[D&D 4E PbP]In the Wake of the Plague [OOC Thread]

Squints

I like the on-deck mechanic. And my idea would be a cosmetic growth; but feel free to tie in the growing suspicions of the towns people and so forth.

Chanus

Cool beans. I'll allow it.

Oloron

Squint's post on Vimak reminded me - assuming you're ok with it, my plan for Aria is that she has liked her new found abilities, but hasn't told anyone about them. I assume they will become public at some point, but at the beginning it may not be obvious why some of the enemies are clutching their heads or seeing weird visions. I assume party members will know (or at least get suspicious) quickly, but for now it's something she'd keep hidden from the village, etc.

I also like the next/on-deck thing.

Chanus

Sounds good to me.

At least for now, you guys are the only ones around, so no one but the other party members and the bad guys would notice anything.

Squints

Oh, good. Snowdown plays a character named Aria with a bow of Sehahine in my cmapagin, and in this campaign Snow plays someone else that follows Sehahine, while there is another character in the party named Aria.

My sweet, beautiful brain.

Snowdown

This character will follow whatever god is appropriate at the moment.

As a matter of fact, I think she's going to carry holy symbols to every god in a beltpouch
(all stolen from various peoples of course....she wouldn't spend MONEY on holy symbols. that would be a waste.)

We might get a "mummy" moment

OptimusZed

Will Wil's first damage taken be at the hands of an insulted female party member?

Let's find out!

Snowdown

Wil most likely wouldn't be able to SEE Lilika. She's hidden, as in stealthed. I was just waiting for the order to make the roll.
lemme do that now

Fixed: Doubtful wil has a 21 passive perception, sorry I should've stated it in my post. Cleared with Chanus that she could begin stealthed before I made the character, due to the nonhuman stuff. Since it won't effect the monsters, we can just assume you knew she was there..that works. won't have to change your post

OptimusZed

It's entirely possible Wil is just hallucinating, anyway.

He's not one to turn away booze or anything else.

Squints

So Wil put his moves on a bench.

I'm sure it's a particularly shapely bench.

Chanus

They're supposed to be long tables :P

Poast coming shortly!

Snowdown

tables then, i'll fix my post

OptimusZed

Here's hoping the minions beat a 12, otherwise my first turn is going to be kind of disappointing.

Chanus

Okay... that took a little longer to put together than I expected (a little tougher at work :P )

Should be a little smoother here on out, though... now that I can copy/paste a lot of it!

Chanus

I want to punch Database Error in the face. >.<

Note to self: Type long post out in text editor before posting to thread.

Snowdown

ANY time I'm posting here, and click submit and the message doesn't go right away I immediately click the text window, ctrl-a, ctrl-c to select all then copy.

Cause yah.....database error when you've just typed a long post deserves a donkey punch

OptimusZed

Yeowch

Haven't even gone yet and I'm down a healing surge.

Chanus

Well, start hittin' stuff! :P

OptimusZed

Let me go and I will!

Fondor_Yards

That 2nd arrow should have missed if it was against AC, mine's 20 and you rolled a 19. Awwww yea plate+heavy shield.

OptimusZed

And I should be at Q8, though I can't say anything about getting hit unfortunately.

Chanus

no u

I was looking at Reflex. My B.

The grace of something or other restores 9 hitpoints to you :P

Ack... I forgot to move Wil.


Updating map!

Chanus

Map and HPs and junk updated.

Proceed!

Chanus

The tables do provide cover from the archers.

Squints

I am correct in thinking that THPs don't stack, right? I mean, if I don't get hit before my next turn, my recuperating strike won't put be at 6 THP. It will still be 3 THP?

Also, I had more fluffy text for my move, but I was at a party and got drunk...er... than I thought but I was really jazzed about doing my next turn, so that Vimak could start writing "notches" on his shoulder for each enemy slain

Oloron

The standard rule is that they don't stack, but that the highest will always overwrite. e.g. if you have 3 THP for whatever reason and something grants you 5 THP, you would now have 5 THP. if you have 3 and somthing grants you 2, you would still be at 3.

Chanus can do whatever he wants, however.

Chanus

I'm going with the standard rule, so it would still be a total of 3 THP

Also, I noticed the mark. I thought that was cool

OptimusZed

If I can ever hit, I'll be handing out 4 temp HP a turn.

But if Vimak can do that for himself, I'm going to concentrate on keeping the Paladin up, or the squishies if they get mobbed.

Squints

Yeah, I'm 30+ HP at level 1 with a temp HP power, so I should be rather sturdy despite my low defenses other than fort.

And if I get bloodied, I'll just go into rage and make things really interesting - in rage I also get 8 THP (5 + con) per rejuvenating strike.

Chanus

Eep... 14 AC on Vimak is a hit. It's only for 4 though... editting.

OptimusZed

Yeah, Barbs always have crappy defenses.

That's basically the one reason we don't run full parties of them.

Rampaging the countryside, eating the hearts of our fallen enemies while fulfilling the needs of their former women.

Squints

I also realize that a changeling would be an awesome race for this setting. Especially one that didn't "know" he was one, he instinctually changes to the majority race he is surrounded by.

OptimusZed

Hope you don't mind me pulling your mark, Celgar. Just saw an opportunity to strand that dude with no real good options.

Fondor_Yards

It's cool, and since I seem to be doing a good meat shield job and got the servant on my ass having someone else around to hurt it while I stand there and get stabbed sounds good to me.

Snowdown

Part of the thing that used to make battlerager fighters so broken is that their THP specifically DID stack.

It no longer does.

Dwarven Battlerager fighter was the ULTIMATE character.

Oloron

Well, that just blew my action point and both power points. Though I'm probably more amused than I should be at building up Celgar into the ultimate killing machine.

That's now 2 that have just given up and died at the mere thought of continuing to face him...

Also, my first post forgot to mention the archer now has a -3 to attack rolls on him.

Fondor_Yards

You've killed more people as me than I have. I'm ok with this trend.

Oloron

Just keep them off squishy little me and I'm happy to be your lucky charm.
