Aaah. Thank you! That threw me for a loop. Ein moment...Let's go with the Female... token, Column 4, Row 4

[Squeegy]

So, female1?

[birdy51]

Why not!

[Urist Arrhenius]

I'll take wizard2..., which is the one immediately following wizard2

[Squeegy]

How the game will be played:
Solgeid will enter the Rakshama underground pass from the north entrance at the same time as Paralun enters it from the south entrance. Each team will play in a separate thread, which the other team is forbidden from looking at. Both teams may post in the OOC thread at their leisure. There will be two modes: combat mode, and resting mode. During combat mode, each team will submit actions for the turn as though they were in combat, and the turn will be resolved for both teams at the same time. Either team may at any point enter resting mode by agreeing to rest for a certain number of hours. They may then perform actions freely, and dedicate hours of that time to sleeping or crafting or roleplaying or what have you, as long as they do not trigger combat or move forward in the dungeon.

While one team is in resting mode, the other team will continue in combat mode until they also decide to enter resting mode, until they've spent a number of hours equal to the other team (thus catching them up to that team chronologically). The first team in resting mode may then resolve that mode and re-enter combat mode. They may then continue into the dungeon until they enter resting mode and free the other team into combat mode, et cetera. This will ensure that neither team gets the advantage simply by being faster, if for example one team's member drops out and needs to be replaced. If both teams manage to reach the center of the dungeon, they will fight to the death. The winner wins the game, as well as the dungeon's prize, and may retire their adventurers. If neither team survives, no one wins, and the dungeons of Rakshama remain unplundered. Best of luck to you both!

Now the real fight begins!

Can I change my icon to Warrior 2?

[Squeegy]

Sure. You guys can also submit your own pictures and have me edit the heads into tokens, if you've got a piece of art you feel really represents your character.

So I was talking to Squeegy way back when this thread was like, 9 pages long. I was like, "Man, I like foot soldiers, but I'm worried I might hold the game up." because I've been drawn into not computer stuff lately. He said it'd be fine, I'd only have to post like, once every few days, at most!

Of course, the game starts the exact single day I stayed up until 7 AM and slept in until 4 PM. Whoops! Sorry.

So I'm looking through equipment and then I see the stats for the various spears available. Notably, I find that the Short Spear, Spear, and Pike all do different amounts of damage. Perhaps you should make them all do the same damage but instead give them different amounts of reach? The whole point of a spear is its reach, after all, and separating different types of spears by their reach rather than their damage would be something unique for that class of weapon. Before I talk about halberds, what's 'R'? I've read through the PDF but I couldn't find mention of what it does. What's CR?

While I'm talking about weapons, I think you should include the katana as a weapon.

Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.

Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

Here is the stat block I propose for katanas:
Damage: 5d6
Type: Sword
Weight: 2.5 units
Cost: 20N
CR: 4
Notes: 2H, Severing, +1000 damage to anything that's not another katana
MH: 26297

Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?

[Squeegy]

R is Reach and CR is Critical Rating. I will not be giving spears differing reaches in this version.

Get your weeaboo shit outa here, we need a katana we'll just rename a sword. We're peasants, not samuri.

Anyways, I don't see a reason to change the spear's stats. Afterall, a short spear has less handle to thrust with so it's gonna do less damage. Same with the other two.

I....but....what!? No! That's not how it works at all! If you want proof, find two sticks of different lengths, then poke your little brother with each of them and ask which one hurt more.

[kj1225]

Don't got a brother.

[Squeegy]

A better reason is that the different types of spears have different types of heads which can do different damage.

[Andres]

Oh, sorry about that.

Wouldn't that be represented through weapon quality?
