@trogdor Have you ever seen one of those really awkward job interviews where a parent is trying real hard to get their kid hired somewhere?
 
uh (sweating) nooooope
XD
 
Just imagine being a nervous teenager sat in front of an interview panel of three devils while your dad tries to sell your soul to them having somehow managed to get so far in life without learning that accompanying you to a job interview does not make a good impression
I assume BESW will now provide a link to an RPG about that or start writing one
but now I must sleep
g'night
 
12:37 AM
 
lol
 
12:59 AM
I bought some new rings ... but have now run out again! Need to get a sack-full! :D
 
1:10 AM
XD
can't ever have enough of those right?
every 100 of those is extra armor class
 
lol
 
lol
 
lol
 
100 rings gets you about a 4" square! (And I'm using large rings!)
So yeah, extra armour class ... on my wrist!
 
1:26 AM
yeah but armlets are +1 AC so
 
@V2Blast huh, yeah, I meant to include the link
 
bam
 
@trogdor yeah ... not gonna get that past my GM! :D
 
lol
 
@trogdor Loving you chainmail
 
1:33 AM
it's not really my chainmail but thanks XD
 
I thought @KorvinStarmast was saying that it was "Loving you" mail ... what with Valentine's Day coming up, what better way to celebrates one's relationship than something that says "I hope you don't die!" :)
 
@BlackSpike Looks like it's +3 to "tearing arm-hair out by the roots"?
 
@nitsua60 I strapped it on for a minute or two, and it seemed ok. But I imagine if I wore it much longer, I would suddenly, and sharply, realise why gambesons are a thing
(Your arm-hair may vary. I am led to believe that I am on the "not so much hair" end of the spectrum)
 
@BlackSpike My hair does vary. Because I run enough that it's a painful problem sometimes, but not enough that it's solved itself for all time.
 
@nitsua60 Would waxing help?
There is lots of advice about wearing mail that mention hair-pulling, and rogue links that scratch ... and then a big "wear a gambeson" sign!
... and then there are lots of real pics of genuine chainmail bikinis, worn without padding ... xo
 
1:52 AM
@BlackSpike Running more.
4d
 
 
@BlackSpike resistant to slashing-based wrist damage!
 
@goodguy5 Yay! I can't count how often that comes up! :)
Replicate those links along the whole arm ( supposedly getting wider, to account for muscle-mass, but my wet-noodles dont' count for much) and we might have the beginnings of some actual AC
 
@BlackSpike getting wider, you say?
 
2:09 AM
@nitsua60 Yeah, I read such things ... I am yet to action them in real-time production-based scenarios.
 
2:21 AM
To change the subject: our Rolemaster Characters gain a level on Monday!
Going up to Level 4! w00t!
 
2:33 AM
But for now, I got some von Danikken to read, hopefully send me to sleep. Have fun y'all, catch you on the flip side
 
2:48 AM
@BlackSpike Your chariot awaits the, sire. 8^D
 
3:33 AM
I'm trying to make a character for a Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus (D&D 5e) campaign. I'm thinking a bard with the Faceless background, but still trying to figure out the rest of the character
was maybe thinking College of Glamour at first. Perhaps an aasimar (because we're going to hell; scourge, maybe?), or an eladrin elf (fits with college of glamour's fey/enchantment theme) or maybe even one of the variant tieflings from MTOF (a Zariel tiefling, perhaps?).
though I've learned another player might be playing an eladrin Glamour bard... but they submitted a few different possible characters
As far as backstory goes, I haven't nailed down any of the details, but perhaps he could be working as an undercover agent of some sort, using his cover as a performer of some kind to secretly gather information . I'm thinking maybe he'd be working to do good in some way for the people of Baldur's Gate... but maybe not? he could also be getting used, unbeknownst to him, by an employer with their own motives.
ideas and suggestions are welcome

@BESW happy bounce
 
3:59 AM
The deadline isn't 'til tomorrow but I dunno if I'll have much more time before then to work on it, so.
 
4:23 AM
that seems fair to me
and really the version you showed me seemed pretty good already
 
This one has a few tweaks, mostly wording changes for clarity or tone.
I spruced up some of the bits where the L&F text is confusing.
Made some things cozier, like changing the Assassin to a Spy and swapping out the Secret Coup for Gossipy Portraits.
And of course, the GM is now a Goblin Mom.
 
4:47 AM
nice
all good changes for sure

@BESW Goblin Mom is a nice touch!
 
Thanks!

Q: Are there any 6-level-spell progression classes with wildshape?

JoshuaDI don't see anything in the plain class descriptions and it's time consuming to go through each archetype to see if I can find what I'm looking for. Are there any classes that gain access to wild shape and six levels of spells (as opposed to the Druid with 9)?

 
3:00 PM
@nitsua60 I was fully expecting an Airplane clip there.

@V2Blast Incidentally, a friend is just visiting Iceland and sent me this
"gata" or its relatives mean "road" or "street" in a bunch of Scandinavian languages, apparently it's cognate with the English "gate"
 
5:15 PM
So I just noticed an account is suspended for rules violations. Is that pretty much all I can know about it or is asking about it further an option?
So I just noticed an account (not mine) is suspended for rules violations. Is that pretty much all I can know about it or is asking about it further an option?
 
@Medix2 Probably not. I have a relevant bit of commentary in the log somewhere...
Oh well, couldn't find it as quickly as I'd hoped. But I remember moderator statements that account suspensions (and actions leading there) are typically not discussed, to avoid fostering a sense of stigma for what should be a corrective measure. Actual mods, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.
Oh lol.
I actually tried searching with the specific word ("stigma") and found it instantly...

It's so that people can reintegrate after they've cooled off and improved their ways (if they've done so) without trouble or stigma.
 
Yup, that makes sense, glad I asked first, thank you!
 
Yea :>
No prob, glad to be of assistance.
 
5:49 PM
@Medix2 We can, of course, answer general questions. But @kviiri's got the right of it: we shy away very strongly from discussing individual actions unless the principal requests that we do so.

hey there @skullpatrol, welcome to the RPG.SE lair :)

Q: What is Dark Speech?

NathanSIn the D&D 5e DMG, the artifact called the Book of Vile Darkness has the following property (pp. 223-224): Dark Speech. While you carry the Book of Vile Darkness and are attuned to it, you can use an action to recite words from its pages in a foul language known as Dark Speech. Each time you ...

 
@Shalvenay thank you :)
 
 
2 hours later…
9:02 PM
@kviiri I've seen a few people share that, yes :P
@skullpatrol welcome!
@HotRPGQuestions I wonder if this originates from or is tied to Tolkien's Black Speech in any way...
 
thanks :)
 
9:15 PM
The Bridge is free on EGS until Jan 30: https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/the-bridge/home
(After that, Farming Simulator 19 will be free from Jan 30 to Feb 6.)
 
9:56 PM
@V2Blast I think one difference with the recent "improvised weapon creature" question is that it asks for possible damage calcs which other questions don't
 
@V2Blast Oooh, the real game of impossible shapes. I recommend it.
 
Hmmm, idk actually... Now I'm looking at fall damage calc questions which is maybe somewhat related
 
10:28 PM
@Someone_Evil those do look like dupes of each other, at least
 
10:53 PM
Okay I admit V2 you were probably right for me to head over here made sense at the time but....yeah. Okay wanted to recreate the Kubikiriboucho from Naruto in dnd thinking 3.5 figured I might be able to mostly just re skin and add a few magical properties but wanted to know what I should use for the base to reskin.
 
11:15 PM
@BradleyLindsey I'd say it's literally just a greatsword, with the magical ability to repair itself on killing an enemy.
(Damage to objects almost never comes up, so that's not worth spending too much time thinking about.)
If you really want, nothing says "bigger than other swords" like the fullblade. Of course, it also says "requires Exotic Weapon Proficiency", which is not usually something you want weapons to say.
 
@Miniman What's the price modifier for a talking weapon?
 
11:35 PM
Thats what I was thinking just wasn't for sure.
 
11:53 PM
@BESW +1000 gp for the most basic intelligent item
 
What if it's not intelligent, it just shouts its own stats?
 
@BESW I don't know of any rules for talking weapons other than the intelligent item rules, but it's not something I'd price highly, personally.
 
@BESW Sounds like a Tourette's Tulwar there ... we found that talking weapons turned into nags, back when they were more common ...
