Chatter

Yeah, it's good to play a variety a games. I like to borrow ideas from different systems. Sometimes when I want to make up some magic item in DnD, I'll steal some cyberpunk item from Shadowrun and just call it magic.

My first D&D game was AD&D, but it was so long ago that I hardly remember it. I only really got into it around 3e and 3.5.

Honestly this site was my first contact with DnD at all, save for a chat formatted game my friend made for a little while. I've only ever played homebrews. Didn't even know about real tabletop RPG's at all until like a year or so ago.

Whelp, Rawlyn survived in the end ;) -- back to the lonely existence. Better draw more floor graffiti eh?

Yeah I suppose so. Now that I know that they don't cancel out the one previously I am gonna leave one everywhere

Just make a signature for every post where you put "...and I mark a white sign on the floor" at the end.

In a room with a big fight, another player walks in and sees the floor is covered in hundreds of glowing white signs.

It is too blinding to see

The character I built is based on Mystic v2, and a few weeks ago the latest version was posted. It's a big change, and my current build is impossible by the new rules. I'm ok with re-speccing (at the next bonfire stop, or death as may happen momentarily) - or keeping on as is with my high-flying spear-wielding, probably-OP-because-its-gone paladin-smite-style-damage ability.

Hmm does v2 have an early level cap? If so we should definitely switch to the new one. Otherwise feel free to keep or switch as you please.

Also sorry about not posting. I've suffered a corruption of my notes, and I'm trying to rewrite them before continuing, but I've been really short on time lately...

v2 caps at 10, which is pretty far off I think.

I'll have a look at the new one more closely and see what would become of Alara under it (I do like the conceptual idea of a Soul Knife, as that's kind of what I wanted the Immortal in v2 to be and what I built towards... nothing quite as cool as a psionic wolverine!)

I might be intermittent for a little while but I at least have rebuilt my notes!

Sweet! I'm inclined to rebuild as the Soul Knife (both b/c I think, while I've abused it, the paladin-smite damage thing is more OP on Mysti v2 than even the Paladin; and b/c the Soul Knife looks so rad. I can do it while also maintaining many of Alara's tricks - like flying - while also freeing up the dependance on the spear so I can maybe take advantage of some of the alternative weapons you've got cooked up. As right now, by her build, it's Spear or not at all).

I've just been putting it off until you "reappeared"

Hey all. First of all sorry for the patchy posting, my schedule should be back to mostly daily now.

Second of all some observations; I believe most of you have experienced atleast the primary multiplayer aspect of the souls series; jumping into other people's games. But now some of you have encountered others; the first are covenants. Tosti and Alara have both (perhaps unwittingly) joined a covenant. I decided not to use a multiplayer aspect to these instead focusing on granting unique benefits in exchange for barter. The other has been met by Alara in terms of be Raided! I decided I wanted to leave raiding as something I use DMPCs for, but let me know if you would like to raid each other (I'm reluctant to do so though as I think DnD is primarily designed for collaboration not conflict).

Another thing that's come up recently is many of you have encountered my implementation of the 4e skill challenge into 5e. How did you feel that went (for those who finished it) or is going?

Alara joined a covenant?! Neat. The raid was interesting, probably the most intense moment I have had so far (in which I genuinely thought I was going to die!)

Actually I got that wrong... Harmia joined a covenant not Alara...

You almost did die in fact, was down to a single dice roll!

I was going to say, it really was unwitting if Alara did it (I wouldn't complain mind you).

Also, Alara rebuild is here still need to write out the talent descriptions. The new Mystic Immortal is a huge tank, which would be really grindy in this setting so I made her a Soul Knife (and retained some of her trademarks as best as I could -- flying in particular). No spears, now just psionic wolverine blades.

You'll need to put it on the arrive or swap out who you have submitted as I cannot see the character ATM. Though I'm willing to believe the build is fine!

It's on the archive now, but I'll also push through the swap and carry on the adventure.

Oh gosh, is that what that was? Haha, woops!
