(YaEg)REBOOT! Recruiting more players!!!!!!

[Sidekick]

Ok guys, I'm keen and ready to go, bar a few minor issues.

If someone can send me info about the dragonmarks and general attitudes/info for House Orien and House Denither (sp?). Onfo and requirements for least and lesser marks would be good.

I've got my human ranger/monk ready to rock, I just need to fix up his dragon mark etc.

I can't seem to PM or e-mail other people here, so if you could e-mail me at creetbee@yahoo.com I'd be most appreciative.

oh and go the board riding halfling!!!!

'skateboards' look fine---I'll be out of internet acess the rest of today & most (if not all) tomorrow (my mother is having an operation in the mornin)

erian, through the professor, u will have some access to laboratory space (as well as some possible stuff that is all your own)----everyone will have a character specific item, so feel free to make reasonable requests

the game should start friday barring no complications w/my mom's operation

Jonas, scratching his head as the halfling expresses displeasure...
"These are prototypes, of course. What's a good artificing experiement without prototypes, user testing and feedback, and more prototypes!?!

What changes are you looking for--let's see, narrow the board to a more rectangular shape than circular, check, maybe some way to increase speed up to x3 or x4 (depending on encumbrance), check. Anything else?"

(I'm starting to think Jonas will be kind of the "nutty inventor" of the group. You guys give me specs and I'll see what I can cook up!)

Hmm, a dedicated wright homunculus would be nice...

Hmmm, decisions decisions.
I think that Deneith probably suits Helder more. He's an lost scion of the house who has been reclaimed, but he's got a very different outlook due to his years as an Eldeen ranger. I'm thinking I might make him a roving Sentinel Marshal if that's ok with you SpiderTrag?

How tight with the houses do PC with marks have to be anyway?

Halfling Carom (skateboard)
A rare and stylish (at least in some hoods) skill is the ability to ride a carom or skateboard. The most common carom's are still expensive affairs requiring the work of an artificer or other magic user to grant them their legendary ability to glide a few inches off of the ground rather than being bound by the normal wheeled convention of carts or other vehicles. These boards are often made of strong but flexible woods, darkwood is a very common item, with both ends tilting up 10 to 20 degrees from the main section, they can vary in sizes but most halfling boards are about ten to twelve inches in length, although some distance gliding boards can reach up to eighteen to twenty inches, and about four or so inches in width. When used a skater will generally push off with a leg and then glide for a while, using terrain and slope to their advantage to continue their motion. Those who are more skilled can also perform tricks with their carom's, flipping them, lifting them off of the ground, grinding off of rails or edges and so on.

Traveling on a carom increases the users speed by 10 feet on a generally level plane. The user can skate up or down slopes, although skating up a slope reduces the users speed to normal, but skating down a slope increases the users speed by another 10 feet. Using a carom is similar to riding a creature, although in place of the ride skill use the balance skill for most checks, or the jump skill to get the carom to jump over objects, etc. Using a carom requires a basic balance check (DC 10) which the user can take 10 on so long as they have ranks in balance, although other circumstances may change the difficulty.

Most carom's can carry up to 75 pounds without any trouble, larger carom's can carry greater weight. For every additional 10 pounds on a standard carom, any checks involving the carom receive an incremental -2 penalty.

Standard Cost and Weight: 300gp, 3lb.
Hardness: 5 Hit Points: 5

Modifications
Masterwork: +300gp, +2 to balance checks involving the carom
Darkwood Deck*: +30gp plus the masterwork cost, weight changes to 1.5 lb, hardness 5, hit points 10

Collapsible Deck: +150gp, reduces hit points by half, able to be folded in half and stored easily.
Hidden Compartment: +150gp, small hidden compartment (search check DC 25), can hold up to a single tiny sized object, up to one pound.

* Those modifications marked with an asterisk (*) are considered masterwork items and receive the benefits of being masterwork.
