OOC Talk

For the out of character discussions.

I apologize for my sudden and unannounced absence. I had to deal with a crisis at work. It's all sorted now so I'm back and anxious to catch up on my games. Thanks!

To let everyone know I am trying to get ahold of Cosmickeyring, I'm going to give him a bit more time to post (might be busy) but will move on with the story after a bit since it's nothing too heavy right now.

Thank you for the update. I look forward to seeing 1 post per day as advertised.

The voice I imagine for PROWL is that of Soundwave from 1980's Transformers. In fact, each time I type up a post I sit beside the electric fan and speak the lines into it hahaha!

Yes its all good.

Haven't had much experience with Wild Shape. Do you just take the beast's hp given in the stat block or do you roll its hit dice to determine hp? Metal Wild Shape has some boosts that affect that:

Metal Wild Shape
Whenever you use your Wild Shape feature, your shape is made with metal and pieces of the city, more similar to a construct than a beast. While transformed into a beast, your AC increases by your proficiency bonus and the Constitution score of the shape increases by 2.

You take the beast's hp, looks like you would add a flat +2 hp because of metal wild shape.

Doesn't it depend on how many hit dice the beast has? A 2-point increase in CON score is a 1-hp increase per hit die.

As for taking the beast's hp the stat block gives both a straight number and a dice roll for hp, so which one should I take? For example, for the panther, do I get 13hp (plus whatever benefit from +2 to CON) or do I roll 3d8 (again plus the benefit from the increased CON)?

I'm not sure if I missed the answer, but can Tremor take a second roll on the hack due to the assist action from Prowl?

I got +2 con mixed with a +2 mod, so your math is right. There isn't any rule that dictates you have to roll for hp or take the "normal" number, your choice.

@Tsavo Yes you can do that because of his earlier help.

Well, we didn't discuss two-way radios and such, but PROWL does have a smartphone. :-)

PC's are still half a mile out so Rodrigo meant drive onward but if the team prefers to move in on foot Rodrigo will be taken aback but as a player I'm okay with it.

That is allowed, keep in mind PROWL will obviously have to talk in order to respond, and also assumed they have a phone in their hand (or holding it on their shoulder).

Oh...yeah...might be something to spend 'gold' on in the future, an integrated communication system. A cell/radio transmitter/reciever would be a good upgrade to look into.

We are driving onward now, correct?

I think PROWL can be texted and can text back, so perhaps no need to speak. I hope his phone is on silent!

I agree, we should all get radios. It's only 20gp per unit.

Dang...I missed that. I can afford one of those. So after this first mission.

I missed that, too! Yes, let's all get one after this mission. Naji's telepathy is cool but that's only for speaking to her, correct? And only with line of sight.

Haha yes, Rodrigo is basically Robocop/Judge Dredd. No subtlety whatsoever. He recognizes the value of stealth (that's why he ordered PROWL to recon, and even suggested the spellcasters send their familiars) but he cannot be expected to do the same. He will march up and kick your door down.

Maybe I should also talk about his being bossy. I'm not a bossy player so please don't hate me. It is just the character. ;-)

I like the character for sure, very neat man who lays down the law.
