[OOC] Out of Character

[Pilgrim]

Use this thread to discuss the game out of character.

Looks like the Eidolon will be the "Tank" in this party.

That should be interesting. As I can give him an absolutely crazy AC in the later levels...and a size increase/wings/funstuff

I'm out in the patch right now so I'll just say Thankyou Captain Reynolds. Also, I can see Keiren's private thread.

[Pilgrim]

Oops! Fixed that - thanks for the head's up!

Those are pretty harsh thirst and starvation rules! Average person (ie Commoner 1) dies in 3 days from lack of water (fairly accurate). Same person dies in 12 days from lack of food (About 20 days off if my memory serves me correctly of my Outdoor education course. 3 minutes air, 3 days water, 30 days food.).

[Pilgrim]

Hmm, I'll have to check my math on that. It should be about 30 days, so I'll fix...

[Saidande]

Yes the rule of 3s. Three minutes Air, Three days water, 30 Days food is the norm. In a normal environment. In an extremely cold or hot environment its worse though. 2 days water and 10 days food in the desert or tundra.

[Elfman6]

Yes, and Varisia is approximately the same climate as Canada; so we can extrapolate from there. Or ask me, your local freezing Canuck.

[Pilgrim]

Okay, after a little simulation modeling I changed the hunger rules. Keep in mind that hunger is checked every 3 days, not every day. As for nonstandard climates, I'll adjust the DC as appropriate. It won't be perfect, but it'll work.

If you actually want to see the spreadsheet I made, just ask.

[Pilgrim]

I like making players' sheets. Should have done it last game. Puts a bit more work on me, but also makes me look at what ya'll can do, gives me a standard format so I know where to look for stuff and how to read it, and gives me a private notes area at the bottom that players can't see.

[Elfman6]

Its not a bad idea.

Also, 3 characters with the Exile trait. Can't say I didn't see that coming. +2 Initiative is pretty handy.

[Keiran]

Exile could fit my character background, but Missionary is good too. I think I'll be going with that.

[Pilgrim]

Might I recommend, at least in the near future - when determining daily spell lists, confer to see who needs to cast what. Detect Magic is useful, for example, but not everyone needs it.

[Keiran]

Someone else usually takes it because of how useful it is, so I skipped over it.

[Elfman6]

First post is always the hardest...
