Re: D&D

BTW... I'm looking over everyone's sheets so far and I have to say... this is going to be fun(ny) as hell.

We have Fire bringing a drill. Really? A drill? Ok...

TM is bringing along 100 feet of twine... assumedly for flossing. Not to mention that he weighs 35lbs wet and can somehow push or drag more than 400.

Murph is bringing soap. I get the reasoning... but it's still funny. I want to see that implemented somehow. Perhaps tying it to some twine and hanging it around your neck?

and Mezlo... well he's shaping up to be ACTION WIZARD!

Cid is probably the only normal-ish one in the group so far.

and Armando hasn't posted yet so I can't figure out his quirk right now.

Re: D&D

I'll post a better background summary later but basically, she's a street urchin who grew up to be a pretty successful thief, con artist and burglar.

Some of the stuff she has done or attempted to do:

1. Conned a bunch of people
2. Robbed people (with varying degrees of success)
3. Smuggled (with varying degrees of success)
4. Forged papers (with varying degrees of success)
5. Cheated at games of chance
6. Betrayed several employers (to be fair they were asking her to do outright evil things)
7. Bribed guards
8. Resisted arrest a whole bunch of times (with varying degrees of success)
9. Committed countless acts of larceny, burglary and petty theft

I guess she would fit into this archetype: The Artful Dodger - Television Tropes & Idioms

Re: D&D

Correction! Mezlo is the NAKED Action Wizard. Might want to buy yourself some basic clothes, chief. You can do without Armor... but clothing is not optional.

Also: You're currently carrying a Medium Load on your back. I might suggest that you lighten it somehow or else you'll be suffering a -1 to your AC during combat. I'll have to look that up to be sure.

I'm counting equipment and gear that tally up to over 45lbs on you... without clothes on. There's a sight.

TM, you're carrying almost double your weight yourself.

I'm just not going to count Armor as having weight. Any armor you're wearing is weightless... but armor you're carrying in addition is counted for its normal weight.

This rule is subject to my approval.

In the event that the party finds a suit of armor that's valuable, Mezlo may not put it on to avoid it's carrying weight.

Re: D&D

I'm only one point over into a medium load for my strength, though. Also halflings are the army ants of the fantasy world, obviously.

I assume I throw down the backpack for fighting, too.

Mez should get AC and initiative bonuses for being buck naked.

Re: D&D

How did I end up as the normal one?

[Yygdrasil]

Re: D&D

You're not naked, carrying soap, a midget or an over-prepared nutcase with a crossbow.

and that?

It was done on purpose...

Mezlo > Whisper to Yyg: Hey Yyg.
Yyg whispers back: Yeah?
Mezlo > Whisper to Yyg: we're sleeping right now right?
Yyg whispers back: uh, yeah
Mezlo > Whisper to Yyg: I roll over and nail Firewind

Re: D&D

I think it's more likely that Fire will end up drilling you.

[Mezlo]

Re: D&D

ANd the weight you calculated for me, did it include the tent? I'd assume that gets dropped during combat. Is that an actualy combat turn?

Re: D&D

I'm contemplating whether I should let you guys know the "how you all met" story now... or if I should wait until Saturday.

[Squiggs]

Re: D&D

Speaking as someone not involved, I'd kinda like to hear the story.
