Yeah, I saw your posts there. Man, I hate to say 'no,' but that game is already way over-full and spilling out onto the ENWorld floor. You can definitely be an alternate, though, if that's ok?

sniff sniff, okay...whimper....*shuffles away from lv 12 game thread*

Coolnesss! Glad you like it!!

by this comment, am i to assume we are turning to pathfinder? I saw something about arcane bond? yes? huh huh ?

Truth to tell, the Draconic thing never really sat very well with me - it didn't seem to be a good fit but I was at a loss for anything else. This is WAY better from a character POV, and Manny still gets some nifty toys.

In place of the Draconic Heritage feats previously selected I'm thinking of taking Practiced Spellcaster for each of his classes (Complete Arcane, +4 Caster Level applies to spell effects (Duration, Range, Damage etc.) only, not to exceed casters total HD). This should give his spells enough oomph to help him keep up with his peers.

I'll work some this afternoon/evening and get his sheet updated in the RG.

Oops - may have opened a can of worms here

Awwwwwww. Remember how 'high-casualty' pbp is -- being Alternate 1.01, you may very well get a chance to come onstage before you know it. Anyway, the module that I am leaing towards using for that game is just pretty dang diabolical. It's no 'Tomb of Horrors,' but, then again, it's not far off, either. That game will give me some practice for what this game wants to be when it grows up, so we should all benefit because of that.

We're using the Pathfinder rules for Sorcerer's Heritage, yes. I doubt if that will be enough for you, so hit me with the other things you want at your leisure. (One note: If we go to d6 HD for wizards, we will dispense with the "Max hp always" rule INSTANTLY!)

Oops - may have opened a can of worms here

Yeah, but them worms was just a-itchin' to squirm out and wriggle into our drawers anyway. It was just a matter of time. If you hadn't opened it, somebody else would have. And, as it happened, I think I gave you an assist with the opening.

Don't worry DeWar, I've got something up my sleve for a mid-level 3.5e game, I'm just discussing some things with Leif about it.

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! It wasn't just a dream! Hey, also, since we've just been talking about sorcerous heritage here, and I already told you that I would lean towards playing a sorcerer in that game, would I be stuck with DnD rules, or could we also use the PFRPG for that stuff in your game too?

 

[renau1g]

I'll need to review them more closely (I only looked at the cleric portion of the rules for the most part, selfish me).

Maybe I'll make it a Pathfinder-based game, it shouldn't be much work to convert it.

 

[Leif]

I should think (hope?) that there's very, very little work involved in the conversion. I guess the only 'crunch' difference for a sorcerer would be the d6HD. Confession: I really haven't compared the tables that show how quickly spells are gained, so there might be a difference there, too, but I would expect it to be a very minor one. I do know that PFRPG bards get a first level spell at CL1 (plus a bonus spell, if they get one).

(Similar to you with Clerics, all my experience with PFRPG so far has been with Bards and Rangers, and I never actually played the Bard, either.)

Sorry guys, I'm completely covered up with a project at work. It's my 20th wedding anniversary too.... My wife yesterday reminded me of the joke about the guy in his basement on his 20th wedding anniversary. Do you know that one?

On their 20th wedding anniversary, Wife finds her husband crying in the dark in the corner of the basement. "What's wrong, honey? Why are you down here?" she asks. He replies, "Do you remember the night your father caught us? He told me I could marry you or go to jail? I'd be free today!"

Toot! Toot! Bong! Bong!

CONGRATULATIONS! You've just won an all-expenses-paid trip to PURGATORY!!!

heh heh heh, just kidding bro. NO, don't stab me Huong, please??!

(Gosh I hope I spelled her name sorta right....)

 

[Scott DeWar]

ahhh...so much to respond to here....

first, Lou, you are bad. telling that joke will send you to hell. 20 hail marys and the rosery twice a day for a week. bad i tell ya. BAD!

Renalg: I think a game of pfrpg would be great!!! and as for Leifs question on spell casting difference...there is noone. the PFRPG is 100 % backwards campatable. there are ways of conversion for modules written in the beta play test. basicly:
method 1: quick conversoion. don't change anything. play it as it is.

method 2 : slow conversion: change out the skills for the ones that changed. change the feats if they apply. some monsters have no changes. it is like npc's that may be different as humans get the +2 ability boost.

if renalg does run a mid level game, I see no reason to bother the 'leif has been shangheid game" and they can play in pieces, er, peace. just watch out for that Glass Eye person leif! he is a tricky one!!
