In the 3.5 book, there's rules for wands with 1-5 'uses per day'.

Yep, a wand would also fit in the 'quick fix' he's looking for.

howdy all. Remember me? No? Well, there used to be this dwarf named "Draknor" ... Unfortunately, he died in a tragic hard drive failure. Along with all my D&D progs and files. And most of my free time. Just thought I'd let you all know that I'm still alive and interested....

Fyron
July 3rd, 2005, 04:02 PM
Somebody still has a copy of Draknor's file. I don't recall who anymore though. There is always the html output version (http://dnd.spaceempires.net/charsheets/Draknor.html) from which the file could be rebuilt.

IF we can all agree on a time then we can get started again. I'm usually available (although this might change for a day or two each week). Only real problem is if the time translates to too early for me.

How early is too early? Think you can reliably get up by 10am your time? That would be 8pm here. Let's see, if I've got the time zones right, how about:

8pm Saturday Eastern time
5pm Saturday Pacific time
10am Sunday Tasmania, Australia time

Would that work for everyone?

We're all still level 5, so that's got to be quite recent.

Fri and Sat nights aren't good for me. I work, and then have my son on what's left of the weekend. Like I said, I'm back to no free time.

Draknor will just have to sit on the sidelines for a while.

Randallw
July 5th, 2005, 12:19 AM
I think I can handle 10am, got to consider daylight savings though. I just couldn't get up at 7.30 for Narf though, mostly cause I kept forgetting, but if I'm DM I'm more likely to remember.

We could do one of those other days just the same as Monday.

1 and a half hours to go until the planned resumption of our campaign. I hope everyone shows up.

Next session tomorrow? In 32 hours?

Randallw
July 17th, 2005, 11:07 PM
I thought we had settled on Thursday/Friday. I know that was just because you were busy last week, but I had thought it was a set day. Anyway it takes me some time to set up for each session (checking rules, monsters, making the map (which I discovered I forgot to save)). I'm busy for the next day or two anyway.

douglas
July 17th, 2005, 11:42 PM
Ok, so it's Thursday/Friday on a regular basis. I was just checking because I thought last week was a one-time difference from the planned regular Monday/Tuesday time.

Randallw

Our average party level is 6.75 because Syndra is level 12. (12 + 3*5) / 4 = 6.75

Um, no, Syndra is level 5. I think that 12 was his initiative for the round.

Fyron
July 22nd, 2005, 12:55 AM
Oh, nevermind then. Still way too much experience IMO given the relative ease of the encounters... oh well. WOTC wants us to rush through the levels, I guess. Whatever happened to the old axiom of 3-4 adventures per level? :-\

People got bored with taking months to level up despite playing every week.

I've got a local game going that plays every week for about 5-8 hours, and so far we've levelled up about once a month, which seems quite reasonable to me.

Anyway, less than an hour to the next session, just in case anyone forgot.

In future I am going to make sure I remember to password the game room. I will stay with "Ace" as the password. I actually considered it last week but didn't want trouble with people forgetting what we use. We never had trouble with guests before so I didn't think it was necessary http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Considering Narf won't be there and I may well be stiff and sneezing, if it's ok with everyone I'll postpone the next session till next week. I have a few things to do anyway and might have to do them tomorrow if a delivery doesn't come today (I'm waiting for the movers)

Fyron

The game server is entirely unrelated to SEnet. It should be connectable now. Though I don't know what is wrong with the FTP on SEnet... If you send me the files you want to use, I can stick them on my local server as a temporary measure.

I have no problem with changing the times to accomodate new players as long as it's ok with the current group. I do try to make it challenging, but my plans always go down in flames, flames caused by an energy blast by douglas http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif.

Hey, it's not always energy blasts. There was that one time it was a puny little unaugmented level 1 spell called Grease that spelled doom for the assassins that couldn't stand up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif.

Seriously, IIRC an encounter of the same level as the party is supposed to take about 1/4 of the party's resources (HP, spells, etc.) to defeat when fully rested, assuming no special circumstances apply (such as the party ambushing the monsters). We've just been managing to spend nearly all of that as spells/power points most of the time. In my case, 1/4 of my daily resources is two full-strength energy blasts. It's not my fault we've been facing monsters with energy vulnerabilities that make them particularly effective.

Randallw

So Null, if you want to join we play using OpenRPG

The day depends a bit on Fyron being able to set up a server. I've tried but never had any luck doing it myself. If there is going to be a change of time please tell me by the time I wake tomorrow so I can be ready otherwise. As an indication of the time differences I am in GMT+10.

I'd prefer friday or saturday, my 'awake' times are better then. I'm in EST, sorry for not including that. 4 to 5 PM would translate into 7 or 8 PM here, and 9 is my time to get off the computer on mondays through thursdays. That wouldn't give you much roleplaying time. Friday, however, I'm open from 3 pm till 11 PM, so you could work something out there if you can.

EDIT: Are there any rule restrictions? Like on psionics or something?

Anything in that time period works for me, as would Saturday, but I don't know about everyone else. Fyron in particular seemed to want to avoid Friday and Saturday back when we were starting up again after the hiatus.

NullAshton said:

We've already got an abundance of arcane casters in the party (Narf's wizard and my Psion), so if you do anything with psionics I'd recommend not doing anything more than a few psionic feats, or the Psychic Warrior or Soulknife classes at the very most. The best fit with the current party composition would be a cleric, as we have no divine caster/healer at all at the moment.

NullAshton said:

I would assume you have the amount listed in the Character Wealth by Level table for 6th level, which is 13000 gp.

What part of "abundance of arcane casters" did you not understand? You can make a Sorcerer if you really want to, but having 3 of the 4 (5 if Rasorow rejoins) party members be focused arcane spellcasters is a bit much. Oh, and we're still two levels away from the minimum for a Sorcerer to cast Polymorph.

We're doing quite enough butt-kicking already. It's the healing ourselves afterwards that we're having trouble with.

NullAshton
August 31st, 2005, 06:33 PM
Meh. Monks can heal themselves, so meh. I can heal myself JUST fine. I think. Oh wait, that's next level...

douglas
August 31st, 2005, 07:08 PM
So, what about the rest of the party? Your ability to heal twice your level for yourself (once you level up) doesn't do anything to help the rest of us, and depending on items for healing gets rather expensive after a while, especially for fast in-combat healing. If it's the idea of being purely a support character that's putting you off, keep in mind that clerics are pretty good at fighting too, especially with how many high ability scores you can get with 40 point buy. If you prefer the sorcerer's style of spellcasting (no advance preparation, but more limited selection), you could go Favored Soul (from Complete Divine) instead without losing much fighting ability and gaining more spells per day.

NullAshton
August 31st, 2005, 07:36 PM

I'd like to propose a ban on the monk class... I do not want to see it in the game, ever. Even thri-kreen fighter is probably too much...

This is the ability point system we are using:

Player can spend up to 40 points to create a character using the following chart:

Ability = Cost
8 = 0 points
9 = 1 point
10 = 2 points
11 = 3 points
12 = 4 points
13 = 5 points
14 = 6 points
15 = 8 points
16 = 10 points
17 = 13 points
18 = 16 points

August 31st, 2005, 08:45 PM

Ummmm... Douglas? How is a Ranger/Cleric an arcane caster ;-) I always thought I was divine :-)

NullAshton

I already read the site. Just not the past adventures. Isn't 40 points a little high? On the char-gen I'm using, high-powered character are at 32 points.

Anyway, I vote that we keep monks. They cool. DM might need to make a restrictive code of honor on them, such as don't attack unarmed opponents, or something, and always use non-lethal damage when possible.

Randallw
August 31st, 2005, 11:37 PM
IT seems that fri-sat is definitely out as things do depend on Fyron. I imagine starting earlier to accomodate Null is impossible. I don't have any experience with Monks, but I gather it would end up like Fyrons Thri-Keen who unleashes flurries with 4 arms that chew up opponents. The party does really require some clerical help. Fyron, you say Fri-Sat is out, but what other days are good?

Edit: before I go out, are we going to delay the next session till everyone can join, or go on tomorrow regardless?

You tend to be sleeping any earlier than we start, so it doesn't seem feasible.

Randallw said:

Monks are even worse because they have ungodly magic defenses in addition to powerful attacks. My thri-kreen should collapse quite nicely when/if we encounter some powerful spell casters. That is, assuming that Douglas doesn't get to them first... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

The main reason I made the thri-kreen fighter was because our party had lost all melee combat characters. I had forgotten about the whole 4 arm thing when I started making it... oh well.

Randallw said:

For the next few weeks, Monday-Thursday at the time we do now or later is perfectly ok. Well, the 12th (a Monday) and 13th (a Tuesday) will not be possible due to other engagements, but other Mondays and Tuesdays are fine.

It doesn't need to be perpeptual - I host the server for Narf's Loony game; I turned the server into a schedualed task, complete with command-line parameters to set the name for the server:

C:\UTILS\PYTHON23\python.exe C:\Games\OpenRPG\start_server.py -p -n Loony -l XXXXX

It's been a while since I set it up, so I don't recall what the -p is for, but the -n is the name flag, so my server's always called Loony; the -l tag sets the root password for the lobby (note that I do not use five X's - that's a replacement)

You can schedual the server as a task, set the computer on standby (also set the task for "wake the computer to perform this task", of course), and walk away - unless something goes wrong (which is unlikely, if you make sure to reboot the computer before putting it to sleep and walking away) it will be up and running for the game.

You may also wish to tweak a few system settings to make sure your computer doesn't go back to sleep while the game is running (or waiting to start).

This of course assumes that you can leave the machine asleep and not have to worry about others coming along and using it while you aren't present.

Mondays through thusdays are out for me, because I have so much to do then. Lots of school, tae kwon doe, virtual class...

I say leave it on 24/7. It should be fairly stable, I guess, since other servers are left on 24/7. We can also hi-jack an official server for roleplaying, and forgo the need for a server.

Now then... On to tweak my cleric some more...

Now I can't get back to sleep (cause getting up to use the computer won't help http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) Null_Ashton has contacted me to say could I change it to Friday. I might be able to, but it would require me getting up a few hours early, which might be possible, however this would require my being woken up as I sleep heavily (When I'm not sick http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) and no one else here really gets up before 8.30 (I think. I usually never get up that early to be sure). I could give it a go, though I risk sleeping in.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that there is no time that both Fyron and NullAshton are available for long enough to hold a session http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif. So, unless one of them changes something in his schedule, we can either keep Fyron in the group or kick him out and let NullAshton in as a replacement. I don't know about everyone else, but I think the current member should get priority over a potential new player.

I need to put another doonah on my bed I think http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif. It did occur to me as I woke up further that we were in the positon where we had to choose between Fyron and Null and to be honest it would be unfair to kick out Fyron to take on someone new. I am sorry Null, I sincerely hope we can come up with something. Anyway were we too change to an earlier time to accomodate new players I must reiterate something current players probably know. I am on medication. For me to get up early, even the current time of 10am for me, I have to intentionally skip my medication and go to bed early the previous night. I can do this once a week and feel ok, but were we to play tomorrow I would have to go 2 nights in a row and I don't really think that's a good idea.

That reminds me Null, as you're a cleric what sort of god do you want? I didn't think of it before. I'm working on my world as we go along, so if you can come up with what sort of god you want I can include one in the pantheon. It's a bit small at the moment (as I only bother making up stuff if we're going to use it). SO far the gods I have are

Huhm - the god of humanity
Rad - a hero/god who saved mankind from the elves. Sort of the patron of the empire
The Stag- the god of the nurturing side of nature. I worked that one out with Rasorow.
The beast - basically the vicious side of nature.
The lichgod- the god of the undead of which the current villain serves.
There also were the gods of the Elves and Orcs, but they are both dead, as are apparently all Orcs.

douglas
October 27th, 2005, 10:06 PM
Would Tuesday evening work for everyone?

Violist, I see two problems with your character sheet. You appear to have spent 10 skill points too many, and the +1 magical from your armor should be included in its armor bonus rather than listed separately as a misc bonus. Incidentally, this means it doesn't count towards touch attacks, so your touch AC should be 13.

That's it for the actual rules violations, now for some other issues. Why studded leather instead of a chain shirt? The only reason to prefer the leather is the higher max dex, and your dex isn't high enough to be affected by that yet. If you're planning for the long term and thinking about when you'll have gloves of dex +6, just make the chain shirt out of mithril (+2 max dex) and it still won't affect you. The mithril chain shirt actually costs 75 gp less than +1 studded leather, gives the same protection now, and will cost less to upgrade in the future. If a max dex of +4 doesn't bother you, then 75 more gp can get you another +1 AC with a normal +1 chain shirt.

You're wielding a one-handed weapon, and only one of them. You should get something for your other hand, like a shield. If you're worried about keeping a hand free for spells with somatic components, keep in mind that a shield can be loosed as a free action combined with movement (http://d20srd.org/srd/combat/actionsInCombat.htm#readyorLooseaShield). If you think you'll be doing a lot of casting and then moving, just get a buckler (http://d20srd.org/srd/equipment/armor.htm#buckler). If you can wield a weapon in that hand, you can certainly use it for somatic spell components.

Randallw
October 27th, 2005, 11:45 PM
Violist, I notice you have a rapier and a dex of 16. I came across a rule once to use dex instead of str for bonuses to weapons like rapiers. I think the other example was scimitars. Maybe it's in the rules, I can't remember. Interested in doing that?

Weapon Finesse.

So would this three part answer make us Curly, Larry and Moe?

douglas
October 28th, 2005, 12:06 AM
The feat is Weapon Finesse (http://d20srd.org/srd/feats.htm#weaponFinesse), it only applies to attack rolls, not damage, and he's already got it. Hmm, just noticed that a shield's armor check penalty applies to attack rolls when using that, but that's easy enough to take care of. Bucklers and light shields only have an ACP of -1, so the improvement from masterwork quality is enough to nullify it.

NullAshton

Aargh. You know, I think I'll stop creating characters with Redblade and just do it by hand... I really hope my character isn't quite as dumb as Elan, but that seems to be how it's working out.

The Studded Leather instead of Chainshirt? I didn't see chainshirt, updated that a little bit ago.

*Sigh* You took care of the issues I pointed out only to introduce a few more.

+1 Chain Shirt only gives a total armor bonus of +5, but you have +8 listed. Even if you included the bonus from your shield in that (you shouldn't, that's a shield bonus), it's too high. The shield only gives +2, for a total of +7 combined armor and shield. Also, the shield bonus should be counted towards your flat-footed AC, making it 17.

You do not have the requisite 8 levels in the Fighter class to take Greater Weapon Focus, so you need to replace that with something else. If you would go back to Weapon Finesse except for the armor check penalty applying to attack rolls, just make the shield out of darkwood (http://d20srd.org/srd/specialMaterials.htm#darkwood) to get rid of even a heavy shield's -2 ACP. It only costs 100 gp extra for a heavy wooden shield.

I just checked, and Bards unfortunately do not ignore spell failure chance from shields. This may or may not matter to you, but if you want to be able to have no spell failure while still gaining a shield's AC bonus at the same time, you'll have to get it made out of mithril (which also gets rid of the ACP, btw). Even then, you'll have to make it a light shield or a buckler to get rid of the last 5%, though you might just ignore that as insignificant. Getting rid of the Ring of Sustenance would provide the necessary funds to pay for the mithril, and that ring really isn't all that important.

Hmm, I just noticed that none of the bonuses from your Persuasive and Stealthy feats are reflected in the misc colulmn. I think they got added in the ranks column just like what happened with Magical Aptitude and Kaylin's character sheet. Factoring that in, you actually spent the correct amount of skill points the first time, you just need to correct which column the four +2 bonuses from feats go in.

I'd suggest replacing Persuasive with Negotiator (http://d20srd.org/srd/feats.htm#negotiator). You have pretty much nothing in bluff and intimidate to help the Persuasive +2 bonus in those skills do much, but Negotiator's +2 to diplomacy and sense motive would help out two skills you've focused on with your skill points.

Stealthy also isn't a very good choice without also putting lots of skill points into hide and move silently, so I'd suggest replacing it with something else. In general, feats that give bonuses to skills are usually only worth it if you have a lot of ranks in the skills in question.

Violist

November 2nd, 2005, 05:36 PM
You're getting there. Just a few minor nitpicks and some mechanical problems with how you entered it into OpenRPG left.

I count 69 skill points spent out of 72. You have no ranks listed for Perform (Singing), while previous versions of your sheet had 3 in that skill. Perhaps that's where the missing points are supposed to be?

Speak Language (Dwarven) is listed, but with no ranks. Are you spending a skill point on it or not? You'll have to take the point from somewhere else if you do, though.

You have one too many languages listed at the bottom. Have you been playing elves for too long and forgot that humans don't get Elven for free? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Bluff should have +2 Misc from Persuasive, while I can't find the source of the +2 Misc you put for Gather Information.

Bards are spontaneous casters, which OpenRPG isn't set up to handle very well. You should probably do something like I did with Elorin, adding "Level 1 Spell" and such to your list in OpenRPG (will require xml editing), and using them to keep track of spell slots remaining. The actual spells should then all be set to a really high number prepared each day so that it's always the "Spell Slot Tracking Device"s that run out first.

You appear to have entered your attack bonuses incorrectly in OpenRPG. In OpenRPG, double-click on your character's node and go to the Weapons subsection of the Combat section. There should be two tables there. In the top table (first column "Type") enter your base attack bonus of +4 in the "base" column for both rows. In the bottom table, for each individual weapon enter only the modifiers that apply specifically to that weapon in the "damage" and "To hit mod" columns. The damage for your rapier should be 1d6+1 there, OpenRPG will automatically add your strength bonus when it rolls that attack. The to hit mod for your rapier should be +4 (+1 magical, +1 Weapon Focus, +2 Weapon Finesse).

You can edit the names of weapons and armor directly in OpenRPG, there's no reason for your rapier to not be noted as +1 in the attacks section or for your +1 mithril chain shirt to be described as an ordinary chain shirt in the armor section. You may have to restart OpenRPG before it will notice these changes, however.

Hmm, you still have a fair amount of money for mundane stuff left, why don't you make that shortbow masterwork with a +1 strength bonus for 375 gp? Masterwork adds +1 to hit, and the +1 strength will allow you to apply your strength bonus to damage (you'll have to include that in the damage field, unlike with the rapier).

Edit: I was checking spells to decide which one to recommend dropping for Cure Moderate Wounds (like it or not, you are the party healer here), and discovered that Spectral Hand is Sor/Wiz only.

Violist
November 2nd, 2005, 06:37 PM
Always something, isn't there... I just realised I forgot to list the skill points for the two Speak Language ranks I took.

The +2 to Gather Information is from me not being able to follow a straight horizontal line in a table, and misreading the Skill Synergy entry for Knowledge(History) as Knowledge(Local).

Spectral Hand is in there for no apparent reason as that should be Cure Moderate Wounds. Sorry I didn't check totally carefully, I did this just before I had to dash off to class.

Thanks for the tips with the weapons stuff... I almost always play Wizards, but since you have Lae'nal already, I figured I'd try Bard...

Just one actual "complaint". You need to make it clearer that the "+1" on your masterwork composite shortbow is the maximum strength bonus to damage, not a magical enhancement bonus. Also, in the weapons sections, the bow's misc bonus should be only +1, and the damage 1d6+1. Everything else looks right.

Besides that, I've only got an organizational suggestion: You've already got your spells known sorted by spell level. Now, move each of your "Spell slot trackers" to the beginning of the appropriate section, so that they split up your spell list into easily seen sections by spell level. Besides making it easy to see almost at a glance what level any spell in your list is, this will ensure that whichever spell slot tracker you need to use is always close in the list to the spell you're casting - just go up the list from the spell you're casting to the first spell tracker you find, and that's it.

So I can make sure of time differences I am posting the current time 12am (midnight)

Edit: I'm not sure, is the forum PST or EST?. I suppose someone can tell me how many hours, and thus what time in the morning, after midnight I should start.


I'm pretty sure the forum displays times according to whatever time zone you set in your profile.

Our standard time is 5 PST or 8 EST, which used to be 10am for Randallw. Now that Daylight Savings Time has ended/begun (it goes opposite ways north and south of the equator), the same time for those of us in the US is now noon in Australia. Congratulations Randallw, you get to sleep in a little more! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif. Hmm, is this enough that you won't need to skip your meds to get up in time?

So... is it confirmed that we are playing tomorrow (today)?

Randallw
November 8th, 2005, 06:10 AM
Yes indeed. I changed my computer time to PST and by my calculations 1700 was 8 hours ago, so by the looks of it I'll start tomorrow at midday for me and that should be right.

Randallw
November 8th, 2005, 06:55 AM
While getting ready I thought of working on my map. Wasn't sure if I've shown it before. Anyway I didn't do any changes, the idea being I build on the map as we travel, but anyway I thought the rough draft might be useful.

Addendum. The last campaign moved around the penninsula in the middle of the map. YOu might just be able to make out the glacier as a white bit. At the moment I can't work out how to take a picture of a small section. I have an idea I'll try tomorrow.

Violist

Excellent. I shall be quite interested to see how you manage to get me in the middle of a seige... perhaps I was a wandering minstrel, floating around inside the castle?

Randallw
November 8th, 2005, 09:09 AM
Was just about to go to bed when I realised something. It would be a big help if someone could tell me where there is any information in the core books on wages for working for people eg. how many gp a day you get paid for certain work. I'm too tired at the moment to work it out myself at the moment but it is a bit important for the game.

Take 3 levels of Fighter, and he still can. Of course, that is rather a ways off, and I think the most effective Arcane Archer builds usually don't bother with many Wizard levels...

Does anyone else have thanksgiving stuff? I guess we should start organising if the end of year break is necessary.

Fyron has told me he will be available, so I'll just wait to hear from Narf or Violist.

Randallw
November 29th, 2005, 06:15 AM
I think we can forget about tomorrows game. My colds tend to least 2 or 3 days and I had a nap this afternoon and it still flared up afterward. I think we should plan for the end of year break. Are we going to leave it till christmass week or do some of you have to do stuff like go to relatives the week before?

Incidentally Violist I'm interested in why you think I've had a rough life. I get my colds regularly and about the only noteworthy thing lately has been my sister and her husband and little Gabriel (and me a PA fan http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) moving in.

douglas
November 29th, 2005, 06:42 AM
Yeah, I think it's about time to break for the end of the year. Next week is Dead Week at my college, followed by Finals Week, followed by Jury Duty Week, followed by Christmas Week, then New Years, and then things finally settle back down. I have no idea how long jury duty is going to take, and I won't find out until the Monday December 19th. In any case, I'll be going home after finals, and I don't think my parents will like the idea of me installing OpenRPG on their computer and then monopolizing it for 3 hours to play D&D.

Randallw
November 29th, 2005, 07:03 AM
You should do what I did. Contract a disease, lose half your healing and be permanently excused from jury duty http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Edit: I of course meant hearing. I blame too much D&D.

Violist
November 29th, 2005, 07:56 AM
Hmm... it just seems like so frequently you're having to attend to rather interesting duties... illness, children falling down stairs.. *shrug* Seems a lot tougher than mine of current dullness... except, as douglas mentions, deadweek and finals week. Might be because I seem to not get sick frequently... twice a year, maybe.

I'm fine with an end of year break now if that's what everyone wants.

Same here.

Oh, and for jury duty they just sent me home after the first day and never called me back. They only had one case to pick a jury for and they didn't even get around to bringing me in for individual questioning before they'd filled it.

I have been thinking. Now I can see that violist said he was available last week, yet he didn't play and there's been no word this week, and Narf says he won't be there. What I wonder is if it is worth bothering with only 2 people, Fyron and Douglas.
