As a GM, it probably matters most to me. In my world, the difference between amateurs and professionals is night and day.
Although she hardly gets to display it, Shirley Mack in our Broadsword game has professional-level singing. This means there is nothing amateurish about her ability to...
@celestialbody Ask as many questions as you wish - whatever comes to mind. That's how I learned! I can't be the only one here either.
Natural (meaning "not adjusted by any modifiers; the roll on the die itself) d20 rolls of 1-4 result in an automatic miss.
Rolls of 1 are the worst...
If I may add to this?
@celestialbody We can, if the battle lasts that long. There is nothing saying you have to, but if you're in a battle that lasts multiple Rounds, it's very much a waste not to use every Action your character has available.
No. Your Bellamy has 7 Actions per Round. Each...
@Sherwood If you do allow it, I will respectfully decline to select it for Chaska. I am in the process of saving up more Prehensile Tails - each provides an additional Action per Round (not tail-based, but for the character's total Actions!). He's currently at 8 Actions per Round. Eventually...
@Kaerri I had thought about that too but "professional quality" means something differently among martial artists than it does for many other walks of life.
(I admit I hadn't gotten very far along with the thought when I must have been distracted by something else.)
I think I'm warming up to...
@Sherwood Where on her character sheet do you see that she has Host Armor Combat? If it's there, I'm missing it.
I thought the Swarm Lord was like the Deliveryman in that those Classes weren't allowed to select that skill? I don't mind being wrong and I'll be glad to learn that her character...
@Sherwood You're welcome! How about the rest of Celeste's questions? Only you can answer those, My Good Bud. =)
EDIT: I'm also asking because I'd like to know the answers. Swarm Lords are new to me too! =)
The only thing I can say with certainty is - the 6 Actions per Round in Bellamy's Host Armor sounds off. Jeet Kune Do gives 5 , Boxing gives 1. In the Host Armor, Ambidextrous gives another 1. That's 7.
As for the rest of those questions? If you ask me, that's purely Sherwood-territory...
Whenever I do this, it's all just a smack against an often annoying Auto-correct and a chance to get smiles out of everybody here. How can a Purr like me resist? =)
"Specialized" is a term I first ran across in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons where Fighters could specialize in their chosen weapon and then double specialize later if they so desired. This is used in in future editions of D&D too.
It's easy for me to use, but I don't want to sway the...
Ooh, good question! Hmm. Let me experiment.
W.P. Large Sword (remember - in this game, swords come in large and small and they are separate Weapon Proficiencies).
W.P. Large Sword +2 (specialized)
W.P. Large Sword +2 (professional quality)
W.P. Large Sword +2 (intensive training)
W.P. Large...
@Silanon If memory serves, you want to play a highly mobile huntress who practices Choy-Li-Fut?
Here is a list of skills I think would be handy:
Awareness (+1 to Perception rolls at 1st level and an additional +1 every 3rd level).
Navigation (not Land Navigation has that only applies to the...
