[Dunnstral]

WHAT.....

What are you trying to say here

[gigabyteTroubadour]

^^ joke ^^

monks are infamously painful to use though from what i hear

pedit: you'll understand

[Dunnstral]

You'll see. You'll all see

[McMenno]

...what does that mean

steve has decided the adventuring life isn't for him and returned to his village

[gigabyteTroubadour]

are you rolling a new character?

i assume not but i think dunn wanted to clarify if you're leaving the group or not : (

[McMenno]

yeah I fucking hate steve

[gigabyteTroubadour]

yeah I fucking hate steve

sarcasm...??

legitimately cant tell sorry

[Dunnstral]

yeah I fucking hate steve

[Andrius]

Does anyone want:

+Leather Armor
+3 Vials of poison
+Light crossbow

I gave the Spell Components Pouch to Steve, so there's that.

I'll probably keep the dagger for throwing.

Also Achan has my Rapier.
If he wants it. (?)

[gigabyteTroubadour]

achan i thought cant fight with swords (rp reasons not mechanical)

also postie i did the research you're doing two weapon fighting right - using light weapons work better and you can get the same feat for both weapons

i guess you could use a sickle but i think daggers have better crit too and it's only a 1d4 vs 1d6 difference so \_o_/

[Andrius]

achan i thought cant fight with swords (rp reasons not mechanical)

Ok well if Postie doesn't want it and no one else wants it I'm selling it.

[McMenno]

steve'll take it

[gigabyteTroubadour]

steve'll take it

fg in a theoretical world where i roll a true neutral wizard who really likes undead am i like not allowed to do like create undead and other negative-channeling stuff without like gradually becoming evil (even if it's on a frequent basis)

usually when i roll this specific character dms have had differing opinions (some were fine calling necromancy in the sense of creating undead a neutral act despite the spell having an evil descriptor, others were like IF YOU CAST IT TOO OFTEN YOU'LL TURN EVIL YOURSELF)

obviously i never got far enough in any of those campaigns where that question actually mattered (never got past level 2 or day 3 of a campaign ) but the thought is still out there

if the answer is yeah that's fine for a character in a good-aligned campaign then i have other questions(? maybe one) about this character but i'm rolling my backup characters now to save time \_o_/

[FakeGod]

Neutral characters don't just do Neutral acts all the time. They do Good acts and Evil acts all the time.

Creating undeads in D&D is considered an Evil act because it denies the soul of the body their peaceful afterlife. (or something like that, as the lore goes)

I think as long as you make sure your character does a good mix of Good acts and Evil acts, you wouldn't fall Evil over time.

[gigabyteTroubadour]

ok, cool, that's fair

i kinda felt like i misrepped the other side of the argument with caps but that dm was super RAW \_o_/

[FakeGod]

A public service announcement regarding group initiatives.

Because in D&D you are allowed to delay your initiative, after the initiative order is revealed, the individual turn order stops mattering. (instead, it just becomes PCs go, then monsters go, then PCs go, then monsters go, and so on)

To speed up combat, after initiative order is revealed (typically after first round of combat), I typically just ask everyone to go take their turns, instead of waiting for your turn to come around.

So don't be afraid to act when I say, "everyone go"!

[gigabyteTroubadour]

oh yeah that was kind of weird but i kinda got it when that was happening

it's kind of like AD&D in that regard

[Andrius]

Yeah I definitely was confused and thus waited my turn.
Thanks for letting us know.

[FakeGod]

Yeah, sorry about that, I should have let you guys know beforehand, but I assumed I did at some point and forgot or something.

[Andrius]

Its ok.
It didn't save the bad guys from my blade so I'm content.

[FakeGod]

I knew that when you made that track check, Sevan was a dead man.

[Andrius]

I knew that when you made that track check, Sevan was a dead man.

I didn't think the 12 would suffice.
And then you said I succeeded and it was like the sun shone down and the trees parted and Ayarte's blood cried out from the ground and I felt the anger and went for it. I considered letting Raia kill him as I was typing the letters but just wanted him dead. Even if it was an ambush he was a dead man. Erwin feels zero guilt about killing the bastards.


OOC, I'm super happy to finally have been useful in combat. <3

[FakeGod]

Tracking is generally only DC 10, unless there are complicating factors.

In this case, you were tracking a wounded urban man running desperately through unfamiliar woods.
