Realmsian Dragonstar: The Battle of Toril PbP Game [OOC] (Game Cancelled)

Had this all prepped to send the other day but iPhone didn't send for some reason!

Re: FB group I am a member now!

By default 3.5 rules DR isn't applicable, things like Fire resistance are because the Sunsword deals fire damage, not physical damage.

That said, you can have it work however you want, it is your game after all!

the wall was the bearing of travel the scan was general I was assuming the silhouette to be my self sorry for my misunderstanding comparative time scale for in or out of initiative lock as no placement ways how ever irrelevant was given as to movement order placement to clarify time and movement scale different DMs handle it different ways A question ask but never clarified
My plan was to clarify it this morning, but then you posted again, and I admit I got bit upset. Plus, I also admit I'm having some problems understanding your questions sometimes. (I think I remember that you're from Quebec, so I've assumed French is your preferred language, right?)

As to IR under my base suet description systems includes Digital Binocular the ones pg.107 Starfarer's Handbook are capable of several settings IR being one of them

I may be working under a false conclusions

a bit of a trend of late
Ah, I see that now.

Okay, so your integrated digital binoculars increase your sight range by 25x, which would make the standard 920 feet sight range 23,000 feet or roughly 4.4 miles without the bonus from using the attached vid-screen. (I'll calculate that in a minute.) I would still say that the max range won't work to full effect during the day, but it would be very useful at night. During the day, I'd cut it by half unless it's cloudy, which is sort of is right now.

EDIT: Okay, so I gave your PC a +2 bonus to Spot, which won't increase his visual range, but it will help him spot dangers as long as he has line of sight.

Also, I'd say, even with a cloudy day, the IR part of his binoculars would have it's effectiveness reduced by 1/3rd in his current conditions. So, he spotting distance with IR is only 15,330 feet or 2.9 miles. If it was clear and sunny, it would be 11,500 feet or 2.2 miles.

I dinna have Facebook. But I check in frequently here.

I do have a general question about the efficacy of Invisibility versus high tech. It's nothing that would affect my behavior IC until and unless Silhouette learns of it, but just for my own understanding...what sort of tech will detect a character made invisible via magic?

Also, as a roleplaying hook, Silhouette will clearly be very interested in learning to use and acquiring this strange new 'magic' for herself. She has some advantages in doing so, being as intelligent as a wizard, but with greater ability to wield weapons and wear armor. What's involved in exploring this technology, mechanically?

Shayuri helped me sort it out. Plus, the SFH (and the other DS books) isn't a masterful rulebook for figuring things out. Plus, it's for 3.0, so not everything from it is as it should befor v.3.5. We will figure things out s we go.

I'm probably going to treat your ancient sunsword as a magical weapon since it is so powerful. While it doesn't have a magic plus to attack, it is now considered magical for bypassing DR and has a +1 to attack rolls as if it was just a masterwork weapon (no bonus to damage [like it needs it]). I'll work out some detailed stats for it, as soon as I can. :)
 

Hm. Binoculars able to sense heat radiation with enough sensitivity to form images...but able to screen out false positive readings with that sensitivity...at 3 miles is definitely ultra-tech. We might get that performance from a vehicle-mounted system...but hand held would be a challenge. :)
 

I am not may I join ?
Yes, you may. I think I'd sent you the link through Facebook at one point but that account seems to have gone dark. I wasn't able to PM you through it. You have a new FB account, I take it?

EDIT: Request approved.

Note that Davik's digital binoculars are integrated into his hardsuit, so he doesn't have access to them unless he's fully armored, which makes him stick out on a fantasy world. Plus, remember that the IR acts like blindsight, in game terms, so any magical effect that defeats blindsight also defeats the digital binoculars. They work based on vibrations and echolocation, so sound attacks would be bad for Davik. Plus, he has to have line of effect.
 

Okay, so IR is not 'infrared?'

It's Blindsight...with a 3 mile range? :)

As far as I know, there's no magical effect that defeats Blindsight, sadly. Though from what you're saying, a Zone of Silence might help...
