Changing Synthesis: Weapons to Synthesis: Alchemy.

[Anastasia]

Righto. Goes without incident.

Congratulations, you've unlocked a helper!

Helpers are NPCs who travel with you and fulfill a specific purpose in and/or out of battle. This is expressed by several different functions.

Ebenezer

Lore: On request, Ebenezer can make a 2d6+5 lore (monsters) or lore (magic) check about a matter at hand.
Chemist: Ebenezer can carry up to 10 items on his person. At the end of a round of battle, he may use an item on request.
Fire Support: At the end of a round, Ebenzer can be called on to cast a powerful fire spell. This deals 2d6+50 points of fire damage to a single target but disables him for the rest of the day. His various functions cannot be used until he gets a night's rest.

Inventory: Empty

Edit for clarity: If you want to give him items, post about it in the item thread.

Posting about retraining: Santos will want to retrain Chambara (ability gives +1 avd for fighting humanoids and swarms. We've faced all of one of those).

Question is if I should retrain to ninja ability (since Chambara is one), or to warrior (since that's what Santos is now). I figured it'd be a ninja ability, but I wanted to clarify and make sure.

[Anastasia]

That would be correct. Whatever you retrain it into, it would need to be a ninja ability.

Out of curiosity, could you look through the Blue Magic available and see if there might be something to be done about making some of them not as reliant on PWR? I realize it's a selfish request, but I figure I'd ask since it seems like most of the offense skills are just useless at the moment.

[Anastasia]

Yeah, you're in a weird-ass situation with them.

I'll probably do something about this since it's crippling, in the same way limited spell choices was crippling to casters and variety. I'm not sure quite what yet, I'm waiting for Blue Magic to get a bit more use in game first.

Iddy, when does your Monday class end?

Iddy, when does your Monday class end?

Umm.. July 29th, I think.

[Anastasia]

Okay thanks.

I'll probably want to switch days once that's done, so keep that in mind, y'all. More on this as we get through July.

[Merc]

Santos is switching Chambara for Beso Toxico.

On a different note for switching days: They've recently changed my work schedule from the 9-80 schedule (every other friday is off), to a 4x10 schedule (all fridays off). Since I'm working longer hours, I'd be getting home later, meaning I'd have less time to game during weekdays. I'm okay with people starting without me, or if we have shorter sessions, but fair warning in advance there.

[Anastasia]

Okay, thanks for the heads up. We'll sort out scheduling issues come later in the month.

What's Beso Toxico do?

[Merc]

Get spellburst:virus on all my weapons (if they're non-improbable), and can cast Hex as a slow action for no MP.

[Anastasia]

You do notice Hex says that it only works on humanoids, right? (I think this is sorta dumb, incidentally.)
