This thread begins with Tracy and Trump stuck in a curious sort of trap, their only hope of escape being Infernius who is operating a control panel with around 40 buttons, only one of which will set them free and most of which result in some form of torture or death. The buttons bear the same obscure script as elsewhere which Infernius couldn't read even if it was comprehensible.
Welcome back to the Nuts RP thread, where we're about to go Saw on 2 of the party members!

I guess they expected nerds to fight over this kind of stuff, so they made the SRD rules especially meticulous..
I'm fine with the way things are going. I was mostly just trying it once to get a ballpark range of how much she can earn per encounter.

4th lvl spells cost 2000 XP on the permanency table she earned that much in the dungeon from fighting monsters alone these past 2 crawls.
I doubt the undead attack was a clean lvl up either: pretty sure it put them over a few thousand points, when factoring circumstantial stuff.

First off, there is no "fourth level spell permanency cost." An equivalent to the shadow armor should cost 5000xp minimum depending on the exact effects. Second, while numbers vary, the amount of xp earned could be less than 1000

If you look at the canon-permanent spells: all of the 4th lvl spells cost 2000 while the 5th lvl cost 2500.
Also, GM already said after the mummy fight that it would've been enough to cast a permanent spell without penalty.
>>50602
Why are you so insistent on getting less XP? It really shouldn't concern you.
When I say circumstantial stuff, I mean traps they encountered, and presence of party members. The difference is abysmal anyway and I was just looking into it to learn more about the game.

Yeah, it's enough to cast the cheapest of the spells

Not all 4th level spells are alike. The shadow whatever gives darkvision. That alone cost 1000 xp for a permanency. And what is the bonus of this supposed to be? Just the equivalent cost of xp for crafting armor enchantments costs thousands, besides crafting time and high material costs. And then it does other things too. Judging the cost based on the effects it should be very expensive

And neither do "circumstances" increase xp, which was my point

It's many factors at ounce. He literally joined the game originally just to troll me because he took some silly GET joke deeply personally and followed me around on the board for several months because of it. The biggest issue is that his entire way of approaching the game is to try to cheat every way he can - every way, all the time, constantly, relentlessly, whether it's misremembering his stats or making shit up or taking advantage of generosity - which makes the game less fun because it removes challenge (the source of fun) and makes it harder to compete for glory of killing or accomplishing things. And then he steam rolls constantly, taking his turn before its his turn, and advancing time in the game which can leave all of us behind. Then sometimes he attacks other characters - especially mine - in game, often making use of these unearned advantages. And he's playing an lol evil character in a campaign of good aligned characters, which causes conflict. And he wants to substitute actual personality with spoopy clothes and powers, which is insulting to the OC the character is supposed to be based on. He selectively rules lawyers when it's in his advantages and disregards when it isn't.

All of this would be fine if he weren't a sociopath with no social awareness. He is unapologetic period, he never seems to care about how his steamrolling harms others, and he doesn't care if he is liked

Fuck censorship. I won't stand for that one.
I try my hardest every session to make a good character and come up with new ideas to make The Game more fun for all of the PCs. Maybe it's autistic, but I never, even once tried to make The Game less fun.
You're the one who's always acting like an antagonistic, tyranical sourpuss, acting like he's in charge of the rules, and constantly picking fights about meta; banning PCs and deleting posts when things don't go your way. It's tiring, obnoxious, and generally unpleasant to everyone.
>Causes conflict
It doesn't have to. You are the only one who has a chronic issue with it. It was said from the get-go that we could pick any alignment we wanted.
>Selectively rules-lawyers
You do that more than anyone, faggot. I never complain about it, so why can't you just shut up?
It's not your place to enforce the rules of the game.

Technically I do, but increasingly over time everyone does. I fashioned this entire campaign so as to cheat against established rules, prescriptions, and traditions. Yes, the rules are a baseline, and as time goes on the baseline exists only to contrast against what we're doing. The only objective determination for what is cheating is "what isn't allowed", though the consequence of saying something is (or isn't) allowed that the GM does (or doesn't) allow is taking over. ^_~

If you want to be in-charge of the rules and when/how they're applied, you should start your own goddamn campaign.
I do NOT take orders from you. You're not the boss of me, and your insistence on controlling my character's every development only drives me to move in the opposite direction.
Stop trying to tell me what to do. I don't tell you what to do, let alone try to stop you from communicating through bans and whatnot, so stop dicking around in my business.

The problem isn't that it happens ever, it's that there is no end to it and nothing satisfies. The rest of us are satisfied with a few things and ask for more on occasion, but not very often. Circumventing rules or applying rules in his favor has become his entire way of approaching the gane and he asks for more more more large advantages constantly, or applies them when they do not exist, and then misremembers facts in his favor constantly. These are not inconsequential deviations, but massive advantages, which again, would fine if there were only three or so, but he's constantly asking for more items and superpowers and abilities that have massive consequences
