Any ointment application should be done with a 'ranged touch' don't you think?

I wouldn't touch you with an eleven foot pole, much less a ten foot pole! so there will be no fight! you will have to conjure up your own ointment and apply it you self. and that is that.

on a side note: what do you think of adopting the pathfinder rule reguarding the ex cost of making magiic item? (5 gp extra per xp soulda spent) it would help to keep all of us at the same xp level, right?

Re: ointment application -- Ranged touch is out! I'll do it my dang self if necessary, as Herr Dewar said. No offense intended, but I don't even want him touching me in that way even from a distance! Now, his buxom blonde assistant is a completely different matter...

Re: Pathfinder crafting rules -- Let's keep it as D&D 3.5 rules only for now, thanks. We'll just see how it goes for now.

re: pathfinder magic item creation alternate rules

[jedi formidable mental powers] why not use the pathfinder rules. you are going to convert to pathfinder eventually. this will help you be a better dm. it would be so much easier for al [/jedi formidable mental powers]

Don't we all. (Except those fortunate enough to have one already, that is.)

Ahh, Padawan, I am not susceptible to your nascent powers! I am, however, encouraged by your progress! You have progressed very far in such a short time, and you should be able to easily control the minds of virtually any bovine in very short order, say after only 1-2 more years of intensive study!

I decided to take advantage of the offer to change up characters, and made some changes to Manny. Most significant is that I switched his Rogue level for a Sorcerer level.

This of course resulted in a cascade of other changes. New version has now replaced the old in the original post (#3, I think).

Thanks for the XP - I guess you made the circuit and were able to start over at the beginning!
The new improved Manny is definitely the cutest on the block now (switched his DEX and CHA scores to make him a better sorcerer). He's also the scariest - check out his Intimidate bonus! A scary as hell 15" bundle of joy!

You can grant additional xp to those you have already awarded after you give out a total of 50 points, so I have, indeed, done that several times over now. I have a thread posted about this, that has some good comments from two of our esteemed Moderators in it. I tried to locate the thread, but was unable to do so, unfortunately. It's in the Talking the Talk Forum, somewhere, or at least, it was.

Basically, they recommend giving points for anything you like about a post, whether it's the content itself, someone's avatar or username, or basically anything else that you find attractive about the post or poster.

Mowgli, and other interested parties:

Take a look at this thread:

Mowgli,

For once, ENWorld is working better than Yahoo for me! My computer at work is screwy, and while I can see your emails, I can't reply to them, nor can I open the .pdf. So all of that will have to wait until tonight. But I'll answer what I remember here:

Thanks for everything you've done for/with/to Houwlou! I'm ready to play him and smite some gnolls and undead! (Houwlou can smell their gas from a mile away!)

Let's say Houwlou is 5'10" 165#. Languages -- I assume he gets Olcan and Common for free? Additional languages, I'm not sure how many he gets, bit the first one will be Gnoll, second elvish, third a foreign human tongue if we have one in the world that's in fairly wide usage.

***

I haven't looked at Aimhirghin's use of an action point in the game yet, but my understanding is that spending an action point either gives you ONE extra standard action in a round, so you can, for example, take 3 standard actions, 3 move actions, one move and two attacks, or cast a full round spell and take a move. I think that is right, but we'd better ask our resident 4E expert, renau1g, just to be sure. I do know that is you don't use your action points, then you lose them, but you also gain new ones at each "milestone," so, typically, a character will have one action point to use in nearly every encounter.

If you guys irritate me as badly as I think you might, I may start giving the monsters action points, too! j/k

[Scott DeWar]

what are these action points i am reading about?

by the way, i now understand what exp you are talking about. heh.*smacks head*

 

[Leif]

Action Points: Your character can spend an action point to take an additional action in a round. Action points are gained every time your characters completes a 'milestone,' which, the rules say, should occur every few encounters at least. But wait! This is a 4E topic and you LOATHE AND DESPISE 4E!!! Cross-out this post!
