They went up to X8 Dinny the Mole had X6 Claws that he got the money from Yago then almost immediately was blown into a secondary vortex thing a majigger … Not nearly as bad as having your soul destroyed ( Looking at Yago again) but he at least it cost him nearly 90K

since a very polluted cloud was arguing this point : from Jim Ward on FB : "Setting the Record Straight I never claim to be an expert in AD&D. While I have read through 5E and written some product for it, I don’t know it well. I was around when AD&D and 2E were made and I have studied them carefully and written a ton of product in those lines. I admit to being an expert in general role-playing. I wrote the first science fiction role-playing game in Metamorphosis Alpha. I wrote the first Apocalypse role-playing game in Gamma World. I’ve worked happily on lots of other game companies. Troll Lords let me write a third version of role-playing deities in OF GODS AND MONSTERS. I also wrote what I think is a fun horror campaign world for C&C in TAINTED LANDS. Fifty or sixty products later I met Stephen Lee. He has a brilliant concept in his LOST 77 WORLDS. I had the pleasure of writing the basic rules and the advance rules in a great apocalyptic campaign world. After writing a few things, I talked him into doing a fantasy set of rules in DRAGONSCALES. I love that line. In both of those systems we use the original concept of drawing playing cards instead of rolling dice and so far the many play-tests have worked great. We are contemplating doing a horror campaign using a novel called LONG CLAWS that I think could be wonderful. Stephen has a facebook page for both the Lost 77 Worlds and Dragonscales. If that wasn’t enough a pair of amazing writers called me wanting a fantasy campaign that they want to give away to help promote their novel line. Nick Cole and Jason Anspach created the FORGOTTEN RUINS and I had the pleasure of doing those rules and two tournament adventures for that line. It’s in editing right now and will release when the novels come out. They have a facebook page. Forty some years later Chris Clark and I just finished writing THE STARSHIP WARDEN. It’s a 600 page book filled with detailed maps of the 17 starship levels, the dome, and 16 between levels. It took two years to write and will be a product in the Troll Lord line with a kickstarter in October. That brings me up to date with Stephen Dinehart. He makes theme parks for a living. He asked me to make a fantasy/apocalypse campaign set of rules we are calling GiantLands. With the rules he plans on making a theme park using the role-playing concepts. He has a facebook page. Why in the world am I bothering to post all of this almost ancient history? I’m noting a lot of wrongful critique of Gary Gygax and it irritates the hell out of me. The man had his faults just like all of us, but he created an entirely new genre of gaming. When ignorant people spout off about what he did and didn’t do, I feel the need to act. I make it my mission to post when I read such ignorant comments trying to show people what really happened in those long ago days. So, I just thought I would put some of my efforts on the record to make them harder to ignore when I pass away. No brag, just facts." Rick Meyer: May I ask is this in reference to the Kotaku article that came out today? James M. Ward I read the article. Many events in it are factual. However, I saw the Arneson notes. They are not near what Gary created. If Arneson created a complete game, one would think he would have published it. I have lost all respect for Mr. Kuntz because of his comments in this article. Gary treated him like a son and this is how he repays the man. Shame on him.

@daermadm Not sure i follow, if i’m a straight up level 30 wizard, and i cast a ninth level spell sphere of ultimate destruction, its going to do 60d6 (with no small penis damage caps), and assuming a failed save. Now i make a, Wand of Ultimate Destruction, CL30, 9th level spell Sphere of Ultimate Destruction, that does 60d6. Just as the same wizard cast it earlier, but now in wand form. The 30th level caster doesn’t want a CL29/Spell level 15 affect, they want a CL30/Spell level 9 affect, the ‘why’ this caster would do that is really irrelevant, if for any other reason than to be difficult. Which cube would i use from this table?

@halfgiant Woah woah woah now. Have you tried VSCode? It’s my goto for everything across all OSes nowadays. I don’t think I’ve launched a full blown IDE in a couple months, at least. Sorry but built-in intellisense, linting, testing, etc. is just to nice of a crutch for me to go full VI.

Another thread on the action economy https://obelisk.daerma.com/topic/302/its-all-about-actions?_=1661107580105

need ‘ta include the level when ya post these, G-money (book and page number too, if you got up - makes the DM’s life a lil’ easier when you’re applying the lube… b’sides, steal enchantment is for LESSER mages and normal casters who don’t gain access to the underlying spell circuitry ain’t you a proto-ancient already ?? or ya just posting this for comparisons to make things easier on the Cloud ?

Owl’s Insight (Spell Compendium, p. 152) Transmutation Level: Druid 5, Components: V, S, Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 hour Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) As you cast this spell, your face is overlaid with the image of a snow owl. The image fades as you bestow your ally with comprehension. The subject gains an insight bonus to Wisdom equal to 1/2 your caster level.

@halfgiant said in How multiclass characters work: do all three classes add in con bonuses for the levels for each of the classes in your calculation? Yes. Because you are spending the XP to truly level the class. Edited the first post.

@halfgiant said in Multiple Attacks: Rules for specialization above pertain to all classes as long as they meet the prereq’s? Yes. These are not fighter specific.

Impressive you have been busy. Cool, I’m on travel this next week…but after that i should be good to start jumping on and playing again. Thanks for doing this.

@daermadm Who me? [image: zu6gaW5.gif]

@daermadm said in Daerma 3.5 Reboot: 18/18/18 is 153,000xp * 3 = 459,000xp That translates to a 21/21 or 30 just by straight XP. This is why BooJism started at level 30 and leveled up quickly to 31 and then I think 32 by the final GenCon I attended. Ok since Saz is coming in as an 18 (Mage)/ 18 (Cleric) / 18 (Psion) / 1 (Powermaster) Kargin retooled for 3.5 will be a single class 18 (Artificer) / 8 (Ancient). Rorek will for the most part still be a single-class dwarven fighter and still at 26th level.

What’s even more jacked up is a suit of +5 Armor costs the same amount as a +5 Shield.

@daermadm said in Dwarven Mountains: It has been happy productive member of the Laputan empire for 15,000 years… I don’t know so much about liberate. We may have to bring in the big guns, have Varalla call in a marker, and have the Triplets fire up the out of time brewery and have there Brewing Clan of Dwarves operating in the out of time Brewery (who knows how many generations have been brewing in there by now) build a limited edition feature batch of Jamos. If that doesn’t curl their beards, and shake them into Dwarven independence, we have Marchella sweet talk the Argopolis Beer Dwarf, the seventh brewer of the seventh brewer, some say his Brewing Family Lineage goes as far back as the first dwarf. Marchella could have him pull from his own personal super super secret stash, and not the one Rolex and Damien raid (and Damar), that’s a one of many decoy stashes that the Beer Dwarf has had to establish over the years, otherwise he wouldn’t ever get any of his own good stock. If neither of those options work, then those Dwarves I’m afraid are lost to this world.
