Bay 12 Games Forum

In this game, Jarate, Bonk!, Invisiwatches and other equipment that depends on a charge meter is generally categorized as "Item", meaning that it can be used without being equipped. Everything that is marked with a plus sign in the Google doc belongs to this category.

If so, that's different than the oriignal game.

The actual scriptural justification is that worshipers are not supposed to drink anything but "flowing water." Which means no alcohol, milk, syrup, juice or honey (because none of those are water), no well, pond, rain or lake water (because it isn't flowing) and, oddly enough, no meat (because it contains blood, which is a non-water liquid).

Isn't blood primarily water, which flows through the veins of an animal?

@Nerjin: Pretty much.

Ah.
...Did I ever tell you about how some Catholics used to dip mutton into wells so they could eat it on Friday?

Also more equipment tips for everyone: Don't forget about blunt weapons, if you have money over. Sometimes, you just have to crack some skulls. Literally.

Clubs are cheap. Quarterstaves are cheap. Slings are cheaper.

...another part being that an unlimited use CLW would essentially be "Regeneration d8+3."

1. Fast Healing, actually.
2. No, it wouldn't. You'd need to spend an action every turn...and actions are a currency more valuable than gold.

Well, an Ioun Stone that heals 1 health per hour is 20k, so obviously an item that does better and is more versatile costing 2k is ridiculous.

Can't argue with that.

With such a restriction as what I said, the cost would be 900 for 1 CLW (Caster Level 3, as per minimum for Craft Wondrous Item) per day.  I would multiply each additional use per day by 3; so 2/day would be 3x 2700, and 3/day would be 5400.

Can argue with that.
Why not just buy 2-3 1-use-per-day items?

(A Healing Belt, from the Magic Item Compendium, which does the same thing as what I just said, except better, is 750, and I honestly consider that to be far too cheap for an item that basically removes the need for a healer entirely.)

Which same thing?

You can wear a buckler on an arm that you're holding a weapon with, but if you do so you take -1 to attack rolls with that weapon and lose out on the AC bonus from the shield for one turn whenever you use the weapon.

Is there a feat like Improved Shield Bash that removes that penalty?

((GreatWyrmGold, your acronym tags in the subject list are broken.))

Again? Ugh...maybe I should just give you the raw numbers.
...Actually, that sounds pretty good. Not like you won't find them anyways.

"...I DID WHAT?!"
MAJOR: GET THAT GOOGLE DRIVE DELETED.
Inconsequential: Verbally berate yourself as you do both of the first major actions. You are not doing something that unbelievably stupid again.
MAJOR: Hack into Google's database, after bouncing my signal plenty of times, and after taking all precautions possible, and make sure it is deleted. Delete it if it isn't already.
Major: Attempt to recruit a homeless person as a Subject peacefully, and if that doesn't succeed, take them by force.

Yes, 2 parts Red Phosphorus added to the Gold Drake Formula, but I was hoping to just add it to the original formula, not make a new one.

((As long as the game keeps going, I don't mind.))

[1] You somehow e-mail the information to a bunch of news networks, governmental agencies, and so forth. It gets CC'd to Dr. Gott.
Your attempts to further halt the damage are interrupted by Stormwolf. You are dead.
((Well, we have the first loss. But don't worry; there's a fair chance that this place will get a raid shortly and the game would end anyways.))

Non-turn stuff:
That's how adding stuff to other stuff works. What, did you expect to turn the Gold Drake formula into a bomb?
And it would probably be a new scientist in the same continuity.

Upon hearing about the results of the Glitterlance B test:
"Wow, I need to be careful about my testing procedures. I wana keep my nose. I think I might want to recruit some help here."
Major action: go through my contacts list and try to find someone to recruit as a lab assistant. I need them to be a trustworthy, cautious adult with a sense of morality and who I can get along with. I'll keep them in the loop regarding how the research we're doing is going, and whenever they feel ready, I'll let them pick exactly what serum to use on them. essentially meaning that they're going to get to pick and choose their own superpowers. Their primary duty is going to be testing the serums I'm making on other subjects, until they feel ready to pick their own serum.
Minor action: Continue to perform my daily routine of training with my flame manipulation abilities.
Insignifigant action: request for <name of lab assistant> to thoroughly test I-2 on <name of subject-10>.
Insignifigant action: be nearby when <name of lab assistant> begins testing I-2 on <name of subject-10>, in case <name of subject-10> becomes hostile (microturn request in that case). leave <name of lab assistant> to it once <name of lab assistant> seems safe.
Major action: mix Glitterlance A, Holly, I-1, and OEM1. Name the result IA-1
Minor action: Put in some extra training with my flame abilities today, after my work is done, as a way to relax. invite <name of lab assistant> to watch (hopefully knowing that I'm looking out for her will make her feel safer) and ask them to tell me how the testing of I-2 went while I practice.

[6] You locate an excellent individual. He is skilled, brilliant, and so forth. He's certainly fascinated with your work. You can't see anything wrong with him at all. He is registered as Subject 14.
You feel like you've reached about as far as you will ever get with simply practicing flaming in an empty, fireproof room.
You mix some IA-1.
As for Charlie, your assistant, he tests on Jana, Subject 10. She begins excreting salty water from every pore. Normally, the water soon evaporates into mist that dissipates quickly; if focused on, however, the water stops doing so and starts collecting. When the water collects in a large quantity, it begins to have odd types of algae and weeds grow in it. Hm...

all major actions = community service

minor: Mr.green talks to what's her face. I mean subject 9.
He greets her with the biggest grin on his face and a orange peel in his mouth.
"Told ya so."

((What's the context? I forget what you told her.))
Secret action: [6] You lead a bunch of criminals to the base. Turns out, some of them were supposed to go back to jail. The police are not amused...you have another court date tomorrow. They intend to figure out what crime that technically falls under by then, noting that this is an unusual case.

Righto... first, keep testing #2 by throwing a softball at him, then a burning piece of paper. Do ask #2 to turn the field off as well, and have him try to interact with objects. Also, ask #4 if he feels strange in some way.
Major action #1: Mix one part Cinquefoil and two parts Glitterlance B, dub the result Glitterlance B-01.
Major action #2: Full testing regimen of raw Holly on Subject #4 if he reports feeling perfectly normal. Otherwise, mix one part Glitterlance A and one part T-Quartz, dub it T-Glitterlance A.
Major action #3: Full testing regimen of Glitterlance B-01 on the old man and the random kid. CAUTIOUSLY.
"Also, cut it out with the 'got your nose' jokes. Seriously. I do not have time for your human silliness."

When you throw the baseball, an arc of energy strikes the baseball away and reaches for you. [1] You decided to throw it from a few inches from the subject, so of course it strikes you. Your legs suddenly get a few extra joints.
Burning the paper does not cause additional amusing mutations.

Glitterlance B-01 mixed.
Subject 04 reports feeling pissed. A brief interview confirms that he means annoyed and not drunk. You classify this as "perfectly normal". You mix some T-Gliterlance A.
(I'd appreciate if you'd use their subject numbers. Good RP, and more importantly I can find them easily.)
Subject 05 reports minimal issues, but subject 06 reacts poorly. As 06 is under emotional distress, and due to time constraints, you forgo full testing on 06 and focus on 05. 05's energy seems to cause physical changes, much like 04's. You discover a new ability: You can switch genders! You smack Subject 05 for unauthorized tactile tests before returning to your room to...experiment with your new ability. Yup, it does grant secondary characteristics...

Major 1: Recruit people. Try to appear nicer this time.
Major 2: If successful, test Serum GHX-001b on one of the new subjects. If no new recruits are available due to failure in M1, approach Subject 8 about the matter. If she accepts, test on her.
"Hello, Sharon. I hope you're feeling well. I've made some modifications to my formula; will you test it and see if there are any changes?"
Major 3: Test Serum AB²C-002 on another new subject, if one is available.

It's way too late...remind me to do it tomorrow.

True, so GWG, lets just bring an army somewhere and then look out for events, that way we are prepared, but at the same time, it is the only army there, sooooo

Let's do that.

"PUNCH ME!"
The doppelganger throws a punch at Angel, missing anyways.

"NO!"
Angel lets go of her doppelganger.
"Why should I fight you? Why should I fight anything? Why should I want to kill things, just because I find them in a scary dungeon?"
Angel checks to see if she has her magic back yet.

---

"You're not going to influence me in anything."

"Th-then I will."
Angel turns her head to Jason.
"Why did you k-k-kill them?"

Don't we need money or something to bid?

((1. Angel doesn't want to kill other!Angel. Partly because the fear vision reminded her of her (brief but traumatizing) time on the front lines.
2. Angel needs to try something clever.
3. This is the first thing that came to her mind.))

"Then good luck leaving this place."
The figure tries to punch Angel, but fails. The point on the neck of the doppelganger is still glowing.

Angel holds still, prepared to dodge any more attacks. She tries to think of another plan. She comes up with one. Step 1: Throw the other Angel off of her.
[98+17]
I'm guessing that works.
Step 2: Grab the other Angel in a hug.
[67+30]
That probably works, too.
Step 3: Kiss the other Angel. A lot. Including on that glowing spot, if she can reach it.

Isaac tries to follow only notice Angel on his leg. He holds her in his arms instead.

Angel shivers.
