Gee, wonder who the real villain will turn out to be...

Muahahaha. I was just going to play a Windfinder type sorcerer, but my wife was asking for variety in NPCs. So it'll be adventure dependent.

I still haven't found a game of my own :/

I really need to find one since out of the five games I was in, only two of them are (sometimes) running any given week-- last week I had no game at all. Feeling a bit... I guess you could say like an addict on withdrawl

Holy Moly. 5 Games with an average of 2 per week, and that's low? My RPG prowess cannot compare, my dice-fu is weak.

Yikes. We have one gaming night a week and can't always make that happen.

Used to be five games a week . But the the games on monday, wednesday, and thursday no longer meet, and the games on sunday and tuesday only sometimes meet now. :/

I'd be happy to have one regular game.

Ummm. Do you work? Yikes.

Yes. This is how I spend my evenings afterwards.

Ahab-esque Druid?

And the Queequeg reference raises questions about the Starbuck reference. What kinda Starbuck are you talking here?

Kara Thrace.

Clearly, he refers to the coffee.

So a Ranger/stereotypical Strabucks customer? Sounds hip, in a trying too hard kinda way. "I'd tell you about my feat but you probably never heard of it."

No.

Starbuck

I like Manchu's idea better.

What about some kind of celestial deer? That could work.

No.

Starbuck

That's not Starbuck!

This is!

What's beter than one starbuck MORE THAN ONE. Clearly, if you ever cast Mirror Image as your Starbuck character, this will be the result:



*no I will never stop finding this funny

Good point Mel!

And off down the rabbit hole...

Am I wrong to think of a completely different Starbuck when I see the name listed right above a "Queequeg-like barbarian"...? I mean, the first mate in Moby Dick *was* named Starbuck, after all....

...or am I just now getting the joke?

Oddly, while I realized that was wrong, this was the first person I thought of when I saw Starbuck. No idea why when there are actually people named Starbuck.

No need to berate yourself for thinking "wrong" thoughts Ahtman. We're not judging.

Nope, I hadn't thought of that originally when discussing character ideas but remembered later.

My wife's the one with the Starbuck (Kara) idea and hers was first. Queequeg came up later.

Are we still wholly off-topic, because I totally forgot about this picture:

Does this hipster ranger shoot an iBow™?

So the DMG release is delayed. It seems like quite a bit of its content-- or what I would have guessed is its content-- is already in the PHB.

Dual wield, I believe.

But does she dual wield her dual wield?

How about dual wielding, animated swords that have taken enough class levels to know magic (so they can magically hold things) and animate objects themselves. Then you can dual wield animated swords, that are dual wielding the animated swords they animated, that are dual wielding the animated swords they animated... and so on.

I wasn't talking about swords. I was talking about bows

Naturally, she'd be using multi-shot on each of those bows.

We ended up with all martial so I ended up switching from Barbarian to an Elven Evoker (I was on the fence about it anyway) to give us a little balance. So a few quick questions about magic. It sounds like I can cast a spell I have memorized for the day any amount of times up to my number of spells for the day, is that correct? As it stands I have four Level 1 and three Level 2, so if I wanted to I could cast Magic Missile four times as Level 1 and twice as a Level 2 if I wanted? I know I can memorize more spells but it doesn't seem like you are only limited to X uses of Spell Y. Is this an accurate understanding of how the new spell system works?
