The City Beautiful - (Over)

[Someone]

Notice that Ozan has just run out of a psionic organization, and he´s not likely to allow himself to be used by another group of manipulative powermongers. I could see, however, the other psions being part of the Cabal of pure thought, -or other branches of it, if this is the exception to the rule of psions not being too organized- if they also want to distance from it.

yeah, i made the adjustments. the spot/listen have +2 bonuses for my lizard familiar (a nice tropical touch i thought) and +2 racial bonus.

let me know if there's anything else.

 

[Evilhalfling]

so Ozan and Sparrow were from the Cabal of pure thought and both are fleeing from it.
Assuming that Ralan has some reason to have left his group as well and we have the core of the party. Thaimon seems to be unconnected, but since he is also in hiding physical proximity is likely - thats four, if there are'nt any more takers we will still looking at a tuesday start.

oh the RG is up - along with some quotes from my Urban Planning Texbooks.
Ohlmstead designed NYC city park and the Capitol Mall in DC.

Evilhalfling, I think you should give a minute to think on how will you handle the Elans´ abilities (or for that matter, all immediate actions). They could be somewhat disruptive in a play by post. For example, if an Elan is hit, would you stop to ask if he uses his Resilience ability, and how many points does he spend? I think the solution would be making them swift -of free- actions instead of immediate, but that would make them slightly less powerful.

 

[Evilhalfling]

Hmm I was making some bad assumptions.
I guess Elans should state how much damage they will deflect if they are hit - perhaps just as standing rule for each character, that can be changed each turn./battle if necessary.
for instance Alberon has 11 hp, his rule of thumb is not to spend any on resilance, but if he is reduced to 5 or less than he will spend 1 psp each time he is hit.
the party is attacks an ogre so on his first turn Alberon changes his rules to spend 2 pts if he is hit. (btw) elans can spend psp = 1/2 hd or manifester level, whichever is greater, minmum 1.

Resistance can only be declared before hand, really since once the spell is cast its too late.
perhaps something like - if an opponent begins casting, are you going to use resilence or not?
This will make resistance less useful Im afraid. Any alternate suggestions?

since it seems we might have lost a couple of players who expressed interest, perhaps you should change the heading of this thread back to "seeking players" rather than alternates. i always find five is the ideal number, though i'm happy to go with four.

 

[lotuseater]

oh yeah, i had one other question. i'm working on my final character description, and wanted to know if i should use the physical characteristics(hair, eyes, etc) of gray elves, or if you had anything special in mind.

cheers,

[Evilhalfling]

Nope grey elf descriptions are fine -

 

[Temujin]

If there's any room I'd like to get in. I have a rogue ready, but if there's another position that needs filling, I'd take that.

 

[Rkhet]

Are there any openings left? I might play a cleric.
