Welcome to Gaia! ::

oh. o.o realy? I've never heard it.

anywho, ouch! gonk that sucks. I wish I knew how to help. but I'm bad at that kinda stuff.

anywho, posted Twi's unfortunate encounter.

also, wanted to ask how your Star Wars game is going. I'm curious now.

that seems like kinda bull. confused but, to each their own... personally, I insist on Roleplaying the social checks, but just apply modifiers to the roll rather than make the check pointless like that. I even give pointers if the character has better skill bonus than what they are saying would imply.

but other than that (and the obvious unbalance of character level to challenge they defeat easily) I am glad to know it's going good. smile

my own Star Wars game hit a snag as far as scheduling new sessions goes, but it just started getting REALY good! biggrin I'm excited, because the drama has finally started kicking in. one of the characters is already dieing, and I have it planned that the players will have to toss his dieing body out into the vacuum of space to die in order to prevent countless needless deaths... heartwrenching situation, inspired by, of all things, a children's cartoon show. ._.

TV shows are kinda ******** up nowadays...

nicely done. 3nodding

also, Morrowind, FTW! Dark Elves have such a freaking intense history in Elder Scrolls. O_O totally tied with Orcs for my favourite playable race.

Nerds. >.> <.<

some of that seems like cheating... such as upsetting game balance by opening up more birthsigns to races who don't normally get them... but as long as it at least makes sense I don't realy care. crafting systems, though, just seem like something the elder scroll games deserve and for some reason don't have as standard.

but mostly, I play for RP bullshit fun. I'm a sandboxer. I play Dark Elves and Orcs because they have awesome backstory, and Nords are kinda coolio, too. none of the others realy seem that interesting to me, although Wood Elves are a curiosity. reverse veggitarians! xd the don't eat any plant matter, only meat! they smoke grubs, for gods' sake!

fair enough. after all, the best part is setting the difficulty to what you feel comfortable with. smile

by the way, my Orc's highest skill was Speech on my save file. =w= so it's not impossible. and Orcs have a tie with Dark Elves for THE BEST history in Elder Scrolls, in my opinion.

but yeh, that outfit you described sounds awesome. real similar to how I dress alot of my Soul Caliber 3 Dancer Class characters. xd

anywho, I wanna geek out about D&D real quick, if yo don't mind. whee

so, we started up a campaign in my friend Ben's homebrew world, Angstasia (where bad puns go to die). we started at level 10 for this, and gained our first level tonight after a 3 and a half hour battle against a quasi-god Saving-Throw-Munchkin.

my character is a Bard 4/ Barbarian 2/ Skald 4 with the Lingering Song, Chant of Fortitude and Ironskin feats, as well as Obscure Lore and Knowledge in History, Arcana, Religion and Nature. his Bardic Knowledge is +17, and his Diplomacy is +22 (well, +23 now, but I'll get to that in a sec).

see, he can use his Bardic Music while raging, and his bardic music effects last 7 + cha modifier rounds after he's done setting them up (that's 10 rounds at a time right now). with 8 daily uses of them, he can stack effects like nobody's business. what's more, he can use Bardic Music to grant DR 4/- and prevent people from dieing even at -10 HP (and they auto stabilize if below 0 HP).

I now gave him a level of Cleric, with the Chaos and Travel Domains.

but what I plan to do with him next is not get him any more levels of Cleric at all. I'm gonna get 5 Levels of Druid (to get access to Wild Shape), and 8 levels of Geomancer, while getting the Domain Spontaneity feat twice (once for each domain) and the Natural Spell feat, then get 5 levels of Warshaper.

domain spontaneity allows me to use Turn Undead attempts (I have 6/day and that will soon go up) to spontaneously cast a domain spell from ANY divine spell slot of equal or higher level. I have to designate a domain when I take the feat, so I will have to get it once for each domain.

the Natural Spell feat allows me to cast spells even when transformed into a form that can't speak normally, by substituting the creature/animal's sounds for verbal components.

the Warshaper class is just all kinds of fun. ultimate shapeshifting versatility. I can AT WILL add a natural attack as a move action or increase the size (and therefore damage) of a natural weapon that I have (these include tail slams, horn gores, claws, bites, whatever). there is NO LIMIT on my ability to use this ability! O_O just takes an itty bit of time.

the Geomancer class, however, is amazing. so, I get what's called "Spell Versatility Level", which is essential 0 at 1st level and goes up by one at every level. what this does is it allows me to blur the lines between my spellcasting classes up to spells of the level of my Spell Versatility Level. spells of that level and below count as having all the effects of any of my spellcaster effects, so me being a Bard/Cleric/Druid I can cast all my Bard AND my Cleric and Druid Spells spontaneously without preparing them. I also can substitute any Bard, Cleric or Druid spell slot to cast a Cure or Summon Nature's Ally spell of equal or lower level. AND I can also spend a Turn Undead attempt to substitute any Bard, Cleric or Druid spell slot to cast a Domain Spell of equal or lower level. pretty nifty, huh?

the Geomancer also gets +1 level to a spellcasting class I already have at each gained level. I am gonna put the first 4 towards Druid spellcasting (to get up to 5th level Druid spells) and the next 4 in Bard (to get up to 4th level Bard Spells). by the way, 5th level Travel Domain spell is Teleport. =w=

I will also have a leftover feat to get Diehard by the time I get all this, so he can survive longer so as to keep the party alive while doing all his bullshit. as well as he gets Fast Healing 2 and the ability to increase his reach by 5ft at a time as a move action among other fun things.

epically stupid-awesome, or what!? mrgreen

Jesus man gonk

Also, how does your character end up with levels in so many different classes? I don't understand multiclassing rules all that well yet and need to know stuff like this.
