[Iron Dragoon]

I'm horrible at anything that's PBP. Every time I've tried it, I've utterly failed at it.

[Anastasia]

Okay, post any questions or things you want to know here. I'll get to them in a day or two, as well as some comments of my own.

[Nephrite]

Staff of the Marsh -- anything about these change?

Hi‐Potion 200g Restores 50% of a target's maximum HP Challenging (11)

Hi Potions are 200g, or 100g to Alchemize. The same items to make with Cooking at 600. Just wondering if we could get some sort of price-matching since it seems kind of silly and weird.

Can we get a price change on the auto status items? It seems weird to have them be Tier 6...

Can we use Black Market goods without being a Ninja if we make them?

[Iron Dragoon]

S&W Magi, tier 2 ranged, 1200 gil, distance plus quick cast plus special.

Special

The S&W Magi increases the damage of the wielder's spells by one step.

Is the one-step increase for offensive spells only, or does it also apply to healing type spells?

Morrie checks the staves. They don't seem different at all.

A quick check shows that Lich's final burst of power collapsed the stairway leading back up. Everything above you is gone, so you have a path straight up and out, however. You'd need to climb or manage some other shenanigans to get up and out.

Assuming it's single-target healing, that's fine.

I'm fiddling with those still. I'll get back to you.

Can we use Black Market goods without being a Ninja if we make them?

Four of them are used with a Ninja's throw command, so unless you have access to that, you can't. The fireworks and toxin can still be used normally without being a Ninja. I don't really want to diminish the ninja's innate job ability by letting its custom tricks go free. At least not cheaply, anyhow.

Any spell.

Various miscellaneous notes.

1. Merc, can you catch up with logs? They're getting behind again. Also, can you check out past logs for cut-offs? I know the most recently posted log cuts off early.

2. We've had a lot of late session starts lately. This is caused by people being late (or no-showing entirely) and it's starting to become a problem. People, could you try and not schedule things that could run over just before the session? We have one shot at this a week and I'd rather not waste it like that. I understand that shit happens sometimes, but this is getting to be a real problem.

3. The party levels up to 4! This goes as normal, make sure to post summaries of what you gain from the level up.

4. Bjomolf levels up as well. He is now level 3. In addition to the normal HP/MP/ACC/AVD recalculations, he gains +1 stat point to be distributed as Iddy sees fit. His pool for ARM/M.ARM rises by 2 points, assign these as you please. He loses his vulnerability to fire and is now neutral to it. He also gains resistance to wind. He gains counterattack(25%) for his bite. The damage of his attacks rise by one step, to 2d6+18 (barring any increase in power, which would increase it to 2d6+20).

5. Re: Shiva bitching at Lehko. I felt bad OOC about it, but I just couldn't imagine Shiva tolerating that when so much was at stake. Sorry Lehko.

6. Iddy, do you know your class schedule yet?

7. All the party (besides Penelo, but she's new so no limit break is immediately forthcoming while she learns the ropes) now a summon and their first limit break. Any comments on either of these so far? I know limit breaks haven't had a chance to come up yet. I thought Dynamite may have against Lich, since he had the damage and was weak to fire, but it didn't work out.

[Anastasia]

So y'all killed Lich. I'm rather pleased the group came in with a coherent plan and executed it well. After a few previous beatings it's good to see y'all excel. The chance of getting a Fire Stone around Ifrit was wholly designed to give you this possibility against Lich (or another fire-weak boss). The lapises (lapii?) in Pasturburg were there with hints that you'd want them. They were the key to fighting a slower battle against Lich form 2, since otherwise he'd bowl you over with pure offense.

It's a shame that Quickening's HP cost finally caught up to Mycol. It sucks he was down for most of the boss fight, but it was due to happen sooner or later. Heavy MT damage shreds y'all up like cabbage. Speaking of that, Lich's Nuke phase was skipped entirely. Here's what you missed.

<insert after description of attack that reduced Lich below the HP trigger> Lich rears back, his voice booming, "I won't be defeated this time! Carve this sigil into the body of the rotting god!" Huge orbs of burning silver-blue energy gather all around Lich, the arcane energy surrounding him flaring into an inferno! It forms a barrier around him!

<Change if Lekho is down or Shiva is summoned right now> Shiva's voice suddenly erupts from Lehko's mouth, "This spell, it's Ultima's chant, but he's changed it! If you get hit by this, you're dead! Finish it or swap us in!"

[Nephrite]

I think it might be time for us to try and invest in some Tier 3 armor, I think the extra defensive stats on those would've saved us a bit.

[Soul]

Added Blizzara, Ice Specialization, 1 to Awareness, 1 to Escape.
Added 1 to PWR, 1 to MND. Added 2 destiny points.
HP now 76 and mp now 72.

[Nephrite]

+1 RES, +1 MND

+1 to both Synth: Alchemy and Synth: Armor, bringing them to 5.

Taking the Force of Nature ability with Auto Flight.


Do you think we could get AVD to be based on Finesse instead of DEX? I understand where they were going but it seems weird to have one stat determine something defensive like that.

[Anastasia]

What would that change the relevant formula to, Neph?

[Anastasia]

Ebenezer's Fire Support damage has risen to 2d6+60.

[Nephrite]

I'd have it be Job AVD Bonus + Finesse = AVD. It's more or less the same calculation, but it scales off of Finesse instead of off DEX, so everyone can benefit rather than just Lehko.

[Anastasia]

Let me run some numbers real quick, I'll get back to you in a day or so. If I haven't posted about it by Thursday, club me to stop slacking.

Incidentally, could you list what blue magics you know and what damage/effects they do?
