    SCAVENGERS

    Yea costuming is largely dependant on what you want. For my dog I wear a white turtleneck and thin sweatpants to rep his fur, and then usually wear a regular pair of in period pants and a generic shirt over them. Another player plays a Rhino scavvenger who was brought up in an asian-esque...

    Humans

    Nah, I'm bearded and play/have played humans. No prob, but when I play my dwarf I have to wear a fake beard too is all. And humans can dress flashy if they want, humans can also talk with an outrageous accent if they want, but if they do both they may be asked not to (or at least get mistaken...

    What would you charge?

    My primaries pricing policies tend to be as follows: 1) If someone desires spellcrafting: The price is usually one gold per difficulty level of spell crafting, and they must provide the ritual resources (components and scroll.) I also allow trade of one reagent for two gold (though few take me...

    Heidi in the hospital again (sigh)

    Oh geez! Get well soon Heidi, and this will be facilitated by not pushing yourself too hard while recovering *pointed stare* -Hoyce

    Humans

    I gotta disagree. I don't even like humans in real life.

    Craftsman Others!

    I wouldn't think that Craftsman: Professional Meddler is a viable Craftsman skill, as I'm not sure how you could make money at it. In a pinch you could simply take another level of your Craftsman: Sheep Breeding.

    SCAVENGERS

    I think that 'blood' should be a treat for your character. She'll eat and drink other stuff, but she 'blood' is her favorite. You can largely pick and choose your scavenger traits. My dog scavenger never chases his tail, for example, because I get dizzy easily, but he does covet bones and...

    Of boats adn the Sea

    In my experience for the most part owning a boat IG is a flavor thing that can come into play in plot writeups. Once or twice there has actually been boats used on stage IG, but for the most part there is a lot of imagination involved in the actually encounter. And at no point in those...

    Magic Items

    From a rules perspective, I agree with Dave completely here. From a plot perspective there are occasions when targeting a character's items is completely valid, though that kind of ability should be reserved for powerful, dangerous and intellegent bad guys. While the concept of "lets destroy...

    Making Ritual Levels More Useful

    Not to mention that they can swing their eviscerate and slay until they hit, but a missed death spell is just gone. But now I'm just nitpicking...

    Making Ritual Levels More Useful

    I should point out that nowhere has anyone advocated giving a ritualist something that allows them to "take out the BBG in one combat." Just a little boon that gives them something unique that they can do on a regular basis and isn't dependent on acquiring several of the most highly sought after...

    Making Ritual Levels More Useful

    I may not have articulated myself well in that statment. I meant to say that, even without items, your average fighter is more powerful than your average ritualist, I wasn't even neccessarily referring to items in that paragraph. That said, however, rarely is merely refusing to create an item...

    Making Ritual Levels More Useful

    I do not follow Seattle's boards considering I don't play there and can't envision a time when I ever will (the several thousand mile ride is rather a deterrent.) I'll have to check it out though. I meant that any tangible measures of power from an OOG perspective are combat ability and...

    Making Ritual Levels More Useful

    A) You yourself state that it is not a well described fact that scholars are an underpowered class B) because the game is SUPPOSED to have the classes balanced and C) I'm saying we give them SOMETHING and, unfortunately, combat ability and/or treasure are pretty much the only tangable benifit to...

    Making Ritual Levels More Useful

    Yea the last thing we should be doing is finding some way to reward players who take a class for style over IG power. [/sarcasm] They are still all treasure dependant though. This I'd support, as it creates some benifit to being a formalist. I doubt it'll ever happen because too many people...

    The Undeath

    Kerjal, Contrary to what you claim the Earth is harmed by necromancy regardless of what region you are in. Different areas may be affected more quickly than others (just as the same plague may sweep through one person quite swiftly while another lingers for quite some time.) So while some lands...

    Making Ritual Levels More Useful

    It seems to me that the biggest disparity with ritual levels as opposed to other build expenditures is that it requires a comparatively inordinate amount of treasure to use. Fighters can use eviscerate with the same equipment that they start with, rogues don’t need any equipment for their...

    The Undeath

    Kerjal, Necromancy is a powerful word, this cannot be denied. Though ascribing benign magical practices such as resurrection and life spells to Necromancy would be akin to calling soldiers murders because both kill people. Like it or not, Necromancy refers to spells that call upon chaos. If you...
