X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - OOC

[Leif]

Got a slight problem: Rajah's sheet does not specify which spells he has prepared for the current day. Or is the Dread Necromancer a spontaneous casting class?

 

[kinem]

Yes, he can cast any spell he knows.

Here is the sheet of my DN from another game. Perhaps it helps:

[Leif]

Yes, WD, that helps, thanks!

Please note, DM Kinem, that I believed what you said, too.

I apologize for the "Tweedledee/Tweedeldum" effect regading Bevin and Rajah lately. But it has made for some good comic relief. (For me, anyway.) Something else that I thought of is: What if Bevin and Rajah were actually twins? Or even Conjoined Twins (the new politically correct term for Siamese twins). Can you imagine: The Dwarf Enchanter and his Evil Conjoined Twin the Dread Necomancer. Wow.

 

[kinem]

If you're doing it on purpose for comic relief that's fine. A little bit of tasteful comedy is a very important part of the game

But it might be a good idea to stretch your roleplaying skills a bit - run each character independently, according to his own personality, situation, information and beliefs.

As DM I try to do that with the NPCs, though often the result is the monster is mean and hungry ... hmm, what would it do ... Oooh! I know! "It tries to bite you!" as opposed to me just saying "It tries to bite you!"

 

[Leif]

Yeah, I know I need to do that more. This latest thing was truly intended to be humorous. I'll make it a point to familiarize myself more with the dread necromancer, both in general and our specific one. One thing, though, as I recall, renau1g was having Rajah be fairly silent much of the time, while, in contrast, Bevin only shuts up when he absolutely has to. So many of my posts for Rajah may well be more descriptive than pithy dialogue.

 

[kinem]

So do you guys want to explore more of the complex now, possibly disturbing the monks, or will you go back to the guest house for the night?

 

[Leif]

Bev and Raj don't have strong opinions one way or the other. They'd probably be for more exploration if they thought there might be something to see, but Bev's just not that impressed with the excitement of this place, and he'd just as soon turn in for the evening. Rajah, on the other hand, would like to find a few more dark corners and holes to poke his nose into.

I will just observe that monks are SUPPOSED to be pretty stoic, so if they are disturbed by our activity, they should get over it pretty quickly. Unless these are some atypical monks. What are the odds of that, do you suppose?

 

[Rhun]

Aram and Nargon are up for a little more quiet exploration if anyone else is in...barring that, we can retire. We'd definitely want to set up a watch, though.
