Anyone like the new forum colors? I got to say.... BANGIN!

[Rexleith]

Damn! (about the forum colors)

I do have Elifain. I just haven't been on in a few days. Real life stuff has caught up to me. So from now until next week I'm trying to figure this thing out.

haha! No worries. We have plenty of time to figure things out. We got a steady post a week going on I think.

Not with a bang, but a whimper.....

Anyone else know that poem?

[Nemesio]

sounds familiar...

Sorry I've been updating all the kids animal characters for the After School Program, so once again the Forum takes a backseat...

[Nemesio]

I know it is off topic but I want to start posting the kids' characters as I finish them in alphabetical order, just so that you guys know that I haven't forsaken our game. I'm just very distracted right now with my wedding/honeymoon coming up in a month and a half... I'm still very fond of the characters and of our little Ravenloft story, but I've been very scatterbrained as of late...

I also wanna thank everybody for being so patient with me. Know that I will not let the game die! Even if there is a single player I will continue. I do lose steam from time to time though, and for that you have my sincerest apology...

So here it goes, After School Character-Wise. These are some of the freaking animals that have been wreaking havoc in my Planescape campaign with the kids... Feel free to use these stats to fuck with PCs in your own campaigns.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Natural Diver (Ex) Daisy can hold her breath underwater for up to 6 minutes. Her dense armor naturally causes her to sink; she can inflate her stomach to counter this, accounting for her racial bonus on Swim checks.
Protective Ball (Ex) Daisy can roll up into a ball, increasing her natural armor bonus to +3 but decreasing her speed to 0.
Rockseer (Su) Daisy receives a +2 bonus on Perception checks to notice unusual stonework, such as traps and hidden doors located in stone walls or floors. She also receives a check to notice such features whenever she passes within 10 feet of them, whether or not she is actively looking. At 9th level, she gains tremorsense 30 feet. At 15th level, she can see through solid objects as if using a ring of x-ray vision for a number of rounds per day equal to her sorcerer level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Tremor (Sp) As a standard action, Daisy can cause the ground to shake beneath a single creature within 30 feet, functioning as a trip maneuver using her sorcerer level plus her Charisma modifier in place of her CMB. Daisy can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Bardic Performance (Su or Ex) Drake is trained to use the Perform skill to create magical effects on those around him, including himself if desired. He can use this ability 20 rounds per day. Each round, Drake can produce any one of the types of bardic performance that he has mastered. Starting a bardic performance is a move action, but it can be maintained each round as a free action. Changing a bardic performance from one effect to another requires Drake to stop the previous performance and start a new one as a standard action. A bardic performance cannot be disrupted, but it ends immediately if Drake is killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. Drake cannot have more than one bardic performance in effect at one time. Each bardic performance has audible components, visual components, or both. If a bardic performance has audible components, the targets must be able to hear the bard for the performance to have any effect, and such performances are language dependent. If deafened, Drake has a 20% chance to fail when attempting to use a bardic performance with an audible component. If he fails this check, the attempt still counts against his daily limit. Deaf creatures are immune to bardic performances with audible components. If a bardic performance has a visual component, the targets must have line of sight to the bard for the performance to have any effect. If blinded, Drake has a 50% chance to fail when attempting to use a bardic performance with a visual component. If he fails this check, the attempt still counts against his daily limit. Blind creatures are immune to bardic performances with visual components.
Countersong (Su): Drake has learned to counter magic effects that depend on sound (but not spells that have verbal components). Each round of the countersong he makes a Perform (string) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of Drake (including himself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use his Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of a non-instantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong, but it must use Drake’s Perform skill check result for the save. Countersong does not work on effects that don’t allow saves. Countersong relies on audible components.
Distraction (Su): Drake can use his performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Each round of the distraction, he makes a Perform (act or oratory) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of Drake (including himself) that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use the his Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform skill check proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the distraction is already under the effect of a non-instantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it sees the distraction, but it must use Drake’s Perform skill check result for the save. Distraction does not work on effects that don’t allow saves. Distraction relies on visual components.
Fascinate (Su): Drake can use his performance to cause up to three creatures to become fascinated with him. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear Drake, and capable of paying attention to him. Drake must also be able to see the creatures affected. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents this ability from working. Each creature within range receives a Will save DC 15 (10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Charisma modifier) to negate the effect. If a creature’s saving throw succeeds, Drake cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes the performance for as long as Drake continues to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a –4 penalty on all skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect. Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability. Fascinate relies on audible and visual components in order to function.
Gather Crowd (Ex): Drake can quickly gather a crowd. If he is in a settlement or populated area, he can shout or otherwise make himself noticed in order to attract an audience to his impromptu stage. The size of the crowd depends on the local population, but typically is a number of people equal to 3 × (equal to 1/2 the bard’s class level) the result of the Drake’s Perform check. The crowd gathers over the next 1d10 rounds. If the bard fails to engage the crowd (such as by performing, kissing babies, trying to use fascinate, and so on), it disperses over the next 1d10 rounds.
Incite Violence (Ex): Drake can use his performance to fan the fury of a crowd of people he has fascinated. Using this ability does not disrupt the fascinate effect, but does require a standard action to activate (in addition to the free action to continue the fascinate effect). Drake selects 6 targets (a number equal to his level), who must make Will saves DC 15 (10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Charisma modifier) or be affected by rage for a number of rounds equal to Drake’s bard level. Drake indicates who is the intended target of violence (either after using this ability or as part of the performance leading to it) and the enraged members of the crowd immediately attack the target if possible. The target does not need to be present (“kill the king” is a suitable choice) and can be an object instead of a person (“destroy the prison!” is likewise appropriate). Other members of the crowd may follow suit, though they do not gain the benefits of rage. This is a sound-based effect and is affected by countersong. If Drake and other bards are attempting to direct the crowd against different targets, they must make opposed Charisma checks, with the crowd following the directions of the winner.
Inspire Courage (Su): Drake can use his performance to inspire courage in his allies (including himself), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities. To be affected, an ally must be able to perceive Drake’s performance. An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. Inspire courage is a mind-affecting ability. Inspire courage can use audible or visual components. Drake must choose which component to use when starting his performance.
Famous (Ex) Drake is famous in the Armory District of Sigil. The locals are more likely to react favorably toward him there. Drake gains a +2 bonus on Bluff and Intimidate checks in that area and to influence people from the Armory District.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Fast Fingers (Ex) Once per day, Mac can roll two dice while making a Sleight of Hand check and take the better result. He must choose to use this talent before making the Sleight of Hand check.
Fast Getaway (Ex) After successfully making a sneak attack or Sleight of Hand check, Mac can spend a move action to take the withdraw action. He can move no more than his speed during this movement.
Measure of the Mark (Ex) When Mac makes a Sleight of Hand check to take something from a creature, the target makes its Perception check before the rogue makes his Sleight of Hand check, and the rogue knows the Perception check result. He can decide whether or not to make the check based on the results of the target’s Perception check. If the rogue elects not to make the check, he can make a Bluff check, opposed by the target’s Sense Motive, to prevent the target from noticing the attempt.
Stab and Grab (Ex) As a full-round action, Mac can make an attack and also make a Sleight of Hand check to steal something from the target of the attack. If the attack deals sneak attack damage, the rogue can use Sleight of Hand to take an Item from the creature during combat; otherwise this ability can only be used in a surprise round before the target has acted. If the attack is successful, the target takes a –5 penalty on the Perception check to notice the theft.

With one use of this ability, Sir John can heal 1d6 hit points of damage (1d6 for every two paladin levels he possesses). Using this ability is a standard action, unless Sir John targets herself, in which case it is a swift action. Despite the name of this ability, Sir John can use his tongue or a paw to use this ability.
Alternatively, Sir John can use this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. Undead do not receive a saving throw against this damage.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Careful Disarm (Ex) Whenever Tess attempts to disarm a trap using Disable Device, she does not spring the trap unless she fails by 10 or more. If she does set off a trap she was attempting to disarm, she adds double her trap sense bonus to avoid the trap.
Fast Picks (Ex) Tess can use the Disable Device skill to attempt to open a lock as a standard action instead of a full-round action.
Nimble Climber (Ex) When Tess fails a Climb check by 5 or more, she can immediately make another Climb check at the surface’s base DC +10. If successful, she stops her fall by clinging onto the surface. The rogue does not take falling damage when she stops his fall in this manner.

I had a massive computer failure this past week. I just got back into the forum now! It sucks it took so long.

Anyone else know that poem?

I don't particularly like it

Ha! I'll give you a whimper!

I don't think most people do, it's mostly the ending that is quoted.

Given it's (in one reading at least) about the hanging of Guy Fawkes (it's his whimper, rather than the bang of blowing up Parliament he wanted), it's not entirely inappropriate for us.


I'd rather the "falls the shadow" passage if I had to pick something out of the poem, but I'm not that fond of Elliott generally.

ha! Wonder if Guy Fawkes knew he would be remembered for ages to come.

Furthermore I only know that part of the poem for the most part, and nothing of Elliott.

Probably a post coming from me soon.
