So what does the Ego score on a weapon do, anyways?

I can't tell who roleplayed the best... but this whole language thing opens up a world of fun

Breaking up the diamond... if we put it back together, would it still work as a focus? Unlikely I'd need to cast Great Warping again, but a honkin' big diamond is still cool to have.

Elroin - you're 14th, aren't you? If so, that means you get 1260 xp, rather than 900, for battles fought.

Yep, and I still need about 1500 more to level, even with the plot xp bonus, and I've got 3600 xp worth of crafting planned...

Jack Simth said:
Oh, and who role-played best today?

Kibin, I think, though I think we all did better at that this time than the past few session.

As for loot, I'd honestly suggest breaking up the diamond into smaller pieces incase I accidentally kill someone.....

If that can be done without decreasing the total value, that would be enough for 10 Resurrections. Just make sure I'm not the one you accidentally kill.

Ok, I'll take that loot division.

The Ego score determines which person a sentient weapon thinks should be weilded.

It's sort of an artificial way of keeping a sentient weapon as more than a Thinking Trinket +5: http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/Gian...tscript?SK=154

On the other hand, it could also hinder role-playing to have a strictly-enforced ego complex.

Hmm, I just checked, and Oraneormu's Ego score is now just 1 short of considering itself superior to any character.

[Jack Simth]

The Ego score does many things.... mostly, it acts as the Will save DC in player vs. item; it also influences how many negative levels an inappropriet wielder gains when when picking it up. Now, as the sword is lawful-good, and Derrel's Lawful-good, he's an appropriet wielder; as long as he maintains his Paladin's Oath, she will serve him faithfully. If a Chaotic-Evil character picked her up, though, the CE would "gain" two or three negative levels (perhaps four; I haven't looked at it that closely recently), and then have to make a Will save (with the penalty!) or make a concession to the sword - which would likely mean giving the sword to someone else (e.g., back to Derrel).

If we're doing crafting, can I help you with that? I've got 2688 XP to burn before losing a level.. oh, and we forgot to do the Limited Wish thing.

Any tips on how to roleplay well?

[Violist]

crap. the </a> tag I typed didn't ... work..

Sorry for making the whole into a link... it still works..

Two. One for not matching the alignment of an intelligent weapon with Ego <20 and another for being evil and wielding a Holy weapon. One more Ego point, and the penalty for non-matching alignment goes up by one negative level and it gets a superiority complex.

Yes, you could. The question is, would you?

In character, I wouldn't come up with the idea of using Limited Wish in that way on my own and I have no clue about you using it already for yourself. That conversation will have to be started by you, though I could give you an OOC reminder.

[Violist]

Would I? Certainly, any time... just ask... and yeah, I forgot about the Limited Wish thing in character and out...
