OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edited2)

[Jack Simth]

When I DM, I almost always post the log; those logs I didn't post, Narf placed on his website (see his signiture). Between the two of us, we have every log for each of the sessions, from the beginning, posted somewhere.

Almost; There's a few still on the drive. Not sure which; would have to sort.

[Violist]

Awesome. *starts reading*

[Jack Simth]

Oh.... and remember not to let OOC information influence your character's decisions.

[Violist]

Aww, you're evil

Incidentally, what is "spell dumping"? Been reading over the logs of last session... "books are fun"... hehehe... *goes back to textbooks*

[Jack Simth]

Spell Dumping is basically running through a very large chunk of your spells prepared on one encounter - for the duel, it was appropriet; other times, it leaves the character without blasting power if something else comes along....

[Violist]

Hmm. Probably already has that knowledge in-character...

I really should look into swinging a big stick for a career, it sounds so much easier than casting.

[Jack Simth]

That piece she knows, yes, but there's a few notes in the archives that she doesn't know in character.

And swinging a big stick is only sort-of easier; the hard choices are made at level increases, rather than at a session level; a Sorceror-type is in a similar boat. It's only the prepared casters that have to worry for the entire session "Hmm... how many encounters today.... should I use the Haste now, or save it for later? What about the Chain lightning? The Empowered Fireball?" A fighter doesn't run out of sword swings, a rogue doesn't run out of sneak attack. A spontaneous caster can just Hasten again later, or Empower the Fireball on the spot. However, with more limited options overall, the spontaneous caster must choose much more carefully at level-up than does the prepared caster.

Another practice tomorrow morn, I'll try to arrive by 11 AM. The node (updated with all the spell acquisitions and various items changing hands) is here.
