He is writing the story, just as you are. I'm just here to set up the obstacles and moderate. I get to edit it back if need be. I don't mind it at all. A lot of role playing going on here. Everyone has their own style ad you all will find your own ways of communicating like any group

No worries, just learning the language, as you say.

So CodeWookiee is your RL friend and LawRubia is his RL wife? Kilikina is the female player who joined the game randomly? And you've made her your in game wife. Wow, that must be some hot backstory. No wonder it took so long.

You are such a gossip, but correct, lol. Actually, it was Antethoe that took so long. And again for the correction, LawRubia is my friend and CodeWookiee is her adorable husband. I threw a lot of NPCs at Kit because she had a conflicted backstory to shake it out. She had a lot of options of where to take it and instead she fell in love with me. I'm irresistible. What can I say?

Not a gossip, lol, it stays with you and I. We share history and friendship and have long discussed relationships since your first marriage, all through the ups and downs of SL, and my trials with Fatima, Claudia and RL.

True that. Kilikina may only show her tough, fun exterior, but I’ve seen a tender soul in her. She has angelic sensibilities and like my wife, the world is hard on those who have that gift. This angel needs the succor of mortals, not the other way around.

At our age, we've all been through so much, a loving, or at least a friendly ear to listen is a comfort.

Btw, I wasn't angry about losing my gear, I just used that to express my personality a bit, and have a little fun. It was sweet of her to give it back.

1 concern is rolling real time for you. Should someone suffer a death blow of hp, neither James nor me want to have to start a new character. I know the game has risks, just saying.

So I just found out in 5e the higher the AC the more one is protected. When I last played, in the Dark Ages, the lower the AC the better. Which is why I complained about having 13 instead of 11. So with Leather Armor having a 11, and my shirt having +1 (and my Dexterity modifier for light armor added, is that another +4?) what is my AC?

I think I forgot to narrate her giving your gear back at the ship. You can imagine it to be difficult to run both subforums with the dialogue between you two. She's a damn good role player and she covered my mistake.

You should ask the Kon in game "how" he died. Its a fine story. It's hard to die in 5e, though possible. Going below 0, takes you to 0 and then you make death saving throws. Storm has gone unconscious twice alone in a cave. Ask him about his adventures and how he survived that.

No worries. I try to keep the characters intact and moving along in the story. Characters die only when they've done something so egregious that I can't build story around it.

In 5e, you can only use one AC formula. Leather Armor is 11 + your DEX mod of 3. Normally armors do not stack. you have to pick and choose how to calculate AC. Mage Armor spell doesn't add to existing armor. It is its own formula. The shirt is a magical item and an acceptable modifier, to any armor so your AC is 15. A hit has to meet that. A hit of 15 or higher strikes you. Plate mail is 18 without modifiers. I loved Storm's and your reactions, lol.

IRL plate would have a -5 to hit. Have you seen those guys in full plate try to swing a sword?

Irrelevant lol.

I cast a cure wounds near the fountain. What is 5e rules on being able to cast again?
Aug 18, 2020 4:31 pm
Read something about spell slots, that I can cast as many in a day as I have slots. I only cast one spell today (the shout and firebolts are cantrips), so I should be able to cast up to 5, right? Or are there other rules in play in Maztica?

at second level,

5 is the number of non-cantrip spells you know and can put on sheet (level one spells)
3 is the number of spell slots or the number of spells you can cast before a long rest.

nothing special about Maztica right now.

Dont forget ... this is a bonus action so you can do this and an action each turn

Bardic Inspiration

You can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do so, you use a Bonus Action on Your Turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6.

Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, Attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls The D20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th Level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.

Did everyone but me have a romantic back story? Maybe I should have waited for a woman with a boat, LOL.

Ha! Neither Codewook nor Law had any romance whatsoever. Kon got laid twice because he tried to fuck every female in the story but that’s not romance. Kili definitely had romance because she set it up as a character flaw. That puts you in the majority of no romance. I am sorry that was an issue. It was a jest to throw Kon’s women both at him, but he didn’t seem to react and even more wants to get Huatzi alone again. Ah well, my humor falls flat while I had my birthday. The main story was trying to play out despite this humorous side joke. My apologies again. I really do want this to be about heroes but sex appears to rear its ugly head, and this time it’s my own fault. You have requested romance but I don’t know how to make that kind of sexual connection with you and I am possessive about the only available single. It not in my nature to act in love when I’m not. We could invite another player in for you but how exactly do we advertise that or insure that single would serve the purpose. I am in a quandary of how to help in this regard.

Romance, or even the more carnal aspect is only good in RP when it comes naturally. We’ve talked it out too much for it to flow right now. And I get what you are saying about you using an MPC for a full blown romance vs a romp. Maybe as we go on, an opportunity for distraction could present itself. I do need chances to work charms/charisma on females (what's the use of 15 charisma otherwise, I could have put those points on something else if not for this need).
Kon is lonely in RL, a feeling I know too well, and I believe to some extent, due to circumstances beyond your control, you are as well. You did have the advantage of having exclusive access to the self-admittedly romantically-flawed single for a few weeks before any of us met (LOL), but that’s the advantage of being the DM.
For my great romance RP, I may need to start a game, now that we have found site. Of course, like SL and most social media/games, I figure 99% of interested females are Catfish. But if they can RP enough to fool me, it’s all fantasy, and I never give personal info out, so no harm done. If you’ve connected other ways and have a confirmed female and are building trust, I’d never begrudge you for finding happiness, I’d encourage it. If you’re just enjoying the RP connection, I, too, get that. No worries between you and me, my friend.
In the game, I’m enjoying being a bit, as Storm says, snarky. With all you goodie-two-shoes Palidins preaching truth and justice, the party needs some sarcastic wit. For comic relief if nothing else. 😉
For Kon, if you need to poor a bucket of water on him now that we’re a party, do it gently. Or let him keep the older lady and enjoy himself a bit, we all deserve at least a little pretend happiness. Maybe drop the other sprite out.

Thank you for the heads up on Battleaxbiff, he and Huatzi are talking subforum and I have no reason not to keep up the bromance between those two soldiers. My weakness is for female NPCs in this story, lol, so there is quite the chance.

And yes, please be ever the snark as well as be the experienced player to move us around. Duke is very restricted into being a paladin and I can't get my usual wise cracks out, especially since Kit is so good at making me be socially acceptable and playing the role. Isn't it cute how she plays the wife so well?

Antethoe was being particularly snarky too last night. I had to text her and verify that I was not offending her. with the role play that we two understand so well. Nope, she and Codewook are having a blast.

Antehoe made the comment about being so hot she had to cross and uncross her legs. Knowing she was the RL married lady, I wondered if a full orgy was about to bust out, LOL. Teasing, but there have been some double entendre flying around, which I love.

I think my comment about romance last night was, when I flirted with the cat lady, I didn't know if you wanted to play a more adult RP or the old prudish ways of our youth. But I figured after the campaigns you'd be leading over the last year or so, you'd be ready for more mature fare. The male boatman threw me a bit, but I figure it's RP, and let's see how that goes. Now I have to wonder had he been a she....
Still, we have time for all of that.

So, I have to ask, I know you played M/F with Kon. Have you really played a lesbian encounter? That would be interesting to say the least.
