Welcome to the game, ladies!

Discuss whatever you like here, Granny wont tell...

Fates be cruel, but I lay the back o' me hand upon 'em.

Cancer may replace that 3 with a 10. This will give him the equivalent of a 28 point buy, which is what Dragune also has right now. Code H has a 25 point roll-out and with his wild racial mods I am going to say keep it as is (hope you dont mind).

That leaves Tpasq. Yours is equal to a 13 point-buy, lol. I am going to give you a chance to mulligan your stats, or you can let me assign an array to you.

Code H · #3 11-30-2011, 04:21 PM

Hum...
Strength 23, I suppose I can live with that.

For clarification if you don't mind.
Natural Armor will be halved and go into damage reduction just like regular armor right?

ArcaneJazz · #4 11-30-2011, 04:25 PM

Hmm... for natural armor, I am going to say, you gain half of it as deflection to AC, half as DR. Sound good?

Code H · #5 11-30-2011, 04:26 PM

Oh, okay, that's even better! Thanks.

So one more question I forgot. About this new armor thingy. What column do I put the bonus from the table in. I put it in the 'other' column in the character sheet and that applied the bonus to touch and flat footed. Or should I put the bonus in armor so that it is not applied to touch?

TPasq98 · #7 11-30-2011, 04:28 PM

thanks Mrs Jazzy! I'll take the mull-again, I THINK?!

this is soooooo stressful!

TPasq98 · #8 11-30-2011, 04:38 PM

second time around: 12,14,10,11,13,10.

I don't know what that is on a point buy but it IS good enough for me! Thanks again for the re-roll!

TPasq98 · #9 11-30-2011, 04:50 PM

quick question: allowing skill tricks?

(i.e. compelte scoundrel)

ArcaneJazz · #10 11-30-2011, 04:52 PM

I didnt want this to be stressful to anyone, sorry

I am trying to capture a bit of the old school spirit. And I have honestly been way more generous than older editions of the game still. Not all games need to have heroes with ridiculously high stats. I feel like too many players rely on their numbers to get through a game. I think this way people might try to think of more ingenious ways to handle encounters.

Btw, youre still the weakest at a 22 point value. Also considering you have the weakest build next to Code, I am going to let you make those 10s into 12s, and that 13 a 15. You have less tools to handle combat than Cancer, and lack the brute force Code offers.

Sure this is more complicated than a simple point buy, but I feel better, and thats all that matters

EDIT: Skill tricks are allowed.

It goes in your "Armor" section.

Worn armor just contributes to DR.

Its all good... I work best under stress! and thanks, I'll make the adjustments. And yes, creating crazy strong builds has never interested me in the least. For some reason I can never get myself out of the 'core' classes and races... guess I'm a little old school too!

It was funny. I participated in an arena game here in these threads a few years back and my simple 'battle cleric' build outlasted a lot of the beefed up 'super' builds that came and went.

Anyway, hopefully Connor will be able to add a bit of melee support to the group by fainting and gaining sneak attack bonuses. I'm also hoping his combat expertise feat will keep him alive long enough to hack at someone!

Double posted in character thread. Could you perhaps take of this Arcane?

Also are you allowing rolls within TT's?

ArcaneJazz · #14 11-30-2011, 07:52 PM

Will fix it. TT tags are allowed.

Hi ArcaneJazz,

Could I get some help for Maia's stats? I had a 13-point roll, followed by a 19-point mulligan with nothing higher than a 12. I'm just ridiculously unlucky when rolling for stats and now ask for the DM to decide my fate. Just a note that Maia will have no combat prowess and I plan on giving her the Noncombatant and Vulnerable flaws to represent her complete lack of martial training and combat experience.
