Re: B S (VIII)
Yeah, sorry about that. I've fallen behind on posting summaries. I'm trying to have them done by the end of this week.

This is brilliant! When Daisy hears about this, she's gonna be kicking herself.Different weather, different soil, even different bees! I think maybe we should be growing what already grows on the island

So will Wes. He has had the Identify Plant Type ability since 3rd level... D'oh!

I about smacked myself for not thinking about this earlier. Just hit me like a bolt from the blue yesterday. I started reading up on Jungle and Rain Forest-based food crops. There are a lot of them. I'm hoping this will be a game changer.

That only took 30 players what, three years to come up with?

Too be fair, this is Dungeons & Dragons, not Farmers & Fields.

Oh yeah.... that's one of those comments guaranteed to endear you to your players.

I couldn't resist.

Re: B S (VIII)
I feel the same way. I was looking at Wes' sheet about three days ago and noticed that ability. Sat there wondering "How can I use that?"

Re: B S (VIII)
Thanks again for doing all that, man!
Don’t take this the wrong way, but I really like how it’s not all completely accurate. Reminds me of the “false” rumors on the lists in the old modules.

The groups leader is certain that it is only a matter of time before his new splendid little toy eliminates the beast for good, so he shouts out the command word once again. "One Dress!" But much to his chagrin, instead of a devastating ray of withering, a small stream of butterflies exit the tip of the wand this time, leaving the normally cool headed Chauncey looking rather flummoxed.

He's lucky he got hold of the right end. IIRC, the damn thing doesn't have an obvious handle.

Attn. Bluehorse and Urson. Since Daisy, Liam and Jaxsen are all planning a trip to the Dwarves and the Natives, would either of you mind if I kick off the story? Just to get us together and moving? I saw that Daisy has actually gone out looking for companions and Liam and Jaxsen are already planning a trip to the Native village, so the rest is just connecting the dots.

Re: B S (VIII)
I know how you feel. I chose a crossbow for Maag, my fighter/thief. I know I had a good reason at the time. But I can't remember what it is now.Karaunios wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 10:23 am Grimm let's a curse come out of his mouth as he sees Cealwyn falling at the beast's hits. He grins, aiming at the monster with his crossbow and fires.
Light Crosbow - To hit: [1d20+1] = 19+1 = 20 (DEX adj.); Dmg: S/M/L [1d4] = 4
Next time, get yourself a short bow, 1-6 damage and two shots in a round...

I think it might have been "Oh he's a street thug. He never would have had a chance to learn to use a shortbow." Honestly, the sacrifices we make for "flavor"

SirOwen- Go right ahead. I've been handling my part of things IC, but feel free to move stuff along.

Re: B S (VIII)
We have whole threads devoted to the crossbow in D&D/RPGs, in fact there is one going on now I think. It's one of the biggest screw ups from a realistic stand point that there is.
