Re: D&D

Well Rogues are very versatile early on so one very big advantage we have is that Cid and I are both able to switch it up between melee and ranged when it's necessary. I mean in the last session, Lili alone went from sniping Homunculi to helping Theron and Cid's PC (forgot the name) kite The Hand to keeping that one Homunculus locked down and blink tanking it while you lot went after the boss.

Re: D&D

I just noticed that I'll get a +4 on any Intimidate attempts if I'm larger than the creature I'm fighting. Making me larger also increases my ability to trip/disarm/etc. Combined with the huge 15-20 feet attack reach and my Combat Reflexes and Power Attack/Cleave, it seems to be in our best interest to cast Enlarge Person on me whenever we're fighting multiple targets. The fun part is that anybody that tries to get within the 5-10 foot blind spot my reach weapon has will end up getting punched in the face.

A dish called "Porkchops Aloha". If you're interested... I'll give you the recipe. It's actually quite good... and easy enough to make.

Yes, I'd like the recipe!

We demand porkchop recipes!

Re: D&D

Quick question Yyg for if I go AT: I didn't declare a favoured class at the beginning so if I was to take some levels in Wizard, would I be able to declare that as favoured for the extra skill rank?

Sure. I'll be ok with that. It won't break your character or anything.

Also

Is the campaign going to reach Lv20? I'm asking this because there's no point in gimping myself in and out of combat at Lv10 to make a character awesome at 20 if we will never reach 20

We're going to level 30... if we stay together for that long and people's schedules dont become an issue. I know that the Player's handbook only shows stats and bonuses up to level 20, but if you prestige at 10 and possibly multiclass along the way, you won't have to worry about wondering what the stats would be for an epic tier character.

If any of you actually opt to go pure xxx, I'm sure we can find data on how to keep raising your abilities/saving throws/bab... etc.

Quick question to everyone else for if I go Pure Rogue: I'm thinking of going Archer Rogue and Shatter Defences is an awesome feat for gaining ranged sneak attacks. Would anyone consider taking either Dazzling Display with me or getting spells/abilities that would cause Shaken, Frightened or Panic? SD basically means that both Cid and I can automatically sneak attack anyone with those status effects for our next two turns (Assuming Cid grabs Shatter Defences too). Weapon Focus is easy to get as a Rogue since you can buy it with a Talent.

Pure rogue is always a good choice... but considering my plan to push the campaign to level 30, I would consider AC to be a much better option for your play style. It seems like something you'd have a lot of fun with... and I'm interested in how it will pan out.

would the radius be calculated off one of my four squares, or would it extend 10 feet beyond all 4 squares of my body?

The spell would radiate from all squares you occupy. If you occupy 4 squares, it would radiate out 10 feet from each of the 4 squares.

I have to email the wife to get her to send me the recipe card... or else I'm just going off memory. Gimme a few and I'll post it here so you guys can try it out.

Re: D&D

If the campaign has material to 30, I'd be tempted to grab levels in Arcane Archer at 20 too for more BAB, spell progression and some really nice ranged tricks

Re: D&D

For the record. The adventure in the den of Homunculi is not yet over. There are still a lot of things yet to do in that place and you've only adventured through roughly half of it. There's also the option to loot the bodies, search for treasure and lots more.

[Armando]

Re: D&D

That's both exciting because I'm pretty eager to fuck things up with Power Attack, Cleave and Step Up, but I'm also concerned that I'm running out of spells!

[Firewind]

Re: D&D

Oh we'll be looking for treasure, it's just there was a huge sense of urgency and there was also the chase of The HoundHand (I haven't been reading too much Song of Ice and Fire honest) and we had to wrap things up after the "boss fight"

Even though the place creeps the shit out of my PC, she will still at least take a look around for treasure. Lili IS a Rogue after all :3

Well clearly. There was that whole cache of weapons in The Hand's room that we haven't even looked through yet, and we haven't even seen what's upstairs in the cult building.

If the campaign is indeed headed to level 30 I may have to rethink my decision to go pure Rogue. I might end up taking a few levels in Shadow Dancer, that class always intrigued me, although it does seem to have some major overlap with all the redundant Rogue abilities. I need to find a repository of Rogue based prestige classes, nearly everything on the site we're using seems to be geared towards spellcasters.

That would be for out fearless DM to decide.

Also I think Armando's voice might get sore from shouting at helicopters to banish them for two Saturdays in a row.

I actually don't have to raise my voice much for it to work.

Re: D&D

I dont' think this weekend would work since my friend's in town and we're making a day of going to the Smithsonian video game exhibit.

Also: 2 sessions per month or Yyg gets strung up and then we don't get to continue the campaign.

Re: D&D

What if we got Yyg's girlfriend a manwhore every Saturday?
