Its meta AF atm, but the last thread is sooooo stale. The Game surprisingly continues! Infernius is borderline suicidal with a stalker, Trump and Tracy finally got engaged, Torcuil is in hiding, Norfilly is eating candy, Taylor is getting praise and adoration, Alex is a statue, Yak Lee is the surprise contender in the Fight Club,... yeah so stuff.

why do get to meta game when i cant?
>>27149If I'm meta-gaming then that's a bad thing
>>27146>I don't really know what items to craft…I've been drooling over all the shit mudponies can't craft/use for a while now, so here is a few things your character can make on his own. Trumpaladin casts Divine Spells, and Paladins have the Craft skill for a reason. You don't need a new sword/armor, but there's other shit that you could use:
In four days, you could craft some gauntlets of Ogre Power:
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Gauntlets_of_Ogre_Power(I wish I could use some)
You could also craft a Cloak of Charisma, in the same amount of time, like the one Tracy's working on. I can be increased in power over time. The same thing would go for a circlet of persuasion (which I
know you want)
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Circlet_of_PersuasionIn one day, if Infernius helped, or you bought a scroll, you could craft a Phylactery of Faithfulness, and gain the giga-haxx power (for Paladins) to be able to tell in advance if an act will cause you to Fall (you still fall, even if you commit certain evils by accident). I don't think you ever designated a holy symbol to turn undead either (Infernius has his brand), so you'll need something to show them if you want to stop the zombies in their tracks.
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Phylactery_of_Faithfulness >>27153i thought only liches have Phylacteries.
>>27153Damn... These are nice, and pretty cheap too
>>27154As far as I understand, the liche's Phalactery is only a certain kind of phalactery that the spellcaster must craft to become one. It requires item creation feats.
(I wonder if Torcuil or Infernius could become one...)>>27155You character could craft other stuff too. I only bothered to list the stuff I thought you might actually try.
>tfw mudpony >>27156Just start listing all of the things that could be made. Like I said, we can trade items now
>>27157M8, just make that stuff first: those are the things you'll find most useful.
>>27158I'm NOT suggesting it by any means, but any spell-caster (except paladins, because of their Code) of 11th caster level can do it. The phylactery costs 120,000 gp and 4,800 XP to create.Idk if I should even tell you this, but Infernius would have to become Lawful Evil first to accomplish it, in order to remain within one step of his Lord's alignment (some gods prohibit their clerics from casting evil spells, but Hitler didn't bat an eye when Infernius cast Contagion to try to infect Torcuil, so I guess he's the kind of god who lets his clerics cast everything on the list); Hitler is definitely Lawful, and the mere act of creating the phalactery is as good as an all-out conversion to Evil. If Infernius ever became anything other than Lawful while Evil-aligned, he would immediately lose all of his Clerical powers and there'd be no way to restore said powers, and there would be no in-game way for him to get them back with what is known in this world (that I can think of).tl;dr: He could do it, but it'd be super edgy and would cost a lot of shekels.
>>27161I just listed for Trump you can create.
I mentioned the Brass Horn of Valhalla Earlier, although that'll take a while.
What are you looking for? You're a spellcaster: you can craft a LOT of stuff.
>>27163Make it.
>>27164Everything I just listed*
Ask, and I'll look some stuff up.
>>27164>i need to go from 9 dex to 15 to get access to two weapon fighting.
i want a dragon horn of Valhalla to replace my other one. ill work on that after i talk to ben and then thez.
>>27165Would you like the ability to cast "Cure serious wounds" on yourself once per day?
>>27162I only bothered to look that up because lichs are another one of my favorite monsters.>>27166GM says crafts will take 1 day per 1000 gp, fyi.
First and foremost, it'd be best to find the shekels those sandniggers stole. I'm thinking Cardishore.
>>27167>>27169>would IEveryone could use those.
>>27168they weren't in durpistan.... wait a second a communist town would be a pretty good hideout for thieves.
>>27170Woah, woah, woah. Don't get any ebil ideas. Becoming a lich is more than just looking like a skeleton: it's turning into a lifeless monster that barely remembers what it used to be.>>27172Cardishore is the wealthiest settlement I can think of around here.
>>27175I doubt: too militaristic and too uniform to leave spots for sandniggers to hide. They're not "swimming in wealth either".
The security of Cardishore is airport-tier, but high-level Assassins could slip through pretty easily.
>>27176they don't just have to be sand niggers you know.
>>27178jej but really though why just assume they couldn't disguise themselves as Aryan or Anglo.
>>27174Hey! That's my multiverse!
>>27177They don't have to be, and yet they are
>>27180They obviously would've.
I just gathered that Drow kind of look/act like Arabs. You read how eager Darkie was to die: he was like a jihadist. They're certainly more intelligent and clever than niggers, but they also have an overall violent/sinister disposition as a race.
>>27181>>27182hey im just trying to cover all our bases here.
I need to hit the hay soon.
Goodnight.
>>27181hey dude im sorry about earlier are we cool?
>>27078I went to sleep
>>27099There's 15 in total
>>27136>>27146No, I didn't. Its a bastard sword, meaning one OR two hands.
>>27182You're not even in the right ballpark.
I need to explain something: I'm not going to explain everything. Earlier on in the story I would offer tidbits and anecdotes both to stimulate progress and to illustrate that that there is a wealth of back-story and context that leads to "This guy" acting in a particular manner, or how shit ended up there, or whatever. I will still offer explanations, but more in the aftermath than anything because doing so in advance gives characters an artificial disposition that doesn't make sense. Also, those explanations will pertain to what characters show an interest in. I haven't said shit about Krenshall, because so far no one seems to give a fuck.
Take Darkie for example, I could explain his disposition and the reasons he is how he is, but that would bias the characters in a particular way. In the absence of such an explanation and rather than assuming he's a jihadist, you could try asking him. I mean, I made it pretty clear that he's vain as fuck right? Right. His head is still in the bucket, next to the Entertron if anyone wants to ask him questions.
On the subject of Dark Elves in general, if you want to disregard them as 'sand nigs', thats a player's prerogative, but it would be more accurate to regard them (behavior and habit-wise) as russian mafia. I think I mentioned that once,... oh yeah I did.
I realize these threads get pretty long-winded, and some details are easy to skip or forget. If I respond to questions with a bit of cheek, its probably 'cuz I've already answered that question.
>>27186hmmm i need to recruit some more.
>>27187yea i was gonna talk to him. its on my list.
>>27186Ah.. I guess I just associated them a bit with the Garuda from Zelda, so that's why I got used to calling then sand people..
>>27191But really, I found them similar to the old Nizari Assassin tribe (the one from which the term "Assassin" comes from) of the Middle East. The way they value stealth and cunning, but also have a cultural leaning to distrust others out of principle, because the notion of betrayal is so prominent in their society.
I also thought of that because of the thought of how they're not an inherently evil race (like orcs or whatever), but become evil early-on because they're brought up in a society/culture that suffocates good; which is why I associated them with Jihadists. Likewise, the Nizari sect of Shia Islam was practically an Assassination religion: trust/family didn't exist in their society; they too tortured their children from childhood to train them to toughen the fuck up, and their only medium of prestige/respect was in their admiration for the lethal and the cunning, with clergy being the closest thing they ever had to loose social organization.
I just have a habit of trying to find real-world allusions in media, even when they don't actually exist...
>>27192Yeah, I fucked up. Nizaris we're actually Persians.I'm rather interested in this races and the surrounding published material. They seem incredibly edgy.
>>27162TO LATE I'M GONNA FUCKING DO IT
Wait, whats a phalactery?
>>27194>Shouldn't have said anything>Now all the spellcasters are getting crazy ideasA phalactery is a religious/spiritual vessel of some sort. For a lich, it's the vessel that houses their "true" existence, and the only way to permanently kill one is by destroying it. It's typically a little box with a scroll of text that encompasses the memories of its past life, but could be any item. It's uber-expensive to craft.
Becoming a lich is Voldemort tier though. It's
>>27195So, its a box that basically contains their soul?
And they can't die unless the box itself is destroyed?
Intresting....
>>27196>soul>ImplyingTechnically yes, to both questions.
Don't plan on doing it. Even if you could afford the cost to craft it, it's a horrible thing to do.
>>27166>Two-weapon fightingA single fash-axe would suffice too.
>>27198I was just generalizing.
And trust me, I don't wanna do it. But it could make for an intresting boss...
>>27203I'm kind of impressed that you found a solution that was so I character for her. It makes it look like her initial breakdown was triggered because the news made her wonder if Trumpaladin was really committed to her, so the solution is to resolve the commitment question.
One flaw in the way it was done though is that Trumpaladin was carried up to 5000 or so feet to do it. It's scenic and all, but it makes it seem like proposing was "an offer he can't refuse," like the only way she'd let him down is if he proposed. I guess he could call Fae, jump off, and then see if she could make it on time/if Tracy would then one after to murder them both, but really he didn't have much of a choice except to propose. Yeah I know, Tracy is a >rapist and doesn't give a shit if her victim is actually willing or not, but it leaves open the question of "did he really mean it" and "will he try to break the engagement before the ceremony?"
For example, after the formal mounting and the scene in the grove, after Tracy (and (you)) went to sleep, I had Trumpaladin place himself in a position he could have murdered Tracy in her sleep, or easily had she woken up. This made proceeding with Tracy more of an affirmative choice, because he had tried to kill Tracy before on like three occasions but was stopped because of Inferius, Torcuil, or Thez, and was resentful for that. He was left muttering "I should have killed you when I had the chance" although it's not clear that he actually did have the chance. But by seeing an opportunity then deciding against it, it makes the kill or marry decision actually meaningful, because it's his choice, and he can regret the consequences if he gets it wrong.
>>27192Of course, that feminist/matriarchal social structure elliminates most chances of direct Middle-Eastern allusion.. I guess I just tied them together because of the emphasis on psychological warfare and use of poisons in their society.
I can see now though that there appear to be very few if any real world history allusions in thes books. Paladins though seem to be largely based off of Christian crusaders, with their healing skills and code of conduct.
>>27205I wrote that thing in-part ahead of time (I wrote a lot of action plans), although I wasn't entirely awake while I was typing it. I'm glad it turned out the way it did though.
I'm not using any more math for this stuff though: it was a retarded system to use in the first place. I've already figured-out how to play her in character, so I threw-away the booklet. From here on out, I'm making decisions on the fly.
>>27161Did you ever decide what your two Domains were? I figured Hitler's Domains would at least have War and Community under the list, but idk what your character chose.
GM is there something for those of us to do who don't wanna be a faggot wanna do something other than Meta game and deal with realtionship drama?
>>27190its on the list after talking to the drow
>>27161The list of stuff your character could craft is too long to bother with listing desu.. It all takes time anyway. What does your character need in particular?
As for me. I'm only going to have Tracy work on a few basic things while she's incubating these eggs, and then just steal everything she can get her hooves on, because mudpony Rogues can't really craft much at all. Thief lyfe 4ever (Pic related).
>>27212Oh hell no you're not loot hording again
>>27212i wouldn't mind a wisdom boost.
>>27215I saw that last night and was intending to craft one
if I can find an additional level 2 spell to cast today*goes to pony*
"Tracy, may I see one of the pearls from Kefka's jewelry?"
\r
>>27217You have the spell capacity for almost any item crafting
>>27213I wouldn't consider personal, non-collective kills/bounties to be loot-hoarding, but I never said I was going to keep it all for Tracy. If I steal something useful to other party members, I'll
redistribute accordingly. Half the stuff she's working on right now is for distribution.
Would you like a Mummified Elf Hand? Tracy has some other things in the oven, but they'll all take time. It was supposed to be a gift for Ponimaru, but you can have it if you really want it.
>>27218Did he have any pearls? I never saw any.
*gives pearl, if it exists*
>>27221And you should craft something and or help Tracy and I in crafting
>>27220>collection>redistributions accordinglyI wasn't aware Tracy was a Socialist
>>27222Well I guess he is at the tower
"Tracy, I heard you needed help crafting"
>>27220i mean we live in a port city pearls aren't that rare most likely.
>>27222He isn't required to do anything, m8. Don't put pressure on him. Just ask him or Infernius for spells on an individual basis if you want something, rather than impose normatives.
Like I said earlier, I'm playing a Neutral Evil Thief: I'll get loot through stealing. The last two loot-able characters were Rogue-types, so I lucked out there.
Dem digits though...
>>27223She's not. She's just a robber.
I just said I'd do it from now on because Trump's faggot will get upset if he doesn't get a cut of the stolen loot.
>>27226>robber that redistributes>socialistWhat the difference?
So what is Tracy crafting?
>>27223"Careful, that's my waifu. And she can get pretty rapey. Don't get raped. Or I will kill you. And your faggot will have a three day ban"
>>27225Yes.
*gives internet hug*
>>27226Well no shit he doesn't have to craft, but he's complaining about being bored, and he has a clear comparative advantage when it comes to crafting
>>27223What spells can he cast?>>27227It's not like I don't want to keep everything..Right now, the only arcane spell she needs are Rage on the hilt of Berserk Sword. Everything takes time, and I didn't start any projects that'd require arcane spells.. You character has the Scribe Scroll Feat as a bonus, so he should be able to write them more quickly. If he could scribe a few low-level spells, like Rage, those would be appreciated.
Magick items require 1 day per 1000 gp, so having scrolls in advance could help with future crafting.
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Scrolls>>27229>advantageIt's not a contest, m8..
>>27232Lets see, Torc can do upto lvl 7 clerical and wizard spells.
Anything though if he has a meme
>>27233Okay, I make you a club that looks like a section of curb, for curb stomping
>>27235Even better
>>27238Moon man would be more of a summon
>>27232>not a contestComparative advantage is a term from economics that refers to the ability of one nation to create goods of a certain kind better than another nation, or the ability of a person to produce a particular good or service better than another person. It's a term that refers to specialization in the division of labor. For example, if we needed some one to do something stealthy, Tracy would have a "comparative advantage" to the other members of the group, because she could do that better than anyone else.
I was saying Torcuil is better at casting spells than the rest of us
>>27234>>27235I'd like Finger of Death, if Tracy is ever going to craft one of these out of the Troll Skuklls:
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Mask_of_the_SkullThat'll also take Animate Object and Fly though, and would have to be cast on each day, if I'm not mistaken...
>>27242Fucking hell thats great
I'll do it free of charge
>>27241Okay, Torc I know for sure can do fly, Finger of death is possible along with animate object.
"You got the skull?"
>>27239moon-man would be a deity.
>>27240I know what comparative advantage is; I was just a bit confused by what I thought you were implying.
Anyway, before
anyone even thinks of crafting, the party needs to find the metal that the Drow stole. My best ideas are Cardishore and maybe Krenshal if not that, but Tracy is preoccupied with Animal-Rearing atm so she can't investigate... When the chance comes someone outta resurrect Darkie and try to milk some answers out of him (he'll be hungry too).
>>27243"Thanks, Torcuil."
*produces troll skull*
>>27239Sounds like a Construct.
>>27233>anti-negroLike a Bane weapon?
>>27246could a get a dual bane weapon?
kike/shitskin
>>27246Wosh, spells are cast
"Here you are murder horse"
>>27247Did you not like the curb stomp club?
