Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

Aww, ye of little faith. I wub you all so very much, and I wouldn't do anything to you that you wouldn't want. No, really.

See for yourself when you have your next session and check out my suggestions.

For all the screwing with us, etc, I know shil wouldn't do anything that would kill our character concepts. It would make it not fun for us, and thusly not fun for him. He would do something to slowly torture us.

Now given that I have felt most of his love for the past two years, and Nameless is just starting to get some of his love, I think I am the most safe of the group. Korm is probably the most screwed over.

::chuckles:: Great update.

I forget- did the angels suffer any lingering effects of the wastes after they teleported out?

Edit: Shilsen, another question as well. In your game- what mechanic would allow the players to not be as affected by Sora Katra? High Wisdom/Sense Motive? High Diplomacy themselves? Anything...? Nothing jumps out as me as a check against cha/diplmacy- hence why i'm asking how you'd handle it!

Not that Shilsen has mentioned to us...

Thanks. It was amusing during the session to have her say things and then add the little bit about how the PCs took it. Soon a couple of the players were doing so themselves.

As Rackhir said, not that they noticed.

I follow the basic rule that NPCs cannot influence PC attitudes through Diplomacy (DMG, pg. 128). Instead, what I do is roleplay the more dilpomatic NPCs as more persuasive, and leave it up to the PCs to respond as they wish. Here, simply because her Diplomacy was so godawfully high, I added the flavor angle where her speaking directly to someone would momentarily create a favorable impression, without actually forcing the PCs to go along with it. The compromise worked well, I think.

It's going to take a few days for the next update, since I'm going to be focusing rather on all the nice things I'll be giving the PCs when we play on Saturday. If you want a little more of my stuff to tide you over, you can check out a semi-fictional piece (semi, because it does apply to a campaign where I run Cedric as a PC) I wrote regarding Cedric's achievement of paladinhood. It's in the World's Worst Paladin thread I have in my sig, and the link to the piece itself is here.

Yea it made for tricky RPing. While most of the group do not care about alignment Gareth obviously does, so yea for him it was about "yea she is nice" followed by "eww i feel icky for thinking that." It's like looking at a hot 17 year old and thinking dirty thoughts, then realizing you are 22+.

We played today, and I dispensed many benefits and sorrows The suggestions which were made on the thread I'd put up on the General RPG Discussion board were very handy, so thanks to all who contributed.

I'm still busy as heck, but I'm hoping to have the next update up around mid-week.

I am not happy with two of Gareth's changes. I want my money back.

But didn't you like being a Paladin again?

You know what ingrates players tend to be!

Let me put it this way. After I told the players that their PCs were permanently losing 2 pts of Con, but would now have a permanent +4 enhancement bonus to all six stats, +4 resistance to saves, +4 enhancement bonus to natural armor, and +3 deflection bonus to AC, Rackhir complained about the negative to Con

On a related note, considering all the stuff they have, I'm wondering about where my PCs fall on the power level scale in comparison to most of those being played by others out there. So I've started a thread about it here:

He stopped complaining after the +spell casting bonus.

Eh, the power level scale doesn't work too well for your campaign. First off, your NPCs all have elite array of stats, and all have 75% of max health (where the MM's give half). Second, your mobs are particularly nasty. We have always been up and above the "traditional" power scale, and you manage to "kill" one of us at least every other adventure.

Gareth is not happy about the green patch and the bumps - Gareth's character is about the diplomacy, the look of things, and the social aspect...so that may not bode well. The other group members are less caring what others think(hence Gareth has a 26 diplomacy, and the other group members have none).

But se la vi'.
