Well the wording on the Defence quality is as follows:

An item with the Defensive quality increases the user's melee defense by its Defensive rating.

So I read that having 2 items with the defence quality stacks unless you’re aware of something that contradicts that?

Ah, I see what you mean. I was basing my comments on the Defense discussion on p. 105. "Sources that provide defense (such as most armor) list the defense provided as a number, or say that they 'provide' defense." I was assuming that the Defensive quality "provided" Defense, but as you point out, it increases Defense. Seems I was right before I corrected myself. Carry on!

Hey, folks: Shameless plug for my own Terrinoth game here at Gamers Plane, Traces of the Mad. The premise is that you're members of a private investigation firm, making this D&D meets Call fo Cthulhu, but using the Genesys rules. If you're up for another one-post-per-day extravaganza, I'd love to have you!

Nothing like gaining back your strain only to consume it in a spell.

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm moving tomorrow and likely won't have Internet again until sometime over the weekend. If things get moving, please don't wait on my account.

Just thought I'd pipe up and let you know I'm keeping an eye on the IC thread but I'm enjoying you guys RPing between yourselves so I've not felt the need to step in or anything.

Will be putting a post on later today/tomorrow with XP awards and will probably narrate you all back to Dawnsmoor but if you all want a bit more time to RP where you are just let me know

Yeah, I'm enjoying the getting-to-know you stuff, since Jabari is still a relative newcomer to these two. (I think we've known each other for a half day at most IC.) But I'm also ready to move on to Dawnsmoor when you are, mcneils.

I think by now we're plenty prepared to head back whenever you get a post in for it mcneils.

Yes hopefully Lyle is still alive and hasn't died from overwork.

I'm at 45 earned XP, since I joined late. Just 5 XP short of an upgrade to my Heroic Ability. But Pomin and Khurza should both be due an upgrade, if not two, I think? Looks like y'all have earned a lot more than I have.

Y'know, I totally forgot about that actually.

Good looking out I should probably track the metric also. I started to and forgot about how it accrues.

Update: Imma audit my xp since I think I might be off...

So, mcneils5, do you prefer to RP out shopkeeper encounters, or do you use the streamlined Negotiation rules by just asking us to roll versus Rarity to find and purchase something? If the latter, what's the Rarity modifier for Dawnsmoor? (I prefer streamlined shopping, but I defer to your preference as GM, of course.)

As for finding out about the hammer, I'm guessing Streetwise to try to fence it. Would it be Negotiation to find out if there's someone in town expecting the weapon?

I'm happy with either to be honest, lets say we'll use the Streamlined method for now but if there's anything like a Despair or a boat load of Threats crop up then I'll reserve the option to drop into a narrative scene if it seems appropriate.
Base Rarity for the Warhammer is 5 (3 + 2 for being Dwarven made) and let's say -2 for Dawnsmoor (-1 for being a Major metropolitan area and another -1 for being a Trading hub) so that leaves us on 3 which would be an Easy Negotiation check but it'll be upgraded to a Challenge dice for trying to avoid selling it to it's original 'owner'

Just the one roll needed if you're just trying to sell the Warhammer. If you're wanting to actively hunt down who the original we'll work out a separate check

Sounds good let me know where you'd want the roll I'll like go Easy Negotiation so it'd be GGYR for me unless someone wants to roll instead or assist.

Do it in the IC thread please (keeps them all together there)

Jabari removes up to 3 setbacks from Negotiation, but doesn't look like there will be any, so feel free to have Pomin roll it up.

Here are a few other random things Jabari would like to hunt down:

[-50 for lantern] [Enc 1; Rarity 1]
[-5 for rope] [Enc 1; Rarity 0]
[-20 for trail rations for 10 days] [Rarity 0]
[-75 for 3 Health Elixirs] [Enc 0; Rarity 3]
[-100 for 1 Immunity Elixir] [Enc 1; Rarity 4]
[-50 for 1 Regeneration Elixir] [Enc 1; Rarity 4]
[-100 for 2 Stamina Elixirs] [Rarity 3]

With the Rarity modifier of -2, several of these don't require rolls, I think. Is that right? I'll roll for the various elixirs, but I wanted to confirm that Rarity 0 just means "pay book price and be done with it."

Well, it doesn't say specifically in the rulebook but that seems like a fairly good fay to go. For everything else as it's all Elixirs just make one Easy Negotiation check as you'd be sourcing them from the same merchant most likely.

What's the difficulty to use Negotiation versus her? And I'm guessing she's not considered "polite company" for the purposes of Proper Upbringing...
