Am I the only one who imagined Xi actually said "GARGLEGARGLEGARGLE" before drjnking?
Also: "GORDON'S ALIVE!!!"
If my role play is hindered by rolling to play, then I'd prefer the rolls play right, instead of steam-rolling play-night.

I'm voting we form Infidel's Wizard's School of Wizardry field trip as group 3 then color code our characters in traditional fashion: red wizard is the hotblooded leader, blue wizard is the cool-headed logical one, green wizard is the wacky comic relief, black wizard is the rebel/tween-girl heartthrob, yellow wizard is the action girl and obvious kidnap bait (who may or may not have a relationship with red, blue or black).
race doesn't particularly matter, though a multicultural squad would be a bonus.
also, if picturing Xi actually saying GARGLEGARGLEGARGLE before drinking makes it better for you, then that's what he did. whatever Xi is doing at any given time, just picture it being done in the loudest, most boisterous and aggravating way possible.

Arcane Magic Specialist
Arcane Initiate: detect magic, light, or mage hand 1/day
Equipment:
Fine Clothes, Silk Hat, Traveler's Clothes, 3 Daggers, Adventurer's Kit, Silk Rope (50ft), Ball Bearings (100), Block and Tackle, Manacles, 2 Small Mirrors, Hooded Lantern, 10 Flasks of Oil, Soap, Arcane Tome, 20 Sheets of Parchment, Vial of Ink, Ink Pen, String of Handkerchiefs, Deck of Playing Cards, 47 Gold Pieces
This might be a silly question, but what are you using to put together the maps?
Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.
I'll !withdraw for now, as long as folks don't mind me still kibbitzing in this thread.
Holidays are getting a bit crazy. Once that dies down, I may try resurrecting some of our crazier 'game-breaking' ideas (is the familiar still an option?) to see if they survive any better. Ideally something with "immunity to hail of projectiles".
Good news everyone! I'm sick of the Caves of Chaos and level 1. It's a bad adventure and it should feel bad, and we have firmly established that level 1 is where characters go to die.
Let's all assume that eventually the Lord of the Keep sends enough adventurers to clear out the Caves of Chaos. Over the next few years, he expands the Keep's influence over the entire [geographic area] save for one place: The Mud Sorcerer's Tomb. For a while no one could find it, even if they carefully searched the very area in which it was located, but suddenly it revealed itself, and now it must be claimed in the name of the Keep.
Your mission (you who are currently selected as the party), should you accept it, is to create a level 14 character (or update your current character, or level up a pregen), go into the tomb, kill everything, and steal all the treasure. Should be easy now that you're past those awkward early adventuring days.
The adventure is actually supposed to be for four characters, but I'm a loose-cannon DM with nothing left to lose, so we're sticking with five.
Let's get in there and put this time-honored refrain to the test: "Yeah, but at higher levels..."
Rogue weapon proficiencies changed from what was actually kinda a nice shorthand of "simple melee, finesse melee, and all simple and martial ranged weapons" to "simple melee, list of specific weapons rogues can use because tradition"

look at the cost and the description of what you can do with a flash of oil in the playtest rules.
genocide can be more efficient, guys.

By "we," I of course mean Denada, since it's his game.
And by "fair" I mean "hey Denada, did you get that bribe I sent you?"
This might be a silly question, but what are you using to put together the maps?
@wildwood, you're next on my list. Do you want to jump in now?
Holidays are getting a bit crazy. Once that dies down, I may try resurrecting some of our crazier 'game-breaking' ideas (is the familiar still an option?) to see if they survive any better. Ideally something with "immunity to hail of projectiles".
Thanks.

The charts in my package only go up to level 10. Time for some ballparking, or is there a file I've missed somewhere?
Same here, and I just downloaded last night.
You can't?
