Next week, could we meet Monday, Wednesday, or Friday? Next Tuesday is somewhat awkward for me since I have a test Wednesday morning.

Posting this here so I don't forget it:
"The iron in the body of a warforged makes him vulnerable to rusting grasp. The creature takes 2d6 points of damage from the spell (Refl ex half; save DC 14 + caster’s ability modifier). A warforged takes the same damage from a rust monster’s touch (Refl ex DC 17 half). Spells such as stone to flesh, stone shape, warp wood, and wood shape affect objects only, and thus cannot be used on the stone and wood parts of a warforged." [Eberron Campaign Setting]

we will be playing on monday upcoming then.
I have the day off so the usual shenanigans. same time same place.

sala, you missed the last part of first session. that was saying that you all leveled from 5 to 6. Because i didn't have the calculations i just added a level. so as a level six character you are starting out with 15000 experience. then you add the experience from this
>>318206
which is for you personally 11000
the total exp you should have is 26000 and the experience needed to make it to level 7 is only 21000.

I am starting to get flustered, do you have a link to what you are looking at that is confusing you so much? Or the name of the book that you're using?

>>318242
I looked over the table and Sala would have started with 6000 at Lvl 4 (+1 level adjustment from Dromite puts it at the ECL 5 to start).

I think what confused me is the '48 people saved, about 100 each'
I read that as '100 in total for each character', not '4800 total for each character'.

Even from the minimum of 10,000 for level 5, that 11,000 would bump it up through 6 to 7, so I updated the level again:

HP: 4(Rolled), +1(Con), new max: 40
PP: +11(Psion), +2(Int), new max: 66
Skills: +2 to Concentration, +4 to Gather Information
Powers learned: Fly, Psionic; Telekinetic Maneuver

okay neat

alright, repeat same time same process tomorrow.

so campaign is cancelled for today. I'll see if we can get a decent day next week. If any of you guys have a day of preferance please don't be afraid to ask

Usually any day other than friday or saturday will work for me.

So can everybody meet this Tuesday? And if we have the meeting at 4:00, will people actually be there, or would it be better if the meeting is moved to 5:00 or something?

I am unable to make this tuesday, but i can make it the Wednesday of April 4th. If there are any concerns about this i can push it til wednesday aprill 11th

Works for me.

April 4 works for me.

Just a heads up Sweets, I'll be late because i'm helping Sarge reorganize his shop.

>>318286
then we'll start at around 4ish

New PP: 63
New Feat: Psionic Endowment + One to Power Save DC
New Powers: Dominate Mind, Death Urge
Skills: Diplomacy 17(+4 ranks)
HP: +1 roll, +2 con mond, +one for a psionic feat

okay, so you finally made it to the jungle, no exp til after next session. which will hopefully be maybe tuesday of next week

alright, sorry for such a late minute post but it seems i have come down with illness- it is mostly just stomach things but because of this i will desire to sleep it away. the campaign is moved to either thursday of this week or if that does not work monday of next week in the later period of 4-5pm

On Thursday, I have class until about 4:30 your time. After that still works though.

>>318295
alright, so another update- due to being out of town today it will be held next week. Sorry for the delay, hopefully shenanigans will resume monday

I'm a bit ill at the moment, so depending on when I can get an appointment to see the doctor, I may be late. I'll definitely be there though.

It was today right?

>>318311
That's what I thought too, but he is currently off Skype and I have not heard anything else from him.

I"M HERE, sorry, just got side tracked... uh, i'll be waiting in the usual spots if you guys are still willing to play today... man, whoops, sorry guys.

A random thought:
Since I can put skill points in Spot or Listen, can I similarly put skill points in Scent?

>>318317
yes, i can let you do that.

alright, so update- we'll hopefully continue where we left off on tuesday of next week. april 24th i believe. i will not be late this time (hopefully)

so the update is that the campaign is put on hold til one of the current players can get all internetted up and due to not having too many people- on a side note this campaing is still looking for players to join in, the details still are at the top of this thread

I found a friend who would like to join the group.

(At this point new characters will start at lvl 7, right?)
He says that if it is not too overpowered (which I think it is), he wants to play a half-dragon hill giant (which has a total level adjustment of +7, and a massive assortment of bonuses listed in http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/giant.htm#hillGiant and http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/halfDragon.htm . Particularly of note are the 12d8 starting hit dice, the +8 starting base attack bonus, 5 monster feats, and the +22 strength. (After reading that, I don't know why the hill giant level adjustment is only +4. Sure they have sizable Int and Cha penalties, but fighting classes don't use those anyway.)

Otherwise he is thinking about playing a kobold monk.

Hmm, on second thought, I don't know how much large amounts of strength bonuses are balanced out by a lack of spellcasting. I haven't really had much experience with how things work with high level spellcasters in 3.5.

Actually, the Half-Dragon ability makes it 12d10 starting HP, and not 12d8 :D

And please ignore the Half-Dragon part. Just being a hill giant monk is enough.

that will be okay, just send the finished characte sheet to my email. my email is in th elink.

Is it alright if it is in an Excel spreadsheet?

>>318345
The answer is, "unless your spellcasting consists of self buffs to enable improved melee, not very".
Having a lot of power means jack if you can't close the gap to use it, and there are a LOT of ways to stop melee should a decent creature not want you to hit it.

>>318350
At least some ultra-powerful monsters seem fairly hittable apart from their DR, high AC, and incredible grapple bonuses.

About that, can you attack with armor spikes while being grappled as well as when grappling?

I have just convinced my older brother to consider joining.
Some rules explaining will be necessary; the last time I know of that he has played a pen and paper RPG was GURPS back when we were much younger.

>>318351
>At least some ultra-powerful monsters seem fairly hittable apart from their DR, high AC, and incredible grapple bonuses.
>apart from their DR, high AC, and incredible grapple bonuses.
I think you are glossing over the problem.
And I do believe that armor spikes automatically cause 1d6 damage when grappled or swallowed, but don't quite me.

Alright, after a long time, I have taken a smidge of interest in this game.
I just need to know some stuff, like power scale, expectations, what is and isn't kosher.

alright, so to sum up what i see.
Spikes do damage when a creature makes contact with them- whether it's grappling, swallowing, or even punching the armor.
It is alright to put the character sheet in any format you guys are able to use.

>power scale, expectations, what is and isn't kosher.

power scale is between tit mouse and god, expectations are that you will run into things that aren't basic fantasy stereotype, and what is and isn't kosher is up to the game environment (so far it seems that it is unwise to attack a creature that is a cr far greater then yours). If there are in game conflicts between players, they have to solve it in game, if they aren't in game i will slap the ever loving hell outta them verbally. Most things will fly with me, such as pvp and what not (not all the players will be the same alignment or even act the alignment right). The starting ecl is 7 at the moment, if you want to make a broken monster with a class, go right ahead. If it cannot defeat cr 44s or higher, then it will not be considered overpowered.
Also, there will be a fair chance of character or party wipe based on a few "that guy" players.

So what is our status for tomorrow?

>>318356
>power scale is between tit mouse and god
Worrisome.
>expectations are that you will run into things that aren't basic fantasy stereotype,
Cool.
>and what is and isn't kosher is up to the game environment (so far it seems that it is unwise to attack a creature that is a cr far greater then yours)
Seeing as CR means fuckall, not surprising, but a lot of things are harder than you'd think.
>implies I would make some LA fuckoff monster pc
>further implies that idiots will cost the party
YAY~, I love idiots.

Which IRC client are you guys using? Should I go ahead and download one?

>>318359
You don't actually have to download it. The website is http://cbe004.chat.mibbit.com/
For the Connect drop down box, select Rizon, and in the channel field enter #bamump

We are also using an online dice roller at http://www.catchyourhare.com/diceroller/
The password for that is merren ala marta

(Though I don't know if we will be meeting today, with all the disorganization from new players.)

the current status on the campaign is that i'm going to a convention this weekend. I need to prepair, if the characters are sent to me by the end of the week or early next week we may be able to begin playing again on the week after. I am also getting a new apartment soonish so when we do begin playing the bulk of the encounters will most likely be thrown together.

I haven't heard from you guys in a while. Are you still there?

Also, I will be busy for some largeish amount of time this tuesday due to grandparents visiting. (My brother is still working on his character sheet, but progress is slow.)

i'm still here, but haven't really gotten any updates on players yet. as soon as that falls into place then we'll start up again.

Did you get my character sheet, or should I re-send it?

>>8374
resend it, it seems to not have gotten through

How many spells would a wizard starting at level 7 have? And does the fact that they are proficient with crossbows also make them proficient with basic guns?

it's subjective based on int on how many spells a level 7 would have, and crossbows are similar but not the same as the guns such as loading the ball and adding powder.

Guns would definitely require their own (exotic) weapon proficiency. There's a world of difference between the two.

Are any of you guys still around by this point? I would be interested in re-forming the group if you guys are.

i'm still here, been busy

Still around, just waiting on news.

What about the guy who was moving and away from internet? Is he done with that?

>>8511
I'm a new guy who is interested is it still open?

>>8512
Probably, if it isn't dead. It has been inactive for a while though.

its still going on, lately haven't been getting the emails of new characters if anyone is sending them

>>/draw/13702

that is funny- so still waiting on any stragglers before we start again

alright, sorry for the delay seems no one else is going to join- campaign will be resuming on tuesdays again. This upcoming tuesday will not take place, the tuesday after that we will be resuming at the part of the campaign where the party has made it outside the sewers to escape the now dwelling of the new monster freak thing.

Make sure you still have your character sheets, and we will be using the usual materials as always.

>>8532
This is awesome.

>>8589
Two/three person campaign won't be too bad, really. I'm sure it's been done before.

I am in.
By the way, I found out from some other games that I had been calculating damage incorrectly during this game. In previous sessions I had though that base attack bonus contributed to damage, when it does not in fact do so. So my melee attacks are now less overpowered (1d6 + 5 in predator form rather than 1d6 + 10). (Next level they might be heading back to OPville, though, because that is when I get my next form.)

Also, I found a neat site for storing character sheets. Here is my (main, due to forms) character sheet there:
http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=420669

that is pretty useful zig, alrighty that day is coming up- need to get a roll call of who's attending so i can write the cr of the upcoming conflicts.

Sala is present.

I am here.

Alright folks, game time.

next tuesday is the next session- i will post when the game is beginning

So, spell loadout decision time in preparation for a large dwarf attack.
Can I get a description of the tunnel entrance with things like width of the entrance and ground type (floors of stone, dirt, or grass allow or stop various druid spells). A quick map like >>8058 would be nice, but not necessary if it is too much trouble.

>>8633

It's a simple cave mouth- rugged stone walls with patches of dirt, mud and grass as the floor. The deeper it goes the flooring becomes more solid and before it hits the sewer it's completely stone. It is a single tunnel that spans a week long trek and other then that it doesn't have much appeal.

Alrighty, everything is set up- game time when everyone is ready

I am home early today due to local power outage issues that have (probably) been resolved by now.

>>8642
welp we be waiting 4 u then

Sheet with updated shit:
http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=424046

Totally making the Sustaining Spoon a familiar. This is a thing that is happening.

I will probably not be able to make it next Tuesday due to being in California from next Saturday until the Friday after that.

(Also, I think the amount of exp assigned last session was kind of out of scale. We did get a lot done last session, but according to the tables 15000 would bring me from being almost lvl 8 to being halfway from lvl 9 to lvl 10, unless we are using the only-one-level-up-at-once rule, in which case it caps at bringing me from almost level 8 to the edge of level 9.)

>>8645
Currently, your page seems to be set to not be publicly viewable.

>>8647
trying to stick to the 1 or 2 level gain minimum- i've been throwing alot of stuff at you guys. And there are only two of you so the experience represents that.

so no campaign tuesday- will probably have it the next tuesday after then.

Tuesday is coming up fast, same time tomorrow. Current events are the travel to the human settlement westwards. Be ready for airship shenanigans and maybe dragonland shenanigans.

What specific time is that again?

Hello? I arrived a bit late today, but I don't see anyone else on the IRC or skype.

>>8690
I'm checking in periodically for bamump's post for starting.

Sorry for the delay, it has been hectic to drag myself away from current events. A head count to see who is willing to play this late will be cool and also if you are willing to play this late.

I am still here.

I'm back now. Opening up my tabs and will be there if this is still happening.

>>8697
it seems that the thing is cancelled this tuesday- sorry. We will try next tuesday

Alright, take two on the campagine tommorrow. I'll be damned if i miss it this time. Same time, same place.

game time

actually i have to run some quick errands.
It will probably be an hour

I was moving into my dorm earlier today, but now I am moved in so I am ready when you guys are.

So it seems that at level 8, my shapeshift druid transfroms from an ok-ish melee fighter to a whirlwind of death.
3.5 Druids being 3.5 druids, I guess.

On top of that, the dice love you this session.

alright, sorry about not having a chock full session this go around- but next session i'm sure you will make it to the human village. See you guys next tuesday.

mkay, session is tomorrow. We'll be doing the same as always- meaning we'll try to meet at around 3-4-5 pm... yeah, times are awkward with this session.

my mom had an emergency, today's session is cancelled. An update on the next time we hold the session will be posted later today.

session is put on hiatus because i gotta take care of irl stuff. I'm not sure when we'll resume but i'll keep you guys posted.

Ok. I hope your mother is ding better.

>>8744
This, but doing better, rather.

>>8746
Er, right, that is what I meant.

yeah, well she's not been doing well so now i gotta help take care of her. It now means i don't have as much free time as i usually do so DMing will have to be put on hold til the family can figure out what we can do.

It's fine, family comes before people on the internet.
