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.

>>49672You don't get free astral projection abilities just cause you want them
>>49671Does the gate ahead appear passable?
>>49675No she doesn't
>>49676No strength check on the door behind us?
>>49677Why would she go backwards?
[1d20+9 = 18]
Rolling a listen check for Snek
>>49674>. . .>>49676The previous gate? No. Its an absurdly sturdy portcullis with interlocking horizontal bars. The writing on the portcullis aligns with the writing on the wall.
>>49681Is there a gate ahead of them?
>>49684No, she does not have free astral projection abilities, except in Cauchemar form
>>49685When transformed she does.
>>49686No, she does not have a gorrilion Super natural abilities just cause
>>49687Says who?
She can transform by herself at least once per day.
>>49688She can transform, but she doesn't get a gorrilion free supernatural abilities just cause you want everything
That makes no sense from a story perspective. The transformation is something along the lines of a rage, but astral projection is definitely something more like a meditative state. An opposite in terms of state of mind
>>49689>The transformation is something along the lines of a rage, but astral projection is definitely something more like a meditative state.She get's so angry her spirit flies right out of her body.
>>49493>>49690Well that's a bunch of bullshit
Anyways, either make a strength check on the door behind them or advance forward and look through the portals
"I don't think that door is a deliberate trap. I think it's a safety mechanism for a hallway full of rooms that imprison dangerous undead"
>>49691"Can't the guys here control those things though? By the looks of the material, it was made to keep things out."
>>49691>that's a bunch of bullshitI will roleplay the fuck out of it.
[1d20+25 = 41]>>49692*advances forward
Search check to check for traps
>>49692"I don't know, but I am betting this is a prison cell block of a sort. Now you can either bust down the door, we can try to lift the door, I can try to sunder it with a sword, we can wait for Infernius to bust it down, or we can wait for Fae to get over her kikkinocephalicphobia and come over here and read these walls"
>>49694Now see that, that would have detected the intricate and obnoxious Dimeterium trap. Too bad
>>49696The sword's magick won't work on dimerterium; you'd have to use brute force, which GM said was a no-go.
It's only forward from now on.
>>49693>>49693Then you can make her take potions and listen to Mi Cherri Armor and shit to pull it off rather than BS it as a free at will ability
>>49698If brute force does not at first succeed, then you clearly aren't applying enough of it. If we can get Tracechemar
and Infernius
and Fae on it, then you've got a combined total of about 90 strength on that door
Hey, with a carefully-worded Wish and enough XP, could we, feasibly, just turn Tracy into a Nightmare permanently and do away with this dumb argument altogether?
>>49703Wish can technically do anything.
>>49704If it can't give you more than a +1 ability point increase with a single casting, then it doesn't have the power to end this argument
>>49700Walk down the hallway and look into the portals
>>49705It can end the argument about when her abilities apply.
According to what I've read, it can potentially be used to change a character's race, at a risk.
>>49708As she walks forward, Tracy notices initially of the first door and then increasingly of the doors further on. They all have small windows.
>>49707All of the supernatural abilities and powers of a Nightmare give it a Level adjustment of +4. Those abilities are as valuable as
four levels. So if you want to sacrifice 4 rouge or blackguard or assassin levels to convert to a nightmare, minus the hitdie, skills, saving throws, and feats, then you can do it. Or sacrifice 10 levels and get the hit die, skills, and feats.
>>49711Four levels to be able to use all of those abilities infinitely?
Tempting...
>>49711>>49712Its never been done before in this capacity, so naturally I'm in favor
>>49712What about creatures without lvl adjustment?
>>49713Make her pay for the hitdie too, unless it's just the Sus. You have to pay 4 hitdie plus the +2 level adjustment for a centaur
>>49715Tracy already has 17 hit dice.
>>49717Then she has quite a bit to sacrifice now doesn't she? If you play as a centuar or a (full srd) minotaur, you start off with 4 or six racial hitdie, in addition to the level ajustment cost. And the same in recruiting a cohort. So too it should be with a racial transformation
\r
>>49718>So too it should be with a racial transformationIt doesn't say so in the spell description. The XP cost refers to how much it takes to cast the spell.
If you were to cast it as an ebin spell with the transform seed, it'd just take a few more days and maybe a spellcraft DC of 30-35 to develop.
What about creatures without lvl adjustment?
>>49719Are you talking about that "Transform" post you made and deleted 14 minutes ago? If you're going by that, it would have a transform DC of at minimum 51 because there are a minimum of 3 Supernatural abilities on a nightmare. It also wouldn't necessarily transform her into a Nightmare with 17 levels in Rogue either. Possibly no levels in Rogue and Blackguard and whatever
>Creatures without level adjustmentYou mean like a Human or Elf or dwarf? Why would you want to do that?
>>49719Spellcraft DCs can be reduced by turning the spell into a ritual with multiple casters as well.
