Title: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: oslecamo on April 26, 2013, 05:53:56 AM
OOC stuff goes here for the Low-End players.

Character creation deadline is now marked to the next Friday from here.

Transferring my question over: Dragonfire Inspiration is definitively banned, right?
Well, if you pick just dragonfire inspiration and no other bardic music buffers, I'll allow it.


Oslecamo, is there still room in this? I would like to put my hand up if there is :flutter
I believe there may be room for one more yes, in particular with the Faster Paced rules.

Is it okay if I ignore the "Arcane Casters only" part of Craft: Alchemy? It'll make the traps Shatterscale makes a lot more potent.
Yes.  I always believed that limitation to be really silly anyway.

I'm ready to make a character whenever.
Then make it happen. :p

Normally binding requires drawing a sign, how do you want to refluff that?

I would supose you have some kind of control panel implanted in your body just under your skin, or some exterior command device, and you need to physically press the right buttons on it to load up the right personality.

Looks pretty good. Feel free to come up with original names for legendary pilots and the program, I'll gladly add them to the setting mythos.

Some sugestions tough:
-Lena, young princess-pilot halfling of Satera, restored her Orakian kingdom on the Landen System trough her graceful skill on the frontlines.
-Rulakir, a bloodthirsty but highly skilled orc mecha mercenary of unknown origin. His own family was killed long ago in long forgoten wars, and his hatred has kept him alive for centuries before falling near the end of the Devastation War.

Much more than what a 1st level character could afford.

I like your suggestions and will go with them.  I'll flesh out a little bit more about the "how binders work in this setting" part and then you can integrate it into the world however you see fit.

You're a bard right? Check the PHB then.

I'm... really bad at finding the info. Yes, I failed to find starting gold in the PHB.  :blush


On the plus side, I forgot that Bardic Music effects lasted for another five rounds after you stop even without Lingering Song.  :lmao
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Concerned Ninja Citizen on April 26, 2013, 05:26:53 PM
Bard is 4d4x10 average 100gp.

It wouldn't be just Lingering Song you're giving up for DFI. Masterwork Instruments, Inspirational Boost, Medal of Valor (in a level or so when you can afford it) and, depending on Oslecamo's interpretation, Extra Music which will be important at 1st lv when you only have 1 use normally. I'd go with the above instead of DFI unless you have a concept that requires being dragony.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Raineh Daze on April 26, 2013, 05:32:28 PM
I expect they'd fall under similar limitations, though. So... basically looking at things on a case-by-case basis.

I think Spirits are usable outside of the ship, though? I'll have other options from that. I think.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Concerned Ninja Citizen on April 26, 2013, 05:39:15 PM
There's a line between "not high op" and "utterly nerf bards." DFI and Words of Creation are the sources of absurd bonuses. Without those, I would think stacking the more minor bonuses would be fine. You could get a similar effect by taking the Leader feat 3 or 4 times.

It's Oslecamo's call, though.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Raineh Daze on April 26, 2013, 05:43:34 PM
I actually get Leader as a bonus feat. I'm not sure if this is Leadership (in which case, I guess it's the ship crew or... something. Bit confused) or something I'm unaware of. :???
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Concerned Ninja Citizen on April 26, 2013, 05:50:33 PM
Look in the Pilot Feats thread in the SRW subforum.

Leader gives you an aura of command with a 5ft/mu radius. Allies within that radius get a +1 command bonus to attacks and, I think, AC. If you take it additional times the bonus and radius goes up by 1 and 5ft/mu.

In order to use Ships Full of Hope (the ship captain school) maneuvers on your allies, they must be within your leader aura.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Raineh Daze on April 26, 2013, 06:00:06 PM
Ah.

So my unique school's maneuvers require me to be right next to my allies in something that shouldn't be right at the front of battle, or spend lots and lots of feats. Hmm.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Concerned Ninja Citizen on April 26, 2013, 06:09:31 PM
Only the ones that directly affect your allies. There's quite a few SFoH maneuvers that affect your battleship instead.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Raineh Daze on April 26, 2013, 06:14:05 PM
Well, I was going to be focusing on buffing anyway, so the feats aren't much of a loss. I suck with feats, getting bonus feats just makes it worse. :lmao

What's Medal of Valor from?

I think I'm finished (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=9779.msg159451#msg159451), might need to have the battleship stats fixed.

I kinda wanted to play something simple. And as I haven't played a Ranger, I was like, "Standing there and going fwip-fwip seems good."

Osle, can Mecha's be considered a Favoured Enemy? Or are they a subtype? Purely for interest's sake. I don't think running at a big tin man would go well for most people.

I'm playing something that is horribly complicated and Ranged Combat isn't a dedicated focus for me.  I'll be kind of all over the place abilities wise so we won't be stepping on each others toes any, no worries.

I'm going ranged too. Right now we only have one melee guy in the group. But, depending on the setting, we might not need more than that. Up until now we have a binder, a ranged ranger, a ranged fighter (me), and a ship captain. Do you think another melee guy is needed, Oslecamo? Because, if we do and there's no more players,I might respec.
Another thing, the modern/futuristic weapons in the DMG don't have prices. How can we purchase them?

EDIT: Sheet is almost ready.

Strictly speaking, the Captain is ranged too. Mostly because the ship has a beam cannon attached. :lmao

We're refluffing things, last I checked. So... Light Crossbow is probably some sort of basic pistol (I expect it shoots glowing green bullets) and a rapier... highly advanced alloy. Studded Leather? Cheap, beginner energy field. XD

If it is thought that we need another melee guy I'll do it, I've never played a Binder before but they've got a lot of melee support.

Isn't Kuro in this? Wasn't he saying something about swinging a sword around, or was that a mis-post?
If not not, I'm more than happy to go beatstick/meatshield/pouncy mc chargington

I just thought we already had one of those guys, and then a rogue. Along with binder, who i mistook orignally for a beguiler (don't even ask how I did that), bard and one other - who I've now realised is ranged.

You guys called it first, so I'm quite happy to run amok in melee.

By the way, we've obviously got a least a little confusion going on with party roles so I think everyone should post what they're playing just so everybody else knows what's going on.


I am a Binder // Real Pilot with a ranged focus.  I'm contemplating changing my character, I've never played a Binder and I'm not sure that I'll enjoy it.

Post by: Raineh Daze on April 28, 2013, 12:34:58 PM
Bard//Ship Captain. Can do ranged (barely), but is pretty much made of glass. Support and talking to people. Also aims to be a rockstar. XD

Feel free to go either melee or ranged, party already seems to have some of both.

As already pointed out, you pick "normal" equipment and refluff it as futuristic stuff. Crossbows are photon guns, blades are advanced alloys, maces have disruption fields, etc, etc. Comparatively the same stats because everything you'll face also has futuristic defences. :p

However here's some prices Sneaky Sable oncer converted for me for the future equipment

Right now I'm a Real Pilot // Incarnate with a focus on tanking. I'm not 100% on the Incarnate part of that, though. It seems rather underwhelming at low levels. I'm considering reworking to a Dragonfire Adept (also Real Pilot.) That character could still tank if needed, but would be more ranged focused and would be using the breath weapon/ entangling exhalation setup for battlefield control.

Heh, we could switch and I could be the Binder...

Actually, I'm thinking about Totemist now. It appears that, at least at lv 1, Totemist can tank better than Incarnate and do more damage to boot. 

So if Incarnate appeals to you, have at it.

Umm... mind listing what the weapons and armour were before you refluffed them, Scout? Also, where has that assault blade been pulled from? It isn't listed anywhere in the various robot threads as you've gotten it... :/

In any case I'm currently leaning towards Dragonfire Adept, so I won't have 3 heads or 4 arms, I'll just be breathing fire.

On that note: which would the party rather have, a face or a know it all?

I only get 1 invocation at lv1 so I can't have both Beguiling Influence and Draconic Knowledge. I'm currently leaning towards beguiling influence, since I can pick up the other one at lv3 which is the same level I can take knowledge devotion. I'm not yet certain, however, and could go the other way or back to Totemist or something completely different.

Are Regional Feats allowed? Was looking at taking Swift and Silent.
Cityscape Web Enhancement?
I'm just going to assume Dragon Mag/Comp is out as there was no mention of it at all.
I apologise if those were explained in your "Crunch" post. I just wanted to double check that "every 3.5 book under the sun" literally meant book and was not inclusive of magazines or webpages.


Also, will this campaign have much nature stuff in it, or should I be taking Urban ACFs and variants when I can?

You're right! Fixed it and some other details as well. Is everything ok now? Thanks a lot!

I think so. You're getting the Reflex save from the Real Robot side, right?

I think I'm the only one who changed. And I did it because I thought we'd need more front line people. I think there are at least two other ranged guys and the ship captain.
That I know of, the melee guys are the kobold, my character and Kuroimaken's, so I guess it is well balanced now.

I've switched from melee to ranged, sort of. My primary offensive ability is a 15ft cone, so I'll need to be closeish to work it, and my AC is scary, in mecha form at least, so I can tank pretty well. However, I have no need for str so I won't be making any melee attacks.

So... question. Can I sneak attack with a flamer futuristic weapon from the DMG?
No, you can only sneak attack with stuff that demands attack rolls.

@Raineh Daze: That is a greatsword and a scale mail. The equipments are still WIP. And I took the liberty of creating a Greatsword out of an Assault Blade because I could not find a single two-handed weapon for Real Robots.
Any arsenal melee weapon can be wielded two-handed if you choose to, just like regular melee weapons. Trying to improvise your own weapons at this stage is not aceptable.

Hiii...

Are Regional Feats allowed? Was looking at taking Swift and Silent.
Cityscape Web Enhancement?
I'm just going to assume Dragon Mag/Comp is out as there was no mention of it at all.
I apologise if those were explained in your "Crunch" post. I just wanted to double check that "every 3.5 book under the sun" literally meant book and was not inclusive of magazines or webpages.
-One regional feat per character tops.
-What enhancment again?
-Yes, drag magazine is out by default.

Also, will this campaign have much nature stuff in it, or should I be taking Urban ACFs and variants when I can?
If by "nature" you mean alien forests and abandoned facilities, sure, it will have plenty of nature stuff. :p

Honestly, I would strongly advise not taking Weapon Focus with a Real Robot. Apart from the fact you're basically asking for 'weapon focus: one-handed blades', the class is pretty much built around upgrading, replacing, and swapping parts out. You're pretty much shooting yourself in the foot by taking a class that goes in for modularity and then restricting yourself like that.  :-\


It works better with Super Robots, honestly (Main Weapon, upgrade that, focus on pimping the mecha and using the one weapon).
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Concerned Ninja Citizen on April 30, 2013, 07:56:27 AM
Weapon Focus is very rarely worth taking as a feat in any situation. There are other, better, sources of attack bonuses if that's what you need.

If you want to go TWF with a Real Robot, my recommendation would be to take one plasma sword and one steel knife. The knife has the defensive property, which lets you use it as an immediate action. So attack with the plasma sword on your turn, and the knife on your opponent's turn. Two attacks with no need for the TWF feat and no attack penalty.

I didn't say I was going to take it. I asked because, if he considered that weapon a longsword, I might consider focusing on that kind of weapon.
I thought about building a Super Robot, but there's no way a Super be as effective as a Real Robot in early levels as a melee unit. If I spend all upgrade points in plating and agility, I'll have an AC of 16 + DEX modifier. And I'll have two low-damage attacks. With a Real Robot my AC can start at 18 + DEX and have better damaging weapons.

Weapon Focus is very rarely worth taking as a feat in any situation. There are other, better, sources of attack bonuses if that's what you need.

So attack with the plasma sword on your turn, and the knife on your opponent's turn. Two attacks with no need for the TWF feat and no attack penalty.

You say Weapon Specialization is not a good deal?
I agree with the Steel Knife part, but with the TWF feat I can attack twice on my turn and once on the enemy's turn. With all those attacks, I can mitigate the low damage output due to low STR. I know that -2 to both attacks is a pain in lower levels, but I want to have the option of using both or one of the weapons in combat. If it's hard to hit an enemy, I'll just attack with one hand to increase the odds.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Raineh Daze on April 30, 2013, 12:41:32 PM
+1 just to damage, in exchange for a pair of feats and being a particular class? Bad, bad deal.

I'm not entirely sure what point Super Robots actually start to equal Real Robots (if any), which really isn't helped by giving the small level 1 real robot a 1d12 ranged attack. And flight. And a +3 bonus to hit. And then at the high end you get a Real Robot with a 20d8 attack, more HP, more armour, more DR, and a bigger save bonus. Before you start stacking things on it. Also huge energy, and a beam coat.

... I still say something is up with the balance on that. You get to customise, but if you try and specialise you're outdone, and if you generalise, uh... that's not very Super at all.

Looking at the Arsenal, you can take these twothings, stack them on the above mecha, and still have space for that Graviton Cannon or the Neo-Chakram Caster. Oh, and you can buff energy regeneration.

(click to show/hide)

So, uh even if they don't stack, that's still a huge bunch of buffs on top of something strong to start with. :/

Both feats total +1 to attack and +2 to damage. For a two-weapon fighter that gives up his STR for DEX, a +2 to damage can easely compensate it. And, in the future, with two more feats he can get +2 to attack and +4 to damage. I think it is worth it.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Raineh Daze on April 30, 2013, 01:27:20 PM
You've also taken a penalty to your attack by using two weapons, which isn't compensated for by the weapon focus (especially because, unless they're both 'light' weapons, the penalty is bigger), and whilst that SHOULD increase damage output, you've got the strength penalty, loss of the extra 0.5x strength to your damage, and the weapons do less damage individually (though, in this case, there's a distinct lack of two-handed weapons). So, in short, you basically spend four feats (and three more if you want another off-hand attack to have the same potential damage) to not even catch up before adding in bonuses that said two-handed fighter could be receiving. See the problem?
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Nanshork on April 30, 2013, 02:06:10 PM
Attacking with two-weapons is only a good option if you have a source of bonus damage dice like sneak attack.  Otherwise Power Attacking with a two-handed weapon is going to do significantly more damage with a higher chance of hitting.

Use a one-handed sword, wield it two-handed, and have a shield (because mecha shields are bolted to your arm)? No dexterity dependency, another 0.5x strength damage. Or, as someone said, take the steel knife/assault blade combo (which still works with the shield).
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Kuroimaken on April 30, 2013, 04:20:39 PM
TWF works best with a source of extra damage applicable to EACH attack (in which case attack number is a force of multiplication) and/or something that allows you to get a LOT more extra attacks per weapon wielded. Otherwise... Typically not worth it.

Speaking of which, I need another plot, since it doesn't make much sense the lv1 party going to Ragol when they've specifically requested the 12th level party to do it.

My plan for the Low-End starting fluff would be something along the lines of:
-In Parum, after the Devastation war Bioplants were created to try to build up the planet's fauna and flora.
-Recently, something has gone wrong in one of those plants and it starts crancking up lesser biomonsters in auto mode.
-Android Administration doesn't want a ruckus to be raised over this, so they isolate the place and send in some low-profile people (you) to take care of it.

How does it sound?

Why do you have dodge? Is it a prereq for something? If not, it's probably not worth having.

Battle Jump (http://dndtools.eu/feats/unapproachable-east--33/battle-jump--187/) may be a solid choice depending on whether you can activate it with mecha flight.

If you're planning to go for either Dungeon Crasher next level or Shock Trooper if we get that far, Improved Bull Rush is a possibility.

Post by: Concerned Ninja Citizen on May 01, 2013, 09:37:35 PM
The reason the Fly and Levitate spells are called out specifically is that they magically hold you up. You can't choose to fall while under the effect of those spells without dismissing the spell.

A creature with wings, on the other hand, can fold its wings and effectively stop flying and start falling.

Given that mecha flight is accomplished by thrusters that can be turned off (and turn off automatically at the end of movement unless you have an upgrade/ type of robot that has a full flight speed) they would seem to fall into the latter category and not the former.

On the RAW side, "effect" in that context is referencing flight as an SLA or supernatural ability. It's not trying to say that all flight is the same as a fly spell.

However, this DM ruling territory and it won't even matter unless Scout89 decides he wants to take the feat so let's table this discussion for now.

The casters are also really fragile and at lv1 everyone is fragile.

Versatility wise, I'd probably go Real. Arsenal is a major source of versatility and you get quite a bit of it from a lv1 real robot. It does make the background a little more difficult to figure out but it works much better mechanically.

That's where the "mess" part comes in. As written it lets you perform a charge (a full round action) without spending an action at all. You could potentially full attack, then use some form of swift action movement (Travel Devotion springs to mind) to get in a position to activate Battle jump, and then full attack again using pounce. This can be accomplished at lv1 with flaws and is kinda silly.

But it's not like there isn't precedent for it (performing actions for free, lessening costs etc.). Besides, it requires you to invest significantly in mobility to really shine (you need pounce to full attack on a charge, and you can't actually FALL if you don't have any movement left in a round).

Question. How long have we known one another?

It may be that I'm jet lagged, tired, need to sleep and whatnot but what will leather armour and a longbow be refluffed to? I wasn't sure if there was a refluff thread that outlined this :(



One last disclaimer: As this is my first PbP and I'm still new to this game (please, stifle the groans :P) I would appreciate any constructive criticism you guys have got.

Again, no one else did. This is a fast-paced campaign. We can't just sit around waiting for someone to post. And your character's introduction never pointed out that you were in charge of anything. I thought there was no one in charge. But that's enough discussion. This matter should be resolved IC.

So I got the wrong idea about the campaign. Appologies for that. I'll slow down. But bear in mind, there was no description of the hierarchy in this group. And Bagra never pressed things. Everything he was spoke were only suggestions. Re-read my posts and you'll notice that.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Raineh Daze on May 07, 2013, 04:03:30 PM
That's because, as such, there is no pre-defined hierarchy; characters have their own opinions on such things. That he started offering suggestions to everybody (and not just as friendly advice, more a 'this is what you should do' sort of way) is how he placed himself in command.

Do you guys think it's worth getting Able Learner as a feat?
The only cross class skill I currently have is Balance, and I'm probably only going to put 10 ranks in it. I'll multiclass into Scout for a few levels, but that has all of the skills I really want to level.

Also, what do you think of Escape Artist? Or should I cleric dip and some point in time or get an item?
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Concerned Ninja Citizen on May 08, 2013, 03:58:51 AM
Why 10 ranks in Balance? 5, so you're not flat footed is the typical number.

Escape Artist is one of those skills that's nice when you need it but "when you need it" covers few enough situations that it's rarely worth the investment. It is also exceptionally easily replicated by various spells and items and also by having a buddy around to get you out of whatever you're trying to escape from (cut your bonds, kill the guy who's grappling you, etc)

Your skills look solid as they are to me. I would say Able Learner isn't really necessary just for balance (Martial Study in an appropriate discipline will get you balance as a class skill + a maneuver.) In fact, if it were me building the character I might ditch balance altogether (either live without it or wait until you take Scout levels to raise it) and put the skill points into knowledges or maybe sense motive since your wis is decent (all of which are class skills via Real Pilot.)

As far as Balance goes I meant 5 ranks (10 skill points w/out Able Learner)

Divine Forces follow philosophies and ways of life (Radha Bairaban, the Divine Pilot, is a fervant Yoga teacher). Divine magic users worshiping named entities are much more likely to be up to no good. Altough even then exceptions exist, with mechanical "gods" protecting certain populations, leting a chosen pilot to command them into battle. But if your god doesn't show his face in the open, then most factions won't be must trustworthy of them.

The Phantasy Star universe has no known deities of pretty much any sort. Even in Universe, where religion seemed to be a driving force in Neudaiz, the whole thing seemed a lot more reminiscent of druid-like nature worship in Shinto clothing.

Launcher Pad[Ship Captain]:Fast-opening docks and magnetic catapults allow for quickly retrieving allied machines, while allowing to send them into the fray with a boost. Entering or exiting the ship is now a free action for other mechas, but they can only exit 1 round after entering. In addition when a mecha exits the ship, all of its movement speeds are doubled for 1 round.

I assume that's based on coordinating other people, or just for the sake of PbP expediency - things get a LOT faster if you base turns on a sequence of "players > DM > players > DM" instead of "Tom > John > DM >Rick > DM again > Bob > DM > DM > Jesus, Mary and Joseph". In the latter case we always end up "okay, who's supposed to go after <Player X>?"

In Oslecamo's games initiative only matters to determine which side goes first in a turn. Otherwise characters act in the order that their players post. This is to prevent the game stalling if the guy with the best init can't log on for a day or so.

Ready Action: firing the beam cannon against the first Buzzer to come within 200 MU of the ship (I'm having a bit of trouble counting the squares, so I'm not entirely certain none are within that area ^^;), area attack so that if multiple creatures can be attacked, they will be.

By my count they're just out of your range. 200mu is 40 squares which ends at row K.

However, I think mecha weapons ranges are range increments, not max ranges. If that is the case, you could fire the cannon now by taking a -2 range penalty. You couldn't hit more than 1 of the buzzers at once, though, so  it might be better to wait.

Well, given the choice, he'd either stand on the Illustrious or hover nearby as much as he could. Someone's gotta stick close to the plating in case the little bastards are the kind to latch on, after all - even if in-game the ship likely has point-defense systems to prevent enemies from this kind of tactics, one shouldn't expect the ship to have to blast hostiles off its own deck.

I'm unsure as to if this works:
As a free action at the start of my turn I use Accel (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=7158.msg109860#msg109860). Do I move 15 feet/mu straight away? Or is that added to my possible movement for the turn? Is it halved if I'm hiding and want to continue hiding?
Can I then fire a heavy weapon? (the one that takes a full round to use)
After that, because I'm in the Hit and Run (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=7159.msg109861#msg109861) stance, can I then move again?

Also, this may be an idiotic question, but are my maneuvers and spirit abilities available outside of my mecha? Assumption is, currently on, that I can use them.

One more question. Does hovering, assuming you have flight capabilities in your mecha, use any energy? Or only moving?
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Concerned Ninja Citizen on May 19, 2013, 11:24:19 PM
Spirits and pilot feats work outside mecha. Maneuvers from pilot schools require energy to activate, so they don't work if you have no energy to spend (which you won't outside your mecha unless you're a moon vanguard.)

As currently written, flight only expends energy if you move.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Elevevated Beat on May 19, 2013, 11:34:50 PM
Thanks. Moved the spirit spoiler around on my character to sheet to help me remember that.

Therefore stances will only work inside mecha, too?
I've never used a character with maneuvers before. Do stances require anything to activate?
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: Concerned Ninja Citizen on May 20, 2013, 02:02:35 AM
Stances take a swift action to activate then they stay on until you exit or go into a different one.

Pilot school stances also cost energy equal to the cost of a maneuver of their level when you enter them (so they can't be used unless you have energy.) They don't take any energy to keep up once you're in the stance.

It adds to your movement speed, clarified. So you don't get a free move action out of it.

They work but they heal mecha HP, not creature HP. For the same reason you can't cast Heal on a mecha (confirmed earlier in the thread), you can't use a healing spirit to heal a non mecha.

You could use Faith or Trust to heal an allied Moon Vanguard when out of your mecha, however.

Sugestions:
-Your ship collects battlefield data and streams it to the other pilots, including video-calls holograms poping up inside the cockpits.
-Your ship uses giant laser pointers/flares to llight up the enemies.
-Considering you're a rock bard, you start up a light show during battle?

My High End character is currently using a Plain History created version of aid another to buff people. I'm fluffing it as he creates a map of the area in his head, figures out the best attack angles and strategies, and relays it to the target of the AA action. 

You get +5 on your next melee attack because of this, by the way.

My impression was that homebrew, even homebrew that would otherwise be approved, was, if not outright banned, then strongly discouraged in order to keep this game simple.

Otherwise I'd probably have gone with a homebrew class of some sort (or at least Martial Study and stance from the Breath of Fire discipline.)

I went and read that before posting, but I guess my interpretation of it and the resulting conversation was more to the "discouraged meaning please don't do it" end than yours.

Either way, not a big deal. If some amount of homebrew is ok, I'll seriously consider taking/ retraining feats for BoF maneuvers in a level or two. 

On that note, do Pilot classes count as martial adepts for the purposes of martial study? If so, does the "don't expend maneuvers, pay energy for them instead" aspect of pilot maneuvers apply to maneuvers learned that way?

That's a connection to "movement speed" as in "how fast you are moving in a given round" but it's not a connection to movement speed, the stat, as in "how fast you are capable of moving in a single action" because a Halfling takes the same sized 5ft step as a Human.

Thinking about it, I now realize 5ft steps do have a connection to movement speed, but only on the low end. If your speed is 5ft or less, you can't take a 5ft step as a free action.

You can help by not checking my stuff too many times. Every time you open a new window with it, you eat my free bandwitch. I'll also see on cuting down unnecessary images (I guess the monster gifs aren't helping much on that matter).

The guys next to you are Aden and Cashille, and they're floating right next to your ship, thus benefiting from your leader aura.

It's the 'fully', rather than 'half' part that's weird.

Also, I have no idea if this is intentional or not, but aside from Veteran Mechanic there are no rules given for repairing partially damaged Mecha.

There are absolutely none at all given for repairing non-exploded ships. The only mention of repairing things is in the battleship writeup, and it'd be an interesting topological exercise to fit a ship inside itself for repairs. :lmao

My home internet connection decided to spontaneously combust. Posting this from a library computer. Update will probably be delayed tough.

I've had a most likely stupid idea.

  • These monsters aren't mechas, and thus are subject to the penalties associated with fighting smaller opponents.
  • When a mecha is sufficiently damaged, the pod allows you to eject "In any direction you choose.
  • It takes a lot of force to launch the escape pod.
  • Alexia has Veteran Mechanic and can fix totalled mechs.
  • Therefore, it is tactically sound for Shatterscale to provoke an attack of opportunity, launch the escape pod into the ant's smugass face, and attack it from where its jaws can't reach.

Thoughts?
Rule of cool says you can. However you won't be able to use your mecha for the rest of this battle, and there's a nonzero chance you'll still be facing one group of giant monsters before geting into the bioplant.

Hey Osle do I not get my Dex bonus to damage? (Assuming that +1 was for Point Blank Shot)
You have any special ability for that? Regular bows/guns don't get Dex bonus to damage rolls in D&D.

Anyone object to doing the long about way to the central control room? (IE following Shatterscale) Just eyeballing it, it's not really that much further along. We could catch the ceiling blob on the left side, kill it, then make it round to the right side one and not be far behind (maybe even cut it off depending on our speed).

This is assuming we want to do a quick sweep and turn it all off before hobo looting the place (or will it explode? duh duh duhhhh)

I don't object, we just gotta watch out for nasty surprises along the way. Those things were created inside the place, so it should be no surprise we find a few more lurking in siderooms and stuff.

Right, so priorities for alchemical item production after the mission:

#2: Shapesand. Easy enough to refluff as a a sort of nanobot-based omnitool.
#3: Stuff to resist poison.

Anything to add?

Updating the turn, and two things for you to take in mind:

Alexia's Bardic music-Half of you aren't adding the bonus to attack and damage. Trust me, it makes a difference.

Entangled-Gives a -2 penalty on attack rolls.

So far I've been double checking everybody's character sheets to see if you're taking account those bonus/penalties. Next round I'll just check the penalties.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.

Yep, definitely forgot about the entangled penalty. Thanks for the catch.

It wasn't really that clear to me.

@oslecamo: The web is still on Bagra damaging and poisoning him? But he spent a turn (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=9918.msg191747#msg191747) removing it with his sword.
Title: Re: Low-End OOC thread.
Post by: oslecamo on October 01, 2013, 06:17:46 PM
The web isn't poisoning you (the Hit Tails are), but if you had sucessfully cut it, then that last Hit Tail missed you, so you don't take damage or have to worry about poison this turn. Sorry for having missed that.

Well, I was expecting Vail to be burning piled monsters up in the previous rounds, and Antares to don't be power attacking when his chainsword auto-kills those bugs even if he rolls just 1s for damage.

But even then you're managing to kill them faster than they're spawning. 6 bugs last turn, 5 now, and that's with two players and one allied NPC missing.

EDIT: Anyway you really shouldn't be staying on the same place. Those supplies aren't marked down for nothing.

Quote from: entangled condition
The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls and a -4 penalty to Dexterity.

As I pointed out in the respective IC post (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=9918.msg191982#msg191982), the hit tail silk strings just make you move at half speed, they aren't locking you into place because they aren't anchored to any immobile object.

Question.

If I pull the machinegun out, do I get to shoot at more than one target at a time?

Hmm, I guess tecnically speaking, it's still a mecha-scale weapon because android doesn't say otherwise, and thus you could use the option to shoot everything in a 5-mu square (aka 30 feet square). If the other players don't mind, I'll allow it the way it's written right now.

Sorry about not posting, more family troubles.

Anyway, I think Shatterscale could stand for a Monomate and the armor. Anyone else want it?

Even if it would be hilarious to see a kobold trying to fire the pistol and getting shot across the room, I'll pass on it.

I'm afraid you'll need something that deals actual fire damage. Nobody brought sci-fi torches or tinder twigs? I'll let you retroactively buy some, it's the kind of thing administration agents are expected to carry around.

Post by: oslecamo on December 02, 2013, 05:45:18 AM
Monsters eat humanoids whole, and humanoids usually carry money. The money is indeed nigh-indestructible, thus it acumulates inside the monster's body as it noms more humanoids.

Which would imply you're not the first humanoids to have arrived here since the biomonsters showed up.

Dun-dun-dun!

Well, Antares is a sargeant, so unless he's going for insurbodination, you can override him because of higher rank.

Altough Shatterscale was also voting for "let's loot the place instead", so I guess that's two votes against one as well.

Can I fire off my built-in minigun at point-blank range so Mr. Big Bug learns never to fuck around with an android again?

Sure, I'll let it count as  a natural weapon for grapple purposes.

So no AoO? Nice!

I hope he doesn't bleed acid.

Attack Roll- not sure about penalties, firing at a grappling target, but target is using Reach to grapple.
Rolled 1d20+3 : 19 + 3, total 22


Attack Damage: Unsure about Sneak Attack in this scenario.
Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2

For clarification: the rolling thread was being REALLY WEIRD and wouldn't take my post.

Well, if Raineh doesn't say otherwise, I'll assume the captain keeps singing and update tommorrow.

Actually, I don't think I am singing, because I had to stop to talk. >_>;

It's just that I have absolutely crap attack values and my hands full with the map. -_-'

What was I doing with Alexia... hmm.

Still far too low a level for picking up Words of Creation, so that's not it. XD

Tempted to pick up Funnels, since they'd at least mean I'm consistently damaging things and I don't have any other use for a swift action.

Ah! Born to Fight and... something.

EDIT: Er, Os, I just noticed something. At level 2, the only Spirit I can take (and use) is Accel, and I'm not sure if I can take something that I couldn't use. (Also... kind of can't afford to use any of the Ship Captain Spirits. Somehow, I'm not sure that a choice of Snipe, Alert, and Accel is in my best interests. @_@). And I don't think it's even possible to get Enable and Disturbance unless you can take them when they're unusable.

That's for what I created the feat that increases your max Spirit points.

... so that a Ship Captain is forced to spend a feat to access any Spirit that would even be the slightest bit helpful before level five (I think)? It's not as if a one-round speed boost is going to help something that has, as its main armament, missiles and a giant beam cannon.

Also doesn't answer the question about whether it can be taken when it wouldn't be useful.

Alert is another cheap Spirit, useful for everybody.

And yes, you can pick a spirit that it's too expensive for you to use when you gain it.

So. a choice of Alert or Snipe. Not... exactly a hard choice.

Even though I get the feeling the 'restore Xd6 ally HP' would be more beneficial, I have exactly one too few Spirit for it and I also get the feeling I should pick up the medical facility stuff. XD

Sorry about dropping out.  If this game somehow stops having mechas, let me know. :p
