Suggestions / Re: DM required to do PVP in properties

this is actually already the case!

The ghost of Gers Geiger laughs knowing Joachim died in inescapable debt.

Good PC, I enjoyed the legal battles we had.

make it the leftmost slot, to account for item bonus slots

I have myself successfully used a variation of the "You just attempted murder!" with no death magic involved. Court cases are about whatever you can get away with arguing, facts do not matter as much as you might think.

Let people subdue with PhK, and let them get thrown to the lions when their victim makes the save and then dunks them.

I think you will regret this feature, so I whole heartedly support it.

While teleport markers are just an abstraction to represent a PC memorizing the location (which is how teleport is described as working in paper D&D), this is probably a good balance suggestion.

Maybe a spellcraft roll for all observing PCs to notice the marker being set, and leave a message in the log?

From the wiki: "Paladins and Rangers can only brew one potion at a time, even with a potion cauldron."

Now that they actually have to spend one of their limited feats on Brew Potion, maybe such non-optimal builds could be rewarded a bit by having the restriction lifted so they can brew in batches like everyone else?

Also: could paladins get cure moderate wounds as a 2nd level spell instead of 3rd?

Journals and Musings / A Father's Journal

Its been a long time since I had access to paper, and money to buy it. And time to write upon it. Perhaps tomorrow I wont. Perhaps we will be here longer than I think.

I remember trees, briefly. Not like the sickly looking willows of the 98th Ring, but leaves verdant and green like emeralds. Is that why they called it the Emerald Hills? And how quickly we passed them by 10 years ago, and I have yet to see of their like again in all my life. Now it is sand, and ash, and storm. Occassionally there are bushes, cactus, and other such things. They are more beautiful than the foul gutters and crumbling alleyways of home, but il always think about those trees, and how we might never see their like again.

Screen Shots & Obituaries / Gers Geiger

Gers Geiger was originally meant to be a scribe ą̷̗̥̞̯͙̖͉̼̺͇͚̏́́̑̋ͅš̴̲̻̜̲͔̻̗̲̽̾͋̅̓̾̂̀̿̕͜͝͝s̶̼͇̙̻̾̒̂̎̍́̈́͝͝a̸͈͍̯͕̭̞͚̲̦̍̔̈́́s̴̮̣̤̈́̊̆ṡ̷̨̧̛̛̜̲̪̟̪̟̩̜͚̽̓̎̔̓̂̌̕͠͝i̸̢̤̰̘͖̟͉͍̲̝̽̄̔̐̐̈́̑̿̕͝n̸̪̓̋͑̋́̂̏͋̃̈̽̀, and a defense attorney. I saw some trials and thought "I could do a better job as advocate than that guy", then made the PC. I never ended up doing any of those things.


Somehow, I cannot recall what it was exactly, perhaps it came to me in a dream, I decided to start a guild for alchemists. I'm pretty sure I was inspired by the Glazier's Union and thought "What if we had that, but it was all PCs and not NPCs". While it wasn't quite that, we did do a few things, got our own tower, got our own lab, it felt like a neat little accomplishment. I enjoyed all the m̴̡̦͈̣̩͚̙͊̑́̍̽͑̀́̃̈̕ǘ̷͚͙̬̰̯̣̬̖̟͓̍̽̓͋̚r̷̥̯̹͑̚ḑ̶͙̦̳̻̬̦̗̻̲̫̳͍̄͗ͅè̴̛̙̪͔̗͍͉̞̀͛̆̍̽̈́̾͋̈̎̈́͘͜͝r̴̡͇̩̝̣̖̱̞̱̤̆̔̓̀̓̍̒̏͑̋͂́s̸̹͇͖̟͊̀̐̾̋͌́̽̈́̓̌͋̕ legal and political battles we had to endure, being the little guys trying to take a slice of the pie from the big leagues.

Recluta Otisopse,

Politics is indeed reactionary, but it can be proactive too. Predicting the moves your opponents might take and setting yourself in a favorable position ahead of time is a winning move on both the battlefield and the political arena. Weak stomachs ought to avoid both, as in both politics and war one will tend to encounter the same thing: adversity and the possibility of defeat.

As for the question of my master, he was indeed that, a master over me. Something I found that ill suited me. I am a man who excels when he has no master, when he instead is his own master. I left when I had a firm enough grasp of his teachings to set out on my own, practiced my own pursuits, despite the restricrions of his teachings.

He was an illusionist, the type of person who far too often (though not universally) fears adversity. Avoiding and hiding from problems instead of seeking lasting solutions, a popular strategy among wizards im afraid to say. Still, one cannot argue with the utility of his ways. Theres a reason the illusionist is so common among us wizard.

I am myself an illusionist, by his teachings. Any wizards I would train from the uneducated would similarly be illusionists, for it is what I fundamentally know, despite what most of see as my specialty. To truly become otherwise would mean to start over again from nothing, a luxury I simply cannot afford at this point.

And what of you? Why would a wizard become a soldier, when they can be so much more?

Signed,
Guildmaster Gers Geiger

Elle of The Rose,

  You are known to me as a composer of song, and I have need of your talents if I am to win this election that has been suddenly thrust upon us all. I would like to commission a song and accompanying performance, let us meet in person to discuss the particulars when next we are able.

Signed,
Guildmaster Gers Geiger
