>>49925You didn't think it was just going to be a one-night stand, did you?
She's got you for all eternity.
>Torc wakes up in the Entertron covered in lipstick every time he dies >>49925What, you thought that was a one time thing? Oh no. Think about it from she-Death's perspective. How many dudes who, having encountered cards of the deck, have disarmed, not killed/attacked, and then wanted to (and did) sex death? It doesn't happen. Its a statistical anomaly, and death shall smile on Torcuil.
>>49926Its spoopy how alike your interpretation and my intention (by way of inspiration) align
>>49923>>>49924Jej. Wait she not gonna kill him is she?
>>49927>>49926I never figured a one-night stand but...
This may get intresting
>>49930It only seemed appropriate.
>>49932Be a man make death your property
*quickly removes marker*
*starts writing "property of" on pony*
>>49934This.
Show all those gay ass lichs what
real necromancy looks like.
>>49938Thats...
Thats actually not a bad idea
>>49939Lichloved is a pretty good feat too.
I'm tired. I think I might turn in soon.
>>49936Death knows Snek. Not specifically, but generally
>>49941But does she like snakes in general?
>>49942Yes. Of course, they're adorable if you know how to interpret them and especially if one is an otherwise friendless incarnation of death.
I really want him to b a hog-nosed snek desu. They're so adorable
>>49947Okay, I found a species of hog-nosed snake with a mild venom that gets about 6 feet long. Bonus? It can flatten its head to look like a cobra.
Can I turn this into a homebrew creature with a more toxic venom, then give it a "Hog-nosed Rod" item?
>>49948Instead of a rod how about a poisned dagger?
I have a question for players.
How >lewd is too no?
I have an idea. Maybe
>>49950Because lewd has consequences, it should always be explicit and never merely implied, so there is no ambiguity or uncertainty
\r
>>49950I do not care, i enjoy free speech.
>>49950I don't care at this point
>>49948There's a poisonous version of the python rod: the iper rod. You have to be ebil to make it though.
>>49940Sorry I bailed last night. I was just too tired.
>>49959I was going to have Tracy make one as the handle for her ebin murder mace after she leveled up and got the
Poison spell.
>>49960No need to apologize, I was getting quite shmammered last night and was of little effective use
>>49963But a hognose isn't a viper
>>49965The monster-stats of creatures are just a guide to physiology, especially for animals: they can describe any creature that generally fits their physical description.
For example, "riding dogs" can be Saint Bernards, collies, huskies, wolf-hounds.. etc.
What kind of creature were you looking for, stat-wise?
I want to lvl-up soon so that Tracy can summon her Pokemon...
>>49966High Dex, medium strength
>>49967Kek
>>49970Tiny viper is the standard snek familiar for a sorcerer/wizard, though I assume you want a lager one.
I like how familiars are able to use their master's skill ranks.
>>49972Don't you need 25 char for that?
>>49973Why yes, yes he does need 25 Charisma. You can bet that's my current goal
>>49974Wouldn't come easy, but don't stop trying.
Too bad ebin feats are so costly, I'd love to have Blinding Speed.
>>49975That is a very nice feat. It's too bad so many of these require 25 ability points. The Divine Emissary class requires the Great Smite Feat, which also requires 25 Charisma
Also, I'm an idiot for not using multiple weapons all this time when I spent the slots to give her improved multi-weapon fighting.
>>49977Not necessarily, since it reduces the CAB of each attack
>>49978Only at a -2 penalty if using light weapons on the off hands.
The extra two from the improved feat are at a -5 penalty, but I think it's worth it.
>>49972What kind of creatures count as ebin cohorts?
>>49980You can have pretty much anything as a cohort, although 1. it's effective character level must always be 2 levels below yours or more 2. you need the leadership points for it and 3. Level adjustment applies
There's an expansion pack feat that lowers the level adjustment of dragons I hope GM will applyFor example, a Celestial Charger could be attracted as a cohort by a level 25 character, if they had the points for it. A Cauchemar Nightmare would be qualified for pretty much at level 21. The Epic Leadership list has an entire long list of creatures that super ebin level characters - like Thez was - having even wyern lesser dragons, or ancient and old greater dragons
>>49981How do you quantify effective character level for creatures?
>>49982Racial hit die plus character levels plus level adjustment
>>49983What about creatures without lvl adjustment?
>>49984Those creatures were presumably never intended to be attracted as cohorts, or possibly have a level adjustment of zero. I'd look at the level adjustment and effective character levels of similar creatures
>>49962Think we could do something tonight?
I'm not busy.
>>49987Definitely. I know I flaked in a number of ways yesterday, but it was a
really good day for me on a business scale and its not going to be a common thing.
>>49988That's alright.
When do you think of starting this evening?
My character needs a quest/ambition to match her alignment...
>>49990You're not obligated to write your character around the alignment you gave her a few months ago, nor is she obligated to maintain that alignment. You've already changed it once. Whatever happened to "kill every celestial and magical beast"?
>>49992>You're not obligated to write your character around the alignmentI'm not obligated to do anything: I
want to do that.
Aside from having a semi-edgy demeanor, I haven't made very much progress in developing an ebil character. I figure a goal-oriented plan would be better for character development.
>Whatever happened to "kill every celestial and magical beast"?That was mostly a joke.
I do want to hunt some monsters though.
>>49993I'm just going to repeat for Tracy something that she said to Kiynen - that was promptly redacted. "Just stay away from my husband's humans. He can get very angry when they are messed with"
>>49993Don't forget the most impirtant part about evil
Every
Villian
Is
Lemons >>49989No particular time yet, ~ 2 hours
>>49996Okay. I should be around.
>>49997Can b sooner if players r here
>>49998I would go right now, but I haven't seen Infernius all day...
How the fuck are moths a symbol of death?
GM, do you consider Crows or Owls to be more of a symbol of death?
>>50006Yeah, but what game mechanic/lore are you referring to?
>>50007Ye ole tome of wikipedia and google
>>50004Between the two, I'd say crows mostly cuz the movies.
>>50009This
Scavenging birds are often symbols of death. In Norse mythology, Eagles fill that niche, because they were often seen feeding on corpses after battles. Same thing goes for vultures in Greek society.
While we're here, were there any visible ways of opening the doors in the chamber Trumpaladin and Tracy are in?
>>50013What about the rest of the hall? Is there anything init aside from the wooden doors?
If all else fails, Tracy could just burn them down.
>>50017Wood is flammable. After it burns a bit, she could use the hammer to break through and see what's inside.
[1d20+5 = 20]
Fuck it
Strength check to bust down door of cell to right of entrance/on left of map
>>50021Tracy pops out her lighter and lights the door on fire.
>>50021"Looks like we don't have to worry about whatever is inside escaping"
>>50022But the door is Dimetrium...
>>50023I was referring to the wooden doors to the cells
>>50023>>50022In response to the light from the "lighter" the nearest cell's pile stirs with a cloud of dust and expands wispingly
>>50025*snuff's out lighter before shit explodes*
>>50026"It looks like we have company.."
>>50024I thought those were heavy Dimetrium?
>>50025Fucking assume combat stance - draw sword and "bees" ring of force shield
>>50028>expensive fucking cell doorsNo, just the door that trapped them in. The cell doors are wood.
>>50028Tracy pulls out her Summon Monster wand, and readies her sword.
>>50029Well, that changes my assessment of the room
>>50030>Summoning monsterThat might make things worse. Is it going to be a distraction to take the hits instead?
>>50031>Is it going to be a distraction to take the hits insteadYeah, what else would you do with a weak-ass monster.
>>50029The doors are thick, heavy wood reinforced with dimeterium. The windows are open-air bars about 10"x10".
The one that's moving expands in size and shape, becoming a very large swirl of destroyed cloth and mist that only vaguely resembles a cloaked humanoid, except of much larger size.
A long and low whispering moan issues forth, reverberating through the hall.
[1d20+21 = 37]>>50033>reinforced with dimeteriumFucking leftists, throwing taxpayer money away.
Listen check, to determine source of moaning, and determine how many creatures are moving.
>>50032Just so long as they don't attack good creatures on sight. Although admittedly even that may still be a plus if it can't beat the AC but is still an attractive target to enemies
>>50034>"more mummies?" >>50035Summoned monsters attack enemies.
>>50034The creatures, other than the one who moaned, are utterly silent. Others have started to move, more a swirl of shuddering dust and decayed layers of filth, almost like ash in a way.
The one that moaned swirls up and into the air, then speeds toward - and then through- the cell window. The others issue a similar long and low moan as they coalesce into a comparable creepy humanoid figure. The first is the biggest.
>>50038Detect evil to determine which ones have what relative auras
Is Torc in any danger currently?
>>50040I told you, there's 4 overwhelming evil and 3 superior or whatever the lesser level one is
>>50039>"Stand beside me and block the hallway, they won't be able to attack us more than one or two at a time, and they can't flank">>50042Trumpaladin stands back from the door in the hallway, somewhat towards the door they came in, and faces them
>>50040Assume the big one is the evilest.
Don't wast three rounds.
Now would be a good time to cast a spell for the battle.
>>50045Eagle's splendor is useful for saves. Prayer is too.
>>50046She'd have to remain in an adjacent square for Eagle's splendor to affect her as well.
>>50047Just use Prayer then, or whatever you think is appropriate.
So both are in ready move then? Doing nothing, but gaining instant initiative?
[1d4+1 = 2]>>50049I'm ready.
Tracy starts off by casting Summon Monster III, to summon 1d4+1 Fiendish Hawks towards the biggest monster, taking a step back behind Trumpaladin.
>>50049Exchange ring of evasion for ring of protection with move action, and cast Prayer with standard action
>2 hawks
Eh, enough to start things off and see what we're up against..
>>50050<POOF><POOF>Said hawks fly into the hall, already at full speed and spinning toward the large one already in the hall.
>>50051Decided
>>50051*humps leg a little bit, then returns to her position*
>>50054No, not immediately though he does hear noises from way down the stairs
>>50053How did the monster react?
[2d20 = 4]>>50058I'm setting up for initiative rolls. I need Tracy and hawk-things, and Trump. Rolling for Giant-ass house on haunted hill motherfuckers.
Tracy wins, followed by Trump, followed by dreadwraiths.
The hawks disintegrate into dust upon striking the thing.
[1d20+9 = 21]
Snek listen checks on those noises
>>50064That's... Good to know ahead of time..
"These guys are going to be a pain.."
*raises Tower shield*
>>50067"Do you want to attack them? You have initiative"
>>50070No, I think that the hawk summoning was before we rolled initiative, and at the same time I cast the spell
>>50071You're gonna want eagle's splendor. These things won't go down easily without a Smite...
>>50073I think we're all here now
>>50074But I'll bet they're incorporeal, so a Smite would miss anyways...
>>50076*cough* turn undead *cough*
>>50078Also this, although it's not likely to work on the big ones..
>>50073He lives! There's the movie in the usual place, otherwise Trump and Tracy are about to get >wraithed
Infernius is just behind the sudden door, leaving a blocked passage toward Trump/Tracy, and a hallway that leads back to where Thez/Infernius beat the piss outta somr wraiths
>>50078Hit die might be too high, but I can try. I'm still waiting for Tracy's faggot to declare an action, since he's higher in the chain of intiative
>>50079Please declare an action, preferably an attack
[3d20 = 38]
Wait is it still Tracy's turn?
Tracy attacks with her chain.
>>50082She also drops her shield, because it's useless atm.
>>50080*fugs thez*
*And then kicks in the door.*
Torc declares "what the actual fuck is going on?"
Then heads towards wherever the fuck the others are cause even his faggot doesn't know
>>50087But what the fuck is happening?
>>50088Tracy and Trumpaladin are trapped in a hallway with a bunch of dread wraiths.
Infernius and Fae are chasing the mage from earlier.
Torc is standing at the top of the stairs, with Thez.
>>50088Trumpaladin and Tracy went down a different hallway with a bunch of cells, and an anti-magic door closed behind them, which Infernius wants to break down appearently. Thez, Torcuil, and Snek are at the top of a stairway. Snek signaled that he heard something. GM says Torcuil hears something downstairs. Trumpaladin and Tracy, in their respective hallway, are about to be attacked by wraiths
Are we not doing this tonight? I'll go to bed if that's the case.
>>50095I had planned on doing this. I have all sorts of determined stats and attributes, but tonight I really just feel like looking cute ponerz. I hope there's no offense
>>111333 → unintended digits confirm
>>50097>>50096Wait. If a character has 23 levels in classes where a given skill is a class skill, and 4 levels in a class where the skill is not a class skill, then is the maximum number of levels he can have with 27 levels less than 30?
>>50100WHY IS LEGENDARY COMMANDER AN EPIC FIGHTER BONUS FEAT IF DIPLOMACY IS NOT A FIGHTER CLASS SKILL
>>50104Pic
>>50102>>50104Why is Fighter such a blatantly inferior class in 3.5? Like it wouldn't be so bad if half the Fighter Bonus Feat list didn't have obscenely high ability score prerequisites, or if it had a few more class skills, or if it gave ability score increases every however many levels like in the 5th edition
>>50105Fighter is the chad class.
>>50106Paladin is pretty lame at epic level as well, hence why I was thinking about multi-classing
I want more levels soon..
Think I'll do two more in Blackguard, then go for Assassin or Rogue.
>>50108I just hope I can stab some squishy living targets with deep pockets soon. I can't remember the last time she actually made a Sneak Attack.
>>50105Noice pali. Its to prevent lazy fighters desu
>>50109It was Felicia. Not very long ago actually
>>50110How so? Like distant shot for example, is a very nice looking Epic Feat on the Fighter Epic Bonus feat list. But it requires 20 ranks in Spot, which is not a Fighter Class skill (at least it's a Ranger class skill). And Epic Leadership is a Fighter Epic Bonus Feat, but it requires 25 Charisma, which a character is
not going to have unless they are multiclassing in from Bard or Sorcerer or Paladin
>>50111Nah, pretty sure she would've died after those first three slashes from Trumpaladin. I doubt she's that buff...
I'm glad Sneak Attack of Opportunity and Lingering Damage don't have bullshit prerequisites.
Does this dimerterium block dimensional travel? It doesn't in the Witcher, but idk how it works in this game.
>>50113Reeeee. So Jelly of the sneak attacks that stack with multiclass. The closest Paladin equivalent - Great Smite - has a prerequisite of 25 Charisma
>>50112Maybe? Sneak attack definitely would have killed her, even if she succeeded on fort saves for Death attack
>>50114Piece of that door could make for a great spell-blocking shield...
>>50115You'd get a +6d6 Sneak Attack if you fell.
Tracy can't do shit to undead though...
I with Blackguards or Assassins could cast Blacklight..
>>50117Well yeah, but there'd be many other consequences as well. You also better hope all that Dimetrium doesn't nuetralize the magic on the weapons. If it does, you better pray to whatever gods may be that Trumpaladin rolls high on his turn check, because otherwise both are fucked
\r
>>50119Does turning count as magic?
>>50119Wraiths and other incorphoreal monsters are unaffected by dimerterium in The Wither (you need moondust to get them). Maybe the two could phase back through the door.
If I doubt they'll die, but it'd suck if they got turn into wraiths..
>>50120Goddamn it
>>50121The metal seems to exist
only in the Witcher and is not canon to D&D, so I don't know
Tracy was able to summon monsters earlier, so I guess the metal isn't nearly as radiant as it is in The Witcher.
>>50124An Antimagic field would cause incorporeal undead to cease to appear on the material realm within the field. So whatever the metal does (my bet is it prevents phasing through) is not as extreme as an anti-magic field
>>50125There's also the walls on either side of the door, but we'll get to that later.
Going to bed.
>>50126I very sincerely doubt that they would have placed the stuff in the doors, but
not the walls
>>50127Remind me to rip all of the precious metals out of the walls.
>>50126Actually, you know what? If this is three Dread Wraiths and four Wraiths, and if the weapons aren't useless, this is doable. Trumpaladin has the Fortitude saves for it
All declared actions are valid. Consider this GM phoning in for the day
>>50111Distant shot needs 20 ranks in spot?
Ugh
