With Nuts of course.

Happy Holidays to everyone! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Yule, Hearths Warming, or some other degenerate (Kwanza) or (((unspoken))) tradition, I hope you have a safe and 'as happy as possible' holiday season as you no doubt maneuver in and out of the world of normies and others!
I have no idea if any crucial gaming will occur weekend, but its about to get funky-fresh on several fronts. We last left Torcuil trying to navigate through Krenshal for someone skilled and crazy enough to build a Robo-ponk. Trumpaladin and Tracy were getting their things together to hunt a Unicorn with Elway's blessing and direction. Thez is being a little bit emo (its the hormones) while Infernius continues being a dutiful and upstanding guy.
What will happen next, and in what order? Will the players defy GM's careful designs for the umpteenth time? You can bet on that!

Your skill points is equal to 2+int modifier per level, plus (2+int modifier)x4 at the first level, as well as 4 at the first level plus 1 per each additional level as a racial feature.

Torcuil has an int of 16, thus a modifier of +3. Torcuil has 99 skill points in total to allot.

He has 4 ability points in total to allot, although I would not be surprised if you have allotted 3 of these already

Decent points. To be honest, the only reason I haven't had any issue with it so far is because Tracy hasn't really done anything useful with them so far (what? its true,....). I don't mean to diminish the irritation that others have experienced, but none of it has really affected gameplay.
>>37867
>white armor
I was thinking it, for the record
It means (Intelligence modifier +2)x19 are the skill points that can be applied. They don't matter much, but they may as Torcuil gets more jiggy with custom spells and such (I'd also recommend Spellcraft)

Also, part of why I want Tracy to make relations with Hags is that I feel like I kind of bullshitted that last requirement for Blackguard. When I first read about the class as "one who was empowered by the fiends" I jumped on it, because Tracy had just gained power by consuming the essence of two different fiend. The thing is, she didn't gain that power through Diplomacy, she stole it. I want to own this Blackguard theme and make her become a master of monsters.

Now feats are a whole different area, and one I suggest paying more attention to. Feats amount to "techniques", "tricks", "abilities", or otherwise individual nuances and devised strategies that often result in unique or novel moves/actions. For spellcasters in particular, there are a number of metamagic feats that allow quickened casting, silent casting, maximized casting, etc. of whatever spell. A fireball does 1d6/lvl of damage, but a maximized fireball does 6/lvl of damage.

>exact opposite fighting style of a rogue or assassin
They get Sneak Attack too; that much is useful. 1d10 HD per level isn't bad either, and Aura of Despair is useful with the Assassin's Death Attack.
I at least want five levels; then she'll be able to summon her Fiendish Servant.
I'll admit that everything beyond lvl 5 is really just Dead Levels though. Smite Good is really only useful for Fallen Paladins. I'll probably put it into Assassin or Rogue after that.
My bottom line point is that I want to play an ebil character, and I feel like I haven't been ebil enough lately. I want to crack it up a notch.

Are you sure? In the past three days you've been complaining about looting a sword taken from a defeated enemy who helped to steal massive resources from the party and the city they are supposed to be protecting, saying "it belongs to him." You've also complained about a horse's life being valued less because it's not of use to the party, "that's not how you value life anon." And this besides feeling the need to resurrect enemies like zombies.

It's okay if you want to play a lawful good paladin. Just have her put on the helm, and she can POOF be the Paladin she believes her husband ought to be

I didn't complain, I said I wouldn't do it because he'd probably just immediately figure out who stole his stuff.
Also, meta discussion is not the same as chgaracter development. My standards are not that of the character I play.

A fasce is just an axe wraped in rods of wood. Put all of the rods together around a bigger axe, and you've got a weapon twice as large. It should optimally be tied with a red band.

Even with your bullshit Ethereal haxx you should have failed a hide check from the conversation and she never would have trusted you. Literally the only reason you were able to get her at all was because you begged GM "I've been here six hours to do one thing. Let me do that one thing." You did not earn that

Of stop. Normally, you'd have to wait until level 23 and become a Divine Emissary if you wanted to cast Holy Word. If you can have epic-tier out-of-class abilities, why can't I?
