The Realms of Enlightenment: The Grey Companions

My Gm Rocks

I played Feln, and now Ayremac on this story.

Its a great game and the story is incredible.

Jon has an incredible sense of timing, pace, and detail. He does not go overboard, but gives you enough to put a picture in your mind.

He is also, by far, most incredibly "true" to the role-playing rule...he won't tell you what to do, change the game or the dice to suite the players. When I ask him his opinion on what to do with my character, he informs me of things that I may be unaware of rules wise, or a possible track I may have not considered, but never leads me one direction or another.

I often wish I would win the lottery so I could pay Jon to do daily turns instead of weekly.

Jon, Happy GM Day, your the absolute best and I thank you very much for providing me with something that I so very much enjoy

Our GM does rock. He is twisted, cruel and evil. Will all of this butt kissing get me any XPs? Oh yeah the person who had said he cant wait for Huzair to get a butt-kicking....well I am trying to get a rise out of Morier. It does not seem to be working that well. It was one of my goals....the player is too composed to do such a thing.

Happy Belated GM DAY.

"I wonder what set the trap off the second time," Ayremac muttered, as he listened to the mechanism whir and click in the wall. "Is it just going to continually go now?"

"This trap be mechanical nae magical so there be some sort o' the laws o' Mechanus at work 'ere," Karak said dragging his fingers thoughtfully through his beard as he pondered. "Which means that once the trap be triggered it'll continue to go off. Which means there has to be a trigger to stop it." Huzair shook his head.

"Laws of Mechanus?" he snorted. "You have no idea what you are talking about, do you?" Karak's lip curled back from his teeth and his face darkened.

"I di'nae hear you offering a better suggestion," the dwarf growled and Huzair waved off the comment.

I submit it's a Murphy's Law, in that PCs trying to figure out what said trap does, will invariably set off trap and thereby getting a really good look at what it does to their bodies.

Wow Jon, 4 fan replies before an update! That's got to qualify you for demi-god status at least.

It's certainly noteworthy for this story hour, but compared to some of the monolithic stories on these boards, it's bt a drop in the proverbial bucket.

It still makes me happy, though.

*Bow, Glad to be of service dear sir...

Bares his teeth unnoticed by himself and brushes his whiskers in response..

I can't speak for the were-tiger bit, but with the ascetic mage feat and the enlightened fist prestige class, the monk/sorcerer is definitely a playable concept.

But i need the feline bit added, and that costs me a whopping 9 lvl's, 6 equal to the tigers HD and +3 lvl adj. from were,
so a lvl 1 monk were tiger will be equiv. of 10th lvl , o well, patience...

Not much to add, other than to say it looks like interesting times, and that I'm still reading

Nah...what you need is a catfolk, from Races of the Wild. Big strength bump, decent dex and wis bump, ECL +2. That's much more palitable, IMO. Both the monk and the spellcasting class have reasons not to want too huge of a level adj.; you'll never get to the really cool class abilities pre-epic with a were-tiger.
