Strangers OOC Thread & Lurker Lounge

[samwise7]

A few things I must have missed when I read over the OOC thread before.

1) I don't believe you spend any Spell Points when your spell fizzles.

2) I think Ceillen wants to bash one of the tenticle things, but he still needs to roll.  Also do you want to attack the creature that is attacking you, or do you want to attack the creature that is attacking Ewyn?

3) Ewyn's Results:

If tendril is around arm holding baton -- cast Empty Hand again, at the tendril holding me, roll was 28, the creature's defense is 20.

Libram Novus #4 -- basically is similar to the Astral Bolt (4 points of Base Damage (no stat mod to Base Damage) + 1 point for each point over foe's DEF), but it can also be cast in a Cone form (which I did not do - hehe). Since the CTN is only 16, that means that Ewyn would have earned a Casting Boon Point as well, which he would use to "Double Numerical Effect" (which would mean 8 points Base Damage, instead of 4 -- Scaled Damage would remain as per normal).

So you will deal 12 damage to the creature, plus 4 more damage for the Double Numerical Effect for a total of 16 damage to it.


I will wait for Ceillen's roll and then post this round's results.

1) I don't believe you spend any Spell Points when your spell fizzles.

Actually, in going back and looking at the rules, it doesn't actually specify either way. I think that I will post a thread to discuss this more fully and then decide upon what sort of clarification/FAQ/Errata might be needed...

Well for this game (and my opinion on it) I don't think fizzled spells should use up any Spell Points.

You are the GM. As you can see in my post on this, I tend to favor "failure = no SP cost, unless you earn Snag Points"

Oops, somehow I have missed the second creature point. I thought it was the same mass of tentacles attacking the both of us.

Here is my roll for a final attempt at nuclear blast astral bolt.

BTW, I think spellcasting should always cost something (1 SP). But Ceillen is a very independent fellow and does not seem to agree with me.  Fidoric Sr. Member Posts: 483 Karma: +0/-0 Strangers OOC Thread & Lurker Lounge Ouch ! The adjustment is missing but even with a +7 it is a meager total of +2... More than enough to earn me another snag... So if my count is right, this is my second snag and I have spend a total of 2 SP out of my total pool. Please, anyone of you, kick my ass next time I make anything but a good old fighter ! samwise7 Newbie Posts: 5 Karma: +0/-0 Strangers OOC Thread & Lurker Lounge Sunwolf Newbie Posts: 0 Karma: +0/-0 Strangers OOC Thread & Lurker Lounge I hear you are looking for more players. What do you need to know about me to decide if I would fit in your group and what do I need to know about your Group to decide if it would work for me? samwise7 Newbie Posts: 5 Karma: +0/-0 Strangers OOC Thread & Lurker Lounge Yes we are looking for some new players.  The idea of the game is that a bunch of characters show up in a strange place via a portal and it is definitely a different place than where they came from (a different setting).  Some of their memories like their names and things dealing with your past and your class abilities are slowly starting to re-emerge.  Your characters don't know this yet, but the setting will turn up the weird factor somewhat and it will also be a "hexcrawl" so one hex at a time will be revealed at a time on the map thread. This is an opportunity to try out the system if you haven't yet. Sunwolf Newbie Posts: 0 Karma: +0/-0 Strangers OOC Thread & Lurker Lounge Sounds fascinating, how do I create a character, or do you create it and I figure out more about the character as my memory returns? samwise7 Newbie Posts: 5 Karma: +0/-0 Strangers OOC Thread & Lurker Lounge I've been using Int Saves to have your character remember things about his or her past.  So you remember how to use your class abilities and such but you don't remember who taught you them, or where you learned them for instance.  You can make an Int Save to remember your name right off of the bat though. One more thing, everyone has a loyal retainer / servant / torch bearer, etc.  If you mistreat this guy too much he may rebel, but I've told everyone that they can role-play them out themselves.  The two players that have been posting have just left their retainers out with their strange mounts, but I suggest keep the retainer with you.  Sunwolf Newbie Posts: 0 Karma: +0/-0 Strangers OOC Thread & Lurker Lounge Thinking I may create a Druid or Ranger type, but not positive yet.  Should have a character done by the weekend, possibly sooner imported_Rasyr Guest Strangers OOC Thread & Lurker Lounge Great!

Yes we are looking for some new players.  The idea of the game is that a bunch of characters show up in a strange place via a portal and it is definitely a different place than where they came from (a different setting).  Some of their memories like their names and things dealing with your past and your class abilities are slowly starting to re-emerge.
