The Gossip Board mk 2

This is why we keep you near the back of the line, Iddy. If we're spread out enough, I doubt he can hit all of us at once.

And okay, so he probably will know we're coming. But it's not like we can sneak unnoticed through the Astral plane anyway.

Roll for ID on dagger:

<Iris> roll 1d20+15 yep, here it is

Post it in loot, vampire.

Question for all the spelcasters and manifesters: Where are you keeping track of your spells used/spell slots/power points used?

I edit this whenever I cast anything.

I saw some discussion about buying magical items the past few days, so I'd like to review and clarify what's acceptable there and what's not. From the recruitment post:

Buying and selling magic items will not be common in this game. There will be times and places where you can do this in a limited capacity, but I'm not going for full magic shopping here. I'd rather try and give out interesting magical items to use instead. If there's something you really want, such as a stat booster or a +1 whatever weapon, I suggest getting it with your starting gold.

This means that why the occasional chance to buy something may occur, it's not something you can get on demand or expect. If you're expecting to go to a magic store the first town you get to and stock up, you're going to be sorely disappointed. That isn't to say that you can't buy anything. The following can be purchased at any large city, assuming a day's time to make connections and a decent gather information check or other connections

Scrolls
Potions
Wondrous magical items no greater than 900 gold in value. Do note that this is for the SRD only, other books may have things below the pricing threshold, but I'll want to look at them first. Ask me.

Really, the point of this is to avoid the typical gold for items shopping routine from most games. Magic items, when you find them, will be more unique and hopefully interesting than the norml. Garlicbane comes to mind here, as does that iron mountain consumable from this past session. Further, this opens the door for me to include more boosts of an unusual nature. Don't worry about keeping up with what magic items you'll be expected to have RAW. I'll be tailoring encounters to fit this gaming style.

As a secondary point, this does not mean you can't sell magic items you've come to possess. However, it won't be an open and shut affair and will require some effort. Ask me if you get something you'd like to try and fence for cash.

As a final note, I'm sure there will be plenty of reasons and rewards to use your money on. They'll be more creative than getting the next +1 on your armor or sword.

Right. How do you tell what spells you've expended? I just see a spell list.

[Sierra]

I erase spells used as they're expended in-game. Which is why there's only three memorized spells for level 3 right now (used Haste and Slow last night). Is there some need to track fired spells in greater detail?

[Anastasia]

No, that's fine. I just wanted to be clear on how you're doing it, in case I need to keep track myself for whatever reason.

[Iron Dragoon]

Okay. Dune approved my swapping Animal Cohort next level per the feat description. So far the suggestions I have gotten have been Fleshraker, Crocodile, or Dire Bat.

Croc is out because heavy grapple creatures are a pain. Any other suggestions?

[Zephyrus]

I know absolutely nothing about familiars. You could get Yulia mk II?

[Iron Dragoon]

Has to go off of the Druid Animal Companions.

Note: Dire bat = Flying Mount. Fleshraker has 5 raking attacks.

Question for all the spelcasters and manifesters: Where are you keeping track of your spells used/spell slots/power points used?

I use a calculator and a notepad. I can post it if you like.

[Anastasia]

Please. In case you miss a session and it comes up.

[Anastasia]

Has to go off of the Druid Animal Companions.

Note: Dire bat = Flying Mount. Fleshraker has 5 raking attacks.

Fleshraker is a little too high optimization for this game, methinks. Paradoxically, I think the giant bat as a mount is better in this game, but it's also far easier for me to work with.  So I'm fine with the bat and don't wanna deal with the pouncing poisonous dinosaur.
