Traipsing Across Khorvaire - High Adventure in Eberron (OOC) [Closed]

[Widowmaker]

I don't think you are missing anything. I think it maybe wrong on my sheet, but I can't check the paper sheet. I left it at your house. All I can say is that I took it from the paper sheet. I got the info from you as far the fractunal saves go. So that is all I can think of. It probably is an 8 and I put 9. Sorry!

How many hit points of damage have I taken. I think 9 points but I think I am wrong. If you know please post it. I know I can't take to much before to long.

*Hangs head in shame* I forgot about the fractional base bonuses. I don't have UA in front of me, but I think you got 2.5 for each level giving you a +5 base reflex save. Sorry. I'll go back and edit the post, not that it is enough to make a difference.

You have taken 6 points of damage out of a total of 18. What are you worried about? You have enough to take on the Tarrasque.

Bring on the Tarrasque. And the Gazebo while your at it I will shoot it with my heavy x-bow and then cast fireball at it. And then I will take on the tarrasque with one arm behind my back and blindfolded. Ohh you said tarrasque. RUN! MOMMY!!!

No, I was having problems finding all my damage. I counted six but I thought I had taken more. Still if I have to fight I would like to be at least above 1/2.

I have a question. When (and if I am allowed to level up by the killer GM, i.e. waiting for the "Your Dead, Game Over" post. And student of Ken gamemastering of never allowing to level up.) I level up I was wondering if I could buy a level of knowledge (Airships). How much would this cost me?

Level up!?! Ha! What do you think this is? Some kind of game? I'm tempted to take away one of your levels for having the audacity to think about this. In fact, I have dispatched the Gazebo Assault Team to your house. They will deal with you how they see fit.

Although, I suppose, if by some fluke, you gained a level in the future, you could probably buy two ranks as a class skill due to exposure and then after that it would be cross-class. Assuming you managed to cheat your way into getting another level that is. Don't count on it.

You can use a move action to attempt to blind someone. It would be a ranged-touch attack with a -4 penalty. If you are blinded you suffer penalties to most actions. I would rule that he could spend a full-round action to clear his eyes out or take the penalties for 1d4 rounds.

If you want to bluff in combat, you make a Bluff roll opposed by your opponent's Sense Motive. He gets to add his BAB. If you succeed he loses his Dex mod to AC on your next attack. It is a standard action to execute this, so you would not get to make an attack until your next turn.

Thorn is between you and the ropes going up to the Iron Hammer, but you can still move around him. You could do a double move and get to the ropes and begin to climb up them, if you want.

Behind you is the raised dais where the pilot's wheel is. There is piles of wood and rubble strewn around, some in piles 3-4' high. The ropes and the remains of the elemental ring holder are on the other side of Thorn. There are a few holes in the deck from falling debris.

I should have said that trying to blind someone is an attack action, otherwise it is too powerful.

I mentioned before that you can use action points to increase your AC. Increase it by the amount you roll and it lasts until your next turn. Another use for action dice is to heal yourself. You can spend an action dice to heal yourself a number of hit points equal to your roll. You can do this only once per day.

Couple of questions and one change and two comments.

To increase AC with action points - What type of action is that?
Same to heal on self - What type of action? (Free, Standard, Attack)

Comment - You might want to post the above info to the house rules area.

I was thinking about some novels and rereading the Eberron Campaign Setting. I get the feeling things are darker in the world. I know unearthed arcana gives rules for using insanity and other mental problems from truamtic events I wonder what you thought about using those. I mean Drizz't had his problems. A favorite of authors is alcoholism or drug abuse. Just wondering what you thought?

Change - I was a little distracted by a rug rat when I posted but can be shealthing my weapons as I run by Thorn?

Using an action point is always a free action.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with you resheathing your weapon as part of a movement.

As to the dark part of the dark swashbuckling aspect of Eberron, I think Sanity points are too dark. I really like the Sanity rules and I have some ideas I've been mulling for a setting that would incorporate them. Eberron is different, though. If you use sanity, then I imagine that characters are going to face things on a regular basis that are going to cause them to lose it. If it is just an occasional thing, then I think that it is pointless to use sanity, because you're not going to lose enough sanity to ever make a difference. Your example of the Undying Court is one that, while bizarre and perhaps a bit horrific, I don't see characters actually losing their minds due to seeing. Now, the daelkyr on the other hand might cause Sanity loss, but that is not going to be a common occurence.

Things like drug/alcohol abuse or Drizzt's brief decent into madness, I think, are best role-played as special circumstances. I would certainly work with a player if this was something that he or she wanted to role play.

I definitely want to have some of the dark aspect of Eberron come through, though, so don't think it's going to be all fun and games. Now, if you really want to use the Sanity rules, I can run a Call of Cthulu adventure.

I read the board and it sounds like things are wrapping up. I think things are prgressing relatively well.

Now that the Cloud Dancer is gone I will go through and edit my character to show the items I lost.

As for the potion I figured I kept one on me at all times but the other two are gone. Oh well.
