Bay 12 Games Forum

Next turn, sure. This turn is the entrance.

Besides, I can't see anything. I'm shooting kinda blind here...

((Not anymore.))

((He afk'd and wasn't even playing. ))
Cullodus looks strangely at Angel.

Angel turns away from Cullodus, unaware that this makes her even more conspicuous.
"_{How you know who?}"

The ghost is nearly dead.

Really?!?

((Well, it's either you or GWG and we both know how GWG is with updates.))

I resemble that remark!

"Angel?"

"Huh?"

Angel follows Cullodus until she reaches the bar.

Trying not to think too hard about how a really big and old dragon managed to sire offspring with Small-sized creatures.

Well, aside from draconic spellcasting allowing for magical shapeshifting, kobolds have enough draconic blood* that simply expressing old traits isn't impossible.
*According to Races of the Dragon, the first kobolds were literally made from dragon blood!

Two notes...
1. All magical weapons must be masterwork, so that's another 300 gp if I'm not mistaken.
2. All magical weapons need at least a +1 enhancement bonus before they can get abilities.

+6 Adamantine Full Plate acquired .

+6 is epic. It costs like 10 times what it should, if you're even allowed to have it.

Every table I've looked at explicitly states them as being additional cost per level of enchantment.

Wrong. It's total. Which is irrelevant, because you can't have +6 anything without the Epic Level Handbook.

You could look at it like that. Adding Keen to an item with an existing +n enhancement would increase the total cost of the item to that of a +(n+1) enhancement. Although, the concept of an existing weapon is rather confusing, since enchanted items cannot be upgraded. If you want your +2 sword to be a +3 sword, you have to sell the +2 one and buy a +3.

Wrong. It's stated (in the DMG, I believe) that you can "upgrade" magic items if you have the right feats and stuff. In fact, you can even turn evil magic items good (if you have the Book of Exalted Deeds).

Is it possible to enchant normal, non-armor clothing? Or do you need wondrous items for that?

Never got an answer to this :x

RAW, no.
Many GMs would be willing to let you, if you had masterwork clothing.

If I'm reading correctly, the only advantage adamantine has over mithral for weapons is that it is easier to sunder low hardness items, which isn't really that great.

1. "Less than 20 Hardness" isn't low hardness, it's basically everything short of adamantine. Adamantine weapons are great if you need to break inanimate objects...
2. ...or animate objects, since many constructs (and some other creatures) have DR/adamantine.

You only have level one paladin spells. The only spell I could find that corresponds to Unholy Weapon was Holy Weapon, which is a 5th level Paladin spell. Which you definitely would not have.

Since when do paladins get five spell levels?

Okay, 1 set of Mithril Gauntlets of Shocking Burst get! Expensive yes, but extra damage and improved critical hits should make Ironclaw far more viable.

It needs to be more expensive; as noted, you need at least a +1 enhancement bonus before you can get any abilities for your weapon.

Also, get a shortsword, not a dagger, if you have proficiency. Daggers do shit for damage, even with a critical hit.

Daggers can be thrown, can deal slashing damage, cost less, and besides 1d6 is only one more on average than 1d4.


Anyways. I've finished most everything except my equipment (and any traits/flaws I give myself). What special exceptions do crafting members of the party give us?

No way I'm going to the Gaiden thread again. Nothing ever happened.

Maybe--MAYBE--if someone was kind enough to list all the games on Bay12, RtD and otherwise, I made characters for. At least the ones that didn't implode within a turn or two.

Now, this can go one of two ways. You can try and get Tavik to come down in here to help you, which may prevent another incident with the fan. Or you can try and do it on your own, because you don't really care about death anyways. This way will require you to hang upside down and fix the fan with no tools. And I haven't looked, but I'm fairly sure you don't have a handiwork bonus.

((Pretty sure I have both a tool kit and a Handiwork bonus. Checking my sheet confirms both the toolkit and the fact that Handiwork seems to be my highest skill.))

[intuition:2-1]
Maybe...the leak isn't on the outside...maybe it's on the inside!

[int:3]
Wait...no...something about what you just said seems wrong. Hmm.

((Aw. Why couldn't you have just kept the result of the Intuition test? Why did you have to bring Intelligence into it?))
 

Original is only 5 bucks
http://store.steampowered.com/app/7760/
Or free if you want to torrent it, since I think the original makers aren't getting paid for it anymore regardless.

((Well yes, but if I bought the old version I wouldn't have spent $20 on the new one.))

X-COM: A completely old school pc game that eschews time saving and explanation in favor of massive amounts of freedom and control; which you will of course need since it's also much harder.

((...Um. Maybe I shouldn't worry about it just yet, given that the new one is currently crushing the life out of my team. On Easy mode.))

((I just bought the original and due to derping on my part, the first mission I got was...
A terror mission in Calcutta. I'm still playing it, but apparently aliens like to one-hit my rookie soldiers.))

((Ooh. That's pretty much what killed Socks. I suppose you should be glad they aren't killing two rookies per attack...))

((It's already eaten 8 of my people. On 2 missions. One as he was on the ramp running back into the skyranger.))

((Is it mean to laugh at this? Because I did.))

((That's the norm. It'll keep happening until you get Personal Armor. With the standard coveralls, a plasma pistol (which that aliens will abandon for plasma rifles, and then heavy plasmas fairly quickly) will do 0-92 damage to a soldier who's hit in the front, averaging at 40. With Personal Armor, the same shot will do 0-54 damage, averaging 2. Is that sounds odd, it's because of how the game calculates damage: Penetrating Damage=(Weapon Damage*A random point between 0% and 200%*Damage Modifier (For humans, Personal Armor or no, against plasma, 100%))-Armor, so for a plasma pistol shot against a coverall human in the front, it's (52*0%-200%*1)-12. For Personal Armor humans, it's (52*0%-200%*1)-50.))

((Ooh, percentile health...))

You stick with antonand help him choose ships, all the while
secretly longing to start tearing free bits of their control
panels or engines.

(Honestly. This gives me an idea for another game. GOD
DAMN IT IMAGINATION. WE ARE OVERBOOKED AS IT IS)

Ooh spaceship "salvager" game. id so play that, especially if it involved salvaging occupied vessels.

((I'd like that as well, but I'd like confirmation on what piecewise's idea was. Five bucks says it's even cooler than that.))

Julia smirks while deciphering her thoughts.
Who could be so foolish as to start fighting over an argument over the battle advantages of two drinks?

(Actually, the fight was started by the person claiming that alcohol lets you fight better. Carl was just going along with it, seeking the most swift end to the conversation. Or, more precisely, the end to the conversation that didn't end with him being beaten senseless as he pacifistically tried to explain his point.)

She hears Otto attempting to stop the fight, and shouts over to him while still working in her mind: "Thank you sir, now I don't have to come over there and slap the common sense into both of them."

"No offense, miss, but you could use some common sense yourself if you believe that stuff about heart."

Otto breathes out and wipes his forehead with his sleeve.
"That's better. Now, I take it we're assembled? I, Kuzma, Anderson, Julia and Sunan. Are we ready to go?"

"If Kuzma isn't going to continue trying to prove that alcohol makes you better at combat by beating up someone not trained in combat, I'm ready."

((I have never had a game do that.))
