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.

>>44209I 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.
>>44211>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.
>>44211I'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.
>>44212Because (you) will abuse the hell out of it, taking away fun in one way or another
>>44214>taking away funHow is an ebin shadow suit less fun?
>>44215You'll find a way, I have faith in you. But it would only be the first of God knows how many dozens of other permanency abjurations
>>44219You won't abuse it, but... Uh... I don't know, wouldn't you rather have a different abjuration that isn't based on darkness?
>>44220I haven't looked at the list.
Its a really cool idea, but idk,... it would give Tracy auto-concealment, which means auto sneak attacks
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.
>>44224Can the level 4 abjuration spell stoneskin be made permanent?
>>44225Now
that is OP. It's a level 4 only relative to sorcerers, it's higher level for every other class
>>44225Well, yes technically, but it still expires after reducing 150 hp
>>44226Dude, why do you keep policing what everyone else wants instead of looking for stuff for yourself?
>>44228The shit I ask for gets denied anyways
As you said, (you) are a thief and will take everything, which you do, and you take it from us
>>44227Doesnt seem worth it then desu.
>>44229>you take it from usWhen was the last time she did that?
The most she's even taken recently was the Orb of Storms. You've had first pic out of most other things since then.
>>44231You'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
>>44232>You are not your fucking khakisI kind of agree with this
>>44232>rather than actual role play and encountersI've participated in almost every encounter, wtf?
>trying to play home-shopping-networkEh, I guess that's not far from the truth...
I just like looting things and using cool doodads. That's why I picked Rogue.
>>44234>I've participated in almost every encounter, wtf?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 just like looting things and using cool doodads.Okay, let's loot the Pyramid when we get the chance
>>44235>outnumber the number of roleplay and encounter postsTrue, but that's just what I do while The Game isn't in session.
>>44236I mean, we play 2-3 days a week, the rest is just meta shitposting, so I guess the shitposting might be somewhat disproportionate..
>>44237Of course, I'm always down for character development/dialogue.
>>44238*dry laughter*I guess I could do better...
I'll be away for the next hour
>tfw
>>44236I'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.
>>44243>or forget about items. Which ones? I have a list of everything she's in possession of.
>creativity is lostGood point...
Good times...
>>44243>figuring out how to cross a canyon can be a challengeAll the characters can fly though.
>>44243>mundane challengesI still haven't picked a single lock or detected any deadly traps, now that I think of it.
>>44245>Which ones? I have a list of everything she's in possession ofI 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 thoughAnd... 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
>>44247That's the spirit!
>>44248>I am absolutely certain that I have lost trackTbh, you don't really use half of yours.
>>44249Again, my point is that the game is more fun as an action-adventure RPG than as a home-shopping net work game
>>44250Then why do you keep them?
>>44251I've repeatedly tried to share several of them
>>44252Can Tracy use those bootz? She does extra damage when she flanks.
>>44253I 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
>>44254>flank and lay of hands attack Hillary ClintonYou 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.
>I'm jealous of six gorrillion hit point sneak attack damageWalk the path of the Blackguard with me.
>>44255How go get epic level blacksmith?
>>44254>Great SmitingActually, I think you can bypass the prereq for that and select it as a bonus at lvl 24 Paladin
or earlier with Blackguard.
>>44256Start by getting to lvl 20, then become a statistical demigod
(Demigod is actually stronger, maybe just an Abomination)
