Oh the screenshots are from the huge set of spell pages later on in the PDF.
And "Components" are the things you need to be able to do to cast the spell. They are mostly "flavouring" that you get to choose the specifics of... unless you are constrained in some way.
The three components are V (verbal - you need to be able to speak in order to cast the spell), S (somatic - you need to be able to gesture, so not while bound!) and M (material - you need some kind of "spell component", often thematic bits and pieces)
Oh - there is a 4th which is "F" (focus) - it is usually the replacement for M. A single object for channelling magic. It is pretty much what Cleric holy symbols do, and you can have arcane casters do that too
Oh yes! lol
@msh210 Sure , so ... pipe organ is probably not a good plan.
;)
Also, the rest of the characters are pretty "outdoorsy" :P
I just looked at Bard... and you are apparently allowed to know 3 musical instruments of your choice :) (Not that you necessarily carry them all around with you!)
I'm reading the intro and it says "Without the healing magic of clerics and paladins, adventurers would quickly succumb to their wounds.". So maybe one of us should be one of those....
@Mithical - looks like Rangers can cast Cure Wounds when they are level 2 o.o; So not to begin with but not too far away. I think I will be the only one incapable of healing ^^;
(And knowing that, I may as well not throw away a spell choice for something literally everyone but me can do better lol)
@msh210 Alignment! A short-hand way of describing your general morals/ethics.
2 axes: - Good | Neutral | Evil , which is mostly obvious, I guess. - Lawful | Netural | Chaotic , which is more about do you follow rules, or do you do whatever you feel like at the time.
People tend to think of it as a long scale from Lawful Good being "the most good" to Chaotic Evil being "the most evil" but that is ... not really true :)
Oh, Neutral Neutral is usually referred to as True Neutral
> Ditto, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Ditto is a unique Pokémon because it can breed with any Pokémon in a Day Care Center regardless of its gender, except for...
Why they're breeding in day care centers, I don't want to know.
Is there some kind of convention once a game starts to indicate whether the character is speaking or the person who manages that character? Like, having the managing person speak in parentheses or something?
(I understand it's usually played in person not in a chatroom. I'm asking about the chatroom case.)
Kithri Tealeaf. Lawful Good. 19 years old, lightfooted halfling. Two and a half feet tall. Brown hair worn shoulder length, with hazel eyes. Two small circular scars on her right elbow, and a long jagged scar down her right leg.
Spent every minute possible in the outdoors, teaching herself everything - staying out for months at a time. Naturally curious and loves to explore. Her parents live in a town with other races.
Open and talkative to other people, but if asked about a SO she immediately clams up.
Individual character sheet matter more in things like combat, when Sciborg will have to keep track of all the enemies and we're expected to keep track of ourselves
Shouldn't Sciborg tell us what place and time we're in before we decide what people to be? Like, it might be more useful to be a dwarf in Middle-Earth than in a Martian colony (just for example).
> How can I save a fillable PDF on Google Chrome and have the resulting PDF still be updateable? You can't. You have to use some other application. Microsoft used to have a free PDF viewer that did a fine job of this, but they discontinued service for it and now you have to use Microsoft Edge.
Læraðr, true neutral, real age unknown but is presumed 16-18. A wood elf, tall (6'2"), slender, and well-built, he was raised by wolves after his family was killed by a pack of demonic wolves. He has copper-brown skin, long, hazel brown hair typically tied into a rat-tail that hangs over one of his shoulders. His left eye is a sapphire blue eye inherited from his parents, and a gash across his right eye, along with blood red pupil from his encounter (cont'd)
2
(cont'd) with the demon wolves. It is said to glow during the hunt. He is missing a majority of his left arm, except during combat and other situations where the left arm/hand is needed. During this time, he is given a magical arm to use. The arm is similar to his right side in terms of length and size, except has a faint, transparent green aura emanating. The arm is also entirely made from vines and roots. It is see through, almost ghost-like in its appearance (the arm is entirely cosmetic)
Is usually okay with people calling him "Lae" (pronounced "lay"). Seeks to find Yggrasil's Bowwhich is said to be made from the very branches of Yggdrasil itself, to slay the monsters and even the goddess herself who killed his village
Although works well with others in fights and combat, he is quiet, reserved, and VERY awkward (flaw) and does not open up well to others, much to Kithri's chagrin. Having grown up away from civilization his entire life, he cannot read or write in Common Tongue, however, he can speak somewhat brokenly in it. Strangely, he is completely fluent in elvish. Despite his incredible awkwardness, he is loyal to his "pack", but more importantly, in preserving the very life balance of nature.
I'm a noob-ish, I know a bit about the game because my friend plays it, and we were going to do a campaign but never got around to it but I've never played myself
