John Elway's Crazy Nuts

So Tracy has been soaked in the blessings of pure Elway, on his hallowed ground of Mile High. Some weird tentacular thing came out of herdon't even look at me, this was pure player RP, but it was exquisite, so who am I to argue? and is dissolving into the turf, while Trump and Fae and several of the Generals eagerly anticipate the result of their careful and brilliant maneuver.

If you're just joining us, I can simplify these threads really simply: Its a text-based RPG based loosely on D&D 3.5ed, except there's a shitposter in place of the computer. Feel free to interact, as you will. whether for conversation/bantz ("Random passerby says: You're a faggot.") or whatever.

I think there's a reason the original permanency list limited the number of possible spells to a small number. There is a never ending set of possible abjuration and what have you spells to make permanent.

Just do it on a case-by-case basis then. I don't see why a campaign should only be limited to what the game makers decided on.

I'm sure there was, but what fun would that be? I'm not going to let it just be cast and made permanent like that, anymore than Tracy can 'just' make a pair of Wolf boots.

Nevermind, it only conceals features (as with a cloak) but not their person (so no sneak attacks). I can tell its for higher-level campaigns because it caps out at 41st level. I'm gonna say as a quest-augment, I'll probably allow it.

You've done it before. Besides, you've changed these threads into "GM can tracy craft x" rather than actual role play and encounters. Rather than trying to play home-shopping-network and just collect things for the sake of collecting things, or try to make characters perfectly invincible so there is either no challenge at all or too much challenge when we need to face invincible opponents, try to optimize, be practical, and above all be reasonable in items

Yes, but the number of "GM can Tracy get x magical enchantment, craft y item, or get le ebin z super power item for free" posts in these threads outnumber the number of roleplay and encounter posts.

I've noticed. But you still claim warehouses full of items from it, or forget about items. We all have items that we've recieved and forgotten about. I have abilities and items I forgot about, GM has forgotten about items, Torcuil has absolutely forgotten about items. It's barely about characters anymore, just items and abjurations and spells and haxx and so forth it feels like.

Remember when you killed three - three! - giants with nothing more than two daggers, a simple mud pony, a desire to stab and a waifu toss from an ally? That doesn't happen anymore. It's all "try to figure out x magical whatever/find the item we've got for this" and the creativity is lost. For example, balance, jumping, climbing, and swimming are all skills, even class skills, for many characters. Just figuring out how to cross a canyon can be a challenge - a fun challenge. Platform games like Uncharted are in substantial part about mundane and simple challenges like this. But when your character can just fly - and can only fly because begged for haxx - the fun of mundane challenges is gone.

I didn't accuse you of losing track of items. But I am absolutely certain that I have lost track, and Torcuil has lost track, and GM has lost track. And I know we have things we have never used

>All the characters can fly though
And... you've perfectly missed my point. There's almost an entire level in Uncharted 3 devoted to swimming through a ship-graveyard, and climbing through the wreckage of ruined oil tankers and container ships trying to find places to climb and jumping between steel beams, all the while being challenged and shot at by pirates. Thanks to the proliferation of haxx and items and spells, I will never have as much fun trying to do the same in this RPG as I could in that video game. But frankly, that was just an example. I could go down a long list of ways haxx kills fun.

Also, if my character has to hitch a ride in order to avoid falling to death, so can yours

I want to flank and lay of hands attack Hillary Clinton first though. But I'm sure she'll end up with them eventually. But I would like the charm and the cloak, for at least part time use. I really, really want the Epic Leadership feat, and the Great Smiting feat is a prerequisite for the Divine Emissary class. Both require 25 charisma, which my character is 7 points away from. Also I'm jealous of six gorrillion hit point sneak attack damage

You can move 30 ft in one round, can't you. Would be a great finisher thought. Would love to see it.
>Epic Leadership feat, and the Great Smiting feat is a prerequisite for the Divine Emissary class.
Yeah, I noticed 3.5e has a whole lot of impractical classes, monsters, items and ebin spells made for unbalanced campaigns of epic level. After looking at the books they came out of, I think they're mostly for experienced players and DMs who just make up their own rules so they can play legendary heroes.

Start by getting to lvl 20, then become a statistical demigod (Demigod is actually stronger, maybe just an Abomination)
