Technically, a Medium Longsword is a 2H weapon for Nora'Luuu. To use a greatsword, he'd need to use both hands and his mouth as well. And he wouldn't swing it so much as throw it and follow behind.

Which would be hilarious. Not to mention Nora'luuu could use the medium breastplate as an armored tent :) So go for it!

Nora'Luuu may show interest in the mirror, because it's shiny and he's primitive. :)

A medium longsword is a one-handed weapon. As a small creature, Nora'luuu treats it as a two-handed weapon, and takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls when wielding it. See Inappropriately Sized Weapons. As such, Nora'luuu should really be using a small greatsword instead of a medium longsword, which (in addition to not having a -2 penalty on attack rolls) would deal 1d10 damage instead of 1d8.

I actually liked the 3.0 system better than 3.5 in this respect. Back then, a medium longsword was exactly the same thing mechanically as a small greatsword, and could be wielded as one with no penalty.

Cool. Someone buy this for Nora'Luuu when we get back to civilization, cause Nora'Luuu took his father's sword, and his father was so old he had a THAC0.

I think we were headed back to Silverhaven, to a library to do research.

Is anything more happening out on the road with the dead things?

We killed the baddie, and looted the bodies. What more else is there to do? :P I guess if someone is noble of heart and mind, they might bury the knight and/or find out who he is so we can notify his family, find out where he's from, or something like that. Legion is a bit... out of touch.... when it comes to nuances of good social etiquette, so I'll let someone else do that stuff. :D

And the last time Nora'Luuu ate something weird he got a tummy ache. Even though it tasted delicious...

That was Sorrel's background, right? It's been a while.
Hmm.

Yeah, Sorrel is lord Fontaine's son. I need to add my backstory to my character sheet before it gets lost to the PM box.

Should I roll a Knowledge check or something to identify the knight's crest? Nobility and Royalty, I guess?

I'll take 10 for a 15, if that's alright.

Found the backstory (thanks again, Sirp), and added it to my character sheet. I'm pretty sure I would have told everyone when we first met and/or during travel time, and if I somehow haven't it's a safe bet that I'll talk about the pertinent details when we do introductions to Nora'luuu.

I haven't posted yet because I don't know how to properly communicate that I recognize the knight as Sir Gef (see the spoiler above).

Lol.  I'm down to 5 players without her, and this campaign was intended for 6-8.

Oh, I know. Four of the five of us suddenly meet ourselves from alternate dimensions, and they (being us) are totally cool with us and want to adventure with us (being them) and solve mysteries and shit.

I'd also be interested in joining if there's room.

Do you want new arrivals to use the char gen rules in the info thread or modified ones?

Sure, since downtime in Silverhaven is happening as soon as I get around to updating, let's add dpt & cnc to the fold.  Lol.

Use those chargen rules, but start at level 2.


And for everyone else, I'm planning on being more on the ball about updating this game... it's fallen far behind as my homebrewing addiction has taken off.  :(
