@rocketrobie2
I'm having a blast. One thing I've learned about builds is to not spread out. "A jack of all trades is a master of none" and all that. I just got Dragonfall and havnt gotten too deep I think, so far I using a human mage and its been doing all right by me. I just beat Shadowrun: Hong Kong a couple days ago, ran that with a troll street samurai. He didn't have the best build admittedly but... Eh.

[rocketrobie2]

@Pathfinder Yeah, in the past I've done a jack of all trades and a Cyber enhanced jacker/ summoner.

[HaltingBlooper]

Is this....nerd stuff?
Anyone play D&D?

[SevenStormStyle]

@HaltingBlooper

I occasionally play 5th edition pencil and paper with my family, but mostly a 3rd edition online server for Neverwinter Nights based on the Ravenloft campaign.

[HaltingBlooper]

@SevenStormStyleI've only played one 4e campaign and two halves of 5e campaigns. I miss shifters.
But the first time I played (4e) 4 out of 6 people in my party had never played, one person had played once, and the DM was brand new. We ended up failing terribly because we forgot all our racial/class bonuses all the time. But on the bright side, my shifter druid used thorn whip to throw someone out of a four-story window in a wizard's tower and then watched them splat on the floor. It was great.

@HaltingBlooper

That's the great thing about Neverwinter, the computer rolls and applies your bonuses for you! It's wayyyy easier than traditional D&D. Our campaign is the first 5th edition one for everyone except the DM, and I think he's always on the verge of ripping his hair out. (It doesn't help that one of the players likes to get more and more intoxicated as the game progresses).

My favorite things:

Wildshape, bard song, mass drown, and anything Red Dragon Disciple related.

@HaltingBlooper@SevenStormStyle I'm a DM to a D&D and Pathfinder. I only have Pathfinder stuff but could easily host a D&D campaign if I had the materials.

[Veiled Angel]

He's my Gm :) I play a badass oracle of death called Cat, whose very name makes people cry in fear across the lands.

[Kronshi]

@Veiled Angel Not quite.

Updated Strengite

Name:
Strengite, anything else someone tries to call him

Gem:
Strengite

Appearance:

He’s Pretty small standing at only 4 feet tall even (including his ‘hair’)

Gem Placement:
On his right ear

Gem Item: Katana

Power: Sound mimicry and manipulation- To start off with Strengite will only be able to mimic other people’s words that he has heard (like a tape recorder basically) but as his powers develop more he will be able to void sound in his general area making him and his companions completely silent and also gaining the ability to throw his voice and have it seem like it’s coming from somewhere else.

Other:
-All hail Plankton the Queen!
-Strengite won’t have a voice of his own in the beginning but after hearing the same words from different people over time he’ll develop his own voice by pitch shifting and meshing sounds from others.
-Strengite Gems are typically not grown to be on the front lines of battle and are more so entertainers (such as singers or dancers) than they are fighters. Emphasis on typically as our Strengite does not match up at least quite as much.
-Thanks AGAIN Loony for the picture. I love it so much O.O.

@SevenStormStyleMy favorite things: Thorn whip being super OP(dealing 1d4 blunt damage to 3 enemies plus 1d8 to 1 of them and knocking them all prone in 5e), bardic inspiration(which has the disadvantage of the DM being able to negate it if s/he wants to be a dick), getting a high enough wild shape challenge rating that I have to switch to the monster manual instead of the suggested beasts (circle of the moon op), suggestion (holy shit it sounds op), teaming up with a friend to sleep a miniboss and their minions, having my bard dress up as a murderous clown of your nightmares and succesfully making one of the guards of a bandit camp faint,

and last but not least,

the beer incident.
shudder

[BrassOtter]

the beer incident.
shudder

@HaltingBlooper

Sounds like Dwarf Fortress

[Temporary]

D&D is fun... I wish I could've played more of the campaign I was in, but we had to cut it short. Then again, with the way it was going, I'm sure everyone was going end up dead.

I mean, my character was dragged behind a building, unconscious, beat and then stripped of his belongings. BY THE PLAYERS! XD

[HaltingBlooper]

@BrassOtterThe beer incident was when a player, who I'll call Jimothy for the sake of his anonymity, drank 20(!) mugs of beer, and killed four people in a bar fight(he was a barbarian) and got us all run out of town. The party never let him forget. The DM added measures to prevent this.

[Pathfinder]

I've only played Pathfinder, but I don't have too many good stories. Except the sewer quest. Goblins, shit bags, sewage slick walls, and a chimney make for a hell of a time.

[rocketrobie2]

@Pathfinder
Please, do elaborate

(I love hearing tabletop stories SO MUCH)

[21308]

Hey guys sorry I've gone quiet for a while.

[HaltingBlooper]

@Pathfinder@21308
I just played XCOM Enemy Unknown for 3 hours straight! Help.....

(I love hearing tabletop stories SO MUCH)

@rocketrobie2

Wanna hear a dragon story?

[Temporary]

@HaltingBlooper YUS!

[HaltingBlooper]

@VocabSo. It was my first campaign ever, and it was the end of my first dungeon ever. The dungeon.....was full of wimpy kobolds and an assortment of Small races(halflings, goblins, etc.). So, we reached the 5th floor, the dungeon boss, and we thought "This might actually be easy!" Then we saw......a young adult blue dragon. *cries in the corner* We had a half-elf bard(me), a paladin, a halfling wizard, a rogue, a human fighter(who was named J Neric) and a human barbarian. Amazingly, none of us died. The dragon rolled a critical failure on his second breath weapon, and ended up doing 47 damage to his foot, frying it to a crisp. (The DM made critical fails as bad for the enemy as for us, which was surprisingly fair) I had to heal 3 party members from unconsciousness, because I was the main healer. The rogue's player, which I will name Crisps to protect the player's anonymity, had taken our ten healing potions, because he was the self-proclaimed leader. He was unconscious. So I healed Crisps, and we went around healing everyone while the Barbarian and the Wizard kept attacking the dragon. The dragon eventually died, and we got: some really expensive gems, which I used my super-fukkin-high Charisma to sell for twice the money, a magical bandore(similar to harp) (which Barbarian man insisted he kept for reasons soon to be revealed), and a +1 longsword, which J Neric kept. Then.....

Barbarian stole the sword, commited seppuku, and brought in his new character(a sorceror). I took the bandore. Sorceror wanted it. I said no. I told him that he can't even play a lute. He complained to the DM. J Neric monk-punched him in the face. I kept the magic bandore. It was op. Here are the spells that I could cast once a day, each, at will.

Fly
Levitate
Invisibility
Shillelagh
Fairie fire
Entangle
Protection from evil
Speak with animals

I named it Frederick.
