Odds and ends

[Anastasia]

Eb: Remember when you were talking about Eldritch Blast becoming a higher level spell so you couldn't improve SLA boosters to it? Check the CA errata, it refutes that and maintains Eldritch Blast always counts as a 1st level spell.

[Ebiris]

Well shit. Better get me a blast essence before people start casting lesser globes of invulnerability.

[Anastasia]

On the flip side you can always get SLA boosters to help it now.

[Ebiris]

Yeah, maybe at level 18...

[Anastasia]

What about Quicken? You can get it for your default Eldritch Blast at level 12, and I figure you'd be all over that one.

I think. How does adding blast essences work for warlocks, anyway? Is it permanent or can you change it at will?

[Ebiris]

Blast essences can be selected at will. I plan on taking the Acid one (since it ignores SR), which should also get me above the block put out by minor globe of invulnerability (maybe the not-minor one, not sure).

As for feats, I'm pretty much packed on them for a while. 9 - Fey Power, 12 - Scribe Scroll, 15 - Darkstalker (if Darkstalker can work as a Scout Bonus feat I'd take it at 8). So be a while before I can splurge on anything SLA related.

[Anastasia]

I'd allow Darkstalker as a Scout feat, it's entirely reasonable.

[16:14] <@Kotono> Okay, quick and dirty vote then: Yay or nay on that houserule.

[16:15] <@Janson> I'm for it.
[16:16] <@Janson> Specifically, I'm for this version.
[16:16] <@Janson> Energy Drain never results in lost levels. However, if the fort save made after 24 hours fails, the negative level condition becomes permanent until removed via a Restoration spell or similar.
[16:16] <Whurric> That's fine to me. It's still 'permanent', but fixable.
[16:16] <Orval> Agreed.
[16:16] <Orval> I can totally live with that.
[16:17] <@Kotono> Okay.
[16:17] <Orval> Still debilitating, but at least there's hope
[16:17] <@Kotono> Someone copy/paste this into odds and ends, I'll add the house rule tonight.

[Anastasia]

Also, are you guys interested in this house rule?

When reduced to below 0 hp, a percentile roll must be made each round to stabilise or lose further hp. The target of this roll is equal to the character's constitution score or lower.

[Ebiris]

I like it.

[Merc]

It's horribly speciest and ensures future Simmer-type characters are more likely to die! :(

(No, just kidding, I like it. Simmer-types can stay out of the fire if they don't like it)

[Anastasia]

Simmer-types can stay out of the fire

You are a cruel man.

[Merc]

Well if they don't want to get iced, it just makes sense!

[Anastasia]

You make baby pyrodryads cry.

[Yuthirin]

Are they crying fiery tears?

Also, I like this rolling system.
