Posy hasn't seen many monsters. I believe to transform into an Umber Hulk, or Pixie, Posy would have to have seen or interacted with one. It's hard for me to swallow that Posy could just, *poof* know what an Umber Hulk looks like from stories or even a book. I don't think the rules address it, but it doesn't feel right.

Coldscream sounds interesting, but I don't have Eldritch Might I to take a look at it. It fits with her general "evocation" bent, though. She has Spell focus: Evocation going for her.

Improved Invis looks really good too.

*ponder*

I'll probably be home sick today, so I'll get a chance to Posify if I don't feel too yucky. Thanks for your patience and comments!
