Valerian doesn't seem much like Minato at all >_>. Couldn't you have picked Yu instead?

You say this when I'm pretty sure I haven't even posted a description of him!

(but yes, he totally looks more like Yuu. It's just that that Thanatos pic was totally ballin' and I liked it way too much. This fits him more:

It is, indeed, probably for the best, the Shock Spiral in the Marial fight was kinda bull**** of the highest caliber. Much like the fact I briefly considered the possibility of tri-wielding.( Both hands and Euri's tail, if you were wondering. >_>) under the guise of "Making maximum use of one's body.") Decided against the prehensile tail, in related news. >_>'

...I'll be completely honest, I did not have the P4MC in my mind's eye when I pictured Val's physical appearance. More Lelouch from Code Geass. <_<'

This scrawny gent?



That...catches me by surprise, simply because Lelouch looks like he could never even begin to lift a weapon, much less an oversized poking stick of doom. What made you link Val's apperance to Lulu's?

--
Sburbopolis, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60981373

Oh hey, apparently I was wrong. Flame Spiral still works multiple times per round, just not per TURN. We just need to get some pushhax going and we're good.

--
Sburbopolis, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60981373

Not entirely sure. Honestly, I was mostly just thinking more along the lines of someone a little more... refined in appearance and bearing, I suppose.

Euri's tail would probably be able to move a bit, but I imagine it'd be too stiff to grab something.

So, to stay with the CLAMP aesthetic but pick a slightly more adventurous character, something like this?



Or this?



...You know, I'm totally OK with that. Syaoran has some ballin' designs.

Sburbopolis, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60981373

I'd say that's fair, yeah. ...Huh. I can't believe I hadn't noticed that Lelouch and the rest of the cast was designed by CLAMP artists before you mentioned that. Bloody hell. -_-'.

Am I to understand Euri is taking the heart sword? If so, you should probably put that on your sheet.



And also, guys, seriously. Post. Some. Wishlists. Not everyone has and it's difficult to parse loot properly if I don't have something from everyone.

Alright here's a revised list of a bunch of crap I'd like down the line, sorted by level for convenience

Level 1: Restful Bedroll (Adventurer's Vault)
Level 2: Boots of Adept Charging (Adventurer's Vault)
Level 4: Gauntlets of Blood (Adventurer's Vault 2)
Level 6: Iron Armbands of Power (Adventurer's Vault)
Level 6: Distance Javelin +2 (Adventurer's Vault)
Level 6: Amulet of Protection +2 (Player's Handbook 1)
Level 7: Ghost Strike Ki Focus +2 (Player's Handbook 3)
Level 9: Hide Armor of Durability +2 (Adventurer's Vault)

Any particular reason for the javelin? The ki focus takes care of that, after all. If you need a property, a Farbond Spellblade may be more effective. Beyond that, that's one nice set.

--
Sburbopolis, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60981373

Doesn't a thrown weapon return to you only if it's magical? If he used a mundane javelin with a magic ki focus, it wouldn't make the javelin come back, would it?

--

I don't even know what a farbond spellblade even is but it doesn't matter, I already have throwing hammers onhand, I just figured a heavy thrown weapon with a greater range (distance would give a javelin a short range of 15) might come in handy.

Addition to my previous wishlist: Scale armor. Mundane scale armor is OK, but if I can pick, I'd rather have Bloodiron Armor (or Dwarven Armor if that isn't available, but Bloodiron is the runaway choice). I'll be doing some heavy duty retraining come next level, so I'd love to get my hands on some armor. Again, mundane armor is A-OK, as it still gives me a net AC boost, but even a +1 armor would be terrific.

So, reworked and expanded list:

-Horned Helm: Adventurer's Vault, Head Items, Level 6.
-Power Jewel: Adventurer's Vault, Wondrous Items, Level 5
-Frostbrand Weapon Upgrade: Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium, Weapons, Level 8.
-Boots of Adept Charging: Adventurer's Vault, Feet Items, Level 2
-Bloodiron Drakescale Armor: Adventurer's Vault, Armors, Level 8.
-Prison of Salzacas: Adventurer's Vault 2, Zy Tormtor's Trinkets, Level 6.
-Badge of the Berserker Upgrade: Adventurer's Vault 2, Neck Items, Level 6.

I'd prefer it if the weapon and neck upgrades just unlocked instead of being found, and if the Prison of Salzacas and Boots of Adept Charging manifested as Boons that'd be great. The same goes for the Horned Helm and Power Jewel, but I can deal with it if that isn't the case so it isn't a big deal.

-After roleplaying out the night, left during the day. Rogdar, the dwarven artificer, left to do work on the crashed ship Raita was fought on a while back. Winter went with us.
-Arrived at the bridge connecting the Eladrin and Elven villages. Defeated another Fury and several Eladrin ghosts there.
-Met Bea, the teenaged bridge operator. Exchanged barbs and information with her, and promised to tell her uncle about her hiding place after crossing.
-Midway through the bridge cross, the controls went haywire, probably because Bea was slain by the Furies. We narrowly made it across.
-Met Captain Variel, who had been deceived by the Furies into thinking we were responsible for the massacre. Valerian managed to bargain into an audience with the village's elders by surrendering, and everybody else followed suit.
-Went to trial, defending our version of the fact from the Furies, Eren and Fanas...
-As well as Sonya, who teleported in bringing news of Bea's death. She bore a massive wound in her chest, dealt by Shursh.
-Sonya claimed that the group had killed Bea, insisting that Valerian had killed her with her blade. Evidence and counterevidence was presented. Brona managed to turn the tables on the Furies, exposing them.
-Fanas and Eren escaped, but Sonya stayed and summoned an army of ghosts. A fierce battle ensued, including the first appearance of...
-Ter'renthen Broguardinel (AKA Ter'ry Brogard), a heroic minion who managed to become a Heroic character and new Elven Elder (after the previous one was slain) through insane luck, unmitigated bravery, and a super clutch save from Euri. After sustaining grievous losses, Sonya was forced to run, and the elven village was saved. Variel, thankful for the help, bestowed the party with several magic items. Then the session ended.

Probably more detailed than it had to be, but it was a ballin' session and deserved a good description. We had a Phoenix Wright moment, a super minion, and more than one awesome party moments (like when the Exile infused Brona with power, allowing him to kick ass and take names even harder than usual, when Val's Vae Damno earned its name once more by supercritting the ghost of Bea's dead, resurrected by Sonya, when Euri saved Ter'ry, Vance's ironclad defense, and every time Jean opened his mouth to troll somebody).

So during a quick side session (which I was regretfully a little late to) Vance pawned off his old armor to an elfin merchant and bought a few lightning arrows for our ranger. Postin this here to remind myself to hand those over when we start next week lol

I believe Anagram said you can assume you have enough normal ammo - but enchanted ammo is something later from the PHB1 that we had to explain how it works (it's from adventurer's vault 2).

I would guess that special ammo should be counted specifically, while we continue to assume normal ammo is assumed?

For basic stuff yes. Not for special shots because that'd be cheap as hell, I think.

You can assume that you always have normal wooden arrows on you, unless for plot reasons you have no weapons. Anything magic must be kept track of, however.
