Yeah, it's all via PM. Obviously, i'm going to back up the "game" messages, and then posting the "(x)'s story threads". Or letting the players do that, if they prefer :3

Would be a lot easier to keep track of on Myth-Weavers where you can have private threads... (and you can set people as Watchers who can view all threads)

Yes it would. I'm a watcher in a game over there, and it is quite amusing. :D

Awesome, count me in!

Here are a couple of homebrew classes for you to vet:

The Abolisher
The Krigsherran
The Bemantelter Schatten, in conjunction with Descent of Shadow

This is the kinda thing I relish, really...

You could have warned me that some idiot would make a "mundanes are better than magic" rant in the abolisher thread. I think I took 2d4 int damage.....

EDIT: And the thread spawned from that discussion is how Lycan was banned on GiTP. Yay History!
EDIT: I think.

The Krigsherran is fine. I like it, it's unconventional, and deadly. The Abolisher feels like Fiat incarnate, and really isn't particularly well balanced, so i'm going to have to veto it. The Bemantelter should be fine. Fairly supply independent, but he is not *that* strong, particularly at low levels. That said, I haven't finished reading every single power in decent of shadows, but you could use him for now. Uhm....Nevermind. All that together is probably worth a tier two, and is stronger than the power level I want this to be at.

Question: Since a full attack is a standard action, how does that interact with standard action strikes/maneuvers? If you use one, are you still only limited to one attack?

No. You make a full attack as part of the strike, rather than a single blow.

Maneuvers where supposed to be an option equal to full attack (as a substitution for mobile characters). Some maneuvers can become very strong when used on a full attack, because for example their effect is activated with an attack.

In your opinion, would making a strike take effect only once per attack sequence be enough?

That's totally fine with me. Was just asking.

I was planning on not going the whole way through with Descent of Shadow, getting out before Travel.

And I'm glad you like the Kriggy! [strike]How would you work Focused War Strike if you automatically get full-attacks as a standard action (which the OP does not mention...)[/strike] Forgot I wrote it like Flurry.

Now to plot!

I think I finished my character. Let me know if there's something missing (I know that there's no backstory, but it's not THAT important in this game, right? I can make it a little later?).

(Quote ziggurat included largely for amusement value) Let me be sure I have this correctly. We can full attack as a standard action. And standard action martial maneuvers can be incorporated as strikes within that full attack?
