@raynemaker well let’s hope I get this app accepted for a better character from both sides

It's best viewed on IE3.0 or higher at 640 x 480 resolution.

Bulk of the new Starting Area is done, just waiting for more DMs to look it over. Hopefully it will be live soon

As I have really slow German internet, is this still a go for this week? If so I’ll need to start downloading it from steam overnight.

Yeah. No go for me. Heading off to restaurant. Have fun!

Very cool.

The upshot, quite a few fessed up. Several who did it did it a very long time ago. We will sort through it, but I hope those who have not fessed up yet still come forward soon.

found the stuff in the workshop.

aielund saga - i saw some of you talking about that in discord. worth playing coop?

Mage Killer

Mystra and her followers are anathema to those that follow the true goddess of magic, Shar.

Those most blessed are chosen when their blood born skills become apparent to the Sharran priests, and the young sorcerers are taken into the temple to be taught the correct view of the world.
As they grow and develop their sorcerous powers within the safety of the temples they are indoctrinated into a loathing of the mystra view of magic and those that hold it. As the sorcerers grow stronger they are taught combat skills to complement their use of Shar's gifts creating a melange of martial and magical power focused with one purpose... to eliminate Mystra's church and ultimately facilitate the ascendance of Shar as the true goddess of all magic.

Basically the idea is to create a range (probably for stealth and tracking) that uses the sharran sorc abilities to hunt and kill mages.
They will abhor the casters of mystras weave, and seek to eliminate them where possible, interfere with any plans they know of, etc etc

Selunites could be similarly targetted as Shar/Selune are also antagonistic.

Mechanically i would suggest Sorc4/ranger x to allow 2nd level spells to boost damage and give thematic appearances, ranger provides some stealth, skill points and tracking, and full Ab.
potentially shadow dancer or assasin prcs could be suitable eventually depending on development.

It's not working for me also. (However I can help fixing it)

@captainfantastic said in Discord and censorship:

So, how about we all wind down the negativity some and start figuring out ways to get new players excited for COA with the EE?

Mic drop, topic lock :)

In regards to Perma-death events: I love them and want more so long as the deaths are for RP and not just "DM spawned 20 Balors on my head and killed me with no chance on my end" (not saying you guys would). Personally that is the kind of tense conflict I love.

I've always loved the thayan arena. Some of my most memorable character situations have come from the arena.

Whether it was Thifur slowly mining a mountain sized elemental to death, Jaques duelling a Hard Castle retainer, or my tempan cleric being slain by a pile of animated sewage.

Half the fun is watching the fights because they are entertaining rather then just mechanical challenges.

Next thing we need is an official gambling ring setup if you ask me. Good idea for a character concept.

Edit - Will pm potential balance issue/fix instead.

Thanks but didn't help. TUrned of my firewall too so it must be router issue. Found the link that said the address was right. So at a loss if its not router at this hotel.

sigh

Friday is awful for me.

@mind-over-body said in Merchants Buying Too Much:

The merchant in Old Town should be the same as Temon but he's got lowered to 100 max.

Could this change please? For the scummies of our server? :)

As for Doretta, she's buying at 250, but only clothes. That's not a gamebreaker much.

I can increase that one to 200; but welcome to being 'scummy' you get worse deals. You'll find the same problem at pawn shops! Doretta is actually a gamebreaker, its why we keep fixing her. She should simply not be buying things. Go to Temon, he'll 250.

Might be a good idea to have a link to it also in the application forums so it’s not over looked or missed when one goes to make an application.

The forums are massive and there is a lot of information everywhere, figured it can’t hurt to the a reminder there as well.

Yes I like that actually Nikko. I see no reason why the incumbent can't serve multiple terms and run again.

@captainfantastic said in Clarification and Transparency on what we are discussing:

But, wait, I am in the militia and my character has serious issues with olouth's character. Doesn't this screw me over? I voted for Elodie to avoid this!

For starters, 3 pcs do not make up the entirety of the miltia. That's not to say that we don't want PCs to be the major representation of the militia, and had I known all the details we would have worked this out before the major announcement. But the reality is that before these pcs (and the election for that matter) Thundersword enjoyed a strong relationship with the militia, to the point that there was discussion about making her warden of the militia just on dm earned merit alone. The reality is that me coming in with this crazy experiment sort of screwed over her time and effort, which is why I jumped the gun on a solution that corrected that.

As for the pcs that dislike olouth's character that are still in the militia, I see several options for you to take. I don't want to get into all of them because the game is all about pcs making their own decisions, but finding jobs that are actually more prestigious in elodies government or opposing the boss you hate both come to mind.

Why is this being posted as any of the militia PCs have issues OOC-ly with this? You even approached me to ask and i said i had no OOC issues with this decision. TBH stuff like this is what starts big misunderstandings and bad blood and i want to clear up that not one of the PCs in the militia have made any sort of objections to the decision ooc-ly, despite what this post suggests.

I was a bit worried about this post as well. I dunno where you got the idea that we had some kind of issue with o'louths character outside of ic stuff. They've been fairly friendly in the interactions I've had so far.

The only discussions I've had ooc about this matter is figuring out how the npcs view the situation (since it was a bit of a sudden twist) and stating that I find it to be an interesting turn of events. I've been thoroughly entertained by what has come of it so far from an ooc perspective. Despite it being an unexpected and sudden twist.

Being singled out as one of the "3 pc's" in your initial post is a bit disconcerting though I'll admit. I'd much rather have handled all of this stuff the fun in character way than consider it from an ooc perspective. Regardless of whether it is the result of an error in communication from a dm or not.
