How useful will Pinpoint Aim be (ignore my size mod to attack if negative and my opponent's size mod to AC is positive)? I'm obviously medium, so that part won't matter. It would be nice to swap that out for Extra Trick: Oh, Were You Walking There? / Stay Riiiight There. (I realized that Called Shot doesn't matter so much. Aim damage isn't multiplied since its bonus damage, and Grappling or Tripping and opponent even for just one round could make a HUGE difference.)

Pinpoint Aim is unlikely to be of much use. I don't think we'll be fighting anything smaller than us that might need such special tricks.

Nemean Lion--lion sized or bigger
Hydra--big, big thing
Chimaera--ditto.

Hell, smallest thing is probably Medusa.

That's kinda what I figured. So... grappling or tripping?

Hydra--big, big, big, big thing
Chimera--ditto. (actually only large)

Typhon- Colossal +++++++

Hell, smallest thing is probably Medusa. (medium)

Up to you in that choice.

Character building. I keep running into problems, when I even get around to trying.

Anything any of us can help you with?



Sorry I haven't been on much this week, it's been a busy week. I swear I'll be more active soon.

I have continued to produce random ideas even though I basically have a complete character. Accursed brain. :shakefist

Nord Blade//Deathjack or Nord Blade//Zodar to basically have something akin to Talos, only smaller, and somehow linked to the Moirai.

Or Nord Blade//Gambler for maximum mindscrew and luck.

Talos, only smaller
Talos has his height given as being comparative to modern measurements as being anything from 2 meters in height up to 15 meters.
Bigger than normal men, but how much bigger is pretty vague.
Also, variances as to whether he was winged or not.


That's one of the main things I need to do. Write up all of the variances that I am using.

Like: Cheiron not sacrificing himself and helping free Prometheus during the labor of the boar, all of which was a late addition to the tale added by later writers, and it conflicts with too many other things in the mythos; Herakles vs the lion, it was defeated by strangling, not by an arrow to the mouth; Hyperion is not the same as Helios, but rather Hyperion and Theia are Helios' parents.

Stuff like that.

As always people, if you have any particular questions, I will be happy to answer them (especially since that forces me to do the work I want to get done).



Yeah, I keep doing the same thing with Nintendo.

I do it with everything. This is beginning to be something of an issue. :lmao

Especially because 'write up the apparent embodiment of ignoring fate' is so tempting. XD

Just as a recommendation, you might want to find some ways of spending your remaining starting wealth.
I realize you can't use magic gear, and a lot of status-inducers are next thing to useless to you, but there are still other useful mundane and Pure Metal items.

Powdered Mythril, for example, can be used to end enchantments.
Ending compulsions might be a good way to save your ship.  :smirk

Also, some creatures, like Stheno, are immortal, and would need to be bound. Pure Adamantine, Pure Mythril, Pure Cold Iron, Pure Silver, Alloy Shackles (or multiples thereof), can't hurt.

And Samwise would be agitated if you forgot the rope.

So, on getting this underway:
FitS, what all else is WIP? I see neither description nor background, but it looks like the mechanics are done.
R_D, decisions on remaining Dracs would be nice  :)

SirP & CNC, GtG.  :thumb

Opening scene goes up next Saturday.

I just posted an updated sheet, with several minor updates and changes that had been pending. I have 8,310 dracs remaining. Any suggestions?
