I agree completely that PCs have to mesh. Which just confirms my intention of splitting the party before long, because its current matchup is a consequence of trying to kickstart the game after a lull.

Which means that people should find reasons for talking about what their characters want IC in the campfire thread. It's ok to metagame this a bit, because that enables you to steer a conversation in the right direction - for instance, as a player you know the other guy is shady, but IC you are clueless. So basically, you have to give yourself a slight edge in finding out that you don't want to travel around with this guy, unless you enjoy the conflict.

Psh, Mael is taller than Isul, he already distrusted him.

@McPoyo: ah, so his favourite companions are insects. That explains the life in the desert.

@Sohala: don't worry, Mael's perception strongly colours his (internal) comments.
OOC, I'm curious how he obtained his melds "with [his] own toil."

He 'crafts' them, from the essence of dwarves who have come before him.

McPoyo · « **Reply #964 on:** March 11, 2011, 10:34:25 PM »

Not insects, he eats those.

Also, there's an unhappy history involving a halfling in his past, so...

Nice touch. Creepy in a way, yet nice.

If it's unclear who the demon is talking to, then it's unclear...

But ok, I can elaborate: from an IC perspective, it's a demon talking so his 'enemies' are the party (though he seems to think they will turn into allies later on) and his allies the demons.

Can I work less than 8 hours a day on a magic item? Just thinking about crafting minor objects on the move.

Brainpiercing · « **Reply #968 on:** March 14, 2011, 02:07:08 PM »

Hmmm... by RAW, I don't know. I don't see much of a problem with it, though.

(You also still have a lot of effects you could transfer to other items.)

Omen of Peace · « **Reply #969 on:** March 16, 2011, 09:47:15 AM »

Not many suggestions from Mael's teammates... Should I just go ahead with round 11 and the Return of the Big Battle?

Brainpiercing · « **Reply #970 on:** March 16, 2011, 12:46:01 PM »

Hmmm... raith is still AWOL, the others...?

McPoyo · « **Reply #971 on:** March 16, 2011, 05:44:06 PM »

I would go to round 11, since I'm still holding until they try something.

Marc is ready to grapple...

I wrote this up in 10 minutes, and in a hurry, so please check it for obvious problems.

Unless that energy res All, it's too little too late to matter.

Sohala · « **Reply #975 on:** March 17, 2011, 09:02:24 PM »

Looks better. One of minor gripes over VoP is the weapon selection...I understand you are suppose to be poor, but you can play a bum character with a great sword...

I do have to agree with McPoyo though, the energy resistance should come sooner, dragonscale husk gives 5 fire/cold/acid/electricity at level 5, increasing by 5 every 5 levels.

Maybe tack on mind blank.

Thistledown Thurbertaut · « **Reply #976 on:** March 17, 2011, 09:14:21 PM »

...scaling to immunity to mind control/possession?

Omen of Peace · « **Reply #977 on:** March 17, 2011, 09:16:01 PM »

And flight!

Brainpiercing · « **Reply #978 on:** March 17, 2011, 09:46:15 PM »

IF you put in all those, the bonus feats have to go!

The deal is this: I've been thinking that VoP should give virtual item special abilities (slotless) worth about 70-80% of your WBL. But that means lose any specials, and all the feats. I think Thistle still wants some of those feats

.

And in this game, a non-caster can get lots of abilies with RHD. And casters should never complain, anyway. I rather believe I'm erring on the side of too much.

Sohala · « **Reply #979 on:** March 17, 2011, 09:50:34 PM »

Halve the feats, I always thought there were to many, until those feats are outside the exalted ones...in which case they actually have a use.
