"Balor's Head" Cad Goleór IRC: Planning

[HippopotamusDundee]

I'm in! And for your approval, here is Medraut in Q&D form:

Animals    2
Athletics    0
Charm    0
Deceit    2
Knowledge    5
Melee    0
Occult    5
Perception    3
Persuasion (Intimidate)   3
Ranged    0
Willpower    5

Profession:
•   Survivalist - Druids get a +5 bonus on Knowledge or Willpower rolls related to surviving in the natural world.

Class Features:
•   Cantrips: Druids know lots of small, utilitarian spells. By concentrating on the spell for a turn and spending an AP, the Druid is able to cast a minor spell to solve a problem. It should be something that can in theory be accomplished by mundane equipment, such as creating light, opening a door, lifting something, and so on. Sometimes a skill roll may be necessary; the Wizard can choose whether to roll the relevant skill, or Occult.
•   Rituals: Druids can also carry out longer incantations, such as conjuration, summoning, divination, attack, and defense. The Druid spends an AP and decides on a ritual, which is assigned a complexity by the GM: anything from 5 for a quick magical attack to 30 or more for an elaborate summoning ritual. The Druid then decides how many turns to break the ritual into, rolling against a portion of the difficulty on each one. For example, a complexity 20 ritual could be two turns of 10, or four turns of 5, or, if the Druid is very skilled or confident, could try to handle it all at once. The results are then adjudicated each turn of casting, except "Bonus Awesomeness" simply reduces remaining complexity by 2.

Oh cool, the druid returns!  And that looks good, Hippo, but if I counted correctly I think you should actually take 5 more skill points to be on a level with the others.  Just don't push anything past 5.

[sparkletwist]

I counted 25 skill points, which is what everyone has, unless we got a level up that I didn't notice. :D

I worry that the Q&D incarnation of the Witch and the Q&D incarnation of the Druid are a bit mechanically similar. On the other hand, the characters are rather different-- so there may not be as much overlap between Sorcha and Medraut as the pure numbers would suggest.

[Seraph]

Oh, I miscounted.

[Seraph]

We are currently playing tomorrow.  Hope to see everyone there!

[Seraph]

And remember the time is 6 eastern, 3 pacific.

[sparkletwist]

I will be there!

[sparkletwist]

Just as a precautionary heads up I know for sure I will not be able to attend next week.

[Seraph]

I might not be able to make it either.  We have a preview performance that day, so timing would be tight, and there may well be several other things I need to do.

[Seraph]

Just finalizing I am definitely not going to be able to make it tonight.  We'll see about next week.

[Seraph]

How do people feel about gaming this thursday?

[Steerpike]

I should be available.

[Humabout]

I can make it, I do believe.

[sparkletwist]

Sorry, this has not been the greatest week and I'm just not up for a game this week. I won't be there.

[Steerpike]

That's sad to hear, sparkletwist.  I hope your week improves.

I can still be there, potentially, but it's up to you of course Seraphine.
