That's really annoying, I would have thought they'd implement it. I'm still a couple of months away from being happy with my world so maybe they might have it by then....
Wow that escalated quickly, I can’t say that I don’t really understand the reasons why Flolki was so upset and so quickly with Val, but that’s what you get when dealing with raging barbarians I guess...
Also please teke into account that the rudness and air of superiority of Valwarin cames from his peculiar way of seeing the world. He is blunt speaking his mind as it should have been clear for now. Also he is doing what he believes is the right thing. Keep in mind that he has spoke to the animals and is just trasmiting their message, not trying to impose his own way of thinking. He is not saying that they should free all of them, as the wyvern doesn’t want to, and he is willing to pay for them as if he was buying them to do his bidding with them. It’s understandable that the ringmaster gets upset as he is ultimately judging, and even giving him proof, that he is not doing things.. quite right, but I still don’t get Folkils reaction for this is not his clan nor his friends...
Yeah sorry that hit quick and hard. his reaction is nothing to do with the animals. I'm afraid Val said something's that automatically trigger Folki, I didn't really want to escalate it but I couldn't see him not reacting as he did
Well it really had to be next to bullseye, for Val said literally nothing to Flolki to make him jump at him that way... I guess that is really explained by Flolki history... But I think that we shouldn’t do more “rounds” until the GM says something...
For now you had depraved your friend of magical healing... :)
No I think folki will storm off as Val is lieing in the ground , before he heals himself. And yeah, dead on centre of the target :) btw with the rage, I am RPing it that it is a literal rage. I don't enjoy it just being a mechanic that can be turned on and off. It has to be triggered for me to apply it and while raging Folki will make irrational and snap decisions
That’s a nice way to rpg it. I see it more that way but that they still had enough control of it to not going attacking allies in a combat situation... this is going to be interesting though... :)
Also, I should mention that Cyrus is running after Folki because he was promised that his wing wound be fixed up by the Cleric. "Hey, wait for me! I'm coming with you!"
Okay, Cyrus' reaction here is actually what I did in a particularly annoying situation. In case nobody cares because the story is kinda long and isn't really all that interesting, I'm spoilering it to be less obnoxious.
So, I graduated high school very recently and this story is from my last year in high school.
In my country school buses, like most people know them, aren't common. What we do have is: almost every school either has like 10 cheap minivans or a different kind of vehicle all together (see pics) which they either own or they have rented (depending on the schools financial policies) for giving student an easy way to get from home to school and back. So my High school was a bit far from my house so I used one of the School minivans. Me and my friend were the only two guys in the van while the remaining 3 students were girls. Let's call my friend Musk and the three girls June, Trig and Brit. Trig was a year younger than the rest of us.
It was Trig's birthday and Musk had this huge crush on her but he was to shy to come out and say it. So, he thought he'd get on her good side by treating her and everyone else to whatever food she wanted to eat. Now, June declined because she had a date with her boyfriend and she got off early so it was just me, Musk, Trig and Brit. In hindsight, I should have probably gotten off early too because what I didn't know at the time was Trig was a drama queen. What's worse, Brit was also a drama queen. And here I was stuck between two drama queens.
Musk said that he wants to treat everyone and since it's Trig's birthday, he wants her to pick. However, this led to the events and the conversation (paraphrased) I'm about write to transpire. Musk asked Trig, "So, what do you want to eat?""Oh nothing in particular. I can eat whatever." "How about some pizza?" "No, I don't want pizza." "How about some Tacos?*" "No, I don't like Tacos." "What about a burger and a coffee?" "I can go for a coffee." "Okay what about a burger?" "No burgers I'm not feeling it." "Then what will you have besides coffee?" "I don't know. I can eat whatever." (Me in my head: I regret my life choices. Mistakes were made.)"How about a grilled chicken?" At this point, Brit, who was being pouty for no reason that I can discern chimes in, "I love grilled chicken! Let's go!"
At this point, the minivan had gotten close enough to my place for me to get off and walk 30 minutes to it. I was thinking of doing that but I looked at Musk and whispered to him, "I'm not really that hungry. Should I just get off here?" to which he replied, "No man, it would get kinda awkward alone. I need you here to be my wing-man." So, even though I've been in the minivan for an hour and a half a this point, I decided to stay longer. I watched the car make a U-turn and head to a good restaurant Musk new about that sold grilled chickens. Keep in mind that Dhaka City (where I live) has one of the worst traffic problems in the history of the universe. So I was questioning my choice but I told myself that it would've been a dick move to leave Musk alone with the two drama queens.
So we went to the restaurant; enjoyed some delicious grilled chicken; and went home, albeit a bit later than usual, right? Oh how I wish that was the case. After trudging through traffic, we finally got near the restaurant in question and then Trig goes, "Oh, I don't like this restaurant. Do you know a different one." (Fml.gif). The minivan driver knew of a good restaurant and we turned the vehicle around and headed to that. After trudging through more traffic, when we got near that Trig opens her mouth and says, "You know, I don't really want to eat grilled chicken." (*****wat.mp3) "No, I want grilled chicken," says Brit. "Then you guys go and I'll just stay here." "We can't eat a birthday treat without the birthday girl. What do you want to eat?" Brit butts in, "We'll have grilled chicken. Come with us. If you start eating, you'll enjoy it." "No, I dislike grilled chicken. I want Spaghetti instead." "Okay, we'll have spaghetti." "No I want grilled chicken!" Brit pouts. "Fine! Fine! You can have grilled chicken. I know a place where we can get both." And so we begin our trek through trafficanew.
Luckily, this place happened to be a lot closer to my house so at least I won't have to sit in the minivan for another bazillion hours after eating. When we finally got close to it, Brit says, "Wait, we're going to that restaurant!? I hate it! It sells shitty grilled chicken. I'm not going to eat here." "I don't feel like going anywhere else. If we don't it here, I'm going to get off and go home." At this point the two veryelegant ladies begin full on bickering. I think Musk finally had enough and decided it wasn't worth it because he interrupted their bickering by shouting, "**** it!" before opening the door and jumping off the moving vehicle. Seeing this, I went "Hey wait for me! I'm coming with you!" and jumped off the moving vehicle after him.
Now, you may be saying, Zulk, don't you think the two of you over-reacted a bit? To that I say, these guys didn't remain quiet while traveling all over the place in search of the illusive perfect restaurant. Trig and Brit were low key arguing through out all of it while I was forced to sit 3 hours in traffic listening to them drone on and on. When it finally devolved into full on bickering, Musk lost it and jumped out.
Well, that's my long and boring story.
*We don't really have Tacos here so what he actually suggested was a popular local food called Shawarma but I just said Tacos to keep the story flowing.
That’s a nice way to rpg it. I see it more that way but that they still had enough control of it to not going attacking allies in a combat situation... this is going to be interesting though... :)
It's not that he attacked Val just because he was raging, Val was the one who triggered the rage so it makes perfect sense for him to direct it at Val. If Folki was any other class with the same character he would have done exactly the same
Hey, could all of you to state your "default attack mode"? What I mean by that is, when your character drops an enemy to 0 HP (but not negative max HP), would they normally try to knock them out or outright kill them? In this way, unless you state otherwise in a situation, your character will always knock someone out or kill them.
i'd like to think that Gym simply knocks things out, provided they're humanoid. He doesn't have much qualm about killing otherwise.

So, I'm going to set Gym's default to Kill (There's more non-humanoid monsters than humanoid ones). When you get into an encounter, be sure to tell me if you wish to knock your enemy out for the duration of that battle (or which enemies you want to knock out) on your first turn.
More Lore stuff: This is not very significant in the campaign itself but since it deviates from the normal DnD lore, I thought I'd mention it here and also add it to the Lore Stuff section in the campaign page. I also fixed some typos (There should be 17 known realms instead of 16)
The 4th Hell is called Phlegethos because the river Phlegethon originates from this realm. The ruler of this realm is Fierna. It has been confirmed that Fierna is the daughter of an Archfiend called Belial. However, there is no other documentation of Belial which leads scholars to believe that he rules over one of the Unmarked Hells. This is the only one of the known Hells which have gargoyles in it.
I've not been able to find an official way to have access to spell points. Best way would be to use a houserules item with charges.

Well.. not exactly the same, without the +2 to damage XD
I am impatient to learn what was he said they provoke him such rage in such short time.

I see what you did there ;-)

Elsara's a knock-out sort of person.
Gendan's default is kill.
