This thread begins at the start of the week, where developmental/story activity is minimal/nil and shitposting/meta is at its most emphatic.
This is an RP based on classic D&D, if you've looked at the catalog you might have noticed a trend. New players, random posters, and shitposters alike are welcome.

>>49512It doesn't work that way: a paladin's mount advances by the paladin's powers, not necessarily by any deity. You're confusing paladins with clerics again.
>free super powersIf he's fine giving her the extra juice to maximize the fiendish-transformation ability that she augmented her body with using the essence stole from a demon, I doubt standard features of the underling class are off of the table.
>>49517from a demon and a devil, actually
>>49514Give it the power to zap people when they're acting like faggots.
>>49517Okay, well while she's not mounted she's not a mount
>I doubt standard features of the underling class are off the tableFor a loyal church member, of course they are not off the table. Mounted form makes a difference because then she's at least being
observed by someone who is trusted
>>49520She was just baptised: did that not mean anything?
>>49522Not if she's going to immediately leave the church and join God knows what other different religion
>>49520>while she's not mounted she's not a mountThey've been using empathetic link for months.
Why does it apply to some abilities but not others? I've been operating under the assumption that everything but the Str and Extra HD worked.
>>49523So tshe only got nerfed that day?
>>49522Because anon, you get some haxx, but you don't get infinite haxx. You don't get every single cheat you want.
Yes, empathic link operates continuously. I just said that a few posts ago in
>>49507As for nerfs and benefits, I don't know. I'm not GM, and I never would have approved the 6 or so Supernatural abilities you cheated your way into a couple months ago.
I would say that it opens the door to benefits though, but these benefits have very basic requirements to them like not immediately joining a different church
>>49525>emphatic link operates continuouslySo does spell resistance.
>churchMounts are not normally church members: that's not a regular requirement.
>>49526She's not using +10 Natural Armor so she can go serve Azathoth or Rockwell or whatever other god you want her to follow, let me put it that way. +6 Natural armor to serve Elway or at least, to be neutral, then sure
>>49527I only wanted to find another divine source to replace the powers that got nerfed that day: as far as she's concerned, getting gatorade-poisoning has only been a detriment on her abilities so far.
>>49526>Mounts are not normally church membersMounts don't go joining and serving opposing religions either
If the Knights Templar found that their horses had somehow converted to Islam and also would slip away to serve Jihad or what have you, the Knights Templar wouldn't have said "here's some nice armor for you while you go"
>>49528You just want more. You'd do it even if it gave more superpowers. That was a story-line excuse for a nerf that should have happened regardless
>>49529If being a member of a church only downgrades her, why would she be part of it?
>>49530First off, that shouldn't be the sufficient condition to downgrade, the "upgrade" should never have existed in the first place, or at least, should have "worn off over the passage of time." Second, it really should be a precondition to marriage. Finally, who said there are only downsides?
>>49532We'll figure that part out
>>49535I was talking about how I would have explained it. It was bullshit to begin with
>>49536>It was bullshit to begin withSo is you getting a Dragonne instead of a horse, and being able to say football
at will. >>49537I did not ask for either of those, Football is once per day
not at will, and both you and GM were making fun of Fae for being weak before I figured out how to use the existing set of rules to get more power out of her
>Torc softly hums shadilay while using Snek like a beanbag chair.
>>49538They're still out-of-class special abilities though.
How is Tracy's transformation any different?
>>49540Because of the degree. You want Etherealness
at will, A supernatural smoke breath weapon
that operates as a free action, a perfect smoke screen that gives concealment
and you can see through, and you want to stack this with rogue special abilities.
And you want to set the scenery on fire at will.
And you want the ability to fly
very fast and good maneuverability.
And you want the much, much high strength these forms give, and to use a magical weapon while doing this.
>>49541And you want Dark vision,
and you want Astral projection
>>49542>>49541None of that satisfied you though. You wanted more and more and more free haxx, with ideas like eating every creature that exists and so forth
>>49541Her ability is basically just limited Shapechange.
You do plenty of things that bend standard rules too, like wearing two suits of armor, and then stacking that AC with the deflection bonus from your bracers.
>>49544First off, a shape change doesn't do that. It doesn't give you the supernatural abilities, only the other abilities. And I never asked for the stacked armor bonus, it was just given. You, by contrast, keep pushing and pushing and pushing and pushing. I counted four different had requests in a single Wednesday earlier this month. It's like "if you give a mouse a cookie" with you
>>49545Why dont you appreciate all you have instead of trying to get tracys thing taken away? Its almost like you are a communist.
>>49546Polymorph and Alternate form don't
>>49547This
I'm sick of hearing about it.
All the players got haxx, including you.
>>49547I do appreciate it. He just keeps relentlessly asking for hand outs
>>49548It is none of those things: it's a unique ability.
>>49549You don't appreciate, you just beg and beg and beg relentlessly for more
>>49552Because you're intent on playing in a way adverse to my goals. So I have to be weary of an enemy
>>49554Okay, you're pushy and demand handouts. All the same
>>49555>playing in a way adverse to my goalsWhat are your goals? How have I got in the way of any of them?
Contrary to you, I've actually made very little progress in the role that I wanted to play: a soccer-playing serial killer. It's not that I could't do those at any time, but that I never wanted to cause party drama.
>>49555>demandI demand nothing. I take what I can get.
tbh, I'm entirely fine with hearing that Tracy doesn't actually get the underling class features, or that her powers have been nerfed for whatever reason; but
you are
not the Anon I want to hear that from.
Stop acting like it's your job to levy the rules.
>>49557>goalPrecisely. It would've stupid not to think of her as the villain
>I take what I can getLook, if your begging for cheats, demanding cheats, or just cheating when you can cheat, it's all the same. It goes very far beyond just a few things to make the game more fun. It makes the game much less fun when I have to compete with that - and am entirely unable to - when you want to take a unicorn and hide her or when you're trying to steal the entire set of loot
>>49556Why are you being hostile? When has Trumpaladin ever been hostile to Infernius?
>>49561Trumpaladin is a conservative, Infernuis is a nationalist socialists. The ideology dont really get along.
>>49563My personal ideology, in terms relationships to different value systems, is "don't fuck with me or mine, and I won't fuck with you or yours." Trumpaladin, shrewd pragmatist, wants only peace. No need for fear or violence
>>49562The one he got before the party went after Infernius.
He only ever used it while he was absent and Infernius rolled a 20 for Torc to use it on him.
>>49566
>deleting comments you disagree with
>>44567 →Because I'm not going to spend my entire class on my phone arguing with you,
>>49568You don't have to. It's not an argument.
>>49564>don't fuck with me or mine, and I won't fuck with you or yourI never even once complained about your stuff, so stop ranting on about mine.
>>49571Ikr. I had to step away for a moment then.
>>49572I came back, read it, and I was in fucking tears
>>49573It's not often that you watch someone roll a 20 against themselves.
>>49574Its not often you see infernius' faggot roll a 20
>>49576Totally not here currently
>>49576I'm completely out for over an hour
>>49578Will we have time to advance tonight?
>>49583I thought I heard we were going to do something tonight. I guess I was mistaken.
>>49584You're not mistaken, I just wasn't certain what you meant.
>>49585So what are we doing then?
>mfw think for a moment and can't even remember the last time I made a successful Sneak Attack
Well shit...
>>49587..I need more living enemies in isolated locations...
>Torc sits up and guides snek towards Thez
>>49589Am back!
>>49588Presumably most threats to inter-city commerce and resource extraction fit that description, being either bandits, magical beasts, or animals. They will need to be entirely cleared out in the civilizing mission
>>49589Tracy continues running, phasing through Fae and Infernius.
>>49591i want to be a Witcher so much...
>>49592That'll cost an action and we don't know where the guy is. Just run past or through them
>>49594She has the quickening feat: it's a free action.
>>49595>quickening featCome again? When did this happen?
>>49594>Just run past or through themNot worth the risk of slowing down.
I'll lose my mind if this faggot gets away.
>>49596Quicken spell-like ability was the second feat I selected for her after Improved Sunder.
>>49597Then cut through the room in front diagonally, that's my best bet of where he went (to the right on the hall)
Don't be surprised in the absolute least if there is an entire horde of Devourers. It's much safer to go down the hallway. Also, when did she learn the dimension door was ended?
>>49597I don't think that's true, but eh
>>49594Even if it costed an action, I doubt she couldn't do it while running.
>>49598>there is an entire horde of DevourersThen they'll have to catch her first.
They would've already attacked us anyway.
>>49599No no, here's the thing. Running is a full round action that would allow a speed of ~450-500.
But it could only be done in a straight line, which we do not have. However, if she moves at 100 ft in a move action, it stands to reason that she could move 200 ft in a full round action while not running. That is, she could turn corners. That's what we need. Ethereal plane slows movement by half. Yes GM said otherwise in the past, but in this thread he said he was thinking of the Astral Plane when he said that.
>>49600If she just runs past them that provokes an attack of opportunity. Thez warned the plane is dangerous, that means it's dangerous
>>49597I'm betting you he already got away. This is just a possible way of finding him if he hasn't already
>>49601>Running is a full round actionShe already
walks at 100 ft, and the hallway isn't even 40 ft long.
>Ethereal plane slows movement by halfShe's just going to juant through them momentarily so she doesn't have to Trample them.
>>49602>attack of opportunityTrample while blowing smoke. I'll take the risk.
>>49604Yes. She needs to
walk fast down several hallways
>I'll take the riskWhy? She can't find the mage if her soul is sucked
>momentarilyIt will last a full round
I want to emphasize that
1. We do not know where he went
2. We cannot track him
3. He's had a three round head start, and
4. A human can go over a hundred feat down several corridors and through doors in three rounds
>>49601I do tend to drink when its on, and since you're here now
>>49604She does not
walk at 100'/round. She
moves at 100'/round without penalty.
>>49598Yeah, she hasn't learned about the anchor yet.
>>49606Can she do a full-round movement at 2x speed without penalty?
[3d20 = 16]>>49606infernuis full round tickles thez
>>49605>It will last a full roundIt doesn't take a full round to blink through two creatures when the ability is a free action.
>when did she learn the dimension door was ended?When she saw Thez <WOOF> earlier.
>>49609I don't think you can use this alleged feat to Blink. And I don't think that's what Thez doing whatever she does means
>>49610>blinkI mean phase quickly. It's a free action for her to jaunt.
The alternative is trampling.
>>49607No! That's why its the base movement rate
>>49611But you're describing 2 free actions, which if you look under the listing for quickened spell like ability, you will note that it says 1x/round, even though its a quick action.
>>49612Well shit..
Wait, does ending the jaunt count as an action?
>>49609Anyways, here are the possible locations the Mage went:
1. What we heard was Ghost Sound, and he actually went to the end of the hallway and down the stairs
2. He did go down that halway and went into the door on that room right next to it
3. He went down the hallway and turned left and
a. went into that room
b. went up the stairs
c. went down the hallway to where we were
earlier, perhaps to circle around and
flank
4. He turned right, and down the hallway
a. And turned right at the end of it
b. And went into a door
c. And turned left
We only have one chance to catch him, so we have to pick an option. I think 4 c is most likely, because it puts the most distance between the mage and the Party. So I say we go 4c
\r
>>49614>he actually went to the end of the hallway and down the stairsThe party is split. If we don't catch him at the end of the hall, we'll phase and make a bee-line towards the stairs.
>>49615Again, waiting hordes of undead. Don't use it casually just because you don't want to use a door
