Pub chat

[Merc]

Reminder: I can't log today's or next week's sessions as my computer at home is offline and obviously can't do so from Hawaii. Also, last week's logs ARE saved but still need to be posted.

[Anastasia]

Okay. Does anyone want to pick up logging? If not I can do it.

[Nephrite]

I can do it, just let me know If I need to format anything.

As discussed in chat at the end of the last session, I'm going to be trying some houserules regarding AVD and ACC. Each one will be given a week's time to see the impact (or multiple weeks if little/no combat occurs in a session) and then we'll try another. The point of this is to figure out what sort of rebalancing will work for us. If one we try doesn't work? No big, it's gone at the end of the session.

We'll start simple. For the next session, PCs and monsters all gain +1 AVD. We're starting simple to see how much a little more evasion tweaks with the system.

For simplicity, don't update your sheets with this, as it's only a one week rule. I'll have a reminder about it during the session.

We're going to run this another session, since last week's first battle went long and we paused early. So we'll have +1 AVD again this week.

I'm thinking about moving the HP counts for monsters out of the #dunes topic. It's slowing me down to constantly fiddle with the topic for every hit you land. Do you all mind or care? I can keep doing it or work something out if you'd prefer to keep it that way, so long as you accept slower DMing on my part.

What do you all think?

[Nephrite]

I think it's fair to move it out, we really shouldn't know anyway.

EDIT: Maybe use descriptions like "Looks like it's on its last legs!" or something if it's appropriate.

[Iron Dragoon]

Works for me.

[Soul]

Fine with me. Keep it mysterious!

[Anastasia]

We tried that this session and it worked fine. If anyone has any comments to add, feel free.

Okay, what did you all think of +1 AVD? Any changes that you noticed on your ends? I don't think it made a huge difference offhand. I think, without checking logs, that it caused a miss or two. None were battle changing.

[Soul]

I'll field this for Merc, since I feel I agree that Santos should have been able to counter all three attacks.
If it strikes three times, you should be able to counter all three.

That's how I personally feel on it.

Fair enough. Let me wait on Merc to chime in before saying anything definitive here. It's his beef, I'd like for him to have a chance to express himself before anything else.

[Nephrite]

Yeah, I didn't really notice a change. It probably impacted us more than the monsters, since I don't think any of them did miss.

[Anastasia]

Is the inventory and gil up to date?

[Nephrite]

It is now.
