yeah traps are going to be a problem. not to worried tho im sure the DM will be looking at that, not sure we need a whole lot more on casters.
we have a dread necromancer, i am going into suel arcanamach so we have an anticaster caster, and we have a bard and a spirit shaman if i remember correctly so we should have everything covered
Once I get the DN underway a bit more, traps can be handled via skeleton minions and IRON HEART SURGE!!!!!!!!!!!  I guess traps can be handled that way. I always wonder why traps are assumed to be immediately lethal though. What if it's the sort of trap that when triggered, causes bad stuff to happen (like reinforcements/alerting the big bads/majorly changing the dungeon environment)? Oh wait. I should stop giving people ideas. |

Like I would ever use a lot of traps against a group that can't do anything about it.  Ok I have a headcount of 7 who have posted in the dining hall, so once the last person checks in there i'll move it along, but feel free to talk among yourselves. |

Unless you say otherwise Arcanis I going with the idea that Tosc does not overtly look undead. He has maintained most his mass and form through his transformation so he does not appear all skeletal or skin and bones like the pic in the book. His appearance did change in that his hair turned pure white and his complexion has become very pale. To the touch he will of course in most cases have a temperature commensurate to his environment and of course the very observant may notice that he is not breathing. Due to his temperature he often wears gloves in social situations.
So basically he is not going out of his way to hide his nature as it is not very obvious to most but those with the knowledge certainly may recognize his undead state with a knowledge check you find appropriate.

I would more likely have it be an untrained disguise check by you vs his spot to notice such things. It depends how well you cover up the little things as to how noticeable they would be.

Sounds good. At this time Tosc is not going anything to hide the little signs like pretending to breath or other.
Besides, probably about as good a place as any for the group to learn of my nature.

So any who may be paying attention to Tosc may roll spot to notice that he is indeed a dead man walking.
Hallack if anyone takes up the spot check just roll 1 disguise to see how you did today.

How about this then. Knowing that his state can often cause a ruckus and probably shortly after turning having it done so he will Take 20 each day to avoid startling the natives.
At such times where time is not possible can we assume a Take 10?
Edit: Nevermind the Take 20 as standard practice unless it will carry for extended amount of time. As it would be 20 x (1d3×10 minutes of work)

I was going to assume 10 when you didn't state you had done it. 20 would take from 3hrs 20min to 10hrs to do. Disguise has a variable action time of 1d3x10 min.

Just as a heads up for you guys. Expect the game to either drag a lot or be inactive the week of Valentine's day. We are currently penciled in for my daughter's surgery that week, waiting on a fax from local cardiologist for them to solidify the date, and I may or may not have internet access through that time.

Just wanted to check what color's left for my speech and if my character sheet needs something more. Oh, also, before I forget. Current vestige: Naberius. Binding Check: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2840371/Fail. So, I'm in love with my own voice and how clever I sound. Must talk for 3 rounds about anything whenever I happen to be invited onto a stage or similar. Not in normal discussions, however. Current Pact Augmentation: +1 Insight to Saves. |

the most effective optimization is the one you can actually get away with.  (A group of nerds are called a murder because like crows we are anti-social, like shiny things, and often squack at each other over nothing for hours) I often have to remind people not to underrate divination. The ability to effectively metagame without actually metagaming beats the ability to set things on fire more times than not.

Keep her happy. As Jeff Foxworthy said, " If she ain't happy, you ain't happy. If she ain't happy long enough, you ain't happy and don't have half your stuff." |

I don't have to tell you guys what vestige I bound.... so there. Anyway if I get a bit to Mad Hatter on you guys just tell me. i actually like the idea of kind of a screwed up guy to quote " Alright I'll help kill the trolls, but the elf has to die first... No wait the elf is my friend, definitely the trolls first. for the DM is he wants |

Happy B day to both of you.
When you get a chance can you make a list of the party members like the DM did in the last game. It was nice to have a list (player post name, char name, class) at the start of the char description area. I like to have that up in one area while I'm posting.

Yes, the Elf must die first. ...O, no, I'm the Elf. The troll needs to die not the Elf. Just mussel the Elf.

So, I realize this should have been asked earlier, but what level of Tier-1 tech are we expected to deal with? DMM:Persisted buffs? High end polymorph tech? Simulacrum feeding circle magic? Polymorph fueled beholdermage retraining abuse? CoP chains? How optimized are these tier ones along the scale to near-TO, I suppose I am asking?

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.
Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY! They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.
Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.
Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time. I give you much fu. Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie. |

mthor:
No, I invented that name on the spot.
Just so clarify as to why I haven't posted yet, I need to know if there's something I have to add to or change with my character sheet.
Also, can I get a short list of which colors are being used?
I need to know which one's are available and which aren't.

I planned on them starting off pretty dumb but getting smarter and more TO as I feel the need to challenge the group more. If the group ever thinks i'm going too far then I can scale it back some. |
