RP/Shitposting thread - D&D 3.5 base rules, subject to interpretation, review, and elaboration. Open for all to spectate, bantz, shitpost, or full-on play.
We begin this thread in anticipation of the weekend, where most of the party is gradually infiltrating the grand city of Cardishore. With disguises varying from an Emu, Barney the dinosaur, and a mexican clown,... as well as Fae who is entirely without costume, Trump, Tracy, and Infernius try to get a handle on whatever the hell is going on in Cardishore now or in general.
Meanwhile, Torcuil is working to get that damn cannon fixed on the Stray Cat. Meanwhile Stix returns (to the tower?) with not many answers, an over-sized acorn, and definitely no other surprises.
Meanwhile Thez,... poor forgotten and alone Thez who is babysitting the port so that none of the party's enemies see their departure and think "Wah ha ha ha! With them gone I will destroy their precious city!" I mean she gets it,... but still.

>>60066I don't think GM will let us stay and fight
>>60069Meh, if i cant fight i guess ill leave.
>>60069It wasn't one of the options.
>>60070What were you going to do in the first place?
>>60073I was hoping to get Tracy's equipment back before the real throat-slitting began...
>>60074Tracy sighs, realizing that she's probably not going to be able to get her beloved knives back next session.
>from the outside
*Toes sink into chest fluff*
"There you go..." Tracy says, patting her chest that seems slightly poofier from the disturbance but otherwise unchanged
>>60084*walks by him, ignoring the screaming bull and humming to herself nonchalantly*
>>60086Shhhhhh... It'll be over soon...
>>60088*fluff poofs out, making Tracy visibly double in size*
Are you sure you want to try that?*static begins to pull Infernius closer somewhat*

I have the right kind of autism that allows me to find the posts we were talking about.
After Rockefeller died, Soros sought to claim his throne in the Abyss.
>>5897 →>>8619 →>>60093Berry could rule both planes though.
>>60094Berry should ally with the haus of thez
>>60095I figured Berry would be an Abomination (infernal), rather than a regular fiend, desu. A borderline goddess.
>>60098I just think epic level monsters are cool.
[1d20+43 = 55]
Spellcraft to turn Infernius into a pickle
>>60101Just cast Polymorph Any Object. You don't need to roll.
>>60102Eh, spellcraft but oh well.
One sec and I'll figure out the DC for saving
>>60111We were shitposting on the discord that Berry Ebil was more powerful than Soros could ever dream to be.
Well? What's the canon going to be?
>>60122Thecannonwillbe800,sorryInevergotbacktoyouonthat
Kidding aside, I don't know; I've seen votes and rolls and suggestions and requests that aren't among the options, and all manner of what have you. What I haven't seen and no, I'm not logging in for the moment is a clear statement that reflects what everyone wants, pertaining to the three choices
>>60125Ikr. I wanted to knoe more.
>>60126I'm not just being coy, its that each path has a particular brand of spoilers. Personally, I prefer the second path also, just as long as no one is gonna get pissy cuz "muh swag".
>>60128Bracers of Relentless might are OP without a hidden curse, function, or consequence
>>60129Definitely. I don't think any other item gives such a drastic boost to stats.
Infernius had better make sure nobody sunders his belt while he's wearing them though.
>>60130Cursed items are cool that way. It's more fun for the most powerful magick items to have some kind of drawback, consequence, or key to activate them.
>>60131Also a good way to punish anyone who looted your home-made equipment from your cold dead body.
>>60127But i love my arms.
>>60132I like the fighting shadow thing better though.
I wanna craft some of that Russian nerve agent.
>>60139Oh oh can i help craft stuff?
>>60140I'm surprised you haven't been crafting very much at all.
Ever thought of upgrading your sword?
>>60141It's already super fucking high powered
>>60139>wants more thingsI think
you should lose the horse shoes, the chain, the sword and so forth in Cardishore
>>60142>high powered.It's just a +2 greatsword of Flaming Burst. He could turn it into a Flame Tongue, or add all sorts of effects to it.
>>60124It's not really my choice to make, so I'll stay out of it
>>60143>>60140Infernius is a Cleric of the Good Domain, so he's the only one who could craft Holy weapons.
>>60145Clerics get the best equipment.
>>60159
You can lose the shoes
>>60160The enemies will have to catch her first.
>>60161Then they can actually fight Infernius and Trump first
>>60145It's going to cost me an arm and a leg to get some good Unholy equipment..
>>60163Then again, she could get Unholy Strike in 3 levels anyway.
Torc, Snek, and Stix stroll in the lobby of the tower.
"Alright, you said you needed gear. What are you looking at?"
Through the skies, riding down from a cosmic range, is the man with lasso and stern face. Angry, resolves face. He rides attop a fiendish horse. Devil horse, black and snorting fire, flaming mane, galloping through the air
>>60173Look for love in all the wrong places...
“Well... I’m looking for a better bow hopefully, some leg protection would be nice, and I got to swing by the port to get my dagger back.”
>>60175*sniff, sniff*
"At the tower. (I get ur soul, iz contract)"
>>60177"Reee you don't get my whole soul. Maybe for like a week. Why not a barrel of apples or something?"
>>60176"So, you need a new bow, bracers, and you wanna get your dagger back. Okay, follow me"
Torc leads Stix to the crafting room
>>60178"'Tis the
price."
*tracks with debil-senses*
>>60179Stix follows close behind
>>60180"But I already gave away my soul horsey. A barrel of apples? Some cuddles?"
>>60183"Ur not using it right now anyway. Gibe."
>>60184"Soul belongs with waifu."
>>60184"But pony.... Anyways,
track him. Find him"
>>60185*Mutters something about "death do us part"*
>>60182"Alright, time to find a short bow machine..."
>>60186"If I find him, gibe soul. I'll gibe id back if u need it, but mine."
>>60188*carries Brad towards tower*
>>60188"Pony why you gotta be so greedy. Don't you love me?"
>>60191"Maybe like a shared arrangement or something?"
>>60192"Iz ur soul, but I get to keep it. I'll keep it safe, don't worry."
>>60187“What would a short bow machine look like?”
>>60193"Like a Trust arrangement? Uh... maybe"
>>60195"I'll keep it safe. I promise.
I keep your baby safe, don't I?"
[1d20 = 16]>>60194"Er, I'm not quite sure. I'd say follow Mr. Snek, he's good at finding stuff"
Perception for Snek
>>60196".... We'll speak more on this when the slight against me has been avenged.
Yipee Ki-yay!"
Trumpaladin rides the devil horse across the endless skies
>>60197Eh, good enough.
After a little search they stumble upon the machine
"Ah here we go. Now to see if it'll work"
>>60199Sorry for the delay, but I thought you were going to follow up with how it was activated.
“How does it work? Is there a lever? Does it need materials to build one?”
>>60202"Take us there, horsey. Hyah!
>>60206"Are you sure he's in the tower horsey?"
*pets horse on ears*
"You may just be smelling him from yesterday.
I guess we should go there anyways... I need to change clothing..."
I'm about to pass out. I'm sorry...
No soul 4 Tracy tonight.
>>60208At least Stix won’t be physically and mentally scarred for a little while longer then. Goodnight
>>60213>>60214Infernuis flies to the tower.
>>60216Tracy goes to the holodeck to train, and invites Infernius to join her.
Her next training regime will be Cloak Dance btw.
Hey, maybe we could feed the gibberniggers to Kiyen. That would make them useful for something: a staple for creatures that feed on humanoids, without causing drama.
I'll have Tracy ask her about it (taste test) when I have her go to Durpistan.
>Kefka: "How does my new cosplay look?">TfwI made this one to test out the colors displayed in
>>58462 → instead of just de-saturating. Looks a bit extra blue, but it is just a test.
>>60220I need to steal/shoop some template vectors for a braided tail.
Will everyone be here this weekend?
I will.
Also, did we ever decide on the scenario?
>>60220Slightly less shitty version.
>>60217Trumpaladin is somewhat relieved that the pony is no longer demanding his soul. He goes off and does a set of actions described in the discord
>>60225Does it occur before or after Cardashil?
>>60214This
>>60223And this
>>60225For the time being, this will avail you nothing
>>60223Scenarios 2 or 3 sound the most interesting, although they yield the most opotential loss.
>>60223I just want to play out the scene exactly as it would have but for the spell misinterpretation. That may still leave trumpaladin and Infernius to be killed by the bots,
but at least there would be something of a battle.
Failing that, just an all out withdrawal from Cardishore
>>60227That won't un-pet Stix>>60228You can lose your equipment too
>>60228Scenario one is turning tail and running, with little reward, but safe equipment.
2 is big losses for time being, but interesting things revealed.
3 is a mystery box.
Also, from now on, I think we outta learn to leave the stuff we probably won't use at home.
>>60230Here's the problem. Scenario 2 should never have existed. Scenario 2 occurred because when Infernius showed back up to continue the fight and I rewound the game - by 3 rounds mind you - Trump suddenly decided he wanted to go in a completely different direction. It was that very decision that fragmented the possible outcome into 3 scenarios.
Scenario 1 is the "Original". Scenario 2 is the "Deviation". Scenario 3 is "GM's Choice".
>>60231It's the risk that comes with wearing all of your capital on your body and walking around blinged up like a pimp. Darkie's associates could also be lurking around this city to steal ur swag too.
>>60232Infernius still has a high chance of being cooked too though.
>>60227Hello there.
Will Torc's craft skill be helpful?
>>60237Making Stix a new bow. Specifically a short bow
>>60234Oh look, someone who noticed the comment about "There have been an increase in inturuders lately,"
>>60239You could do that, but Thez was planning assigning BOB to Stix.
>>60241Thez handed Bob to Trumpaladin when he asked for a ranged weapon shortly before the Capital visit
>>60242She doesn't fucking have an armor of darkness just because you want her to have an armor of darkness
>>60241The green intelligent oathbow that Thez gave to Tracy, that she gave to Brad.
>>60243Bob is the shadow(servant) Thez gets as a Shadow-Dancer, who spends all his time attached to the Ghost-Touch Oath-Bow that she picked up once upon a time.
>>60245Yes, and he's done so much with it
>>60242Yeah no, no one got the kooky shadow-armor, because Torcuil had Covfefe, and when Thez approached him with the Dreadwraith scraps he compulsively lied about being able to use them to craft shadow armor.
>>60246Oh, that thing
Nevermind then...
He might want some light armor thought
>"Are you even gonna get around to enchanting my hat?"Oh yeah, I need to enchant Snek's hat
>>60245She got it a long time ago.
She's using right now to obscure her face beneath her illusionary disgui-
>>60247Oh....
>>60249Yeah I know. This is the first time I've even mentioned covfefe since then, cuz I'm irritated that it threw a wrench in the whole idea
>>60249>tfw you realize you have a lot less AC than you previously thoughtI guess I outta get her a chainshirt....
>>60251>SighWho's fucking idea was thelat shit?
I regret the decision
>>60252And still you refuse to deploy her in combat
>>60251It's a shame. They both would've looked awesome in it.
>>60253I originally brought it up..
I found it on a wiki as I was casually browsing homebrew cursed items...
*Mr. Bones sadly dumps a bag of covfefe beans in the trash*
>>60253It was my idea desu, after the item description was posted
>>60252What happened to the hydra hide?
>>60254Tracy's abilities aren't meant for fighting: they're meant for murdering people.
Weren't you going to escape anyway?
>>60257She took that suit apart when she revived the fire giants and ate lunch with them.
>>60259I figured it was gay to keep parts from revived creatures: feels like farming.
>>60257Um... Can Trumpaladin have Aura of Protection? It's a class feature of the 5e Paladin
>>60259I wanna get her a set of magick armor anyway.
What spells were used to make Korak's suit?
>>60261Is that basically a spread Divine Grace?
>>60263Yep. It's "allies within 10 feet (probably like 30 feet by level 17, I haven't checked) receive the benefit of that Paladin's Divine Grace." It's to eliminate that awkward imbalance where Trumpaladin has a high enough saving throw bonus to be confident in a situation, but the mount he's riding does not
>>60264Or if not this, just left him craft the additional Cloak of resistance into a Caparison of Resistance for Fae
>>60264Paladin's mounts already share saving throws. For an aura like that, you'll need a Holy Avenger
>>60262RIght, cuz I'm just gonna tell you
>>60260I am suspicious of your lack of wanting things e_e
>>60267They share the base saving throws. Unless you're letting Fae/Tracy just use Trumpaladin's saving throw roll
>>60266He already has all of the spell to craft it. I think a mantle for a mount costs twice as much tho..
>>60267>lack of wanting thingsWell, I was also kind of over that mundane armor after I (supposedly) got the Armor of Darkness, once I learned that magical deflection doesn't stack with armor AC.
Could Torc enchant Snek's hat to act like a ring of chameleon, except it's a hat and not a ring?
>>60270Just put a ring on his tail.
>>60270I thought Tracy made him a hat of Disguise?
It's a top hat, but it can also look like any other kind of hat.
>>60271That's not the point of asking
>>60272Uhh, I don't remember that.
>>60274I could've sworn I mentioned it.
It takes only a day to make, so she could've given it to him whenever.
>check wiki
>no ebil equivalent to a holy avenger
reeeeee
Blackguard feels like a proto-type class in 3.5e...
>>60274It was the funny glasses with the moustache
>>60268You know what I mean
>>60277The glasses were Tracy's: as an ironic western foil to Thez's ninja mask.
She made Snek a top hat. I think it happened some time after the mummy room.
>>60277No I don't
>>60276Because you already get all of your class abilities from the original class. you don't all of the abilities of the base class
and all paladin abilities as well
>>60280Yes, base saves e_e
>>60279My mistake, I thought the glasses and the hat were the same essential item.
Snek needs a whole collection of hats btw.
>>60280I know. It's kind of lacking as a prestige class tho, since it doesn't really mesh well with most base classes. It's really only at full potential if you're a fallen (epic-level fallen is probably one of the strongest classes).
I guess it did set the thematic precedent for other base classes, like the paladins of tyranny/slaughter in UA, or the Warlocks in 5e.
>>60281That's why she gave him a hat of disguise: it can change into different kinds of headgear as the disguise changes. It turns Snek into a better prop for Torc's memes.
>>60281That leaves the mount very far behind the Paladin when the Paladin has Divine Grace and the mount does not share this bonus
>>60282Well yeah, since a Fallen Paladin loses the great majority of their class powers. They need the Black Guard powers to make up for it
>>60283My mistake, carry on. I was thinking Snek needed a hat for all scenarios, but that works
>>60285Can I still get that chameleon enchantment or no?
>>60284They only lose Divine health, and a few spells.
The part about falling that sucks is that you can't trade all of you're levels if you're below level 20 but above level 10 (cuz that'd be haxx for taking ebin feats).
I liked how the paladins of tyranny and slaughter in UA got cause disease, deadly touch, and those inverted paladin spells tho. They make for a better base class. It's difficult to play a character that's mainly blackguard unless you took it at lvl 4 as a fighter.
>>60284>mount far behindFae has pretty high base saves herself tho.
>>60285Snek needs a hat for all scenarios.
>>60288His hat can change to look like any hat.
>>60286On the disguise hat? No. I'll allow Snek to wear 1 ring, and 1 bracer in addition to the hat/snglasses. BTW, is the Pinochet hat the disguise hat? The sunglasses could also do stuff I suppose.
>>60290They can change on the new year.
>>60287Also, would it have killed them to give Paladin's the option to craft Holy weapons with Holy Sword?
>sneks hat changes to a crusader helmet
>"Deus Vult"
>Changes to Pinochet hat
>"We must physically remove communists"
>Changes to flatcap
>"Vodka vodka cyka blyat"
>MAGA cap
>"10 feet higher"
"Will you fucking stop?"
>"No, this is fun"
>>60290Yes the Pinochet hat is the hat of disguise.
Fair enough, that's understandable.
>>60290Gotta protect those hit points.
>>60292You should try it sometime
>>60296In all technicality a familiar counts as part of the spellcaster.
That's why Torc loses XP if Snek is kill.
So yeah, were you guys gonna come to an agreement, or am I gonna spend 8 hours plotting the party's demise?
>tfw realize we've been shitposting in circles
Do we have a consensus on the scenario yet?
[1d3 = 1]
K, I'll be serious
