Sounds fun. The one thing i miss about 3.5 is bane weapons and the one-hit kill magic. Maybe ill have a rhode islander bane mace. Ill bring in weapons of legacy this friday if were still on. Im sure ill get jokes about chipmunks from my wisdom teeth but ill endure

Pretty swollen, are you?  I think most of us have seen it before.

One hit kill magic, to my mind, is very D&D.  Missing out on that kind of magic really changes the feeling of the game, but of course the big problem with it was it was great fun for players to chuck save-or-die spells at monsters BUT it's much less fun to have them chucked back at you.  It's also worth mentioning that more than a few GMs cheated on saves for this kind of thing.  You could never kill the big bad with a save-or-die spell in games like this...most of the time you couldn't even save-or-die kill famous innkeepers.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:  4e is a lot of fun, but it's not really D&D.  Missing out on Vancian magic, save-or-die spells, and powerful magic that does big things like animate dead and planeshift...these are big changes.  (Yeah, I know they're there as rituals, but it's not the same at all.)

[VikingWarrior]

I agree. The structure is better in 4e but it lacks the creativity of 3.5 thats why im paying 49.99 for the pathfinder rpg. Maybe psionics will have shenanigans. I say they have a 3.5 tribute edition of 1000 ways to die. Bastilla sneak attack, head explosion, brain extraction, death touch at lvl 1, decanter drowning, or my personal favorite: polymorph into fruit by the foot

Speaking of bane. Could i have the "bane" weapon, i forget the name, it had +2 price bonus and gave you the bane property which stacked on any foe who scores a crit on you? I think its fiercebane. In other words if a dwarf scores a crit twice i get +4d6 damage against dwarves for the encounter. Thatd be very nice =)

[Guu]

Is that an item in a 4e book somewhere?

4e books are pretty well OK until I say otherwise.  Except for complete divine.  That one we're ignoring because it is dis-titillating to Tom.

[VikingWarrior]

Yep i checked online and found it. Fiercebane weapon. Idk from where though i think it said mop. Ill be there tonight i brought an extra map to help out. Cya there

[VikingWarrior]

Hey just in case. I left my map behind yesterday you can leave it in the back and use it just as long as it stays there. So what became of zero and the succubus?

[Guu]

The succubus smooched Torgias and made him a love slave.  With his help she escaped.  You didn't really miss much.

I doubt anyone will mess with your map...the store is usually 100% safe.  Of course, you won't be able to sue if someone snatches it...

If you're interested in a fiercebane weapon you can purchase one for book price from Owen, get the wizard to make one for you, or I'll work one in as treasure.

And finally, for the Calablog (or whatever it was called) weapon, I plan to tool it up for 4e and work it in at some point.  Don't hold your breath, though, I'm thinking it's a paragon tier artifact. 

[VikingWarrior]

Oops... I traded my free item from the new character... I was gonna ask if i could retrain if possible because i wanted to play a str based cleric, the opposite of tom. But i assumed we were f**ked by that last encounter! Let me know if im allowed. Itll stay a warforged. I have a back story to kill off zero

[Guu]

You should stay a defender because you're very good at making my poor monsters die.

And eventually when I get tired of it rocks will fall, and YOU'LL die!

Then you can reroll as whatever...oh yeah.

[VikingWarrior]

Wow i just realized... My fighter is a warforged! Bwah hahaha! I just need to retrain and trade with owen to get a +2 vicious executioners axe and im all set. Your succubus better put on an extra thong now! If im allowed to retrain, and maybe pick a cooler name.

[VikingWarrior]

Hey since im already on my knees begging... Do we have room for one extra pc to play? Probably not but it was worth a try cuz my friends gotten into dnd and we cant find another campaign. Then again i havent talked to him in a while he may have found one (less awesome than ours obviously) by now. What-evs. As long as i get my murderous axe im happy as a rhode island clam

[VikingWarrior]

Havent heard back in a while. Silence usually means demons and demons usually means "NO!!!" hopefully i get at  least a lil good news and soon. Were playin this friday if i recall. It should be pokemon as always, maybe even a new "imaginative" color

[Guu]

We follow all the basic rules for retraining, which I think state that you can switch up one of whatever each time you get a level, so you can retrain your weapon proficiency (which I guess is what your after) during your move from 7 -> 8.

As for having a new PC join, I don't think that's gonna go.  Six is the max I want to reasonably handle.  If your friend makes an effort to connect with people at Battlegrounds though, he can probably find some gametime.  Isn't there some sort of living FR thing going on Saturdays?

[VikingWarrior]

ok so is it like greyhawk where you just show up or is it something you gotta ask to join? there isnt any more frequent games at bg?

as to my character... im in a clusterf**k about which defender is best still but ill stay my fighter till i die and become a pally again
