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

[Knightfall]

Knightfall, I'm assuming that a Beguiler is a kind of sorcerer, in terms of how their magic is understood by other arcanists? I have some flavor/fluff in mind for why Silhouette's powers are based on Intelligence rather than Charisma, but aside from that a Beguiler works mostly like a sorcerer in terms of mechanics...

Just trying to make sure I have my story straight before I try to post it publicly.

If that's how you want to interpret it, I'm find with it. Beguilers are described in PHB2 as being master manipulators, so I tend to seen them as roguish wizards with a bent for deception and intrigue. However, they are spontaneous casters, so you can say that Silhouette is indeed like a sorcerer.

Shazer'a is a Half-Dragon Duskblade/Abjurant Champion/Imperial Legionnaire (former), scion of House Golion (Copper Dragon Royal house) of the Dragon Empire.

Nelalwe is an air gnome Wizard/War Weaver/Arcane Devotee, weesham (soul keeper) to Shazer'a. She is his keeper, companion, and ultimate guard of Shaz's soul.

Knightfall, ok thanks. I figured they don't have spellbooks and so on...

It makes a difference for Sil's background.

A rifle's bayonet is like a spear is a piercing weapon. Can it be set to receive a charge like a spear like they were in the revolutionary war.

Normally, for a spear or longspear, a character can use the ready action to set such a weapon against a charge. But it has to be done before being charged not after. It doesn't give that option for the bayonet listed in the Starfarer's Handbook, so I'm have to say probably not, but I will check the Modern Reference Document to see if there is rule for d20 Modern.

I'll reply to the rest of your post tomorrow. I spent tonight watching some TV and Terminator: Genisys.

To set a spear against a charge, you actually plant the blunt end of it in the ground, or against something behind you. You can't really do that with a modern rifle. They're not long enough.

you are not going to find many references on or about melee tactics or application in a game focused on ranged combat. the most likely reference but they had nether bayonets or rifles as OGL 3.5 is the default source is written for the time it was set in a archaic setting I do not know of any mention beyond that time period of setting the lack rules of implies the use educated us of intuition. D20 mentions it but no detail and doesn't mention readying against charges and Dragon star doesn't even have charging rules.

In Dragonstar you are looking for charging or counter charging in a campaign setting were charging dose not exist?

A bayonet is a blade on a stick that shoots a spear is a blade on the end of a stick what is the difference other than shooting. they are parallel to the point of having the same game statistics. except the ability to slash

Is a bayonet the same as a spear that can slash?

the charging I'm not contesting with you just pointing out this may be one of many snags since 3.5 is likely a repeated reference equivalents will have to be made sense the settings are so different.

As to the setting it was proactive not retroactive to the next round.

A pike it braced against the ground a spear or rifle is braced against the body more like a lance and you. pike requires placing against the ground because it you attempting to unhorse someone you are not only dealing with his momentum but the horses as well.

I don't know I have seen it both ways. in the sca though I will concede against some pigs you are grateful to be able to ground the end I'll give you that much

 

[Shayuri]

If I send you a dollar can we pretend I never brought it up?

I debated because you found something I was interested in I was enjoying talking to some one with similar interest that seemed to have a clue not because I was upset but I always come off like that language gap my word choice can turnout wrong
