Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Er, just had to do a bit of laundry.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Server closed.
One CR 20 Pit Fiend stoned, one CR 20 Balor made to run, one CR 18 nightcrawler made to run.

A few traps, but too low of CR to mean anything much; 3 and 4? No xp at these levels.

Combat XP; let's see... Kaylin, Eldon, Elorin at 18th for 5400 xp each; Jason and Kibin at 19th for 4180 xp each.

Plot.... well, you escaped the prison, so a bonus grand for everyone individually.

One RP vote to Kibin; time to up the ante on that a might; 2,000 bonus xp to Kibin.

Half Xp for Elorin, as his player wasn't there, but his character was rather useful.


Kaylin:6400
Eldon: 6400
Elorin:3200
Jason: 5180
Kibin: 7180

Log hopefully attached. Who roleplayed best this session?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Mixed news: I have a job interview this weekend. I will most likely miss the session.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

That's ok, I have finals to study for anyway.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Maybe we could move it forward a week, and have two in a row? If we have a session Saturday, I'll probally be late again.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Good luck with your interview! NA's idea sounds acceptable to me, if douglas' finals are over by then.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

This Saturday I'm helping build the new building at church. I'm trying to help with that every other Saturday, and it takes priority over gaming. If you like, I can set the server up if someone else wants to run a session (it's mostly automated) but I won't be in attendence.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

server online.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Server closed. One CR 19 cleric finished off... but you got XP for him earlier, and he was in severe straights, so not now; one CR 20 spellcaster escaped, half XP; 1350 xp for Eldon and Kaylin at 18th, 1069 for Jason and Kibin at 19th. One CR 20 Balor forced off-plane (actually, I rolled the plane of water - with no clear and easy way to escape, he drowned); full XP - 2700 for Kaylin and Eldon at 18th, 2138 for Kibin and Jason at 19th. Two rather strong CR 16 critters currently in combat. Keeping half the party Stunned. At least Kibin recovered now, and Jason can spare the attention of keeping Kibin from hitting the ground for fatal damage.

The "trap" was caused and trigged by the spellcaster's parting actions, not triggered of it's own accord, and does not give seperate XP.

Totals this session:
Eldon: 4050
Kaylin: 4050
Jason: 3207
Kibin: 3207 (congrats on being the first to reach 20th)

No votes for best roleplayer? Oh well. Who roleplayed best this session?

*does happy 20th level dance yay!*

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Character Sheet

Character sheet updated to 20th level, and that link should contain my most updated character sheet. That site is neat.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Hey, I think you ripped me off on the permanent enchantments... To get it done by a spellcaster of 20th level, it would by my calculations only cost 25,950...

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Hmm?

Let's see..... Caster Level * Spell Level * 10 = 5*XP spent; each +5 to each of your natural weapons (you have three) costs 3*10*20=600gp for the Greater Magic Fang applied to a single natural attack, and 5*10*20+5*1500=8,500 for the Permanency, so 9,100 per natural weapon; three natural weapons would be 27,300.

Can I see your math?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Third level spell at 20th caster level would be 20 x 30, for 600. Permancy is 11*50 base(11th caster level to make magic fang greater permanent), so 550 each. Add the 1500 XP Cost(5 GP per XP), and you have 8650 gp for each natural weapon.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

By a strange quirk of the rules, Permanency can technically be seperately dispelled...... you sure you want it at caster level 11?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Hmmm. Not really. Happy that you used the price for getting a spellcaster to cast it directly instead of the price of the scrolls, though.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Server online.

Hmm... battle still in progress. Cool.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I think maybe we need to start a little later...

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I'm really sorry guys, for some reason I was very confident that today was the skip week and scheduled something for the morning.

One thing puzzles me, though... I don't see Loony in the server list.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

That's because he's shut it down for the day, because noone showed up. He'll be back at around 7:30, though, in case you still want to have three hours of gaming.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Sorry, I totally forgot.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Meh, happens; had a nice four hours on construction at church. Back, incidentally.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Server closed.

One CR 16 Horned Devil fled when called, one CR 16 Horned Devil fled when paralized. Eldon killed.

Let's see... Kaylin and Eldon 1350 xp at 18th, Jason 950 xp at 19th, Kibin 750 xp at 20th.

Log hopefully attached.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

The Kensai prestige class has ten levels; would it be possible for me to extend it to a full twenty-level class? Perhaps by adding bonus feats or other abilities?

Here's a rough draft. I stuck in a blank every three levels and added a few abilities.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Kensai is basically a fighter without bonus feats, just use the fighter as the base class?

And XP vote if it matters goes to Narf. Even though he can't use it much. Maybe it'll go to helping out the XP costs on his new character, or something.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Because a fighter would need to be level 7 to be a Kensai - Requires Concentration 5, Diplomacy 5 and Ride 5.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

And you'll start at around level 17 anyway. So?

Hmmm... Could get a couple of levels of paladin first. Having a couple ranks of paladin first would mean that concentration and diplomacy are class skills for the matter of max ranks in them. And you get a nice charisma bonus to saves, which is nice since Kensai have poor reflex and fortitude saves. You can also detect evil, and you get a nice +2 to fortitude saves to boot!

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Question... For epic levels, is highest BAB levels counted first for the 21st level BAB cutoff? Wondering if Kibin is ever going to have four attacks from BAB.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Do characters get 15, 14, 13, 12, 10 and 8 for attributes or was it point buy?
What's a good OpenRPG character sheet?
Do composite longbows count as longbows for the purpose of Weapon Focus?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Point buy; 32, I think.
Not sure. Pick one - there's a constructer that will do d20 and 3.0 D&D... but they are based on 3.0 stats, so a few things will be a might off without tinkering with the XML.
Yep.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I'm using 25; I'll wait for someone else to chime in.
Ah well.
Thanks.

Is there any point to Manyshot? It seems worse than Rapid Shot.
Also, is my new character at my current characters' level (18th, I think) or at -1 (17th, I think)?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Standard action - you can Manyshot and move 30 feet (or move 30 feet and Manyshot) and get X arrows at your target (up to five, and it's just the one attack roll, so all or nothing), while with Rapid Shot, you have to stop and take a the full attack action (but you've got better chances to hit).

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Thanks. .rtf write-up attached.

Does my new character get that +2000XP bonus from Ashtons' vote?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Manyshot + shot on the run = you're kind of hard to pin down. And don't provoke an attack of opportunity from using a ranged weapon.

And yeah, it's 32 point buy. You start at the XP level of the lowest character, which would be Kaylin... and that's near 17th level, I think.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I thought that was for new players?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Let's see... your character died going out the door, True Ressurection not readily available....

So lowest surviving -1, or current -1, whichever's higher.

And XP applies in the best possible order in this instance - which means it goes to the new character after death penalties.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Ok, thanks.

I'm getting a tooth extracted thursday, so I may not be all there saturday.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

In case it's important, Narf, I show my experience as being 165034. Looking forward to seeing what you've come up with http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Oh yeah - game this weekend. In case anyone's lost track.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Current surviving -1 would be level 19. If the XP total of highest surviving party member, it would be 191102, minus that by 19,000. And that's 172,101 thousand... plus 2,000 for XP. And ouch, I had a tooth surgically extrated, and that hurt.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

It got cancelled; the pain medication wasn't working right, so I'm going to see a specialist.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

That's current LOWEST surviving, not current highest - which would be 18th-1, not 20th -1.

Oh, and Server online.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Sorry for the late notice, but my keyboard was out of commission last night. I'm really sorry for missing so many sessions recently, it's been primarily due to fatigue from my recently diagnosed Ulcerative Colitis. I'm starting to recover now, but I'm afraid I'll have to miss another session today, this time because of a project for class.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Sorry to hear that. What is it?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Server closed.

Two CR 16 Horned Devils taken down; bumped to CR 17 for the sudden appearence in the middle of everyone.

Kibin: 20th: 1000 xp
Jason: 19th: 1425 xp
Kaylin: 18th: 1800 xp
Katsuro: 17th: 2550 xp

Narf already has the result of the roleplay vote for last session figured into his XP.

So who roleplayed best this session? Log hopefully attached.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Kibin got some good dialogue in.

(You know, I think we've been treating the RP vote as a 'Did anybody roleplay great this session?' vote.)

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

I vote for Katsuro.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Jack, what do you think of supplimental skill points for 'useless' skills? Character-filling out ones, like 'woodcarving' or 'knowledge:horse breeding'?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Hmm.....

Well, if they're guarenteed to never impact the game (e.g., you'll never actually roll them), they don't matter; just put it into the character background, it'll be fine.

That said, some oddball skills do impact the game on occasion - Craft is used in making golems (armorsmithing, masonry, et cetera), and in making temporary armor with the Ironwood spell (woodworking), as well as use of the Fabricate spell. Not that any of those are liable to come up much.

Also, do note that five ranks will put you above basically every Expert-1 that doesn't take Skill Focus; and almost anyone can spare five ranks into something at this level.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 

Er, how? At this level, it seems even more important to me to max out as many skill ranks as possible.

How about some free skill points, for a few oddball skills that aren't raised above 3/4?
