You know, we're going to be a hard to hit party.  When you can point to the unarmed mage and say he's as nearly as hard to hit as a guy in scale mail and low man on the armor pool so far, that's a pretty sturdy group.

ANd that's the musing of the moment.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

Dracos

Random musing number 2:

I think I'm the only one playing a human.  I think I'm also the only one playing a guy character.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

Merc

You're probably the only human, but you're not the only guy. Rat's listed as a guy in his sheet >_>
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

I noticed, but I'm cool with that. I can cope with low AC PCs; there's more than one way to skin an adventurer!

See, this is where in real life I could grin manaically and make reference to all sorts of evil things. Oh well, I'll just have to settle with two words: Rust Monsters.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Anastasia

I'm both unsurprised and surprised. I figured Rat would be one of the girls and Merc would be the manly conquerer.

Carthrat

Huh.

My current musing is that I'm going to get to play with all sorts of weird utility spells.

Like 'Item'. :D
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?
[19:14] <Candide> My brain caught up

We had too many warriors I thought, which is where I would have played a guy. Actually, any class outside of thief and cleric I'd pick male. >_>
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

No female mages?

Damn, I half figured you might go for a Makoto mage or an Ami mage. Go go go Lighting Bolt at level 3! <_<

Merc

Nah. I have this odd thing against wizard classes. I'm not exactly sure why considering I'm playing a magical girl in your SM game, but whatever, I'm just odd that way I guess. ^_^;

Anastasia

*Snickers*

Joking aside, I'm so tempted to give you a Hammer of Thunderbolts or a Ring of Ice Control it's not funny.

EWWWW.

Anyhow, more seriously though, it actually helps a lot with the epic feel of it.  You can fling lots of small grunts alongside actual enemies without the worry that they'll be a significant change to the balance of the fight between the players and the enemies, thus making for more dramatic villians than "You encounter 3-7 villians" =P

This is sort of annoying to do when the weak enemies have a good chance of connecting and doing damage.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

Anastasia

That's true as well. Some cannon fodder that can be distracting but not a real threat is worth considering.

Gob gob?

Carthrat

Thing is, if you toss along 4 grunts alongside three ogres, that's 4 extra chances to roll a critical every round. ;_;

Merc

Plus more chance of getting flanked too ^_^

Dracos

meh. *shrugs*

If it truly ends up being a problem, Dune can deal with it.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.
