Ithy, skulking in the now-more-complete darkness, raises her rapier to the fleeing noble in the darkness, located by her ability to see 60ft. in complete darkness, and politely informs him his minions stole her lockpicks, he should prepare to suffer.
FTFY.

Also, just a question, are you rolling to confirm crits?
...Wait, do changelings have darkvision, or is it that they get the features from the race they imitate?

Regardless, no, I usually don't roll crits for confirmation; I feel it makes combat a little more exciting. I could've sworn I'd mentioned it, though. Guess not. Would you guys prefer I roll to confirm crits from here on out?

I don't mind, though it makes crit builds a llot more powerful.

I'd prefer crits get rolled honestly. Mainly due to the fact that it makes them a bit more special.

Neither; it's from the Dark Creature Template.

Regardless, no, I usually don't roll crits for confirmation; I feel it makes combat a little more exciting. I could've sworn I'd mentioned it, though. Guess not. Would you guys prefer I roll to confirm crits from here on out?
Some of the problems with not rolling to confirm are that it a) screws over the PCs b) makes weapons like Scythes prone to insta-gibbing things c) makes Power Attack and other "trade accuracy for damage" things much more effective than they otherwise would be.
There are other reasons too, not least being the (subjective, but still) point that it makes crits feel rather boring.
Also, especially at lower levels it makes combat feel far too random.

Pardon me: Do we know what race these knights and stuff are?

Well, you can't really see any skin (Especially not in the darkness), but they'd appear to be human, elf, or orc, with human being the most likely option. Of course, other, more exotic races aren't impossible either.

So we can't rule out the possibility that they're Ogres with "Reduce Person" permanced on them.

Sorry about the absence. Dwarmin had it about right.

If I had not been absent, I would have specified (well, I did, in my last action, but other things have happened since, so I don’t mind) that I was still using Inspire Courage.

Healing Culpa seems a reasonable thing to do to me.

So when's the update?
I wish to crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their demon!

It's coming, probably pretty soon.

Sorry about the gap in updates, RL stuff has been busy. Should die down before too long.

YOu know who else got busy with real life instead of their online game of D&D? Stalin did. You're not like Stalin... Are you?

Yes, you're absolutely Hitlarious, but you're really Stroessnering me out. But I will remain Trujillo to my word and update, once I have the chance.

Horrible puns about horrible people aside, there should be an update up tonight. Would be earlier, but I need to help keep my little brother entertained.
