/vx/ - Videogames and Paranormal

>>41250
They don't start out with 31 Str, the most I would give them so far is a 5. They are massive and clumsy (comparable Dex) tho, so don't get squished.

>>41251
Eh, I was just jumping the gun for character development.
Tracy doesn't see them as assets anyway; more like adopted children. It'd take a while before she would even be willing to let them see danger.

>>41252
They sound monstrously cute.

>>41254
I'm figuring that for the first few months, they're gonna be untrained Chocobos

>>41256
>>41256
Does it take a super high dexterity score and special feats for a character using a ranged weapon to have more than one shot in a round, or do they receive additional ranged attacks in a round if their base attack bonus is high enough for ranged attacks?

>>41240
Did I delet this by accident?

>>41258
Moderation log says "17 minutes/vx/ User deleted his own post #41253 (shadow deleted)"
Well, you deleted it

>>41259
I see the feats, I just want to know if that's the only way. Like if using a ranged weapon is a lot like using a natural weapon

>>41257
If i remember correctly from playing arrows get 2 attacks per round but that may have chamged in later editions then what im used to

>>41257
I'll have to think on that. From what I am seeing so far, the only way other than the feat to get more than 1 shots per round with a range weapon is with haste, the exception being small throwing weapons, since one can hold multiple in their hands.

When you create an Intelligent Item, do you also dictate it's personality, ego score, or specific purpose?

>>41263
You try,....

>>41264
So, you can create an item with a specific purpose and alignment, but all-in-all, it's its own character, is what I'm getting.

>>41265
Can animated Sentient items move on their own?

>>41265
For the overwhelming part yes, but the dice always get a say.
>>41266
Desu, I've never seen an in-game representation of such an idea, but the concept is sound. For example, I don't see why an Animate Item spell cast on Vandereim (assuming he waves the saving through, cuz why wouldn't he?) wouldn't allow him to hobble around and bend and twist, while still being a functional sword.

"Then I can get meself drunk!"

>>41267
Could he attack on his own?

>>41269
No, he can't swing himself

>>41270
Would he be capable of hacking into a locked liquor cabinet on his own if animated?

>>41271
Oh, I'm SURE he would think of something

>>41272
With regards to the Generals, the Spartan auxiliaries, and the Gestapo - what are their strength and dexterity scores? I know they are not heros, so they would not have 13s or 14s on probably anything, but the Generals are Football players and the Spartans are Spartans, so they've got to be above human average, right?

>>41268
Vandereim deserves to drink more often.
*brings over over barrel of rich, black Scottish spirits and removes top*
>>41270
Tbh, the reason why I was asking was because I wondered if it could be applied to Tracy's Everwhirling Chain. The chain can continue to attack its designated target even after its owner is rendered unconscious, so I wondered if it could attack on its own if it had its own ego, so long as it stayed within 60 ft of its wielder. Not that I really wanted a weapon that attacked on it's own, but more of a weapon that would just act as if it were, with a personality.
I kind of wanted to simulate the aesthetic aspects of an AntiPaladin's Fiendish Boon (thinking uber weapon with powers covered in blue ebil fire). Of course, it'd take a lot of time and resources to apply and Tracy simply doesn't have the means to do it, but I thought the concept of investing in a weapon similar to the Ghost Rider's "Spirit of Vengeance" would be really cool in the long run, if she ever finds the means. A chain with the ability to entangle enemies would be pretty useful in high-speed chases.
>>41273
I think their strength would probably be average, but their levels in warrior would increase their attack bonuses.

>>41273
I'm glad you asked. I hadn't gotten into this (and no, I'm not giving you their stats) but the spartans are significantly more skilled than the Gestapo or the Generals. What is happening is that the Generals and the Gestapo are learning from the Spartans, while the Spartans observe and experience the culture of Port Barry.
However, when it comes to Football, no one knows who will win the upcoming Generals vs. Spartans Football game. Combat skills are one thing, but this is Football, praise Elway.

>>41275
>What is happening is that the Generals and the Gestapo are learning from the Spartans, while the Spartans observe and experience the culture of Port Barry.
Interesting..
I wonder what Baz has planned.

>>41274
>>41275
>No one knows who will win the upcoming Generals v Spartans Football Game.
Elway knows, and Elway is on our side

>>41276
Expressly, he wants these cadets to experience Port Barry, participate as is appropriate and useful to themselves and the Port, and eventually report their findings.

>>41278
So, they're mostly just watching us, so Sparta can get a better understanding of what's going on in Port Barry.

"I mean I know he's a squirrel, but he's seriously the best leader and military mind evar."

>>41280
He'd better watch his neck around Tracy, is all I'm saying.

>>41278
Should send a pigeon to him to tell him the Court City is more vulnerable than normal

>>41281
The cadets you would be talking to for this exchange to occur start to snicker.
"Our money is on Baz." more giggling.

>>41281
We noticed

>>41283
'.. I won't miss that little rat next time...'
Tracy thinks to herself.

>>41284
Gotta' stay in-character..

>>41285
The cadets can hold back their laughter. "Make sure we can be there!" "Yeah, we wouldn't want to miss it!" continued laughter.

>>41287
Just as an approximation, how much shit would the party have been in if he failed that save back then? Would we have been toast?

>>41288
Hard to say. It was a banquet, so few were fully armed, but everyone had a proper blade, and there were alot of Spartans

>>41287
"She's a foolish horse, don't mind her"

>>41283
People who have reputations tend to have done something to acquire it. People who want only one thing, and focus most of their effort on it, tend to have success in acquiring it.

Baz has a strong reputation at being a legendary one on one fighter. Sparintenar is focused on fighting wars. So my bet is that Baz is a superior one on one fighter and Sparintenar is a superior military city

I would not be surprised if the Airship was from Sparintenar, given that
1. The Spartans disappeared during combat but evidently did not shy away from it, suggesting they may have been relaying a message during combat
2. Airships are techne based, not magical, which is more in line with the capabilities of Sparintenar than most of our magical enemies, and
3. The airship seemed to be targeting things around the Port, but not the Port itself

>>41285
"Neither will his RPG miss you"

>>41288
Release smoke screen, Mount Cauchemar, Ethereal Juant. That would have been my move. Hell if I know if we would have lived long enough to execute it

>>41289
Would he have actually died then?

I take it back, its not hard to say, cuz it was Trump, Tracy, and Taylor. Mincemeat, even without Baz.
>>41291
"Of course not. I ain't gonna spoil anything, but never bet against the squirrel with a motherfucking bazooka. Just sayin'"

>>41292
Reeeeee Trump and Tracy aren't that weak

>>41292
>never bet against the squirrel with a motherfucking bazooka
That was my guess

"And if you're thinking to yourself "I didn't say that out loud", I know but I'm the GM. I've been thinking about haxx on the game, and this is mine. Consider it inspired by DDLC, but I can make anyone say or do whatever." his eyes dilate into black voids. "If I want."
His eyes immediately return to normal and he resumes character, "... I don't know what I was just sayin'. But anyway, we have a saying in Sparintenar. It goes "Baz, he'll whup yo ass."

>>41291
I mean, the mechanics of "rolling to bite the little faggot's head off" are somewhat confusing to me. I guess most creatures that attack by taking their victims into their mouths do so with a grapple check, although most creatures would be close to helpless once their heads are in a predator's mouth in her mouth, even if they do get an attack of opportunity, so I guess it might've been simple from there.. I'm just wondering, because I kind of want to have her bite something's head off next time she gets the chance.
Of course, that squirrel probably has some awesome dexterity, and the skills to slip out of that situation pretty easily. Part of why I rolled was because I didn't expect to even get close to him, just shitposting about the consequences of trying to buy the married ghost-horse.

>>41296
That's more from the pseudo-cadet dialogue

>>41295
The people we meet try to buy Tracy. That's just what they do.

I mean, think about it. Wouldn't you want to buy a Cauchemar? Those things are sexy as fuck. In terms of combat, speed, supernatural abilities, and also in the literal I-would-have-sex-with-one sense

>Bite something's head off
A Cauchemar has a +18 attack and 2d6+5 damage bite, and please don't fuck up my diplomatic efforts

>>41298
Yeah, I'll try not to fuck-up diplomatic stuff, but I really had fun that time
>>41298
>The people we meet try to buy Tracy.
I'm sure they will, although she'll let them know she's a married mare, one way or another.

Uh Trump, as an emerging legal authority, might you consider checking the last couple posts of the Dive-grass cup thread for expert opinion?

>>41300
I saw that post. Even if the document didn't have the date as "January 4 current year," the person as "Lauren Faust," the location as "Equestria, South Africa," and the suing entity listed as /mlp/ and not the corporation that owns 4chan, I would say it is a joke just because of how ridiculous the claim is

>I'm an AC whore
It's better not to be so open about it... Bragging is the worst way to get a situational nerf.. (i.e: the walls of the Court City)

>>41333
Excellent point and noted. What happened at the walls of the court city that was a situational nerf?

>>41334
Eh, I don't think it really was one, but it's an example of such a situation, since Tracy could've pretty easily phased through the walls of the dungeon if they hadn't been condition against it. The Session would've been kind of bland had they not been, right?It would've been boring.
The point is, if you focus largely on one of your characters traits, regardless of how great it is, you can expect to be put in situations where you find that trait next to useless; because that's a go-to way to make the game more interesting (in fact, I welcome it, somewhat).
Focusing on one style will allow you to excel in that style of playing, but it also leaves you squishy for cryptonite scenarios. Adaptable styles are more of my fancy, because I like to change my mind a lot and change for different scenarios. Think of a bastard sword: it's meant to be a one-handed and two handed weapon to fit the niches of the character wielding it, whether they want to fight with both hands, or use a shield for defense.

>>41335
I definitely noticed I wasn't able to ride anything mounted. After committing to a heavy Cavalry fight style...

>>41335
Although, lecturing other players about adaptability isn't much coming from a character who used haxx to become a Shapechanger...
>>41336
Riding a Huge creature in any kind of dungeon is kind of bullshit desu.
>committing to a heavy Cavalry fight style
How many ranks did you put into Ride btw? Just want to know for the sake of rapid mounting/dismounting.

>>41337
Although, I guess having that many ranks in Ride isn't that necessary when your mount is a PC character. The shoes really do help with it too.

>>41337
>How many ranks in ride
Hard to say. At level 17 Trumpaladin would have 80 cumulative skill points (if the additional 1 ability point acquired at level 16 were not placed into intelligence. Otherwise, it would be 81). 63 of those are accounted for, leaving a possible 17 points to allot into Ride (and concentration). Unless I can reallocate the 18 points I put into Profession, which I did to make the "Make Port Barry Great Again" less bullshit, and because at the time I thought Thez was going to cut my character off, so it would be necessary to borrow money.

>Riding a huge creature in a dungeon is bullshit
I estimate both Tracy and Fae to be in the vicinity of five and a half feet tall at the shoulders, Fae being a little shorter at the head than Tracy because of how Lionesses carry their heads lower. That's not impossible, I think

>>41339
>PC character and shoes
Shoes definitely help. I was under the impression that a Paladin's mount requires a hell of a lot less finesse to ride than a regular mount, because of it's intelligence and special connection to the rider

>>41340
You said Fae was Huge-sized? I thought monsters didn't grow from ranks they got from class levels.
I guess the Paladin's Mount might be a unique character class, even though that implies that most Paladins trot around on gigantic fucking horses.
>shoes help
The shoes really help with attack feats and whatnot, although they don't allow the same AC bonus as the Mounted Combat feat.
He should train with Tracy to get that feat while she trains for Mobility.

>>41341
Not to mention Divine Emissary mounts.. fucking enormous..

>>41340
>>41342
If you want to be a Divine Emissary btw, it'd be best to put at least 10 ranks into Knowledge Religion.

>>41341
>Monsters don't grow from character levels.
That's true, but the size increase comes from the 8 Hit Die added by the Paladin's mount. Dragonnes start with 9 hit die, but advance a size catagory at 12 or 13 hit die.
>Paladins riding huge fucking horses
I don't think horses advance size categories, but that's more or less what historical European Cavalry did. European cavalry horses were about twice or at least one and a half times the mass of Islamic cavalry horses

>>41342
>Divine emissary mounts
I noticed you can even get a Cauchemar at high enough levels. That would be cool

>>41343
Oh I don't know what I'm doing with this character after he's gained everything he can from the Paladin class

>>41344
>the size increase comes from the 8 Hit Die added by the Paladin's mount.
Paladin's mount is a character class, like Familiar, Animal Companion, or Fiendish Servant.
Like i said though, it's probably unique in that matter of advancement.
Now that I think of it, shouldn't Torc's Snek be Gargantuan by now? That's a big snek.
>I noticed you can even get a Cauchemar at high enough levels.
I read that too, but only under Nightmare lore on wiki sites related to the books (apparently they're supposed to be special heirloom breeds sometimes awarded to black knights by ebil gods). Where did you read that one?

So, what are you faggots fighting about tonight?

>>41346
Nothing really yet

>>41347
Break out the champagne its a fucking miracle.
>>41345
>Mr. Snek be gargantuan
How big would that put the snek? He's already ~20 ft

@41349

>>41352
Hahah...

>>41348
He should be at least twice as long now...
If you enchant him with enough Abjurations, he could make for a great instant-fortress to hide under.

>>41355

Holy shit my fucking sides are gone

>>41359
You should make the staff intelligent (AnCap Alignment), so he can activate on his own, and Make some Handle Animal checks to train him for the General Purpose of Guarding.
Actually, that's a DC 20 check. I guess Tracy could train him for you, since she has ranks in it.

I g2g

>>41360
>train snake
It's a familiar. It'll do it all at command. Also I doubt it's gargantuan (I can't find the wiki page where I am right now, so I can't confirm)

>>41360
I was actually gonna put a cople levels in animal shit anyway cause I still wanna get a couple levels in Ranger.
>>41361
I'm not finding anything, but I like this
>25 str
I can't find size though

>>41333
Dammit, no spoilers
>>41362
Its Yuuuge

>>41362
handle animal is a skill.

>>41362
You don't get any Ranger spells until 5th level. Also, if you want Animal shit, better to go with Druid, then you could advance as a Wizard and a Druid via Mystic Theurge.

>>41361
>It'll do it all at command.
Training an animal for a general purpose gives it the skills and understanding to do shit.

>>41366
It's not a real animal though. It's an animated staff that can take the form of a giant snake, and that takes the commands of its magical master

>>41367
If it could function as a familiar, it must count as an animal to at least that extent.

>>41368
>Tracy's faggot wants Torcuil's shit to be by the book
e_e

>>41369
.. Sorry.... I'll shut up...

>>41372
Familiar Hit Dice are considered to be equal to their master's HD, however that doesn't determine familiar hit points, which are equal to 1/2 their masters HP rounded down.

>>41373
Even if the hit points are lower, do they still grow in size via increased dice?

>>41374
Generally no, and specifically not in this case no. The familiar is considered to have a unique and proprietary magical connection, whereas the Paladin's mount is more of a divine partnership.

>>41375
I see.

>>41364
Thats what I meant
>>41369
You gotta do the cooking by the book, if the way is hazy-
I'll stop now

Lazy Town memes are the best.

>>41379
but its number 1

>>41385
Hi GM, how long is Mr. Snek?

>>41385
But Fae can be of huge size category, correct?

>>41385
I love that meme.

>>41386
I cannot detect a metric for determining length. It is listed as a "Huge" creature, and its listed as a "Giant Constrictor"
>>41388
That's definitely one of my favorites
>>41387
I don't understand what is in contention

>>41389
Shall we say ~25ft long?

>>41391
At least on a racial scale for length, "Huge" should be anywhere between 16 ft and 32 ft I think.
He has a lot of HD, so I'd say at least 30.

>>41391
That works

>>41389
Those out of context campaign quotes are pretty great, imo.

>>41395

There are a whole bunch just on Jewgle, but the idiots who make them hardly ever bother to pair the quotes with semi-relevant pics.

>>41424

>>41428

>>41430
Yeah, I determined she could be almost anywhere

>>41431
She is:
Not in the port
Not in the mountains
Not in any other city
Not in the tower
Not in the exact spot of her grove

Now my next step would be to start inquiring about whether the forests you have seen thus far are "thick and over grown" or thinner. This could tell you if it's a nearby forest or one well far away

Basically. Just an item that detects certain types of creatures, instead of just dealing extra damage.

>>41435

Apparently, Tracy wasn't actually able to do very much damage, despite her efforts...

>>41437
Isn't that what Sting does?

Yes.

Better.
Also, Y U spoiler?

Trips?

Damn that's fuckable

>>41437
I don't think there is a d&d spell that specific, since most of them only do vague things like "detect chaos" or "detect undead." But if GM approves it, make one for dragons. I want to go dragon hunting.
