I've been wondering why the Sociopath feat in D&D has a cap on Charisma (I believe it's 15). At least when considering historical serial killers, many of them had a lot of "people skills" and general superficial charisma.

Re: BoG'r OOC.

I don't know if Zimmy was simply to busy to answer any of my posts or if she is lost or something, as i asked her to reply, she has been online, but still nothing.... weird Smiling

I am trying to get something done ingame, if she isn't interested I just as easily will spend my efforts elsewhere... no biggie, just need to know.

@ Azure, If zimmy is not interested in Ii'Jyka buying a few +1 daggers for her, I will simply stick with the list I had:
+4 circlet of wisdom(16,000),
Crystal mask of Dread (+10 intimidate, 10,000),
Wand of cure serious wnds, (11,250)
2x Strand of Prayer Beads, healing, (9,000)

Total:55,250

50,320 for the weapon, +5,000 from my share of PP, leaves me roughly 1300 gold

(19,170: 3= 6,390)

Re: BoG'r OOC.

OK Folks, let's get this train started again.

Zim, Ya'shenn might want to talk to Ib'm, Master (mistress?) of the Port. She could (and will) answer any questions about the local situation, as well as the larger regional picture. The captains will know more about the regional picture, each is his (or her) own way. For instance, Zjaa and Ra-Shiis are recently come from Mulmaster, and so don't know as much about these particular waters as other captains do, but would be able to say what the situation in the north is like.

DM assumes everyone has a map of Faerun, or CAN google onE online to get the 'lay of the land'. The PCs can easily obtain mundane maps if they so desire here in Starmantle, so the location of the cities mentioned can be in-character knowledge from this point on.

Just some base info, but these aren't detailed enough imo...

And Azure: Not only Zimmy is interested in that kind of info, So am I (my character)

Testing dice roller to see how i can remember how the Bl**dy thing works... I still hate it, but will do my best to use it.
Aparently it uses a dot instead of a comma, so my last roll the 37 stands as used for IC as the correct rolling.
(though it is extreme to get a "20" (37) on the first correct roll) Sticking out tongue

I rolled 1D20, each(17), the result is .
I rolled 1d20.each(10), the result is 15 = 15.

Yea, I really don't know what happened. I've been waiting for a response from Zim or B.D.

I do check every now and then but february is a bust. Honestly, I haven't been working on The Lady's Sharper Eye either. I've been shooting for two issues a year, but only have 3 articles so far.

Anyway, I'll try to do a long post you can work off of before the weekend is out.

Re: BoG'r OOC.

Items Ya'shenn would like to purchase:

Psionatrix of Psychokinesis (2,000 gp)
Alchemist's fire x2 (40 gp)
Acid flask x1 (10 gp)
Tanglefoot bag x3 (150 gp)
Thunderstone x3 (90 gp)
2 cases of 10 crossbow bolts each (2 gp)
A week of rations (3.5 gp)
5 masterwork daggers, githyanki-forged if possible (1510 gp)
1 dagger +1 (again, githyanki-forged) (2302 gp)

I think this would leave her with 281 gp (and 5 sp) out of her share of the party treasure.

Please let me know if this works, and I'll add the equipment to Ya'shenn's character sheet (and maybe make a post about it).

Re: BoG'r OOC.

ITEMS

All items on both Ya'shenn's & Ii's shopping lists is OK. With Ib'm et al's help, all items can be located. The whole list can't be filled instantly, obviously, and a great deal of 'off camera' time is spent doing legwork and talking to people. The lists will be considered filled by morning on day 3.

Re: BoG'r OOC.

* campaign flavor note *

The phrase "hold a dagger for" has several shades of meaning. On its most basic level, it implies a closeness to a commanding officer, such that one might hold the commander's secondary weapons for him/her. It could also imply an eagerness to please to the point of toadying; i.e. a subordinate that would run to fetch the commander's daggers when they were thrown in battle. There is also an uncouth association with the phrase, especially when the commander in question is male.

So, a question remains; "Was Ii just insulted by a low-rank soldier?" The answer is: Maybe. Ib'm stopped the githwarrior from saying anything that would really dig him a grave. How Ii is going to take it is up to her, since the githwarrior just said something that could be taken simply as "Pale seems to listen to you." or can be taken as "You're a sycophant and a suck-up and you're probably sleeping with Pale as well."

Re: BoG'r OOC.

Hey Zimmy....

and to all..:
Should i slap him silly or should i rise above it?
I have so far played the char that she does not take such insults lightly... hence the initial duel when i entered the game.. Eye-wink
BUT... I think I will challenge this dude to a boxing match, and proceed to kick snot out of him by hand... un-armoured and without weapons i have a severe advantage Laughing out loud

Re: BoG'r OOC.

This has the potential to be an amusing scene... Eye-wink

I would say it depends on the situation -- particularly on the results of Ya'shenn's Sense Motive. I don't think Ya'shenn would be completely opposed to Ii intimidating or smacking around this guy, but she would probably think he should have the opportunity to back down, and wouldn't want Ii to go over the top (no duels to the death).

Being Ya'shenn, she's likely to try to defuse the situation as well.

Ya'shenn would like the "good relations" with the Apocalytes to continue. First because of expediency (they make better company than Pale), but she also would not at all mind if *her* power bloc develops a good relationship with the Apocalytes, rather than some other bloc. As long as nothing Ii does threatens that good relationship...

Re: BoG'r OOC.

well i could simply proceed to bitch-slap this guy untill 0 hp..as my UAA still do subdual, in addition to the "echem..vile...echem" damage she does with her natural attacks...

Ii does not look that much physically taller then any other average Gith, only a lot stockier.

I have no intention of killing him, but I will also not let someone insult me so easily and get away with it.. I guess regardless of relations with Apocalypse, they would want to see strength of person/ character in the ppl they work with, I know I as Ii would....

If I recall, vile damage doesn't heal much/easily. Ya'shenn would prefer, if Ii has to beat up that guy, that she do so in such a manner that some form of healing will work. Smiling

Your to demanding Sticking out tongue

1D4+4 subdual/ +3 vile.. that's what my UAA damage-wise is, so he will survive, and most heals easily... except for some, and I and Ii would think that's a fitting punishment for letting his tongue run like that... in older times he would have been executed on the spot for talking in such a way to a knight... so he deserves some decent punishment regardless imo.
Just so the point comes across...
