OCD Thread (All players)

[Woe]

I can't keep up with you otherwise!

Once again, I'm loving the rate of play. But, if you post less, I could also. I have a sometimes pretty boring job and all the materials are on my PC so if you post, I can respond, mostly.

In answer to your thing in the other thread...animating a missile to do things (extra damage, better to hit chance, aerial display) would be a new 1st spell, one you could acquire when you reach 2nd level. But there are a range of choices for that new spell.

I figured you would probably be drawn more towards turning your floating coracle into an actual levitate spell, and then eventually, a fly spell.

We'll need to sort that out later. For the time being you cannot animate someone's missiles that have just been fired.

Freya is about to go up a level.

If you want, you can play safe and 'take a 3' on your HP roll. Next level it will be a 4, for a total of 7hp over 2 levels. (That kind of deal is available any time, for any character.)

Or I can roll and you can take your chances but if I roll a 1 or a 2, you are stuck with it.

You can also adjust your thief abilities now (core rules p142), if you want, except climbing which is set. If you are going to take that option you need to do it pretty soon, otherwise your progression will be exactly as the book says.

Last chance on you background skill too. (Woodsmaid works well though I think.)

And, this is also your last chance to do things like, deciding she is actually a half-elf, or that she's been using a scimitar the whole time, or that has has a pet squirrel named Frobisher, and stuff like that.

Portrait? Go nuts!

[Woe]

With a new level, does she get a new saving throw when climbing up to visit the banshee goblin teenager who just noticed a pimple?

If you want, you can play safe

I'll play safe.

Last chance on your background skill too.

Yep! Woodsmaid for sure.

You can also adjust your thief abilities

I'll go with the optional progression on the thief abilities. +10% each on climb walls, hide, move silently.

this is also your last chance...

I like how she's been doing so far. I honestly don't know why I didn't choose longsword and longbow, but *shrug* can't really change that right now (unless you really let me -- I can always trade up if I get back to town). Full elf for sure. She does have a pet squirrel named Frobisher, but she (the squirrel) stayed back at the Moon Isles.

[Longman]

You can trade weapons for your next trip.

She'll get an extra 4hp for a total of 11.

Noted about the thief skills option.

Just doing a further review of Freya who has now gone up to level 2.

Can you work out her saves again? I think they are:

Death Ray or Poison 12
Magic Wands 12
Paralysis or Petrify 11
Dragon Breath 15
Spells 12

seem right?

Also - what happens to Freya's shield when she is climbing and stuff?

I think in many situations her AC must actually be 14. Getting the shield off her back could take a round.

[Woe]

Saves look right. And yes, she'd have the shield on her back when climbing or shooting a bow.

[Longman]

OK. I'll let her get both shield and sword as a round action. I'll try to remember that her AC is actually 14 unless she has it out.

[Woe]

I think there's something weird with encumbrance right now. I can load up Talin on the dwarf+elf and move almost as quickly as without the human. That doesn't seem to be the right outcome.

[Longman]

Do you mean in terms of the way I am moving you, or in terms of the way the maths is working out when you calculate it?
