Nexaduro Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 No, but I should still have it until the beginning of the next session, seeing as modifying it in the middle of my action there would be akin to a moderator abusing the kill function in the game console on a server. But how is this going to affect our skill points? Are we going to have to decide upon which skill points to get rid of in order to retroactively remove it, or do we just lose all current bonuses from it.Unless you did something very wrong, you get no skill points from Templates unless they boost Int. In which case, just recalculate. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

The_Mather1 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yeah, +4 INT, which makes for a 12 skill points' difference. Hence why I'm asking, because that's enough to make the removal of templates go from a hassle to a direct pain in the ass.I mean, I don't care about the loss of direct ability bonuses, since so what if my equipment suddenly is a medium encumbrance instead of a light one? I'm still faster than the rest of you. But when it suddenly includes removing 1/4th of your character's expertise, it just turns into a problem because that's 1/4th of your character you have to get rid of.

The_Mather1 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Not really that unbalanced, after all they require levels just slightly below those where the spells would be available to spellcasters anyways, they're extremely limited and they take up a trait and a lot of feats.This is essentially replacing any other chance of having decent combat or money making capability with the ability to actually use magic as a tool rather than a commodity, and thanks to the limitation to a specific field, it severely punishes people for not thinking ahead when taking it.

Retech Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Except spellcasters get their magic from levels, not feats.

The_Mather1 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 That they do, but this has little to do with this as the use of the magic gained by spellcaster levels is so limited that it is nearly useless alone. What this does is to change magic from a utility you can use every once in a while to something you can actually rely on for combat or other purposes. Though of course you could just apply the same limitation as in To Aru Majutsu no Index; that when espers use normal magic, they suffer damage and bleed from the strain of their body being incompatible with mana.

The_Mather1 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 You could say I directly loathe it. Not just as in I tend to avoid it at all costs, but rather that just the knowledge that it exists serves as a negative influence on my experience of life as a whole.There are two things I like about magic; the ability to use it whenever and wherever, and McGyvering. That kind of magic not only lacks both, but pretty much tells anyone who like those traits to go [bleep] themselves. Twitter: @TheMather1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexaduro Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Vancian casting is a bother. Doesn't try to make sense. But we work with what we're given, I suppose. On the note of casting... I may have to change my character to one of my backups, since a grappling build is more or less impossible to pull off unless I have a very squishy, medium or smaller caster enemy. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Nexaduro Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Oh, also, Master Summoners and Broodmasters are the most annoying archetype in the game, and lag the game to a horrible pace.

Nexaduro Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If I am healed by Positive AND Negative Energy, as a Synthesist, how does that work? Healing is explicitly stated to only affect the Summoner and not his Eidolon, but does the Negative Energy both heal me and damage my Eidoform? Or if I select Undead Appearance, does the same apply to Positive Energy since it's a special quality of the Eidolon that it's harmed by such? I'm fine with DM rulings on the matter. If you just want to avoid the issue, I can ignore Undead Appearance as an evolution option and reroll my Tiefling's ability. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Resistance Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 We were attacked by bandits, we interrogated and then executed them. They had their village raided by mercenaries.We continued our path onto a different village where the mayor asked us to help with a task. Some mercenaries had entered the grave of stone-eye and after a lot of fumbling around we finally managed to open the door. Inside was a group of mercenaries - Retech was insistent on letting them free after they surrendered so we let them go free.We got a reward and decided to progress onto Restov. Archi doesn't seem to be on at the same times as me, so if he comes online at a time when I am not online can somebody please contact him and ask whether he is able to GM on Saturday.If Archi is not able to: Retech, if I write a session for you (modify as you please) could you please run one? Also, what are the thoughts on getting rid of alignment:Paladins abolished, nobody is playing one so it's fine.Clerics are treated as neutral.Detect alignment lets the DM give a short fragment of their personality: short-temper, bumbling-idiot or whatever.Protection from X only affects the innately aligned (demons, devils, undead; angels, aeons, agathions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retech Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think I've pinged everyone that I saw on steam recently, but here are more details: [hide=Oakdale] OakdaleSize: Small TownPopulation: 1000Alignment: Neutral Good Welcome to the town of Oakdale, population 1000. It was founded on 12 Abadius, 4713 by Bishop Jen the Good of Restov, ambassador of the Agathions and retired representative to Pharasma's court of judgement. Originally created as a settlement to spread the message of the supreme pantheon and aid the tired and huddled masses, it continues to stay true to that philosophy to this day. Government: Magical (Theocracy)Head of State: Bishop Jen the GoodPious, Prosperous Pathstapo Agent: (Classified)Agent of Inquisition: Nex's character"Mentor" of the Holy Guard: Mather's character Points of Interest: The Cathedral - Built in the Japanese style (built ontop/within a stone mound with various tower/turrets), the spires and towers reach towards the heavens, in honor of Pharasma's symbol of the spire. The center tower is the main building of the complex, supporting offshoots to other turrets (defensive towers) and an astronomy tower above that allows observation of the heavens. The stone mound extends around 10 ft high and the cathedral itself rises many feet about that. Cathedral Complex - Home of the spellcasting orders and the main altars, the cathedral complex is located in the forest region at the very center of the city. It is protected by 25ft reinforced walls. The entrance is on the far side away from the river and is essentially a large gatehouse. Inner City - Home of the original settlers, the inner city forms the upstanding moral center and original vision for the city. Only populated by residents of the good alignment (and clerics of pharasma or nethys and special dispensions), the inner city is protected by 20 ft reinforced walls and is mostly defended by the paladin orders. Outer City - Currently under construction, the outer city is more lenient in its acceptance of other religions and also accepts those of neutral on the good-evil axis. The outer city is guarded mostly by town militia led by the paladin orders and watched over by the inquisition, that root out evil before it can spread. It has a 20ft reinforced wall as well. Beyond the Outer City - Mostly farmers and herders, the alignment of these people are not as strictly controlled, but good-neutral is still required. Settlers need only register to receive their own plot of land, contingent that they stay on the land for a few years (or the land will revert). This food is not essential as the city is self-sufficient within its walls, but the food forms a strong export market to nearby Restov.
