I don't know, some people might want to play duthka'giths for roleplaying reasons. Cool

I am honestly surprised you are directly adressing me, even if it is on the OOC board... Shocked :shock: Smiling

They might, yes, but its often rule, that certain people will play a certain race on a certain concept of character, Half-Dragon is not known for its World-savvyness, but anybody can try ofcourse,
that being said, Dutka'Gith has a little up compared to the savvyness of a 1/2 dragon.

Diplomacy , sense motive, and bluff are all on the dragon skill list, and so too for half-dragons.

Magic 8-ball is guessing Far Hand racial ability. The illithid head was probably just to distract Ii visually (so she wouldn't look at the crossbow).

Right! Except for the far hand, actually. Something has to be in sight for far hand or telekinesis. Clairtangency, on the other hand ...

Yes, Gy-Nath is an accomplished kineticist.

Asnd as forr the undead illithid head, it really was more to distract Ii than anything else, but that may change soon.

Just pointing out, if using a melee weapon, Ii can't perform a full attack with it in the first round if she starts more than 5 feet away from Gy. Not sure how far apart they were at the start, though.

ok, to remedy that, i'll use my 1st attack to throw a weapon, dagger in this case..ok?
that would clear up some of the mess Smiling
and to be honest the defensive roll was for the Thing, in case he did try to actually hit me..

right:
turn 1, he is faster'
shoots crossbow and swings Thing,

I react by throwing a dagger, if allowed, but then my to hit is 2 lower, still a hit if your defensive roll is that 17...
and my readied action was to cut the chain swinging towards me, thats already done, or is that my turn 2 reaction?
turn 2:
he goes to Disintegrate the roof, i have yet to do anything

my adrenaline just shot up by 10 points on a scale of 1-10 Laughing out loud

Yes and no. It was for the first attack you make against him. However, you already said you were attacking the chain first, and were successful. He has higher initiative, however, and can act before you reach him.

Of course, everyone sees what's going on, right? Gy-Nath wants to play his game, not Ii's. He's got psi, Ii does not, so he wants to make her bleed before she can close.

Burning Spear, I'm sorry if the combat seems odd, rest assured I am trying to be fair as possible, but do not be temped to contradict the DM Sticking out tongue .

Yes, true, but Ii makes a de facto attack as gravity takes over. Therefore there will be umm .... an attack roll but also a miss chance same as if Gy had total concielment, i.e. 50% miss chance. So, BS, roll any die and call even or odd. If you call wrong, Ii misses, if you call right, make an attack vs AC 19.

I think it out of logic though, that (if you look at the Katana and the Nagamaki (Nagamaki is roughly 1,4 times bigger/ more mass).) a Nagamaki in game terms would only do 2D4 dam base, and a katana 1D10, so i have a 2D6 crit 20, slashing weapon instead, we did not discuss if the 2D6 was for all Nagamaki's or for just mine,
but this imo would be logical.
So in game balance, slightly less effective then a 2hander which is ok by me. 20/x3 instead of 19-20/x2

"Accede" is an interesting word, in English.

It can mean "to agree," "to give consent," "to yield to a demand," or "to become a party to an agreement."

OK, it might be an odd character concept, but bear with me.

The Githyanki Bard: Bardic tradititons of the githyanki are different from that of other races. The githyanki bard is expected to be a scout and a lone operative behind enemy lines. They are loremasters, but also jacks-of-all-trades, knowing some sorcery, some swordplay, some stealthiness, and many other things. They might be likened somewhat to Athasian 'bards' who are expected to be as good of assassins as they are musicians. Unlike many other bards, githyanki do not spread knowledge, rather they keep it until they report to their commander, at which point their highly-trained memory and observation skills come into play. One way in which they are similar to other races' bards is in their use of music. Many githyanki instruments are unique, and some cannot even be played properly without an innate telekinetic ability.

Yes I really do sit around coming up with character concepts. The githyanki bard isn't going to be anywhere near as interesting as the (insane) illithid with bard levels that will be coming along, I think.

Heh heh. You know that illithids play the bone-thriven not only for personal entertainment, but also to keep thralls suitably unsettled and cowed, right? Laughing out loud

Actually, regarding the poisoning-one's-head thing, I'm hoping we'll have time to see if there's anything we want to buy/sell before the raid (though I would discourage selling obviously ghaik-related stuff right now).

they (Ghaiks) would be able to trace the stuff back to whoever of the party sells the relevant stuff, so either dont sell, or sell it to someone u can 100% trust i guess..

I'm selling stuff that I took of the victims of my ever-so-pleasant mugging earlier on ( Laughing out loud ). Nothing useful to trace. It's not like large arms purchases in Git'raban are uncommon anyway.

Yeah. I was thinking that (with care) we could buy/sell most things, but I wouldn't recommend selling, say, the Drizzt scimitars or the life-drinking shortsword, seeing how those were the personal weapons of individual Tamers.

Street might have taken them from a drow, but not necessarily. Illithids sometimes forge their own weapons (or, more probably, have the thralls do the menial work, while they themselves do the 'fine' work).

I'm not sure if anyone checked, but either they or the shortsword might be magical/psionic. Even if not, illithid-wrought scimitars would make nice trophies.
